About
Heather Mason (also known as Cheryl Mason and Alessa Gillespie reincarnated) is the protagonist in the Konami video game, Silent Hill 3. She is the first female primary character in the Silent Hill series. In early promotions, she was given the name "Heather Morris," the name of her voice actress.
Heather and her adoptive father, Harry in the good ending of Silent HillHeather's real name is Cheryl Mason, the adopted daughter of the writer Harry Mason, who survived the events of the first Silent Hill game. When Harry escaped Silent Hill, Alessa/the Incubator came back as an apparition and presented him with a newborn baby, which is both Cheryl, and Alessa herself, restored to one body again. Harry left Silent Hill with the baby and moved to Portland, however, they were attacked by a cult member there and Harry killed him in self-defense.
In an attempt to throw the cult off - should they come and look for both him and the child - he renamed her Heather, dyed her hair blonde and relocated to another city. Harry eventually settled in the Daisy Villa Apartments with Heather. It is also noted Heather did not associate or acquaint herself with her neighbors (according to Douglas Cartland's notebook.)
On one of Heather's birthdays, Harry gave Heather a pendant with a red jewel inside and told her to take good care of it and to never take it off; the reason being that the red jewel is crystallized aglaophotis which can expel demons and if the Order had ever attempted to impregnate Heather again, she could survive by swallowing the aglaophotis and expelling the new god.
editPersonality Official sources describe Heather as a "normal, carefree girl who loves to shop". When it comes to her personality traits within the game itself, one very obvious trait of Heather is that she is moody and loses her temper quite easily at things that frustrate her; these are considered normal traits for a teenager. Heather can also be very sarcastic and humorous (for example, her "joke" to Douglas in the normal ending). Because of her sarcastic streak, she adapts rather remarkably to the disturbing spectacles she comes across on her journey. She even specifically states in the game that this nightmare has numbed her. Her bravery and nonchalant reaction to various creatures and horrors late in the game, forged by her resolve later all point to a rather hot headed temperament in comparison to the other protagonists in the Silent Hill series.
Heather has a great love for her father since he is the only one Heather ever cared for and it is no surprise she would jump to Harry’s defense when Vincent criticized him. When Harry dies, she is completely distraught, and begins to turn to Douglas Cartland as a father surrogate, since she feels that he is the only one she can trust, in contrast to Vincent and Claudia Wolf. They develop a father-daughter bond on account of their losses (Heather's father and Douglas' son, as he confesses later on). Douglas even comes to compare her to his dead son, to which Heather (visibly moved) replies “Well, maybe if you’d compared me to your daughter...”. Their bond grows on their way to Silent Hill and later on after she finds an injured Douglas at the Lakeside Amusement Park.
Heather starts the game out with a switchblade as her starting weapon, which when inspected Heather comments that she "likes to carry it around for some reason." She also owns a stun gun, a gift from her "worriwart dad". In the subway, an article on the paranormal can be read on the ground. When Heather inspects it, she states that she used to love reading the said publication and "spooky" stories for fun, implying a fascination with the paranormal. She also seems vaguely interested in literature - she references William Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe, and can quote Macbeth . At one point in the game, Heather will refuse to pick up a pack of cigarettes, saying that she "quit for good."
At the beginning of the game, if the player examines the mirror in the mall bathroom, Heather mentions that she dislikes mirrors as she feels her reflection is some sort of false image. Heather's mild eisoptrophobia (fear of mirrors) is emphasized by the fact that the mirror in her bedroom is covered and she doesn't have a mirror in her bathroom at home. The game's infamous scene in the mirror room at Brookhaven Hospital is Heather's fear becoming a reality (if Heather remains in the storeroom too long she will lose health and eventually die.)
As the game progresses, it is implied that Alessa's original personality traits and memories surface in Heather.
Heather is confused as to why Douglas knows her name.One day, while running an errand for her adoptive father at the Central Square Shopping Center, Heather accidentally falls asleep and dreams about Silent Hill. She finds herself wandering through the nightmare version of Lakeside Amusement Park. And while she is walking along tracks she is run over by a roller coaster. When she awakens from the nightmare, she exits the burger joint and calls her father letting him know that she is on her way home. However, while Heather is about to leave the mall, a man named Douglas Cartland attempts to talk to her about her "birth." Heather, thinking Douglas as a stalker, walks away from him and exits the shopping mall through a bathroom window to avoid confrontation with Douglas. However, the alley past the window is blocked and she is forced to enter the shopping mall again through the employee's area. Heather comes across a monster and manages to kill it with a handgun, shaken by this since she knows that monsters don't exist.
