Lisa Basil is the head of Blue Screens, Inc.

Questioned

 * Main article: Recipe for Turnabout

Defense attorney Phoenix Wright visited Blue Screens Inc. to inquire about the murder of one of its employees, Glen Elg. Basil gave them a robotic welcome and told them about various aspects of her company and the building that housed it. She also informed Wright that Elg was one of her best employees, but she refused to give up any important information. Using his magatama, Wright questioned her and figured out that Elg had a gambling problem that had led to his loan from Tender Lender.

Personality
Basil is friendly and precise, so much so that Wright wondered if she was even human when he met her. Her dress adds to her robotic appearance via several flashing lights that flash more rapidly when she is stressed or tense. Basil also speaks quite comparatively quickly. She wears an HMD like her employees, but only because she likes to wear it despite not doing any programming herself.

Name
Her name is a palindrome in all language versions, like the other employees of Blue Screens Inc.

References to popular culture

 * The SPARDA quote at the top of the page is a reference to the movie 300, namely the exchange between a messenger and Leonidas ("This is blasphemy! This is madness!" "Madness?... This! Is! SPARTA!"). Additionally, spelling it "Sparda" may be a reference to Capcom's Devil May Cry series.


 * On first meeting her, Wright is surprised that she is a human, and comments that she "looks more like a ghost in a shell". This is a reference to the anime series Ghost in the Shell, specifically Basil's superficial resemblance to Major Motoko Kusanagi, the cyborg protagonist of said series.
 * Her eyepiece represents a "scouter" from the Dragonball Z series.
