Description

Someone on Instagram mentioned wanting to know my characters stories! 
I also got this age up kind of meme from keytaro on here. So here we go! Some backstory and timeline-ish area!!
This piece is also quite sketchy because I was just having fun w/ it lmao I might update it with cleaner art but I dunno lmao, I think this is nice.
But here we go!!! (also I actually did not know Audrey started hers at age 8 too but wow nice ok sorry again, here we go)

Age 8: Quincy aged normally up until this time. She was the daughter of an English duke and her mother was an Asian servant under his rule. The maid was able to bear the child and even continue the secret relationship, being a secret little family. Quincy also has a younger brother. Throughout their childhood, they were best friends. It is unknown to Quincy if her mother is alive or not, but she left when Quinn was around 10. It put a lot of stress on the girl, but her father was still alive and well. Though, she noticed she didn't grow up as fast as the other girls she knew. She was shorter, smaller in general and looked younger while others bloomed. Something was wrong. The same happened with her brother.

Age 108: Realistically, she looks like she's in her early teens, but with makeup and fancy clothing, she looks a lot older. Now, her father is long gone. She held his hand as he passed and bore the weight of the family. Many times, she had to play a distant family member to make up for her looks until she became a princess of sorts. The male figures in her family that looked after her during this time married her off to another rich family. Her brother went missing around this time as well, which put even more stress on her. She lasted through the marriage, doing this and that. She never bore a child, though. She just didn't let it happen. Mostly because she was afraid they'd turn out like her, when she didn't even know what she was. She made it around 20 years, looking fair and young (joking about how she had the fountain of youth) before running away and going into hiding.

Age 208: Quinn felt liberated. After being in so many abusive relationships, she was free. She didn't have anything holding back and she found a comfortable way of living off of the land, even with a small farm of her own. During this time she encountered interesting people. Some were kind, some taught her about witchcraft (something she didn't know of until then) and some were very, very awful people. (Sometimes ruining her farm, wrecking her home and hurting her.) The late 1800s made it harder for her to stay in hiding, though. There were more people everywhere, the industrial era is slowly setting in. Though during this time, she learned a considerable amount about pagan witchcraft, even writing her own spell book. She keeps learning from now on.

Age 328: it's the 20s and Quinn is finally looking older! (With the help of makeup) Quinn is in Shanghai china during this time. The self-loathing just starting to set in. She's living comfortably, a boyfriend giving her a safe place to stay if she paid with her body. Which she didn't mind. She loved him at the time, after all. She could dazzle anyone with her smiles, but it was more than forced here. She missed her mother and brother. Before this, she didn't have enough time to think about stuff like this. Before, when she was on her own, she just had her wits and fought to live. Found food, cared for  her garden, encountered people that might harm her. So now, living comfortably, she had all the time in the world to think about it. This is when she finds out how much she likes alcohol and cigarettes. It's difficult, but she keeps herself in check.

Age 378: The 70s roll around and she's been in japan for a while, mostly for the fashion. Quinn also wanted to get away from her now exes. Quinn had a knack for choosing bad guys to be with. She had been in China for too long and rumors started spreading. Little shout outs in the paper were about her (though there was never any names, she knew it was her.) She wouldn't be surprised if her exes were behind it. Or perhaps the relationships she broke up to get a part of it.With all of the bad choices and pressure on her, she began to lash out. People would call her hysteric, crazy even.  It just fueled her. Between now and the present, she got into a lot of hard drugs and developed a dependence on alcohol to get through the days. She feels she's been alive too long without any family of hers, and it's taking a severe toll on her.

Age 398: She moved to America during this time. After developing depression through the past decade, she rarely takes care of herself. She let her hair grow out,  lost a considerable amount of weight (that made her look younger as well,) lived wherever she could. It could be staying on one person's couch one day, to staying in someone else's bed another day.  Her self-worth plummeted over the years and she did anything she could to get high.  Anything to let go of how she felt every day. She had a considerable amount of bad relationships at this time. (physical and mental abusers, but I won't get into that.)  

Just know she's at an extremely fragile time in her life. though in early 2000 she meets Silas at a party while he's visiting friends and they hit it off pretty well. He truly cares about her and finds her interesting when her sober self peaks through. There are a lot of ups and downs, but he helps her. It takes a long time but he tries to wean her off alcohol and drugs, but not with much success. She still sleeps with other people, both men and women after they become a relationship but it doesn't strain them. He's very understanding and forgives her because she knows she at least owes him her honesty.

So they work. She's honest, he listens, and things are usually okay. Sometimes they argue like any couple, especially with how Quincy is at this part in her life (angry and self-loathing, lashing out at loved ones, and not used to being loved and cared for)

Age 424:
Quinn is fairly healthy right now. She's gained some weight and is comfortable in her skin. She still parties and drinks, but its not like how it used to be. She knows she can handle herself especially when she's with friends. She's mostly off drugs, but she can and will fall off the wagon every now and then, especially when people she thought were her friends manipulate her. But other than that, life is good. She's moved in with Silas and they have a really good life together right now. And for a job, Quinn helps Charlisa with her fashion design. (Charlisa is a vampire that was recently converted, but Quinn has a lot of fashion advice because she lived through it.) What Quinn doesn't know is that her mother has always been near her, she just didn't know it. Quinn still looks for her brother.

All in all, this is what I have for her. I'm pretty satisfied with her backstory because I'm AWFUL at coming up with them! But yeah, here's a look into Quinn's life.
