Characters of the Silent Hill series
[6] Fifty to sixty Japanese and American voice actors auditioned for Silent Hill 2, with five ultimately chosen: Guy Cihi, Donna Burke, David Schaufele, Jakey Breckenridge, and Monica Horgan.
[6] The Silent Hill 3 development team initially saw Heather as "innocent", something that was reflected in original sketches of her, but they found this motif to be too "nice", so the game's supervising illustrator Shingo Yuri modeled Heather after French actresses Sophie Marceau and Charlotte Gainsbourg,[7] with Vanessa Paradis serving as a model for concept art.
[8] Silent Hill 3's male characters were delineated by the development team as possessing flaws and complexes to add realism.
[8] A priest from The Fifth Element was the basis for this generation of Douglas;[7] actors such as Ian Holm and Giancarlo Giannini were models for some of the character's concept art.
Incorporation of hints aiming at revealing Vincent's nature were added, by giving him a laugh "like he is hiding something nasty" and during his speech, "one of his eyes is not looking at the observer.".
Harry is the protagonist of the Silent Hill: Shattered Memories reimagining, which starts similarly to the original game.
Seven years afterward, Cheryl and Harry crash their car to avoid hitting Alessa's other half, who appears in the road.
In Silent Hill 4: The Room, it is revealed that Dahlia took part in brainwashing Walter Sullivan, leading him to believe that the 21 Sacraments are the only way to see his "mother".
Dahlia appears in the Silent Hill film, where she is a much more sympathetic character who is tricked to hand Alessa over to her sister, Christabella.
In Silent Hill, a projection of Alessa makes Harry crash his car, allowing Cheryl to recombine with her.
Cybil Bennett (シビル・ベネット, Shibiru Benetto) is a cop from the neighboring town of Brahms, whom Harry meets before crashing in Silent Hill.
In the Silent Hill film, Cybil helps Rose search for Sharon, but gets captured by the Order, who burns her alive.
Kaufmann attempts to follow Harry through the portal to escape the area collapsing around him, but he is stopped by Lisa's spirit.
Kaufmann reappears in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories as a psychiatrist who periodically performs psychological questionnaires and tests on the player.
Lisa has a brief appearance in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, where Harry rescues her from a crash only for her to succumb to her injuries: in one ending, it is implied that she is his mistress.
[22] Angela Orosco (アンジェラ・オラスコ, Anjera Orasuko) is a disturbed, suicidal teenage girl who is ostensibly on a search for her mother.
[33] Backstory material provided by Konami describes Eddie as being usually calm but with "another side that he cannot control when angered" and working at a gas station.
Its appearance stems from the "distorted memory of the executioners" and the town's past as a place of execution, according to Takayoshi Sato, the character designer for Silent Hill 2.
He appeared as a player character in the Nintendo DS video game New International Track & Field and Konami Krazy Racers.
Henry Townshend (ヘンリー・タウンゼント, Henrī Taunzento) (voiced by Eric Bossick[44]) is the player character of Silent Hill 4: The Room.
Butcher (ブッチャー, Butchā) is a monster similar to Pyramid Head and a manifestation of Travis's guilt who later appears in Book of Memories as a boss.
The eldest daughter of town judge, Margaret, Elle, like Alex, faces pressure to live up to her family name.
Adam (アダム, Adamu) and Lillian (リリアン, Ririan) are the parents of Alex and Joshua and members of the Shepherd family.
Michelle Valdez (ミッシェル・バルデズ, Missheru Barudezu) is a Cuban-American graduate of Midwich High School who works at The Balkan club.
Soon after, Carol divorced Murphy, who was so consumed with grief that he allowed himself to be arrested and sent to Ryall State Prison so he could kill Napier.
Appearing as a towering humanoid wearing heavy raincoat, gas mask, and wielding a hammer, it torments both Murphy and Anne over their guilt.
A poem is supposedly capable of warding off the Bogeyman Critics noted the level of realistic detail given to the characters of Silent Hill 2 and Konami's ability to transition between CG and in-game scenes.
[47] GameZone praised James' sympathetic character, and found the voice acting improved, though not flawless, as compared to Silent Hill 2's predecessor.
[50] IGN's Emma Boyes praised the relationship between James and Mary, listing it as one of "The Greatest Video Game Couples".
GameSpot's Scott Osborne found her "interesting" and liked the fact that although she seems to be an average girl, she remains non-intimidated upon witnessing sights he considered frightening, stating that "even Rambo would run like hell from that.
