Carissa lived on Pern during the Second Interval. Her parents were Zist and Cayla.
Zist and Masterharper Murenny were worried about the Shunned and the upcoming Third Pass. Zist and Cayla took baby Carissa with them while they went to find Shunned. During their travels, Cayla and Carissa contracted an illness. When the three returned to the Harper Hall, Cayla and Carissa died. Her adopted brother Pellar sadly noted that her first and only word had been "Pellar".
