Appearance
Alisa is a young woman of Russian origin, standing at an average stature. Her naturally blonde hair is dyed bright red, usually in a messy high ponytail tied with a blue ribbon. In more formal situations she keeps her hair down or ties the ponytail lower, but keeps the blue bow. Her eyes are light blue matching her old hair color, and she is around 5'6" with an average build. She normally appears stoic, rarely showing any drastic changes in emotion. It's also noticeable that she's a foreigner, more specifically Russian.
Though her legs are probably pretty nice, they are somewhat paler than the rest of her body due to having been missing for so long. She frequently stumbles and trips, as if she isn't used to used them. The cause of this is the time she spent as a human without le gs, but after 8 years of being a cripple she regained them through the Quinx surgery.
Alisa wears a red Quinx uniform with short cloak over top of it, a black dress shirt underneath with dark grey vest underneath, and a red tie. After her first frame removal she wears thick round glasses to make her vision worse, negating the headaches caused by her extreme eyesight. (Note that whether or not this actually works is anyone's guess, but Alisa thinks it does.)
Personality
Alisa is a very stoic young woman.
She frequently hides her real feelings on most things. She acts sadistic in her opinions on ghouls, frequently pulls pranks on other Investigators, and most importantly she keeps her behavior constantly stoic. She has no issues changing her demeanor to suit the person she's talking to, and tends to only ever actually open up around either her brother or the other Quinx.
Despite all of this Alisa is still a very reserved young girl, even seeming a bit childish at times to people closer to her. She frequently struggles with feeling depressed over the way other (non-Quinx) Investigators see her, and contrary to her public behaviors of sadism towards ghouls she doesn't harbor any explicit enjoyment towards the suffering of her opponents. She feels no particular like or dislike towards them, instead simply describing them as the other side of a war. No particular disdain or admiration for them, only her orders decide how she handles them. Even so, she does seem to enjoy the feeling of fighting and violence in general.
Despite being a generally very reliable subordinate (if a little too dumb and naive for her good, contrary to her own views on herself) she feels a fascination for Ghouls. As visible by her odd friendship with Yuki she believes to truly reach the peak of being a Quinx that she needs to fully understand what it means to be and live as both a ghoul and a human.
Despite not wanting to let anyone else know, Alisa feels a great deal of anxiety and depression over her illegitimacy, hoping for her father (Rokuro Shirogane) to one day acknowledge her. Even so, completely believes that this is hopeless.
History
Originally born in Murmansk, Russian, Alisa had a relatively normal childhood. She grew up very poor and frequently acted like a delinquent in school, occasionally stealing and sometimes getting into fights. Alisa never knew her father, and was born after her mother had already moved far away from him.
Alisa's legs were both lost at the age of 10 in a ghoul related incident, resulting in her isolation from most kids her age, and struggling with her crippling disability for most of her childhood and teenage years.
At the age of 16 she moved to Japan in hopes of finding work in the CCG with a desk job, but ended up signing up for the Quinx surgery. To her surprise she was a perfect fit for the role, likely at least somewhat to test the regeneration capabilities of the Quinx, and she regained her legs shortly after the successful surgery.
Eventually Alisa revealed that she was the illegitimate daughter of Rokuro Shirogane, and discovered that she was sister to Kenji Hamada.
Powers and Abilities
- Strengths: Although it's odd considering she didn't have feet for a while, she's surprisingly fast and has abnormal reaction times for a human, causing her to prefer dodging over blocking attacks.
- Weaknesses:Her physical strength and endurance are low.
- Alisa's first frame has been released, however the results of this are unknown until she wakes up.
Quinque
Yasue
Rating: B
Type: Ukaku
Status: Active
Appearance: A long grey bow, with a guard covering the hand.
Strengths: The bow's ukaku shards are reasonably long (about a foot or two in length) and as a ranged weapon they provide a good advantage if the user can get decently far away.
