 is one of the main characters of the Just Before the Corner series. She's a scientist, and had always been interested in science ever since she was small.

Clarissa has a bad feeling about it when three of her best friends get a job at a secret government service. She even helps Angelo escape, but they get discovered quickly.

Appearance
Clarissa wears a purple shirt, with grey three-quarter jeans and white boat shoes. She has long, blond hair and grey eyes.

Appearance in Now or Never specific
In Now or Never, Clarissa's appearance hardly changes, but she is seen in various lab outfits with her hair tied up, as well as in a woman's suit.

Personality
Clarissa is a bit of a guard dog, always protecting the ones she loves. Clarissa had always helped David, Angelo and Martin when they had to cope with the same Bully Team, but David managed to keep them away pretty good as well.

Clarissa is very confident and strict.

In Friends Around the Corner, which takes place 18 years after the beginning of Now or Never, Clarissa and David are the only survivors of the group of four. Her husband is away often, which sometimes gives her a hard time taking care of her sons and daughter. She also helps Nathaly raising her children often as well. She loves them very much, although they still give her painful memories sometimes, just not as much as they do for David.

She is still working the same job, except she's now working in a lab in the US instead of in England.

In Just Around the Corner, Clarissa appears often, but in two stories the most. In Fixing the Future and in Bullet Holes. In Fixing the Future, a few years prior to Bullet Holes, something goes wrong when James and Samira manage to travel back in time and "save" their father from dying, causing a dystopian future to be created. This leads the two teens to their "father," who, of course, never had children; yet they still need each other to save the world and restore the timeline. Angelo and David failed to get out of the "secret program," leaving them with their memories of their family erased. Clarissa helps the resistance.

Bullet holes unveils the mystery surrounding Angelo's and Martin's mysterious deaths, as nineteen-year-old Samira and seventeen-year-old James try and find answers to their questions. Clarissa helps them find these answers, appearing both in the "past" and "present" aspects of the story.
