### Alisa Reinford

Rean's classmate and canonical love interest. Alisa is the first student Rean meets the day he arrives in Trista where she bump into him and fell down while Rean was enjoying the sights of the blooming lino flowers and help her up. Their relationship gets off to a rocky start at the beginning of Class VII's orientation, though, when Alisa landed on Rean's face chest-first when Rean tried to save her from falling. Despite the misunderstanding, Alisa slapped him for the insolence. It took a while for them before they finally apologized to each other for that incident, with Alisa admit being the one who was in the wrong.

They eventually grew closer as she began to open to about the complicate situation regarding her family and the Reinford Group during one of their field study trip at Nord Highlands while enjoying the view of the Night Sky. She explained how her mother used to treasured her family but changed after her father had passed away eight years ago and her family wasn't the same after that. She explained how her mother was focusing on making the Reinford Group bigger and how her relationship with her mother deteriorated as a result. Alisa then explained that she didn't have any friends but have her grandfather and Sharon her maid was there for her but sometime later Alisa reveals that the railway guns were manufactured by the Reinford Group against her grandfather's wishes and was forced to resign from his role as chairman of the Reinford Group after facing overwhelming pressure from the nobles and major shareholder and later Alisa's mother assume the role as Chairman of Reinford Group with Alisa couldn't understand why her Grandfather choose to not fight back and Sharon who supported her simply watched it all happen without protest which eventually led her to leaved home and enroll in Thors. Rean console her and says that Alisa is really strong as she finally began talking about her problem about her family, the Reinford Group and everything else and that she may have found a way to move past that which Alisa agreed which she believe she wouldn't be able to do that if she hadn't enroll in the academy that meeting everyone in Class VII including Rean and become a better person thanks to Rean's support expressing her gratitude toward Rean for his help.

Rean has another talk with Alisa during their field study in Roer. It eventually ends with Rean rubbing Alisa's head affectionately and praising her for her kindness towards others even when they annoy her, him most of all, and thanks her for it especially. Causing her to blush heavily as she's taken aback Rean's sincere words. She later expresses incredible annoyance at finding out that not long after their talk Rean quickly went out to meet with Claire alone (though Fie tags along with him), expressing clear jealousy over the matter as she berates Rean for it the following morning while Rean insisted that it not like that and he only came to meet her for some information. She becomes even more annoyed when Fie states that Rean couldn't keep his eyes off Claire the entire time while Rean denies it.

Alisa began to develop romantic feeling for Rean although she frequently denies it and her classmates from Class VII would frequently tease her about it much to her embarrassment, Her personal maid Sharon would also tease Alisa regarding her romantic feeling for Rean. As noted by Jusis her feeling for Rean was very obvious as it easy to read what she think and feel during those moments such as when Alisa would often become jealous whenever any girl show interest in Rean. When Rean received a love letter addressed to him where Alisa saw it which made her irritably jealous assuming the letter was from a cute girl while Rean didn't know how to respond to such things which annoys her causing her to run off. When trying to collect her thoughts and wondered why she was so caught up over Rean receiving a love letter and Alisa eventually realized her feeling for Rean. Alisa later follow Rean when she saw him going to the person who sent him the love letter which turn out to be a boy which Rean end up reject him much to her shocked and relief and eventually decides that she would have to tell her feelings for Rean eventually.

During the School Festival, Rean invited Alisa to dance which surprised her and accept his offer. afterwards Alisa confides to Rean about her doubts regarding their future. But makes note that so long as the "two of them" are together, they can overcome it. Alisa eventually realizes her slip of tongue, and tries taking it back out of embarrassment until Rean decides to hold her hand and tells her that he wants that, that although they're both still looking for their respective places in the world. Rean and Alisa were forced to part ways when the Erobonia Civil War began where Alisa left Rean with parting words that she will tell him everything that's in her heart before Rean was forced parts way with Alisa and the rest of Class VII.

Rean and Alisa later reunited at Nord. She quickly runs to hug him the moment she can, holding onto him for a good while she apologizes to Rean about what Class VII had put him through by forcing him to retreat from the battle of Trista and she was finally being able to keep her promise to him about "telling him everything that's in her heart" the moment they reunited but she quickly backs out of it due to being mentally unprepared. Gwyn Alisa's Grandfather can't help but comment on his granddaughter's boldness for sharing a rather passionate embrace with Rean causing Alisa to become embarassed Alisa tell her grandfather not to look deep into it.

