Bio

Marisa2
Marisa joined the ranks of the Fort Wolf Posse almost entirely due to peer pressure. Ever one to please, especially when the hotness of Ramon is the one doing the pressuring, she enlisted into the FWP when they did a little “recruitment drive” at UTA. She always thought her life would be different, perhaps even glamorous if she ever actually attended her acting lessons like she had promised. Instead, her life is a little more… bloody… than she expected.

Not that she hates it, by any means, its a total rush and a great workout, but she’s more of a “people person/wolf”, playing up the “hurt animal” or “lost dog” routine in order to get the kill rather than all this fighting face to face BS. She prefers the sneak attack approach any day of the week, and she could probably talk the stripe off a skunk if she had to.

Marisa fence And Ramon, in his rather bizarre “philosphy” for being a werewolf and excellent leadership skills, totally lets her play that angle, relying on her for certain covert actions as well as information gathering and as a “Face” for FWP social endevours. Marissa opens up the situation and establishes the friendly initial reactions, allowing Ramon to move in and “seal the deal.”

She is also easily the brightest academically, even though she usually tries to play the dumb blonde. Her brief tenure as a nursing student also allows her to double as a rough field medic for the FWP injured, which in turn gives her a chance to talk and learn about her patients in case she ever needs blackmail material later if they try to “challenge” her Beta status.
 
 

Character Phases

Phase One: Background

Where Did You Come From?

Aspect: La Güera (Fair/Pale Hispanic)

  • The term can be both complimentary (beautiful, lovely) and derogatory (blondie/wannbe gringo)
  • Her family is from Nuevo León (City of Monterrey) and there’s French ancestry in there somewhere (her middle name is French “Joséphine” and “del Franco” means “of France/French”).
    • Dad = Garcia, Mom = Perez


Phase Two: Rising Conflict

What Shaped You?
?

Aspect: People Think I’m a People-Person / Craptacular Self Image (?)

  • Idea behind Craptacular Self Image is like Andi from the Alphas in the books (before becoming a werewolf she was the chubby redhead unattractive girl in the pack)


Phase Three: The Story

What Was Your First Adventure?

Aspect: Her Bark is Worse than Her Bite (possibly something else originally?)



Phase Four: Guest Starring

Whose Path Have You Crossed
?

Aspect: Smart Nursing School Dropout (possibly this as First Adventure instead?)



Phase Five: Guest Starring Redux

Who Else’s Path Have You Crossed

Aspect: One for all, all for one (Pack Aspect) / Werewolf Beta Female


Advancements


Minor

  • #1 – Used – Slightly altered her People Person Aspect
  • #2 – Used – “La Guera” changed to “Fae Struck… well one of them.” < this was originally different but I reconsidered that La Guera really hasn’t come up much but the other is a better one to replace. So I put it back.
  • #3 – Used – Trouble altered from “Craptacular Self-Image” to “My Pack Comes Before Me”
