Happyakumantaro: He wears a T-shirt with a Hawaiian print and a medium-sleeved, single-breasted business jacket.

He dons a pair of sandy brown fisherman sandals and seafoam green trousers.

Dilovar: He wears a midnight blue dress shirt and a heliotrope magenta double-breasted business jacket featuring two breast pockets, slant pockets, and six gold buttons. He dons close-fitting jeans in Persian blue, a loosely tied steel pink bowtie, a cerise belt with a gold snap-on buckle, and a pair of electric violet sneakers with cyan soles and laces.

Mikuláš: He wears the same summer uniform as the higher-ranking officers of the Military Office of the President of the Republic, but without the cap.

Thandolwethu: She wears a simple African violet doek, a loose-fitting off-white tank top, a Xhosa-inspired skirt with a black waistband, and a pair of taupe gladiator sandals. Draped over her shoulders is a shawl featuring a burnt orange, deep burgundy, plum, and turquoise Ikat pattern with fringed olive green edges.

Harvie: He wears a beryl blue T-shirt depicting the album cover of Converting Vegetarians by Infected Mushroom, along with slightly baggy harem pants featuring a blue paisley print, tucked into his military-issued boots. Over his T-shirt, he wears a cardigan with an azure fringed bottom and thick coloured bands that mimic a dark rainbow, transitioning from red at the top to indigo at the bottom.

Amilcare: He wears a white linen dress shirt, a silky soft lavender bowtie, terracotta trousers featuring dusty rose pinstripes, and light grey Chelsea boots. He also wears a sky magenta suit vest adorned with four golden buttons and three bundled Madonna lilies, with their stems and leaves, embroidered on both sides and mirroring each other.

Souma: He wears a rust-coloured dress shirt paired with a single-breasted dark red blazer featuring flap pockets and five bronze buttons. He dons cargo pants in an urban camouflage pattern, secured by a black-buckled leather belt, and tucked into butterscotch dress boots.

Priyanka: She wears a robin egg blue Bengali-style sari, rimmed with flowing, glittering teal water and lined with beachy sand. On the other side of the shoreline, there's an alternating pattern of red-orange tomatoes, Madagascar periwinkles, butterfly peas, and yellow trumpetbush. She dons a pair of fern green Converse shoes, decorated with embroidered white daisies and featuring ivory-hued soles and laces.

Yohanes: He wears a Pakaian Dinas Upacara II uniform and a pair of heliotrope grey loafers.

Zdravko: He wears a black button-up shirt with eight silvery white buttons and a loose-fitting sangria tie. Over this, he wears a knitted amaranth sweater that he made with Nadia's help, featuring a bronze zipper and a couple of intentionally small ripped holes at the centre front. He dons somewhat loose-fitting denim jeans held up by a silver-buckled alizarin crimson belt and a pair of orchid purple derbies.

Blood type: AB-

Weight: 167 lbs. (75 kg)

Design: She's a 5" 8' (172.72 cm) American endomorph with rigid muscles, broad shoulders, upper arms that carry some of her weight, a robust chest, some belly fat, and sturdy thighs. She has tanned porcelain skin, Byzantine blue eyes with rufous flecks, and black freckles scattered across her face, neck, shoulders, and chest. She has straight raven black hair that falls to her elbows, which she dyed a space cadet colour that reflects shimmering hues of celestial blue and pale azure in the sunlight. Occasionally, she ties it into a ponytail with a reddish-brown hairband.

Her lower right lateral incisor and upper left cuspid are completely missing. She has scrapes on her knees and lower legs, an amputated right thumb, and a gnarly knife scar near the centre of her right shoulder. A jagged, thin scar extends from the right side of her temple, snakes down the bridge of her nose to the centre, and continues to the top of her scalenus medius. Her knuckles are heavily scarred, and she has a somewhat torn right iliopsoas muscle.

