Marissa Lagoon

## Personality

Marissa is fun-loving, free, and a party girl. She loves the summers and loves to play. Swimming is her favorite activity and she has an strange obsession with bubbles. She is used to gossip and being in a group of friends due to her environment in the Mermaids' Lagoon. She doesn't necessarily agree with this idea, she is fine with just being around one friend, but she does like to hear secrets and likes to know the information on all the latest, well, everything. Rissa hates to gets sunburnt and is very serious about her looks. Do not mistake her as a popular mean girl, because she's *not*. She's actually very nice and isn't that popular. Marissa is very giggly and is often caught smiling. She likes to make others happy and sees the summer sun and it's sunshine as symbolism of happiness and fun. She also finds jokes very funny and loves to tell them herself. Along with all of this Rises has an extra dose of weirdness, but doesn't see being weird as a bad thing. Being quirky and weird is a very *good* thing to her. When others ask her if she is a Royal or a Rebel, she says that she's in between. And, no, she's not a Roybel. She says she's not any of them, she's in between all of them.

## Appearance

Marissa has fairly tan skin with dark brown hair with natural sparkles, and has a beautiful streak of silver in it. She will often times wear pearls and seashells as accessories, as well as decorative combs and bracelets. She has beautiful sea blue eyes that are slightly purple near the pupils. Her eyes are wide and cheerful as well as her smile. Her lips are naturally deep in color, being a lovely pink. Her tail is very sparkly and shiny, and will change colors according to her mood. When she has legs, the sparkles in her hair will change color to her mood, because it would be really weird if her legs changed colors. She will often wear skirts and tank tops and she likes both sandals and high heels, but she prefers heels. Most of her jewelry is made of silver, and she loves to wear mood rings and necklaces to match her hair and/or tail.

## Name

"Marissa" means "Of the sea" and starts with "M" like "Mermaid". Her last name is "Lagoon" because the mermaids of Neverland are known to spend most if their time in a place called the Mermaids' Lagoon. She is called "Rissa" or "Issa" for short. But she *really* doesn't like being called "Mary". Seriously, don't.

Pronounced: *"Muh-riss-uh"*

## Family

Lillian's mother is a mermaids from Neverland that lives in the Mermaids' Lagoon along with her mer-man husband. Her father has a brother who is the father of Lillian Mermaid. This would make Lillian her cousin. She also has another cousin named Sean Lagoon, a merman who lives in the Mermaids' Lagoon.

## Friends

Marissa is friends with her cousin, Lillian Mermaid, because she has visited Neverland multiple times because her father is a mer-man from Neverland. She is also friends with Parker Pan. She also gets along with Briar Beauty well because they both have a in-flight personality, but is definitely not her best friend. Because Rissa hangs out with Lilli so much, she has grown very accompanied to Lilli's friends, Flamera Phoenix, Cinder Phoenix, Kowaly Lion, and Forrest Wizard, who is Flamera's boyfriend.

## Romance

Marissa had a crush on Parker once, but he figured it out and she decided just to be his friend. This actually made their friendship better than it was before. Marissa also gets very annoyed with Lillian because she won't tell her who she has a crush on!

## Pet

Marissa has a pair of twin crocodiles, the first being a boy named Bubbles, the second being a girl named Sunshine.  Rissa is very careful to keep them away from Jewel Hook, for she is terribly frightened of crocs. Niether of them have swallowed a clock, but it is unknown if one if them is going to be the next crocodile that is going to scare the next Captain Hook.

## Abilities

Marissa was born with a tail, but after a while she could change her tail into legs at will, very similar to Lillian's powers. But, unlike Lilli, her tail will naturally change colors according to her emotions and feelings. When she has legs, it's the sparkles in her hair that change color. Her tail is often a silvery light blue that fades into pink about half way through. Because of her weirdness, she likes to keep a chart of her tail's colors:

I'm serious. That's her list.
