Personality

What personality? Robots don't have feelings.



Alright, I'll talk. See, Alisa isn't like most artificial intelligence. In her journal entries and her Scenario Campaign, it is implied that some part of her internal programming enables her to feel human emotion. Happiness, sorrow, anger and surprise - she can feel it all, and it is difficult to tell her apart from other people in this way. But while she is aware of her robotic functions, she does not make any effort to distinguish herself from humans and is able to tell others that she is human with a straight face. She dislikes people pointing out that she is a robot. In one instance, she even chides Lars for even speaking to her impersonally. She is most happy when people treat her like a human, like how Lars and Xiaoyu do during their time with her.

Dr. Bosconovitch created her in the image of his late daughter, so it is no surprise that Alisa holds family in high regard and considers filial ties in general to be very important. She stops Lars from shooting his own father, Heihachi, at one point because she thinks that it is wrong for a child to do so. She seems to think fondly of her father.

Innocence is one of the main traits that set her apart from the more sophisticated characters around her. Like a child, she is always asking questions about what things are and how things work, from purikura to family ties. An example: unaware of what fathers are supposed to be, she tells Xiaoyu that is afraid that her own father might be like the Mishimas who are known for fighting their own kin. She may be artificial intelligence, but she still has much to learn about the world.

Because of her large database, Alisa comes off as intelligent and well-mannered. She speaks politely, has a wide vocabulary and does not use contractions in her speech. Despite the range of resources available to her, however, she tends to be by-the-book in her way of thinking. For example, in Blood Vengeance, she tries to be more human by "following the rules". Her thought process is very rational and seldom is she able to connect the dots or read in between the lines when it comes to abstract ideas. In short, she's book-smart, but slow on the uptake.

This is not to say she is stiff and awkward! Alisa knows how to tease and she can be cheeky when she wants to be. Before she and Xiaoyu break into Mishima Polytechnic, she cracks a joke about how they might find out about Xiaoyu's embarrassing past at the school. She is an amiable character who is quick to apologize and can get along with just about anybody. Let's be real - how many robots can befriend a panda in less than a day? Alisa would rather get along with people than enemies. She often insists on negotiating and correcting misunderstandings until Lars tells her it's no use in her Scenario Campaign.

On that note, Alisa's catchphrases before a battle, such as "Must we really fight?" and "Please get out of my way!" tell us that she is a pacifist and would rather avoid fighting if she can. This is not because she is a coward; she is aware of her own strength. On the contrary, she has a very strong will that pushes forward even when the chances of her success are close to none. That said, her unwillingness to fight does not mean that she won't though a punch, because she will when people won't listen. One shouldn't let down their guard around her. Due to her programming, she will not hesitate to resort to lying and killing as long as she fulfills her missions. Even when she doesn't want to. In the end, she can't help it. It's in her program. In spite of these shortcomings, she means no harm. Alisa is, at the core, a kind-hearted individual.

SAMPLE #1

It appears that I have been given a new directive, but what is of greater concern at the moment is my current location. I am unable to pinpoint my location via satellite nor can I detect any bioreadings in the area. Hardware has not sustained damage but several functions have become inaccessible since arrival.

[ This girl grows more and more worried as she rambles on - ah, but she doesn't mean to do that. ]

Can anyone tell me where Asgard is? I am aware of the location of Norse myth, but I am afraid it is unreachable from Violet Systems. Wherever I am, it looks lovely. Is this what they mean by painting the town? I am very excited. I have never tried holding a paintbrush before. I will do my best!

... After I have determined the anomalies in my system.

SAMPLE #2

SAMPLE #3

Why does Baldr not listen to his father? Is it because he is an "impudent brat" like the people say? I hope he does not stop. Maybe next time we will get to see Odin give him a time out! [ She covers her mouth with both hands and laughs. ] But sons should respect their fathers. Those are the rules.

I have been programmed to look for my father. Is anyone else the same?

Is it... natural?
