Lisir

**Lisir** is a cheerful tomboy whose endless optimism and energy is balanced out by a total lack of scruples or a clue. Lisir's enthusiasm often gets her and the entire party into situations ranging from the mildly amusing to the nearly lethal. But that's all part of her charm.

Having to fend for herself and being self-reliant for so long, she has become very fond of money and is especially fond of spending other people's money.

## Story

**SPOILER WARNING:** Plot and/or ending details follow.
Lisir first meets Ales while on a journey to find the monster that killed her parents. She had been hired by other members of a merchant caravan to act as their bodyguard, but failed miserably on the first monster attack on the caravan. After Ales, Sierra, and Viselc arrive to fight off the monsters, Lisir introduces herself to the party. Ales finds her incredibly off-putting, going so far as to say she was annoying. Despite being ticked off by Ales, Lisir returns to her bodyguard duties, reminding Viselc and the caravan that she expects to be rewarded for her work.

Once in Morocc, Lisir is paid for her services and butts heads with Ales once again. Seeing as her duties as bodyguard was over, Lisir decides to look for other work in the desert town. Before she left, she overhears Viselc talking to Ales about a Frione Tear and that a creature called Frione resides in the Ant Hell monster nest in the Sograt Desert. Lisir interrupts and asks Ales if he's really going to Ant Hell. When Ales asks her what of it, she quickly shuts up and leave.

The next morning, Lisir tracks down Ales and offers her services to him if he intends to go to Ant Hell. She shows off her spell powers and assures them that they will find what they're looking for with her help. Ales flat out refuses her, believing that there's something suspicious going on with her interest in coming with them to Ant Hell. In typical Sierra fashion, the shaman wants Ales to let Lisir come along and Ales relents. The three of them head out for Ant Hell and eventually reach the underground monster nest. When Lisir seems hesitant to go further into the nest, Ales asks her what she's hiding. Lisir finally reveals that she thinks the Frione monster that they're hunting is the monster that killed her parents. Ales and Sierra are shocked and Ales apologizes for forcing her to relive those memories. He offers to help her fulfill her desire for revenge since he and Sierra were both planning on hunting down the monster anyhow. Lisir thanks him for the offer and the three of them wander deeper into the nest.

After a long time of searching, Ales, Sierra, and Lisir finally track down Frione and rush to attack it. The battle was long, but the three of them were able to take down the gargantuan monster. Upon its defeat, it dropped the Frione Tear that Ales has been looking for while Lisir celebrates finally avenging her parents. When Lisir asks about the tear, Ales reveals he needs it in order to get an Emperium and form a guild. Lisir offers her friendship in return for Ales and Sierra's help and even wants to join Ales' guild once he's formed it. Ales is hesitant to accept her as she's just in it for the money, but lets her do whatever she wants.

Ales and Sierra return to the Prontera tavern with Lisir in tow and Aldo is astonished that they were able to obtain a Frione Tear for him. As promised, Aldo tells them where they can find an Emperium, but warns them to forget about it as the place where its located has a dragon. Aldo only knows about the Emperium because he had dreams of forming his own guild as well. He lost his friends Zane and Rodia in pursuit of the Emperium and it was shortly after that when he met and befriended Lucifi. After he recovered, Aldo sealed off the cave so that the dragon would never hurt anyone ever again. Aldo asks again if they're sure they want to get the Emperium and Ales confirms his desire to get it despite the danger. Aldo then reveals that the dragon is located in the deepest part of the Yusidra Caves, which shocks Ales as he never saw anything dangerous in there in his previous visits. Aldo reveals it's because of the seal he placed on the cave. They'll be able to see it once he lifts the seal. The three of them then head for the caves.

Ales, Sierra, and Lisir arrive at the Yusidra Caves and the girls are unsure if they can handle a dragon. Ales assures them that they'll be fine and they venture deeper into the caves. They find the unsealed cave inside and Ales warns the girls to be on the alert, as they have no idea what they'll find inside. They eventually run into the dragon (Detale) and are taken aback by how huge it was. There was no turning back now, so the three of them go after the dragon head on. A long, arduous battle ensued and the party emerges victorious against the dragon. At long last, Ales obtained the Emperium he needed to form his guild; Sierra and Lisir congratulate him on achieving his goal. as they make their way out of the cave, they come across a letter addressed to Aldo from Rodia. Lisir is shocked that a letter had managed to survive all this time. Ales insists on taking the letter to Aldo and the party leaves the caves.

