Cosplayer Alisa Smotrova invites us into the evocative world of the acclaimed role-playing game Disco Elysium. She has stepped into the role of Lilienne Carter, a resilient fisherwoman who continues to navigate the hardships of life within the weathered port district of Revachol.
Disco Elysium captivated audiences with its uniquely surreal universe and a cast of deeply layered characters. It pulled back the curtain on the secrets of Revachol, accompanied by a haunting soundtrack that remains just as impactful six years after the game’s initial release.
Having completed the game multiple times, cosplayer Alisa Smotrova (known as Plo-tva Cosplay) wanted to pay tribute to the community. In a photoshoot captured by IraIra, the model embodies the stoic spirit of Lilienne Carter.
Lilienne is a mother of three residing in a small fishing village on the Martinaise coast. She sustains her family through a variety of labors: doing laundry for the locals, mending gear, setting fishing nets, and renting out her modest boat.
The character is defined by her independence and a toughened exterior, a woman who has seen the world for what it is. Her past is marked by tragedy: her alcoholic husband disappeared into the sea while intoxicated, leaving behind an empty boat. His body was not recovered until two weeks later.
Lilienne’s narrative arc underscores themes of maturity and the quiet acceptance of grief. Her story explores the necessity of moving forward after a devastating loss without letting one’s soul be completely consumed by the wreckage of the past.
