Alisha Burke

Alisha Burke is a student at Pulse City High School when first introduced. Alisha is portrayed as a bright, sharp and confident girl who is determined to do the right thing. She eventually becomes "The Glow" and a main protagonist as one of the Saviours.

## Background

Alisha is the daughter of Lacey and Jackson Burke, living in mercy park, Pulse City East.

## The Beginning

During episode 1 of "Saviours", Alisha is mugged by a junkie who was looking for Trinity. The trauma experienced from this, encourages Alisha to take up self-defence classes and eventually, basic combat skills. It wasn't until she is inspired by seeing the Saviours in action does she wish to help others. Alisha stealthily follows The Spark toward the end of the first season and discovers that The Spark is in fact Dan Silver, one of her school teachers.

## Life As The Glow

Alisha eventually confronts Dan and the team at their base and asks to join them. Dan and Sarah are both apprehensive but Tamsin encourages it. Dan and Sarah train Alisha carefully and protect her at all costs. Alisha proves to be formidable in fighting and calculative in her technique. She would fight alongside Spark and Light against Omega whilst also living life as a student at Pulse City High.

At Dan's funeral, Alisha consoles in Jack Redford, beginning a strong friendship with him. Alisha, Sarah and Jack would track Omega down in an attempt to stop him from activating his machine housing The Artefact. The machine would be consumed in The Artefact's power, resulting in energies from The Artefact being released into the world. Alisha would gain the ability of telepathy on several levels. Alisha and Jack would eventually develop a romantic relationship at the time Sarah Woodward, their friend and mentor, becomes increasingly unstable.

As Alisha and Jack begin to discover the truth. They arrive too late to stop Sarah and Liam from travelling back in time. However, Alisha and Jack are pulled back also when they intervene. Alisha and Jack explain the situation to Sarah's past self who Liam and Sarah have already confronted. Despite this, Sarah makes the choice to change the timeline, saving Dan and Tamsin. Alisha and Jack are erased from time along with Sarah and Liam from the future also.

Alisha from the new present aids Sarah in saving Dan from Omega and his death. She attends the hospital to see him before getting ready for the end of year dance. Alisha and Jack then dance together at the dance, encouraged by Sarah with the future knowledge bestowed to her from her future team, and self.

## Ability

Alisha's exposure to The Artefact had led to her developing the ability of telepathy. Throughout the seasons, Alisha has discovered different aspects of her power as she has gained more control over them. Her aspects of telepathy include:

* Basic Telepathy (Receiving of thoughts, Sending of thoughts, Hearing thoughts of others)
* Empathic Telepathy (Sensing of others' feelings)
* Clairvoyance (Perceiving things or events in the future and occasionally, the Past)
* Astral Projection (Being able to project ones body/soul out of their own body to anywhere in the universe
	+ This ability was only ever seen in one episode in the series and was displayed in an episode of Saviours set in the future where Alisha had mastered all her abilities. This future was set in an erased timeline
