Karissa is a headstrong, resilient, beautiful, brutally honest, tough, nice and kind person. She will do whatever she needs to, to protect the ones she loves. She doesn't take kindly to those who talk about her behind her back. She would rather you say it to her face. She doesn't like liars and people who pretend. She likes to tell the truth, however hurtful it maybe. She believes that it's better to say the truth then lie and make you look like a fool. She also believes in helping others. She doesn't pretend to know everything but she never backs down to anyone, whether it be her family or friends. She may come off as intimidating or stand offish but she's a weird, crazy, and funny person once you get to know her.
