Nerissa Crossnic


 * Former Guardian of Quintessence. Nerissa has long black hair and has green eyes and is 15 as a Guardian. Nerissa was the first to carry the Heart of Candracar, enabling C.H.Y.K.N. to transform. The Heart was given to former Guardian of Water, Cassidy, after the power of the Heart began to corrupt Nerissa. Nerissa became obsessed from the loss of her power. She begged and begged for it back, then demanded Cassidy give it to her. After Cassidy declined, Nerissa pushed her off a cliff and left Cassidy plummeting to her death. The Heart was then given to Yan Lin, Guardian of Air.
 * Nerissa was imprisoned on the top of Mount Thanos, and remained like that until the Veil was raised. After a portal freed her (in the comics Luba fuses the Aurameres together, inducing Nerissa's freedom.) she went to Meridian, disguised as a woman named Trill. She kept an eye on Phobos and Elyon throughout Phobos' reign. After Phobos was defeated, Trill gave Elyon a necklace owned by Queen Weira. The necklace syphoned Elyon's power, and when she gave it back to Trill, who tricked Elyon into hating her parents, Trill revealed herself as Nerissa and imprisoned Elyon inside the jewel. Nerissa also tricked Kadma into giving her the Heart of Zamballa, which created the Seal of Nerissa.
 * During season 2, Caleb was trying to track down his mother with the help of his father, Julian. Julian claimed that Caleb's mother was the Mage, but the true Mage had been buried under a waterfall for 18 years after her death. Julian said that he and the Mage fell in love 17 years ago and gave birth to Caleb, so Caleb believed his mother was the Mage. Nerissa had been posing as the Mage after the Mage's death, which meant that Julian fell in love with the former Guardian, and she was Caleb's mother. Caleb was understandably very shaken after finding this out, but retained enough common sense to ultimately reject Nerissa's offer to join her. She remains trapped in Queen Weira's jewel, charmed by illusions of her fantasy of her on a throne with Caleb and Julian ruling at her sides.
