===In the Super Editions===
====Tallstar's Revenge====
:As Talltail follows Jake onto the fence, he hears a soft greeting, which makes him stiffen. Quince is shown to be staring up at him from the grassy square below, and Talltail tells her that they are not there to cause trouble. Jake jumps up beside him and greets Quince, introducing her to Talltail. Quince inquires who Talltail is as she leaps onto the fence beside them, then sniffs at his pelt. She comments that Talltail's name sounds like a wildcat name and wrinkles her nose, claiming in disgust that he smells of the cutter.
:Talltail then interrupts Jake and states that he is a WindClan warrior, which makes Quince eye him suspiciously. She is disbelieving and asks him why he is hanging around Jake's residence and visiting the cutter. As she begins to go on, Jake interrupts her, stating that he is on a mission, and Quince's eyes stretch wide as she expresses interest. Talltail weaves past her and asks if they will be going, and Jake nods, telling Quince that he will see her later. She watches Jake slide past her and asks him if he will come back. Talltail replies that he wwill and hops over the wooden stalk at the end of the fence.

====Pinestar's Choice====
:Jake goes to visit Quince one day, and when Pinestar comes looking for his friend, the ginger tom is not home. Shanty explains to him where Jake had gone and asks Pinestar if he has met Quince yet. When the reddish-brown tom says he has not, the kittypet explains that Quince lives on the main road and that all the toms seem to like her. Shanty later comments that the gray she-cat is all right to have around when she does not have toms with her. Another time when Pinestar comes to visit Jake, Tyr tells him that the ginger kittypet is with Quince again. When Pinestar becomes a kittypet, Jake offers to take him to meet some his new neighbors. He mentions Quince specifically, saying that she is a sweetheart and that Pinestar should come meet her.

====The Rise of Scourge====
:She is the mother of Tiny, Ruby, and Socks. She constantly tells Socks and Ruby off for picking on Tiny because of his small size. Quince takes her kits outside for the first time, and calls back Tiny when he investigates a hole in the fence. When back inside, Tiny asks his mother about the forest, and she explains that she knows a little bit, saying their father had gone there a couple of times. She tells Tiny that they will not be going to the forest when he asks, saying the cats there have fleas. Quince warns Tiny to stay away from the forest, explaining that the cats who live there are savages and that they are a scourge on the name of good cats. While her kits are asleep, she looks at a photo of Jake, saying he would have been proud of them, and that it is strange that they do not have his ginger fur.
:Tiny thinks that she secretly likes Ruby and Socks more than him while she watches Ruby and Socks playing in the garden. When Tiny asks his brother and sister if he can play with them, they say no and run into the bush, causing Quince to tell them to come out straight away. She tells her kits to be nice to Tiny. After Tiny's adventure into the forest, she is heard calling for him, and is sitting on the porch outside with Ruby and Socks. Though he explains what he was doing, he can tell they do not believe him, but Quince is merely amused by this. She carries him inside and tells him she thinks he is a very brave cat when she sets him back inside their basket.
:Quince cuts off Socks and Ruby's taunting of Tiny, saying she needs to talk to them. She explains that Twolegs will come and take them to their new homes if they learn to behave themselves. Ruby protests, asking if they have to go, and Quince says that they will have a new backyard to play in and new housefolk to take care of them. She watches Ruby and Socks playing as the Twolegs observe them. Later, Tiny shows remorse at leaving his mother, which is later hardened by the fact that he uses the word "Scourge" as his name, which his mother had quoted before.