Alisa's military gear consists of a metal dog tag necklace with her name, timberwolf gloves, hunter green leather wristbands, and a pearlescent white cap. She sports a right-side drop leg holster for her handgun and a pearlescent white vest with four pockets, featuring the P.F. Squad logo on the back. She wears alabaster army cargo pants held up by a non-photo blue belt with a silver-grey snap-on buckle, tucked into bistre paratrooper boots with beaver brown laces and sturdy soles. Occasionally, she swaps it for mid-thigh hunter green cargo shorts with timberwolf hems and ripped, distressed hip vents that reveal her dark grey underwear. Underneath her powder blue tank top, she wears a self-made vest with an adamant reinforced plate and durable russet Kevlar fabric sewn together with crude black stitching.

The pockets of her vest carry a blue-tinted silver flask of Coca-Cola, a bag of shelled peanuts, a small jagged cylindrical piece of gold (a gift from Gimlet), and her great-uncle's lucky 20 Gauge Dragon's Breath shotgun shell. The pocket of her army cargo pants or shorts carries her grandfather's jaw with the right second premolar and central incisor replaced by a pure gold tooth and a silver one in place of the left canine. The jaw serves as a symbol of good luck and fortune, and a reminder of the positive aspects of her family.

Alisa carries a light tan load-bearing backpack that contains camping equipment, tactical explosives, portable ammo boxes, a canteen full of water, a parachute, a mechanic's toolbox, a Heavy Machine Gun, and a Rocket Launcher. There’s a waist pack attached centrally to her lower torso, connected by shoulder straps and wide side straps that extend from the pack to the backpack. It contains extra ammo for her firearms and a wrench that once belonged to her father. It also holds a circular piece of dark-stained oak wood, featuring a painting of a single Rosa rubiginosa in the centre of a golden wheat field. This was a gift from her artistic younger sister, meant to remind Alisa of home whenever she goes off to battle.

On both sides of the side straps, there are two strapped holders: the left contains a flashlight, while the right holds a length of rope. There are also two pouches, one on each side of the shoulder straps in the chest area, containing two magazines for her handgun. Three inches above her frontal waist pack is a strap with a snap-on silver-grey buckle and another one just above the collar of her tank top, which both connect the backpack shoulder straps together.

Character summary: She's a stoic, grumpy, and tough tomboy with a pragmatic, unsentimental, and shrewd approach to life, marked by a willful stubbornness. Highly opinionated and no-nonsense, she views distractions, bigotry, incompetence, and troublemaking as weak excuses for failing to accomplish tasks and making oneself look foolish. She scoffs at those with overly optimistic and simplistic views of the world, dismissing them as naive and unrealistic. Her honesty can be uncomfortable, often coming across as blunt and abrasive; however, she's capable of telling comforting lies to reassure others. She's extremely intelligent, cunning, and resourceful, always considering what's best for herself, her family, and the people she serves and aids. She possesses a strange familiarity with military-grade technology, weapon handling, and vehicle mechanics, allowing her to easily understand their inner workings as she begins the inspection process.

She can adopt the persona of an aloof drill sergeant, motivating her comrades with tough love and a bit of physical action. She's fearsomely brave, unfazed and desensitised to the harsh realities of the world. In battle, she's brutally violent and fierce, creating an intimidating presence that causes some of her enemies to surrender in fear. She has a belligerent temper that can be easily triggered and is extremely foul-mouthed, often leading her to say things she doesn't mean, including misandrist, anti-LGBTQ, and racist remarks. Due to her trust issues and cynicism, she often comes across as aggressive, apathetic, and condescending when interacting with unfamiliar faces, especially if they have made a poor first impression on her.

She has a deadpan sense of humour and enjoys making playful insults and teasing people about the silly mistakes they make. When undisturbed and in a good, welcoming mood, she can be very mellow, easygoing, generous, and carefree. Surprisingly, she's great with children, often treating them to sweets and acting like a caring, wise aunt. Although she's wealthy, she prefers a simple life, finding it beautiful and easy to manage. She enjoys giving people money on their birthdays, even if she dislikes them. She enjoys watching controversial and disturbing movies, occasionally quoting her favourites to tease people. She enjoys adopting a Southern accent, believing it makes her more interesting, and she's quite skilled at it. She's a heavy drinker but exercises some self-control, refraining from drinking during work, knowing that intoxication can spell disaster. When she's inebriated, she becomes petulant, socially withdrawn, and prone to sudden fits of weeping and body insecurity. She rarely speaks, often incoherently mumbling and grumbling about anything she wants to nitpick.

