The Staff of Cushions: Part B (Patreon)

A piece recommended to me via my Suggestion Box here on Patreon.

A continuation of this ( link ), here's the rest of the Cushions Bar and Grill line-up, as I wasn't able to fit all of them into a single image (for obvious reasons). =p

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tessa Taylor
Working as something of a big sister to the rest of the staff, Tessa Taylor (age 31) spends a decent portion of her time just making sure that everyone else is keeping out of trouble and actually doing their job.

Despite the constant headache of being the "mama lion" of the group though, she generally has a positive outlook on things, and is always happy to help out her coworkers whenever she can; usually by offering words of encouragement and support, or even just by offering an ear to hear out their problems.

In addition, the 5'10" puma acts as something of a foil to Ms. White, in that she's usually the first to know about Eileen's various plans to bring in customers, and is usually the one that tries to implement them in a way that'd actually help the business (rather than potentially cause any lawsuits). Tessa also tends to convince Eileen to be a... kinda good boss, usually by playing up her desire to "one-up" her rival Linda, whenever possible.

As an example...

Tessa - You know Ms. White, I hear that Ms. Gazongas offers her employees like 4 weeks of paid time off...
Eileen - WHAT!? THAT WHORE!!!
Eileen - Well, I'm going to give all of my employees 6 weeks of paid time off, and a pay raise!
Eileen - Let's see what that trollop thinks about that!

Gloria Peyton
Standing at a height of 8'0" (or roughly 244 cm), Gloria Peyton (age 25) is perhaps the tallest member of the Cushions waitstaff, and also the shyest; this is because in spite of her sheer height, the timid Clydesdale is something of a gentle giant, as she tries very hard not to inadvertently hurt anyone (though "squishing" into other people tends to be a fairly common occurrence with her).

Originally wanting to be hired on as a cook, she ultimately wound up as a waitress for Cushions instead; partially due to her physique, but also due to the fact that she failed the cooking test of her job application on a spectacular level (namely by giving Ms. White food poisoning, twice, in the same day).

Which is especially ironic, considering how she actually is a pretty good cook; she just tends to get nervous and make mistakes while under pressure is all. ^_^;

Kelly Martin
While perhaps the youngest waitress working at Cushions Bar and Grill, Kelly Martin (age 21) is considered by many to be the "biggest" amongst the waitstaff; even surpassing Donna's massive derriere by several inches.

As for how a 5'4" tall ferret was able to get such a plush posterior however, is anyone's guess; for not even Kelly seems to know the answer to such a question (in fact, she doesn't seem to really know much of anything, to be honest; as her rather ditzy nature makes it hard to get any straight answers out of her). She's an amazingly sweet girl though, and is quite the treat amongst the restaurant patrons apparently; making her something of a "star player" amongst the rest of the restaurant staff.

Be careful not to be in any of her blind spots however, as she didn't earn the nickname "Wrecking Ball Kelly" for nothing. =p

Anyway, I believe that's all of them; so thanks for taking a look, and I hope you all enjoyed the idea (which by the way, the hope is to do even more with them in the future, but only time will tell on just how soon I'll be able to explore their characters further). =3
