By her 'brother' do you mean the guy with white hair who tells 'Q' to get back to sleep, and the one he nearly stabs because he said she was a rat ?It would seem that Broccoli is a divisive taste. I think it’s an interesting character development to experience during a DIK run.
Ultimately I think that DPC has put a significant amount of sympathetic actions, and words into Quinn. To me that hints heavily at a redemption arc. Her brother seems to be the architect behind the operation, and unlike Quinn he seems violent and scary.
I know the tasing was super fucked up, but ultimately harmless. A messed up prank rather than an attempt at harm. It doesn’t make it okay. Neither is her back pouncing and groin kicking, but again it’s more like a cat play fighting than a reptile’s killer instinct.
All her wickedness aside, she doesn’t even slap Maya back when she gets hit. During the roof scene she’s concerned about the MC falling off of the roof and have him hold on to the chimney.
I think that Quinn is scared shitless of her brother. I think it was his and possibly Vinny’s idea to get her into B&R in order to sling drugs. I don’t know if the hooking was Quinn’s idea to get something out of it for herself, or dictated to her. She doesn’t appear to study, and implies to Rio that their hustle is all they have.
I mean if her brother cared for her, she could’ve walked back short with a bloody nose and gotten some slack. Even drug dealing gangsters, could be expected to have leniency towards their younger siblings.
Instead she desperately hustles to not be short on the next trip, dreading the consequences. Given that her brother almost stabbed someone over nothing that seems like a smart move.
Or maybe she’s just a viper, about to drag the MC down. Regardless we will be entertained, and for that reason plus her wits, I like Quinn.
Cause that's her father. The stars she has as makeup is what he also had, that her way to remember him. While it's blurry, I think he's been dead for a while. And her mother is a wreck and doesn't even remember her, and she's what, 19 ?
The one her father nearly stabs is Buddy (I think ?), the one who gives Quinn her shares.
Otherwise, I have similar viewpoints as yours.
