Princess Alishia Diphda

Princess Alishia Diphda was one of the most prominent figureheads during and after the Hyland/Rolance War and one of the founders of M.O.N.. On a mission in Rolance she saved Dr. Rintaro Okabe from Heldalf. The success of her mission enabled Hyland to start Project Rebirth and develop their Shepard Serum to make the legend of the Shepard come to life. During the project she had befriended Shepard Sorey, one of the project's candidates.

In 1943, after the abrupt end of Project Rebirth and Sorey's transformation into the Shepard, Alishia assisted him in becoming the world's first superhero, and eventually fell in love with him. After Sorey's disappearance in 1945, she continued Hyland's fight against the CCG, capturing the last high-ranking CCG officer, and continuing her service in her Kingdom once the War ended.

As a Princess as well as a knight, Alishia helped former colleague Hoenheim Elric clear his name when he was accused of being a traitor, and later traveled to Marlind where she clashed with the church over the extra dimensional Zero Matter. She helped Elric found the new peacekeeping organization, the Monster Ops: Neutralization, better known by its acronym M.O.N.. She eventually married a former Hyland soldier and became a mother of two children, though she would continue her service in M.O.N. during the turbulent years of the Kingdom's reign. Eventually Alishia retired from both knighthood and her role as Princess and saw her descendant Agent Diphda follow in her footsteps. During her retirement, Alishia learned that Shepard Sorey had survived all these years, but by this time she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and struggled to take in the news. She died peacefully in her sleep in 2016.

Abilities
Alisha uses a long spear in combat to perform quick attacks, much like her instructor, Lady Maltran; the two also share a mystic arte, Light Blast. Alisha's artes allow her to attack from further away than the others and enable her to rapidly close the distance to her target. Her fighting style and weapon are proficient at keeping the enemy stunned, often times sending them into the air.
