【Alias】 The Lone Wanderer; That Crazy Kid From Vault 101; Courier Six; Six; the Grim Reaper; the Lone Courier.

the humble lone wanderer who went to the mojave, became a mailman, and got shot in the head. feels bad man. destiny is a possessive bitch- why does she have to keep saving humanity for fucks sake (and all she got for it was a couple of lousy bottlecaps and emotional trauma).
Personality
The Lone Wanderer turned Courier; a persuasive yet intimidating woman with an affinity for medicine and science. Eva prefers to talk her way out of dangerous situations, but isn't opposed to putting a few shotgun shells through someone's head... Or having them thrown off Hoover Dam. Even with her recklessness and impulsiveness (and other various brain damage related things) due to two bullets through the noggin, Eva is as good-hearted as they come- hence her Very Good karma. She loves to meet new people, but harbors a deep fear of anyone she grows close too leaving... but then again, she really doesn't have much evidence to the contrary, does she? Along with her faithful cyberdog Rex, her best robofriend Yes Man, and a myriad of companions, Courier Six resides at the top of the Lucky 38 casino in fabulous New Vegas, protecting it to the best of her ability with a watchful but benevolent gaze.
Eva is, at heart, a good person. She goes out of her way to be kind to people, even more so when she sees that they might not be used to that kindness. However, she tends on the violent side of things when provoked either verbally or physically, and Eva is reckless and extremely impulsive- she doesn't stop to think about how dangerous the situation she's running headlong into may be. This is largely in part due to the brain damage (specifically in the prefrontal cortex) suffered from getting two 9mm bullets to the noggin in the beginning of F:NV. Eva only weighs the consequences when they have to do with someone other than herself. She lives for the adventure and adrenaline, always curious and always willing to take risks just for the fun of it, but she can be extremely stubborn, and once she sets her mind on something, its nigh impossible to deter her from it. Eva is extremely intelligent and could easily be considered a genius, but she oftentimes lacks, well... common sense. Her companions are there for a reason, and the majority of that reason is to keep her from getting herself killed or pissing off yet another major faction.

History
'Who are you who do not know your history?'
That's what Ulysses had said. Not to her, sure, but it still stuck. Up until that point since fleeing the Capitol Wasteland, Eva had convinced herself that she left her past there as well, buried by the Tidal Basin alongside her parents. Travelling west, that was her new start. She wanted nothing to do with anything the east. Not anymore. She had known that, and made the decision to leave, ever since her father told her to run that day in the Rotunda before he died. So that's what she did, after the Tidal Basin was finally purified and she finished helping the stupid Brotherhood of Steel with dealing with the stupid Enclave and everything was so stupid stupid STUPID! Eva hated it. It was shallow, how the people of the Wasteland seemed to almost worship her like a messiah. That was stupid, too. She wasn't a messiah, she thought, she was... Eva didn't know what she was.
Eva Calder, once just the kid from Vault 101 who was searching for her dad, was a hero.
And she had to leave.
She left without more than a word to anyone, taking only a few mementos, most of them from her life in the Vault. Her vault jumpsuit. The photo of her father and her from her 10th birthday. That one piece of brain she had taken out when she went to Point Lookout- wait, why did she still have that? Anyways, deep down in her heart it hurt. Leaving her home, for the second time. Leaving behind the life she had carved for herself- not that it was much. She even abandoned her vault suit, that had seen her through so much trauma, neatly folding it and tucking it away at the bottom of her pack.
Once she reached the West Coast, she became a courier with the Mojave Express. Eva used her name sparingly, often choosing to go by just 'Courier.' She rather liked it that way. Eventually, her own name was shoved to the back of her mind. She wasn't Eva Calder, Lone Wanderer. She was just simply... a courier.
She travelled to places so full of life, she couldn't have dreamed of anything like them back in the Capitol Wasteland. Circle Junction. New Reno. Ford Abandon. Vault City.
Eva doesn't remember most of that, though. Her remembered memories stop around a year after leaving the east, thanks to Benny's little gift (in the form of two bullets to the head). Not to say she lost all her memories between then and Goodsprings. There's still scraps and fragments, jumbling about in her head and brought to light at random little moments. A Council. Aradesh. The Divide.
Eventually she took a job, to deliver a small package to the New Vegas Strip. She did indeed make it, but it took a bit longer than expected. Getting shot in the head tends to cause delays.
The rest of the story, they say, is history.
But it is a history she clings to desperately, not wishing to forget it like she forgot so much before. Purposefully, or accidentally.
With the assistance of her loyal AI friend Yes Man, Courier Six liberated Vegas from the tyranny of House, from the slavery of the Legion, and the jaws of the NCR. Throughout the Mojave, she was referred to by many names. The Powder Gangers called her the Grim Fucking Reaper. The Legion did not speak her name, simply spitting in the dirt instead. The rest of the desert called her the Wasteland Messiah. Jesus with a Shotgun. But, for the record, she much prefered Courier. Courier Six.
But before then, came the battle of the two Couriers, together, at the Divide. Though as Eva puts it, it wasn't really a battle.
A battle of wits, Ulysses would cut in.
Not even that, Eva would scoff. More like a shouting match.
But even if it was a shouting match between mailmen, it changed Eva.
"Who are you, that do not know your history?"
The words that opened a floodgate of repressed memories. Of flourescent vault lights. Of her father, of radiation and the Enclave. Of pure water. Of a number. 216.
She was the Alpha, and the Omega. The beginning and the end. She was Courier Six, but she was also Eva Calder. And her name, her life in the Capitol? That was a history she could not forget. And it deserved to be remembered.
She thought that James would like it that way.
