Who is the three-legged girl in Sons of the Forest
A three-legged girl that you will often meet during the passage of the game is Virginia Puffton. There is no specific information about this person, but if you get far enough into the story, you will find her access card, which will be labeled as “VIP Card”. Most likely she was an important person on this island, but after an incident she underwent a mutation.
The girl is not dangerous. On the contrary, at first she will avoid you in every possible way. Players can kill her, but there’s no point. After death, she does not throw away loot and her body cannot even be butchered, unlike the local natives.

How to Make a Virginia Satellite
If you don’t attack the girl, she will start visiting your camp more often. Closer to winter, Virginia will no longer be afraid of you and will come closer and closer. Every time you see her, hide your weapon. This will let her know that you don’t want to hurt her.
When you first see Virginia, remove all weapons from your hands (key “G”) and try not to scare her with a cannibal’s severed limbs. Even if you damaged her, but did not kill her, the girl will visit your camp later. She begins to watch from a safe distance, then moves closer. After 5-10 days she will not be afraid of the player anymore.

You just have to wait for it to get close enough. At this point, an interact button will appear. Hold it to give the girl a weapon.

We also recommend attaching one of the three GPS beacons found in the story to Virginia. You can pre-select which marker to display on your radar. To do this, open the inventory, select a beacon and assign a marker to it. From this moment on, you have the right to track the movement of the girl on the map.
From weapons, you can give the woman any pistol (9×18) and shotgun. At the same time, there is no need to share cartridges – Virginia herself explores the island and finds the necessary ammunition.

You can’t give her orders. She will often stay close to your camp and fend off enemies with the weapons you gave her.