As a lone wolf, she prefers to work alone and will either vehemently or politely refuse teamwork, believing she can handle everything by herself. However, she'll hesitantly accept it when absolutely necessary and she cannot manage a mission on her own, acknowledging that teamwork is crucial in extreme circumstances. She places a strong emphasis on family, including those she personally likes, believing that they're essential for healthy living and achieving the happiest and safest life possible. She finds extraterrestrials to be disgusting, untrustworthy, and unpleasantly abnormal, a sentiment that extends to the Pipakhroz, Malkuth, Draco, Raubtier, and Celaphios. This is much to their dismay as they seek recognition as helpful and friendly allies and mean no harm to humanity.

She's incredibly hardworking and won't stop until she's very hungry, heavily dehydrated or mentally exhausted. Her dedicated work ethic and unwavering sense of duty border on workaholism. She becomes furious when people distract her during work and will angrily tell them to leave her alone, even going so far as to curse at them and physically carry them away to someone else. However, she doesn't respond this way to friends or when people interrupt her for work-related reasons, such as needing help with repairing a mechanical part. She becomes furious when her wrench goes missing, as it holds genuine sentimental value, and will hunt down anyone who took it and didn't return it, forcefully retrieving it. However, she allows trusted mechanics and engineers to borrow her wrench without asking as long as they return it.

She's always finding something to harshly criticise and insult if it doesn't meet her high standards for being a respected member of society. She hates feeling weak and views vulnerability as a display of pathetic weakness. At times, she appears empty and depressed as evident in her monotone speaking voice and disinterested expression. She isn't afraid to talk down to anyone, including her superiors, and often makes misery-tinged observations and half-hearted compliments. Somewhat nihilistic and sociopathic, she sometimes exhibits a lack of empathy and disregard for others, along with impulsive decision-making, callous thinking, and seeking power and control through aggression. She despises how she resembles her father in terms of personality and dislikes the person he is, yet a small part of her cares about him because he's the reason her family remains functional and alive.

She believes that the Sparrowhawk Operations Base is cursed because it feels like drama occurs almost every day. As a result, she understands why Marco is suicidal; he can't handle the unnecessary stress and nearly constant drama that comes with his team. Although she treats Marco's team with respectful camaraderie, she isn't afraid to step in—especially when requested by Tequila and Clark—to put them in their place when things get out of hand. Her stern, frustrated intervention often causes them to stop what they're doing and fall silent before apologising and resuming their tasks. Among Marco's team, she frequently clashes with Eri, refusing to tolerate her unnecessarily rude behaviour towards both Tarma, a fellow mechanic she considers a true friend, and Leona, a high-ranking mercenary she treats with dignified respect and regards as a good acquaintance.

She has slight romantic feelings for Gimlet, viewing him as a misunderstood charmer who just needs deep patience and sound emotional logic to guide him onto the right path. Although his behaviour can be irritating and even downright inappropriate, she'll never engage in a verbal and physical fight with him; instead, she kindly puts him in his place and respectfully encourages him to do better. She sees a part of herself in him, knowing what it's like to be difficult to approach, struggle to form meaningful connections, and remain emotionally detached from many things. She's on a similar journey as Gimlet, striving to become a better person, break free from her troubled past, and find true optimism in life. She hopes that her experiences and genuine support can be reassuring and helpful to him on his journey of self-improvement.

After their unexpected drunken one-night stand, she reluctantly accepted her romantic interest for him, feeling appreciated and understood in his presence. She becomes a calming, affectionate force in Gimlet's life, offering wise advice and solutions to the problems that are bothering him. Like everyone else she genuinely cares about, she's reasonably protective and ensures that he's happy and safe. They enjoy lightly teasing each other, but her teasing often leaves him embarrassed, causing him to feign grumpiness as he struggles to hide his flustered state.

