Nadine (35) was originally a member of the NCR military but after losing her hearing in a Legion ambush, she was discharged. Despite being considered by her superiors as unfit for combat, she personally felt that she wasn't done with fighting and upholding the cause of the NCR and so she went East in search of a new cause to join and accept her skills. She ended up joining the Minutemen and protects the innocent despite struggling with her hearing loss. She ultimately hopes to bring a form of stable government to the Commonwealth. She often speaks too loudly as she is unable to effectively gauge the volume of her own voice. She is generally upbeat when she speaks, often sounding enthusiastic and positive. Moreover, she has a faint southwestern accent (Texas/Oklahoma/Nevada) that comes through at the endings of the words she speaks. She is highly efficient and organized in combat and logistics but still relies upon others as her hearing is limited and she doesn't know any sign language or lip reading.

When she talks to people, she has no real way of knowing what the other person is saying, so she assumes. Of course, she always assumes in her own favor. So, when she asks someone for help, she will assume the other person says yes. She purposefully projects a cheerful naivety, hoping that people will feel the need to watch out for her and help her out and consequently her entire demeanor is a carefully balanced act between confidence and helplessness. 

Record all audition lines while referring to the notes below for each line and do one take of each line.  

For the first audition line, you feel incredibly happy to meet another combat veteran like yourself. You truly admire those who put themselves in harm's way to protect the innocent and fight for justice. You really hope to get to know more about the lone survivor's past combat experience and perhaps trade some tips or work together.

For the second audition line, you want to prove to the lone survivor that you aren't some damsel in distress and there's more to you than meets the eye. You want to be intimidating while still maintaining composure. You've faced tougher looking opponents than him/her so it doesn't stress you out one bit, talking to the lone survivor in this manner.
