Appearance:

Quistis is actually pretty tall for a female, as she stands at 5'8" and only looking taller with the black boots that she wears. Her hair is long and blond in color. Her bangs are parted and are worn down the sides of her face, having her facial features be more brought out and making her look rather mature. The rest of her hair is pulled back into a bun of sorts that way it doesn't get in her way when doing other things. Her eyes are also this crystalline blue color that are filled with knowledge and compassion towards comrades and friends. Quistis also has rather full lips and a petite nose.

Quistis wears a lot of pink, though the shades vary. She wears a white and pink shirt underneath a mauve, sleeveless vest and has on long, light brown gloves that end halfway above her elbows. Quistis wears a long, pink skirt that she wears over khaki, tight pants. She wears a black belt around her waist that's lazily slung there. She's also got dark brown, knee high boots that elevate her height some.

Though... as a teacher, she has her own uniform that she must wear as well. Following the blue and white uniforms that the students have. Quistis has a light blue dress shirt and pleated skirt that she wears. She's also got a neck tie that she wears that's like the students' blue and white, plaid skirts, ties and pants. When teaching and reading out of the books, Quistis wears a pair of silver rimmed glasses.

Personality:

Quistis is fairly insecure and prone to depression, although she does have a calm persona. When she was residing back in Balamb, she had an unrequited crush on Squall, which she soon realizes is more of a sisterly love.

Despite previously being a SeeD member, Quistis is actually a really nice, caring person. In fact, she always had been. She's always willing to help anyone who's willing to have that help... or in some cases, even when that someone doesn't want help.

She is serious most of the time, not really making any jokes, though, she did seem to like laughing at Squall back at the Garden she previously lived at. However, when someone or something manages to make Quistis tick, she can get rather violent.

Original World: Balamb Garden
Current Residing World: Destiny Islands
History/Background:

Quistis was an orphan at the end of the Sorceress War, growing up in Edea's Orphanage with Zell, Selphie, Irvine, Seifer, Squall and Ellone. She really admired Edea Kramer. She was nicknamed 'Quisty' by her friends and was considered the 'bossy' one of the bunch. When Ellone left she attempted to take her place in being Squall's 'big sister', always being there to break him and Seifer up when they fought.

Eventually she was adopted but, due to unknown circumstances that resulted in her adoption 'not working out', she was entered into Balamb Garden at the age of 10 and, at the age of 15, she became one of the youngest students to become a SeeD and stayed on to become an Instructor, receiving her license at age 17. When she had entered the Garden she first noticed Seifer and Squall, as the two were always fighting. Even when she became an Instructor she couldn't stop thinking about Squall, confusing her childhood feelings as a 'big sister' for love. She hid her feelings though, even more so when she became his Instructor.

During her time as a student Quistis became close friends with Xu, another Garden student, and together they climbed the ranks of Balamb Garden's Card Club with Quistis eventually becoming the card master 'King'; the highest ranked and skilled member in the club, at age 14.

Three years later Quistis had become something of an idol to some of the students. So much that they had even created a fan club around her, naming themselves 'Trepies', they respected and idolized everything that she did and was also slightly protective of her. Quistis herself took their actions in stride and ignored them for the most part, concentrating only on her job as Instructor of her class. Two students she kept specific attention on were Squall and Seifer, particularly Squall. One due to her hidden feelings towards him and the other due to his misconduct.

When the two injured each other in a training match Quistis was called to personally retrieve Squall, who had been admitted to the Infirmary. Due to the mishap she was aware that Squall had become behind in his prerequisite tests for his field exam and went out of her way to assist him in passing. During the exam she went to his aid again, ensuring that the transport ship stayed and fending off the X-ATM092 while her student boarded.

Despite these admirable actions, during the inauguration ball, she received a letter of dismissal. Informed that she had failed as an instructor and her Instructor License was revoked as of midnight that night, she attempted to confide her feelings to Squall but only received a cold demeanor in return.

Acting now as a SeeD Quistis was called to track and contain Seifer when he broke out of the disciplinary room. Following him to Timber she called for assistance from Squall's team, who was also in Timber, as Seifer held the Galbadian President Vinzer Deling hostage in the TV Station. When Seifer disappears, presumed captured, she stays with Squall's team, lying low for a while before they are given word that it was clear to leave town. When Zone hands out the train tickets for their route out of town he hands his ticket to Quistis. She vowed that she would repay him one day, Rinoa offering that he liked naughty magazines. In Timber Forest Quistis experiences the 'dreams' of Laguna that the others were having.

