❚❚❚❚❚ 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. ▸ 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. |

CHARACTER INFO
Name: Sharon da Silva (aka: Alessa Gillespie)
Journal:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ungodlily
Age: 18
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.
Canon: Silent Hill Revelations
Canon Point: Directly after rescuing Vincent Cooper and Christopher da Silva, prior to leaving the town.
History: Sharon da Silva
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 storefronts 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 (a special case of revenge) or The Red Pyramid (her guardian creature who also works part-time at the carnival working the merry go round).

Why are you interested in this game? I really like the premise and I’d like to see how Sharon can grow and evolve in this kind of environment. She's a character that could use a journey to better herself.

Questionnaire:
1. What do they care deeply about? What kind of loyalties, commitments, moral codes, life philosophies, passions, callings, or spirituality and faith do they have? How do these tend to be expressed? Sharon truly cares about only a few things but those things she does care about mean everything, namely: family (adopted or otherwise) and personal freedom (and family trumps that). The rest of the world will always be secondary to those things. When it comes to something like a moral code, Sharon’s surprisingly sympathetic and often goes out of her way to help those in danger, even saving those who have wronged her. However, she can be vengeful and holds a grudge, and, depending upon the crime, that grudge can last a lifetime.
The only faith or spirituality Sharon possesses is faith in herself, in her father, and in her mother.
2. What kind of person could they become in the future? What are some developmental paths that they could take: best, worst, most likely? Sharon’s a caring person deep down and with a positive influence, along with assistance in overcoming her personal traumas, she could become a better, more compassionate person. It wouldn’t take more than a few good friends and influences for her to become more open, to let go of the hate and pain.
However, she could just as easily fall into the darker aspects of her personality, the parts of her that developed after years in Silent Hill’s Otherworld; things like vengeance and brutality and apathy to the pain of others. But, most likely, Sharon will grow out of her shell that she’s built up, become more caring while maintaining a certain distance from others, still dealing with her pain on her own.
3. How do they behave within a group? What role(s) do they take? Does this differ if they know and trust the group, versus finding themselves in a group of strangers? Why? As Alessa Gillespie, she grew up ostracized and bullied, constantly left out by both the children and the adults in her life. As Sharon da Silva, she grew up having to put as much distance between herself and others, having to lie about who she was and where she came from. She's not used to being involved with a group because she's never really had the option.
She’s not at her best in a group, too used to lone wolfing it, though that doesn’t mean she won’t put in the effort, she just won’t ever take on the role of a leader and would likely stick to observation unless she disagreed. In a group of those she trusts, on the other hand, Sharon would end up being much more vocal and willing to bring ideas to the table.
4. What do they need and want out of relationships, and how do they go about getting it? The only thing Sharon truly needs is the reciprocation of her love, with a preference for familial love over any other. Because of this, she's fiercely loyal to those she loves and is willing to sacrifice everything to protect them. She’s physically affectionate with those she loves and trust and that’s often how she shows her love, whether it’s a hug or a kiss on the cheek or just looping her arm around theirs.
5. How do they understand the world–what kind of worldview and thought processes do they have? Why? Sharon's understanding and view of the world is dark and deeply troubled. She has little trust in others and though she desires things like companionship, she often falls back on the tried and true safety of distance. Between Alessa's traumas prior to her burning (ostracization, belittlement, abuse) to Sharon's experiences having to spend her teenage life with only her father as a friend and the necessity of distance, it's no wonder she doesn't have a positive view of the world or the people that inhabit it.
6. How much do they rely on their minds and intellect, versus other approaches like relying on instinct, intuition, faith, and spirituality, or emotions? As much as Sharon would like to think she's ruled by her mind and things like logic, Sharon is wholly dominated by her emotions, gut instincts, and intuition. She works hard not to react emotionally, to think things through, but even when she does, it eventually overwhelms her.
For example, several times throughout the second film, Sharon witnesses absolute horrors as she just goes about her day, ranging everything from a homeless man with no face to a bunch of kids at a birthday party in the mall turn into monstrous creatures. She fights through these hallucinations until she's finally caught completely off guard.
Her gut instinct and intuition work in tandem and she's keen on trusting them. She's immediately wary of Douglas Cartland and only sees him once more before she alerts her dad. Though, even those can be ignored when she's under a great deal of emotional turmoil. She'd initially been wary of Vincent but after being physically attacked and told her life is a lie, she easily fell for his kindness and lies (though it helped immensely that Vincent wasn't a bad person, just misguided and manipulated). And then there's her interaction with Leonard, Vincent's grandfather. It was evident she mistrusted him, her gun remaining aimed at him the whole time in spite of the fact he was both blind and chained to the wall, aware enough he was dangerous even though she needed his help.
7. What is something others might find intolerable about them? Sharon can be rather blunt and forward and can say things without fully thinking them through. This often means she can come off as rude without truly meaning to.
