Backstory

Quark grew up with both of her parents, Monty and Brie, though she normally only saw one of them at a time unless it was a holiday. She learned a lot about what they did for work when she was young, even if she didn't understand it. Her dad, Monty, was a cognitive scientist, and her mom, Brie, was a doctor. She took great interest in both fields growing up, and loved telling others her age how amazing her parents were! She listened intently when her parents came home with stories, and would often retell the most interesting ones to her friends. While she was normally only able to see one parent at a time due to work, she became close to both of her parents. Quark liked trying to make them neat little things for birthdays and holidays.

As she grew older, Quark talked her parents into letting her go with them to work. She watched her mom talk with and treat patients, save lives, and even got to learn about some of the medical equipment she uses. While she found all of it interesting, Quark discovered she loved her dad's job even more, and decided she wanted to be a scientist when she was old enough. Quark began wondering how the mind works, and quickly got into watching others as they went on about their day. She'd often bring a puzzle book to the local park or coffee shop and see how everyone interacts with each other as she worked on her puzzles. Once she was old enough, Quark began working with Monty at Queso Labs. The two work well together, and love to update Brie on anything interesting that they find. She likes to still go to the hospital and watch her mom work when it's not busy.

While hanging out with her friend, Poppy, Quark noticed that the laptop she loved taking notes with went missing. After multiple questions, she found out that Poppy stole it, and after a lot of convincing, she found out why Poppy steals things. She decided to help her friend out by buying things for Poppy. She didn't know that Poppy felt the way she did, so Quark did her best to curb the stealing where she could. While she may be interested in learning more about why Poppy decided to go the thieving route, she's mostly glad it stopped Poppy from stealing from her again.
