Shimizu Arisa is the spirited, spunky plumber who mysteriously appeared for unknown reasons at Cafe Mew Mew when Kokoro first began back in 2004. Every day, this 15-year old wild child attempts to create fun and parties at the cafe, despite how bizarre her ideas may turn out to be. She tends to be happy-go-lucky most of the time, making sure not to show any sign of sadness, and lets nothing get her down. Unless of course, someone gets their hands on her Kyr plushie; then they'll see the rage.

History
Before Kokoro
First Years
She was born to Shimizu Hiroshi and Shimizu Sana in the year 2013. They were pretty much a happy family for some time, until Arisa turned three years old, and Hiroshi had left his wife and daughter to live on their own, while he went on to form another family. But that didn't end the lives of Sana and Arisa. They continued to live in Tokyo happily on their own, letting nothing, not the people that judged them nor the fact that they had barely any money, get them down. The only outsiders that they had really spoken to were a mother and daughter that had taken care of them. Of course, it wasn't until many years later when Arisa would learn that these two were actually Emily Cohen and Sarah Cohen, her half-sister. But that's another story to tell later.
Anyway, Sana and Arisa were quite the cheerful bunch and every day for them was an adventure. Both were pretty sure that they could live happily like that forever. Then again, neither of them had predicted the moment of the accident that would lead to the death of Sana.
Living As An Orphan
At age 6, without her mother nor her father, Arisa really didn't have anybody. Emily and Sarah seemed to have disappeared, which meant Arisa had no choice but to go to an orphanage. However, she was never quite like the other children, therefore she didn't really get along with them. In most typical histories of orphans, you would hear that they were picked on as children, leaving them to be all alone with neither friends nor family. But as previously said, Arisa was not like other children. In fact, it was she that picked on and teased the other children, but despite that she only did this to bring some fun and enjoyment to the orphanage, the other orphans didn't enjoy it so much. And for that, less than a year later, Arisa escaped the orphanage and went off to live on the streets on her own.
Somehow, Arisa managed to survive several years on the streets despite being just a child. However, due to the magic powers she had no knowledge of, she ended up in year 2002. Here, she met with a friendly old man by the name of Joe Pushkaboomda who owned his very own plumbing company. He was extremely kind and felt terrible that a girl her age had no money and no shelter to live under, so he gave her a room in the plumbing building to live in. Despite that he let her stay there for no charge at all, Arisa needed some excitement in her life and chose to work as a plumber full-time, which Joe had no choice but to let her do so.
Despite Arisa's attempt to make life as happy as possible, tragedy never did seem to end for her. A year after meeting Joe, he passed away of old age, thus Arisa lost yet another important person in her life. Still, he did not entirely leave her to go back to living on her own, for in his will, he had left her all the money he had, including the plumbing business, which meant she was now in charge, despite her being only 12 years old.
A Sudden Change In Life
Even though she really had no family left, Arisa's spirit was still not destroyed. She always remembered how her mother raised her, knowing that life was a pathway that would always lead to a rainbow. So she knew that even though things were tough on her now, she'd eventually had a good life with wonderful people beside her.
However, things were once again going out of proportion when Arisa's unknown magic went to work again, sending her back to where she was actually supposed to be: the year 2025. Arisa had no knowledge of the time switch, so when she attempted to enter what she had known to be her plumbing business, but was now said to be a secret government base of some sort, which led her into being chased by the police. As she ran and ran, she attempted to hide in the tree, while they tried looking for her on a false trail, but due to her luck, she ended up slipping and fell on top of a stranger below.
It was here that she met Shirogane Kyr. They seemed to have sort of gotten along, and things ended up leading to the point where Arisa was injected with the DNA of the Japanese Bobtail, thus turning her into a mew. She hadn't even the slightest clue what a mew was, but was excited, because she felt like a "supergirl" of some sort. She left Cafe Mew Mew that day, believing she'd see Kyr again, but her magic went back to work, and then she was back in the year 2004.
Arisa waltzed around Tokyo enjoying the feeling of having her new powers when suddenly one day, she came across a group of interesting people which included a newlywed teen couple and many young girls with powers such as hers. Finding much interest in these new people, she decided to stick around with these people a bit more; these people that eventually became her family.

Lovelife
Shirogane Kyr
Kyr is really the only true love of Arisa's life. Before he came along, she wasn't really into the whole "falling in love" deal, believing that it was real, but it wasn't something that was for her. However, despite that they didn't get along so well when they had first met, eventually the two fell in love. Still, that wasn't exactly their happy ending. Because of Kyr's complicated past and feelings, he had the tendency to run away from Kokoro often, which always led to a broken-hearted Arisa. But the drama these two faced didn't seem to ever be enough to truly tear them apart. Although there was a period of time where they had broken up, the two are back together at this time, and while they do need to spend more time together, they are engaged and will probably still be able to last quite a long time.
Bob Pushkaboomda
It's true that Arisa never actually fell in love with her best friend, but there was a point in time, where she and Bob were meant to stay together. Because Arisa never felt like she could ever have an acutal romantic relationship, she told Bob that in the future, they'd end up getting married, since they were best friends and would be together forever anyway. Bob was, of course, already in love with her, so he really didn't mind the idea. However, after she met Kyr, that idea was no longer likely, leaving Bob to never even get the chance to tell his best friend how he felt about her.
