Alyssa
Alyssa Searrs is a supporting character of the series My-HiME, although
she also appears in other incarnations in the subsequent manga adaptations and
in the alternate universe sequel My-Otome, where she has dramatically different
backgrounds. She was voiced by Yuko Miyamura in the original Japanese version
and Wendy Morrison in the English dub, though Yuko Miyamura is kept as Alyssa's
singing voice.

Interesting Facts
- In the My-HiME universe, Alyssa's birthday is on April 1, making her an
Aries, and her hairstyle somewhat resembles the horns of a goat, and the fact
that her birthday falls on April Fool's Day may be a reference to her status
as a "fake" HiME.
- In the fake My-HiME movie trailer produced by Sunrise Alyssa is seen sitting
on a throne-like chair with Arika taunting her as a possible reference to
their relationship in My-Otome. Arika in this trailer is presented as another
"fake" HiME, but has the ability to materialize a weapon, therefore
making her the superior of the two Searrs created Valkyries. Arika's child
is pink in this trailer and greatly resembles Alyssa's Artemis, earning it
the fanon name Apollo after Artemis' twin brother in Greek Mythology.
- Alyssa's surname, Searrs, may be a deliberate, if incorrectly spelled,
reference to the Sears Holdings Corporation. This is because the Searrs Foundation
is a "US corporation", just like the Sears Holdings Corporation.
It may also be a reference to George Sears, the pseudonym of Solidus Snake.
This theory is strengthened by Natsuki's claim that the Searrs Foundation
controls who becomes the President of the United States, just as how the Patriots
control the American Presidency in Metal Gear.
