Age: 18 [July 8th, 1992; Cancer is her zodiac sign]
Gender: female
Description: The first thing that strikes you is her amazing and striking blue eyes. There's a Tiffany blue to them, but as you get closer and closer is the pupil, there's a lighter blue. They're so fragile looking, almost looking like a diamond. Marissa has very long eyelashes, naturally thick looking. Used to wear contacts at the beginning of her new life with her new family, but a year later got laser eye surgery. Now, her hair is what most girls want--after it taking 4 hours to style it each day--. It's a dark chocolate brown, almost so dark, it could look black when wet, and a few other time periods. Naturally, her hair is a wavy style with small waterfall curls at the bottom. Though whether it be a simple ponytail, or a head full of curls, she always styles it herself. Her eyebrows are arched, and waxed/plucked pretty often, but to the right extent. Marissa's skin color is close to a pale [because it's very hard for her to tan], but from doing baseball, soccer, and a few other sports it's all evened out to a normal skin color. Maris [Muh-Riss] has a heart-shaped face, while she has a birthmark on her upper chest and neck. Her nose is slightly straight, but nothing to be proud of or anything. High cheekbones, and a nice bone structure overall. Her lips are a nice pink, if not, a pink-ish cherry color. They're plump, and most of the time, coated with a small, thin layer of lip gloss. Marissa's teeth are a shiny white, and very straight, also being very sharp like canine teeth. About twenty pounds underweight [but not for a bulimic reason, she's just petite], and at maximum, an inch and a half shorter than average. She has long skinny legs, with some nice, ankles. Usually her fingernails are manicured with 'For Audrey' [a Tiffany blue that most people she meets says compliments her eyes], but underneath those manicured fingernails, or small white indents are marks, bruises made from doing her normal day routine. Maris [her nickname, but not used very often by a lot of people] now wears mostly clothes that cost atleast 50 or 75 dollars, and her purses, that a whole 'nother story. She gives off the air of a city girl, but she's so more than that. She loves to be unique, even though she 'changed' [see in history], there's still a part of her that wants to stand out. But in a good way, unlike her 'old self'. Marissa loves to dress up in a casual, but cute way. Her normal style is denim shorts, graphic tees, flats, and maybe a Tiffany charm bracelet given by her twin sister, Rebecca. She can be pretty natural when it comes to make-up, but since she has a view insecurities, sometimes she'll put on a moderate amount of make-up. Usually it's just some lip gloss, a touch of mascara [though it's not really needed since her eyelashes are already so long], maybe a bit of foundation or blush, and some eye liner [though she uses eye liner pretty rarely]. Though, if it's a formal event, she'll go to be right amount, 'cause too much is ugly, you know? She'll pretty much just have a 200 dollar dress, some expensive stilhetoes, and a little bit more of make-up than usual. Mostly, some classic red lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, and foundation. Her posture used to be pretty bad, though it was unrecognizable when she walked around, but slumped always in chairs, but with the help of Wii Fit, in 6 months of an hour of playing balance games everyday, she got pretty good posture. Just every now and again she'll slump in a comfy chair. You'll always see her with her Ginza Tanaka purse, with her prized possessions inside. A few things of make-up [just in-case she needs to re-apply], her iPhone 4, the keys to her Lamborghini Reventon, gum [if she gets really upset, she NEEDS a stick of gum], and a wad of cash [she doesn't use a wallet, just a rubber band around a three thousand dollars. Just a sufficient amount, just in case]. These are just a few of her prized possessions that will fit in her purse, she has many others such as her Mac [facebook, and WordPad is basically all she uses on there, though] and Yorkshire Terrier, Roxy. Maris used to be insecure about her looks, but got over it for the most part, just isn't comfortable about people talking about how pale she can be or used to be. On her shoulder blade is a scar from Taiwan, but is almost hardly noticable from the many surgeries performed.
Personality: Ah, Marissa is a very organized lady, as she refers to herself. But hates when people call her a neat freak. Maris can be a really giving and sweet person, which is the old girl inside oh her, but isn't afraid to snap and hiss at you. Marissa has her good moments, but her bad too. She a little greedy now, and has always gotten too jealous, too easily. I wouldn't say a halo was on top of her head, but not the devil's horns either. She can be a bit bipolar, and knows it. She dreams of never going to Taiwan, but knew it was her destiny to become well, the 'Marissa Clarice Holten' she is now. She Knows this wish is impossible to come true, only in her dreams can these thing happen. All she can do about it is mourn and cry, whenever she's alone and in a corner. All she needs is love. She's never had a real relationship, maybe a few hundred dates that meant nothing [especially when they wanted to get to know her, asking her what her past was], and this is her little secret, but she's never gotten one kiss. Marissa has had many opportunities, but wants to make it worth waiting for and passing the story to her kids. She used to be very religious, and close to God, praying everyday that someday she'll be liked and loved, but ever since the book was published, every minute she's inched away from God. Marissa's weakness is