A woman with long red curls and deep blue eyes,<strong>Marissa Mericles</strong>normally strikes an impressive, if diminutive, figure for those who meet her. She stands a whopping 4'7" in height, her proud, slender womanly curves often accentuated by the tight clothing she wears. She looks to be either American or Canadian in nationality, most likely.<br/><br/>Marissa wears a deep cherry-red short-sleeved V-necked blouse thrown over her shoulders and done up entirely in front with crisscrossing laces from top to bottom. It tapers around her waist, meaning that while it leaves a fair amount of cleavage and the top of her breasts exposed, there's no real way to remove it in one piece without unlacing the blouse first. On her hips is a matching short skirt, the hem flowing down to near her knees, and similarly done up along its right side with thin, but intricate crisscrossing laces. Under both laced strips can be seen a thin stretch of skin whenever she moves, but nothing too revealing.<br/><br/>She wears a pair of simple black dress shoes, shoelaces neatly tied off and tucked into her shoes. On her right wrist is a rather bulky-looking watch that, though it looks nondescript from afar, still seems a bit out of place for her. She normally carries a black leather handbag along with her, stuffed full with all sorts of junk that she can stuff within.<br/><br/>From up close, the watch has several interesting features. It has a little metal needle laid flat against the outside face of the watch, which looks like it can be adjusted and twisted to face in nearly any direction. Beneath it, the analog clock has four hands, not three, that circle around the clock face, the fourth one being longer and thinner than the second hand, and very prone to vibrating around the 12-3 region of the clock face. As well, interestingly, all the numbers of the watch are spelled out, One to Twelve, instead of being expressed in numerals...<br/>
