In Team Fortress 2, Scout's girlfriend is Miss Pauling.
The Relationship Between Scout and Miss Pauling
Scout, known for being the fastest, most agile, and maneuverable mercenary among the nine playable classes in Team Fortress 2, harbors a deep affection for Miss Pauling. His personality often leans towards being cocky and a self-proclaimed "ladies' man," a sentiment humorously echoed in the reference that he sees himself as "God's gift to women."
Their relationship is a notable aspect of the game's lore, particularly highlighted in the Meet the Team shorts and the Team Fortress 2 comic series. Valve, the developers of Team Fortress 2, have consistently acknowledged and developed this dynamic, making it a beloved part of the game's narrative.
Who is Miss Pauling?
Miss Pauling serves as the highly competent and often stressed assistant to the Administrator, the unseen leader of the RED and BLU teams. She is responsible for relaying missions and cleaning up the various, often chaotic, messes left by the mercenaries. Despite Scout's persistent attempts to win her affection, Miss Pauling generally maintains a professional, albeit exasperated, demeanor towards him. However, their interactions over time reveal a complex relationship with moments that suggest a deeper connection beyond simple infatuation.
