Her body isnt fully developed yet, but is on its way there. What she wears is a black blouse and skirt, completed with her cloak that has a hood on it. Her appearance highly resembles that of Little Red Riding Hood, which is where she got her nickname from.

Her outfit is mainly various shades of black and red, even her shoes.
Extra: Her cloak-hood: This was a gift of her grandmother, she holds it dearly. She is rarely seen with it completely off and will flip if something happened to it.

III. PERSONALITY

Personality: Marissa is very distant, not liking people at all. She will, however, warm up to those she sees as her ally, but it would be hard to make friends for her because of her cold personality. She, despite being a mute still can project her coldness in expressions or her actions, and simply walks around looking down at the ground trying to make herself the least noticable person in the room or group, then upon someone walking up to her and talking she will give them a death-stare, looking at them with pure hatred and then will just walk right past them. She is also very heartless, not sparing mercy on anyone she deems her enemy, but she is not in fact cruel. She is mean and heartless, but she does have a soul. If someone does manage to make friends with her she will do all in her power to protect those people, not wanting them to get in any type of peril like her parents. Marissa does not like arrogant people, at all, and will give anyone the stare of death if she finds any trace if arrogance, friend, ally, enemy, random person or otherwise. However, despite her cold, heartless exterior the right person can turn her very nice.

V. HISTORY

History: Marissa grew up miserable, and that models why she is currently miserable. She was born to a very poor family, she didn't even eat everyday. Her parents seemed to hate her, despite her trying so hard to get their attention. She loved them no matter what happened. There was only one small light in her endless dark chasm-her grandmother. She loved, cared for, played and joked with with her happily. No one could deplete the love she had for her grandmother, but they could definitely take her grandmother from her. One day, in her small cottage in the woods her grandmother visited. Her parents distanced themselves from Marissa, as usual. But Marissa stuck near her grandmother, playing with her and making merry. She then heard the sound of someone burst through the door, and a person walked in wearing thick armor and weilding a giant battle axe. The man didn't seem to like anyone there, as he attempted to kill every one of the people in the room. Lucky for Marissa and her mother and father, they escaped with their lives. The same could not be said about her grandmother. She didnt even hear her screams of pain while outside the house, all she heard was an eerie silence, then saw the man burst through the doors again chasing after her and her parents. They, upon instinct ran out to the woods, dodging trees and bolting left and right repeatedly. This didn't stop the man, however. He whistled, and in an instant a pack of five demonic wolves came out from the woods, surrounding Marissa and her family. The wolves lunged at all three of them, one slashing Marissa to the ground, leaving her back scratched up and bleeding badly. Her mother wasn't as lucky as Marrissa, The wolves lunged at her, one slicing her chest, one bit her ankle, causing her to fall to the ground. Then one wolf bit her throat as the others that attacked her bit and tore out other various parts of her body, killing her in seconds. Marissa's father managed to fend off one of the wolves, only to be slashed in the leg by another. The demon wolves killed him the same way that they killed Marissa's mother, and then turned to go after her next. Suddenly, almost as if a miracle a blast of dark energy killed all five of the wolves, and sent Marissa back flying. She hit a tree, and became unconsious. She woke up the next morning in a house, she didnt know where she was and started exploring, only to find a witch, The witch said that the man that attacked her was still alive, and that they had to kill him for vengeance of her parents death. Marissa didn't know who this woman was, and simply just didnt know how to kill anyone. The witch simply said she would train her, and train she did. The unknown woman taught Marissa the dark arts, and gave her the scythe that she quickly learned how to use, The witch seemed impressed with Marissa's progress. Marissa was now an assassin, she would use all that she learned to find and confront the man that killed her parents, bidding a farewell to the strange witch, but promised she would see her again one day. She found the man after returning to the woods, lurking around her house. She had her hood up, hiding her face with her scythe drawn. She and the knight had a battle, but she prevailed as winner in the end. She stabbed him through the chest, using her many days of training's learning to use her dark power to steal the man's soul, putting it in her scythe, giving it a dark aura. She, after finally redeeming herself let herself wander around aimlessely, killing all of her enemies in her path with silence and no mercy, becoming a true assassin. As for the guild, she stumbled upon Crime Sorcière after seeing how anti-evil it was, joining it because it seemingly fit her. She doesn't like being in the guild however, and she always distances herself from everyone else and tries to be alone much as possible.
