Salisha

Salisha is the het ship between Simon Bellamy and Alisha Daniels from the Misfits fandom.

Canon
Simon and Alisha first met doing Community Service alongside Curtis, Kelly and Nathan. Initially, the two didn't have the best start. Alisha, at the time, was still a mean, spoiled, self-obsessed girl who used her looks and sexuality to get what she wanted, and Simon was a shy and awkward outcast. The first day of their community service, a strange storm gave the gang powers and changed their lives forever. Simon had the power to turn invisible, and Alisha had the power to make others go into a sexual frenzy via touch. Alisha discovered her power when she was touched by Curtis, and even further when she touched Simon.

Throughout Season 1, Alisha either ignored or didn't pay attention to Simon, dating Curtis at the time. The first time their relationship was teased was when the group are told to supervise a day out visit for patients from a psychiatric ward. One patient in particular, Lucy (Simon's former "girlfriend" from the psychiatric unit who had the power to shapeshift), envied him for his new group of friends, and tricked him into thinking Alisha gave him a blowjob. Later, Simon went to go see Alisha to ask her out, but the REAL Alisha (who didn't initiate anything with Simon) harshly turned him down and called him a prick for "wanking over her", thinking that's what Simon meant when he told her he'd been thinking about her. Simon was hurt and confused by her reaction, but found out what was going on when everyone gathered together and realized someone was messing with them.

Alisha was never happy with her power and it only made her feel isolated and depressed. She would feel uncomfortable and scared that men would force themselves onto her, and out of everyone in the group, wished for her power to go away. Alisha's development as a character is highlighted more in Season 2, when over the coming days she and her friends are visited by a mysterious man in a mask, who is seemingly watching out for them. One night at an underground rave, the group, along with Nathan's half-brother Jamie and barmaid Lily, are given drugs which inadvertently reverse their powers; after knocking into Curtis (and several other party-goers), Alisha receives dirty looks and comments of repulsion upon touching them until she grows distressed and leaves the club. The next day, the group break into the home of what they believe to be the man in the masks's hideout, only to learn that the flat belongs to someone else. Later, while walking home, Alisha is mugged in a block of flats and is rescued seconds later by the mysterious man. He helps her up using his bare hands, and Alisha discovers that he is immune to her power. Curious and interested now more than ever on how he's able to touch her, Alisha tries to get more information about the man from Simon, and gets defensive when he asks why she's interested. The next day, Alisha decided to provoke a passerby and deliberately lands herself in trouble so the man in the mask can come and save her. She fell unconscious after falling down a flight of stairs, and woke up in the man in the mask's REAL hideout. She explored his house and saw pictures of her and her friends on the wall, and then heard noise coming from the shower. Approaching carefully, she was shocked when the man in the mask revealed himself to be Simon.

Confused and still very shocked, Alisha asked: “Since when did you start jumping off buildings and saving people?!” to which "Simon" responded with: “Ever since I travelled back from the future.” revealing that he was indeed Simon, but from the future. He explains to Alisha that he was here to make sure certain events carried out accordingly, whilst also confessing that they are in a relationship in the future. Alisha asked how that ever happened, and Future!Simon smiled and said that she fell in love with him.

Alisha grew fond of Future!Simon and had genuine feelings for him. This caused her and Curtis' relationship to slowly deteriorate as they both fell in love with different people. Curtis with Nikki, and Alisha with Simon.

The romance between Simon and Alisha is tragic, as the reason why Future!Simon went back in time in the first place was so he could save Alisha from dying. When he accomplished his goal, Future!Simon told a distraught Alisha to burn his body so his past self wouldn't find out the man in the mask is him. Alisha objected at first, but carried out with his request after he made her promise.

Later, during another day of community service, Alisha politely asks if she can sit next to Simon and tries to talk to him. Simon gets confused and asks why she's being so nice to him, and Alisha says she can be nice sometimes, apologizing if she was a ever a bitch to him. Simon is quiet before he tells her: “I've never thought you were a bitch. Sometimes, I think it's difficult for beautiful girls. People don't see past their looks.”

Season 2 is the season where Simon and Alisha finally get together. At the beginning, Alisha is jealous of the new girl Simon has a crush on, Jessica, and (alongside Nathan who believes she killed him) suspects she's dangerous. When Jessica and Simon go on a date, Nathan and Alisha spy on them. Jessica invites Simon to a party she's hosting at community service, and he accepts. Jessica kisses Simon and leaves. As he's walking home, he notices Alisha and Nathan and asks if they were spying on him. Nathan tries to warn Simon, but Simon ignores him and tells him to leave Jessica alone.

At the party, it's revealed the person that killed Nathan was not Jessica, but instead her father. When Jessica's father catches Simon and Jessica having sex, he tries to kill Simon but is knocked out by Alisha. Afterwards, Simon and Jessica break up.

Simon soon discovers how his future self was the man behind the mask by following Alisha to his hideout. She tells him everything and by the time season 3 rolls around, the two are dating.
