Q Girl is a cheerful, energetic Barathrumite.

She's an opal in the monochrome.
Her hair is a quasar of red ochre and indigo in the blanched light of the workshop. Her cartilage is pierced by polyhedral rings that spin in antinomy to the cave's simple geometry. Beneath the quills her skin is decorated in furcate lines, fantastic elaborations on the patterns of discarded circuitboards. She's surrounded by apparatuses of her own creation. Through the harmony of those machines, she cuts a swath through the entropic brine that sizzles around her in a loudening chorus.
Q Girl is a legendary member of the Barathrumites located within 
Grit Gate.[1] She prefers to hang out in the center hub near several gadgets.
Character
Q Girl is a cheerful, energetic Barathrumite. Her favorite word to say is "quetzal", which she says when she wants to express a feeling similar to the one she feels when seeing a bird of the same name. True to her description, she is brightly colored compared to the rest of the Barathrumites who are mostly white and brown. Based on her unique faction relationship reasons, some factions dislike her for that exact appearance.
She is talented in the field of technology as well as philosophy. Along with creating blueprints and instructions for the main story, she also invented the 
Barathrum clock with Q Girl pendulum which can be found randomly across Qud. She has also penned two books that can be found in game: 
Disquisition on the Malady of the Mimic and 
From Entropy to Hierarchy, the latter being a reason why a faction can hate her. A canonical example of this is written about in 
Council at Gamma Rock. Her teachings in 'From Entropy to Hierarchy' influenced twelve wardens to form the Quetzal Caucus. Other wardens were hostile to their proposal and called the ideas of the Caucus and Q Girl "traitorous chattel".
Barathrum the Old names Q Girl as his "protégé". 
Hortensa says of her: "She explodes like gas and dust in a quiet corner of the galaxy. Radiant. Revolutionary. She's a good listener and companion for supper, which you mightn't expect." Hortensa also mentions that Q Girl was responsible for Ereshkigal's creation, or at least her activation, which occurred when she "succeeded at retreading the mainframe's guts".

The loop will always be slotted with a 
chem cell at 100% charge, though it does not require power to function.
The life loop will cause Q Girl to teleport to Barathrum's Study and be healed to full health when her hitpoints reach 0, rather than dying. This will not consume the life loop, meaning it is essentially impossible for Q Girl to die so long as she is wearing the loop.[3][2]
Equipment

She will also possess 
quills, natural equipment worn on her body that can't be removed, providing her with an additional 
4 AV. Triple-jointed will grant Q Girl an additional 3 Agility.
