Lalisa Manoban was born in Thailand, but moved away when she was a small child, due to her parents' joint dream of moving to Europe. For most of her life, she was raised in France, only ever leaving the country during a hybrid foreign-exchange program, to which she lived in Michigan, United States for a whole year before returning home for another four years.

Both of her parents are siberian tigers, which makes her purebred. This is exemplified in her physical characteristics, as her body displays the combined traits of her father and mother. Her father is of Thai and English descent, while her mother is full Thai. Though both are fluent in the language, they rarely speak to their daughter in Thai, instead conversing with her in either French or English, depending on how they feel (it changes depending on how they feel). They are rarely strict on Lalisa on the belief that strict parents make rebellious children. Instead, they chose to raise her to be responsible and kind. Unlike many parents, they allowed her to choose her own career path, vowing to support her no matter what she decides to do. 

From middle school to high school, the tigress attended international schools, taught mostly in the British curriculum. There, she learned to speak English fluently, soon falling in love with English literature. In eighth grade (middle school), she volunteered to partake in the hybrid-only foreign exchange program, to which she stayed in Michigan for a year, before returning to attend high school for the full four years in her hometown in France.

There are countless amounts of adversities this girl faced, however common bullying was the most heartbreaking of all. Although hybrids were free to walk the earth, humans weren't  keen on accepting, especially towards her, with how distinctively animalistic she appeared in comparison to other hybrids. While many of her peers possessed more subtle characteristics from their counterpart, Lalisa's, by comparison, was strikingly feline. Adults and children alike viewed her as an abomination, because they saw her as more tiger than human, and thus treated her as such—even when she was just as human as everybody else. 

The tigress is fairly fluent in four languages: Thai, French, English, and Korean. She is most comfortable with conversing in English (mostly because she finds it easier to speak in slang), though she has no problem carrying a casual conversation in Thai, French, and Korean (though she does struggle more with Thai). English is her most-used language, while French is reserved for her parents. It does come out when she is intoxicated enough, though. 

Her accent is confusing to most, and understandably so. Her pronunciation of the English vernacular is predominantly British, which is a result of attending middle and high school that teaches with the British curriculum. However, because her mother tongue is French, she speaks British with a French lilt, which is most noticeable when she pronounces certain words. Her overall accent however, slightly faded during her time in the foreign exchange program, when she studied in the United States for a year. 

She owns a male, Camelot macaw, which is a common hybrid between a Scarlet macaw and Catalina macaw (hybrid of Scarlet and Blue and Gold macaw). Comet, in particular, is considered rare, as a yellow or golden variation of this hybrid. She adopted him on July 17th from a family that specializes in training birds for several months before finding suitable homes for them. Comet is a rather lazy yet enthusiastic and social parrot. His owner finds that he does not scare easily, as he is a curious creature. He mostly stays silent when he is not repeating phrases voluntarily or on cue, only ever screaming when lost or sensing danger (Lalisa tries to avoid unnecessary screaming by distracting him and cueing him for any of his trained tricks or phrases). Oddly enough, he prefers walking and running over flying, which Lalisa is adamant on changing. He has an adorable habit of staring at his feet for unusually long periods of time. So far, the words and phrases he says repeatedly are: hello, Comet, Bubba, Bubby, baby boy, byebye, Lali, oooh, I love you, and woo! He also makes kissy sounds and mimics Lisa's laugh.
