[edit] History
[edit] Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball
- Main article: Lisa
Hired by Zack as Zack Island's public representative, Lisa personally greeted each of the island’s guests and gave the initial tour of the island’s facilities.
[edit] Dead or Alive 4
Lisa entered the fourth DOA tournament as the masked wrestler named ‘La Mariposa’. Her aim was to engage Tina Armstrong, her childhood friend, in a wrestling duel. In disguise, she encountered the likes of Hayate, who was in the process of attacking DOATEC, and Helena, to whom she admits her involvement in the Mugen Tenshin attack. Defeated by Helena she was, however, eventually able to fight Tina and teamed up with her against another wrestling team.

[edit] Gameplay
[edit] DOA
La Mariposa can be considered a mixture between Tina Armstrong and Zack due to her powerful throws and quickly executed kicks. Her kicks are very effective, being especially adept at low- and mid-position tracking, and her counters nearly match those of Bayman in power percentage. Additionally, La Mariposa is unpredictable, making her difficult to counter and defend against. However, this unpredictability also makes her a very difficult character to learn and master, and thus is very unsuited for beginning players.
Her standard tag-team partner is Tina. Since they are both pro-wrestlers, they both perform powerful dual-throws.

[edit] Trivia
- La Mariposa means "the butterfly" in Spanish. This would explain the fact that her costumes revolve around her mask as a butterfly (except her cat-like costume, which does have a butterfly mask, but only if the player presses a specific button when selecting the costume, it's default is unmasked).
- Her Lucha Libre moves are based on pro wrestler Nobuyoshi Nakamura.