Weaknesses: The shards can't pierce most kagune, and require a hit to the flesh to do any actual damage. The time to draw the arrow is an issue, as it takes about 5 seconds to load each one. The bow is useless at close range.
Mechanics: Unlike an actual bow, the quinque does not have any arrows. Instead when the string is drawn it begins generating a thin ukaku shard of about 2 feet of length.
Shizugatake
Rating: B+
Type: Ukaku
Status: Active
Appearance: Shizugatake takes the form of a long spear, black with a white blade. Near the beginning of the blade are two sharp wings, identical to the wings of the ghoul it came from. The blade is reflective, and extremely white. The tip is made of a sharp but not very durable ukaku shard, while the rest is strong enough to withstand hits.
Strengths: The spears length provides it an advantage over shorter kagune and quinque, as expected from a spear. Additionally it's mechanic can be a major wound if it successfully hits someone. Other than the mechanic it's just a spear, and has the strengths you'd expect from one.
Weaknesses: Like any spear, it has difficulties in cramped spaces, or if someone manages to get too close for the blade to hit. After the mechanic is used it becomes an entirely blunt weapon, relying on being used as a staff for the duration of the blade's regeneration.
Mechanics: The front blade is actually a ukaku shard, and can be shot off once every few minutes, after which a new blade will slowly be regenerated. The side blades remain, however they are mainly decorative and won't be of much use.

Relationships
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Kyousuke Aoyama | Kyousuke was the first of her comrades that Alisa met, and seems to get along well with him. She shows a great deal of respect towards him despite continueing to pull pranks, and believes him the only of her superiors that deserves any recognition from her. Alisa puts a great deal of trust into him even compared to her other comrades. |
| Yukiteru Urushiyama | How many people can say; "This is my friend, we met shortly before I slaughtered his girlfriend like an animal. Good times."? Not very many, but Alisa is one of them. Despite having murdered Kami and seeming to despise Aogiri, the two share quite a few similarities which cause them to get along. Whether it's out of friendship or just out of loneliness neither really knows, but they haven't betrayed the other yet. Whether or not this'll be the case forever is unknown. |
| Shouta | Alisa met Shouta shortly after meeting Kyousuke and seems to get along well with him, and despite her demeanor hiding it she enjoys talking to him. She thinks that he's funny, and enjoys the banter between them. Shouta rarely refers to Alisa by her real name, something she always responds to with "It's not ___, it's Alisa." |
| Hisae Otsuji | Unlike the other new Quinx, Alisa seems to have taken an immediate liking to Hisae. Their first meeting gave Alisa good first impression, and she sometimes worries for the girl. They still don't know each other too well though, and Alisa's anxiety doesn't give her many ideas on how to change this. |
| Tatsuo Yamazaki | Tatsuo is the Quinx Alisa knows the least about, and her interactions with him have all been brief to say the very least. She doens't have any particular feelings towards him one way or the other. |
| Momo Shimizu | Out of all the Quinx, Momo is the only one Alisa doesn't like. It's not really any explicit hatred or grudge, but she barely knows Momo and their only interactions have given her a negative impression. |
| Chiyo Aikawa | Alisa only met Chiyo a couple times but seemed to get along well with her fellow stoic Investigator, showing a strong appreciation for her attitude. She has not met Chiyo since her injury, or since her own imprisonment by Aogiri. |
| Kenji Hamada | Kenji and Alisa originally met when they were partnered to investigate Abdullah Yousef, and seem to get along decently. Alisa refers to him as 'Ken Ken'. After discovering that he was a Shirogane they realized they were half siblings, with the same father. She feels very close to him despite not having known him for very long, and considers him one of the few people she can relate to, given their shared distaste for the behavior of the Shirogane. |
| Kichirou Kurosawa | The two half ghouls originally met when Alisa was captured, their capture being only the start of the parallels between the two. Despite having similarities in their capture and their species, the way Alisa reacted to her capture was the exact opposite in every way to Kichirou's reaction. They have yet to meet again since her escape. |
