Cheryl " Heather " Mason is a PC played by Ang who was placed in the hotel on the fifth day. They are a character from the Silent Hill series, most notably the third installment.

Backstory ;
Long before Heather’s story began, it began with a girl named Alessa Gillespie, born in the town of Silent Hill, to a woman who led a cult known as The Order. Born with psychic powers, Alessa was made into The Order's poster child and was frequently bullied by her classmates and peers in her youth, colloquially referred to as The Witch by most. Her hardships extended into her home life where her mother physically and emotionally abused her for the purpose of blackening her heart with hatred, believing that a God born from suffering could create a more merciful paradise than one that could not comprehend empathy. Her idea was to infuse her daughter's body with the waning soul of their God so that It could emerge and bring their horrific version of Paradise to mankind.

During the ritual, however, Alessa sustained significant burns, causing her soul to split into two halves – one remaining in her charred body, while the other manifested as a baby found by Harry Mason on the side of a road, who he would then name Cheryl. Seven years later, Harry and Cheryl returned to Silent Hill on vacation, causing the two souls to reunite and allowing for the emergence of God to take place. Harry was able to stop the deity, but the ritual was too much for the now-whole Alessa. As she was dying, she was reincarnated as a baby saved by Harry during the ordeal.

As with Cheryl, a grieving Harry raised the baby as his daughter, Heather Mason, who would remain oblivious to her past for the next seventeen years of her life, before the cult managed to track harry down one last time in an attempt to advent god once more. Their ambassador, Claudia Wolf, murdered Harry in revenge, prompting Heather to seek revenge of her own and stop the cult as her father did years ago. After killing their God and at long last releasing herself of the cult’s entanglement, Heather has embraced the name of who she considers her true self; Cheryl, and the ghosts of Alessa and the first Cheryl continue to coexist inside her.

Abilities ;
Cheryl possesses a loose form of precognition, thought to be an inheritance of Alessa's psychic powers. She does not know how to control it, however. She also has experience with firearms and was able to kill her universe's form of God with a metal pipe, so do with that information what you will.

Misc ;

 * Jewish. Father was Ashkenazi, but casual in his practices. No, she never got a Bat Mitzvah.
 * Big fan of Gothic Literature and Classic Horror.
 * Kind of scared of dogs.
 * Fucking loves bread.

Hell Questions ;
Biggest Fear?


 * Mirrors ; she sees her reflection as a false image, an imitator behind the glass, and this fear is linked to her subconscious understanding of who she really is, and what she has the potential of becoming. Furthermore, she is pyrophobic, due to her immolation as Alessa.

Greatest Regret?


 * Never truly expressing how much she loved and cared about her dad to his face.

Pet Peeves?


 * Being treated like a child. People who care more about the divine than their own kind.

Hobbies?


 * Reading whenever they get the chance to. The P in (Edgar Allen) Poe stands for Pogchamp. Sometimes plays video games, but only sometimes.

Who Do They Hold Dear?


 * Their adoptive guardian, Douglas Cartland.

Cherished Possession(s)?


 * A switchblade and a stun gun that her worrywart dad bought for her sixteenth birthday. They've never had a lot of reason to use them, so they're more of a sentimental keepsake than anything.

Favorite Memory?


 * Riding on their dad's shoulder after school as a kid. Their dad didn't have a car, and the school bus didn't round their neighborhood, so he was always at the stop waiting for her.

Worst Memory?


 * The endless nights of agony confined to a rustic, broken down hospital bed as Alessa. Really, any memories she retains from Alessa's life could be classified as some of her worst memories.

Relationships

Trivia

 * She wholeheartedly believes that aliens are real.
