at first i thought Quiet's...quietness was like. her thing. but then it is revealed she is one of those characters who were originally super hyper and bubbly and talkative and full of hope and love for the people around her despite the world giving her every reason not to be, and she was silenced by trauma for a while and part of her arc is slowly learning to return to her voice again as she lets herself trust in people despite setback after setback....and her innate sense of hope and empathy was never crushed by her circumstances, its why she forces john to leave her for the inner city, its why she goes renegade as a lone robin hood and later joins the dolls, it's why she lets mayhem in and protects her even at the risk of her own life.....and once she learns to separate her rage against the actors of the system who wronged her (the cop that killed her brother) and her rage against the system itself (the laws "protecting" inner cities that allow the pointless and brutal persecution of the marginalized outsiders) that's when her character arc reaches its turning point and she finds a radical path to reshape her grief, changing herself from a victim of the state's violence to an instrument of its deconstruction...and i think that was a cool little thing for a niche unserious action comedy show based on a video game featuring a serial killer clown named Sweet Tooth to do
