Alyssa Hamilton

**Alyssa Hamilton**is the master of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail war.

*"DAMN YOU! You're not my grandfather, I don't know WHO you are anymore! But I know that I'm a Rooder. I'LL DESTROY YOU AND SAVE MY MOTHER!"* - Alyssa Hamilton

## Profile

### Background

Alyssa was born to Philip and Nancy Hamilton. Alyssa's maternal grandfather, Dick, chose the name "Alyssa" for her. Nancy told baby Alyssa that, one day, she would inherit a clover necklace - its four leaves symbolize love, friendship, hope, and courage. Alyssa is a descendant of the Burroughs Family, though she is unaware of this. Since Dick discovers this, it is unlikely Nancy knew.

When Alyssa was a baby, she lost her father after he was apparently killed with an axe in a freak accident. However, Philip was actually murdered by Dick. From that point, Alyssa was raised by Nancy and Dick. At age 12, Alyssa was sent to boarding school away from her home for unknown reasons by Nancy, and was told not to return until she was at least 18 years old. Around this time, Dick goes "missing".

### Appearance

Alyssa has bright turquoise-blue eyes. She has chin-length Venetian-blonde hair, laid around her face on the sides, with a straight-cut fringe that rests on her eyebrows.

Alyssa usually wears her green boarding school uniform, which consists of a green jacket and tartan patterned blue and orange skirt. She wears a white shirt beneath her jacket, with a small red neck-tie, white socks and mauve colored shoes with black soles.

### Personality

Alyssa is a responsible, wise and intelligent girl. She is very polite and respectful of others and is shown to be caring and kind. Alyssa's compassion shows when she comforts May and Dorothy. A young Alyssa has been called lively, strong-willed, and wise beyond her years by her grandfather in Dick's Notes 1. These qualities make her a strong candidate for helping the tortured victims of serial killers as she risks her life for the chance they can be at peace.

Although she solves puzzles, she can be perceived a bit on the "illogical" side, as well as the "disobedient" side. For example, when her mother told her to go into hiding for a single day, her reaction is to immediately not do that and return home due to worry. She also does not call the police or try to get outside help when she begins discovering dangerous and supernatural things are occurring in her mansion, although this is done so the player would have a game to play. In addition, Alyssa knows that only a Rooder can vanquish a Subordinate, so she takes this role upon herself.

One of her weaknesses is that she tends to be very emotional and sensitive, and this shows when she is forced to see a series of extremely disturbing and violent imagery during the game. However, as the story progresses, she becomes stronger, more tenacious, more emotionally resilient and more independent throughout her experiences.

Similar to Jennifer Simpson, Alyssa also lost her father at a young age. She views her grandfather Dick as a paternal figure. She has significant character development when she gains the courage to confront her relative whom she once loved and respected, even yelling "damn you!" to his face. She reluctantly accepts the harsh truth about her grandfather, as well as the conditions and burdens surrounding her Rooder birth and existence. Clock Tower 3 is Alyssa's coming-of-age story, albeit a very dark and morbid one.

Interest-wise, Alyssa expresses interest in owning a computer, as seen upon examining her mother's desk. She also has a bookshelf with a lot of books in her room, implying an interest in reading.

## Abilities

She is a Rooder, a member of a mystical clan with the power to fight evil entities and their incarnations, the "Subordinates". As a Rooder, Alyssa has the supernatural abilities to communicate with the dead and summon a sacred magical bow and arrows to destroy the evil entities.
