Roxie was the product of a star-crossed meeting between a salt-of-the-earth Californian caravan trader and the mysterious Miss Fortune, who saddled the bemused man with a baby before despawning. Although he hadn't wanted children, he muddled through and kept Roxie safe until she was 7, when opportunist raiders took all their stock and left her father dead. Roxie escaped notice by hiding under the cart's wheels.

She managed on her own from there on, growing up a hardened survivalist with a fear of staying too long in one place.

Luckily, travelling between cities and settlements lends itself to jobs that are always in demand. Roxie would pick up courier work, go on journeys as a hired gun, and in her own words would tell you she's worked every job under the sun. She could never muster enough patience to make friends and didn't see much point besides, but she does have a knack for anything mechanical.

The Mojave job that got her shot in the head and left to die broke much of her memory and gave her nothing to go forward on but making it to Vegas and facing down the guy that did it. Benny escaped, though, as he seemed too outright pathetic to take vengeance on. Although her memory gradually settled, some things, like her last name, and whether 'Roxie' is short for anything, stayed gone.

Roxie is also missing most hair on one side of her head due to gradual radiation exposure.

She hardly trusted the hacked-up robot who determined she was better off killed for her cargo, until finding a note from him in her bag imploring her to help finish Benny's work bringing New Vegas into the hands of the people, which was signed 'love, Yes Man'. It was the only time she'd ever received verbal affection. She pondered the note for some days before deciding to make it an official alliance.

She, Yes Man, and an army of securitrons rounded up the Legion, rescued Benny, and set New Vegas on a path away from overlords and despots. For Roxie, the realisation that even justified revenge doesn't bring back what got taken helped redirect her anger against those doing the most harm.

She accidentally made a few friends doing it, too. And she brought a whole ton of gold back from the Sierra Madre and used it to get a number of cybernetic implants (she could hardly leave Yes Man alone one day, could she?)