When Rean and Alisa reunited after a year and a half since Class VII gratulation, the first thing Alisa did was run and embrace him. She admitted that she wanted to say something special when she saw him again, but the moment she tried, her mind went blank. Rean returned the favor and noted that Alisa had become much more beautiful to the point that he hardly recognized her. Alisa commented that the same went for Rean as he had become more handsome himself. Afterwards, Alisa congratulated Rean on his graduation from Thors, and he thanked her in response. Rean's students were taken aback by the intimate situation and couldn't help but note the highly intimate mood between them. Walter, one of Rean's students, commented on how lovey-dovey they were. Tio mentioned that there were rumors about Rean and Alisa's close relationship and that they were like a cute pair. Sharon teased them, explaining that it was merely a result of Alisa waiting for this day, and told everyone not to be surprised if they saw a kiss or two accompanied by tender embraces. This caused Rean and Alisa to separate in embarrassment, and Alisa called Sharon out for joking about that.

Later on, while being questioned about his relationship with Alisa by Walter and Juna, Altina called Rean out for putting on such a romantic scene in front of his students. She accused him of having indecent thoughts regarding Alisa. Sharon also teased him about the matter, telling him it was only natural that he would feel excited being hugged by someone as cute and beautiful as her. Rean initially tried to deny this but eventually admitted that he may have enjoyed it a bit. Although despite Rean and Alisa tried to keep anything regarding their relationship private their relationship is often too obvious to others as noted by others around them. Rean's students once again noting the very close bond between her and Rean, with Ash even wondering if the two of them did anything "special" last night when the Original Class VII had their reunion. Alisa quickly catches on and denies it.

Rean and Alisa decide to meeting over at Leeves and wanting to see Einhell Keep for herself as the Reinford Group has some involvement over it development. After doing so, Rean offer to take Alisa on a tour the school which she accept with Sharon decide to leaved early to give Rean and Alisa some alone time although Rean stated he also extend this offer to her as well but Sharon politely decline under reason meeting a old friend as she tease them that she wouldn't want to disturb their moment together much to Rean and Alisa's embarrassment, Afterward, Rean and Alisa eventually ends with them standing on the rooftop. As they both reminisce of their own school days at Thors, Alisa goes into a rant about her mother and the Reinford Group's recent actions and shows signs of being stressed by it. Without any prompting, Rean places his hand on her shoulder and pulls Alisa close, saying that he, more than anyone else, knows how hard Alisa works and believes that she can pull through and will support her if she needs it. Alisa notes that Rean is spoiling her, but smiles as she leans closer into Rean and asks to stay that way with him for a while longer, saying that she'll be able to do her best because of him with Rean obliging.

During the Summer Festival Rean invited Alisa out to spending some time with each other and the two of them partake in is a tram tour of Heimdallr where both Rean and Alisa go on to enjoy the sights. Afterwards Rean and Alisa walk around together around the city later about part ways but Alisa grab his sleeve asking to stay with her for a bit longer. Alisa began to talk about how the Reinford Group will become busier as the Railway Cannon will start active use soon more than ten thousand weapons and tanks will be use for war feeling guilty that her family are responsible for it but Rean reassure Alisa that he won't let that happen as they're in on this together and she is not facing this alone and will be there for her to support her and Rean confessed his feelings to her and that she is someone irreplaceable to him. Alisa felt touched by his words and thanked Rean as the two embraced and Alisa feel that she overcome anything now and want to give Rean the same strength and the two shared a kiss.

Alisa, upon finally getting a chance to be alone with Rean after his rescue from the Black Workshop, embraced him from behind. The look on her face showed that she had clearly wanted to do so for a while. Their following conversation also had a somewhat flirtatious tone, as Alisa made note of Rean's permanent white hair and red eyes as a result of the Curse of Erebonia. Rean thought she didn't like it, but she assured him otherwise and that regardless, he was still Class VII's most important person, especially for her. Rean responded by turning to face Alisa, as if to return the gesture, but stopped when he noticed the troubled look on her face, thus cutting the moment short. Alisa left with Rean noting that she must have a lot on her mind right now.

