PERSONALITY: Three words come to mind when one would think of Marisa- Carefree, Thief and INSANE. She will happily go around doing what she wants to do, even causing trouble. She is sly though, and will try to twist words and situation to gain an advantage or even get away with something. She will lie even if it's obvious that she is the cause of everything.

She is well known for her thieving habits. She is so bold that she will go to the owner and tell them she is 'borrowing' the item she is after and take off with the target. She is a bit of a packrat; all of the items she steals will end up in the same place, being wherever she's calling home at that time. If you ask her where the item is, she will point to a random pile of stolen items unless she is actively using it.

Unknown to most, Marisa works very hard for everything she does. Unlike others who are naturally gifted with magic, Marisa is an ordinary human. Every spell or ability she uses is a product of many sleepless nights along with her sweat, blood and tears. She is well-versed in the art of breaking down a magical spell or ability to its base roots and making the spell her own to use. A good portion of her time is spent on this, when not flying around stealing and causing a bit of trouble. In this AU this mostly goes towards her own powers. She isn't one to say how hard she works on them when others are not looking. She like it to seem like she can effortlessly make one of her stars explode and is working hard on doing the same with her lasers.

There are a few things that set her off. She isn't inclined to talk about her family; it is assumed at a young age, her and her father had a falling out, which lead her to her teacher. In that same line, she won’t speak of her former teacher as well; Marisa has not spoken of her since her disappearance. These are very touchy subjects for her and will either change the subject or throw a spell at the person who brought it up. Misused or under-used powers also bug her. Also: Don't touch the hat. She will hurt you.

She claims to be insane and most believe her. This stems from known mind effecting abilities and situations not affecting her. (Resien's Red Eyes and the full moon from Imperishable Night) Some believe it is due to her experiments with her mushrooms and other magical substances. This does not mean she is immune to this, but only she might treat it as normal.

There is one thing that she will not ignore, that being a challenge. Either a friendly challenge or a fight, she will not back down. Solo or team, she will see it through to the end, even if that means not winning it. Although she isn't fond of losing although she will keep it to herself for the most part. She has an ego problem but at the same time, keeps it somewhat it check with the fact she hates hearing other complain about losing. She's not a bad person to be around if you can befriend her. Other than the casual pranking, she will help out, for a lesser price than others, or even protecting you if needed.

She can be a bit of a wanderer, not wanting to stay in one play for very long. She usually has reasons that she can justify but her time wandering from home to home of her friends. She is also very intelligent even though sometimes she acts like a goofball ditz. Science and Math are her best subjects, as to understand your explosive powers, you might need to know how they work so you don't explode yourself!

After the events of the AU, Marisa can be quite serious when the time calls for it. She can and will leave behind her more mischievous nature when the time calls for it, seeing as it tends to get her into trouble but that is used for back at the school. Where it normally keeps trouble tame. She isn't watched as closely due to her father anymore so there is a lot less worry to that so she seems carefree..other then homework and potential fights obviously.

POWERS/ABILITIES: Heat/Light Manipulation- Marisa is able to manipulate Heat and Light to create explosions, small bullet like creations (Usually star shaped) or even lasers.

The bullets are nearly effortless for her to make, although making them explode or more than a handful at a time is another story. Along with the lasers, at the moment it takes concentration for the bullets to explode and even then, it depends on how large they are. She can do it on accident from time to time but usually when she's not expecting it or if someone breaks her concentration while forming them.

Bullets and smaller lasers are effortless to make at this point, although the larger lasers and making a large amount of the bullets explode are still somewhat difficult. Mostly due to the energy factor that she has to watch.

-Needs a source of heat/light to properly use her powers
-Darkness or Cold places weakens her powers and can slow her down (Her body will focus on using her powers to keep her warm when in Extreme conditions.)
-Too many/massive explosions or lasers can wear her out easily
+ Her stars can be used to emit heat or light in dark situations, only if she isn't in the extreme cold conditions. She can not recharge from it though

She also has a mechanical, self-levitating broom and a small portable heater she calls a Mini-Hakkero she got from Rinnoske. The broom is obvious, although she can use her lasers to propel herself at high speeds. The Hakkero is one way for her to focus her powers a bit better and amplify them with it. If she's using her larger laser or even multiple lasers, she's usually using this to help her out.

AU HISTORY: Marisa was a pretty ordinary kid from the start. Her mother dotted on her while her father seemed to think his shop was more important than his child, but she never noticed anything for the longest time. She was about 4 when her mother passed and all of a sudden she realized how alone she was.

So from then on, she was never at home unless she absolutely had to, hanging out with friends and staying over until their parents had her move on or even staying with a family friend, Rinnoske Morichika. Either way, she was taken care of until she was forced to go home and stay with her father for some time before starting the cycle again. This went on for a few years until she ran into a woman on the way home from leaving a friend's house. Marisa followed her without hesitation and ended up staying with her. She seemed to take over mothering the girl where her mother had left off.

It didn't take long for people to notice that Marisa seemed to never be at home anymore, her father included. But by that point, Her teacher had been working with Marisa and her mutant capabilities so she would not hurt anyone with them on accident. She had already accidentally while at school being accused of a theft she didn't do for once. When her father had arrived to take his daughter back, she was concentrating on one of her lasers. He grabbed her, trying to drag her away when it exploded. When the dust settled, both her teacher and her father were hurt yet somehow Marisa escaped unscathed. After calling for help and making sure they were both okay, She ran away, not telling anyone where she went. She needed time to think and figure things out.

It took a while for them to find her but a representative from the Institute finally found her and offered her a fresh start. It took some convincing but Marisa eventually agreed and was on her way to the school.

She did have a bit of problems staying around, as she was called back home a few times or just would get bored and decide to explore around, the last time was because her teacher had vanished and she wanted to see for herself... But that would be the last time she pulled herself out. She got back into contact and asked if she could return, now that things were mostly in order. She wanted to stay and figure things out.

She accomplished that goal mostly, sticking around the school and working on her powers, joining up on her best friend's team when asked and focusing on defending the school during the attack leading up to the Phoenix Incident.

When the team broke up, Marisa graduated and was allowed to be one of the X-men, which she did with a wide grin and a bit of pride. But even then, she went back to wandering, coming back when she was called but mostly trying to keep tabs on things around the places she ended up in. She stayed in Japan for a few years, trying to reconcile with her father, knowing how dangerous things were and the chances of something going seriously wrong. It was during that time she was invited back, pointing out she had spoken about going through collage at one point and she could help with those returning to the school and coming in for the first time. She saw no downsides to it and accepted.
