❚❚❚❚❚ ＩＣ．■ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: When it comes to strangers, Sharon isn't a big fan of contact she doesn't initiate herself (which isn't a thing that's likely to happen). The closer she gets with a person, the more likely she is to become physically affectionate. A sufficient amount of distress can force her to seek physical comfort in an acquaintance, especially if they've shown concern for her.
■ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Sharon isn't a fighter and has no training whatsoever. She's slim and not particularly muscular and has a preference for avoiding physical confrontation as much as possible. When pressed, she'll certainly throw a few punches but they'll be sloppy and ineffective against anyone with any combat knowledge. Fear and desperation may lead her to unconsciously using her abilities, whether through telekinesis or pyrokinesis. She's all bark, little bite.
She will run if given the chance. The only stipulation is if a loved one is involved and then she's all in.
■ RELATIONSHIPS: Haha. She doesn't even know how to make friends.
■ MENTAL INFORMATION: Delicate. As much as Sharon prefers to be seen as capable of handling anything, the reality is pretty far from it. She's gone through a lifetime of ordeals and they've taken their toll, leaving her full of distrust, anger, and fear. She can only handle so much mentally and stressful situations are likely to see her snap or lash out.
■ APPEARANCE: Perpetual dark circles accompany messy, bleached hair which is kept shoulder length. Her dark roots are visible, not too bothered with the upkeep of her hair color. She has a lazy style of dress, often in a pair of leggings and whatever shirt smells clean, no matter how crumpled. She likes baggy tops and layers and the color black, though it's not strange to see her in some bright top or jacket. She almost always pairs her outfit with a white leather vest that seems to have suffered some wear and tear. Also, expect boots. The more worn the better.
■ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Sharon has a plethora of subjects that will get under her skin, though the ones most likely to get an emotional response from her are: religious cults, God, fire, her powers, family, sexual abuse/assault, and child abuse. She may end the discussion, become angry, violent, or visibly anxious.
■ POWERS & ABILITIES:
- The movies merely hint upon the vast array of powers Alessa has, with "Dark" Alessa seemingly controlling the majority of them (largely due to Alessa's own physical and mental limitations after the burning). Thanks to their merge, Sharon has these exact powers albeit much weaker and often unconsciously activated. Alessa could toss people around like dolls and burn them alive with a glance but that's not Sharon. She's a sarcastic teenager with trust issues who has only recently had her soul completed. Most of her abilities will come into play when she's emotional and the stronger the emotion, the more powerful and wild her abilities may seem. If she ever wants to be as powerful as Alessa had been, she either needs to lose her humanity again or get a serious mentor.
▸ Precognition
- A passive ability that Sharon seems to only have access to when she sleeps. They're often vague and horrifying. She forgets most of them in the morning, though if she were to see a specific item or spot something memorable, it will trigger the memory (that she'll most likely write off because she's desperate for normal).
▸ Psychokinesis
- The film implies (& the script states) that the reason the ritual failed was due to Alessa breaking the chains that had held her, her powers suddenly spiking due to the intense pain and suffering she was going through. There was even a part of the movie that depicted Alessa, in front of all her classmates, causing a group of butterflies to dance in strange patterns, though it ended up cut from the final product.
This ability was likely the first to manifest, and, as such, her most powerful. The second movie seems to better show off just how powerful Alessa is, tossing people into store fronts with a single flick of her wrist as she brings about the Darkness.
This power will manifest in a variety of ways, primarily in stressful situations. For instance, if Sharon is startled, the glass nearby may shatter, or perhaps something will topple over.
▸ Pyrokinesis
- She isn't too chill around fire, having been burned alive in her past, but her darker self leaned into controlling it. In the films, it's used in a multitude of ways: a way to guide, to reveal hidden truths, and to turn cultists into melted husks. Like with her previous ability, it's something that needs to be honed to be controlled. And she won't be too keen on that.
▸ Reality Warping/World Shifting
- This is the meat and potatoes of Sharon's abilities, born from something she doesn't understand and never will. There are times she sees past the veil of our reality, to an otherworld. It's a strange, horrifying mirror of the world, empty and foggy until a siren sounds and it falls to rust and darkness. Most of the time, it's just under the surface and exists in flashes for her. It's the busy street emptied for a terrifying breath, filled instead with masses of flesh and screams that stop her heart, before it settles and the busy street is just a stupid busy street. To an outside observer, it might appear as if she's hallucinating but she's just seeing what others cannot—a place she can open up under the right conditions. This other world, whether it's fog or industrialized darkness, is dangerous, often peppered with horrific creatures that are drawn to light and noise and anything that indicates life. Most people that end up there don't ever leave.
Sharon has some minor control over the appearance of the other world in the film before her merge with Alessa. She brings the darkness past Silent Hill, to an outlying motel, and her ability continues on when she finally enters the town, summoning her guardian after getting grabbed in the insane asylum.
After the merge, Sharon is far more aware of this ability, even going so far as to consciously call upon her guardian after Claudia's monstrous form is revealed. Most monsters within this world come from her subconscious or of those trapped within and I personally do not believe she has an active part in their appearance with the exception of the Janitor (special case of revenge) or The Red Pyramid (her guardian creature who also works part time at the carnival working the merry go round).
▸ Misc Bullshit
She has existed as three separate entities all at once. The first time she split herself was after being burned alive, the trauma of the event igniting a rage and hate that took physical form. The second time resulted in Sharon, created specifically for whatever good Alessa thought she had could live outside of the pain and fear of Silent Hill. Whole, Sharon could likely do this again, but that seems incredibly unlikely regardless of what she encounters.
She can also supposedly give birth to a god. So. That's cool.
