Fanon:Marissa Perez: Difference between revisions

|caption = '''Traditional Riverview could not handle a woman of such poise and beauty, Marissa was inclined to believe. However, as time went on, she feels more and more dragged to the gutter. In her younger naive years, she almost enjoyed how her story would start dramatically and then unfold to a sequence of good fortune events, thatending would lead her toin true, glorious happinessbliss. She couldn't be more wrong! What used to be envy became ridicule, and what was once rumouringwere rumours and silly gossip became false accounts of cheating! Now she's the butt of joke, and everywhere she goes, there is somebody to look down upon her. And what help does she get? Oh yeah, her son won't even get out of the coach for nothing! Is it her fault? Should she tell him the truth? Oh, what is she gonna do?'''

'''Marissa Perez''' is a female Sim who lived in [[Riverview]]. She was to become the personal stylist and image consultant for the [[Fanon:Garvouis family|Garvouis family]], but a forbidden love affair would lead her to quit her job prematurely. Tragically and unwarranted, Marissa became very poor as a young adult and would stay that way the rest of her life. She kept her father'sthe identity a secret fromof her eldest son, [[Fanon:Archibald Perez|Archibald]]'s father, ofa whichsecret hefrom him. Archibald would only learn of it ''post mortem'', after her death, making him forever resentful of her. She is also the mother of Caio and Mariana. All of her children were fathered by different men, whom she would never marry.

While she had been living with them, Constance was very focussed on writing, while her husband, [[Fanon:Isaac Garvouis|Isaac]], needed to relax from crafting inventions and found himself intrigued by Marissa dancing in the attic. She was very attracted to him in return and flirted back, starting their fling. Afraid of having Constance find out as it was all happening right under her nose, as well as fearing for her own reputation and future as a stylist, Marissa told her she had to leave, moved out and bought a small [[List of empty Riverview lots#Teacup ChihuahuacottageChihuahua|condo]] to live in.

Marissa was very fearful, because she knew the [[Paparazzi|paparazzo]] had caught a glimpse of the two lovers leaving the [[hot tub]], and the chance of him having taken photos that compromised her and Isaac was very high. Isaac ensured he had payedpaid them very well in order to keep their silence, however.

Constance was on her way to her second pregnancy when Marissa left, but Isaac paid her numerous visits during this period, impregnating Marissa in one of the many visits.

While Isaac's children were growing up in a happy family and prosperous house, Marissa was raising Isaac'stheir son on her own. She received daily a small amount of money as child support, that Isaac was saving and hiding from his wife. He kept Marissa attached by giving numerous gifts throughtout her life, and even on false pretenses of legitimizing their son. Marissa was hopeful he would leave Constance for her one day, but that would never happen.

Out of despair for waiting around for Isaac, Marissa, previously blinded by passion, found she still attracted men like bees to honey, and soon began dating a [[Medicine#The Sims 3##Promotion levels|trauma surgeon]], the much older [[Jebidiah Wilson|Dr. Wilson]], with whom she went steady. She felt something was missing, it did not feel anything like like being with Isaac. However, determined to take herself out of the gutter, she continued the relationship and was hoping Jebidiah would want her to move in and ask her to marry him.

However, Dr. Wilson felt very creeped out by her son's behavior around the couple when he visited, and found his pranks to be especially devious. He was also not happy with how Marissa dealt with her son, believing he needed to be dealt with an iron first instead of ignored or molly coddled. Predicting that the relationship would also not become serious, Marissa would start lashing out at Jebidiah, and her mood swings became even more unpredictable. She was also being seduced by another man, João Maria Quelime, with whom she would have a fling.

Rumours of cheating werestarted spreading like wildfire, and soon reached her partners' ears. Added up to the fact that she was already a single Mom when they met, Wilson could not help but becomegrow very suspicious of her motivations to be with him, terminatingand terminated their relationship.

In public disgrace once again, she was over the top upon learning that she was pregnant, even if she was not sure who the father was. She claimed the child was Wilson's and she vainly attemped to tell him so. However, Dr. Wilson tragically died of Old Age before the child was born, who turned out to be his. Neither did Marissa or Caio, their son, inherit a single penny.

Moreover, Archibald had just grown up into a Mooch teen, and couldn't be bothered about helping with the finances at all, acting resentful when he had to take care of little Caio for her. She had to face his ridicule and scorn once more. The only job he worked was at the Masoleum, sinceas a ghostscreepy fascinatedburial himspecialist, but even that job he rapidly quit.

Marissa began dating her previous fling, the self-registered gardener João Maria, who moved in with them, after the couple went steady. HisShe movingexpected inthis didmove notto help muchtheir withfinances, thebut financesit asdid expectednot. Financial problems would be further worsened by a third pregnancy, a girl who would be named Mariana.

Marissa tried to indulge herself once more, this time falling for the much younger [[Fanon:Ryan Cole|Ryan Cole]], also brother to Isaac's son's wife. Her son Archibald grew up ino a young adult and let his girlfriend, Becky Bayer, stay at the place all the time. Marissa was distraught that none of her children cared enough to help her. Even Mariana, who had grown up to be beautiful like Marissa had been, embarassed her mother with her personal style. How could she have no sense of fashion at all? However, her daughter blamed the poor choice of clothing on the family's financial problems caused by Marissa's instability. However, Mariana got a part-time at the BookStore, though.

Torn between spitting out the truth to Archibald, so her kids would stop blaming her for everything, or keeping the secret to herself, she realized none of the options would make up for her failure. She thought it could get no worse than it was...

''She was so pretty, from a young age, she realized she turned heads wherever she went, and she always wanted to make the most of it. But don't be fooled, behind her pretty face also, there's also talent, or at least there used to. She always thought fashion would give her a promising future, I agreed... just maybe not in Riverview... And, no working for couples, please... She speaks well, has movie star looks, she really leaves everyone scratching their head on- whyjust how could she hashave beenturned out so unfortunate. Can it possibly be? They say she can't keep a man around,... and that child of hers? Don't even get me started!'''

*The only times Marissa's character were played was when she lived with Garvouis, and once, when checking on Archibald. Since she became related to Isaac in the Garvouis family tree, it was quite easy to get a look on what her life was being like. It was quite interesting to see her character unfold,develop inand the middleway ofwhat happened around her unfolded in such drama, one that she almost brought to herself to.
