Qum D'umpe

Story
Qum is a very strange succubus, even among her fellow succubi. Stranded in the Feroholm church as a sexual relief for their soldiers, she is easily convinced to join Simon just because she likes him. Can be considered a magical savant, because even lacking a proper education on magic or life in general, she has an instinctive understanding of magic fields and a surprising capacity to mimic the most complex magical gestures. For example, in Devil's Pass she learns the precise technique on her first try through simply making sure the magic was "pretty". She is also a good healer, again mostly by intuition. She has an innocent and childlike mind that can view an optimistic opportunity in the most bleak of circumstances, serving to lightening the mood of her more morose and world-weary companions.

In fact, she stands out among the group because she has some of the funniest moments, such as when the budding harem met Robin for the first time, and some of the most insightful in her rather somber analysis of a previous Incubus King's situation at the abandoned fortress.

Qum has nubby little horns, which are often hidden by her mass of very fluffy pink hair. In the Orgasmic Palace Archives, we learn Qum's natural pink hair is unusual for succubi. The overall significance of succubus hair color is debatable in general, however. Qum has no tail, and tiny red wings perhaps a half-meter wide which don't let her fly.

During the Gathering, she helps Yarra to the best of her abilities in her sexual missions, but that depends of her mental state and her level of anxiousness.

Just before the Third Arclent War, Qum asks Simon if she could start a research project with Robin in order to develop something. If Simon agrees to have Robin help her, Qum reveals in the aftermath of the war that it is a giant bomb filled with so much of her own personal lust energy that people actually begin to develop speech patterns similar to hers. Thankfully for Megail's sake the effects are temporary and the Qum Bomb is merely used a pacifying tool by replacing most emotions with euphoria, giddiness and arousal.

Skills
Synergy skills can be used in battle only if both Qum and the specified character are present in the active party.

Starting equipment
Unlike Yarra, Qum can't use human equipment.

Weapon: None.
 * Whips
 * Sex toys

Off-hand: None.
 * Equipment

Headgear: Collar.
 * Sexy stuff for above the shoulders

Bodygear: None.
 * Sexy (under)wear

Accessory: None.
 * Sexual accessories

Tactics
She is a "white mage" character serving to heal and buff her allies with her abilities, while her physical attacks are lackluster. Add in her powerful buffing/heal skill, Arousing Aura and she becomes probably the best healer in the game. The fact that some of her heals are free and can even restore mana in some cases means she's a very powerful sustaining character, which is good because she's the primary healer for the first chapter. She kind of requires Masturbation+ later on, due to how much better Arousing Aura is compared to Arousing Kiss so, as it happens with Yarra, the use of a SP preserving item helps immensely (in Qum's case, a Dildo is better than a Buttplug because she's not expected to attack anyway). She is less than useful in some dungeons, particularly ones with enemies that can bind her sexuality, like the Unpeople for instance.

Despite having weak attack stats, you can make her a capable fighter. Her attack stat can be augmented to a decent level with the use of dresses coupled with ATK oriented whips like the Brutal Whip, albeit at the cost of lessening her healing capability. Handcuffs and Rage Cuffs are also useful, as they allow her to inflict Lust Stun and Lust Mad. The Zirantian Whip can also be used for this purpose as even with its abysmal ATK stat, it can still inflict Lust Stun. Options like these are great for when there's downtime of healing not being necessary.

Before Carina joins, she's the only party member that can revive the other members of the party during combat outside of revival potions/goo.

For most of the game she lacks any kind of offensive skill until she obtains her Synergy skills Mass Kiss and Pretty Lance, which are pretty useful against enemies vulnerable to sexual attacks. This opens up new possibilities but you don't get them until later in the game.

Relationship points
Maximum affection is 100, at which you can have a conversation with the harem girl that will lock her affection there.

Qum is basically an adorable slutty puppy. She likes being included in things, likes getting new friends, and likes being nice to people. One of the only things to offend her is forced sexual contact, such as Varia's rape or her being whored out in Stineford's brothel. With a high starting relationship value, Qum is one of the first characters you can max.

