trigger warnings: Human experimentation, Child neglect

☆  Marisa Tanzer is an ecologist, biologist, biochemist and environmentalist who used to work under Barrington as an assistant before moving on to working at places like the weapon plus program and the facility. Having only quit once she got fed up with everything burning down around her with how many sloppy mistakes everyone made. 

She eventually made an attempt to start her own scientific research team out of everyone who decided to walk out with her the day she had quit. Things were going steady with her team, she made incredible strides in her scientific explorations, and over time Marisa grew to be more ambitious. Talking about wanting to 'figure out what went wrong' and 'fix the mistakes of the past'. Her ambitions leading her to create Mavis out of only a few bits of Sabretooth's DNA in the hopes that she would create something that wasn't built to destroy for a change. 

Things went well for Marisa at first, sure raising a clone had it's ups and downs but she soon grew to be better at parenting her little creation. Growing so fond of Mavis that she started to treat her like her own daughter  (much to the dismay of the other people working under her). 

Marisa did her best to be present for the entirety of Mavis's development, however there were many times that she had to leave the little Creed kid alone with her co-workers so she could earn a little extra money on the side. Being a holder of four degrees with a whole lab to run was expensive, and Marisa had to work a lot of extra jobs just to keep the lights on in her personal facilities. So while she worked grueling hours at several minimum wage jobs, she let her colleagues oversee Mavis and care of her whilst she was gone. A fatal mistake that she would come to regret making once Mavis escaped from her.

The day that Mavis was let loose on the world was one of the lowest points for the prestigious scientist, not only did her own team let her down but she herself was guilty of becoming neglectful when Mavis needed her the most. 

As the remainder of her former colleagues tried to explain themselves to Marisa, attempting to justify what they had done, the researcher had enough. Having become fed up of the constant repeated mistakes and terrible treatment of her own creation, she 'terminated' the remainder of her staff. Burying them all underneath her old lab before shutting down operations and becoming a hermit. Choosing to spend her time raising plants and giving back to the community by providing home grown food to the homeless and hungry.
