Quess is best known for being a bratty, self-absorbed teenager whose newtype abilities far outpaced her emotional maturity. Intelligent and charming on the surface, she's manipulative, selfish, and emotionally volatile—the kind of person who believes the world revolves around her and gets upset when it doesn't comply. Her volatile personality stems partly from her latent newtype nature; her unique brain structure seems to have amplified her worst impulses alongside her gifts.
She's obsessed with Amuro Ray and makes her feelings obvious, using her natural beauty and charm to try manipulating people into giving her what she wants. When those tactics fail, she crumbles. Hathaway Noa fell hard for her, though she never returned the feeling. Her allegiance has always been to herself alone—when Char took her under his wing to train her as a mobile suit pilot, she got swept up in him rather than developing any genuine loyalty to the Zeonic cause or the Earth Federation.
That said, Quess isn't a complete sociopath. She does care about others and can show genuine concern for their wellbeing, but her own emotional needs constantly override her better instincts. She acts impulsively without thinking things through, leaving a trail of poor decisions in her wake.
Her real talent lies in her newtype abilities, which awakened fully and eventually surpassed even Char Aznable's. She picked up MS funnel control and mobile armor piloting with remarkable speed. The problem? Those abilities developed too fast and too strong for her teenage mind to handle properly. She had the power but lacked the wisdom to use it responsibly.
