Lisa Van Daal

**Lisa Van Daal** is a Stray Otherworlder, brought to the Central World as a result of the aftereffects of Gianni Hanraats' attempts at cracking the secret to interdimensional travel. After being brought to the Central World, she was found and rescued by residents of the Stinada Republic, and would decide to become a sort of Guardian for the nation as a means of repaying her dept to them.

## Appearance

Lisa is a highly attractive young woman with raven black hair and lime green eyes. Due to her biology as a demi-human, she has extremely smooth and slightly reflective skin that has been described as being almost doll-like.

## Personality

Prior to being abducted by the Oracle Foundation, Lisa was an ambitious and extremely persistent girl, who believed that anything that a person doesn't work to obtain is undeserved. Because of this, she had a drive to work for what she wanted, refusing to accept what she considered a "handout" or "charity", even with the less-than-ideal position her and her family was in.

She has a rather prideful aspect to herself, which often stopped her from asking help from others. Moreover she does not like feeling that she owes debts to people, and if she were put in a situation in which she had no choice but to accept help from someone, she has expressed that she feels a sense of unease that doesn't go away until she's repaid her supposed debt.

She has a way of being very direct in her opinions, beliefs and thoughts, and is truthful almost to a fault, often sparking situations with her words that could very easily be avoided had she decided to slightly mince her words.

She has shown that she doesn't feel much in terms of pity, even in her childhood, as she has no problem with tearing other people down in order to build herself up, which was shown during the several occasions in which she would sabotage her competing street performers to make them look terrible, whether it be taking bits and pieces off of their stages to make it so that they fall through the stage mid-performance, or setting up traps to put them in a scenario to cause an injury (usually non-serious) or putting them into more lewd positions that would shatter their reputation.

Despite these "eccentricities", she has shown that she is capable of showing humility, and was fully capable of conversing with people and establishing genuine relationships with people, and was genuinely fond of the fanbase that she managed to amass through her performances, feeling a sense of pride and joy when looking around at the large number of people gathered to see her, considering it to be the fruits of her labors.

She tends to take good care of the people she has formed a connection to, often going to extreme and drastic lengths to protect and care for them, most notably shown by her relationship with the Stinada Republic, with which she swore to protect with her life, after being found and rescued by some of the Republic's citizens after she escaped from the Kingdom of Doran.

## Background

Originating from a world where magic and the supernatural was slightly more prominent in daily life, but still relatively new, Lisa was born to a human mother and a humanoid father as a hybrid of the two, though barely noticeable.

Growing up in a rather poor area, and with her parents struggling to get themselves through each day, often going to extreme and less-than-legal lengths to do so, facing discrimination and prosecution as a result, she often dreamed of someday making tons of money to share with them, to allow them to live a happy, peaceful life.

She spent days on end pondering over how she would start on accomplishing this goal, eventually finding herself enthralled in the seemingly endless streams of street performers, actors and singers, all hoping for the same as her, and deciding that she would not only outshine them, but completely eclipse them. Despite her determination, she found that the competition was more complex than she initially suspected, finding herself lacking in both audience and performance quality, and would go on to spend weeks attempting to improve in her newfound field.

However after all the effort, she still failed in garnering a decent audience. Though, the excitement of seeing the number of eyes on her grow, no matter how minimal, was enough to keep her pushing to be better, and she would once again break away from the public eye to practice on her own, this time taking months to hone her talents, and, surprisingly to her, this strong will and continuous determination, combined with her natural-born physiology which perpetually absorbed magicules, allowed her to obtain a Unique Skill; Showman. Naturally, after seeing the skill's capabilities, which allowed her to generate illusions which corresponded with her performances, she took to the public, putting on one of the most lively and vibrant concerts ever seen in her locality.

This particular performance, and the ones following it, would garner unprecedented amounts of attentions, being famous enough that people would travel from different countries and continents to see her perform, eventually making her such a notable figure that she was picked up by a large idol corporation and given the opportunity to go on tours, all of which would raise thousands, sometimes even millions of dollars, with almost every cent of what she earned being sent to her parents.

However, her ability was eventually revealed to be more than just simple theatrics and special effects, and she was targeted by her dimension's established version of Odin's Eye, with this particular iteration, without the guidance of Zola Feldt, had become an organization based on capturing and analyzing individuals with especially anomalous abilities, even within the semi-magical world they lived in.

It was here where she would spend several years of her life, undergoing inhumane experiments day-after-day, with the constant trauma altering her personality and mentality so much so that she eventually manifested a second Unique Skill known as "Autonomous", as well as an evolution to Demonoid. With this new power, she went on a rampage, slaughtering any and all that came into her line of sight, but was eventually overwhelmed and almost killed in her escape attempt, however, both unfortunately and luckily, it was at that moment that a tear in space-time opened before her, as a result of Gianni's experiments, dragging her to the Central World and dropping her in the Stinada Republic.
