Lisa Lavender



"Oh, good. Lisa Lavender. She's responsible for my first time to be seen on TV. I wasn't that important, and I was only a regular person just back then, but now that I'm doing a lot of heroic actions, Lisa's now going to interview me on TV while I was saving the world and all that crap at the same time."

--Su Ji-Hoon, My First TV Appearance

Lisa Lavender is a news reporter or anchorwoman for the Vale News Network, seen in a RWBY episode, "Ruby Rose."

Lisa is seen on a screen aboard the airship bringing new students to Beacon Academy. She reports on the Faunus Civil Rights Protest and how it was disrupted by the White Fang. However, her report was cut short when Glynda Goodwitch took control of the screen to welcome the new students. In another RWBY episode, "Beginning of the End," Lisa is seen reporting on Yang's attack on Mercury during the Vytal Festival Tournament. Lisa is seen once again in another RWBY episode, "Of Runaways and Stowaways," where she reports that all attempts by authorities to capture Adam Taurus have been met with fierce resistance.

Lisa is heard but not seen in "Cat Burglar," the second episode of RWBY Chibi, reporting on a spate of robberies by a mysterious cat burglar.

So far she is the sole member of the Vale News Network to have been shown on television, though Cyril Ian is also heard.

Her last name, "Lavender," is the name of a light tone of purple, which is also the color of her hair. She was shown only as a 2D image in Volume 1 (one)-3 (three) of RWBY but gained a full 3D model in Volume 4 (four) of RWBY. She is voiced by Jen Brown (English), who also voiced Pyrrha Nikos, and voiced by Arisa Sakuraba (Japanese).
