Your Character
You first meet her in Chapter 1, at your hostel. She is one of your roommates along with Sumire.

Tristao
Marisa mentions having a boyfriend in Chapter 2. They are currently in a long distance relationship, which she says sucks but she tries to use her energy not worrying. In Chapter 4, she is excited that he is coming to visit but when he calls her to cancel, she is heartbroken. You can choose to talk to her and possibly cheer her up when this happens. Tristao was supposed to call her on her birthday but when they text, it is clear to Marisa that he forgot it is her birthday and she becomes sad. She wants to party nevertheless with you and your friends. During the party, they keep texting and Marisa complains to him. Tristao then breaks up with her via text, saying he cannot do this anymore.

Sumire
Sumire was her only roommate before you arrived. Whereas Sumire is tidy and neat, Marisa's bunk looks like she has been sleeping on top of her clean clothes.
