Quintessa:

'''Quintessa''' (born August 4, 1988) is an [[artist]] and designer from the United States. She is a retro and indie fur in the furry community. Her character Quintessa, or Tessa or Stripes for short, is a cheshire cat that somewhat reflects her creator, Kat, in real life.

== Quintessa, the Cheshire Cat ==
Quintessa, sometimes called Tessa or Stripes for short, is an artsy and counter-cultual cheshire cat. She is now a fish out of water again in small town suburan living after living in the huge city for a few years. She is a costume shop seamstress and in the local independent costume shop. She creates costumes for different plays, time periods, cultual genres, and the like. Her strong point is historical costume. Anything from the Victorian era or 20th Century are her favorites to work on. Although she spends all day toiling over a sewing machine or thinking up new costume ideas, she wouldn't have her life anyother way. Even during the costume rush called Halloween.

Having independent an coutner-cultural streak, Tessa is oftern faced with conformity by people she meets in her new home and from her past. Her goal is to be her own person with her own views on life rather then having ideas and thoughts force fed to her. Being this way Tessa strays away from the mainstream ideas and fads. She preferes to shop for herself at second-hand or thrift shops and get her grocceries at local farmers markets, when she can. She dispises large box chain stores for the fact that they take over a town and run small independent shops out of business. Tessa also considers herself a bit of a feminist and environmentalist as well.

Being artsic can lead to Tessa into some new Do-it-Yourself projects. Be it making "new" tea tins out of old cookie tins, or making garland out of Thank-You and Christmas cards there's always some new idea coming to mind. She has an idea to make her own curtians, pillows, and other fun things in the future.

==Conventions==
Quintessa has been to two conventions since officially joining the fandom in 2011.

*[[AnthroCon]]: 2012 (Saturday only)
*[[Furlaxation]]: 2012

She hopes to go to many more in the future!

== Quintessa in Real Life==
Quintessa, better known as Kat, was born in Ebensburg, PA on August 4, 1988. She is the oldest of three children and was thought to become a musician by her parents as a baby. But as Kat was growing up, she showed talents in the visual arts as an artist or designer and had talent in ballet and jazz in the performing arts. Kat decided that she wanted to go to art school at 10 years of age, but didn't know which area of art to look into. It wasn't until she watched a sci-fi movie and fell for the costumes that she wanted to focus on fashion design. It was at this age that Kat left the private Catholic school she attended since pre-school to another local and public school, Central Cambria, that supported the visual arts.

Once Kat transfered, she grew artistically and as an individual. She started showing her artwork at the local Art in Bloom art show every spring while working at the family restaurant, Penn Gables. Kat was also a member of the Central Cambria High School marching band as a color guard. She was also a member of the Art Club and was the club secretary for two years. She graduated high school in 2007.

Kat moved to Philadelphia, PA to attend college at Moore College of Art & Design in the Fashion Design program. Through her college career, Kat had artwork displayed on the Philadelphia Wall at Moore as a freshman and took part in the Art in City Hall in her junior year. Kat created four outside critic projects in children's wear, swimwear, men's wear, and evening wear. In her senior year, she created a five look collection, Night at the Heavy Metal Theater, that was inspired by music from Nightwish and Apocalyptica. Kat graduated from Moore in May, 2011 with her BFA in Fashion Design.

Kat is currently an Assistant Costume Design at the Players Guild Theater in Canton, OH. She is also working on her fashion and art studio, Cheshire Couture Studios, and has shown her Night at the Heavy Metal Theater collection at the RAW Cleveland showcase in April, 2012.

== Cheshire Couture Studios ==
Cheshire Couture Studios is Quintessa's dream in the making. Cheshire Couture Studios is Quintessa's independent art, costume design, and fashion design studio. She is currently designing retro and vintage inspired fashion designs and comic book character inspired costumes. Quintessa is also getting a proper office space organized and set up to handle future commissions and projects.

Quintessa will open up commissions on a pubilc basic starting January 11, 2013. She will have a pricelist posted on her livejournal by that date. Commissions will be on an ask when needed basis instead of holding slots.

'''Quintessa''' (born August 4, 1988) is an [[artist]] and designer from the United States. She is a gothic and alternative fur in the furry community, but is very sweet and friendly despite looking dark and gloomy.

== Quintessa ==
Quintessa, or Quintessa Ophelia Deathlight in full, is a cheshire cat character that is an inmate the the Wonderland Asylum of Lost and Unfortunate Souls. Before she was committed Quintessa was a prodigy in ballet and the visual arts. She was the only woman at the time to have solo art shows in the salons in her area of Wonderland and was famous for her ballet performances. Behind closed doors and out of the public eye, Quintessa suffered from Borderline Personality Disorder. One night in her lowest lows and extreme measure in her dressing room, she was caught doing self harm to herself by an admirer who managed to sneak into her dressing room. Not wanting the family disgraced, her parents committed her the the Wonderland Asylum of Lost and Unfortunate Souls not one second after the doctor left the room in order to keep the family name on good terms with society.

Quintessa was subjected to many treatments, such as electro shock therapy and solitary confinement, that made everyday torture. She didn't eat or sleep much since she would be to scared of death most days, even weeks. Then one night she had an idea of an escape plan to leave the asylum behind. She took a tea spoon that was the only thing from her life before she was locked away to dig a tunnel from her cell to the outside world. Her cell was on the ground floor and she had quite a bit of furniture in her cell, she was able to easily hide the tunnel every night. It took Quintessa three months to complete her tunnel to the outside world. She had a few moments in those three months where she almost got caught.

After Quintessa escaped to her freedom she was on the run. It seemed that not two seconds after she escaped the asylum guards were looking for her all across Wonderland. She was running and taking shelter in various spots in the forest until she came across an old and run down Victorian mansion. Quintessa decided to call the decrepit mansion her home. She mostly made her home in the attic since she used that room more often then the rest of the home. In the attic she found an old art easel, antique Singer sewing machine, and trunks and wardrobes of old Victorian and early 1900s clothing. Which she was glad to get rid of her asylum clothing upon discovering the vintage and antique clothes.

Seeing that she needed an income of sorts she looked for a job. Quintessa tried for two weeks and found nothing. That is until she got a job as a Mortician's Assistant at the Wonderland Nevermore Cemetery. She mostly sweeps and make sure everything is tidy for use. She has developed a love for the Mortician, Mortimer. When she isn't working at the Cemetery, Quintessa is in her favorite spot in the attic being her own seamstress by altering the antique clothes she found, painting, or writing in her journal.

However, due to hearing about the guards searching Wonderland for her she has developed a severe case of Insomnia out of fear of having to be sent back to the asylum.
