Background

Lisa Lisa is a primary ally in the light novel JORGE JOESTAR. She is originally named Elizabeth Straizo (エリザベス・ストレイツォ, Erizabesu Sutoreitso) but also has the nickname of Lisa Lisa since she was a child.↗

While she was a baby on a ship headed to America in 1889, the sudden zombie invasion and death of her parents led to Lisa Lisa naturally breathing in a special way to protect herself. Erina saved the baby and escaped from the ship in Dio Brando 's coffin. When Erina opened the lid while in the ocean, she found Dio's feet attached to the coffin. Dio managed to grab Lisa Lisa out of the coffin and cradled the baby by his chest, using her as a hostage.↗↗

Childhood in La Palma

One day in 1900, Antonio tries shoving dog waste into Jorge's mouth but Lisa Lisa beats the bully up like usual. When Jorge starts crying, Lisa Lisa is furious with Jorge, lecturing him not to be so pathetic. She goes back home by herself and cries in her room, worried about Jorge. Erina gives Jorge a stern talk, letting him know that Lisa Lisa will be leaving them to go live in Italy with her adopted father Straizo, when she turns twelve.↗

Training with Straizo

Throughout the years, Lisa Lisa trains with Straizo and travels with him and the other Ripple warriors to kill monsters. She stays in contact with Erina. In 1904, Erina tells Lisa Lisa that a girl named Penelope de la Rosa moved in with them. At some point, Lisa Lisa goes to England researching about Dio Brando's life. She goes to the remains of the Joestar mansion and talks to people in town, who tell her about Jonathan, Erina, and Dio.↗↗↗

Events on the Coffin

The three walk back home and find Straizo and Erina inside sipping tea. Lisa Lisa tells Erina that it's time to tell Jorge the truth about his father. Erina then describes the life of Jonathan and Dio Brando, leading to Jonathan's eventual death on their honeymoon. Straizo and Lisa Lisa wonder if there is a Stone Mask on the island because it's the second incident of something supernatural occurring.↗↗

Jorge in Prison

Jorge is instantly arrested when he goes back home, but Lisa Lisa secretly hides in his prison cell to keep him company. After the guard brings Jorge back to his cell, Lisa Lisa transmits her Ripple through the ground, inhibiting the guard's thoughts. The guard ends up following his normal routine of putting Jorge back into the cell, locking the door, and then leaving, but his mind couldn't comprehend seeing Lisa Lisa or why there was a refrigerator in the cell.↗↗

The Gremlins

In France, Steven and his father, Ben Motorize, find the group of Ripple warriors while researching methods on how to revive Kenton. After talking to Steven's sister, Darlington, Jorge contacts Lisa Lisa to inform her of Steven and Ben's plans. Lisa Lisa convinces him that the Motorize men are being watched so everything will be fine, and Steven having his own airplane design will come in handy for the upcoming war.↗

Battle in London

Jorge and Lisa Lisa theorize about Antonio Torres and how he could operate in daylight by hiding inside human bodies. They worry about his capability of quickly creating zombies all over the world. Straizo asks how they can fight zombies inside fighter planes, but Lisa Lisa assures him that Jorge will shoot all the zombies down. Just then, a Ripple warrior informs them that English zombies are attacking their base. Steven leads Jorge and Lisa Lisa to two of his Motorizing planes.↗

Engagement and Marriage (1918-1920)

Tonpetty prophesies that Jorge would die around the time he gets married with Lisa Lisa. Worried, Lisa Lisa starts distancing herself from Jorge and they don't see each other or even contact each other in three years. In 1918 when the war concludes, Jorge realizes that they were only together for two weeks in the last seventeen years, but it felt like they spent a lot more time together.↗

Final Battle

Dio Brando fights Kars in the skies of London, after both traveled back in time from the future through Cube House. Lisa Lisa sees a boy enjoying himself in Penelope's embrace and slaps his head, assuming that he's a pervert. Joji Joestar introduces himself as a detective, handing over his business card. Lisa Lisa's ability to fluently speak Japanese impresses the boy. Although he decides not to tell Lisa Lisa about Kars in case it causes a time paradox, Penelope does so anyways.↗
