Marissa

Stephanie's former girlfriend.

She and Stephanie have also been roommates for a while. They met while they were both in University.

There seems to be some kind of unresolved tension between Marissa & Stephanie....

Marissa has been physically, sexually and mentally abusing Stephanie since the moment Marissa targeted Stephanie in university. She has gaslighted Stephanie to think that she is unworthy of being loved and cared for in relationships and in Stephanie's general life.

This gaslighting has been reinforced by Marissa due to Marissa convincing Stephanie that no one could love her for being a dirty stripper in university. (Stephanie became a stripper, in university, because she felt that was the only way to be able to afford her University tuition.)

Marissa also abused Stephanie until Stephanie accepted Marissa's gaslighting that Stephanie was the reason that Stephanie's elementary school friend was raped by her father during a sleepover at Stephanie's parents home.