They arrive at the Prontera tavern to show Aldo the Emperium as well as the letter they found. Aldo reads the letter and is shocked to know that his love Rodia may still be alive. The letter says that Rodia attempted to use Teleport on herself to escape, but was unsure if she had the strength to do it or if the spell would be stable. Aldo decides to look for her starting with Arunafeltz, which was Rodia's home country. The merchant thanks them for their help and Ales tells him to let them know if he needs further assistance from them after they've formed their guild. They split off from the tavern, with Aldo headed for Arunafeltz while Ales and the party go to the Prontera chivalry to officiate their guild.

With the formation of their guild, dubbed Garde, Ales and the others encounter a competing guild by the name of Golden Eagle, headed by a monk name Edwin with his partner Fiona. Almost immediately Edwin and Fiona are rubbing Ales and Lisir the wrong way with their haughty attitudes. They told them that if they encounter requests they can't handle, they are free to send them to Golden Eagle. With that, they leave the guild base with Ales and Lisir boiling. Despite having to contend with a rival guild now, Ales and the others were able to get their first request as an official guild. An elf name Yolanda wishes for them to find a family member by the name of Popi, who was last seen near Ant Hell. Although hesitant to accept the job given Lisir's past, Ales agrees to take on the request and the three of them head back to the monster nest.

After searching high and low all over Ant Hell, Ales, Sierra, and Lisir come across a friendly dog inside the nest. At first they're unsure why a dog is there until Lisir reveals that the dog's collar says its name is Popi. Ales is surprised that their first request was actually to find a dog and not a person. Suddenly, the three of them were surprised by Edwin and Fiona, who reveal that they, too, were requested to find the dog by the same person. Despite both guilds getting tasked to find the dog, Fiona asserts that their guild will be the one to fulfill the request. Sierra consults with Ales and Ales agrees to hand the dog over to Golden Eagle, insisting that what mattered most was getting the dog back to its owner safely regardless of who does it. Lisir is resistant to the idea, saying that they won't get paid if they don't fulfill the request. But she eventually relents and Edwin and Fiona take the dog.

Ales and Sierra later return to their guild's base where Lisir was waiting. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Lucifi steps through. Lisir is quick to point out how old the swordsman was despite being in his 20s. This struck a chord with Lucifi and he starts arguing with the magician. Shortly after, Viselc enters the premises and comments on the noise. Not being able to handle it any longer, Ales tells everyone to shut up and Sierra starts tearing up thinking he was mad at her. Ales apologizes and Viselc shakes his head at the situation.

Some time later, Lisir is about to head out of the guild headquarters when Ales interrupts her. He asks her where she's headed off to and Lisir responds that it's none of his business. She then disappears out the door towards Ant Hell. While wandering through the monster nest, she is caught off guard by another Frione and is knocked out. When she came to, she saw Ales and Sierra looking down at her. She asks them if they saved her, and then demands to know why they were there to begin with. She gets upset with them at first and then reveals that she's there to visit her parents' graves to say her last goodbyes to them alone. Ales and Sierra give her the space she needed to have closure with her parents. They then head back to their guild headquarters.

Time passes and before they knew it, the Garde guild has become well-known among the populace. Ales and the others were visited by Edwin once again and Lisir is quick to strike out at him for what happened with their first request. Edwin reveals that the Golden Eagle guild was no more and that he came to warn them that someone's going around destroying well-known guilds, including theirs. His partner Fiona was seriously wounded by the culprit, saying that he looked like a dark knight. This piqued Ales' interest, especially when Edwin adds that the person is looking for a girl with a peculiar headdress. He figured that their guild could be targeted and tells them to be careful. Before he leaves, he tasks them with a request he couldn't fulfill on his own due to Fiona being out of commission. He figures that they could have it since they took a request from them before. Ales thanks Edwin for the warning and accepts the request. With that, Edwin leaves, assuring them that the Golden Eagle will be back before they know it.

Ales later calls a meeting of Garde where Viselc and Lucifi both report rumors of a dark knight going around destroying up and coming guilds. Lisir jokingly wonders what would happen if the dark knight suddenly appeared right in front of them. Ales doesn't think too lightly of it and was about to explain to the others what happened to him a while back when the dark knight in question teleports into their headquarters. Without a word, he quickly shows his power and warns them that he will kill them if they resist. Ales tries to fight back, but the dark knight easily pushes him aside once again. He warns the guild again, but Lucifi, Viselc, and Lisir refuse to hand over Sierra without a fight. Ales manages to get up and tells the others to not get involved as this was his fight. The dark knight is amused and offers to humor him. They both engage in battle and as they gave their last ounce of strength in a final strike, a light enveloped them and Ales was passed out on the floor.

