Alisa (Netflix)
CharacterIn the Netflix series, Alisa is Jet Black's former partner and the mother of his daughter Kimmie. Their strained history plays out in stolen moments at recitals and doorsteps, where old resentment keeps bumping against Jet's stubborn devotion to his child.
Appearance
Alisa has blonde hair and blue eyes. When she first turns up she is dressed plainly, wearing a black tank top layered beneath gray plaid sweaters, a few necklaces at her throat, and shoes to match.
Personality
She still carries a fair amount of bitterness toward Jet and keeps a tight grip on his access to their daughter, allowing him visits only on rare occasions. Beneath that guardedness, though, she recognizes just how much his presence means to Kimmie.
History
Alisa meets Jet at the door when he arrives bearing a gift for Kimmie, a dog named Ein, but she turns it away, pointing to the heavy tax on keeping one. Her history with Jet resurfaces in a passing remark, when he tells Fad that the two of them had settled on a name for their unborn child.
She reappears at Kimmie's recital, caught off guard to learn the flowers her daughter received had come from Jet. As Chalmers slips away to photograph Kimmie up close, Jet uses the opening to ask Alisa for copies of the pictures; she agrees and tells him that his being there matters deeply to Kimmie, to which he replies that he would fight the world to show up for her. He has to leave suddenly, and the two trade goodbyes.
After Vicious and his syndicate abduct Kimmie and she is safely recovered, Alisa drives off with the girl alongside Chalmers while a wounded Jet watches from a distance.