She's a close friend of Nathalie, sharing her deeply ingrained militarism and being the only person, besides Gimlet, she doesn't complain about teaming up with. She views Nathalie as a little sister and shares her frustrations regarding Roberto, often rudely talking about him behind his back. They engage in sisterly banter that's well-meaning and playful, rarely escalating into heated arguments over differing opinions; when disagreements do arise, they quickly dissipate and return to being cordial. They often find themselves embarking on fun-loving misadventures, especially when they're off work and feeling bored or when they're partaking in bloody battles.

She's also quite close to Clark, finding his eerie aloofness and calmness oddly admirable. She thinks it's amusing that he tolerates her presence because, according to Ralf, he tends to stay away from "super angry and tough-brained hardasses". While she doesn't mind teaming up with him, she prefers not to, believing he already has enough on his plate as an elite mercenary and could use a relaxing break whenever he gets the opportunity.

She has a strong disdain for Roberto, actively avoiding him and deliberately pushing him away. She finds him unpleasantly annoying due to his persistent attempts to make friends, his obvious mommy issues, and how forced his positive emotions can feel at times. She views him as a "misogynistic asshat" and is absolutely disgusted by some of the sexist remarks he made when she enraged him in her attempts to get him to leave her alone and belittle him for his professional incompetence. However, when Leona is around, she acts convincingly nice and kind towards Roberto, not wanting to infuriate his love interest.

Backstory: Elizabeth Joline Stewart was born July 2, 1994 in Alabama, United States. The Stewarts are a militaristic family of social conservatives and evangelical Protestants, but they also hold some nihilistic, atheist, and liberal views. They originated from the regions of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Florida, accumulating wealth through military service, agriculture, textile production, and forestry. They participated in Bleeding Kansas, the Second Opium War, the Reform War, the American Civil War, and the Egyptian Expedition, earning a reputation as brilliant and innovative soldiers and commanders known for their toughness and self-reliance.

After the wars they participated in took a significant financial toll on their small farming and forestry business, family members began to rapidly dwindle due to a lack of access to healthcare services, multiple fraudulent betrayals from hired workers, and social ostracism stemming from persistent mental health issues. This led to an increase in suicides and a decrease in survival rates from deadly diseases within the family. In response, they moved to Alabama to enter the agricultural and ranching industry of the Progressive Era, driven by a desperate attempt to overcome the struggles of lower-class citizens, start anew, and contribute to the economic growth of society while providing their war veteran family members with a renewed sense of purpose.

They engaged in growing crops such as cotton, corn, peanuts, and potatoes, while also raising cows, sheep, and goats for meat production, chickens for eggs, and gaited horses for horseback riding competitions. By the 1920s, as cars became common in the United States, the Stewarts, who had military family members knowledgeable in mechanical processes and construction, decided to start an affordable auto repair business in Alabama. Their new Alabamian life proved to be extremely successful because many were interested in partnering with a resilient family that clearly understood how business worked. These reliable partnerships with other farmers, ranchers, and auto technicians enhanced their wealth development, making them very rich.

Her paternal grandfather, Jebediah "Stu" Stewart Sr., was a gold miner and construction and demolition specialist who retired from those professions to become a cowboy, crop farmer, and family business manager. He married an unknown woman who was strangely erased from history after the birth of their youngest child, and the family refuses to speak of her as if she were insignificant. They had three children: an eldest son, Zachariah "Zach", who was a financier, crop harvester, and poultry farmer; a middle daughter, Milcah "Mil", who's a sheep herder and horse caretaker; and a youngest son, Jebediah "Jeb" Stewart Jr., who's a car mechanic and cattle and goat rancher.

