Lisa-tan is depicted as a former diva turned clinically depressive. She has silver eyes, blonde hair in pigtails, dons a long white gown, long white gloves, a diamond tiara, and still wears them despite not having a decent suitor in several years. She was was charming at first but unintentionally spoiled by her proud company and oldest sister, Apple II-tan. Unfamiliar with menial tasks and computer games, Lisa-tan would rather mingle with the affluent than the petty home user. Lisa-tan's depression began to set in when Macintosh System 1-tan arrived and Lisa-tan's wealth and followers gradually siphoned off to her.

Lisa-tan's depression began to set in when Macintosh System 1-tan arrived and Lisa-tan's wealth and followers gradually siphoned off to her.


Then something happened in 1989 that caused Lisa-tan's repressed feelings of sadness return to consume and traumatize her completely, and she has never spoken or functioned normally ever since. That traumatic event of parallels how in 1989, thousands of unsold Lisa units were trashed and dumped in a landfill, even after being re-marketed for less; a huge betrayal to her that caused her so much sadness and grief, combined with the repressed sadness and grief from over the years was just so overpowering.  
She is now melancholy, rarely talks, and never smiles but expresses herself though poetry. She is still able to perform the menial tasks she despised years ago, and learned to assist [[Apple II| Apple II-tan]] with tasks such as picking apples. She now lives in the Binteeji Renmei, and has became best friends with GEM-tan. The two have helped each other improve through their friendship with Lisa-tan starting to break out of her shell of apathy.

She is also especially fond of [[Windows_1.0 | Windows 1.0-tan]] for being such a kind, unconditionally loving and motherly person. Like the mother figure she did not have for very long.

===Family and relationships===

====Apple I====
Lisa-tan didn't get to know Apple I-tan for very long. Despite being spoiled by her company and older sister, all she wanted above all else was to spend more time with her. Lisa saw Apple I in her last moments, and seeing her die, sparking Lisa's downward spiral. She is the only one who knows the location of Apple I-tan's mausoleum, but that's no consolation to her, and for a long time she didn't share that knowledge because she had something that her more successful relatives didn't.  
 
====Apple II====
 
====Apple III====
Early in life, Apple III-tan and Lisa-tan became antagonistic of each other since they were both to be business computer-tans, and could only see each other as rivals first, sisters last. Lisa-tan saw Apple III-tan's departure in 1984 as a sign that she, Lisa-tan was the business computer-tan of the Apple Family.
 
She now feels remorse for thinking like that, but partly because of their past rivalry, Apple III-tan is reluctant to visit her at the Binteeji Renmei.
 
====The Mac-tans====
 
 
====Visi On====
Lisa-tan and Visi On-tan first met in 1982, and they became good friends right away, both sharing common ideals; a love for fashion, and both wanting to make their mark in the emerging GUI field. Their friendship was too good to last, as Visi On-tan all but disappeared off the face of the earth in 1984. Unfortunately, if they were to meet again, they might run into conflict; Windows 1.0-tan is one of Lisa's closest friends, but 1.0-tan also led to Visi On-tan's demise. It's uncertain if they can put that major difference aside. Visi On has never visited, because she's afraid to risk that conflict happening, and would rather have her continue to remember the good times they had together.

Line 43: Line 56:
Apple I-tan's death was the first thing that soured her outlook on life. Making matters worse to her was that shortly after her death, Mac System 1-tan was born. Lisa-tan scorned her as a convenient scapegoat, and also out of a deep-seated fear of being replaced and dying alone if System 1-tan were to be successful. She took her frustrations out on her by forcing System 1-tan to be the family servant.

Lisa-tan scorned her as a convenient scapegoat, and also out of a deep-seated fear of being replaced and dying alone if System 1-tan were to be successful. She took her frustrations out on her by forcing System 1-tan to be the family servant.


Lisa-tan was upset that System 1-tan successfully got her public debut and created her own lineage; Lisa-tan felt her influence decline further, and felt more helpless. With the Macs somewhat independent, Apple III having ran away from home, Apple II too busy for long stretches of time, Lisa-tan's helplessness, grief and fear of abandonment worsened. In 1989, these emotions finally consumed her, and she's never been the same since then.

In 1993, she left with Apple II and GS/OS to Apple II's orchards that would later become the founding site of the Binteeji Renmei. It has only been in recent years that she has been gradually recovering.

==Theories and notes==
*The traumatic event of parallels how in 1989, thousands of unsold Lisa units were trashed and dumped in a landfill, even after being re-marketed for less; both of these are symbolic of betrayal to her, after being promised many wonderful things about how she'd become the most influential OS-tan. This betrayal, combined with the repressed sadness and grief from over the years just overpowered her.
