History Characters / SilentHillShatteredMemories

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:While Cheryl's perception makes her out to be an inhuman monster, it's possible to get a playthrough where she's horrible even in reality, and on a high morality route, her and Harry's divorce can be put down to her faults rather than his, if the player chooses correctly. In the "Wicked and Weak" endings, she slaps Harry around right in front of Cheryl.]]

* PaletteSwap: While mostly cosmetic, their appearance will change depending on which route the player's morale is leaning more towards. It should be noted that the different traits aren't exclusive, and Raw Shocks can have different traits mixed together by the final act. Also, their appearance isn't a certainty on which ending the player will get;
** If the player focuses on keeping Harry en route to finding his daughter (Love Lost), the Raw Shocks will become more '''Abstract''', with cross-shaped heads and sliced bodies whose disk-like parts float in the air while still connected to the main creature;
** If Harry focuses too much on drinks and drugs (Drunk Dad), they'll become '''Diseased''', with bloated bodies and disfigured appendages as if they're overrun with horrific tumors;
** If Harry focuses on sex and is made to be a pervert (Sleaze and Sirens), they'll turn '''Feminine''', looking like disfigured female forms with exaggerated breasts and noticeable buttocks and lips, with horrific stitches on their backs like a corset's, and feet deformed to look like high heels. They'll also start hugging and caressing Harry more suggestively;

* IWasQuiteALooker: [[spoiler:The years of having to be a single mother, not to mention widow, and dealing with a rebellious, possibly even delusional, daughter who blames her for everything have not been kind to her. It turn out to be a subversion, as she appears this way because that is how Cheryl sees her. When the real Dahlia shows up after Cheryl's therapy session, she looks like any other mother her age.]]

* AbusiveParents [[spoiler: While Cheryl's perception makes her out to be an inhuman monster, it's possible to get a playthrough where she's horrible even in reality, and on a high morality route, her and Harry's divorce can be put down to her faults rather than his, if the player chooses correctly. In the "Wicked and Weak" endings, she slaps Harry around right in front of Cheryl.]]

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:Is she someone Cheryl met at one point in her life, or is she entirely a construct of her imagination like Harry is? Given that there's no sign of Cybil in the "Sleaze and Sirens" ending proper, there's no telling what the case is with her, especially given that WordOfGod says the game is what the players make of it.]]

* IWasQuiteALooker: [[spoiler:The years of having to be a single mother, not to mention widow, and dealing with a rebellious, possibly even delusional, daughter who blames her for everything have not been kind to her. Subverted, as she appears this way because this is how Cheryl sees her. In the "good" ending, Dahlia looks like any other mother her age.]]

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Has a Hispanic last name and noticeably tanned skin. WordOfGod is that she's Cuban-American.

* LadyInRed: One of her possible designs involves a long red dress, and is often seen if Harry is being characterized as a womanizer (ie the player is following the "Sleaze and Sirens" route).

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: Though he's never shown abusing Cheryl directly, the "Drunk Dad" and "Sleazes and Sirens" endings make him out to be neglectful at the very best. In the "Wicked and Weak" endings, he's the one being abused by Dahlia, but the ending's title, and the fact that it can only be achieved on a low morality playthrough, suggest he's no better than her.]]

* DaddysGirl: As she herself happily exclaims in the game's opening cutscene, she loves her daddy. So much so that she's created a false memory of him.

* BullyMagnet: She was harassed ''repeatedly'' in high school, often the victim of hazing from her classmates who took pictures of her in the shower, drugged her and made her strip during a party in the woods, and caught her making out with a boy she liked and ridiculed her over it.

* StickyFingers: A consistent trait, something she actually did do in her later years was become a shoplifter at Toluca Mall, even bragging about it through personal notes. It culminated with a security guard that tried to stop her getting stabbed by her with a pocket knife. How violent she was depends on the player's progress through the plot.

* PromotedToLoveInterest: The [[VideoGame/SilentHill original Dahlia]] was a straightforward antagonist to Harry. Thanks to the AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul in ''Shattered Memories'' [[spoiler:that entirely removes Harry's late wife Jodie, as well as excising all references to Cheryl being adopted, her birth mother]] Dahlia becomes his love interest in this re-imagining.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: {{Invoked}}. This is what his character could be said to be ''built upon'', as in-game decisions can lead to four different epilogues that portray him in four different ways that don't match one another.

* ChickMagnet: Played for realism in the "Sleaze and Sirens" ending, [[spoiler:where Harry was a lecherous womanizer who cheated on his wife repeatedly, which caused the break in their marriage]].