Her maternal grandmother was a businesswoman specialising in ethical animal treatment and study. She had a younger brother named Tennessee, a war veteran who fought on the frontlines and knows how to operate combat technology, but who chose to lead a simple life as a survivalist hunter and farm groundskeeping. Her grandmother had a daughter named Virginia, who was a livestock veterinarian and horticulturist. Virginia's family is primarily composed of Tuatha Dé Danann descendants, and their special genes would be passed on to the daughter's children after she consummated her arranged marriage with Jeb.

When Stu passed away from complications caused by an undiagnosed pneumoconiosis that he had kept hidden from the family, he made an unusual request: that his jaw should be an heirloom for the firstborn of the new generation to symbolise their status as the family's new heir. Zachariah was disgusted by the idea of having children, believing they were an unnecessary pain to manage, while Milcah faced severe fertility complications and didn't feel ready to start a family. As a result, Jeb took it upon himself to have children with his newly married wife. Hoping to carry on the Stewart family legacy, Jeb wanted his first child with Virginia to be a boy. However, he was gravely disappointed and somewhat furious when their first child turned out to be a girl, whom they named Elizabeth.

Jeb and Virginia ended up having three more children: Benaiah, an agricultural equipment technician and oil changer; Carolina, an animal nutritionist; and Arkansas, a ranch mechanic and butcher. Elizabeth also had six cousins, four of whom were the result of three one-night stands from Tennessee, while the other two were Milcah's adopted children: an African-American boy and a female Irish immigrant. They all contributed to farming and auto repair work, including financial management, meat processing, and healthy crop production. As her siblings grew older and found romantic partners—except for Arkansas, who had adopted a runaway Mexican teenager—Elizabeth would have three nieces and six nephews: one niece and one nephew from Benaiah; two nieces and four nephews from Carolina; and one nephew from Arkansas.

As she grew up, her family referred to her by a couple of nicknames and playful insults, but "Alisa" resonated with her the most because it rolled off the tongue nicely. She and her siblings were extensively homeschooled by knowledgeable, well-educated family members, utilising their small familial library and learning through real-world experiences, such as grocery shopping, with varying levels of adult supervision. At 4 months old, she said her first word, "unky", while Zach was babysitting her during his day off and entertaining her with juggling word blocks. By the age of 2, she could name all the horse breeds in Alabama without any assistance and understood the basics of Mendelian genetics. When she turned 6, she learned the function of every car mechanic's tool through observation and what her father taught her, effortlessly memorising each one with relative ease.

Out of all of Jeb's children, Alisa was Tennessee's favourite great-niece, often accompanying him on survival-based trips while he nonchalantly ranted about his military experiences and taught her skills he learned during his cadet years. He sparked her strong interest in the military, much to Jeb's annoyance as he wanted her to focus on farming and mechanics. Zach found it amusing and would jokingly say she was "a country gal destined for a militant life", while Virginia viewed it more wholesomely as her uncle introducing Alisa to a potential opportunity she could pursue in the future. Tennessee even gave her his lucky cartridge, a 20-gauge Dragon's Breath shotgun shell that had been gifted to him by an old war comrade and former friend who died in the early years of the Vietnam War.

She served as an apprentice mechanic and ranch hand, and as the heir, she was taught many essential skills for managing the Stewart family business by Jeb, Zach, Mil, Virginia, and her grandmother. These included animal husbandry, harvesting, the appropriate use of farm equipment, pesticides, and herbicides, the fundamentals of mechanical repairs, and processing cotton fibres. eb was a decent father who loved his children and treated them with dignity, love, and respect, even though he was often violently angry, perpetually exhausted, and somewhat coldly distant. To prevent total burnout, he received plenty of help from his siblings and Virginia's family, but something changed in him after a couple of unexpected events.

