Nora was born in Diamond City to caravan merchants wandering through, but she lived with her grandmother in Diamond City. When she was seven her parents were killed by super mutants and she was devastated, she began to develop a resentment toward super mutants and eventually began to lean towards the Brotherhood which she joined when her grandmother passed away when she was sixteen. During recruitment she formed a relationship with a Brotherhood Knight named Sarah, but never spoke openly about it due to the Brotherhood’s views on homosexuality. She became well known throughout the Brotherhood for data procurement, only second to a Brotherhood Paladin out on the west coast. She was soon chosen to track down the synth, Conrad along with three star paladins, a mutant paladin, a human scribe and a deathclaw scribe.
