Lisa (personification)
Lisa is a national personification of Gylias.
History
The image of Lisa appeared during the Golden Revolution, as a 1960s political cartoon in The Social Times. Her design reflected the emergence of Gylian society's ideals of socialised luxury. Her depiction became popular, and she was accepted as an adult counterpart to Ana, who was more representative of the Free Territories.
Lisa's name is an abbreviation of "Gylisa", a pun that came into use as her image spread as a personification of Gylias.
Description
Lisa is a young adult woman with purple eyes and long hair, tied in the back. She wears a distinctive costume, consisting of shirt and tie, a blue double-breasted suit, a long white skirt, a purple cape, and black gloves.
Lisa is depicted as a sophisticated and elegant woman, who is charming, intelligent, and down-to-earth and friendly towards everyone.
Images of Lisa frequently show her following a French ideal of refinement, featuring roses, wine and champagne.
Depictions of Lisa as a national personification tend to be concentrated in popular culture, educational contexts, and public information campaigns. She is generally absent from official government symbols in order to avoid associating her with politics.
