Biography

Template:Spoiler

Personality

Lisa is stern, pragmatic, and occasionally quite short-tempered. She does not tolerate any idleness or excuses from her workers and demands that everyone contribute their fair share to the settlement's well-being. She rarely smiles and commands an authoritative, even fearsome presence in front of others.

She maintains a grounded, realistic view of the world, to the point where she and Kat frequently clash with one another on the correct course of action. After Kat descends to Lei Elgona, she expresses disbelief and anger that Lisa would simply stand by and allow the poor of Jirga Para Lhao to be exploited in such a way. Bristling, Lisa responds that "We can't feed our families on ideals" and that "if we argue or fight back, things just get made worse." Her heritage as a Lhao causes her to harbor a deep-seated hatred for the reigning Council, but her practical, even cynical attitude has resigned her to working with them and with unsavory merchants such as Vogo.

After the events leading up to Episode 10: No Messiah, No Message, however, Lisa undergoes an abrupt change. Chopping her hair short and doffing her duster-like outerwear, she admits that Kat was right and that "if we don't fight for what's ours, we don't deserve it." She declares her intent to revolt against the Council, and, after their power is torn away, she reclaims the Cargo of the Lhao tribe and becomes the city's leader. Even then, though, she exercises caution; when Neu Hiraleon descends upon Lei Havina, Kat begs her to send in the fleet to assist, but Lisa refuses, saying they must consider the greater good of the city.

It is strongly implied that Lisa is a heavy drinker, as she is often depicted carrying a flask or taking swigs from a bottle. According to one of the residents of Banga, she often drowns her sorrows in alcohol, and her drink of choice is described as "rot-gut." As the story progresses, however, she is seen drinking less and less frequently.
