Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou

**Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou** (アリサ・ミハイロヴナ・九条, *Arisa Mihairovuna Kujō*; Russian: Алиса Михайловна Кудзё), or also known as **Alya** is the female main protagonist of the series. She is an honor student who boasts the highest grades in the school and serves as the treasurer of the student council. She is one of the two most beautiful girls of the school, and is called the "solitary princess".

## Appearance

She has a very light skin tone that is impossible to be found on genuine Japanese people, and long slit blue eyes that shine like sapphires. She has long silver hair, in a half up style. She has the beautiful appearance and the gentle and kind atmosphere inherited from her Japanese mother and her finely chiseled looks from her Russian father. In addition to her unparalleled looks, she is tall and has long, slender arms and legs. She has an outstanding figure that embodies the ideal of every woman in the world.

## Personality

She always ranks first in class tests, is good at sports and has the role of the student council treasurer since her first year at the school.

She is an honor student with excellent grades and a good conduct, and doesn't care about others for better or worse. However, it already is a well-known fact among her school year that she is exceptionally hard on her neighbor in class, who is a clear representation of the school’s unseriousness.

Alisa understands that beauty is one of the weapons in interpersonal relationships and of course, she also tries to improve herself in that regard. She doesn’t use make-up because it's against the school regulations but still, she's proud of her beauty, which rivals any celebrity out there. She isn’t interested in attracting the attention of the opposite sex in particular, but she knows that her appearance, especially her silver white hair, would attract people’s attention.

She also seems to be quite the possessive type and gets jealous easily.

## Background

As she grew up, she started acquiring social skills to an extent that her fundamental ideals and opinions remained unchanged. The disappointment and the lack of motivation from her classmates made her realize how ignorant they were, which created an unconscious condescension within her. Once she realized that, she drew a line in order to avoid any conflict with those around her, making her feel distant and reserved to others. She has the talent and competitive spirit that sets her apart from others.

In her third year of junior high school, Alisa returned to Japan because of her father’s work. Due to her parents’ recommendation, she transferred to Seirei Educational Institute, a prestigious school that is considered to be one of the best in Japan. If it is here, perhaps there could be someone who could compete shoulder-to-shoulder with her and at the same time, someone who could accompany her in her devotion of study. This let her have faint expectations.

However, Alisa’s faint expectations were cruelly crushed when she took a proficiency test right after transferring, scoring first place in her school year even after being away from Japan for 5 years. A transfer student is someone who doesn't know the test trends; even with this disadvantage, she achieved first place in her school year.

## Relationships

* Masachika Kuze: He was the only one who showed no interest in her, which left an lasting impression on her. However, when she reached the point where she started to pay attention to Masachika, Alisa noticed immediately that it’s not that Masachika isn't interested in girls or other people, it's just that he’s a guy with no motivation for everything: forgetting his textbooks, falling asleep during class, hurrying to get his homework done at the last minute in break time, not standing out and performing in PE class with the least minimum amount of effort. An ounce of motivation couldn’t be felt from his feckless attitude. With that said, Alisa lost interest in this neighbor, but that all changed during the school festival in September.

* Maria Mikhailovna Kujou: She's the older sister of Alisa and keeps teasing her when the opportunity arises. Maria deeply cares for Alisa so much that she wants her to call her 'Onee-san'
