Murphy the Madwoman!

I wonder if the organics she's collecting are green?

"Its the Chems kid, they give ol Mama murphy" - extreme muscles.

Actually she does say when you ask her about buffout that she used to have muscles bigger then both your fists together, and ripped a raiders head clean off once.
At first I doubted her, but after seeing her SPECIAL stats... I'm inclined to believe its true.
