She is an android created by Doctor Bosconovitch who is a clone of his deceased daughter. Alisa was suddenly awakened from cryosleep by Lars Alexandersson. They were attacked by Jack-6 robots, but the girl quickly sawed them down with her chainsaw arms.
While fighting, it is later revealed that she was built and programmed to protect Jin Kazama. After Jin orders her to attack Lars, but was defeated. Some time later, she was later taken to a hospital by Lars. She was then fixed up better than ever, and then a wrote a journal entry saying the forecast is sunny and today is going to be a good day.

Appearance
Alisa's primary outfit consists of a light and dark purple ombre dress slantedly split down the front that ends in a back skirt, a white belt decorated with chains and three blue roses on the side, uneven black thigh high stockings with one of which that has a garter that connects to her black short shorts, and white boots with black cuffs. Her breasts are covered in a criss-crossed, halter-like manner, with the strings securely attaching to her white collar which has a blue rose on the left side, white gloves covering her hands and uneven, detached, purple sleeves. She also has three flowers embedded into the right side of her hair. Her second outfit consists of red shoes, white socks, a red sarafan (with two stripes, one gold and one white), and white bracelets around her gloves' cuffs.
Personality
Unlike most robots, Alisa possesses emotions and acts more like a human than a robot. She is a very kind-hearted individual. She speaks in a polite manner and is sensitive to others' feelings. Alisa can also appear rather childish and resembles Ling Xiaoyu's characteristics. In Tekken: Blood Vengeance, it is shown that she is also very capable of deception, as well as being quick to make friends with anyone, even Panda. And in the CGI movie, Alisa cheers Xiaoyu up telling her that she can stop the fighting between the father and sons of the Mishima house, as well as insisting that she owed Xiaoyu her life as she saved her once. She does not like to fight or hurt anyone, but when push comes to shove, she is a formidable fighter.
As a robot, she is very intelligent and often speaking in technical terms. In some situations, when people call Alisa a robot, she denies that fact and insists that she is a human being, though it was never known if she insists as such in Blood Vengeance as only a handful amount of people knew her to be a robot. When she was commanded by Jin, she does not recognize Lars, she performs his commands at full efficiency. In Blood Vengeance, while she still recognizes Xiaoyu when she was ordered to take Xiaoyu out, she puts her mission as her top priority. So much so, that she does not hesitate in her attempt to kill Xiaoyu. It is shown both in the game as well as the CGI movie that Jin has full control of her, obeying his every command without any resistance.
Biography
Tekken 6
Alisa is an android created by Doctor Bosconovitch in the Bosconovitch Laboratory, a Mishima Zaibatsu facility that served as a hub for the organization’s military equipment development. Alisa was created in the image of Doctor Bosconovitch's deceased daughter. Ten years prior to the first King of Iron Fist Tournament, Doctor Bosconovitch became absorbed in his work and did not notice how ill his daughter was. After being away from home for several days at work, Bosconovitch returned home to discover that his daughter had died. Consumed by grief, he isolated himself deep in Siberia and began attempting to make an immortal android replica of his daughter. He developed cold sleep technology to preserve the body of his daughter, and succeeded in creating a flexible metal alloy that was similar to human skin - however, before he could complete his work, he was captured by the KGB and forced to create robotic weapons for the Soviet (later Russian) military.
Doctor Bosconovitch was later kidnapped by Kazuya Mishima and made head of the Mishima Zaibatsu's research and development division, where he worked on perpetual engine technology and cold sleep machines. He used the latter technology to preserve the body of his deceased daughter. Doctor Bosconovitch was later liberated from the Mishima Zaibatsu by Yoshimitsu, who funded Bosconovitch’s continued development of the cold sleep technology.
At some point after the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament, Doctor Bosconovitch began working for the Mishima Zaibatsu (now under the control of Jin Kazama) again. In this time, he was able to complete the android replica of his daughter that he had begun developing years before. Alisa was created to be a bodyguard for Jin; she was programmed with advanced combat abilities and equipped with built-in weaponry to make her suitable for this task.
During the war between the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation, Lars Alexandersson raided the Bosconovitch Laboratory with a squad of his rebel army. During the raid, he discovered Alisa 'asleep' in a pod. G Corporation also infiltrated the lab at this time and attacked Lars's squad, killing everyone but Lars and leaving Lars with a head injury that resulted in amnesia. As he rose from the ground after the attack, Lars activated Alisa's pod, awakening her. The two took out the remaining G Corp enemies and then escaped the collapsing lab together. Alisa was reluctant to leave, as her 'father had told her to stay there'.
Alisa was able to scan the Mishima Zaibatsu's database and informed the amnesiac Lars that, though he was dressed in standard issue Tekken Force armor, all trace of him had been wiped from the Zaibatsu's records. She also discovered that an order had gone out to eliminate Lars on sight.
