Quinn was born in Columbia Hills, Mars. From a very young age, it was obvious that she was an exceptionally bright child and intelligence testing showed that she had a phenomenally high IQ. The Reynolds family already had some experience with gifted children - her cousin Hayden was also remarkably intelligent - and so it was decided that she would be home schooled with private tutors in order to provide her with a tailored program of education that was best suited to her abilities. While there was a strong emphasis on mathematics and the sciences, her father, Stephen Reynolds, also ensured that she had access to the arts and Quinn quickly fell in love with music. Playing the piano quickly became one of her favourite hobbies and one she would take with her into adulthood. | Quinn was born in Columbia Hills, Mars.

Her childhood years were marked with several | Her childhood years were marked with several life-altering events. First, there was incident involving her mother that finally prompted the decision to place Sarah Reynolds in the care of psychiatric professionals - of which Quinn still bears the scars of today. The later months of her eighth year included a visit to Delta IV which left the girl with a lingering distaste of Deltan culture and a phobia of water. | ||
At the age of ten, Quinn undertook the final examinations required to graduate from High School and passed them all with flying colours. Under pressure from her grandparents, Susan and Martin, she applied to the Daystrom Institute of Technology to read a Bachelor of Science in Physics. She found life at the institute a struggle, having difficulty relating to her fellow classmates, all of whom were several years older than her and as a result became increasingly isolated during her time there. It was directly due to her solitude that she finished the degree a full year earlier than the norm. | At the age of ten, Quinn undertook the final examinations required to graduate from High School and passed them all with flying colours.

Arriving at the Starbase held several trials for Quinn; not least of which was adjusting to her new assignment in Intelligence. | Arriving at the Starbase held several trials for Quinn; not least of which was adjusting to her new assignment in Intelligence. Fortunately for her, the first series of events she was involved with didn't require the expertise of an Intel Officer and she was able to operate closer to her comfort zone. The biggest challenge she faced was dealing with her own turbulent emotions following her abrupt departure from the Independence and the sudden reappearance of Walter Brunsig, with whom she had lost contact with since the Triumphant; primarily because he had not returned any of her messages. After an initially frosty reception, the pair began to slowly rebuild their friendship. Quinn was also delighted to find that the person she considers her best friend, Lily Ventu, had also been reassigned to the station - though the fact that Lily was pregnant did come as something of a shock. | ||
