Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou (アリサ・ミハイロヴナ・
Appearance[]
Alisa presents an ethereal and captivating physical appearance, distinctly contrasting with her older sister Maria’s grounded beauty. Alisa’s allure is defined by her milky-white complexion, so pale that it appears almost translucent, a trait that diverges sharply from the typical Japanese skin tone. Her almond-shaped eyes, reminiscent of glittering sapphires, enhance her striking presence. Alisa’s long, silver hair, styled into a half ponytail that catches the morning sun, further accentuates her distinctive features. Alisa’s facial features, a harmonious blend of her Russian father’s sharpness and her Japanese mother’s softness, contribute to her unique beauty. Her figure is marked by her height, which is considerable for a girl, and her elongated limbs. Her hourglass silhouette, with its refined proportions, epitomises a physique that is both aspirational and admired globally. This combination of rare features and graceful stature renders Alisa’s appearance as both dreamlike and universally enviable.
Alisa revealed that she once had blonde hair in her younger years, but over time, it gradually lost its color, evolving into the distinctive silver hue that has become her trademark.[5]
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 good conduct and doesn't particularly care about others, for better or worse. However, it is already a well-known fact in 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 school regulations, but still, she's very 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 would attract people’s attention.
She seems to be quite the possessive type and gets jealous easily, although it only shows when Masachika interacts with other girls. To best describe her, she's a tsundere who often teases Masachika. But in fact Alisa is hopelessly in love with Masachika, though most of the time she is unaware of her intense feelings towards him, and any attempts to acknowledge this are met with self-denial until much later.
Background[]
She comes from a well-off family. Through this privilege and a nurturing environment, she excelled and developed many talents. However, despite being handed these things in life, she is determined not to let that define her but rather to be defined by always striving for the top no matter what, by always putting in more effort than others.
As she grew up, she started acquiring social skills, but her fundamental ideals and opinions remained unchanged. However, her cold and rigid personality developed during her time in Vladivostok, where 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 to avoid any conflict with those around her, making her feel distant and reserved to others. She has the talent and a 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. On her parents’ recommendation, she transferred to Seirei Educational Institute, a prestigious school 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 to 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 doesn't know the test trends; even with this disadvantage, she achieved first place in her school year. This instantly made Alisa popular among the students, who started flocking to her as if she were a celebrity. Alisa's immense beauty also contributed to her popularity. Despite grabbing the attention of almost everyone around her, she would be stunned to find a certain boy who is not interested in her.
Relationships[]
Masachika Kuze[]
The only student to show no interest in Alisa, which left a lasting impression on her. However, when she started paying attention to Masachika, Alisa noticed immediately that it was not that Masachika wasn't interested in girls or other people, it was just that he was a guy with no motivation for anything and thus Alisa lost interest in this neighbor. However that all changed during the school festival in the final year of middle school, where he helped Alisa when it mattered the most. Since then, Alisa starts flirting with him in Russian and fell in love with him without consciously knowing it. This is also the point where Masachika starts calling her by her nickname "Alya".
During the first year of high school, after Masachika turned down Yuki's request to run as her partner again for the high school student council, he would volunteer to be Alisa's partner after witnessing her struggles but also her drive to move forward despite the fact that she never asked him in the first place. Since becoming running mates, the two have gotten closer due to more interaction between them. On occasions, Alisa had inadvertently made her feelings known without her realizing it. As a result, Masachika is aware of her feelings towards him.
During the sports festival in October, Alisa would finally admit to herself that she was in love with Masachika. The realization bought her joy and she even confessed her feelings to him in Russian at one point. Yet at the same time, she felt insecure because she believed that Masachika was in love with Yuki but that would change on her 16th birthday when he confessed that Yuki is in fact his sister. As such, she was able to get Masachika back with the Suou family.
Yuki Suou[]
Alisa's relationship with Yuki is one where the latter often teases the former. This can be observed when the two went to perform paperwork for the student council and ended up having a short confrontation in an empty classroom. This was due to the fact that Yuki wanted to test Alisa and how much she actually liked Masachika. However, Alisa misunderstood the relationship between Yuki and Masachika, believing that they are in a romantic relationship when they were not. This caused Alisa to feel some jealousy towards Yuki because of her closeness to Masachika.
There is also the other side of their relationship as they are both competing to become the next student council president. While Yuki has mostly refrained from making any direct moves against Alisa due to Masachika being her partner and is wise to her tactics. However Yuki had taken advantage of Masachika's illness by having Alisa appear at her school radio broadcast unprepared.
Despite the rivalry due to the election, the two have become genuine friends. While at at Kenzaki vacation home during the summer, Alisa and Yuki were roommates and the two had a talk about boys. However when Alisa started talking her frustrations about boys, Yuki quickly deduced that she was talking about her brother. Since then Yuki has made conscious efforts to set up opportunities for him to get closer with Alisa.
Maria Mikhailovna Kujou[]
Maria is the older sister of Alisa and keeps teasing her when the opportunity arises. Maria wants Alisa to call her 'Onee-san'.
Etymology[]
- Alisa's surname Kujou means "nine" (九) (ku) and "article" (条) (jou).
Trivia[]
- Despite her return to Japan after a five-year absence and her unfamiliarity with the test format, Alisa, notwithstanding these considerable disadvantages, achieved the highest rank in her class.
- Alisa refrains from addressing Maria as "big sister" (お姉ちゃん Onee-chan? ), a term more common in Japanese culture, due to her Russian upbringing, where siblings are typically referred to by their given names. Despite Maria's persistent requests, Alisa prefers to use a nickname, as calling her "big sister" would imply a sense of dependency that Alisa is reluctant to convey.[6]
- Alisa was born on November 7th, the date of the October Revolution.[1]
- It is exceptionally rare for hair to transition from blonde to silver at a young age, as the loss of pigment typically occurs with ageing or due to achromotrichia.
- Her estimated cup size was conjectured to be 'E'. While not definitively confirmed, she has stated in Russian that this estimate is barely correct, meaning it is barely E which can either mean she's either a D Cup or an F Cup.[7]
- Alisa has a pronounced affinity for sweets, with a particular penchant for chocolate.[8]
- According to Masachika, Alisa exhibits a notable aversion to germs, especially in situations where she might come into physical contact with other males.[9]
