Susie Cochrane

Susie Cochrane is first encountered drinking in Boring Springs Saloon. To gain her as one of your pardner choices you need to visit the Boring Springs Boneyard and read the tombstones on the far right, revealing her name (and the names of her ex-kin). After asking her about it, you can convince her to join after completing her quest to go to the Cochrane Ranch and retrieve her rifle.

Susie is good at building things, and tanning leather. She levels up only by killing the various cow-themed enemies, although not all fights count.

Personality and Background
Susie's family used to run a cattle ranch Before the Cows Came Home. There was a raid and her father was killed by Hellcows. Susie and her mother rebuilt, raising pigs instead of cattle, but Hellcows smelled out the ranch and destroyed it, setting afire from the root celler. Every member of the family was killed except for Susie. She says she watched a family member named "Tim" (which can be presumed to be her husband Timothy, based on the inscription of the gravestones in Boring Springs Boneyard) trampled right in front of her.

Susie vows revenge against the Hellcows and makes a notch in the stock of her rifle every time she kills one.