A month after Alisa turned 11, Virginia's hollowed-out corpse was found in their cornfield by Carolina in the afternoon. Nobody knew what had happened, and the authorities couldn't figure it out, but Zach knew the truth. Overcome with guilt and shame for not protecting Virginia, he wrote a note detailing that some masked cultists had approached her while she was attending the chicken coop late at night, threatening to take the lives of their children because they needed a dead body for a ritual. They wouldn't take no for an answer unless a substitute was given, so she offered herself and allowed them to harvest her organs for the ritual. Zach walked into the crime scene and was forced to aid them or risk being silenced, which he reluctantly and remorsefully complied with. Unable to live with the weight of this terrible incident, he took his own life by mixing a lethal amount of gasoline with a bottle of Everclear. A few days after hosting a funeral for Virginia and Zach, Alisa's grandmother mysteriously vanished without a trace, and Milcah, along with her two adopted children, moved out of Alabama to live in Oklahoma, wanting to distance themselves from the misfortune and abandoning the Stewart family.

Jeb was grief-stricken and furious at his inability to protect his family, feeling abandoned by his only living sibling. In his despair, he turned to excessive drinking and self-isolation, immersing himself in work while frequently neglecting his youngest children. In his absence, Tennessee stepped in as a father figure for Jeb's children, deeply caring for his great-nieces and great-nephews and wanting them to enjoy their childhood. However, he was rarely home as he took on additional farming and mechanic duties to support the Stewarts.

When Tennessee was away, Alisa took on the responsibility of caring for her younger siblings. She prepared barbecued meals and baked sweet treats, skills she learned from Zach, Milcah, and her grandmother, while also teaching them basic life skills such as math and reading. Unfortunately, she was often forced into manual labor around the farm and auto repair shop as Jeb insisted that she continue fulfilling her role as an heiress and stop being "lazy cunt". Spending so much time with her father, Alisa began to adopt some of his unhealthy behaviours and beliefs, including heteronormative, sexist, and racist attitudes, which she viewed as normal. This contributed to her struggles in making friends with the local children, who viewed her as aggressive and were unable to match her rapidly advancing intelligence. Additionally, she sometimes acted as a rude bully towards her brothers, but she was always kind and relaxed with her younger sister. Whenever Tennessee was present, he would step in to correct her behaviour with a firm but gentle approach.

Jeb was physically and verbally harsh with her, subjecting her to misogynistic criticism and minimal physical beatings as punishment if she messed up, talked back or asked to take a break. Crying only made it worse as he rudely mocked Alisa, telling her to man up and get back to work or threatened that she wouldn't eat lunch or dinner and would be sent to bed early, which made her eerily aloof. There were times when he was kind-hearted, gentle, and understanding, being patient with her failures and teaching her new skills at work. Most of the time, he was unpleasant, snarky, and irritable, not tolerating her mistakes and roughly handling her to move her from place to place, sometimes leaving bruises. His abuse always occurred behind closed doors, and he threatened to abandon her downtown if she dared to say anything about it, forcing her to convincingly lie about her bruises, black eyes, and bloody noses—a skill she continues to use in certain circumstances like protecting a comrade's life. To cope with Jeb's harm and physical punishments, she often socially withdrew and lit matches in the darkest corner of her family's old barn as a way to calm down.

When she turned 13, she finally started puberty, prompting everyone to jokingly refer to her as an "early pube bloomer", which always got under her skin. To celebrate her coming of age, Jeb gifted her Stu's jaw, telling her to never lose it as it was a remnant of her grandfather and a symbol of prosperity and hard work. This led her to carry it with her every day of her life, even going so far as to sleep with it and take showers with it.

During her teenage years, in an effort to appease her father, she snuck into the downtown area to steal alcohol for him, which he strangely approved of and appreciated, showing no concern for the thievery. She sometimes went downtown to steal candy for her siblings and engage in brutal fistfights with delinquents to practice her fighting skills and prove to herself that she wasn't a girly sissy. In one of these fights, a perverted delinquent who sought revenge for Alisa beating him up cut off her thumb while fondling her, but she managed to escape after kicking him in the nuts. She received immediate medical help from Tennessee, and while Jeb was furious that some punk had hurt his daughter, both he and her great-uncle praised her for standing up for herself.