Consequences of whoring Qum
Whoring Qum out in Stineford has various consequences beyond initial affection drop. Here's a list to help plan your playthrough: It is still possible to max out Qum's affection after whoring her out if you make certain choices, but this does not prevent some consequences: As of version 0.25.2, Sierra Lee says of whoring Qum that we've "experienced most of the consequences of it already". Note that she says "most" and not "all", so there may be some further consequences.
 * Miss for refusing the offer to whore her out.
 * for whoring her out.
 * instead of for getting the Stineford Orgy sex scene.
 * instead of from the start of chapter 2.
 * instead of for fucking Altina immediately.
 * for taking the Lust Draughts from Withered Mountain.
 * Additional for dominating Varia and additional  for allowing Varia's rape. If you don't dominate Varia or allow her rape, you still only get  instead of.
 * Miss for funding Succubus brothels.
 * Miss Yarra affection for getting the Yarra x Qum sex scene during Yarra's route.
 * Qum cannot heal the head of House Thelon during Yhilin Battle aftermath. You miss a volunteer on the Forging Ties quest since for a good result you must send Carina instead of a succubus. If you try to send Qum anyway, you miss an acceptance gain (and ally during the Third Arclent War). That implies that you can't get the Sexual Pin.
 * instead of Ginasta affection for observing her conversation with Ginasta IF Qum is at 100 affection (but  regardless of whether Qum was whored IF Qum isn't at 100).
 * You lose Tertia affection if you whore Qum ( if you choose not to whore her).

So why would a player willingly sacrifice all this? For that sweet 5,000 ProN. This means an extra 15,000 ProN after reaching Yhilin, and can snowball even further in later chapters with good investments. And of course, some investments raise the affection of other girls...

Historical note: In the 0.18.x releases there were significant changes to her Relationship Points based on the decision to whore her in Stineford. If you loaded a save from previous versions, the Relationship Points of this character would suffer the following changes: These were not as bad as restarting the game and choosing to whore Qum.
 * Qum if you whored her and got the Stineford Orgy.
 * Qum if you whored her and fucked Altina immediately.
 * Qum if you whored her and allowed Varia's to be raped.

Affection titles

 * 0 Desperate Holes
 * 50 Willing Holes
 * 75 Devoted Holes

Relationships
The whole Harem: Though Qum doesn't like mean people and some NPCs, within the harem she likes pretty much everyone. Some of the more serious members confuse her, but Qum is still very fond of them.

Aka: Since Aka is accepting of her fairly early on, Qum happily reciprocates. The two often work together in sex scenes, such as the Stineford orgy. There doesn't seem to be any sexual component to their relationship (beyond what there is with all succubi) just a friendly comaraderie.

Yarra: Qum seems to look up to Yarra a little and often defers to her on decisions. When Yarra is down, Qum tries to cheer her up, and Yarra tries hard to keep anyone from hurting Qum. This can especially be seen during the Gathering, where they share many scenes and comfort each other.

Orcent: Dubbing him "Talky Orc" Qum takes a liking to Orcent from the beginning. She doesn't quite get his struggles, but she is very supportive about him and other unique orcs. They talk more during the Gathering and seem to have a strong relationship.

Robin: Qum immediately likes "Simonette" and, unlike the other succubi, doesn't pressure her on anything sexual. The two of them bond at several points over magic, Robin realizing Qum's talent and praising her when many overlooked her abilities. Later, Qum calls Robin a "nice big sister" and the two become closer, even if that isn't really an accurate description of their relationship. She can also recognize Robin by scent, as seen in the library after Robin leaves for the caves with the Doomed King armor.

Dari: Even though Unpeople disturb succubi, Qum makes more effort than the others to be friends with Dari. She even goes so far as to hug Dari, even though she feels like "an unsexy dead fish". Dari seems to understand and appreciate this, but due to Dari's nature their relationship is limited, at least for now.

Carina: Prior to recent updates, Carina and Qum didn't interact much. A recent scene might provide a hint as to why: Qum understands that Carina wants a more romantic relationship with Simon and Qum is afraid that she will ruin it. When Carina is more accepting, Qum seems as affectionate toward her as she is to everyone else.

Special notes

 * Although it doesn't affect her equipment, she doesn't wear any clothes as:

Nicknames
Qum calls only a few characters by their real names, giving the others nicknames. They also can be found in the Character's Infobox in their respective pages. It's worth noting that Qum does have some idea of everyone's name, since she's never confused when other people use real names. Based on her confusion when Aka questions the nickname "Angry Janine" it seems this is just part of how Qum's brain works.
 * Simon gets his real name remembered, though Qum often precedes it with "the" - "the Simon"
 * Yarra is called by her real name, but at one point when pressed for a nickname, Qum calls her "Succufirstslut".
