Appearance
5'9. blue (black). blonde (black).

At first glance, Sharon looks like a pale young woman with chin-length bleached blonde hair and skin so smooth it almost seems filtered. A closer look might catch something different, but only for a moment: ash dusts her skin in uneven smears, coal-like residue blackens her fingertips and lips, and her hair looks like shadows.

In any reflective surface, her image tells a different story: burn scars cover her from head to toe in the first instant before her current appearance settles into view.

TETHERS
TETHER INFORMATION
☉ Her emotions tend to lick the tether, like a flame's tongue, an errant heat that grows depending on the depth of the emotion. Larger emotions run hotter. Darker emotions can feel violent, as if they threaten to damage the threads that bind.

☉ Works exceptionally hard at maintaining a lid on her worst emotions, but it's obvious, like a lid rumbling on top of a boiling pot of water. There's often the sense that she's always one step away from exploding in a violent display, but she never does.

☉ Scents would trend floral, warm, and smoky, with a distinct metallic (fresh blood) undertone. The worse off she is, the less floral notes there are to pick up. Her florals lean hard into a deep, heady sort of red rose scent that’s a bit powdery. Most noticeable when she's reaching out.

☉ Overall vibes would be oppressive. Think an abandoned hospital. It's not frightening, but there's weight there. Weight and age, along with a very distinct loneliness.

☉ Nightmares are depressingly common. You'll know it's one of Sharon's by the foreboding atmosphere, rusted world, and presence of various monstrous creatures (Nurses, Pyramid Head, Missionary, Mannequin Spider, Armless Man). Sometimes, they end with the dreamer burning alive.
𝕊ℍ𝔸ℝ𝕆ℕ'𝕊 ℕ𝕀𝔾ℍ𝕋𝕄𝔸ℝ𝔼
✦ Belladonna (AKA: Bella or B)

✦ Aloof, challenging, aggressive

✦ Prone to nipping

✦ Sensitive to Sharon's emotions

✦ The only people who can ride her with Sharon are those she's tethered with.

✦ The wisps of shadow do not hide how bony she is, and she has one single, twisted horn jutting from the middle of her skull.
Illusionist Traits
olfactory.
Varies with her emotions. The more intense the emotion, the more intense the scent. Fear carries the tang of burning coal, while rage reeks of scorched flesh. Sorrow leaves the air thick with the metallic scent of rust. Joy smells like sweet milk and roses mingled with the crisp decay of dead leaves. When she's not caught up in strong emotion, the scent that lingers around her is warm, akin to a lit fireplace in a cozy living room.
fog.
The first of her abilities as an Illusionist to appear. Fog appears to follow her wherever she goes. It lingers at her feet and grows thick enough to shroud her when her fear is too great. Currently, she has little to no control over it. She's got control now. As an illusion, it doesn't dissipate when fanned or in high wind. It clings unnaturally.
horrors.
Her illusions can't cause physical harm, but they can convince others they've been hurt for as long as the illusion holds. Those with sharper perception might see through them. She tends to manifest creatures inspired by the monsters of Silent Hill, though she’s also capable of drawing on her own memories, or the memories she's glimpsed from others, to recreate and manipulate versions of people as her puppets.
memory manipulation.
Eventually, Sharon will develop the ability to insert or erase specific memories. These changes can be either temporary or permanent. Permanent erasure comes at a cost—it will also wipe a similar memory from Sharon's own mind. Likewise, permanently implanting a memory in someone else means she takes that same memory into herself; she can't inflict trauma without sharing in it.
negative effects.
Distraction or injury can shatter her illusions, and those who understand her powers may be able to push through them with enough focus. The longer she sustains an illusion, the sharper and crueler she becomes, drawing on the same darkness she once wielded as Alessa. Strong emotions can send her abilities spiraling, warping her appearance or distorting the world around her, sometimes even conjuring an illusion that acts on instinct to protect her.

Beyond that, it is exhausting to sustain them. The bigger the illusion, the harder the draw on her.