Whenever she was filthy from work and playing outside with her siblings, Jeb would drag her to the bathroom, the coldest and loneliest room in their home. As a believer in tough love, he would force her into cold baths and scrub her harshly, not allowing her any privacy and inappropriately touching the intimate parts of her body. It was even worse when she got home from a brutal fight as her father would rudely scold her and criticise her dirty appearance.

At the age of 19, she received a substantial inheritance from her grandmother, which greatly shocked her as she initially believed that her grandmother was somehow still alive and had fled Alabama for her safety. Instead of hoarding all the money for herself, she divided it among her siblings and deposited some into her savings account. On her 21st birthday, after being struck across the face and insulted in a dehumanising way by Jeb for accidentally spilling a bit of gasoline, she had had enough. In retaliation, she secretly signed up to join the Peregrine Falcons Squad, hoping to earn decent money for the Stewarts, seek a more exciting and fulfilling life, and do some good for the world. When her family discovered this after Jeb found the mail confirming her acceptance, her father was sulky and displeased, but he reluctantly encouraged her to pursue a military career. Tennessee was extremely proud of her, confident that she would make a great soldier. Benaiah was indifferent yet intrigued by the news, while Carolina was worried but recognized that this was what Alisa wanted, so she hesitantly accepted and supported her decision. On the other hand, Arkansas thought it was cool that his older sister was joining the military.

Once she joined the Peregrine Falcons Squad and completed her training, she proved her worth as a fierce, independent, and willful soldier who grew fond of the Slugs. She tinkered with Regular Army vehicles whenever she found the right excuse, such as fixing an ally's damaged Slugnoid. She also familiarised herself with military technology and learned to handle the weapons used by the Regular Army and their special forces units, including the Heavy Machine Gun and Shotgun. Noticing her exceptional mechanical skills and how she effortlessly treated each vehicle as if she were dissecting a frog and putting its body back together again with little to no help, they asked if she would like to become one of their engineers. Seeing this as an opportunity to earn more money and build a solid military reputation, she accepted the offer.

She met Tarma during his time as a commissioned officer while he was repairing a comrade's damaged motorcycle and experimenting with new sheet metal painting techniques. They bonded over their shared love of mechanics and their innate familiarity with the subject. Impressed by his robotic and mechanical skills, they developed a strong friendship, exchanging valuable knowledge, offering physical assistance, trading jokes, and sharing celebratory drinks. As Marco began forming meaningful friendships, Tarma introduced her to him. Both sensed a connection through their shared Tuatha Dé Danann heritage, and they quickly became good acquaintances, united by their hyperintelligence, military knowledge, and a mutual frustration at feeling misunderstood and alone.

When the Great Morden War began, she left the Regular Army, driven by a desire to protect her family and support them during this challenging time. This allowed her to reconnect with her loved ones and meet the newest members of her family. Three weeks after the war, she returned and found herself overwhelmed with mechanical repairs and engineering tasks due to a shortage of skilled engineers. Tarma was surprised to see Alisa again, breaking down in tears and hugging her tightly. As she hesitantly comforted him, he expressed his feelings of abandonment and recounted everything that had happened during her absence. Despite his concerns, he was genuinely relieved to see that she was alive. Tarma learned that she had left to help her family, stating that if she died unceremoniously on the battlefield, they would be losing a daughter, an older sister, an aunt, and the great heiress to the business.

After the Extraterrestrial Alliance Clash, Pupipi sent out some Pipakhroz spies into the Rugname to gather intel on the current operations of the Pipovulaj. They discovered excavation plans for an unidentified relic that may have been built by the Tuatha Dé Danann in the Great Sand Sea, along with a plan to unearth it and use its capabilities to initiate a new global uprising, which kickstarted the Warrior Triumph. To put an end to this, the Regular Army higher-ups assigned the mission to Alisa and encouraged her to team up with Clark. However, she firmly and politely declined the offer of assistance, believing she could handle it alone and concerned about Clark's mental health. She cited the need to give him a break, fully aware of the difficult mercenary work that the Ikari Warriors do.

