Alyssa Takahitsuji

Alyssa Takahitsuji (高羊 アリッサ) is a mysterious genderbent AU version of Alfredo who came from a distant part of the Multiverse (presumably Aselia), seemingly teleported to the main homeworld by a mysterious force. After her arrival to Sunshine City, she went under the alias Alyssa Kaniska (アリッサ・カニスカ), bearing the the realm's Takahitsuji clan's crest: a butterfly.

## Appearance

Alyssa is a young adult female Esper with a short and spiky jet black hair with vermilion tips, presumably residue from her Sigil. Her eye color is the usual vermilion like her original self, and her physique is relatively athletic for a swordfighter. She wears a black hoodie with a white shirt underneath, gray fingerless gloves, black and white pleated skirt, black kneesocks and matching sneakers. As Alyssa Kaniska, she wears a scarf that covers her mouth and nostrils, giving her a ninja-like appearance. Sometimes Alyssa also wears a black sailor uniform with matching skirt and a red tie.

## Personality

Alyssa is a tomboyish yet dandere girl. She can be energetic and almost chaotic at certain times, but usually she's quiet and often scowls. She isn't a very complicated person, preferring action to thought whenever it suits her wants. Being a parallel version of Alfredo, she's less of an introvert despite her personality. Hanging out with her friends rates very highly on her list of enjoyable activities. Perhaps a little too high, given how weird it gets despite being ostensibly platonic between her and them. She gives and expects a great deal of loyalty, which makes it really easy to get on her bad side. Then again, she never was one for subtlety or sense. Unlike her original self, Alyssa lacks the taste for vengeance, but she's more justice-oriented.

## Family and relatives

* Pretty much the same as her original self except their gender roles are switched (i.e Mizuki being her father and Takeru being her mother)
* Alfredo Takahitsuji (AU/original self)

## Abilities

* Vermilion Volt: The progenitor of the Kinetic Jolt Sigil, but with a radiant red aura. Unlike Kinetic Jolt, Vermilion Volt lacks electromagnetism. However, Vermilion Volt comes with a set of EX Skills of its own.
* Swordsmanship: Like her original self, Alyssa is an adept swordfighter and she's also able to wield two blades on her own, one on her hand and one on her mouth. She wields Black Sky and White Order, though both of them came from the parallel world.
* Martial arts: In addition to his swordsmanship, Alyssa also excels in martial arts, namely aikido and judo. She uses her martial arts skills when someone knocks her sword off from her hand. When combined with Vermilion Volt, Alyssa's moves becomes even more potent and deadlier.
* Scarlet Papillon: A mysterious butterfly-like being created from Alyssa's own Dark Nightmare spawn and her Sigil combined into one, resembling Tippi from Super Paper Mario. It seemed to act like Alyssa's guide, but its powers are weaker compared to Scarlet Raven.

## EX Skills

* Pretty much the same as Alfredo's, except Alyssa lacks his Scarlet Raven side.

## Trivia

* Alyssa's appearance and personality are inspired by Rita Kaniska from Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger, Kaoru Shiba from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, Ryuko Matoi from Kill la Kill, Yuriko Suzushina from To aru Kagaku no Railgun, Yukiko Amagi from Persona 4, Kazuma Kendate from Kamen Rider Decade, Sun Huan from Dynasty Warriors and Miyabi from Senran Kagura. Her hairstyle is taken from Alfredo's son, Izana Takahitsuji.
* It is still unknown how Alyssa came to the main Esper homeworld, but it is probably caused by inter-dimensional beings like Hoopa or brought upon by a Multiverse Saviour like Satoshi Akari. She has no memories of her days back in the parallel world and arrived in Sunshine City like a blank slate.
* Interestingly enough, her alias' last name is a genus of nymphalid butterflies found in Southeast Asia.
* Alyssa's catchphrase is "how bothersome.." (面倒くさい). She usually says this when she scowls. Despite her cold yet dandere personality, Alyssa has a soft spot for cute animals and plushies.
* Her signature taunt is her clenching her right hand into a fist, before pressing her right thumb down like she is setting off a bomb. She usually does this before destroying her enemies with her EX Skills and finishers, blowing them up electrically.
* Alfredo treats Alyssa like as if she's his twin sister, while Marika treats her as her younger sister. If Takeru and Mizuki were still alive, they would've treated Alyssa as if they were their third child and second daughter.
* Alyssa's favorite activities includes listening to music, motorcycling, practicing her fighting skills, playing basketball with his friends, collecting plushies, helping others and enjoying a good cup of coffee. Unlike Alfredo, Alyssa has a distinct taste for pumpkin spice latte.
