==Personality==
==Personality==
Quinn was placed in an accelerated learning program as a young girl, and so has spent little time interacting with people her own age.  She finds social situations difficult to cope with - often working far better alone than with others - and comes across as shy, quiet and frequently nervous in disposition.  Once past her unsure exterior, Quinn is a loyal friend, though she frequently misses verbal and non-verbal cues to her friend's feelings.
Quinn lives in the world of theoretical possibilities.  She exists primarily inside her own mind and has the ability to analyse difficult problems, identify patterns and come up with logical explanations.  Almost everything is seen in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into.  She seeks clarity in almost all aspects of her life and is driven to build knowledge.  Her natural drive to turn theories into concrete understanding has resulted in a feeling of personal responsibility to solve problems and bring greater understanding to her field.
 
She does not like to lead or control people and is very tolerant and flexible in most situations, unless one of her firmly held beliefs has been violated or challenged - in which case she may take a very rigid stance. She is very shy when it comes to meeting new people and avoids social situations as much as she can; though when around people she knows well, or when discussing concepts she fully understands, she is considerably more open and confident.
 
Quinn has little understanding or value for decisions made on the basis of personal subjectivity or feelings. She strives constantly to achieve logical conclusions to problems and don't understand the importance or relevance of applying subjective emotional considerations to decisions.  For this reason, she is often not in tune with how people are feeling and is not well-equipped to meet the emotional needs of others.  She often fails to realise the value of attending to other people's feelings and has difficulty giving the warmth and support that is sometimes necessary in intimate relationships.

** Answers open to interpretation: A mathematician and engineer by trade, Quinn generally dislikes anything that does not have a straightforward answer (though she has no problem with complex methods leading to a 'straightforward' answer).
** Intuition: As an extension of the above, she finds people who operate on intuition and gut-feelings difficult to understand - any course of action she decides on is backed up by reasoned thought and she dislikes following orders that appear to be missing that basis.
** Telepaths: Perhaps as a result of her insecurities, Quinn places a high value on her privacy.  She feels distinctly uncomfortable around telepathic species due to their ability to violate that privacy, whether accidentally or deliberately.
