Lisa Hamiltion (リサ・ハミルトン Risa Hamiruton), also known by her ring name La Mariposa (ラ・マリポーサ Ra Maripōsa, Spanish for "butterfly"), is a fictional character in the Dead or Alive series of fighting games by Team Ninja and Tecmo (Koei Tecmo). She is a young African-American woman who first appeared in the 2003 spin-off game Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball and made her fighting debut in Dead or Alive 4.[3] Prior to her first appearance, she was once a scientist for DOATEC but later left for other careers which includes pursuing a professional career as a luchadora. Lisa is shown to have multiple connections with other characters in the series.[8]
Appearances
In video games
Lisa Hamilton was once a scientist at DOATEC,[7] being involved in the Epsilon Project that involved modifying the body of the comatose Mugen Tenshin ninja, Hayate, into a superior physical body with superhuman abilities. However she released Hayate after the experiment failed. She then left DOATEC for a job as a stockbroker, though she still remains affiliated to DOATEC as its lead scientist for Project Alpha.[8] Lisa is very sociable and gets along with everyone she's involved with. She 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 Armstrong, her best friend from her high school days.[9]
In Dead or Alive 4, she appears as a masked luchadora going by her ring name, La Mariposa,[10] entering the tournament to match her wrestling skills against Tina's. She also confronts Hayate, revealing to him that she had manipulated him into destroying DOATEC. Also, in a cutscene involving her talking to Helena Douglas, she has shown to have some form of resentment with the company, specifically with Victor Donovan's motives. She finally teams up with Tina to defeat a rival wrestling team at the end of her story mode, revealing her true identity in the process.
In Dead or Alive 5, it is revealed that Lisa is an operative for Donovan's new organization, MIST. In the game's true ending, after she frees Hayate and after the Mugen Tenshin ninjas and Ryu Hayabusa destroy the MIST laboratory, she is trapped under some debris and her scream can be heard in the following explosion.[11]
Thankfully, Lisa survived and manage to get out of MIST's oil rig hideout as of Dead or Alive 6, and was “replaced” by NiCO.[12] Before the sixth tournament, Lisa also prepared prototype anti-Epsilon brace to prevent the Epsilon freezing Hayate's body for a limited time during his encounter with one of the MIST agents.
In Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, Lisa was hired to act as public relations for Zack Island. She then spent the next two weeks on vacation at the island. She would later act as public relations again in the sequel Dead or Alive Xtreme 2.[13]

Reception
The character has received positive reception among critics. GameDaily included her among the "Top 25 Hottest Game Babes", saying "Watching Lisa... err... La Mariposa flying around the wrestling ring makes us want to take up lucha libre, if for nothing else than to let her give us "personal" instruction. It sure beats high school wrestling".[14] GameDaily also included her in the "Babe of the Week: All-American Girls" list, calling her a smoking hot lady with many talents and acknowledging her multiple occupations.[15] GameDaily later included her among "chicks that will kick your ass" along with Kasumi and Tina Armstrong.[16] In 2011, Aubrey Sitterson of UGO Networks rank her 16th on the "Fighting Games' Finest Female Fighters", giving praise to her luchadora persona.[17] In 2015, Artemis of NoobFeed placed her 7th in "The Top 10 Luchadores in Video Games", saying "With various aerial moves that show off her skills as a luchador as well as her cunning and wit, she's not to be underestimated." Artemis also stated "Her fighting style does truly reflect that of the “Butterfly” – which is what La Mariposa means – and she uses this to her advantage".[18] Rachel Anders of LevelSkip included her in "The Top 10 Sexiest Women in Dead or Alive", ranking her 8th. In 2019, Kakuchopurei ranked her 8th "best Dead or Alive waifu", calling her "a great example of a strong lass climbing out from the dredges of a fanservice game to a mothership fighting title, showing the world she can Lucha Libre while looking fabulous".[19]
