"I worry at the end of my life
You will be the only one I remember"
— Excerpt of Miss Quelcy's poem, "Letter to my Worst Student"
Miss Quelcy is a high school art teacher, and head leader of the Possum Springs Poetry Society. She can be seen at the library, with fellow poets Selmers and Fisherman Jones.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Miss Quelcy is a tall, blue bird with a long yellow beak. Her hair is combed forward into three points. She also wears glasses along with an orange collared dress-shirt, brown pants, and black shoes.
She is seen with phone in hand, every so often taking notes for her Poetry Society club.
Personality[]
Miss Quelcy is a resourceful and pragmatic individual, although at times she could also be seen as pessimistic. She seems to take her job as an art teacher seriously enough to go above and beyond in getting her students the necessary supplies.
Background[]
Miss Quelcy was from a large city, but eventually found herself in the small town of Possum Springs, for career reasons.
When Mae was in high school, Miss Quelcy was the art teacher. Bea somewhat admires her as an "art survivalist" as she managed to make the art program work despite it not being well-funded, including herself. One of her poems mentions a student named Brian had keyed her car and she considers him her worst student.
Outside of school, she seems to lead the nascent Possum Springs Poetry Society and take notes on her phone.
Trivia[]
- Prior to the library chapter, Miss Quelcy could actually be seen as a background character during Harfest.
- There is cut content in the game's .yarn files (files for the games' dialogue) that features Mae and Miss Quelcy having a short conversation in the Trolley Tunnel. The conversation they have is about Miss Quelcy having a phone, her art class, and her getting slightly annoyed by Mae's insistence that her knowing how to use a phone is a weird idea.
- There is more cut content from the same .yarn file that features Mea and Miss Quelcy talking about how she found students in her art class looking at "... visual reference", a nod to pornography. She mentions, in the same conversation, trying to get her class's anatomy for figure drawing studies to double as sex ed 101, despite the school not allowing teachers to teach sex ed.
- In the final cut content from the same .yarn file, Miss Quelcy gives Mae "advice" by telling her to run as far away from Possum Springs as she possibly can, and that she's only in the town for the paycheck.
- Cut content paints Miss Quelcy out to have had a bigger role in the game, than what her appearance is now.
