At seventeen, a life-changing event devastated Quinn and she withdrew from the world. Quinn's first scene in The Cendovian came two years later when her mother, Pari, introduced her to Victor. A playful dynamic arose between them which soon grew into a close friendship.
Victor helped Quinn realize how much she still had, not just what she has lost. In the process, his obssession with his own success morphed into a steady, resilient drive balanced by a concern for helping others. As they both learned from each other, Quinn longed to be with Victor but feared her desires would forever remain unspoken.
Meanwhile, Pari and Gerald worked with Richard to help their daughter while also advancing the pursuit of digital trascendence. As all are faced difficult choices, Quinn chose to become a brave pioneer for science at great personal risk but with hopes of rediscovering part of herself.
