Quiero is a verb form from querer - to want/love. It means 'I want'.
Quiera is another form from the same verb. It is a present subjunctive, used in different (grammatical) situations.
Verbs in Spanish do not 'agree' in the sense you refer to. No matter who is doing the 'wanting', it's still: 'quiero' for `I want', 'quieres' for 'you want', 'quiere' for he, she or it wants, etc.
Agreement is a characteristic of adjectives, which often agree with the nouns they describe.
e.g. un hombre viejo - an old man una mujer vieja - an old woman dos hombres viejos - two old men dos mujeres viejas - two old women
if you look it up it means want... and there is no quiero there is only quiera so I don't beleave its gender specific her is a link to what I found http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/quiera
