>>SILENT HILL 3<<
STORY AND CHARACTERS


>>PROLOGUE<<
As written in the game manual.
"Okay, I will. I love you too, dad."

Heather smiled to herself.
It was just a nice little chat on the phone.
Just another everyday occurrence in her tranquil life.
She was unaware that this tranquil world was about to be torn asunder.

I t happened suddenly, without warning, and seemingly without reason. The simple happiness she had known was gone.Her entire world was transformed into a grotesque and bizarre nightmare... She was caught in the middle.

The cheerful weekend bustle of the shopping mall was replaced by a deep, ominous silence. The only sounds now were the footsteps of unspeakable creatures, lurking in the darkness. What had happened? She needed to know. But there was no one left to tell her.

Heather was trapped alone in a deranged world, with nothing to do but escape. Not knowing where to turn, her only thought was of survival. She clutched her pistol tightly, ready to shoot anything that tried to attack...

"They've come to witness the Beginning. The rebirth of Paradise, despoiled by mankind".

Patient of Brookhaven Hospital
Information: Unknown
This random patient of the hospital is not Vincent, Leonard, or Stanley. He is a follower of Leonard's teachings inside the hospital. That's how he knows so much about Heather's prior ages and her relevance to the cult's beliefs. He knows that from her first incarnation she is 31 years old as Alessa, her second incarnation she'd be 24 as Cheryl. But he doesn't mention her true physical age of 17.

He raised her for 17 years until he finally succumbed to a demon summoned by the cult. Heather discovers this and vows revenge.
Confessional Booth Lady

Who is it?: (Controversial) Possible memory of Dahlia Gillespie

This strange lady seems to be asking God for forgiveness because of her "wicked act of revenge" and wants her daughter's soul delivered. She also begs forgiveness for the poor girl who's life she had taken.

This lady here is supposed to be Dahlia Gillespie before the final scene in SH1. In a way she is asking her own daughter for forgiveness of what she did 17 years back, of killing Cheryl to reunite Alessa's soul, then using her to both their demise.

Lady on the tape

Who is it? A cult member
A cult member who does not have the facts straight of the events of Silent Hill 1. The conversation shows how details in history get twisted over time. She seems to have been with the religion for a while.
