Lisa-tan is depicted as a former diva turned clinically depressive. She has silver eyes, blonde hair in pigtails, dons a long white gown, long white gloves, a diamond tiara, and still wears them despite not having a decent suitor in several years. She was was charming at first but unintentionally spoiled by her proud company and oldest sister, Apple II-tan. Unfamiliar with menial tasks and computer games, Lisa-tan would rather mingle with the affluent than the petty home user. Lisa-tan's depression began to set in when Macintosh System 1-tan arrived and Lisa-tan's wealth and followers gradually siphoned off to her. | Lisa-tan is depicted as a former diva turned clinically depressive.

That traumatic event of parallels how in 1989, thousands of unsold Lisa units were trashed and dumped in a landfill, even after being re-marketed for less; a huge betrayal to her that caused her so much sadness and grief, combined with the repressed sadness and grief from over the years was just so overpowering. | ||
She is now perpetually melancholy and rarely talks and never smiles but expresses herself though poetry. She is still able to perform the menial tasks she despised years ago, and learned to assist [[Apple II| Apple II-tan]] with tasks such as picking apples.

The two have helped each other improve through their friendship with Lisa-tan starting to break out of her shell of apathy. | She is now perpetually melancholy and rarely talks and never smiles but expresses herself though poetry.

By the time Lisa-tan was born in early 1979 (when development on the Lisa project started), [[Apple I|Apple I-tan's]] health was already in sharp decline, so she struggled to look after her.

In late 1979, Lisa-tan found Apple I-tan in her last moments, lying in a nearby field to die in secrecy. Lisa-tan got to say the final words, but was burdened to tell her sisters the bad news. | In late 1979, Lisa-tan found Apple I-tan in her last moments, lying in a nearby field to die in secrecy.

Apple I-tan's death was the first thing that soured her outlook on life. Making matters worse to her was that shortly after her death, Mac System 1-tan was born. Lisa-tan scorned her as a convenient scapegoat, and also out of a deep-seated fear of being replaced and dying alone. | Apple I-tan's death was the first thing that soured her outlook on life. Making matters worse to her was that shortly after her death, Mac System 1-tan was born. Lisa-tan scorned her as a convenient scapegoat, and also out of a deep-seated fear of being replaced and dying alone if System 1-tan were to be successful. She took her frustrations out on her by forcing System 1-tan to be the family servant. | ||
===Early Macintosh era (1984-1989)=== | |||
Lisa-tan was upset that System 1-tan successfully got her public debut and created her own lineage; Lisa-tan felt her influence decline further, and felt more helpless. With the Macs somewhat independent, Apple III having ran away from home, Apple II too busy for long stretches of time, Lisa-tan's helplessness, grief and fear of abandonment worsened. In 1989, these emotions finally consumed her, and she's never been the same since then. | |||
