Miss Fortune is a mysterious character in Fallout: New Vegas who protects The Courier.
Background[]
Like the Mysterious Stranger, Miss Fortune will literally appear out of nowhere during V.A.T.S. to assist the Courier. However, rather than killing the enemies, Miss Fortune's attack causes little direct damage, but instead knocks them unconscious ("fatigues" them). Her attacks hit an area and has random mishaps on people.
They also have a high chance of damaging or outright breaking an enemy's weapons; this effect does apply to grenades and similar weapons and will cause them to detonate, typically killing the non-player character, after the V.A.T.S. sequences finish she will disappear as abruptly as she appeared.
Appearance[]
With this perk, Miss Fortune will appear 10% of the time in V.A.T.S. to attack enemies. To trigger an appearance, the player character must complete a series of attacks in V.A.T.S. without killing their opponent. Unlike the Mysterious Stranger, Miss Fortune's attacks deal low damage to an area, aiming to cripple and knock enemies down rather than kill them outright. Miss Fortune's gun creates a "fortune" percentage for the target.
If their fortune is under 35, it causes knock-down for 10 seconds and any grenades in inventory to explode.

Trivia[]
- Her name is a play on the words "misfortune" and "Lady Luck".
- The crippling effect can be especially useful against opponents which can be frenzied, mainly robots and insects.
- Miss Fortune is able to instantly kill the Ghost People, since they die upon having any of their limbs severed/crippled.
- Both the Miss Fortune and Mysterious Stranger perks can be chosen by the Courier, but they cannot appear together in the same V.A.T.S. sequence as they share the same trigger.
- Completing the Miss Fortunate Son (or Daughter) challenge will grant the award perk Friendly Help, increasing the chances of both Miss Fortune and the Mysterious Stranger appearing.
