Quentin's personality was very obviously shaped by her family. She was never quite as passionate as Vanessa, or as serious as Nate, or as bright as Alec. Instead, she was a bit of everything, and way more quiet about it. Quen has no problem fading in to the background. Despite her outward appearance, she doesn't mind it when people don't notice her. She loves large groups of people, especially in crowded areas where she can find herself a quiet corner and just observe. Rarely will she strike up conversation with a stranger. Outside of her family and their large cirlce of friends, Quen can be painfully shy. It's not so much that she'd intimidated by other people. She just doesn't want to waste anyone elses time. If someone comes to her, however, she'll gladly be social. Just don't expect much feedback. When it comes to conversation, she'd much rather listen than talk.

A born peacemaker, she can almost always manage, in her quiet way, to dissolve arguments. With such a huge family, that was definately a plus growing up. She has no problem mediating if someone comes to her with a problem, and will happily hand out advice to anyone. While it may not be as deep or profound as other people's (see: Nessa), it's sensible enough. Her typically calm state of minds lets her see all sorts of problems very clearly, and from every angle. She'll rarely pick a side if it comes to a fight (unless Nate is involved). It's more in her nature to talk to be the objective third party.

For the most part, she prefers to keep things to herself, though not in the extreme that her brotehr does. The last thing she wants to do is be some sort of burden on her family. If she does have a problem, she'll usually mention it in passing to Hawthorne first. If he can't help her figure it out, she'll go to Nessa. Most of the time, she'd rather work things out on her own, though. Which is something she's very good at. Quentin spends a lot of time meditating, or playing her guitar, just thinking deep thoughts. One of her biggest goals in life is to stay at peace with herself. Because she works so hard at that, she has almost no temper. Some people's first impression is that she's cold and bland, but hat's not it at all. She's just...serene.

Even before she was breathing, Quentin Lordes was misunderstood. No ultrasound was ever able to truely tell her sex, but somewhere along the line her parents got it in to their head that she was going to be a boy. They had a the name picked out and everything. So, it was a pretty huge surprise when she was actually born a girl. Rather than going back to square one with the name thing, they kept her as Quentin, tacking on the Dahlia in hopes of making it sound more feminine.

That pretty much set the stage for the rest of her life. The second oldest, and the second girl, she was never alone. Quen loved her family, loved being around them and all up in their business. In her contradictory way, she also liked being alone. That could be slightly more different, though she at least had family that understood personal space. Most of the time. She followed along with a lot of Nessa's more hippie-ish beliefs. Although she didn't aspire to be exactly like her sister, she did come close in a lot of ways. When it came right down to it, though, she was always meant to carve her own path. It was awesome, that Ness was starting a family and everything, but that wasn't what Quentin wanted. That wasn't nearly interesting enough.

She graduated from high school, and put in a few years at a university before dropping out. It wasn't that she didn't like it, she just figured that there was more that she could do if she wasn't constricted by the bonds of formal education. She found herself a day job, one that she came to love. Kids were excellent, especially when she could send them home at the end of the day. Quen made a career out of teaching preschool, and spent her summers travelling whever she could afford to go.

Recently, she felt the need to get out of the country and 'find herself'. In August, she packed up, gave her family a complimentary call, and fled the States for bigger and brighter things. She backpacked all across Europe, spent a few weeks in Japan, and even made a brief, yet eventful, tour through India. When she could, she stayed in touch with her people at home, though she'd often get caught up in whatever adventure she was playing out. News of her sister's pregnancy, and vague mentions of other, stranger things, had her meandering home. She never did hurry much for anything.

Quentin is now back, and currently unaware of her powers, or of anyone's powers, really. She got her job back, working at one of the more 'alternative friendly' schools in the Charleston area, though she lives on the island.
