Hmm, thinking of it, my Steam Deck probably needs a name too. Let’s see…

My phones keep the same name, Shirli, since they’ve had data continuity since the Obama years.

Likewise my tablets are Tabitha.

My laptop, meanwhile, is named Lenore as a pun on Lenovo. She’s a Thinkpad that can fold into a drawing tablet!

#QuinnLore

I name my headphones after expressions of gratitude. Danke, De Nada, Merci, and Beaucoup. #QuinnLore

Quinn had a vibrant red aether up until Shadowbringers. The light poisoning ripped all the color from it, so now it's a very faint pink or dull white. #QuinnLore

It's between Haurchefant's death and Vanaspati. Both events put Quinn in despair and broke her.

Vanaspati was bad. Were it not for the small sliver of hope in her and her love for Aymeric, she would have turned into a blasphemy while she watched her birthplace burn.

#QuinnLore

Quinn looks at Livingway like "You sure are speaking words and I should take you seriously...but you are just. so. damn. cute."

Very distracted by the fluff. #QuinnLore

Quinn trusts Lucia with her life now, but their relationship didn't start off as sweet as it is now. She was very intimidated by her and always feels like she's being watched by Aym's second-in-command. Over the years, they've grown to have a mutual respect for one another. #QuinnLore

I actually need to replay stormblood because as far as I get the vibes, it's pure neutrality--Quinn doesn't have much to say about Hien other than she hopes he grows into the leader Doma needs. Hien sees her as a strong ally, but nothing much past that. #QuinnLore

Quinn and Krile have a professional relationship as both being scions; they don't hang out much otherwise. Not a ton in common aside from sharing the Echo, but Krile thinks highly of Quinn while Quinn sees Krile as a very intelligent woman. Nothing but mutual respect! #QuinnLore

Artoirel is like this older-brother figure to Quinn. He sorta has the same relationship with her as he does Aymeric- professional and friendly, and he holds her in high regard for all she's done. He's willing to support her in most of her endeavors, even if he's equally exasperated. #QuinnLore

Quinn is protective of Ryne in the same way Thancred is and sees Ryne like a daughter in a way...which has its ups and downs. But she is very supportive of her and often tasks Feo Ul with giving her messages of encouragement. Quinn hopes to see Ryne grow into the best version of herself #QuinnLore

Quinn fears Tataru in a sense that "that girl has some powers and connections that make me realize I don't wanna be on her bad side." But she admires how business savvy she is and fully believes the Lalafell could out-sell her own mother. #QuinnLore

THESE TWO ARE SO......AUGH. Fuck buddies to lovers to estranged exes to *waves hands at Shadowbringers* whatever that was to friends, Thancred and Quinn have gone through it. If anything, he is her closest confidant even if she wouldn't admit it to anyone. #QuinnLore

When they first met, G'raha and Quinn hit it off as fast friends, but his actions on the First left her in a state of neutrality at best, skeptic of him at worst. She still is friendly to him, but after what she went through in SHB it's hard to fully trust him. #QuinnLore

Quinn was very close to Minfilia, almost like sisters. They shared their worries, their dreams, and all in-between once Quinn came around to her (she was certainly skeptical at first). Minfilia was the first to learn of Quinn's actual origins, a secret she took to the grave. #QuinnLore

Xander has a gravely/rugged english accent, think Clive Rosfield as an example.

Quinn has a Southern Wales accent. Like Nia from Xenoblade.

#XanderLore #QuinnLore

Xander would definitely be a hockey guy, Quinn either would do Ice skating or Ski Jumping

#XanderLore #QuinnLore

While Quinn wasn't at the battle of Carteneau nor in Eorzea at the time, she did have a vivid dream of what happened there which shook her to her core. That was the same night she got an explicit call from Hydaelyn. #QuinnLore

Mulrhad Varria: a soft-spoken Alchemist who basically lives at The Great Work. Once obsessed with his work to the point of not seeing his family for months on end, he is now retired and seeks to reconcile his relationship with his daughter. #QuinnLore .

Adelainne Varria: A seamstress from Gridania who set forth to Thavnair to compete in their textiles market, having enough talent to create her own business empire within the country at the cost of her daughter's love and respect. She's invasive, controlling, and just....🫠 #QuinnLore

Quinn took Aymeric's name without question. She had already shed her birth surname, so " Rin'ria " didn't mean much to her anyway (about as much as " Varria " meant to her).

She uses it proudly. #QuinnLore

finally got around to adjusting Ardbert to how he looks in Quinn's lore. Much closer to being a shard of Eos. #QuinnLore

Going no-contact with your parents and then while pregnant receiving baby clothes in the mail not because you told your mother you were expecting, but she writes

"Your husband is so handsome I just know you're bound to have a little surprise eventually!"

#QuinnLore

After a year at sea, a young adventurer sets off on her journey to find an answer to her question:

What does it mean to live? To have a home?

#QuinnLore

Quinn looking back at the port town with anger in her eyes as she readies to board a ship.

On the eve of her 22nd nameday, Quinnelainne Varria cast aside her family, life, and identity in hopes of becoming an adventurer in Eorzea. That day, she became 'Quinn Rin'ria' and set off for Limsa Lominsa before dawn. She left no note to parents. #QuinnLore

note for people following #QuinnLore RE my wolmericweek day 2 submission:

Quinn was there also for Aymeric after the events of the Vault, but she was too far gone to really be focused on Aymeric at the time. We're talking she's sitting in his hospital room drunk off her ass in silence.

Aymeric and Quinn spend their evenings together mostly in the drawing room, where Quinn practices the piano and Aymeric reads a good book over tea. It's very peaceful and they often pass warm glances at the other, happy to just share the same space. #QuinnLore
