Biography
1989
Prior to the conflict between the Basics and ISOs, Quorra was friends with Radia. She witnessed Clu's betrayal when he attempted to kill Tron and Flynn, and when Clu declared war, she, with the help of a prototype System Monitor security program, attempted to warn Radia and the ISO's about him as well as combat the viral program Abraxas. After the purge, she attempted to kill Clu but was rescued by System Monitor and they escaped using a Recognizer. However, the Recognizer crashed and only Quorra survived, leaving her stranded in the Outlands. With her energy depleted, she collapsed as her systems began shutting down, only to be saved by Flynn at the last moment.

Quorra meets Sam
Quorra first met Sam when she charged onto the Light Cycle Grid and rescued him from Clu. Gradually forming a bond with Sam, she went against Kevin's wishes and secretly aided him to find her old friend Zuse, only to rescue him once more when the End of Line Club came under attack. During the fight, she was critically wounded with her arm partially derezzed, causing her to shut down and lapse into a catatonic state.
Sam and Kevin then took her aboard a Solar Sailer headed for the Portal. Once aboard, Kevin set about repairing her code in order to restore her arm and reboot her systems, during which time he spoke about her being the last known ISO alive. When she awoke she listened to Sam's stories about the physical world outside of the system.
En-route to the Portal, their Solar Sailer unexpectedly changed course to rendezvous with a gigantic carrier ship. The trio abandoned the Solar Sailer and began sneaking through the carrier. Rinzler, still on their trail, nearly discovered them, but Quorra drew Rinzler's attention and allowed herself to be captured, so that Sam and Kevin could get away. Upon being presented to Clu, and recognized as an ISO, she was taken to Clu's Command Ship for Clu to deal with later. Sam broke into the Command Ship to retrieve Kevin's captured identity disc, then rescued Quorra from Rinzler. Escaping the Command Ship, they reunited with Kevin and escaped in a stolen Light Jet.
Being a skilled pilot, Quorra took the controls of the Light Jet while Sam manned the tail gun. Together they destroyed most of the pursuing Light Jets and narrowly escaped. With their Light Jet heavily damaged, Quorra crash landed near the steps of the Portal, only to find Clu there waiting for them. While Kevin delayed Clu, Quorra revealed that she and Kevin had secretly switched identity discs; she hands Sam his father's disc, and together they made their escape.
Quorra and Sam exit the Grid to the real world
Quorra ultimately had her wish granted when she accompanied Sam on his journey back to the real world, apparently becoming a flesh-and-blood human in the process, and happily set off with Sam as he showed her the wonders of the physical world.
Personality
Quorra's personality is quite innocent and at times naive. Her innocence in a social setting gives way to a form of determined passion when she is confronted by dangers, and under such circumstances she can become very protective of the people she loves. Her bravery is such that she is willing to be self-sacrificing, "removing herself from the equation", to protect those who are important to her.
Quorra likes reading books from the real world, taking a particular interest in books by Jules Verne, She even asks Sam if he knows Verne personally. Quorra bonds with Sam throughout the course of TRON: Legacy, and shares a master-student relationship with Kevin. She becomes good friends with Anon in TRON: Evolution, and is deeply affected by his loss.
Skills and Traits
An alternate version of Quorra appears as a character in the Derezzed music video.
Quorra is an accomplished warrior, possessing significant skill with the sword and her identity disc. She uses these two weapons in tandem, with the sword providing much of the striking, and occasional parries, while her disc is predominantly used for defensive actions in a similar manner to a buckler shield. Unlike most disc-users, she refrains from employing it as a thrown missile weapon, preferring instead to keep it for melee use.
Quorra is also a skilled driver and pilot, capable of guiding vehicles through complex terrestrial and aerial stunts. Her intrinsic talent allowed her to quickly master the unfamiliar controls of a Light Jet and pilot it through a protracted dog fight.
