—Ann Stephenson |
Ann Stephenson[1] is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption. She plays a part in the Stranger side-mission "Who Are You to Judge?".
History[]
Background[]
Ann has some shadows of Annie Stoakes, Bonnie MacFarlane, and Sadie Adler in her appearance and personality. Like Bonnie, she clearly enjoys her sardonic sense of humor, coupled with relentless teasing. She also appears to be a "headstrong woman working in a man's world," as she is both armed and wearing more masculine clothes.
It is implied that she may be a rustler, as she the player encounters her in Tumbleweed, a notorious haven for outlaws, and Ann herself claims to have "taken" Lucy from Jeb Blankenship. She also implies her late boyfriend was an outlaw since he was killed by a lawman.
Events of Red Dead Redemption[]
Marston will find her in the decrepit stables near Tumbleweed, grooming a horse. He will immediately assume she is Jeb's "love" whom he has been sent to retrieve. Ann corrects him by revealing that Jeb's love, Lucy, is, in fact, the horse by which she's standing. She frequently expresses her amusement at Marston's confusion, much to his chagrin.
Upon returning Lucy to Jeb, she remains around Rathskeller Fork.
Trivia[]
- After the completion of "Who Are You to Judge?", she will open fire on the player if they try to steal Lucy.
- She can be killed after the stranger mission is completed, though doing so will be seen as murder.
- She can occasionally be seen with a prostitute in the Rathskeller Fork saloon, implying she may be homosexual, though this may be only a bug in the game.
- She appears to be familiar with zoophilia, telling John that her father kept goats. This explains why she has no issue returning Lucy to Jeb.
- After the mission is completed, she will enter the room next to the Rathskeller Fork safehouse and sit down on the bed. She will do nothing else unless assaulted.