Heather questions to herself if she is dreaming.As Heather wanders through the monster infested mall, she encounters a barefoot woman dressed in all black, with flowing white hair who reveals herself as Claudia Wolf. Claudia tells her about a paradise created by God and Heather's "true" self. Heather is confused and comes down with a serious migraine, as if she was trying to remember something from long ago as Claudia departs. While descending an elevator, Heather soon plunges into the Otherworld shopping mall. She tries to convince herself that everything is just a dream. By defeating the Split Worm in the core of the mall, the mall changes back to normal. Heather decides to use the subway to get home, but as she walks through the mall, she meets Douglas again. Heather accuses Douglas of being on Claudia's side, but he tells her that he was only hired to find her and that he has no idea what is happening. Heather accepts Douglas's words, and faintly remembers that she forgot something important. She shakes off a strange feeling and tells Douglas she is heading home.
After exploring the subway, a subway train, an underground passageway, sewers, and a construction site, Heather finds a way into the Hilltop Center. While inspecting a bathtub, Heather suddenly enters the nightmare world once again and goes unconscious. Just before coming to, Heather hears her father's voice in her mind. After the transition, Heather kicks the bathtub in frustration and yells, "Did Claudia do this too!?". Heather soon encounters a man named Vincent, who is also a member of the same cult as Claudia, but has different views on where the cult should go. Vincent confirms that Heather has a forgotten past and calls Heather's father a "sneaky guy" and Heather yells, "Don't talk about my dad like that!" at Vincent. Before leaving, Heather voices her disbelief about Vincent not being on Claudia's side.
Heather sobbing heavily on her father's lap.Heather eventually finds a way out of the Hilltop Center and upon entering her apartment, she discovers her father brutally murdered, his lifeless body slumped in a chair. Heather, shocked and speechless, rests on her father's lap and sobs heavily. Once she regains her emotions, Heather follows a blood trail to the apartment's rooftop where Claudia is there waiting for her. Heather demands an answer from Claudia as to why she killed him, and Claudia answers revenge for seventeen years and to fill Heather's heart with hatred. Claudia locks Heather on the apartment rooftop and after a boss battle, Heather returns to her apartment where Douglas is waiting for her. Despite Douglas' apologies, Heather yells at Douglas furiously and blames everything that has happened on him. Once Heather is settled down, Douglas helps her move Harry's body into his room, covering him with a white sheet and lilies. Heather decides to find Claudia and kill her in revenge, even though Douglas doesn't agree. Douglas offers to drive her to Silent Hill since he is also responsible for Heather's loss, and she eventually agrees. Heather sighs heavily, and pays her final respects to her father before departing.
Heather struggling with Harry's death.Douglas gives Heather a map of Silent Hill and a notebook that her father was holding. Upon reading the notebook, Heather learns that her father wrote it in order to tell her the truth about what happened seventeen years ago. On the car ride to Silent Hill, Heather sits silently in the passenger seat while Douglas tries to make conversation with her. Heather, with the notebook in her lap, tells Douglas about Alessa Gillespie, Dahlia Gillespie's failed attempt at birthing God using her own daughter, and her own birth. Heather then takes a moment to tell her father that she never had a chance to tell him about the happiness that he gave her. In Silent Hill at Jack's Inn, Douglas tells Heather to meet him once she explores Brookhaven Hospital.
While searching the hospital, Heather is phoned by Leonard Wolf, Claudia's father, resentful of his own daughter and willing to help Heather stop her. However, upon the two meeting, Leonard becomes hostile to Heather when he realizes she is not a member of the Order. Heather kills Leonard and takes the Seal of Metatron with her. Upon returning to Jack's Inn, she meets Vincent once more, who tells her to go look for Douglas at the Lakeside Amusement Park. As she explores it, Heather re-lives her initial nightmare, only this time she jumps off the tracks in time to avoid the incoming roller coaster. She then finds Douglas wounded from a confrontation with Claudia. Having bonded with him, Heather tells him to hang in there as she goes off to look for Claudia.
Heather expressing her anger at Claudia.In the amusement park's carousel, Heather is confronted by the Memory of Alessa, who attacks her with various weapons in an attempt to stop the birth of God. Heather beats her and she vanishes, making her way to the chapel. In the chapel, Heather meets Claudia and Vincent once more. Vincent urges her to kill Claudia, whereupon Claudia stabs him twice, killing him, telling Heather that the Seal of Metatron will not prevent the birth of God. Heather ingests the aglaophotis inside her pendant, which promptly makes her vomit out the unborn God fetus; however, Claudia ingests it and gives birth to it, which also brings about her demise. Heather then confronts the partially-formed God, killing Her.
