Alis Landale

Biography

Alis is the heroine and main character of Phantasy Star. When the game begins, her brother, Nero, is executed after attempting to put an end to the plans of Lashiec, the corrupt king of the Algo system. After swearing to avenge his death, Alis sets out to defeat Lashiec herself, beginning a journey that will become legend.

Once Lashiec is finally defeated, Alis learns that Nero is not her brother by blood - she was actually adopted by Nero's family after the deaths of her natural parents. Her biological father was the previous king of Algo, before Lashiec rose to power. Alis is actually a princess and next in line for the throne. She is given the option ascending to the position of queen.

Whether or not Alis becomes queen is unknown (the player is allowed to choose), but regardless of her choice, she becomes a legendary figure in the history of Algo. Her legacy endures for thousands of years. Space ships named after Alis are built one thousand years later and remain use, in Phantasy Star II - IV, for at least another thousand years after that. Statues of the heroine can also be found two thousand years later, in Phantasy Star IV.

At some point after the events of Phantasy Star, Alis leaves the Algo system and travels to a colony established in the Copt solar system. At this colony, Alisaland, she enters a cryogenic sleep until being awakened by Mina, a clone Alis had created some years previously. (In a fan translation of Phantasy Star Gaiden, Mina is called Alis' daughter.) Alis helps Mina and her friends conquer a dire threat to Alisaland. Following this victory, Alis leaves to return to Algo.

Alis' fate after this is unknown. She had children at some point, as Rolf is her descendant. When this happened, or if Alis made it back to Algo, is anyone's guess. After her eventual death, Alis' spirit rested in the Cavern of the Sacred Sword below Esper Mansion, where she helped to shelter Elsydeon. When Chaz Ashley came to claim that sword, Alis appeared to him.
