Quip is a stout young woman in her mid twenties with thick, blonde hair usually worn in intricate braids and paired with fierce green eyes touched by flecks of hazel.  Curt and cranky, she normally works the counter at Freyd Edges with the demeanor better suited to that of a prison guard duty than customer service.  Normally dressed in coarse and practical peasant clothing commonly worn throughout the settlement, and covered by a worn leather apron, she often busies herself checking inventory, glaring at customers, or just fawning over the ones that meet her strict if fickle standards.  Passionate and unpredictable, Quip's character name matches her fiery disposition.  Maeve, her younger sister, had insisted that she use it.  She's loud, opinionated, and not afraid to mouth off to anything or anyone at anytime.

Short, but stocky and solid, Quip is also a natural caretaker to her two younger siblings.  Ever the overbearing mother figure, it nearly broke her when one of their gleeful romps in Aincrad's early floors ended in tragedy.  Maeve had run ahead to reach a treasure chest sitting out in a clearing.  It turned out to be a mimic, and in an instant, her little sister was gone.  Overwhelmed by grief and desperation, she dragged Dingo up to the thirteenth floor where someone had sold her on the false hope that an item could be found to save her sister, but only if they retrieved it in time.  The two surviving siblings raced blindly towards their own doom, entering the elite mob spawning zones in Valehaven.  Fortunately, they spoke with Quaestor in Angel's Point, seeking directions, and he warned Freyd in turn.  Their combined efforts eked out a rescue, but Quip's hopes and spirit were left in pieces.  

A solution was offered: she and Dingo could have a home in Angel's Point, if they were willing to pay their way by tending to Freyd's shop during his adventures.  Her pride was so completely destroyed that she actually accepted, the few remaining vestiges of her senses still wanting to protect her bookish brother.  Now, after months of idle busy work and mourning done, Quip finally feels the need to stretch out and try to help again.  It never sat well with her to wallow.  Maeve wouldn't have wanted it.


history

Spoiler

Morag, Michael and Maeve MacLeod were traveling with their parents across Asia as part of a grandiose family tour.  The sad truth was that their father had recently been diagnosed with cancer, and this was to be their one last hurrah for each of them as the children had already scattered to different schools across the globe.  The trio stumbled across a release party for SAO and somehow ended up getting roped into a free demo.  Maeve was always like that - always getting a ton of attention and free stuff from everybody.  Two decades of such fortune had basically turned Morag into her second mother, desperately trying to keep her out of trouble.  Little could they know the ramifications.

virtues & flaws

Spoiler

virtues

genuine - You get what you see.  Despite her relentless use of wit, Quip is true to herself and others at all times.  If she believes that you're right, she will go down swinging on your behalf.  You could never have a truer friend.

honest - She'll tell you if she lying, and gets easily frazzled and angry if she's forced into an awkward or distasteful position.  Quip calls things as she sees them, regardless of whether her response will be popular.  Woe to the scammer who tries deceit to confuse of bamboozle people around her.  She won't hesitate to take them to task. 

caring - While rough around the edges, Quip cares deeply for all the players trapped in Aincrad, and desperately wants to protect others from the same fate as her sister.  Her delivery could use some work; a lot of work, actually, but she always means well.  Where her words usually get her into trouble, she invariably demonstrates her intentions by her stalwart actions.

flaws

snarky - Quip's teddy bear interior comes with a hard, prickly shell.  Never particularly approachable, Maeve's death has caused her to assume the worst in people and situations.  She's afraid to trust, and can't manage to figure out how to express her need to protect with a fear of letting anyone get close.  Severe tongue-lashing has become her default response to everything.

short-tempered - Fiesty at the best of times, Quip's patience has also never been abundant.  She's quick to anger, which has only been made worse by her brittle pride.  Dingo once pointed out that her freckles shine more brightly when she's about to blow.  It took three days for him to dare to emerge from the shop's attic, afterwards.

proud - Eldest of the MacLeod siblings, and among the older players in the game, Quip thinks of herself as camp mom, or at the very least as the adult in whatever room she currently occupies.  Woe to anyone who dares try to tell her otherwise.  In truth, she has little else left to provide her with a sense of purpose, even as she struggles to find a place for herself in a world that is constantly trying to kill them all.
