(Strong and brave, yet playful and is secretly very vulnerable)

Will require a callback audition.

Marissa Valentine is the unofficial leader of the longest-serving scavenger group in the community she lives in. A mall called Eden that has been repurposed into a haven from the deadly fog that plagues the outside world. Being a scavenger, otherwise called a Hunter, in Eden is considered to be the deadliest job due to the dangers that hunters face in the dead city. Bandits that wander the city, the risk of suffocating from the fog, and the dangers of wandering through a fragile, destroyed city are just some of the dangers that a hunter faces daily. However, they're essential as they bring in life-saving supplies that keep Eden running.

Marissa has demonstrated her ability to lead many scavengers through her fearlessness, tenacity, and curiosity. She has been a hunter for many years along with her younger brother, whom she loves more than anything, despite being constantly annoyed by him. However, this is only a front she puts up. She has lost so many people over the years that their faces still linger in her mind. When alone, she is still a little girl who enjoys drawing anime, reading comic books, and has a secret collection of stuffies that she found while wandering the city. But, in front of her brother and the other scavengers she leads, she is fearless and fair. That is, until another scavenger joined her and her brother that reminds her of someone she had grown incredibly close to.

Eden doesn't teach their residents about love, so in terms of how the body works, she doesn't know too much, which is why she doesn't know why she likes this new person so much.

This role is a demanding one, both creatively and in practice, as Marissa becomes a central character in acts 2 and 3. Showing up periodically from Chapter 7 to 17. 

She has just over 3 100 words of spoken dialogue.
