Biography

Lisanna Strauss (Japanese: リサーナ・ストラウス, Hepburn: Risāna Sutorausu) was a human born in Earthland where she was the youngest sibling of Elfman Strauss and Mirajane Strauss. It was known that when she was young that her parents had died leading to the Strauss siblings becoming orphans as a result. At one point in time, after Mirajane defeated the demon in her village and gained its abilities, Lisanna and her siblings left the village, being feared by its inhabitants. Eventually, with Lisanna being around eleven years old at that time, they reached the Fairy Tail Guild and, even though Lisanna and Elfman got along well with everyone quickly, their older sister continued to be lonely. In order to change that, Lisanna and Elfman learnt their respective Take Over from Makarov. In the year X782, she almost lost her life while trying to revert Elfman after his full-body Take Over went out of control. When Elfman tried to Take Over the Beast, he lost control of himself in the new state, and Lisanna confronted him, trying to calm him down. However, Elfman's Beast Soul form hit her, sending her flying several meters away, an act which seemingly shocked Elfman enough for him to revert to himself. Lisanna is shown in her last moments holding her sister's hand, although she actually didn't die. Mirajane was tending her wounds when an Anima opened and took her into Edolas. When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a different Fairy Tail Guild. Everyone at the guild believed that she was the Lisanna they knew, and welcomed her back with a smile. From their reaction, she deduced that their Lisanna had passed away. She found herself unable to say anything, and pretended to be their Lisanna.

Upon seeing Lucy Ashley bullying who she thought was Natsu Dragion and Jet and Droy scolding Elfman, she arrives to tell them to stop. She was surprised by Natsu’s behavior towards her when he and Happy tearfully cry out her name and attempt to hug her before getting kicked by Lucy Ashley. When Natsu begins to explain that he came from Earth Land to save their companions, Lisanna was seen hiding behind the bar and eventually running outside. Realizing that he’s the Natsu that she knows, Lisanna begins to cry. Not wanting to hurt Edolas’ Mirajane and Elfman, she makes the difficult decision and decides to stay in Edolas herself. During the battle against the Royal Army, she was seen running out along with all the guild members and fights with a staff. She cheered up Natsu Dragion during the battle. However, when the Anima begins to take the living beings with Magic inside away, she begins to glow. Lisanna tries to explain, but Mirajane and Elfman of Edolas reveal that they already knew. Elfman said that they already noticed, but just could not say it, and apologize. Mirajane then says that she's like their Lisanna, someone who was really kind, and thus she could not let her real siblings cry anymore. As Lisanna tearfully screams out their names, Mirajane asks her to give them their regards. Back on Earth Land, Panther Lily finds and catches Lisanna for being a suspicious character. When everyone sees her, the whole group, especially Natsu, is surprised by her appearance. She asks Panther Lily if he is an Exceed, to which he replies by stating his name, and Gajeel angrily asks her if she was picking a fight with his cat. She then noticed Natsu, and immediately runs up to him, her hug tackling him down to the ground, in blushes and tears similar as to when he saw first saw her in Edolas. She then hugged Happy, and was glad to see Gray and Erza as well. She notices Lucy and Wendy too, and deduces they must be the Earth Land versions of their counterparts back in Edolas. Gray then asks if she was Lisanna of Earth Land, to which she replies affirmatively. Everyone is further shocked, and Happy and Natsu happily try to hug her, but Erza stops them, stating that Lisanna died two years ago. Lisanna then explains the truth to everyone about how an Anima absorbed her when Mirajane tried to heal her. Natsu asks why she did not tell the truth when they first met, to which Lisanna says that she could not bear the weight of hurting her adopted siblings. At Kardia Cathedral, Mirajane and Elfman are visiting Lisanna’s grave, two years since her apparent death. Suddenly, they are surprised to hear a voice they once knew call out to them. Turning around, their eyes widen at the sight of Lisanna running. All of them cry and hug each other for the first time in two years.

After the Edolas Incident, Lisanna returns to the guild and mentions numerous changes such as Mirajane’s personality. While everyone is talking about Edolas, she joins in and mentions how Natsu's counterpart is more sensitive, cried a lot from being picked on, and was really cute. This makes everyone laugh to the point that they would have liked to see a Natsu, who was the exact opposite of their own. After the regular guild parties and fights, she was seen sleeping with her siblings. A few days later, Lisanna and Wendy watch as the guild members take up numerous jobs. During that time, she and Wendy learn that Carla now has better control of her visions, she asks her if she can see who she will marry in the future whereupon Carla answers that she could not see too far into the future yet. A day later, she watches the ceremony of the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial and was seen calling good luck to Elfman when he was chosen. Moments after the ceremony, she is seen with Team Natsu and the others, commenting on how Natsu wants to become an S-Class Mage and find Igneel. Lisanna then decides to become Juvia's partner, due to the good relationship she has with Edolas Juvia. This makes Elfman angry as he thought she would be his. She then tells him that Evergreen has been watching him for a while and proposes that they team up.

