Personality

Quark is patient, and is willing to wait long hours to see the results of something. She also thinks with logic over emotions, which helps her solve interesting puzzles, and figure out how a solution is reached when she gets something wrong. Quark absolutely loves solving puzzles and problems, and can often be found solving some kind of problem in her free time. Be it Sudoku or helping someone in need. She's amazing at walking someone though things, and has been told she'd make a great teacher. She likes explaining her logic to others to try and help them on how to solve a puzzle as well.

Quark's overconfidence can cause her to come off as a know-it-all to others, especially when she boasts about how she was the first one to solve something. When she speaks, she's normally blunt and to the point, which can turn some others away from her. It's something she's trying to get better at.

Appearance

Quark is a short mouse at 4'11ft and a slim body. She has a tear on her left ear

• I couldn't decide between a normal tail or a tufted tail, so feel free to choose whichever

Backstory

Quark grew up in a large home on Asira with her parents, Monty and Brie, though due to their jobs she'd normally only see one of them at a time. It's why she loved the holidays. They'd both normally be home so they could all spend time together! She learned a lot about what they did for work when she was young, even if she didn't understand what they did at the time. Her dad, Monty, was a cognitive scientist who loved studying the mind! Quark liked hearing about the things he learned. Her mom, Brie, was a doctor, and came home with happy stories to tell Quark.

The young mouse took great interest in both of her parents' jobs growing up, and she 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 began wondering how the mind works. She quickly got into watching others as they went about on their day. As a teenager, Quark would often watch her classmates, or bring a puzzle book to the local park or coffee shop and see how everyone interacted with each other as she worked on her puzzles. She was excited for the day she started to go off on her own, and wondered what exactly she wanted to do.

Quark would often daydream about working with her father, or teaching in a school. She loved the idea of being a teacher and watching how young minds interact with the world around them. Quark was leaning toward being a teacher until an incident happened at her favorite lake. Brie had taken her up to the lake one summer, and Quark had been getting along with the other teens that were swimming until someone decided it'd be fun to dunk everyone. Quark tried swimming away, only to be dunked deeper than she was meant to be. Her tail got caught on something as she tried swimming away. Panicking, Quark finally got help by her friend Pamo that was there. Shaking and scared, Quark quickly ran as soon as her feet touched the bottom, and dashed out of the water, only to fall over after tripping. Her ear got sliced by a sharp rock, and she was trying to hold back tears while she ran to her mom. After getting patched up, Quark decided on the way home that she'd much rather work with her father instead of being a teacher. The incident reminded her that even young kids can be cruel, even if they don't mean it.

Quark didn't go back to that lake, and she thought of the tear in her ear as a reminder to never go swimming again. She was upset that it didn't heal correctly, and it took some time before it stopped getting to her. Once she was old enough, Quark quickly started working with Monty at Queso Labs. She learned that she worked well with him, and she loved coming home to tell her mom anything interesting that she found out. Quark still likes to go to the hospital from time to time and watch her mom work when she's allowed to.

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

Present Day

Quark is happily working at Queso Labs with her dad.
