History Characters / SilentHill1

* ShrugOfGod: The "''Book of Lost Memories''" says that [[spoiler:Cybil's ultimate fate is left to the player's imaginations. Masahiro Ito, when asked about her fate on Twitter, says he remembers that she's dead. When asked about the statement in the ''Book'', he said "if you choose "good+" ending among them, she is not dead, maybe."]]

* NotInThisForYourRevolution: [[spoiler:In the Good and Good+ endings, when Kaufmann smashes his vial of [[AppliedPhlebotinum Aglaophotis]] on the Incubator's head. He doesn't care about [[PapaWolf Harry's quest]] to salvage his daughter. He just doesn't want to be "[[FirePurifies cleansed by fire]]."]]

* GeniusLoci: Assuming the perceived sapience of Silent Hill itself isn't a product of only Alessa's will, the God's powers could very well be partially responsible for it.

* EldritchAbomination: By far the biggest in the original game, with the possible exception of the final boss. Whereas the other monsters are all clearly based on something, the Mumbler is just, well, a ''thing'' with claws. Its massive nails jut out like railroad spikes, and a toothless, nondescript hole is more or less its only other feature. It can't be pinned directly to a person, an animal, or much of a "theme", because its anatomy is so minimal that it's just sort of an abstract, organic shape, or a rough idea given flesh.

* HumanoidAbomination: Unlike the PteroSoarer Air Screamers, these creatures are clearly more human-like in appearance except for the wings and their elongated heads, which are eternally covered in worms.

* PteroSoarer: They resemble a Pteranodon in design, but with longer humanoid legs and human-like torsos between the wings.

* PuffOfLogic: [[spoiler:Disintegrates into blood]] at the same time as the environment around you loses any sense of cohesion.

* AmbiguousGender: Despite the seemingly male name, it has a prominent pair of female breasts and and its dying wail when defeated sounds very distinctly feminine.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpQnqoq_oxM&list=PLOEAs04auvidhe4R9NX5BR1NCSbxqBDZx&index=18 one]], which gives of an immediate impression of shiftiness and hints that he just might know a lot more than he's letting on.

* TheCameo: The player might never realize it's her, but she's present in ''Silent Hill 3''. When Heather ascends the ladder as Brookhaven Hospital transitions into the Otherworld, the player will once again see Valtiel turning some valves [[spoiler:and the body of a female nurse suspended in mid-air in a suggestive-yet-tortured pose. Said nurse was revealed by the game's creators to be Lisa, eternally trapped in the Otherworld and doomed to constant suffering (note that only this particular nurse is wearing Lisa's red cardigan)]].

* ResignationsNotAccepted: Strongly suggested to have been her original fate. The VHS of her ends with her appearing to beg to be released from her duties as Alessa's caretaker, and we briefly see her angrily screaming at Kaufmann when he tries to stop her from walking away in the intro movie. It's not hard to infer that she threatened to spill the beans on his drug-running operation (or at least he [[HeKnowsTooMuch feared she might]]), so either he or someone else quietly disposed of her.[[note]]The canonicity of the above-mentioned comic is questionable, since little to nothing else in the comics is taken as canon by fans or by Konami[[/note]]

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Defeating them with the Emergency Hammer causes them to go down clutching their own face and thrashing around in agony for a long moment before they expire.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: They're muscular creatures wearing what seems to be a coat that will knock down Harry and try to climb on top of him while pinning him down in order to attack him.

* WaistcoatOfStyle: His iconic brown jacket.

* PleaseDontLeaveMe: She repeatedly begs Harry not to leave her alone in the hellish Otherworld hospital, making it clear that she's utterly terrified to be trapped there. [[spoiler: That's because the version Harry meets is constructed from Alessa's fond memories of her caretaker, to target Harry's paternal instincts and stop him from searching for Cheryl/Alessa. Once he does find them and her purpose is no longer valid, Lisa degenerates back into the undead revenant she already was]].

* NeverFoundTheBody: If she's been dead before Harry Mason showed up, there's no body left to show it. The huge blood splatter on the garage door at her house indicated she was killed, either by monsters or the Order wanting to keep her mouth shut, but there's blood and gore all over town even in the Fog World, so it's never explained.

* KnifeNut: They wield knives to attack Harry.

* KnifeNut: They wield small blades to slash at Harry with, which are also invisible.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Her followers and their mythology present Her as a benevolent being, one who performed miracles like the creation of linear time, niht and day, and the emotion of joy, as well as death to solve WhoWantsToLiveForever It is believed that Her rebirth will usher in a "Paradise" which various devotees like Dahlia and Claudia believe will have no pain, hunger, sickness, old age, greed, war, etc. From what we see, though, there is very little suggesting that this thing is in any way a kind and compassionate being, though all of Her manifestations admittedly were {{Imperfect Ritual}}s involving an unwilling vessel who was horribly mistreated by the Order.
