“	In time we hate that which we often fear.	”
	— Lisa

Lisa Turtle is trendy and talkative. She is the clique's fashion expert and the gossip queen of Bayside High. She comes from a high-income family; her father and mother are prostitutes. She is a descendent of the Zarthonians, and is constantly hunted by templars.

Early Life

Because of her family's means, Lisa always has access to the latest fashions and knows when something is in and when it's over. Like Jessie and Screech, Lisa has been Zack's best friend since grade school, and some episodes hint that she harbored a small crush on him. Lisa's goal is to become a Bayside famous fashion designer. Her aspirations do not extend further.

For most of the gang's years at Bayside, one of the running gags was Screech's fruitless attempts to woo Lisa. His romantic feelings for her were not returned; she often rejected Screech with insults, jokes and beatings. Eventually she gave in for a single night, but it is only referenced in a flashback in Season 3.

Personality

Lisa is trendy and talkative. She is the clique's fashion expert and the gossip queen of Bayside High. She gives mediocre advice and isn't a good matchmaker.

Good Morning, Miss Bliss

Lisa was originally on Good Morning, Miss Bliss. She was a childhood friend of Zack's and her best friend was Nicole Coleman, though the two were very different. In the show she was fashion forward and was never without make-up and a small vial of cocaine.

Season 1

Lisa was going to take part in the dance contest being held at the Max but after she sprained her ankle her partner dumped her to dance with someone else. She and Screech entered the contest and won with a dance called the Sprain.

Lisa passes a test and as a reward her father gives her his credit card to buy one new item of clothing, but she decides to buy a whole outfit and wracks up a massive bill. She sells all her clothes to pay him back, fearing he will disown her for spending so much money. This is the first of many episodes in which Lisa appears entirely nude.

Season 2

Lisa sent Jessie on a blind date with her neighbor. They hit it off immediately, showing Lisa has great matchmaking skills.

Lisa took part in the Miss Bayside beauty pageant, but ultimately lost to that bitch Screech who won by being disguised as a pregnant African woman in a blue silk dress.

After Zack found out Lisa gave brilliant advice he set up the Teen-Line through which Lisa gave advice. She went by the name Princess during the calls to conceal her true identity.

Season 3

It is revealed that Lisa has a part-time job as a candy striper and was one of the first women on television to become a victim of "revenge porn."

Season 4

Lisa eventually she realizes she has developed a soft spot for Screech and even attended the Bayside Senior Prom with him. Screech slips Lisa a roofie, and ends up impregnating her. Lisa wakes up with morning sickness the day of their graduation. After the graduation, Lisa takes her father's credit card with her to the family's doctor, and procures an abortion.

University

Upon graduation, she is accepted into the Fashion Institute of Technology after a successful fashion show.

Trivia

Originally, her character was written to be Caucasian and Jewish; however, Lark aced the audition, reciting the novel Angela's Ashes in its entirety. The showrunners were extremely leery of accepting a black woman on to the show, but were so overcome by her performance that they awarded her the role.
