Some describe Quinn as eccentric; not overly excitable but propelled by a strangely inherent aura of being off-kilter. She holds a peculiar sense of curiosity and at times can seem perplexed or entranced by the regular, mundane activities from day to day life. It is as if the simplest moments hold a strong fascination with her. That inquisitive nature only serves to reinforce her odd persona. Quinn is completely unabashed when it comes to directly indulging her curiosity. She readily does what she wants and when she wants for the sake of her satisfaction and/or entertainment. In this way, she appears oblivious to cultural norms and the accepted way people are expected to behave, leading to things like a lack of manners, inappropriate comments, or even crowding another individual’s personal space.
Others describe her as being an enigmatic presence, rarely speaking about herself. When not momentarily intrigued and engaged by something or someone, she comes off as sullen and reserved. This is a rare occurrence when in the company of other people though and is a behaviour that is mostly observed from afar when she is alone. In general, her emotions appear inconsistent with what might be expected from a particular situation. For example, instead of becoming sad, angry, or distraught over something, she maintains a calm, ethereal carefree attitude.
While her actions can be construed by others as be rude, her otherwise innocent nature imparts a child-like naivety. She will more often than not misinterpret things said to her in an oblivious fashion, taking things too literally. She has no concept of sarcasm and has a particularly difficult time with expressions of speech and modern slang. This is another reason why she behaves in unexpected ways, and definitely a major source of her oddball reputation.

» MEMORIES, SUPPOSED TO FADERELATIVES
H. Omisché (Father, status unknown)
Persephone Omisché (Mother)
HISTORY Quinn was born the only child to a young couple in Lille, France. However, the French city would not be her home for long. Even as a child, Quinn’s family moved around constantly. Over the first decade and a half of her life, she would live in places as diverse as London to Romania to Egypt to Kenya. These moves were necessitated by her mother’s humanitarian efforts. She was involved in countless endeavours and missions across the world, with the sole motivation of helping those who needed it the most.
Quinn’s father however was not nearly as honourable a person as his wife, and it would tear the family apart. Through intensifying verbal and physical abuse the marriage was already on the verge of crumbling. But in the end, while Quinn was still a little girl, her father was convicted of fraud and forgery, having scammed a powerful bank executive for tens of thousands of credits. He was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment. Taking her daughter, Quinn’s mother took the opportunity to run and did not look back. Having a single parent was difficult for Quinn though, especially one so preoccupied in the plight of absolute strangers. Her interaction with her mother consisted mostly of the time she spent being home schooled, and beyond that, despite how caring her mother was, Quinn grew up with little direction. Sometimes she would even miss her father, but as she grew older she would tell herself that she really had no idea what sort of man he was, and that perhaps that was a good thing. Without friends and no permanent home, Quinn developed into a strange young woman, with inept social skills.
As a teenager, Quinn was a witness to great shifts in the world’s powers that would once again begin a new chapter of world history. With Britannia’s departure from the United Federation of Nations and the re-taking of Japan, the re-named Area 11 was once again thrown into turmoil under the boiling stress of Britannian occupation and the threat of another violent rebellion from the newest incarnation of the Black Knights. Quinn would look at her mother, and knew that the tragedy of the Elevens called to her.
Indeed it was not long before it was time to move again. Quinn’s mother had accepted a relief work position in the ghettos of Area 11. It would likely be the family’s last move. Soon after arriving in Area 11, Quinn’s mother grew very ill, eventually needing to be confined to her bed. Slowing down enough for the first time, Quinn’s mother saw her daughter clearly and realized all the experiences denied to her. Experiences denied because of her wish to care for everyone but her own daughter. She understood that Quinn just wanted to call somewhere her home and live a normal life.
Quinn was enrolled at Ashford Academy and amidst the constant threat of war, given the opportunity to meet people and explore a life she never had a chance at. The transition would not be easy though. Having lived her entire life without any meaningful contact with other children, Quinn stood out in nearly every way. Her odd behaviour and strange comments have earned her a reputation for being the strange kid at school. Some rumours go as far as to suggest that she is delusional or even some kind of occult witch. Perhaps just as strange, none of these rumours appear to bother Quinn and she remains pleasant and friendly to everyone in her own way.
