Marissa Shimpling is the middle child of Mahitobel and Harold Shimpling. Growing up between Joceline and Heathcliff was not difficult; there was enough of an age gap (and kindness on her sister's part) that the girls get along fantastically, and her nurturing nature seemed to benefit her relationship with Heathcliff as they were growing up. Marissa has always had a bleeding heart, her mother used to joke that she knew her middle daughter would be a Hufflepuff before she turned five. Marissa's interest in healing came about after finding an abandoned baby duck and nursing it back to health prior to her years at Hogwarts. A very bright girl, she could have done well in Ravenclaw, but her giving nature was the deciding factor. The war was hard on Marissa; there were times when she worked with children who were injured or harmed because of the fighting that she could hardly contain her grief over the situation. But her strength and resolve to work with the neediest of clients helped her persevere through those dark years. And now, she couldn't love her job more. She gets to see her niece Marietta often, as well as the children of some of her close friends from Hogwarts.
