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

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.