When Rean offered her assistance with maintenance for the EXA, which Alisa accepted, they took the opportunity to talk. Alisa said that when Rean offered to help, she was very happy, and for a second, she thought about turning him down. However, she decided that she needed to say something to him - that she loved him. But ultimately, she chose to abstain from expressing her love for Rean. Instead, she reminded Rean of what he told her at the Summer Festival - that she was an irreplaceable person to him and that he wanted to keep supporting her. Rean meant more to her than anything else, and her feelings for him had grown stronger over time. However, due to feelings of insecurity brought about by her family's recent actions, which had resulted in even Rean getting hurt by them, she asked him to forget what happened at the Summer Festival and suggested that they continue their relationship only as friends so that she could focus on supporting him along with everyone else. Rean was quite visibly distraught by what happened but obliged Alisa out of consideration for her feelings and due to their current circumstances, with Rean being the Sacrifice and Alisa's father, who was revealed to be alive, being involved in the Curse of Erebonia. However, Rean told Alisa to keep in mind that he was still grateful for her being there for him and that she could rely on him for anything. He hoped she would let him be there for her in a way that wouldn't be any different, to which Alisa agreed. They returned to work and later parted ways.

Their interactions were somewhat awkward for a period of time after that. While Alisa still had feelings for Rean, after what her father put him through, she didn't feel comfortable pursuing a relationship to the point where both of them showed no reaction when others tried to tease them about their relationship. Instead, Rean and Alisa would only respond with awkward silence, causing those around them to notice their strange behavior around each other and wonder what had happened between them.

However, when Alisa eventually resolved her familial issues and reconnected with Irina and Sharon, Rean eventually assisted Alisa together with Sharon in investigating the Fifth Development Division's secret activity within Reinford Group, along with the Fourth Development Division. A member of the Fourth Division was curious about Rean and wondered if Rean was Alisa's boyfriend, but another member scolded them for invading Alisa's privacy, and the members eventually went to work, leaving the rest to Rean, Alisa, and Sharon to handle. Rean noted that the Fourth Division was able to come through in a pinch, which Sharon agreed with, stating that every member was doing an excellent job getting things done. She teasingly stated that the only thing they dedicated more time to than their work was learning about Alisa's love life. Alisa asked them to leave that topic for another day and focus on investigating the issue within the Reinford Group. After everything was resolved, Rean and Alisa decided to relax after getting things done. They discussed everything that happened, and Alisa hoped that everything would be resolved smoothly, even if it wasn't 100 percent up to par. Rean agreed and noted this is happiest he seen in Alisa all day, which caused her to feel embarrassed. She noted that she had been having all kinds of weird thoughts for a while, but with everything that had happened, her resolve had strengthened. Reconnecting with her mother and Sharon played a big part in this, and she also noted that the Reinford Group would have to deal with various new problems that would eventually be taken care of. Alisa then thanked Rean for always standing beside her, as he was a pillar of strength for her and allowed her to face Sharon, her mother, and the man who was once her father. She couldn't be any happier being at his side. Rean then reminded Alisa of their previous conversation during the maintenance checkup and assured her that he would never ask her anything unreasonable. He understood how complicated things were right now but believed that it wasn't impossible to rebuild a large company like the Reinford Group and get it back on track, along with patching things up with Sharon, her mother, and the others. Rean hoped that their relationship had a chance, holding out his hand towards Alisa and saying that he could see the light of their relationship as warm and welcoming, waiting for them to take a chance. Alisa said she believed it did and placed her hand with Rean's, stating that she felt exactly the same way. As long as they believed, they would never lose sight of that light.

During the night in Mishelem Rean was in dilemma on what to do whether he should speak to Alisa one last time or chose not to and prepare the worst that may happen to him but when he witness Olivert proposal of marriage to his love interest Schera motivated him to see and spend Alisa one last time.

When Rean, Alisa and rest of Class VII return to Ymir after returning from North Ambria where Rean wish to speak with Irina Alisa's mother who was staying at Ymir with Rean's family recover from being shot few months earlier. When Irina ask what Rean want to asked her about which Rean respond that she like Irina's premission to married Alisa shocking everyone in the room included Alisa.
