Five

"'I'm glad it was you I ran into.'""- Five to Benny"Five is a central character in LISA: The Hopeful. She acts as the main goal for nearly all characters in the game, though sometimes for different motivations. She can also be fought if playing on the Cyclops Route, though the battle is unwinnable.

Personality
Despite not having much dialogue in game, save for few of the endings, Five is shown to be a cautious and wary woman, as she seems to want to avoid confrontation with others in most instances. Besides this, very little is known about Five as her interactions with party members and characters alike are kept to an absolute minimum.

In Battle
The battle against Five is exclusive to the Cyclops Route, in which Cyclops, in the name of his friends, attempts to apprehend Five so that "the world may live again". However, due to his injuries, Cyclops is unable to attack Five or use any items, making the fight unwinnable.

Even if the player were to somehow lower Five's health to 0, the battle would play out as normal, as she is not coded to be KO'ed.

Story
Little is told to the player directly about Five, as most information on her can only be inferred by notes in Area 4.

From what is shown, it can be determined that Five was one of at least twelve women that were held captive in a facility created by Dr. Yado. For unknown reasons, Yado had ordered that the women, at some point in time, escape from the facility. However, at least one of the women had been taking Joy and as a result mutated, presumably leading to the deaths of three or more of the women and allowing the rest to escape but separating them in the process.

After escaping and getting separated, Five travels through Olathe digging out the number five in walls in the hopes that the other women would be able to track her down based on the breadcrumb trail she was leaving. Eventually, she is caught and kidnapped by The Sportsters and held for their tournament, but manages to escape after killing one of them. She then makes her way through Area 3 and 4, eventually getting caught by Hart and the remaining Lovelies, which are then dispatched by either Beltboy, Lanks, Cyclops or the whole of Rodriguez' gang.

In the Beltboy Route, Benny defeats Hart and stumbles into the room in which she is held, stating that he "needs a friend", after falling on the ground and passing out. Through dialogue in the post-credits, it is revealed that Five reveals to Benny that there are other women, that she had been separated from them and asks that he help her in finding the rest of them, as well as freeing more that are being held elsewhere.

In the Lanks Route, Liam defeats Hart and begins walking into the building Five is held in whilst injured, but falls down before making it to her room. Five then can be seen walking past Liam, completely ignoring his attempts to stop her and leaving him for dead.

In the Cyclops Route, Clyde defeats Hart and begins walking to Five's room, the least injured of the three. Clyde then attempts to apprehend Five and rape her to begin repopulating the planet, though due to his injuries still being quite severe is easily beaten and presumably killed by Five.

In the Rodriguez Route, Rodriguez' party are all greatly injured at the hands of Hart and the remaining Lovelies. Five exits the building and approaches the five on the ground, who request help from her. Five turns their request for help down, sarcastically stating that she's sure that would end well for her, before leaving the five as they are on the ground.

If Benny, Liam or Clyde have taken Joy in their own routes, they will all have mutated after defeating Hart and make their way to Five, presumably killing her as they enter the room.
