Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet and a major catalyst of the Alphabet Lore series. He resembles a slug; and as such, moves very slow as thick molasses. He is one of 6 characters not used to make a word.
He would constantly follow the heroes around for an undisclosed reason, until it was revealed that he formerly held the question mark "?" gem, before he gave it to N to ensure he remembers everything that happened in the first timeline, and the gem was later acquired by N, which he cried out as a tear.
Appearance
Q is a tan letter Q. He has stalk eyes on the top of his head and a slimy tail to crawl around, albeit slowly. There are 3 dark spots on the back of his head. He has a massive mouth which has him his complete shape of the letter “Q” when it is open.
Biography
Alphabet Lore
As a child, Q was a lonely individual. One day, L and O got into a fight with F, soon after F cried the Gems. The ? gem flings out of the letters location and lands in front of Q. Q decided to swallow the ? gem. Q then saw the future and what would happen to the rest between F and the letters, Q then tried to tell everybody as a warning, but due to his speed, he wasn't able to catch up and was ignored by the rest.
As an adult, Q arived immediatly warns everyone by claiming that N lost his gem, and when F became a killing machine , Q chased down many of the letters to tell them about the deception but was unable to. After N finally managed to kill F just to discover that F was attempting to create the word “FRIENDS” once again, N and Y were quite puzzled. Q arrives from behind them, finally catching up, with the cause already being done. Q subsequently showed N, along with A, G, M, U, and Y the truth about why F had done all he did. Before the rewind, Q bestows the question mark to N to ensure he remembers what will happen.
Number Lore
Sometime after the epilogue, q notices a weird calculator heading towards m, y, b and x. He then goes to find the four letters and tell them about the calculator, although when he reaches them they have all become adults. Then the five see the calculator landing. Soon 1 emerges from the calculator identifying Q who is not X. After that he sees the letter X with Y, M and B watching. X is taken.
Later on, he witnesses the letters attack and "defeat" 1, only for him to return with 2. He tried to save M by yelling a big no from being shot teeth at by 2, but was yet again too slow. He is the only one who was not attacked by 2.
