Lisa was named after a train called Lil' Lisa on her parents' 1st anniversary. She is a charismatic 8-year-old girl, who exceeds the standard achievement of the intelligence level of children her age. Not to everyone's surprise, she is also the moral center of her family. In her upbringing, Lisa lacks parental involvement of Homer and Marge Simpson, which leads to hobbies such as playing saxophone and guitar, riding and caring for horses, and interest in advanced studies. In school, Lisa's popularity is affected by those who view her as a geeky overachiever, which leaves her with only a few friends. She focuses on her goals and strives to reach her potential, and at the age of eight, she is already a member of Mensa with an IQ of 159.
Lisa's Roles in the Ultimate Story[]
Lisa made her first official major role during the events of The Lisa Simpson Chronicles. She was awakened by the Powerpuff Girls in order to demonstrate their experimental ability, going at blind speed to reach other worlds. They wanted to test it out and invite Lisa along, who then wanted to bring Maggie and her puppy, Sally, upon Bubbles' request, It worked but they wound up stranded on a mysterious planet, Mobius. They later met up with Sonic the Hedgehog and his 2-tailed buddy, Miles "Tails" Prower. Later on, they encountered a fairy named Ly who wanted Lisa to complete her fairy training here for an entire year to master her newfound powers. With that, they also came across enemies such as Scratch and Grounder, and Dr. Robotnik, and later Taj, the elephant genie, who granted the girls their abilities.
As she was training to become a fairy, the Mystics had taken notice of her special abilities that grew from her advanced intelligence. From this, they intended to use these gifts to help fulfill something they mentioned was called the "Ultimate Destiny". From this, they asked her to use her special powers to seek out those who would take part in this "Ultimate Destiny" with her playing a number of vital roles in it. From this, she was able to seek out and select a few who she believe could be trusted with the secrets that the Mystics have been keeping from many, fearing that such knowledge could prove detrimental to everyone if shared by those who would exploit them.
From here, Lisa met and befriended a few of the heroes that she considered worthy of knowing these secrets. Those heroes were Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus Aran, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox McCloud, and Pikachu. There have been many things that she had to take in order to test her judgment, such as really understand the people around her by closely examining and in order to do so, she had to pretend to be one of the chosen heroes who were selected to be tested for this Destiny. From this, she was able to get personal experience with these people as a means of really understanding who she had to choose. Other tasks included choosing a few others to take part in the Ultimate Destiny when she was originally asked to choose only 8. This was to gain understanding in which she had to rely on more people encase the situation became too much for the few that she had to select. From this, she picked out 4 more heroes: Jigglypuff, Captain Falcon, Luigi and Ness. Each were not selected to be in the top 8 for a number of reasons.
One year had passed and Lisa, Maggie, Sally, and the Girls returned to Earth. After returning to Earth, Lisa was faced with the same green, one-eyed alien that she had chased away for distrusting them. The citizens of Springfield were immediately on board with trusting them, however, Lisa could sense that they were anything but genuine. Despite the challenges that she had faced, she was able to defeat the green aliens, exposing their plans and chasing them away, saving the town. However, the people of Springfield showed very little gratitude and still disliked her and her friends for some reason. However, they had a fierce rivalry with Townsville, competing constantly for being the better town. Townsville had shown to be grateful towards Lisa and her friends for saving her town and Earth from the aliens which hurt Springfield's chances of receiving any rewards. From there, Springfield was forced to be nice and more welcoming towards Lisa as a way to upstage Townsville, much to their dismay. Lisa knew that she was being used by the town so they could win, but she took pleasure in the enforced kindness that they had to show in order to get what they want.
Much time after the defeat of the aliens, Lisa and the others got a telepathic message from Ly. They then left Springfield behind for a long time, and Buttercup was quite happy about their departure, especially away from Homer whom he though was "BORING!" Their mission was to visit Kanto, specifically Pallet Town at Professor Oak's lab. There, Lisa owned a Cubone, and it was the first to hold something valuable. After that they needed to find a sacred backpack found in Cerulean City; it was there where Lisa met Misty, and she became a mentor to her on gaining her dormant powers as well as tutoring her through her own fairy training.
Lisa went to many locations hunting for Ly's mystic items and eventually awakening Polokus as well as Misty's mermaid abilities. From Rayman's world, to Ripple Star, and finally to Corneria where Misty's training would take place. After retrieving Ly's repaired Crystal, it revealed that Lisa's Cubone and Ly's Mew were holding the 10 Pokemon Stones she created; it was designed to locate the remaining missing Pokémon on Earth, but it wasn't until Misty was to complete her training.
Lisa became a close friend to Misty and she stayed with her through and through along with Princess Peach, tutoring Misty on her princess training. She then got a signal from Sally, and she, Lisa, and Maggie were greatly weakened by the Darkness on Earth; it was then that Ly contacted Lisa, telling her that Misty must master her techniques as well as develop friendships to those whom she should trust. Lisa had decided to pass on her teachings unto her. When the year was up, Misty was able to return to Earth, and Lisa stuck by her side as she received the truth hidden by her sisters. Lisa's next mission was to return to Prof. Oak and they needed a Trainer to complete the Ultimate Destiny.
Unfortunately, there weren't any Trainers available. So Lisa used her telepathy and found out that each Gym had shut down for various reasons. In order to resolve this issue, Lisa contacted her top students and gather them in a secret realm where she used to be in. She brought Misty as well as the others and reunited with her students from the academy she set up. She assigned Mario, DK, Link, Samus, Kirby, Fox, Captain Falcon, and Ness to different Gyms, while Pikachu was still missing as was Jigglypuff.
The journey through Kanto began after Lisa gave Misty a rule book as well as another with encrypted pages. She, Misty, and their group returned to Kanto from Townsville after they gave Buttercup a bath from battling a disgusting monster. Their late arrival couldn't be more convenient since a beginner named Ash Ketchum was also tardy. Oak gave him a Pikachu, which was the same one that was missing from the academy. Lisa and Misty promised to stick with Ash until he collects all 8 Gym Badges and finds all 10 Pokémon stones.
After that, Lisa made some cameo appearances throughout the Ultimate Story, with her roles becoming less frequent and shorter.
