Alessa Gillespie

She is presented as the driving force and one of the most influential characters behind the events of the series. It is gradually revealed that Alessa had a very dark, violent, traumatic and abusive childhood. Alessa was bullied, beaten, tortured, and set on fire as a child; her immolation and extreme suffering caused by her mother's cult, the Order, for the sake of rebirthing her god, served as a catalyst of the current warped and twisted state of Silent Hill's mysterious spiritual power.
