Alyssa Schaeffer

Overview
Alyssa is an 8th grader at Kadic Academy. She is the direct descendant of Franz and Anthea Schaeffer. After they were reunited in the prologue of Book 1, they had a son, and through this son, Alyssa came into being.

Personality
Alyssa is very peppy. She gets excited easily, and her spirits can fall just as easily. She loves the color pink, and wears it all the time.

She does well in school, although she has a hard time understanding some of the harder aspects of math. She was born with a brain for math though, so once she gets it, she becomes good at it.

Alyssa is good friends with Brittany. This relationship was forged long before she had ever heard of Lyoko. She shares a dorm with her, making the relationship even stronger.

She became friends with Sean, Tennent, and Sammy when Sammy was forced to bring her to the Factory with him. She doesn't understand anything of the SuperComputer's programs, but she often let's Sammy talk out what he is trying to do to her. Usually this helps unblock the situation. Despite this, she hasn't figured out how anything about the SuperComputer works.

On Lyoko
On Lyoko, Alyssa is very different. She is quite agile and her eyes are pink after Book 1. She uses her Lyoko Power "Creativity" to combat monsters. In addition to this, she also has a weapon called "Energy Fields". Between these two, she is more than a match for XANA and his monsters.

In the beginning, Alyssa had trouble learning how to fight, but now she is very good at it.

After Book 1, Sammy programs vehicles for the gang. Alyssa rides the OverGlide, piloting it skillfully throughout Lyoko.