As the participants head towards the island, Lisanna was among the group barely standing the heat. Shortly after, the master arrived to explain the rules of the first trial. When the first trial starts, she and Juvia were delayed due to Fried’s rune on the boat, preventing everyone from leaving for five minutes. As soon as the runes are released, she transforms into a fish and swims with Juvia to the island. Lisanna and Juvia choose the ‘D’ route as they get to the island and encounter Erza as their opponent. However, despite a tedious fight, Erza overcomes both of them, eliminating her and Juvia from the trial. Lisanna and Juvia then met up with Mirajane and Erza at a tent and hear of Mirajane's defeat at the hands of Elfman and Evergreen when they said they were getting married. While Mirajane thought there was nothing going on between them, Lisanna still thought that they go well together. When everyone remembered Fried and Bickslow heading back to the guild, they wonder about Mest and Wendy. Lisanna said that she had never met Mest in Edolas, so she did not know anything about him and asked if he joined in the last two years. However, nobody seemed to notice or remember anything about him joining. She and Mirajane later, presumably saw the warning signal that Erza launched to issue the warning of enemies. Grimoire Heart membered then arrive, and Lisanna and Mirajane dispatched all of them in their immediate vicinity. Azuma then confronted the pair, and although Mirajane told her to get back, Lisanna said she will fight. Azuma began using his Great Tree Arc Magic to attack Mirajane and Lisanna. Lisanna was amazed at Azuma's incredible Magic Power, but said that she was not going to hold back and uses Animal Soul: Harpy and tries to attack Azuma with the claws. Azuma grabs it effortlessly and Lisanna transformed into a giant penguin and tries to smash Azuma, but he evades it. Mirajane is surprised that her sister can change Take Overs instantly and asks herself since when she's been able to perform such a high level technique. Lisanna transforms by using Animal Soul: Rabbit and Azuma uses Bleve. From the smoke, Lisanna takes flight as a giant bird, and transforms into a cat in the sky. She falls to the ground and tries attacking Azuma with continuous scratches, which he evades and then counters with an explosion.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Lisanna Strauss was a young petite girl with short, white hair and blue eyes. As a child, Lisanna wore a simple, pink dress paired with dark red shoes.

Up on her arms above her elbows, she wore gold rings with a pale pink fabric flowing down from them. She wore tall, black socks along with brown shoes. Lisanna's guild member stamp was located on her left upper arm and was red, but the stamp disappeared when she got sucked into the Anima. After she is in Edolas, it is seen that she got re-stamped on her left upper leg, colored white, the same place and color as her older sister, Mirajane's.

Lisanna’s personality was defined by her warmth, empathy, and optimism. She was deeply caring toward her siblings and guildmates, often acting as a voice of reason or comfort during emotional conflicts. Her calm and gentle nature contrasted with Mirajane’s flirtatious confidence and Elfman’s bravado, making her the most level-headed of the Strauss siblings. Despite her kindness, Lisanna possessed quiet determination and courage, never hesitating to defend her friends or confront danger when necessary. Her near-death experience and years in Edolas only deepened her appreciation for life and her bonds with others, giving her a grounded perspective that inspired her guildmates.

When Lisanna was younger, she was very kind like Elfman was as a child. She wanted to help Natsu Dragneel raise an unknown egg to see what comes out of it, being a little more knowledgeable than Natsu.

Whilst raising the egg with Natsu, he learned it was 'impossible' to win in an argument with her.

Lisanna apparently likes animals especially cats but she hates studying.

Her personality meant that she could easily adjust and be accepted by anyone.

Powers and abilities

Lisanna Strauss was a human who possessed Magic Power (魔力, Maryoku) who came to hold the potential for Magic (魔法, Mahō) power.

Her magical ability was Take Over (接収テイクオーバー Teiku Ōbā) that was similar to her siblings Elfman and Mirajane 'Take Over Magic'. Her transformation was based on transforming her body into animal and hybrid-animal forms which was called Animal Soul (アニマルソウル Animaru Sōru). She could use her Take Over transformations in a variety of ways, and was seen augmenting her physical capabilities and parameters during combat through their use. Lisanna was able to chain five Take Overs instantly when she fights with Azuma. According to Mirajane, this was a high level Take Over technique. Lisanna Strauss was a human mage of the Fairy Tail Guild who specialized in Take Over Magic, specifically the Animal Soul variant. This magic allowed her to transform parts of her body into those of various animals, granting her enhanced strength, speed, and adaptability in combat. She could take on forms such as a cat, bird, or tiger, using their respective traits for offense, defense, and reconnaissance. Her transformations were not purely physical but also magical in nature, allowing her to harness elemental aspects of the animals she imitated. While not among the guild’s most powerful combatants, Lisanna’s versatility and control over her magic made her a reliable teammate and a skilled support fighter. Her mastery of Take Over Magic reflected both her innate magical talent and her deep emotional bond with her family, serving as a testament to her perseverance and strength of spirit.

Among the techniques known to her included:

• Animal Soul: Bird (鳥 Tori) : a Take Over power, Lisanna resembled a bird with green and pinkish feathers. She used this form to raise and warms an egg that Natsu found in a forest.

• Animal Soul: Rabbit (兎 Usagi) : a Take Over power, Lisanna transformed herself into a giant purple rabbit in order to build the hideout that was meant to hatch Natsu's egg. Lisanna can also takes on the form of a humanoid rabbit with slightly longer ears sticking up and white fur body and dark colored legs having only retaining her face, head and hair humanoid. This form enhances her kicks as she attacks her opponents.