She was first deployed in the Chihuahuan Desert, where she learned about an illegally established base receiving drug shipments and a location where a Mars Battle UFO was being studied and improved to integrate the ability to produce energy balls and exhibit more fluid movement. Pushing her way through a Rebel-Syndicate encampment filled with the corpses of villagers they had slaughtered to seize the area and convert it into a military base of operations, she pressed on. Once she reached the deserted outskirts and faced Rebel Army resistance, she obliterated the upgraded Mars Battle UFO with the SV-001.

After receiving intel from Intelligence Agency agents about a carrier plane designed by the Amadeus Syndicate and disguised as a Rebel Army aircraft, which was carrying valuable weapon parts, mined resources, and animal specimens and planned to depart at night, she immediately headed to the swampy jungle, crossing over an abandoned, partially destroyed bridge. Along the way, as she fought Rebels and Syndicate mercenaries, she was viciously harassed by Martians, particularly when she hijacked a Jet Hammer-Yang that was being guarded by a lazy Rebel enjoying a can of soda in his boxers, whom she pushed into the water. This Martian harassment deepened her hatred for aliens, viewing them as callous and pesky nuisances. With the Jet Hammer-Yang, she was able to catch up to the M-32 Water Carrier Plane after its sudden departure, following her elimination of a large group of annoying Martians. She found it amusing that they dropped cases of valuable assets to try to stop her, but she assumed they were desperate and that the aircraft didn't have many reliable weapons on board.

Recalling the intel she received before the mission, she headed to a mysterious underground facility that appeared to date back to antediluvian times, recently acquired by the Amadeus Syndicate, where assets transported by the M-32 Water Carrier Plane were to be brought. She infiltrated the facility by traversing a damp, murky cave inhabited by bats trained by Logan to drop bombs on intruders. Along the way, she fought through Syndicate mercenaries and Rebel Infantrymen, eventually breaking down a chained gate with a laser gun given to her by a captured Intelligence Agency agent. With the help of an SV-001 stolen by the Rebels right under the Regular Army's nose, she stormed through the two levels of the facility before confronting Kourai. After a tough and frustrating battle that nearly cost her life, she defeated the mecha. During the mission, she interrogated a scientist who piloted Kourai and had attempted to escape the wreckage. Through this interrogation, she uncovered the location of an ancient relic, which the Pipakhroz had either overlooked due to a minor intelligence error or failed to discover as the enemy had kept it hidden as a closely guarded secret. After sparing the scientist's life, she handed him over to the P.F. Squad and then made her way to the Great Sand Sea, arriving at dawn.

Sensing something was terribly wrong, she felt an atmosphere of oppressive heat, potent decay, and the whispering buzz of locusts. She frantically hurried up the decrepit tower, navigating its nearly labyrinthine interior as the ancient relic unearthed by Rootmars and her allies was in the process of activation. She forcefully pushed her way through intense resistance from Pipovulaj troops, Rebels, and Syndicate mercenaries before reaching the top, where she saw Rootmars and a few Martians analysing the relic, later known as the Alien Floating Structure. As it awakened, it obliterated the stone tower, killing everyone inside, including the Martians accompanying Rootmars, and causing Alisa to fall. This provoked Rootmars' immense fury as some of her creations were among the casualties. Fortunately, Rootmars rescued Alisa, and together they used their firepower to damage and stall the Alien Floating Structure before safely reaching the ground.

Once on the ground, Alisa, aided by Rootmars, Pipovulaj troops, Rebel soldiers, and Syndicate mercenaries, battled the Alien Floating Structure, successfully deactivating it. The relic crumbled into chunks of stony gold, releasing a river of gooey red blood and a delicate downpour of harmless pink embers. As the battle came to an end, Rootmars and her surviving allies fled before the reinforcements from the Regular Army and P.F. Squad arrived, ominously warning Alisa that they would meet again—and it wouldn’t be pretty. She let the enemy go, confident that her allies would eradicate them someday, and took off her cap, enjoying the gentle breeze blowing through her hair.
