Character Summary
Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Katt was a street artist working under the monitor of Muse. She believes in art sending a message, sometimes of faith, sometimes to inspire, sometimes to prove that she's still there. This is part of her inspiration and believes that art has the power to changes the world. When brought in under Honey Lake's labels, Katt applies her artistic talent to promoting the local talent through murals, and art for albums.
Also possessing an eye for the camera, Katt handles many of the press release shots and "behind the scenes" blog entries for the various bands under the label. Some of the previous talent always mentioned Katt was the most empathetic artist they've worked with.
Yet, with Katt being a street artist who previously preferred to remain distant from the world, and let her art speak for her. Show's she herself is not very confident in her own skin, and still occasionally believes she needs to remain in the background. When not working, she's often distant and nervous of those around her.
Appearance ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Height: 5'4 Weight: 115lbs
Physical Description: Katt is a little on the shorter side, often her appearance comes off as a little mousey. In reality, most of it is because she prefers to work on her art versus her own appearance. Her hair is dyed thanks to a henna concoction to hide her blonde hair. Her eyes are a dull green, and she often prefers makeup of unusual colors.
Fashion Style: Katt dresses like a LA artist. T-shirt, jeans, her favorite leather jacket she got from a strange warehouse. Most of them have paint stains, or smudges from various art supplies. She has a few dresses when the boss insists she dresses up for a media event, but she usually does her damndest to avoid them.
Background ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Gonna fight the war, and use my art as a weapon. The battle-cry of the street artist known as Muse. Katt, a recent flunk out of the ULA fine arts department. Not for lack of talent, but lack of a proper message. Her professors expected her to say something about herself through her art. Yet, she preferred a more challenging stance. She wasn't interesting, she wanted to paint to inspire others. So she'd paint Greek deities, with a modern twist. Athena, the librarian of a forgotten bookstore. Aphrodite, forever searching for love. Even her own nickname, Muse, was depicted as a winged woman with inked wings, challenging the world with eyes ablaze.
While her art was uninspired in class, the pieces of street art she'd created caused an uproar. Eventually, pieces of her work found their way into a gallery. Katt was elated to have her persona featured in a gallery. Yet she found nobody really listened to what she was trying to say. She wanted to inspire others.
Eventually, the head of Honey Lake records solved the mystery of who was Muse. He offered her a position, a chance to create for his talent and let her art inspire. She happily accepted, and never looked back.
Miscellaneous ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Her work has been featured in galleries, yet under her moniker of "Muse".
