Lissa (The Dragon Prince)

Lady Lissa is a background character in 2018 high fantasy Netflix animated series, The Dragon Prince. She is a noblewoman, the ex-wife of the late Viren and the estranged mother of Soren and Claudia. She doesn't physically appear in the series itself but has been mentioned in the novelizations and appears in pictures and drawings in Season 6.
Lissa leaving the family is also what led Claudia downward spiral to keep her family together.
==History==
Lissa was from the Kingdom of Del Bar, born to unnamed parents. She eventually married Lord Viren a highly respected nobleman from the neighboring Kingdom of Katolis and gave birth to their children Soren and Claudia. However, their marriage eventually became somewhat strained.
After Lord Viren used dark magic to save their son Soren and curing his asthma when he was dying from getting very sick, this factored in her eventually divorcing him. Lissa gave her children the choice of which parents they wanted to stay with. When Soren choose Viren, Claudia was conflicted on who to stay with. To compensate with this, Lissa told Claudia to stay and look after her brother. Lissa then returned to her remaining family. Claudia was horrified and saddened by her mother for "abandoning"  her. This caused Claudia to resent Lissa and made her swear that she would keep her, her father and brother afloat. 
In Season 6, Soren admits to missing his mother when he heard Zym howling for Zubeia. 
She later appears in a series of flashbacks where Viren explains to Soren in his letter to him how he cured him of his sickness with dark magic and how his mother left. However he decides not to and destroys the letter because of the bad blood already between ahim and Soren.
==Appearance ==
Lissa is a beautiful woman whose daughter resembles her. It's currently unknown with Alyssa's hair color is due to her just appearing in illustrations. Given that her son Soren didn't share his sister and father's hair colors, it is possible Lissa's hair is blonde. 
Alternatively, Lissa could be a brunette because it is possible for her and Viren to have had a relative with blonde hair in the past. In real life, if if two brunette parents have a blonde hair recessive gene, there is a 25% chance that one of their children will have blonde hair if that is the case.
