!!The Settlers
[[folder:General]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fallout76settlers_2.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NoshirDalal, Creator/XanderMobus, Chris Parson, Josh Robert Thompson (male); Creator/BrittBaron, Kara Kovacich Stewart, Debi Mae West, Creator/FrydaWolff (female)
A group of hard-working and industrious survivors hailing from parts of Pennsylvania. After hearing Appalachia offer some refuge from the wasteland, they settled in the region and establishing their settlement at Spruce Knob, which they dubbed Foundation as of ''Wastelanders''.
----
* ActionSurvivor: Even more so than the Responders; unlike them, this group largely lacks formal training but still manages to eke out a living.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Although they're not antagonistic by default and will generally be personable to you, they're dangerous when pissed off.
* TheExile: Their community in Pennsylvania couldn't provide for many of them and the long journey to Appallachia was a way to reduce their population while offering a chance for others to live.
* {{Foil}}: A bunch of hard working settlers compared to the ruthless Raiders at the Crater. They're also immigrants compared to the Crater locals.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The Settlers from the Pitt recognize that the city's immense toxicity overwhelms any positives that might be had by staying.

[[folder:Paige]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paige_foundation_settlers_fallout_76.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BeauBillingslea
Leader of the Settlers, although he doesn't see it that way. Found inside Founder's Hall, the underground headquarters for the Settlers at Foundation.
----
* ConspiracyTheorist: Paige is skeptical of the innoculation needed to prevent the Scorched Plague and needs to be persuaded by his doctor, Aubrey.
* EasilyForgiven: Much like Meg, he doesn't hold a grudge against you if you side with Crater over Foundation for the Vault 79 raid. In fact, unlike Meg, he doesn't even passive aggressively hang your decision over your head in future dialogue.
* InvadingRefugees: A very-very mild example. When they're first introduced, if they identify as being from Vault 76, Paige says that they might want to kick the Settlers out for coming into their homeland. He then says "tough, we're here to stay."
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Not unreasonably assumes the Scorched are just more "burn victims" like ghouls.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
** Played with as while he is willing to ally with you, he engages in a number of microaggressions with the Vault Dweller, suspecting they want to try to kick the Settlers out and being suspicious of their offer to vaccinate them against the Scorched.
** He'll listen to your proposals about [[spoiler:breaking into Vault 79]] and will come onboard when you provide evidence it could work - and a good argument for why Foundation should get involved.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ward_foundation_settlers_fallout_76.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RayChase
Day to day operations director for the Settlers from his home near the front gate.
----
* ReformedCriminal: He used to be a raider in his youth, but had a change of heart and became a much nicer person.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Some of his daily quests give off this vibe, with Ward claiming that Foundation actually never had any shortage of the supposed "vital equipment" brought back by the Resident to begin with, it's their willingness to help out of the goodness of their heart that matters.

[[folder:Penelope Hornwright]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/penelope_hornwright.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Judy Alice Lee
Surviving member of the Hornwright family and acting CEO of Hornwright Industrial. Becomes a member of the Settlers' Vault 79 raiding team with providing them access to the Hornwright A.I. drilling machine, the Motherlode.
----
* BadassBookworm: She ''can'' actually fight pretty well on the few occasions where she would accompany the Resident on specific quests, though she dislikes direct combat due to [[ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder being an engineer rather than a soldier]], and will try to excuse herself from the Vault 79 raid for this reason.
* HeroicSacrifice: How she became a ghoul. At one point some twenty years prior to the events of the game, Penny bargained with the residents of an unnamed Vault to have them adopt her daughter in exchange for her fixing their malfunctioning door, knowing full well that she would be stuck outside and exposed to radiation.
* KindheartedCatLover: She has a pet cat named Tutti Frutti that she adopted after moving to Foundation.
* NerdGlasses: She's always seen wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, which somehow stays on even though she no longer has a nose or ears as a ghoul.
* TheSmartGal: Penny puts her doctorate to good use by serving as the resident tech and robotics expert of the Foundation crew should the player side with them in breaching Vault 79.
* SweetTooth: She loves ice cream. According to several terminal entries, she has been working with Jen to scavenge for components to build an ice cream machine, and her cat is even named [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutti_frutti Tutti Frutti]] to boot.

A spy for the People's Liberation Army found in their underground base, The Deep, near the Whitespring Bunker, having been turned into a (non-Feral) Ghoul by radiation with her fellow Chinese operatives. Also Jen's mother she presumed dead with her father. Her stealth suit is needed to help get into Vault 79.
----
* DefectorFromDecadence: Originally a loyal operative, she deserted the PLA and fled into the Wasteland after the Great War, having been disillusioned by the realization that both China and America had manipulated and lied to their respective populations.
* ForcedIntoEvil / MandatoryUnretirement: Unwillingly forced back into the PLA after being tracked down by a still-loyal comrade.
* MommyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: The surviving remnant of the PLA threatened to kill her and her family if she didn't return to the fold.
* TheAtoner: If the player makes the right choices during dialogue, Mochou can be convinced to return to Foundation with Jen after the Vault 79 raid if the Settlers were sided with to start a new life with her daughter once her stealth suit is destroyed to prevent being tracked down by Mochou's superiors in the PLA.

->'''Voiced by:''' Wes Johnson
A trio of reprogrammed Responder Protectrons that sell food, ammo, and general goods at Foundation.
----
* BunnyEarsLawyer: All three Sunnys are identical, which includes being convinced that each one is the "real" Sunny, and that the other two are shoddy knockoffs, and will respond favorably to the Resident playing favorites. This in no way impedes their abilities as merchants.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted in more ways than one. In addition to Foundation's three Protectron vendors all being named Sunny, ''Steel Dawn'' introduced a pet cat roaming Foundation's supply room, also named Sunny.
