Lisa Hamilton, also known as La Mariposa, The Immortal Butterfly, Supernova and Exotic Entrepreneur, is a character from the Dead or Alive series.
== Charactah Account ==
A luchadora who made her first official appearance in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, and made her fighter debut in Dead or Alive 4. As a former scientist for the Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee, Lisa has a mysterious, shadowed past that has not fully come to light yet, and has links with many others, despite being relatively new to the series.
Curiously enough, although she usually shows a very mysterious, even suspicious, personality, her behaviour changes dramatically when she adopts her La Mariposa persona. In those moments, her behaviour is very similar to Tina's, who she's best friends with.Lisa spends most of the time in the 5th tournament working on Donovan's plot.
However, on seeing Hayate in danger of repeating the process of Project Epsilon, she changed her mind and ended up cancelling the process. Shortly after the ninjas fought the latest Alpha clone, the lab blew up, possibly along with Lisa. However, producer Yohei Shimbori has confirmed that she survived.

== Trivia ==
* Lisa's surname was not known in the series until Dead or Alive Dimensions.
* Lisa's lucha libre moves are based on pro wrestler Nobuyoshi Nakamura.
* Lisa's fighting style seems to also involve the use of capoeira kicks. This trait is not entirely unusual as many professional wrestlers employ skills outside of basic wrestling and some do not have a wrestling background.
* IGN featured Lisa in their "Videogame Babe of the Day" series in 2006.
* Lisa was the only new character in Dead or Alive 4 to have officially debuted in an older game in the series, which was Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball.
** She is also the first Dead or Alive character to debut in an Xtreme game rather than a fighting game, which would later be repeated with Misaki, Luna, Tamaki, Fiona, Nagisa, and Kanna for Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation
** She is also the first Xtreme debuted character to actually enter the main fighting series, followed by Tamaki.
* Lisa was initially believed to be African-American due to her dark skin color as well as her last name Hamilton as given in Dead or Alive Dimensions. However, Itagaki revealed in a Facebook post that Lisa was in fact supposed to be Latina, like her fighting style, lucha libre, which originated in Mexico. He also implied that "Lisa" may not actually be her real name.
* According to Itagaki, Lisa's name was originally supposed to be Monica.
* In the Dead Fantasy fan series, her current Japanese voice grunts are used for Tifa Lockhart of Final Fantasy VIIwho is voiced by Maaya Sakamoto.
** When Tifa does a German suplex towards her rival Hitomi in Dead Fantasy II, it is the same suplex that Lisa executes from her ending in Dead or Alive 4.
* When playing Survival Mode on Legend difficulty in Dead or Alive 5, Lisa will always appear as the final opponent.
* Largely because of the ending of Dead or Alive 5 and how the explosion was framed, it was initially ambiguous as to whether Lisa had been killed in the M.I.S.T. lab explosion. However, Yohei Shimbori in an interview with freestepdodge about Dead or Alive 6 confirmed that Lisa is still alive, but stopped short of divulging how she managed to survive.
** Her survival was further confirmed via leaked concept art showing Lisa's legs.
* Her age and blood type as La Mariposa is listed as unknown in her Dead or Alive 6 bio.
* In Dead or Alive 6, La Mariposa's mask can be destroyed if she is hit by a Break Blow. In lucha libre, removing an opponent's mask is a disqualification.
* Lisa was cut from the Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 roster, ranking the lowest of the six girls cut. Two of her swimwear in past games, however, the Venus and Fortune swimwear, do reappear as collectable swimwear, mostly because of the names of the two versions of the game.
** In a Famitsu poll for who people would want to have included in the PC version Xtreme Venus Vacation in the leadup to the game's fourth anniversary, Lisa tied in fourth place alongside Christie.
