Though she went through the Academy and got a fair amount of training, Marissa Garren has always been a Merc at heart. She follows Starfleet protocol to the 'T' when she is on duty, but off-duty under an alias, she has a whole team of Mercs that she uses to help the Federation in ways the Federation can't help itself.
Physical Description
Marissa has black hair and pale skin, with electric blue/gray eyes. She likes to leave her hair down and when not in uniform, wears revealing outfits and uses the Holodeck. She's tall, but not too tall, and prefers bare feet to footwear.
Psychological Profile
Marissa takes people as they come and though she can be a bit judgmental, for the most part starts everyone off with a clean slate. She has a short temper, but as long as you aren't pushing her on purpose she can let it go--she doesn't believe in holding grudges.
She comes from a somewhat broken home with an abusive step-mother, and though her childhood wasn't very peachy, she'd been able to move past it and have a life. She's been fortunate to get to do what she loved and wanted and is thankful for that. At the same time, growing up that way meant that once someone lost her trust they lost it forever. She would remain in contact and even form a friendship up again if the person repented, but the trust was gone.
When it comes to her work, Marissa is focused and she's not afraid to speak up when she thinks that you're wrong. She love what she does, even her side work, which consists of helping the Federation by going around the rules. She only does this when it is warranted, and at all other times follows the Prime Directive.

History
Marissa was born in 2354, her biological mother dying in childbirth with her. When she was 3, Marissa's father remarried, but Marissa was mistreated by her step-mother. Ignoring all of the signs, Marissa's father let it happen so Marissa left for Starfleet at 17 and then never returned, even though she kept in contact with her younger brother and even saw him in the Academy. She stayed at the Academy for 6 years and learned everything she could before getting assigned to a Freighter where she began to learn about Mercenaries.
Once a Merc herself, Marissa doubled as a security officer and a vigilante of a sort for the Federation. She had always had a moral compass of sorts, but when people cannot fight for themselves, she will go to any length to assure they are helped--even if it means abandoning protocol. She believes in the Federation, but she believes in people more.
