Lisa is the official librarian of the Knights of Favonius and despite having more than enough power to be on the frontlines, she chooses a life where she can enjoy her time peacefully. She is the most distinguished graduate from Sumeru academia in the last 200 years. Sumeru Academia has the smartest people and people are driven mad because of the research requirements.
Lisa is a free starter character that is given out to the players at the beginning of the game. She is the one who first explains the concept of vision to the curious traveler. Lisa is well respected by all of her fellow knights despite her general laziness. This says a lot about how efficient Lisa actually is.

Personality
The most distinguished graduate of the last two centuries of the Sumeru Academia, Lisa, leads her life as a simple librarian in Mondstat. After seeing what excessive education can do to a person, she was disgusted and moved back to Mondstat. Mona, in her voice lines about Lisa analyses Lisa’s constellation. The hourglass Tempus Fugit is the representation of how Lisa traded her life in exchange for knowledge, till the sand reached bottom. Once it did, it remains motionless; or in Lisa’s case, lazy.
Lisa loves her morning sleep and afternoon tea. Apart from that she is very diligent about people returning the library books. Despite being lazy, Lisa still somehow manages to complete all her talks in an orderly fashion. She even had a special heating cauldron made for her so that she could keep her tea hot while she did what she wanted. She enjoys her tea at a leisurely pace at the optimum heat.
Appearance
Lisa has an “Adult Female” body type and is 5'5" / 166 cm. She wears a purple witch’s hat with a lightning rose attached at the end of it along with a purple rose on the front. She has blonde hair and green eyes with a butterfly shaped earring on one ear. She wears a caplet from her neck and her vision is attached to the cape using two golden strings and hangs on her chest. She wears a white dress under a purple corset with the knights of favonius symbol on it. The corset has slits on both sides exposing her thighs and on top of it, she wears a black belt with a golden rose on it. She wears black thigh high stockings with black high heel shoes. She also wears anklets on both legs with a purple crystal hanging from it. She wears black gloves with the same kind of crystals on both of them.
Character Stories
Character Details
The librarian of the Knights of Favonius and in addition to her elegance and charm, Lisa is also highly educated.
She is said to have been the most talented sorceress to study at the Sumeru Academia in the last two centuries.
It is known that Lisa chose to return to Mondstadt after two years of advanced study in Sumeru, but the reason for her decision is not.
Story 1
Lisa is tasked with managing and maintaining the vast collection of books in the Knights of Favonius library, as well as ensuring that their potions are always fully stocked.
The only time that the citizens of Mondstadt see Lisa is when lending or returning library books.
In both scenarios, they tend to encounter Lisa sitting at the counter like a languid cat, yawning as she signs books in and out.
At times, her behavior causes people to doubt whether she is really up to the task of being the librarian for the illustrious Knights of Favonius.
Nevertheless, it appears that she performs every task flawlessly, as her work consistently stands up to scrutiny.
Story 2
The fact that Cyrus of the Sumeru Academia frequently refers to Lisa as their "best student in two hundred years" is all that needs to be said about Lisa's accomplishments in her studies.
From outlandish forbidden knowledge, to the handling of elementally infused flora, to the most efficient methods of distilling wine... where there is a body of knowledge, the chances are that Lisa is acquainted with it.
This, paired with her ability to explain things clearly and concisely, makes Lisa the sensible person for young knights and alchemists to approach with burning questions.
That is, provided they go and see her at an acceptable hour.
To visit during unacceptable hours — such as in the morning while Lisa is sleeping in, or in the afternoon while she's enjoying her tea - can spell disaster for unsuspecting visitors.
Story 3
When people meet Lisa for the first time, they often find themselves overawed by the famous alumnus of Sumeru Academia.
However, though her attitude to life may appear at first to be one of ruthless efficiency, it is in fact better understood as a product of her incorrigibly lazy nature, which drives her to avoid troublesome issues at all costs.
By negotiating with Kaeya, she offloaded the job of restocking and dispensing medication to Huffman and Swan, and had Flora start sending Donna over to deliver herbs on a daily basis.
The only tasks Lisa handles personally are the categorization and management of books and other documents.
This is the one area where Lisa feels more comfortable handling the work herself rather than delegating it.
Story 4
When Lisa first joined the Knights of Favonius, the Grand Master sought to appoint her as Captain of the 8th Company.
This was of much consternation for the company's Field Officer, Nymph, who resented the idea of an academic coming in at such a high-ranking position.
At Kaeya's suggestion, a practice combat session was arranged in which Lisa and Nymph would both display their magical proficiency.
