Personality:

CUNNING. Quill is an intelligent and resourceful woman. As a leader in a resistance movement, Quill has an incredibly sharp mind, capable of battle strategies, clever deceptions and having to think on her feet. This also has allowed her to (mostly seamlessly) blend in on Earth. Whilst viewed as a pain, with her methods as a teacher a little more unorthodox, Quill was very good at keeping her head down and living her new life without drawing attention to herself. When things started to spiral she had to be able to quickly think up a response to it, something that required a little more ingenuity in thought given that she was no longer able to use a weapon. Quill has been able to keep herself and those under her protection (mostly) safe during dark and troubling times.

BRAVE. Quill does not back down. As an experienced soldier, Quill knows the value in running from a fight, rather than engaging in a losing situation, using tactics to her advantage. She is not afraid to fight, or even to die. Though tasked with the protection of others, Quill puts herself in the line of fire in order to keep them safe, not backing down from a fight and doing so with strength in her heart. It would be wrong to say that she is not afraid, Quill knows the value of fear in war, but she has learned to use that fear as a balance and a strength rather than cowering from a situation in fear.

RUTHLESS. Quill is also incredibly bitter about much of what has happened in her life. Given that she is the last of her species and has endured great pain, making her incredibly angry, Quill expresses it through her sarcasm and cruel remarks. Quill is a survivor, someone that will make the difficult choices to save herself or someone else even if it means someone else has to die. When the Shadow Kin first appears on Earth she has no trouble sacrificing the lives of a few humans in order to destroy the Shadow Kin, the people that killed her entire species. As a soldier, Quill is able to tactically assess a situation for the best terms of survival (her justification) and she expects that one day she will die in battle.

SELFISH. With strong self-preservation instincts, particularly being the last of her species, Quill would prefer to keep her head down and live out her life as quietly as possible. Though life makes this difficult it doesn't stop Quill's base desire to survive even at the cost of those around her. With little care for the people around her, she is very okay with letting them die as long as it keeps her alive, even pushing people into known death so that she is spared. Her selfishness doesn't just come into play in terms of survival. Quill is willing to gain information but rarely ever shares it and though she has been forced to help she makes it known that it is begrudgingly, frequently complaining about the situation that she has been placed in or what is asked of her.

RUDE. Quill gives herself a very rude appearance with her sarcastic wit and judgement of others. Those around her frequently say that she is the worst person that they have known and even Quill herself says that nobody likes her. Typically, Quill uses her attitude as a barrier to keep people away -- she openly questions others, asking or stating hurtful facts and, generally, whatever comes to mind. Quill is very unapologetic about what she says or does and appears to not care about what people think about her. Given that she doesn't trust or feel that she can rely on anyone else she is quick to brush them off and keeps her walls very high.

Suitability:

As much as Quill might complain and not want to be involved in anything there will be two things that motivated her: (1) she needs to find a way back to her world, to her own Earth to serve as a protector for the prince she hates, (2) she's curious and if there are alien (or supernatural) threats she wouldn't be able to stop herself getting involved even if she'd like to. She might be okay with sacrificing people but she has very strong survival instincts and any potential threat to her existence or the quiet life she's attempting needs stopping before it gets worse.

Powers/Abilities:

ALIEN. A member of the Quill race she is genetically different from a human. Though her appearance has been modified so that she looks human, giving her human form to blend in on Earth, biologically she is still a Quill. What this means is that her strength and reflexes are greater than a human's, being in peak Quill condition from her years as a soldier, with possibly heightened senses. She is very quick and dexterous, almost cat-like in some of her movements and scarily accurate in her use of weaponry, able to hit targets without even looking at them. Though she has a human form she hasn't been turned human, with her brain and internal organs still that of a Quill -- her form is just a mask (one that she wears well).
COMBAT. As a trained soldier Quill is incredibly competent in battle. She has a strategic mind, is skilled in both hand-to-hand combat and with the use of various weapons (guns and melee) and has been seen, even when heavily pregnant, to be able to hold her own against multiple combatants. She is also familiar in using and likely constructing bombs.
SCIENCE. Posing as a physics teacher at Coal Hill Academy Quill was able to "teach" her students complex material, writing equations on the board from memory, knowing of more complicated physics and mathematics than what humanity had yet understood. She was also able to determine what had happened to April using her scanner, was knowledgeable enough with artron energy and had built two EMF readers. Quill has also been able to repair a Dalek, getting its motion systems back online though refusing to fix its weaponry. The fact that she refused to shows that she could have done, showing knowledge in engineering as well as physics (including alien engineering and advanced space-time knowledge). She is also knowledgeable in chemistry, able to analyse mysterious compounds herself found during their investigations. She also has basic knowledge of human biology and likely knows other species biologies (to an extent).
INVESTIGATIVE. Aside from being a military leader with a tactical mind Quill is incredibly observant, noticing things that other people fail to. When being inspected by 'Ofsted' Quill was convinced that he was evil (later discovering that she was partially right), trying to find out everything that she could about him, believing that he was evil due to his appearance not fitting with what was expected, doing heavy research on the smallest of details to prove her point (such as the stitching on his trousers). Quill was also able to detect a species that hid in the walls, having noticed them when they came to observe her sleeping, something that no one else noticed.
LANGUAGES. Quill speaks both her own native language as well as that of the Rhodians. After 'relocating' to Earth she had to learn English, which she can speak fluently (if general conversationally -- her idioms aren't perfect and her conversations depend on if she understands human nuances). Other than a strange manner of speech her grasp of English wouldn't give her away as being non-human, just a little odd.

Entity Affinity:

THE END. Quill has experienced the end herself with the genocide of not only her species but both species that lived on her planet. Because of the life she now lives she considers it nothing or not worth living, that an unfree life isn't really a life.
