Lisa Hamilton

Lisa Hamilton, also known by her ring name La Mariposa, is a luchadora who made her first official appearance in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball and made her fighter debut in Dead or Alive 4. As a former scientist for DOATEC, Lisa has a mysterious, shadowed past that has not fully come to light yet, and has links with many others despite being relatively new to the series. History Early Life Not much is known about Lisa's life before DOATEC, although it is well-known that she was high school friends with fellow wrestler Tina Armstrong and was a member of her school's volleyball team, which explains her great volleyball skills. At some point during her life, Lisa became one of the head scientists for DOATEC at DOATEC Germany, working for Victor Donovan during his genetic projects and becoming an luchadora at the wrestling contest along with Tina. Project Epsilon and the Second Tournament Lisa was known to be in charge of two DOATEC projects - Project Epsilon and the more successful Project Alpha - and was in charge of watching over the projects' test subjects, Hayate and his younger sister Kasumi, as well as Kasumi α, who was a prototype product of Project Alpha. Lisa is a young dark skinned woman with a voluptuous and athletic build, who has short bob brunette hair, dark brown eyes, and full lips. She sometimes has to wear black, square-framed reading glasses, which she mostly wears during her work as a scientist. Her luchadora costumes are very flamboyant and flashy, with added details such as shiny studs and colorful feathers. Her masks are all based around the shape of a butterfly, to match her persona as "The Butterfly." Her original default costume is a white one-piece that shows off her waist and back, with added strips of material that act as a "skirt." The outfit is complete with lace-up boots, leopard-print stockings, various armbands, and a mask with a cap which covers most of her head so only her eyes and the lower half of her face are visible. In Dead or Alive 5, she has a more realistic appearance, with the same short haircut, but lighter skin and smaller, mature-looking eyes. Her costumes are divided between her wrestling persona, "La Mariposa", and her regular self. Her new default Luchadora outfit consists of a red and orange wrestling top showing her stomach, tight pants with red-orange decals, and a frilly flamboyant eye-mask. As Lisa, she wears expensive clothing, with designer pants, sunglasses, and even fur coats, suggesting a higher class of living (her being of higher class was earlier hinted in Xtreme 2 where her hotel room was the Gemstone Suite). She also wears a lot of high-heels, tight skirts, party dresses, and formal attire. In Last Round she received a new hairstyle: a short white cropped haircut that compliments her darker complexion well. In Dead or Alive 6, her luchadora costume is now gold and brown with armor designs and an emerald gem at the center of her lower breast. She has a long pink and yellow feathered accents at the back and a matching gold wrestling boots and black kneepads. Her luchadora mask is a darker shades of gold with pink feathered accents with red several beads and the emerald gem in the center. She also has a charcoal gray elbow pads in each sides. Personality It would seem that Lisa is, at the very least, a nice and very intelligent woman. She appears to be able to connect with most of the women during their island holidays, being able to draw up conversation even with the likes of the taciturn Christie and the normally indifferent Ayane. Lisa also seems to be a bit of a "workaholic," evident by her multiple jobs and the fact that she is almost always seen doing some form of work - her multiple careers and job-changing is a trait she shares with Tina. She is possibly one of, if not the most, intelligent woman in Dead or Alive, as shown by her previous job as a head scientist for DOATEC and her refined speech patterns. Working with DOATEC, the main antagonistic force in Dead or Alive, however, doesn’t mean that Lisa is immoral; in fact, she is quite the opposite, showing friendly and sometimes compassionate behavior: It was she who released Hayate from his capture during Project Epsilon, and it was also her that started the attack by the Mugen Tenshin Clan as a way to stop Alpha-152, the then latest creation by DOATEC. Owing to this, she also does not believe in doing research for the sake of it, and instead believes that one needs to have the right motivation for doing it, as she makes clear to NiCO.
