Personal Opinion

Nerissa, as Portia's sevant maid, she always helps Portia. In the climax climax of the story, the court scene, she disguides a man with Portia.

She is not a female character that brings impact like Portia and Jessica, she is like other servant girl in other stories, loyal and takes care after their masters, their value and faith are influenced by their masters. As Nerisa, her personality is influenced by Portia, which makes her righteous and supportive to Portia.
