Alisa Bosconovitch

**Alisa Bosconovitch**, also known as **Alissa**, is a character from the *Tekken* series.

## **Charactah Account**

A robot girl created in the image of Dr. Bosconovitch's daughter. She just woke up and the first person she saw was Lars, thus she ended up accompanying him in his quest. She's not really sure of her purpose, however it turns out that her main objective is to protect Jin Kazama, which he used immediately to his advantage, by spying and later, betraying Lars. She's knocked out and was shut down by Lars, and after everything is over, Lars sent her to Lee so she could be restored.

In 7, Alisa recovers from her ordeal in the previous game and once again accompanies Lars, now also assisted by Lee and the Reporter, in saving Jin Kazama from being captured by Heihachi and Kazuya Mishima.

## **Trivia**

* Alisa is the robotic clone of Dr. Bosconovitch's deceased daughter (whose name was also Alisa), but with self-defense enhancements and fighting skills. This could be a nod to the *Astro Boy* anime, in which the titular character's original purpose was to replace the dead son of Dr. Tenma, but was later reworked to be a defense robot.
* The flowers that she wears in her hair are "daisies", a symbol of innocence; this being an important trait of Alisa's personality.
* Alisa's name is Russian/Hebrew for "Alice".
* Katsuhiro Harada made a comment that Alisa was partially inspired by Ashley Williams from the *Evil Dead*series since both of them use built-in chainsaws, (Ash uses a chainsaw as a prosthetic after he loses his hand).
* Despite being Russian, she speaks Japanese (due to being built to work for Jin, and also because she communicates with Miharu and Xiaoyu in *Tekken Tag Tournament 2*).
* In *Tekken 6* dialogues, Alisa sometimes denies being a robot, claiming she is a human. However, in the canonical endings she doesn't hide being a robot. In *Blood Vengeance* and *TTT2*, Alisa freely admits to Xiaoyu that she is a robot.
* As with Yoshimitsu's "sword" attacks, Alisa's "chainsaw" attacks are also blockable.
* Alisa has characteristics matching that of Pyrrha Alexandra from *Soul Calibur V*:
	+ Both are the female protagonists in their games' respective story mode.
	+ Both are sidekicks to the male protagonists (Lars and Patroklos).
	+ Both betrayed the male protagonists and switched sides with the villain they're opposing against in the climax (Jin has Alisa's Safe Mode disabled and Tira gets Pyrrha possessed by the sword, Soul Edge).
	+ Also, their eyes changed from normal to abnormal under the villain's influence (Alisa has red under Jin's influence, Pyrrha has gold under Soul Edge's influence).
	+ Both are turned back to their normal selves only by being defeated by the protagonists.
* Elphelt Valentine from *Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-* has characteristics matching Alisa.
* The *Bakugan* character Alice Gehabich shares many similarities to Alisa.
* Alisa was likely an inspiration for the character of Penny in web-series *RWBY*.
* Alisa has similar designs to characters from Xenosaga. Alisa's wing design could be compared to KOS-MOS', while her hair is similar to the style MOMO Mizrahi has, particularly from *Xenosaga Episode III*.
* She and her creator are based on the main characters in the fairy-tale *Pinocchio*, including parts of their storyline.
* Despite being a robot, Alisa's breasts are revealed to bounce whenever she moves, as one confused player asked Harada via Twitter about her physical appearance, where he confirmed that Alisa's body is made of metal composites, such as her skeleton being composed of tungsten carbide and her outer armor being made up of both titanium and uranium while the rest of her body has artificial skin. He also mentions that Alisa's breast physics are due to shock absorbers.
