Early life

Born August 29, 1997 to Danielle Sutherland and Percy Barnett, her mother, never having married Barnett, assigned her own surname to her instead of Percy's. He did not know of this until 2001, during his trial on drug charges in Pennsylvania, when the prosecuting attorney referenced Carissa by her legal surname during a failed attempt to add endangerment charges.

Carissa's mother moved to Australia with her when she was just four years old. As a result, she speaks with an Australian accent rather than an American one.

Return to America

Carissa returned to the United States, her nation of birth, for the first time in 10 years, to attend the wedding of her sister, musician Clia Foster, to Dr. Darien C. Willis, then a tenured history professor at San Fernando University outside Los Angeles, and host of his own public television show, mainly regarding Ancient Near East history.

Four years later, in 2015, Carissa was accepted to San Fernando's film production program, headed by Dr. Cassandra Walcott and heavily endowed by Nick Walsh, whom she would intern with at his production company, Moonglow Media.

Personal life 

As a result of having moved to Australia with her mother at age 4, Carissa speaks with an Australian accent, not an American one.

She has a tattoo of a blue dragonfly on her left front side of her stomach.

After finding out in her twenties that she would never be able to bear biological children, she eventually adopted Isabella Calderon from an orphanage in 2026, who was just a few days shy of her tenth birthday at the time. Isabella's birth parents both died as a result of COVID-19 when she was just five years old, though she never contracted it herself. Isabella addresses Carissa as "tia" (aunt in Spanish) rather than "mom."

Family relationships

Biological half-sister of American musician Clia Foster (1985-2090) and Australian writer Nathan Richard Matthews (2018-2115).

Aunt of Nadia Willis (2016-2136)
