You’ll be startled the first time you come across Virginia because of her 3 arms and 3 legs, but if you’re kind to her and give her space you’ll find that she’s a friend and not a foe.

If you put your weapons away and don’t approach her, Virginia will start to warm up to you and come around more frequently. One sign that you’re successfully befriending her is if she starts dancing when you’re watching her.

As you continue to prove that you aren’t hostile towards Virginia, she grows more attached to you. She’ll begin bringing you gifts like blueberries or a fish. Shortly after she brings you gifts, you’ll be able to give her items like guns and ammo to have her help you fight against hostile enemies. Here, we explain if Virginia has infinite ammo or not.
