Coming from a wealthy family, Marissa has no need to work. She's too busy trying to make sure everyone's lives are all going according to plan. She loves her son, and she is trying to make sure he understands the meaning of the word "integrity" (something her brother has never learned).
Marissa Cleveland (née Rutherford) is a FortuneAdult Sim. She lives in an apartment in Belladonna Cove with her husband Jason Cleveland. They have a son Justin Cleveland who is a Teen. Oddly, if you read the family bio, it calls her Martha. She has an irresponsible younger brother, whom she taught to walk.
When her family is first played, she will be 9 days away from being an elder.
Marissa is seen to players as a strict, over-nuturing mother who is constantly interfering in her son's life. Despite this, he considers her one of his best friends.
Carlos Contender recognizes Marissa as a friend, but when looking at Melissa's relationships she doesn't know Carlos. Similar relationship mistakes occur many times throughout Belladonna Cove.
