Updated Quina's pronouns.
Changed line(s) 385 (click to see context) from:
An apprentice gourmand and blue mage dwelling in the marshes north of Lindblum. S/he belongs to the Qu Clan, a race of chubby white-skinned beings with long pink tongues and a culture centred around cooking and eating. Quina joins Zidane's party as a means of learning more about the different cuisines of the world and honing his/her culinary skills. S/he doesn't really seem to take much notice of the larger struggle going on, but proves a faithful and helpful ally...most of the time, anyway.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though Quina seems to be a self-centered hedonist most of the time s/he does show concern for his/her companions from time to time, such as consoling and offering to aid Freya as she entered her DoomedHometown and assuring Vivi that, black mage or no, he's still human in the ways that count.
* KickTheDog: Though it could be argued s/he's just too dumb to realize what s/he's doing, Quina expresses interest in eating both chocobo eggs and moogles, which is pretty harsh considering they're the {{Series Mascot}}s. The chocobo egg is particularly mean as it's being cared for by Black Mages who tell him/her its mother died, but Quina is undeterred and considers the idea ridiculous.
* LethalJokeCharacter: When you first get Quina, s/he has ''no'' usable skills, a random attack damage variable, and almost no purchasable weapons. Take the time to use him/her properly, and you can kill almost any enemy (and some bosses) in one turn. In TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon, as you would expect, there are a lot of powerful enemies, but it turns out most of them are not immune to status ailments, so Quina's Mustard Bomb and Frost attacks become OneHitKO moves for as little as 8 MP. Also Quina's Lvl. 5 Death spell is one of the fastest ways to kill Grand Dragons, the enemy best suited for leveling up in the endgame.
* MagikarpPower: As is typical for Blue Mages in the series, but Quina goes a step beyond it. Like other Blue Mages in the series (such as Strago and Quistis), Quina is at his/her best with a full set of spells. Unlike those two, Quina begins with no spells at all in his/her kit and a physical attack that gives random damage output, only making his/her useful as an ItemCaddy at first. That said, training Quina into having a full arsenal rewards the player with one of the best Blue Mages in the series, as Quina now can function as a better healer than Garnet or Eiko, a damage dealer only rivaled by Zidane and Freya, the ability to hit elemental weaknesses with better efficiency than Vivi, and a combination buffer and debuffer that outshines Amarant.

As does Vivi who was raised by another Qu so he's used to their style of culture and thinking. When it seems like Quina didn't survive Cleyra Vivi is devastated at the thought.

It's somewhat justified in that the Knights of Pluto are seen as incompetent boobs. It's suggested in side material that Steiner in his youth was one of the strongest knights of the kingdom and Beatrix's equal but a combination of becoming a stickler for the rules as he got older and having to deal with the incompetence of his division has seriously dulled his skills and kept him from progressing as Beatrix did until he starts getting over his negative personality traits later in the game.

Although they're late to the actual rescue they make it back in time to cover Zidane's escape and, off screen, manage to recover Steiner Freya and Beatrix and carry them back to Lindblum.
