Alisha is the princess of the Kingdom of Hyland and one of the main protagonists in Tales of Zestiria. However, due to her mother's low social status, she is the farthest from inheriting the throne, and has chosen to become a knight in order to serve her country. When looking for answers to discover why various disasters around the world are occurring, she becomes involved in the collapse of some ruins. It is there where she meets Sorey, who offers to show her the way out. She is voiced by Ai Kayano in the original Japanese version of both the game and the anime/TV series adaptation, and likewise, by Alexis Tipton in the English dub of both versions, both of whom also voiced Inori Yuzuriha.

Overview[]

Alisha is a princess to the Hyland empire. Due to her mother's low status and the decreasing importance of the kingdom's monarchy, she is treated poorly by the royal family, and has dedicated her life to that of a knight in order to serve her country. Although initially unable to see and interact with the Seraphim, she gains the ability to do so after entering a pact with Sorey to become the Shepherd's squire. She wields a long spear in battle. Her true name, given by Sorey when she made her Squire's Pact, is Melphis Amekia, which means "Alisha the Smiling". In her DLC she is given a new name, Isylvia Amekia, meaning "Alisha the Tearful".

Appearance and Personality[]

Alisha wears a white and yellow flower in her blond hair. Her bangs crisscross, and the ends of her hair are curled. She wears black, gold, and silver armor on her arms and legs. Her attire consists of a pink and white tunic and black shorts. She has green eyes. he wears black, gold, and silver armor on her arms and legs. Her attire consists of a pink and white tunic and black shorts. In her DLC, Alisha wears a blue and navy corset with tails, a blue and navy bolero, a white skirt edged with black lace, white boots with gold edges tied with blue ribbons, black thigh-high stockings, and white gloves. Alisha also wears a large white hat with golden rims, accented with blue feathers with yellow tips. Her ponytail is lower down and more on the back of her head. The new look also replaces her current status image and mystic arte cut-in image.

As a knight and princess, Alisha actively tries her hardest to help her country but because all the power seems to lie in the hands of Bartlow and his cohorts she's largely ineffective. However, it's not until later that you find out that the reason why she's ineffective is because Alisha valued being a knight over her duties as a princess and as a direct result of that she actively neglected her own position as princess in order to live out the stories of knights and heroes that she loved. It is not until confrontation with Maltran, where she reveals that she raised Alisha to be this way to make it easy to manipulate her. Maltran forcing Alisha to kill and telling Alisha This Is Reality to forcefully shatters Alisha's idolization of knighthood and makes her set aside her knighthood and her belief in honor and chivalry to focus on being as the Princess of Hyland. It is only by doing this that she becomes effective politically.

Fighting Style[]

Alisha uses a long spear in combat to perform quick attacks, much like her instructor, Lady Maltran; the two also share a mystic arte, Light Blast. Alisha's artes allow her to attack from further away than the others and enable her to rapidly close the distance to her target. Since Alisha is not a full-time party member, her artes do not inflict as much damage as Sorey and the others' abilities, but her fighting style and weapon are proficient at keeping the enemy stunned, oftentimes sending them into the air.