The two began traveling with the intention of learning more about Lars' identity. During their travels, they met Tougou, Lars' lieutenant in the rebel army. Lars did not remember Tougou, but he was able to give he and Alisa the name 'Heihachi Mishima' as a lead. They went on to meet Heihachi on one of his properties. During a confrontation between Lars and Heihachi, Lars's memory returned to him, and he recalled that Heihachi was his father. Lars turned a gun on Heihachi, but Alisa placed herself between the two of them, telling Lars it wasn’t right to point a weapon at his father. The two left the property without any fatal violence taking place.
Alisa and Lars later met Lee Chaolan, an estranged member of the Mishima family. While they were speaking with Lee, he received a distress call from Julia Chang, and asked Alisa and Lars to rescue her as a favor to him. The two succeeded in rescuing Julia.
With his memory restored, Lars returned to the rebel army as its leader, and Alisa went with him. They enacted Operation Gemini - a dual strike on a Mishima Zaibatsu base, and a G Corporation base. Following the operation's success, they progressed to attacking G Corporation's main headquarters, Millennium Tower. At the main entrance to the building, Alisa and Lars were confronted by Anna Williams and a squad of G Corporation soldiers. Tougou and his men arrived to provide back-up. With the G Corporation soldiers engaged by the rebel army, Alisa and Lars were able to pursue and defeat Anna. Kazuya Mishima, G Corporation’s shadow leader, emerged too, but Alisa and Lars failed to apprehend him.
Alisa and Lars left the tower to discover that several members of Lars' rebel army had been killed, and that Tougou was mortally wounded, dying shortly after Alisa and Lars reached him. Unbeknownst to Alisa and Lars, they were being watched covertly by Raven. Alisa and Lars went on to hijack a Zaibatsu subway train to get to the Mishima Zaibatsu's Central Tower. Upon reaching the tower, the two of them were confronted by the robotic weapon NANCY-MI847J. Raven suddenly appeared and held NANCY-MI847J off, telling Alisa and Lars to go ahead and confront Jin.
Nina Williams, Jin Kazama's bodyguard, attempted to thwart Alisa and Lars's infiltration, but was defeated by them. Jin emerged, and he and Lars fought, though neither one was able to defeat the other. Jin went to leave, but not before instructing Alisa to 'disable Safe Mode and then reboot'. Alisa did so and became hostile towards Lars, apparently having lost her memories of their time together. Jin revealed that Alisa was built to serve him and that he had been using her to monitor Lars's actions for the entirety of their time together. Jin gave the order for Alisa to kill Lars, and left the tower while Lars was forced to fight her. Alisa was unable to defeat Lars, and she fled the tower to regroup with Jin.
Alisa accompanied Jin to a temple in the desert, where Jin once again pitted her against Lars. Lars was able to defeat her this time. As her system began to shutdown, Alisa's memories of her time with Lars returned. She thanked him for treating her like a person before shutting down.
Following his confrontation with Jin, Lars took Alisa to a Violet Systems facility owned by Lee. Lee said he would restore Alisa to working function in return for she and Lars doing him the favor of rescuing Julia.
Tekken 7
Lee was able to bring Alisa back to full functionality. She was initially hostile towards him as her memory had not been fully restored, but her memories slowly returned to her after a system restart.
The Violet Systems facility was attacked by Mishima Zaibatsu forces. After fighting off a Tekken Force squad, the two left for a different Violet Systems facility where she was reunited with Lars. The joy of their reunion was cut short by another attack by Tekken Force. Alisa, Lars and Lee were able to make a successful escape and relocated to another base.
Alisa became troubled when thoughts of Lars started interrupting her thought processes and causing her temperature to rise. Believing these to be symptoms of an error in her system, she asked Doctor Bosconovitch to fix her. An update was applied, but no malfunction was found. Additionally, the programming that had allowed Jin to control her previously had been removed, giving her total freedom over herself. She chose to remain in the rebel army to fight at Lars's side.
Tekken 8
Following the failure of Yggdrasil's Operation Lightning (a strike intended to eliminate Kazuya Mishima), Alisa rescued Jin from beneath rubble on the battleground. A few days later, she saw Jin falter whilst training and went to assist him. She sat with Jin and told him that he was the hope of mankind. She was troubled by Jin's willingness to kill Kazuya at the cost of his own life.
Alisa attended the eighth King of Iron Fist Tournament's Asia Preliminary to monitor Jin and provide intel to Yggdrasil. Later, she accompanied Yggdrasil to the next round of the tournament to help take out Kazuya. When Kazuya assumed his True Devil form, Alisa assisted in stalling him to allow Jin time to escape. Alisa survived this encounter, and travelled to Yakushima with Yggdrasil to fight against G Corporation's forces. During the battle, Alisa scanned the island to locate Jin; she passed his location to Lars so that he was able to go and assist him. Alisa encountered Jack-8 on the battlefield and fought against the android. Jack-8 proved formidable, and Alisa was almost defeated before Asuka Kazama and Emilie De Rochefort intervened and finished Jack-8 off. Alisa detected the arrival of Devil Kazuya on Yakushima, but survived his subsequent attacks.
In the good ending, Alisa is shown standing next to Lee among a line of Yggdrasil soldiers as Lars walks between them, saluting.
