# Ida Davis

Glenn Quagmire's parent, a transgender woman and Vietnam War veteran.

## Core facts

- **Voiced by:** Seth MacFarlane
- **First appearance:** Quagmire's Dad (S08E18, 9 May 2010), in which she has gender reassignment surgery and takes the name Ida
- **Credited appearances:** none recorded in the source's principal cast or guest lists. The source covers at most ten voice credits per episode, so this does not mean she never appears.

## Relationships

- **Children:** [Glenn Quagmire](glenn-quagmire.md), [Brenda Quagmire](brenda-quagmire.md) and Gary Quagmire
- **Grandchildren:** Anna Lee and Courtney
- **Former spouse:** Crystal Quagmire
- **On-and-off relationship:** [Brian Griffin](brian-griffin.md)

## Background

She is a military veteran and was a war hero in Vietnam.

## Common errors to avoid

- **She is Glenn's parent, not a separate relative.** Ida is the name she took after transitioning; she was previously known as Daniel Quagmire.
- **Use her current name and she/her pronouns,** as the source does.

## Key episodes

- S08E18 Quagmire's Dad: her first appearance
