Lise is a young female Novo Homonid or Novonid, a member of an artificial humanoid species created on Planet Varada for slave labor. Novonids originally were created as farm laborers: to harvest pomma, the staple grain on Varada. Novonids are genetically engineered with green, chlorophyl-rich skin to derive nourishment from sunshine; and this made them perfect for working in the fields. Now, as their population increases the Homo Sapiens inhabitants of Varada are finding Novonids useful as low- and no-wage labor in the cities.
