Marissa Riis

Marissa Riis is the granddaughter of the previous White Ranger, Alessandra, and is the current White Ranger. She is connected to Athena, but her powers have not been announced yet.

Character History
Marissa was born on the distant planet of Aesesush, part of a species of shape shifters, although her true form is humanoid. Her mother died a long time ago, when she was only at the physical age of ten. She recently moved to Olympian Heights to return the White Irenic Crystal to Phebe. In the meantime, her father is working with NASADA directly in Olympia Heights.

White Warrior

Marissa is first introduced halfway through the story, when she met Bryce. After having a quick conversation with the Green Ranger, she and he parted ways, Bryce to go fight Aergia. The next day, Marissa found her way to Olympia Heights High School and broke into Olympian Ops, with the help of her grandmother's damaged Irenic Crystal. After she attacked Bryce and Charley, she was recognized by Bryce when her hood was pulled off. After some confusion, Phoebe sorted everything out.

The Rangers were called into battle, and Marissa remained in Olympian Ops with Phoebe. As she watched the Rangers fall one by one, she couldn't help but exclaim that she wanted to help. After being reminded by Phoebe that the White Powers do not work, she waited until the Titan left the room before springing into action.

Arriving at the fight, Marissa morphed with some difficulty. After fighting one on one with Aergia, she joined up with the others, and they defeated the Daemon. However, the toll on both Marissa and her morpher was severe, leaving her Irenic Crystal all but burnt out.

Nathalie and Marissa butted heads when Marissa went against Nathlie's instructions to stay behind, resulting in Kennedi being transformed into a beaver. After a shouting match turned physically violent, Nathalie and Marissa were both kicked out of Olympia Ops for a while. In the following battle against Circe, Marissa saved Nathalie from a hit from a Dweller. Despite this, there was still tension between the two, and Marissa decided to stay home on Christmas morning.
