*Anti-Villain. Despite slipping further off the slippery slope as the comic goes along, its very clear she is, at her core, a broken woman suffering from years of horrific abuse and torment at teh hands of her abusive mother, as well as the manipulations of Snad. Said abuse and manipulation is why she joined the Nids in the first place and why she acts and does what she does later on. Ultimately, all she truly wants is to be free of the mother and clan that abused and tortured her adn to be able to be with teh children that were stolen from her; something that she has been denied repeatedly.

*HateSink: Played with. Despite the grey morality of many in the setting, Quain stands out as exceptionally cruel for her *AbusiveParent tendcies, especially acts like stealing Mel's newborn right from under her arms, to say nothing of the *SpartanWay upbringing she inflicts on Ariel at a young age; its unlikely that she was mean't to be sympathized with, at least at first. That being said, over time she actually subverts this and does show redeeming qualities, such as her relationship with Ashwaren, her compliments to Ariel after she completes her rite of passage, and [[spoiler: protecting her grandchildren and Faen from a coup.]] That and her tragic backstory helps subvert this further.

** The test she gave Ariel to kill Mirkin is of course cruel since Ariel was a child being forced to kill another child, but it was at least considered a rite of passage and a legitimate test by Sarghess standards. What makes it this is the fact that, when Ariel refuses at first, Quain threatens to force her to fight her own cousin to the death if she does not want to kill Mirkin. She did not bother even choosing anyone else who Ariel has no attachment to.
Added DiffLines:
*LaserGuidedKarma: She created clan of anit-Val warriors hell-bent on tearing apart the Val and Vel system that rules over Chel, despite becoming a Val herself at some point. The Sarghess become increasingly rabid about killing Vals and destroying all vestiges of the system. Fittingly, [[spoiler: her own soldiers turn on her almost as soon as the District War is over and the system as lost its legs. The very revolution she lead ended turning on her as she too was considered among the nobility.]]
