- Supporting
- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 8
A slender, almost frail-looking elf woman with pale skin, platinum-blonde hair cinched severely back into a ponytail, and gently tapered pointed ears. Her fitted white top and pants are covered by sturdy cloth from neck to boots, with thicker protective panels over vital areas; a white belt holds many small pouches, and a sword rests at her hip. Her clothes and boots are spotless. She stands with lithe grace and composed confidence, her expression capable of turning to blank disdain or a sharp glare.

Anisa Lasalle begins the series as a rigidly devout priestess of the God of Purity, assigned to Farrah’s adventuring party for field experience. Her early arc is defined by ideological clashes with Jason Asano, whom she brands “tainted” for his familiar, and by her cold, judgmental demeanor toward the entire group. By Book 10 she is cited only for having spread the doctrine that essences corrupt pure souls, and in Book 11 Rufus expels her from the party after she kills a captive before he can speak, effectively ending her on-page presence.