Ales was out cold for a while before he finally woke up again. The guild was happy to see he was well and explained what happened to him. Viselc doesn't think it'll be the last they'll see of the dark knight and Lucifi affirms that the dark knight was looking for Sierra after all. Ales thanks them for all they've done, as he feels he wouldn't have had the strength to fight the dark knight without all of them. Lisir starts joking about flying pigs, which annoys Ales.

While conversing with Lucifi and Ales on what to do to improve the guild's reputation, Lisir suggests that they go to Geffen. Lucifi wonders why Geffen and Lisir reasons that it's the city of magic, so of course she wants to do jobs there. Lucifi and Ales then tease about how Lisir barely wants to do anything around the guild, which upsets the magician so much that she leaves the headquarters. She quickly makes her way to Geffen where she overhears a young man being anxious about something and asks if he has a request she can fulfill. The young man began talking about how he just came back from the Mjolnir Dead Pit and can't seem to find his pendant anywhere. Without a second thought, Lisir offers to to to the mines for him to find the pendant and rushes off.

Inside the Mjolnir Dead Pit, Lisir is at a loss as to where to find the pendant and admits she should've asked for more information before running off. Suddenly she hears a noise behind her and becomes face to face with a Munak. She tries to fight it off with her magic, but the monster was unaffected by her spells. Lucifi arrives in time to kill the monster before anything happens. He tells her that they need to get out quickly and explains that the man had already found his pendant. Before Lisir could say much, Ales found both of them and expresses how glad he was to know they were both fine. Suddenly, another Munak appears and the three of them brace for battle. They manage to defeat it and Ales is impressed that Lucifi was able to get past his phasmaphobia to fight it. Lucifi couldn't believe it either despite stuttering a bit. Sierra and Viselc catches up with them and are glad Lisir and Lucifi are allright. Lisir starts teasing Lucifi about his phasmaphobia again and the swordsman takes off after her.

One day, the guild was visited by a merchant from Morocc who came seeking Viselc. He informs the thief that the children of Morocc have been struck with an illness and Viselc's aid was needed. Ales agrees to help the children of Morocc and Viselc suggests they bring Sierra long with them, as her healing abilities would be useful to help the children. He adds that Ales would want Sierra to come along anyhow, which causes Ales to burn red with embarrassment from such an accusation. Both Lisir and Lucifi tease Ales for his reaction while Sierra remains clueless as to what's going on. Lucifi and Lisir volunteer to remain behind to watch the guild's headquarters.

Some time later, a pink-haired blacksmith barges into the Garde headquarters and immediately began expanding the building to the surprise of Lucifi and Lisir. They were at a loss what to do, so they let the lead carpenter do his work. Ales returns to the headquarters soon after the construction was completed and the blacksmith greets him eagerly. With his work done, he heads for the Prontera tavern, leaving Ales speechless. Lucifi demands to know what was going on as the blacksmith caught both him and Lisir off guard. Ales explains that the blacksmith offered to expand their headquarters for his, Sierra, and Viselc's work in Morocc. Lucifi contends that Ales should've let them know what was going on and Ales counters that he didn't have time to. Lisir doesn't mind the disruption too much as the headquarters looks much nicer now.

Just then, the guild recieves a request from a Pronteran guard. It seems that a large number of people have fallen unconscious in the eastern Prontera forest and that they've all awakened from a terrible nightmare that left them quaking in fear. As such, the Order of the Knights have specifically requested for the Garde guild to investigate the forest and find out what caused people to pass out. Ales accepts the request and the guild heads off to the eastern forest. Wandering through the forest, the guild encounters a Succubus and Incubus disappearing and reappearing through the trees. The guild manages to track the monster pair down to a stream, but Viselc is struck down first, followed by Lucifi, Lisir, and then Ales. All four adventurers became trapped in their own personal nightmares. Eventually, Ales, Viselc, Lucifi, and Lisir all awaken from their nightmares surprised to see Sierra still standing. The Succubus returns with the Incubus and the two of them engage in battle with the guild.

The guild successfully vanquishes the monsters and Ales and Lucifi thank Sierra for saving all of them. Lisir questions why Sierra was the only one to not fall into a nightmare like they did, but Ales is quick to change the subject to the fact that they've solved the mystery of the unconscious people. Lucifi isn't sure if the issue is actually solved, but agrees that they should report back. Ales tells them that he and Sierra will catch up with them later and the rest of the guild departs.

