she is in a sniper nest

Ranger Ghost is a member of the New California Republic's Rangers stationed at their border outpost in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. She appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Known by the nickname "Ghost,"[1] derived from being born with albinism and the resulting pale complexion,[Non-game 1] she is a veteran Ranger and a skilled marksman. Under orders of the outpost's commander Ranger Jackson,[2][Non-game 2] Ghost inhabits a rooftop sniper's nest, providing a long line of sight while defending against any threats coming up Interstate 15 from the deserts of the Mojave. Though committed to her duty as a Ranger, Ghost has come to despise being left to watch over the relatively peaceful outpost and being stymied by bureaucratic red tape that prevents the Rangers from taking meaningful action against actual nearby threats;[2][3] her curt demeanor fueled by this frustration has earned her the ignoble moniker of "bitch" from some of the merchants, although her skill with a rifle ensures that none will ever say that to her face.[4] In a roundabout way, her generally negative reputation has perks of its own: a good word about someone from her, who is known to hate "most everyone," is "as good as gold."[5]

Although she is an NCR patriot through and through, Ghost does not share in the imperialist zeal of the republic's upper echelons championed by President Aaron Kimball around the turn of the 2280s. In fact, she is world-wise enough to both recognize a load of malarkey and dismiss its validity just as quickly.[6] Her intuition is sharp enough to understand fully that the impending battle between the NCR and Caesar's Legion in 2281 will be far bloodier than anything the Mojave has seen before.[7] The ability to perceive the qualities of her surroundings extends to a reading of people and their intentions;[8][9] after a long time being stuck in a literal go-nowhere bureaucratic sinkhole, she holds a good deal of respect for those with the will and grit to take action
