Alyssa Hamilton (アリッサ・ハミルトン Arissa Hamiruton) is the protagonist of Clock Tower 3.
Appearance[]
Alyssa has bright turquoise-blue eyes. She has chin-length Venetian-blonde hair, laid around her face on the sides, with a straight-cut fringe that rests on her eyebrows.
Alyssa usually wears her green boarding school uniform, which consists of a green jacket and tartan patterned blue and orange skirt. She wears a white shirt beneath her jacket, with a small red neck-tie, white socks and mauve colored shoes with black soles.
Personality[]
Alyssa is a responsible, wise and intelligent girl. She is very polite and respectful of others and is shown to be caring and kind. Alyssa's compassion shows when she comforts May and Dorothy. A young Alyssa has been called lively, strong-willed, and wise beyond her years by her grandfather in Dick's Notes 1. These qualities make her a strong candidate for helping the tortured victims of serial killers as she risks her life for the chance they can be at peace.
Although she solves puzzles, she can be perceived a bit on the "illogical" side, as well as the "disobedient" side. For example, when her mother told her to go into hiding for a single day, her reaction is to immediately not do that and return home due to worry. She also does not call the police or try to get outside help when she begins discovering dangerous and supernatural things are occurring in her mansion, although this is done so the player would have a game to play. In addition, Alyssa knows that only a Rooder can vanquish a Subordinate, so she takes this role upon herself.
One of her weaknesses is that she tends to be very emotional and sensitive, and this shows when she is forced to see a series of extremely disturbing and violent imagery during the game. However, as the story progresses, she becomes stronger, more tenacious, more emotionally resilient and more independent throughout her experiences.
Similar to Jennifer Simpson, Alyssa also lost her father at a young age. She views her grandfather Dick as a paternal figure. She has significant character development when she gains the courage to confront her relative whom she once loved and respected, even yelling "damn you!" to his face. She reluctantly accepts the harsh truth about her grandfather, as well as the conditions and burdens surrounding her Rooder birth and existence. Clock Tower 3 is Alyssa's coming-of-age story, albeit a very dark and morbid one.
Interest-wise, Alyssa expresses interest in owning a computer, as seen upon examining her mother's desk. She also has a bookshelf with a lot of books in her room, implying an interest in reading.
