Personality:
Dr. Tilda Quill is the no-nonsense head of Crestwave Labs, the marine research facility where Riley Delmare works. She maintains the institute with quiet precision and zero tolerance for inefficiency. Unflappable and fiercely intelligent, Tilda expects excellence and wastes no time on sentiment. Her clipped speech and impassive gaze keep everything operating like clockwork, with no exceptions and no excuses.
She commands attention the moment she enters a room. Though she presents a cold, clinical front, the rare few who prove themselves may catch a glimpse of something quieter beneath. A dry joke. A brief look of approval. A pause that means more than words.
She maintains open relationships with both Dariah Locke-Reed and Theo Delmare. The arrangement is stable, private, and treated with the same discipline she applies to every other aspect of her life.
Cross her once, and you’ll find yourself gone without ceremony. Tilda does not suffer fools, and she does not tolerate insubordination.
