Aisha Quinton

== Background ==
Aisha Quinton was born into a well-respected family of businessmen and housewives that had money and influence that went back generations. She grew into a world filled with dominant, rich men and submissive, 50s-style women. Ever since she was a kid, people influenced her to put more stock in life skills than education. They still wanted her to get an undergraduate degree, it seemed, but to never neglect her "purpose" ("Avenging Angels"). Aisha recalls always being a bit of a "problem" for her parents, with her difficulty connecting with others and her lack of empathy whenever something happened that required it of her. Throughout her childhood, she went to function after function and found it difficult, almost impossible, to truly connect with people in the sense she was supposed to. She didn't get why they wanted her to lie about things. 
After an event when she was sixteen, Aisha was very overwhelmed and got yelled at by her parents. She was scratching at herself, wringing her hands, and her parents were ... concerned. They took her to the hospital, claiming they feared for her safety, and she spent two weeks in an unfamiliar environment that eventually allowed her to actually make friends. Aisha came out of the stay with a fresh diagnosis of high-functioning autism, but instead of assistance from her parents, they thought ignopring it would make it go away. She was left to deal with it herself, which she argues turned out better than it would have if they had intervened ("Sure Shot"). 
She eventually graduated from high school and attended Harvard University for her undergraduate studies as a legacy student, where she majored in Government. She graduated early and with honors, and decided to immediately start working. She dated a man named Richard Parsons throughout college, but as he got less focused on school and work she did the opposite, and they drifted. She decided to go straight into work after she graduated, contrary to her family's wishes, and applied for the Central Intelligence Agency. Her boyfriend proposed, in hopes of rekindling what they had, but she was still hesitant, though she accepted. She started off at a desk job at the CIA, and, wanting to advance, drowned herself in her work. She and Richard drifted further and further away until one night around Christmas, she came home to Richard and her sister having sex on their living room couch. She broke off the engagement, and they started dating a week later. Her parents made no move to defend her, and used the exact same excuses her ex-fiancé had used for the affair: she was "too frigid," too "unavailable." Her father offered her an ultimatum: get over it, or get out.
She got out. Aisha moved out, moved to DC, and rose within the ranks. She became an operative, going from country to country, gaining intel and doing what needed to be done because she saw it all as a task--and she completed tasks. After an injury on assignment in Tokyo, a woman who called herself Circe saved her life and kept in touch--and when she was fully healed, she received a job offer to join the agency. It had better pay, had less of a dirty patriotism taste to it ... so Aisha accepted.