Two minutes into the session, Lisa graciously declined the captaincy on the grounds "Nymph manifestly possesses the requisite ability to fulfill the role."
For the whole year following, the Grand Master received a constant stream of referral letters from Nymph in relation to the captaincy and the only person ever in them was Lisa Minci.
Eventually, the GrandMaster began turning over the referral letters to Lisa directly but every time she would come up with an excuse to decline the offer.
Undoubtedly, the 8th Company would have been far stronger under her lead, but she deemed that such a level of power was not only superfluous to requirements, it would also be risky for her in a way that most people could never appreciate.
To be clear, Lisa is quite confident that she could handle any situation she came up against. However, additional danger means an additional workload — and that is something that she would never be able to accept.
Story 5
Having personally witnessed raving-mad scholars in the forests of Sumeru and powerful sages sitting underutilized advisory councils, Lisa realized what uninhibited erudition can really do to a person.
It seemed such a high price to pay... How much did one have to sacrifice to attain the profoundest knowledge at all?
Put off by this realization, Lisa decided to leave Sumeru.
Since then, Lisa has always stopped short of taking things too seriously.
"Before demanding too many miracles from the gods, first consider if you are willing to pay the price they ask."
These words she has spoken to just three people since arriving in Mondstadt. In each case, it was because she knew it was what they needed to hear.
Special Heating Cauldron
The Special Heating Cauldron is a purpose-built cauldron made to a design that no one in Mondstadt could understand. It features time-delay heating, semi-automated ingredient insertion, and temperature regulation functions.
Lisa spent an enormous budget and commandeered the alchemy workshop for two full weeks in order to build this extraordinary piece of equipment.
She boasts that the cauldron is capable of completing any precision heating task to perfection with a maximum of just two pulls of a lever.
But her most common application for it is to brew tea and keep it at the optimal temperature while she is managing her books.
After all, a relaxing afternoon tea session is by far the most important part of Lisa's day.
Vision
A Vision is a sign from the gods: a sign that you are one of those whom they have chosen to change the world.
Or, maybe it's just one of the many hoops that one has to jump through on the path to unearthing the secrets of magecraft.
After all, understanding the elements is essential to the study of magic, and practical experience is a far more useful means of acquiring this understanding than trying to assimilate the knowledge contained in dusty old books.
"Hmm... I suppose I shall need a Vision, then."
And just like that, as that thought popped into her mind, her Vision popped into her hand.
With the aid of her Vision, Lisa acquired the knowledge that she sought. But she also sensed the deep secret hidden in the shadows of that knowledge.
For whatever reasons, the gods gave humans the key to changing everything, but they did not explain the cost involved. Lisa grew fearful of the truth.
The Vision that hung from her neck became to her a bottomless pit filled with sweet delights, lingering at the back of her mind.
So, from time to time, when somebody whom she finds interesting comes along, Lisa will pass onto them her understanding on all kinds of matters.
Perhaps she is secretly hoping that by doing so, one day someone will come along who has the ability to understand the ultimate truth behind Visions.

FAQs
How old is Lisa in Genshin Impact?
Although there is no confirmation, Lisa is speculated to be 28-30 years old. She spent time in Sumeru academia and is the biggest genius in the last two centuries. She watched Amber grow up as well and this implies that she is older than most characters.
Is Lisa rare?
Lisa is a very rare character since pulling for her constellations is extremely hard. It is available only in starglitter exchange and wanderlust invocation.
Does Lisa like the traveler?
This question is very subjective. Lisa likes the traveler the same way everyone else does and she does keep implying that she thinks the traveler is cute, but due to the significant age difference, it is probably just that Lisa finds the traveler adorable.
Final Thoughts
Lisa is a character that players often mistake for being weak because of her character trial. Upon ascension, Lisa’s kit becomes increasingly better every time. Although electro reactions are on the weaker side in general, she can trigger reactions like electrocharged and overload and deal massive damage thanks to her special stat of elemental mastery. Her talent ‘static electricity field’ provides incredible support by not only applying constant electro through her burst, but also by decreasing the defense of the enemy. She can be an incredible support for characters like Eula, where constant application of electro paired with her cryo causes superconduct, further lowering the enemy’s defenses.
She also makes for an incredible dps, especially with her constellations. Her abilities scale incredibly well and deal lots of damage. Every single one of her constellations including the simple talent level up contributes to her dps thanks to the incredible scaling on her skills.
Lisa is the perfect person if you want a walking encyclopedia to laze around with. She knows about almost everything and is even observant. Her potions can heal or even buff your characters. Maybe the next time you try one-shotting the Cryo Regisvine with Hu Tao, you should consider using Lisa to craft you that pyro essential oil.
