Biography[]
Alis tearfully listens to her brother's final words.
Early Life[]
Little is known of Alis' early life aside from the fact that her parents were killed and she was orphaned, causing her older brother Nero to care for her and himself.
Phantasy Star[]
At the age of fifteen, Alis sees her brother joining a revolutionary group. But her brother is killed by King Lassic's Robot-Cops. Alis finds her brother and in his dying breath, he asks her to try to discover Lassic's plans. As he dies, she swears to avenge his death.
Alis sets out on her mission, and meets and befriends Myau the musk cat, Odin the warrior and Lutz the Esper. Her mission changes from revenge to saving Algo as she travels through the Algo solar system.

Phantasy Star II[]
Long after her death, she appears in the dreams of her descendant Rolf, fighting the first Dark Force, before he begins his quest to defeat the second millennium's rebirth of the Dark Force.
Phantasy Star IV[]
Alis appears in a flashback of Algo's history.
It is here that is revealed Alis' family name - Landale. Visiting the town of Termi, Chaz Ashley comes across a statue of the heroine 'Alis Landale'. Since both her father and brother were killed in the first millennium, it is likely that the family name was not passed on to Alis' descendants.
Alis also appears to Chaz when he ventures to find Elsydeon, the ultimate sword. As Chaz touches the sword, memories of all the previous Protectors of Algo come to him telling him of his mission and giving him guidance - including Alis.
