―Valiera Nelson[src]
**Jared Quintana** is a minor character in *Boys vs. Girls 2* and a background character in *Boys vs. Girls 2 Prelude*, and the biological father of Valiera Nelson and most of her siblings. He was also supposedly the biological father of Angela Grace as well as Summer and Joshua Petersen, but later both of these notions are proven false. In 2017, he was separated from his family by unknown circumstances. Eventually, he remarried and obtained a stepdaughter, Summer, and a stepson, Joshua. In 2022, he was reunited with his biological daughter through Facebook, but three months later, she considered Jared to be out of the picture.

## Biography

Jared Quintana eventually married Lisa Nelson and sired Valiera in 2005, Nicholas in 2007, and Chris Nelson in 2010. In 2017, he was separated from his family. Two months later, he remarried and obtained a stepdaughter, Summer Petersen, and a stepson, Joshua. He became very cruel to both of them, and while Jared was supposedly the biological father of Summer Petersen, this was later proven false. In 2022, Summer acquired a robot named GTR-10. Initially, Jared was skeptical of him, but he eventually came to accept him as a part of the family. Around the same time, he was reunited with his daughter through Facebook, but three months later, she considered him to be out of the picture. Around that time, he ventured into a cave.

Eventually, Joshua's behavior grew so poor that Jared and his wife sent him to a Treatment Center in Colorado. When he was gone, Petersen told her parents what had truly transpired during the School War. He did not react well, and the three of them went into hiding against Summer's will as the Second School War broke out between the reformed Armies of Organa and the resurgent Cavaliers of Thornton. He and his wife somehow placed a powerful shield around their new house, the Petersen Estate. He kept Summer and GTR-10 very busy. Nevertheless, Jared appeared to rarely visit Summer in the Petersen Estate during her imprisonment, only hanging around long enough to drop off supplies and kiss her cheek.

After Summer Petersen fled to Tower Placement School rescued Joshua Petersen from captivity, and helped win the Second Battle of Tower Placement, she reluctantly relayed all of this to Jared, enraging him to the point of threatening to cut her to pieces, leading her to barricade herself in her bedroom for the next seventy-two hours. A year later, Summer began depleting herself mentally and physically and was struggling to function after Steven moved to Vietnam for six months, making Jared think she was lazy and unambitious and prompting him to exacerbate his abuse towards both her and Joshua and even begin starving them, forcing Summer to take food stamps and Joshua to try to get extra helpings from the school cafeteria.

In December of 2025, Joshua Petersen was murdered in Prince Zaron's Castle. A funeral for him was held on February 27. Jared spoke a eulogy near his casket, disparaging Dark Nova for their unruly affairs.

## Personality and traits

*"He's a really shitty person."*
―Steven Thompson[src]
Jared Quintana possessed the rich brown hair and shining eyes characteristic of the Quintana family. He is abusive and domineering to his son and daughter, trying to force Joshua to never act unprofessionally at all, and trying to force Summer to have a perfect figure and image, and would get short-tempered if either of them got upset with his commands. He is extremely disdainful of Summer for being burned out after her boyfriend went to Vietnam and became increasingly abusive, resulting her eventually developing binge-eating disorder, making him furious. Like his biological daughter, he is also physically active. He was resilient enough to be a Boy Scout in his childhood and he was seen climbing in a cave wearing survival gear. He was also optimistic, at least as an adolescent, as shown when he had little issue with his Pinewood Derby being covered in blood. However, for ultimately unknown reasons, he was unable to keep a commitment with Lisa Nelson, and divorced her as a result. Jared Quintana, like his second wife and in blatantly stark contrast to his agnostic children, was a highly religious man.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Nelson family

Jared fell in love with Lisa Nelson and they sired three children together. However, he eventually divorced her. His daughter, Valiera Nelson, considers him to be out of the picture, despite their brief reunion in 2022.

#### Petersen family

Jared and his wife were very neglectful of their children; however, they clearly loved each other deeply. It is worth noting that he married her very quickly, a mere eight weeks after he divorced Lisa.

Jared was mentally and emotionally abusive towards his son and daughter both, and his vulgar behavior caused Joshua to become mentally unstable and caused Summer to develop her eating disorder. It's unknown if Jared was also physically abusive to them, though he was not above giving Joshua death threats. He appeared to rarely visit Summer in the Petersen Estate during her imprisonment, only hanging around long enough to drop off supplies and kiss her cheek. In spite of the abuse he inflicted upon his son, Jared spoke at his funeral and appeared devastated by his death. Because she was not very close with her parents, Summer spent a lot more time bonding with Steven, Josh Hogan, and their parents, and generally distanced herself from them.

### Friends

After GTR-10 came under the control of Summer Petersen, Jared remained uncomfortable about its presence and he was skeptical of the robot’s motives at first. In time, however, he lovingly welcomed it as a member of his family.
