[edit] Biography
The only daughter of Admiral Donald Hayes, Lisa is the first officer of the Super Dimensional Fortress One, serving under Captain Henry J. Gloval, and with fellow bridge officers Claudia Grant, Kim Young, Sammy Porter, and Vanessa Leeds (the later three sometimes referred to as "The Bridge Bunnies").
Lisa Hayes is the third character featured in the show's love triangle between Rick Hunter and Lynn Minmei. Lisa is depicted as the near polar-opposite of Minmei. Rather than being a flighty, emotional, and somewhat self-centered teenager, Lisa is mature, no-nonsense, and a strong individual. However, at the same time, Lisa is secretly very insecure, and her tough exterior seems little more than a front to protect herself emotionally.
During the First Robotech War, Lisa played a major role in the survival of the SDF-1, as it fought against Zentraedi forces. After a miscalculated fold maneuver transported the SDF-1 and Macross City past the orbit of Pluto, Lisa time and again saved the ship with her quick thinking and actions, as well as her continuous attention to detail and duty as First Officer. During a battle near Saturn, Lisa created the Daedelaus Maneuver as a means of attacking and destroying an enemy Zentraedi vessel. When the SDF-1 was trapped on Mars by gravity mines, Lisa set the power generators of Sara Base to overload. The ensuing explosion took out the gravity mines, allowing the fortress to take off.
During the First Robotech War, Lisa came to know a brash young hotshot pilot named Rick Hunter. Despite a rocky start, Lisa and Rick came to respect each other, and served together in the Robotech Defense Force. Lisa and Rick's personal relationship would continue to mature, and would eventually progress into friendship and love. Rick and Lisa married in 2022. Furthermore, her one-time rival for Rick's affections, Lynn Minmei, eventually makes peace with the officer well enough to volunteer to sing at her wedding.
After the end of the First Robotech War, Lisa would earn command of the Super DimensionalFortress Two. Unfortunately, this command would be short-lived, as the SDF-2 would be destroyed by Zentraedi renegade Khyron in 2014. The SDF-1 was also destroyed in this battle.
In 2022, Lisa, now an Admiral, would take command of the SDF-3, flagship of the Robotech Expeditionary Force to Tirol. The mission's primary goal was to find the Robotech Masters and forge a peace in order to prevent another catastrophic war on Earth. The SDF-3 went missing during an attempted hyperspace fold back to Earth for the final battle of the Third Robotech War with the Invid. In the movie Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles, the SDF-3 is found to have been disabled by a malfunction of the Neutron-S missiles they were testing, which created a black hole. The Icarus, under Captain Vince Grant, attempted to rescue the SDF-3 when they came under attack from unknown hostile forces. Rick Hunter ordered the Icarus to leave the scene immediately, which it then did. The fate of the Hunters and the SDF-3 are still unknown, but they are presumed to have survived. At the end of The Shadow Chronicles film, the Ark Angel was dispatched to search for them.
