Star Stable Online
When the game first begins, Lisa is one of the missing Soul Riders, along with Anne. She was last seen on a tour with her rock band, but she failed to come back. The druids believe that she was kidnapped by Dark Core.
It is revealed in Star Stable Online that Starshine, who is seen walking through Greendale Forest in the Harvest Counties, is finally able (with the player's help) to search for Lisa. They find the outline of a girl riding a horse burned into the stone of a mountainside, which looks very similar to her riding Starshine. They then find a Pandoric crack and, after contacting Linda, they find out that Lisa is trapped inside Pandoria.
Information about how to rescue her is limited until Linda finally manages to dig up some helpful history. The key to Lisa's rescue is for the player to request the help of an ancient tree, which is capable of reaching into Pandoria with its roots. Talking to the tree must occur at midnight. Only then will the ancient tree agree to help the player.
After the rescue attempt is made, the player's horse gets caught in a trap set by the four Dark Riders, who are hiding nearby. They threaten to cause more problems, but then Lisa appears. She defeats the Dark Riders and saves the player's horse. The next day, after Lisa has had a chance to rest, a druid meeting is held. Lisa then returns to the Jorvik Stables along with Starshine.
Then, she, the soul riders and the player travel to the Dark Core's oil rig to rescue Justin and during the attempt she was amazed that the player's horse was able to fly. After taking Justin to the druids she and the others were shocked that he was arrested.
When it's time to rescue Anne after the player returns with the Pandorian Keystone. Linda and the others want to go with the player to rescue Anne; Fripp forbids them and wishes the player luck but when the player returns with no success she informs them that she was stopped by Darko. As Darko and Garnok forced their way into the Secret Stone, Soul Riders were restrained by his power but Fripp uses his powers to destroy to keystone forcing them out saving everyone but the creature in a weakened state. But she heard him speak of Evergray before he passed out.
With attempts to rescue Anne put on hold they all focus on finding Concorde, but from one the Dark Riders she is informed that he is gone. And yet, hope wasn't lost Elizabeth told Lisa that Concorde like Meteor, Starshine and Tin-Can were Starbreeds also that they could be reborn again.
Upon finding Evergray, Lisa and the player are brought to the Guardian's Dale Gateway from him she learns that the soul riders could use this portal to get back to Pandorian. While exploring Lisa and Starshine go near the statue and it begins to glow but being so worried about Anne she leaves until being talked down by the player.
Lisa went off on another mission upon her return she was surprised to see that the others had rescued Concorde. Now with the guardian horses back together Lisa and the others are determined to save Anne.
