Biography[]
In "The Hugest Period Ever", Quinta and Lena showed up in Atlanta, Georgia to see their uncle Cyrus and their cousin, Missy. Quinta used the N word and when Missy freaked out at her, she realized that she needed to embrace her black culture so she and Lena took her on a shopping spree to update her style. When giving Missy a new hairstyle, she suggested she use hair extensions but Missy didn't want to use someone else's hair. Quinta told Missy that she had hair extensions and when Missy was grossed out by this, Quinta was just about ready to slap her. When Missy gave up her overalls, Quinta laughed about how stupid she was for crying about it but Lena reminded her that she once had a blanket named "Bonky" that she talked to. Quinta started crying about this. Quinta, Lena, and Aunt Foreman all cheered Missy on, when she lashed out at her parents for depriving her of her culture.
In "Thanksgiving", Lena and Quinta came down to the Foreman-Greenwald House to celebrate Thanksgiving with their family. Quinta noticed that Missy's hair was becoming a mess, since she wasn't getting her cornrows redone, like she was supposed to and told her that she looked like Frederick Douglass. Lena and Quinta went out for a walk with Missy and smoked some pot so that they would be able to enjoy Monica's carob pie. Quinta called Missy a dork after hearing about her extensive plan to end racism and out of anger, Missy snatched her blunt away and smoked it, herself, getting insanely stoned. Lena and Quinta worried that their family would notice Missy got high and that they'd get in a lot of trouble, which, of course, happened very quickly and Grandma Foreman was quick to find out that Missy got high. Lena and Quinta's mom punished them and Lena and Quinta yelled at Missy for being so lame and ruining their already subpar Thanksgiving for them.
In "I Fucking Hate You", Lena and Quinta were among the "shitbag, loser, scum" that Missy hated in the song "Hate, Hate, Hate".
In "Re-New Year's Eve", Quinta facetimed with Missy to apologize for how things went down on Thanksgiving, while Missy was going through some tough times. She also helped her undo her cornrows, so that her hair could be more free and stylish until she got her cornrows redone. Quinta heard about all of the bad things that happened to Missy and when she heard that one of her enemies, Jessi Glaser, was showing up at her door to apologize, Quinta encouraged Missy to accept her apology, as it would be the first step to making her feel better again.
