Despite her rationalism, she often tends to exaggerate any problem she's facing. She was approximately 14 years old when the series began and was a 9th grader at Thomas Tupper Junior High.
Her hobbies include computer game programming, photography, journalism and rock music. Though she is usually mild-mannered, she can be just as selfish and calculating as her younger brother Ferguson. Clarissa is best known for her unique fashion sense, typically involving very colorful, mismatched clothing.
During in Season 1, Clarissa had an alligator named Elvis. Elvis was removed from the show after the first season. In the first episode of season two Clarissa explained that her parents sent Elvis back to Florida when he got too big, Mitchell Kriegman's novel, Things I Can't Explain, Clarissa further elaborated that he "disappeared under mysterious circumstances" and "it took years to get mom to confess that she gave away the reptilian Elvis without telling me after Ferguson tried to shove a pocket watch down his throat thinking it would win him the role of Captain Hook in the school play."

Clarissa is a highly intelligent free spirit who often clashes with authority and order, usually represented by her family. She's known to program her own computer games to show off to her best friend and next-door neighbor Sam, whose friendship she deeply values. Outspoken and often bold, Clarissa usually follows her moral compass, but she also isn't above some sibling rivalry or petty drama. She's unique, she's sharp, and she's an 90's American teenage girl.
