The “tsun” side of a tsundere can get annoying very quickly if not handled properly, so luckily, Quitterie’s standoffishness and rude attitude are toned way down after just a few episodes. She starts off as an aloof rich girl who complains about everything and “isn’t here to make friends”, but these are just defense mechanisms that developed from her neglectful upbringing. After a sobering scare where her younger sister Funicia almost dies on an alien planet, she opens up to the others and scales back her “tsun” traits to a manageable level.

All of the girls in Kanata no Astra have top-tier adorable designs, but we particularly love Quitterie for her gal aesthetic. She rocks a brightly colored spacesuit, deep tanned skin, blonde hair, and the all-important tsundere twintails atop her head. When her spacesuit helmet is up, her hair collects at its base in cute little swirls – such a nice detail! And, of course, we can’t forget the mini star pin on her headband that matches her little sister.

Quitterie has a whole plan in mind for the future—graduate school, marry her crush Zack, and become a doctor. To prepare for that last part, she’s been reading medical textbooks ever since she was a small child. So, once the crew is stranded in space, she assumes the role of shipboard nurse and uses what knowledge she has to keep everyone in good shape. Alien diseases are mostly outside her realm of expertise, but at least she has a good bedside manner!

She doesn’t act like it at first, but Quitterie loves her sister Funicia with all her heart. Her mother adopted the child and basically forced Quitterie to take care of her out of neglect, so she has some built-up resentment toward Funicia for making her life even more difficult than it already was. However, once Funicia gets lost in an alien forest and Quitterie and Kanata just barely manage to save her, she realizes that her sister is more precious than anything else in the world.

Quitterie keeps a close eye on everyone’s love lives, taking great pleasure in watching crushes develop among the Astra’s crew. She recently enjoyed commenting on Luca and Ulgar’s blossoming relationship, but her main obsession is Aries’ obvious love for Kanata. Because Aries and Kanata are somewhat oblivious, Quitterie goes out of her way to engineer romantic scenarios for them. After all, if she doesn't give them a little extra help, how will they ever get to the point of confessing to each other?
