that they will learn that there's more to life than food. Like the rest of the Qu Tribe, Quina speaks in broken English. Quina's unique ability is called Blue Magic (Blu Magic in the battle menu) which allows them to use enemy abilities acquired in battle by using the Eat command on certain enemies. Quina's philosophy is that there are only two things: "things you can eat and things you no can eat." Their favorite food is frogs. Quina is separated from the rest of the party at several points in the game. During Disc 1 of the game, Quina is an optional character. They join the party in the first disc only if the player travels to Qu's Marsh (Quina's and Quale's home) near the Lindblum Dragon's Gate. If you do not recruit Quina then, they can be recruited in the same place during Disc 2, at which point having Quina join your party is a mandatory requirement of finding a way to get to the Outer Continent, and making progress through the game. Quina's motive for joining the party is not out of a desire to save the world (at least not until they are eventually made aware of how high the stakes are), but rather as an opportunity to taste different foods from all around Gaia. As a result, they do not hold a particularly high interest in the dramatic events that unfold during the course of the story (unless food is involved somehow), but nonetheless fights hard alongside Zidane and the rest of the party to achieve their goal of saving it from Brahne, and then from Kuja. Later in the game, Zidane, Vivi, and Quina can visit Quan's dwelling (near Treno, where Vivi grew up), and Quina will see a whole room of nonexistent food. Moving outside, Quina and Vivi (and the newly arrived Quale) meet with Quan's ghost (something that Zidane can mysteriously not see occur). Quan commends both Vivi and Quina for their vivid, valuable imaginations and reprimands Quale for seeing the world too literally. It is at this point that Quina fully understands what they’ve gotten out of traveling with Zidane and decides that they want to travel the world in search of even more "yummy-yummies." Quina's role in the rest of the game is limited to a secondary role except in the closing, where Quina is seen in the kitchen of
