Quinn Ergon is a major protagonist in Final Space. She is a space officer who crosses paths with Gary in her mission to close a breach to Final Space, which he would fall in love with.
She is voiced by Tika Sumpter, who also played Layla Williamson in One Life to Live, Raina Thorpe in Gossip Girl and Jenna Rice in The Game.
Background
A brilliant badass who makes a terrifying discovery — there’s a breach in Time/Space, and when no one will listen, she steals a spaceship and goes rogue to investigate. She is captured, arrested, and kidnapped by an Infinity Guard Cruiser which promptly gets sucked into the anomaly. Quinn uses an escape pod and is rescued by Gary. She then becomes one of the last good guys, fighting alongside the Galaxy One crew.
Appearance
Quinn has dark brown hair and brown skin and is of African descent. She wears a blue spacesuit with the Infinity Guard's double-ringed Jupiter logo, which she removes in the episode 5 after severing her allegiance to them. She wears a light orange hairband, gray belt, gloves, and boots and a white triangle collar like Gary's.
She eventually suffers an injury that forced her into surgery, with a needed component a cybernetic implant above her right eye, exactly the same as her alternate future counterpart, Nightfall.
Personality
Quinn takes her job as a space officer seriously. She doesn't mince words and can be really abrasive, to the point of calling her superiors or allies "idiots" right to their faces. Quinn was also originaly willing to sacrifice a single life if it means saving more people in the long run. That said, she is not a bad person, and firmly sets herself on the heroic side by trying to save as many people as possible.
As the series progresses, Quinn begins to show a bit more affection towards Gary. In the episode 8 she thought a little bit more of Gary. While witnessing Gary interact with his father, he admits his love for her.
Quinn also loses those jerkish and abrasive moments as well, never showing them again after the end of Season 1, becoming kinder than before to Gary and the rest of the Team Squad. She originally didn't reciprocate Gary's feelings for her, but grew to admire him, which eventually developed into love; even so, she was bashful, before ultimately accepting a relationship with Gary. While they desire to make it physical, they are always interrupted, which frustrates, then amuses them about the unfairness of reality.
Quinn is also capable of acknowledging her mistakes, and it's revealed that the reason why she started of as abrasive was because she lost her sister in a battle with an unnamed enemy force. As a child, her mother locked her in a morgue to teach her about death, which worked, but also deeply traumatised her, and left her terrified of breaching protocol, as it would risk casualties. This trauma is what contributed to her being so strict and no nonsense upon first meetings with Gary.
Above all, Quinn tries her best to keep everyone the best she can and will put her life at risk to protect the universe and those she cares about safe.
Trivia
- Quinn has a sister, who is mentioned in the episode 5 of Season 1. She is seen again in Season 3, and we learn they weren't as close as they were implied to be, as they had somewhat of a rivalry and Avery didn't trust each other much despite Quinn trusting her.
- Quinn has a pet dog. No other information is given regarding the animal aside from the fact that Quinn trusts her dog.
