Nerissa Clark

[Nerissa Clark]

Name: Nerissa Abigail Clark
Birthday: October 25th 2000 17 years old (will turn 18)

Personality: Nerissa is very driven and focused. She is controlling and can be very bossy and she strives for organization and perfection. However she is not completely heartless even though she can act like a colossal bitch at times. Because she does team sports and is in the drama club she knows that other people have feelings too, but unless they voice them out she doesn’t usually take notice. She also can play dirty when the situation so requires.

Looks:
• Height: 5'11" ( 180 cm)
• Hair Color: black medium length hair that she controls with hairbands

• Eye Color: hazel brown

Backstory: Nerissa realized from very early on that she liked nice things, and to get those nice things she had to work hard to be able to make enough money to get those nice things. Pretty soon she also understood that her family could not afford but a fraction of those nice things she wanted. They could keep themselves fed and clothed comfortably but not for new toys for her and her sisters. Her father has a habit of sometimes seeking comfort from the bottle which caused him to be laid off. Making her mother the breadwinner, which to Nerissa was shameful. Needless to say she feels ashamed to be poor and she feels ashamed of her family, so she solved it the only way she knew how. By being a good student she kept her parents away from school and by not having friends that were too close she kept them from meeting her family. She had friends but she would only meet them at public areas or at their house. If someone gave her a ride home she had them drop her off at the fancy suburb area near her, wait for the car to leave and when it was gone she walked home.

With her sisters her relationship is like she thinks an older sister should be. She tries to correct them on their mistakes and better them which annoys them more than anything. 

Nerissa tries to keep her grades up because that is something she is very proud of. She also joined the volleyball team where she is able to let out steam with the exercise, but her dream is to become a star in Hollywood. She knows with her looks she can’t be a Hollywood hottie, but with hard work and determination and talent she is sure to become famous. That is why she wants to attempt to be an actress and a writer and a director if possible. She can act and has a knack for the comedic characters. She likes to sing but is well aware that she has a terrible singing voice.
She tried to get the student council presidency title by campaigning hard and even attempted to blacken Philip’s name by getting pictures and videos of him flirting with multiple girls and sharing them online. Somehow he pulled through and won the election, but she is still part of the student council.  She however managed to get the vice presidency of the drama club, taking her job very seriously. Even getting in fights with Veronica over issues when the teacher was demanding too much of them.
