Alisa Ayase

Ayase Arisa is the younger sister of Ayase Eli, and a supporting character in the ''Love Live! School Idol Project'' anime.

Background
Arisa is Eli's little sister. Since she grew up outside of Japan, she's unfamiliar with Japanese customs.

Personality
As a fan of μ's, Arisa shows great admiration to them. An example of this is when Sonoda Umi notices Arisa watching a performance of μ's. Arisa notices Umi and asks her if she is Umi from μ's. When Umi tells her she's got the wrong person, Arisa's face immediately saddens. Feeling guilty, Umi tells her that she is not mistaken, which makes Arisa instantly happy again.

She is unafraid to show objection to Eli when she asked the students what they thought about her speech in episode 8; Arisa said she didn't like it and asks Eli if this is what she wants to do.

Clubs and Hobbies
Arisa enjoys listening to music, especially music by the group her older sister is in, μ's.

Chronology
Season I = In Episode 7, Arisa makes her first appearance when Umi sees her standing outside of the school listening to music while waiting for her sister. She recognizes that she was listening to μ's music and asks her where she got it. Arisa replies that her sister recorded it for her. The two girls then hear Eli call out to her sister, but Eli then realizes that Umi is there. Eli then tells Umi that she wants to talk with her and so they go to a park where Eli asks her sister to buy them some drinks. However, Arisa accidentally bought Oden, a kind of food in a can, so she went back to get different drinks. After Eli and Umi are done conversing, Arisa gives Umi a new drink, but it is actually Red Bean Soup. Arisa tells Umi that she loves μ's and all of its members, then goes to join her sister.

In Episode 8, when Eli asks what Arisa and her friends think of her speech, Arisa says she doesn't like it, and asks Eli if this is really what she wants to do. Shocked, Eli is unable to say anything back.

In Episode 11, Arisa goes to the School Festival with Kousaka Yukiho to watch μ's performance on the rooftop, despite the rain. However, once Kousaka Honoka faints from overworking herself, both Arisa and Yukiho are shocked and concerned.

In Episode 13, once μ's reunites, they perform "Start:Dash!!" in the school auditorium, this time filled with people. In the audience, both Arisa and Yukiho are watching in awe. Season II = In Episode 3, Arisa and Yukiho are shown watching the live with a laptop at the Kousaka residence. Arisa was worried about μ's but Yukiho assured her that they will be fine.
