Quae is the color of knowledge, memory, and learning. It's the sum of all that you've learned or experienced, allowing you to recall important details quickly and to focus on what matters. High Quae characters are well informed, well educated, and committed to finding the truth.
With Pfi, Quae manifests as the element of air and the season of autumn. As animals and plants fly through the sky, these colors provide the structures to propel them.
With Glei, Quae completes the mind or mental axis. Perception could be considered the source of all experience, and knowledge is the effect of that experience. Mysteries and secrets also hide within these colors.
With Vei, Quae advises or discovers, trading secrets or mentoring those who would listen to uncover mysteries.
Biz and Dau are the colors with the least relevance for Quae. Who has time for research or book-learning when survival is on the line? Strength and fortune have little to contribute to skill and self-realization.
Scholars or students might be good examples of Quae-based characters. They need to integrate analysis (Pfi) with intuition (Vei) to learn practical life lessons which are often at odds with their personal experience (Glei). Achieving mastery of such skills leave little room for chance or brute force methods (Biz+Dau), with the aim to reduce risk and uncertainty.
Marie Curie might be a good example of a Quae-based character. Noted for her extraordinary achievements in science, she used both intelligence (Pfi) and wisdom (Vei) to relentlessly pursue the truth. Eventually she was killed by the invisible threat of radiation (Glei), but not before shattering previous conceptions of the natural order (Biz+Dau).

Glei is the color of perception and imagination. It's the sum of your sense of reality and dreams of fantasy. They say beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, and so the appreciation of beauty and art belong to this color as well.
With Jutu, Glei carries the element of storm with the season of spring. Since both dexterity and perception are needed for marksmanship, these colors include all range attacks or abilities as well.
With Quae, Glei completes the mind or mental axis. Perception could be considered the source of all experience, and knowledge is the effect of that experience. Mysteries and secrets also hide within these colors.
With Sace, Glei embraces the arts, especially those of persuasion and trickery. Charmers and artists of all sorts reveal themselves here.
Biz and Dau are the colors with the least relevance for Glei. Who has time for the arts or daydreaming when survival is on the line? Strength and fortune have little to contribute to skill and self-realization.
A ranger, trickster, or seducer might all fit well in Glei. The romantic image of a pirate might fit all three ideas, storming enemy ships for plunder with guns blazing (Jutu), alternatively scheming to outwit their captors or fellow crewmembers (Sace), all while embracing the thrill of adventure (Quae). Their primary conflict would be with Quae, as they lack the education or hindsight to break the cycle, and are often doomed to failure because of it.
In the real world, Michelangelo might be a good example of a Glei-centered character. Especially considering his rival, Leonardo da Vinci, who would likely be based in Quae. Michelangelo kicked off his career with a forged statue and continually sought to prove his manual and artistic skills. Not much is known about his internal struggles, but while his artwork inspired a sense of awe, it arguably lacked the essential truth pursued by Da Vinci.
