Virginia canspawn at random, any time. We had good luck meeting her on our very first day on the beach, however, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for the bathing suit-clad mutant. She’s fairly easy to spot as she’ll follow you and sometimes start dancing with her three arms and legs.
If you try to approach her she will get scared and run away, so make sure you follow the steps above to befriend her. If you have already attacked Virginia and are worried that she might not come back, you can relax. As long as she’s still alive, Virginia should eventually return to try again.
Once you reach the point of friendship where you have the prompt to give her items, make sure you give her aGPS Locatoras this will allow you to follow her whereabouts on the map afterwards. You’ll also receive an achivement for doing so, aptly called ‘Every Move You Make’.
