At school she was never really interested in fighting, that is why everyone was surprised when she decided to join the fencing club. She was terrible, not as bad as beginners usually are but terrible nonetheless. She started fencing pretty late, she was gonna be a senior soon and needed to get good fast. So she practiced. And practiced. She was about an advanced beginner by half the school year. When she liked something she obsessed over it. Marissa was never really an expressive person. She definitely had some issues. Though she was never outright rude she was definitely passive aggressive, she treated everyone the same but always made little passive aggressive comments to the ones she didn't like, most of it went over their head anyway. But she was ruthless, she'd use fancy words just to call someone dumb, she was definitely a model student when not using fancy words to insult someone.
