Shinozaki Rika

Lisbeth (リズベット) is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in «Sword Art Online», where she plays as a blacksmith. She is Asuna's best friend. Her real name is Shinozaki Rika (篠崎里香). Her «ALfheim Online» avatar is a Leprechaun blacksmith.

Sword Art Online
Her real hair color is brown in the real world and used to be of the same colour in the first days of SAO, but was later customized to fluffy pink with a white hairpin to keep her bangs out of her eyes. Her eyes are dark pink. Her blacksmith uniform looks more like the uniform of a waitress: a dark red top with puffed sleeves and a flared skirt of the same colour as well as a pure white apron over that and a red ribbon atop her chest.

Her three sizes are 86, 64, 85

ALfheim Online
Lisbeth's avatar in ALO is similar to her appearance in SAO, she has pink hair and uses a red and white dress. The only difference is that she has pointy ears, and her wings appear to be mechanical as she chose the Leprechaun race.

Personality
Lisbeth is a very friendly person that can get along with just about everyone she meets. She is hardworking and takes great pride in her abilities as a blacksmith. She will become very defensive and aggressive if someone were to challenge her pride as a blacksmith much like Kirito did after accidentally breaking the best sword she had created. She, also similar to Sinon, has a bad temper and can get somewhat violent, such as when she grabbed Kirito by the collar after he broke one of her best swords.

Lisbeth is very teasing as well, almost always teasing Asuna about her relationship with Kirito despite having feelings for him herself. She cares for Asuna very much, and despite having a chance to tell Kirito how she feels (Asuna and Kirito were not in a relationship at that time) she backed off because she knew that Asuna already had feelings for Kirito, before she met him. She does not hold anything against Asuna, despite being depressed that her friend and Kirito had formed a strong relationship.

Warmth of the Heart (Aincrad 48th Floor, June 2024)
Introduced as a self-made blacksmith, Lisbeth built her business from the ground up in Aincrad. She is first seen discussing romance with Asuna at her shop.



The next day, Kirito visited her shop in order to custom make a sword similar to his current one, the «Elucidator». However, he ended up breaking her best sword while testing the sword's durability. She then went on a quest with Kirito in order to acquire a Crystallite Ingot. According to Kirito, in order to obtain the Crystallite Ingot, they must get it from a dragon that eats crystals.



She became Kirito's personal blacksmith after she created «Dark Repulser» for him. She is in love with Kirito, but she stepped aside because Asuna was also in love with him and felt that she was a better companion to Kirito than herself. However after the game being cleared has been announced she knows it is Kirito who did it and at the top of her lungs among all the cheers for the game being cleared she shouts that she loves Kirito and that she swears she will see him again (which after the ALfheim Online incident she does, going to school with him and Asuna).

Sound of Water, Sound of Hammer
Lisbeth helps Kirito reinforce his +39 Dark Repulser to +40 and was also entrusted to upgrade his +39 «Elucidator» to +40 as well.

Fairy Dance Arc
After the ALO incident she makes a pact with Silica that they will give Kirito and Asuna one month together without interfering before they make their individual moves on him. However, after seeing how close Asuna has gotten with Kirito (made him lunch at the time), they quickly regretted it. She also plays as a Leprechaun Blacksmith in ALO along with Kirito, Asuna, and the company.

Phantom Bullet Arc
Lisbeth and her friends gathered on the night of December 14, 2025 at Asuna's rented house in the new «Yggdrasil City » to watch the «Bullet of Bullets» tournament in which Kirito was participating. She later joins Kirito and the gang at the Agil's shop to meet Shino, striking up a conversation about the weapons in GGO that can be used or created.

Caliber
After aiding Kirito in obtaining Excaliber, Lisbeth is given Mjölnir, Thor's hammer, by Klein, under the condition that she doesn't reduce it to components.

Mother's Rosario
She appears at the beginning of the story to ask Asuna if she had ever heard of Zekken.
