Marissa Thomas, the mother of the Thomas Twins, Claire and Emily. 
Marissa is a former US Pro Player and current coach. Their team name is a play on éclair. They are ranked as the second best pairing behind Narumi and Ayasa. Originally, when Kanata and Narumi were a team, the pair was defeated by them, with Claire declaring them their rivals (and friends); eventually, Marissa became Narumi and Ayasa's coach, with the Thomas Family becoming close with Kanata's family.

The story takes place in Okinawa, where Haruka forms a beach volleyball pair with Kanata. Kanata, who couldn't handle the pressure put on her by her short height, had given up on beach volleyball already, but is convinced by Haruka to step back on the sand once again and aim for the junior tournament.