Some time later, Lisir shows up to the guild headquarters with a man in a lab coat who says he's looking for Sierra. The man is happy to see that she was alive and well until he learns that she doesn't remember who he was. Despite that, the researcher hopes that Sierra had put all the bad things behind her by now and promises to stay by her side. Ales and the others question their relationship and the researcher reveals that his name is Gales and that Sierra came from a research facility he worked at. They ran away from the facility and when Ales asks why, Gales responds that it was best that they didn't know. However, he warns them that the guild is being hunted down, which is why he came to take Sierra away to hide. Lucifi and Viselc argue that Gales hasn't given them any reason to trust him and that being with the guild would mean Sierra would be better protected. Ales mulls it over and asks Sierra what she wants to do, but she doesn't quite know herself. Gales then suggests that he'll stay at the headquarters for a while, and if he feels that Sierra would be better off with the guild, then he will let her stay with them. In addition, Gales also has a request for the guild to obtain some documents from the research facility he used to work at. Viselc wonders if this request is a test for them, but Gales asserts that should the documents fall into the wrong hands, it would have disastrous consequences. Ales agrees to the request and Lucifi and Lisir volunteers to help Ales. Viselc sits out the request, saying that he wants to look into something and leaves. Ales tells Sierra to stay at the headquarters for her safety. When she protests, he adds that she needed time to think anyways, so Sierra relents.

Ales, Lucifi, and Lisir head for Juno, located in the neighboring country of Schwarzwald. There, they were to seek out a man by the name of Skal who can make a keycard that would grant them access into the research facility. The three of them track down the blacksmith Skal in the Juno item shop and ask him to make a Key Card for them. Skal doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Gales and says that although the Key Card would be easy for him to make, he won't do it for free. He demands a High Orc Helm in exchange for the Key Card and the Ales and the others have no choice but to agree. Lisir and Lucifi are annoyed at having to do an extra step to get what they need.

Ales, Lucifi, and Lisir head off towards the Elmes Plateau where they can supposedly find a High Orc to get the helm from. After a while of searching, they come across a group of High Orcs hunting down a Pecopeco that gets away. Lisir is unsure if they can take on a whole group of them, but Ales reminds them that they don't have much choice. Together, they struggle to take down the group of High Orcs. By the end of the fight, the three of them were able to procure a High Orc Helm from one of the monsters. Lisir is disappointed that they risked their lives for a piece of junk and Lucifi is eager to rush back to the item shop to smack Skal with the thing. With Key Card in hand, the three of them take the airship back to their headquarters in Prontera.

Upon returning to the guild headquarters, Ales sees Sierra and Gales having a rather friendly conversation with each other, which makes him feel a little hot under the collar. Sierra notices and asks Ales if anything was wrong, but Ales assures that he's fine. Seeing that they have the Key Card, Gales explains that their next destination was Lighthalzen, another city in Schwarzwald. There, the facility they will be infiltrating is known as the Somatology Laboratory. Inside the facility, they are to find a case file labeled "File F" and bring it back to Gales. Ales absorbs the information and immediately heads out of the headquarters, ignoring Sierra calling out to him. Lucifi and Lisir are unsure what to say as they follow their guildleader out.

After leaving the Juno airport, Lucifi tells Ales that Sierra was trying to tell him something, but Ales already knew. Lisir butts in about how Sierra looked like she was having a good time with Gales and Lucifi tells her to shut it. Ales tries to not think about it and focus on their mission at hand, which is now to travel from Juno to Lighthalzen. After passing through the Elmes Plateau, the three of them reach Lighthalzen. They prepare themselves and then head on over to the gate to the facility. A guard stops them before entering, stating that only authorized personnel were allowed to enter. Ales asserts that they were authorized personnel, flashing the Key Card at the guard. The guard then lets them pass and Lucifi comments on the strict security. They go inside and search around the facility in search of "File F" only to suddenly be surrounded by security Minorouses. The captain of the guard emerges and tells them that they knew Ales and the others were coming and were surprise they fell for their trap so easily. Lucifi quickly figures out that Gales was behind everything and starts arguing with Lisir since she was the one who brought the researcher to their headquarters. Now all angry at their predicament, Ales, Lucifi, and Lisir viciously fight their way out.

Making their way back to Juno and onto the airship, Lisir paces back and forth as she worries about whether or not Sierra was safe. Lucifi tries to lessen her fears when the airship comes under attack from a flying monster (Owl Baron). They manage to drive off the monsters, but the damage has been done as the airship was now falling to the ground. Ales, Lucifi, and Lisir brace themselves as the airship crashes into the ground. The three of them somehow survive the crash, but they landed somewhere between the Elmes Plateau and Mt. Mjolnir. They manage to run across an old man, who is able to direct them towards Prontera. Worried for Sierra, the three of them rush to get back to their guild headquarters.