the truth. After years, starting when they went to Taiwan when she was 10, she all thought it was a hallucination, a dream, a joke. She still doesn't know the truth, and even though she's very forgetful [and is losing a lot of her memory], she remembers every detail of Taiwan. Seeing her father die on the ground, being adopted by a new family, but still not feeling welcome. Maris' biggest fear is snakes, spiders, and cockroaches. At the sight of them, she'll scream. Especially those flying cockroaches in her home state, Florida. Those gave her nightmares. Though anyone who has seen her scream at bugs knows this fear, all don't know her fear of the past. Rebecca actually completely lost her memory of the past, so she doesn't even know what her [old] parents first names were, like Marissa. Marissa can tell you that. Wanna know a good way to make her angry? Pull a prank on her. Any prank will do, that'll tick her off. A good way to may her depressed is ask her about her past [obviously]. now, would ya like to make her happy? Simply comfort her when she's having a hard time, or help her in her call of S.O.S. Marissa mostly needs to learn to tell herself the truth, and be over it, simply. Marissa's favorites... Italian food, Dr. Pepper/water, Pop music, Realistic/descriptive books [Pretty Little Liars being her favorite series], baseball. She's a fan to watch and play. Marissa's pretty good at it, tell you the truth. She also loves lacrosse. To spend a weekend, she probably want to go to a baseball game, then shopping afterwards. Go by Pinkberry or Panera Bread, and the next day travel in first class. She just loves to travel. Wanna get her a great gift? She hearts jewelry. Whether it be a necklace or a bracelet, she loves her jewelry. Usually Maris is pretty patient with others, but if you make her uncomfortable, she'll have a breakdown. By the way, did I add she knows karate? She isn't afraid to use her black belt powers. When she's depressed or angry, she shops. Like, really shops. Even though she just lost over four thousand dollars, it makes her feel better about herself. One of her favorite shows being Prank'd [Wipeout or Locked Up Abroad are her favorites], one way to make her 'lol' is pull a prank on someone [just not her, she finds that annoying]. Though Marissa is very outgoing, and the heart of the party, she can be shy. I would describe Marissa as, 'pretty, prepared, emotional/dramatic'. If Marissa could change her name it would probably be Isabel. She loves that name, period.
Likes: Her house, JEWELRY, prized possessions, the colors sky blue and light grass green, Roxy [her Yorkshire Terrier], guys, romantic evenings, weddings, Valentine's Day, the treadmill, movies [horror, romantic, comedy, action], her family [adoptive and old]. Chocolate [she doesn't have a lot though]. Kids, animals in general.
Dislikes: Snoopy people, her past, rats/mice, cockroaches, spiders, impatient people [though she is impatient herself]. Low temperment, coffee.
History: When she was nine, she was the geek. She was the valedictorian, and the one who got most study awards, because she had nothing better to than study. In her younger years she was ridiculed of not being a 'social butterfly' and being petite. She was called many names, '4-eyed' [she wore glasses], and many more than still remain in her mind. She told herself to not care, and told herself she was strong, and that the only reason they ridiculed her, was because they too, had nothing better to do, even though they're probably the ones that really are those names. Marissa couldn't ever solve these problems, like getting contacts, because she lived in a poor family. It was the last two weeks of elementary school [she didn't take the summers off, so she skipped a grade.] and then they were going for a month vacation at Taiwan [they chose to spend family time [and her father got her a Tiffany necklace as a gift] after inheriting some money from her grandmother]! They thought it would be a blast, but, it wasn't. A murdurer had recently escaped prison, and was on the loose. Somhow he got into the garage and spotted Marissa taking laundry out of the dryer to take upstairs by her mother's order. The gun was held to her head, and basically the S.W.A.T team came as he used their bodies as a defense from the guns, and her mother, father, and her baby sister, Melissa all died. In order to get back to America, they robbed the bank, stealing only what they needed to make it back home. They successfully made it back home, before Marissa and her twin, Rebecca, were put in a foster home. They were luckily adopted by a very very wealthy couple [the Dad was an author, while the mother was a cardiovascular surgeon] after the woman had miscarried. After a year of working, the Dad published the book, and it made a lot of money. Marissa then became your official 'it' girl, the 'jerk', the person you who love to hate.
Other: Marissa is based off of me. (: I used to have a Yorkshire Terrier, my description resembles me alright, and our personality is pretty close! (: [But her history does not match me at all]. And also, Marissa has a heart condition that could be deadly [though it is not that bad at the moment]. By the way, her old father is actually her step-dad, her mom and him got married when the girls were four, just he treated them like they were his actual daughters. Her half-sibling is soon to be introduced.

I nodded and took his plate. I set them in the sink and started doing the dishes.

I rolled my eyes and offered him a hand.

I took Leslie into my arms.

"You do a lot"

I nodded and started rincing everything. "Yeah. All I did for all 21 of us. Counting me, atleast." I shrugged, thinking it was nothing.

I went into the kitchen and started eating.