Arriving at Galbadia Garden Quistis offered her help in talking to Headmaster Martine. Later she, along with the rest of Squall's group and a Galbadian SeeD known as Irvine were selected to participate in a mission to assassinate the Galbadian Ambassador Sorceress Edea.

Irvine Kinneas is assigned to help them achieve this. With Squall as their leader the group takes a train to Deling City to meet with their contact, General Caraway. Caraway tells the SeeDs of his plan to assassinate the sorceress using two teams; one to trap her under the gateway and the other to snipe her from affair. Squall elects Quistis to be the leader of the gateway team. When the briefing finished Quistis was momentarily diverted by Rinoa, who had another plan to stop the sorceress, but Quistis berated her; thinking that Rinoa's plan was only contrived to oppose her father's plan, and walked off to her position. As the ceremony begins however Quistis begins to feel guilty over what she said to Rinoa, heading back, with her group in tow, to apologize she instead gets locked inside Caraway Mansion. However, after discovering a secret door to the sewers, they manage to make it back to their position in time to trap the Sorceress.

Unfortunately the Sorceress, with Seifer by her side, proved stronger than anticipated and both teams were captured and imprisoned in D-District Prison. Quistis, Zell, Rinoa and Selphie were imprisoned together, while Squall was imprisoned separately without their knowledge. Using Zell's knowledge of the prison layout they escaped, finding Squall and Irvine in the process.
In retaliation for the attack on Sorceress Edea Galbadia had targeted Balamb and Trabia Gardens for missile attack. Splitting into two groups; Squall's group and Selphie's group, the escapees managed to save Balamb Garden from destruction and finally reunite in Fisherman's Horizon.

Her teaching license re-instated and newly promoted to oversee the care of the students with Dr. Kadowaki Quistis served, along with Xu, as Squall's assistant while on board the mobile Balamb Garden and, as his first command as the new 'Commander', Squall liberated Balamb from Galbadian occupation. The next order was then to head to Trabia Garden, Selphie's original Garden. Squall offered the Trabia students Balamb Garden's support and, while waiting for Selphie to return and due to a segment in Rinoa's conversation, the SeeD remember their past together in the orphanage. It is during this that Quistis realizes that her feelings for Squall were not that of love but of 'sisterly caring' and voices her revelations out loud. Decisions were made and the Garden next embarked to the old orphanage, but it was intercepted by similarly mobile Galbadia Garden. The Battle of the Gardens ensues, ending in Sorceress Edea's defeat and Rinoa becoming comatose.

Intensely concerned over Rinoa's state Squall nonetheless carries on with the mission, this time the search for Ellone by the behest of Edea Kramer who was now free from the tyrannical grip of an evil sorceress from the future named Ultimecia. Learning from the White SeeD that Ellone was now in Esthar, Squall opted to go alone, carrying Rinoa on his back, but Quistis and his friends followed him and together they entered Esthar and from there to the Esthar space station. It was then discovered that Ultimecia had taken control of Rinoa and used her to free Sorceress Adel from her space-bound tomb. The station is evacuated as the Lunar Cry begins, but Squall instead goes after a re-awakened and free Rinoa as she is left in space. Coming across an abandoned spaceship called Ragnarok the couple use it to return to the planet. Here Squall, with his friends' urgings, declares his intentions to protect the new Sorceress Rinoa and defends her from Esthar, and declaring himself her Knight. They return to Esthar by request of Laguna to stop Ultimecia once and for all.

Using the Ragnarok they invade the Lunatic Pandora and fight through Seifer and Adel. Using Ellone's time powers, they were able to start a Time Compression, and enter Ultimecia Castle in the future, where Ultimecia awaited. Upon Ultimecia's demise the group was momentarily trapped in Time but, due to their belief and reliance on each other, they managed to return to their time safely.

Later, as Balamb Garden was apparently destroyed somehow, Quistis entered through time compression and ended up on Destiny Islands. She reclaims her position as an instructor, but only at a school and teaching basic learning material as opposed to her normal combat skills classes that she used to teach back in her home Garden.
