Back-story:
It's quite a mystery how the strange shadow girl who called herself Marissa came to be, some say she's the "spirit" of a young girl had run away into the Dark Misty hollows a long time ago and never come back. Others say she's just some weird creature that "the girl in the forest" (Raven) created. Marissa doesn't remember much herself, all she remembers is that she had been wandering this lonely forest for who knows how long by now, occasionally she sees a few people venture through it but she never saw any of them again after that. Marissa sometimes ventured outside of the forest when the sun was down, looking at the town nearby which she still hadn't had the courage to visit; there were too many people around for her comfort.
Supplies:
- A slightly nicked but still useable swiss army knife (it's reasonably sharp) it was found by her laying in the grass and probably dropped by a villager that had passed through the forest.
- A small but useful black comb (how do you think she keeps her hair that straight o-o)
- A rather cute looking stuffed white bunny, something she tended to carry with her out of instinct
Theme Song: (N/A since I'm in China ;-;)
Extra Information: Marissa is able to function like any normal human (only in her human form of course) and can eat and drink food and water (but is not required to).. However what she requires if she retains her human form for long enough is sleep, and often times she does so during the day. Any items she's carrying gains the properties of a shadow as well when she does (in her shadow form) until they're dropped from her grasp, this is because almost anything she comes in physical contact with does too, but only when she's in her shadow form. (doesn't apply to large terrain objects like houses trees, large rocks, bushes, stationary furniture etc since even her shadow form does not possess enough power to do that)
