== /////////// ALESSA’S STORY
Dark Alessa is complex: a trio-split girl and deity who ultimately just wanted love & empathy from those around her. She was born not knowing who her father was and she loved her mother. Alessa had telekinetic powers and a penchant for drawing monsters. She became branded as a witch by her small town run by a paranoid religious cult who believed in cleansing their town of evil to purify themselves. The cult leader convinces Alessa’s mother that Alessa needs cleansing & tricks her into offering her own daughter to be burned at the stake. Alessa is barely saved by the cops and her mother and is found in a state of unbearable, excruciating pain. Alessa is taken away with severe burns to her entire body.
In the hospital she is visited for the first time by Dark Alessa, a manifestation of all her hatred for how she has been wronged and perhaps also a visitation by a deity, or the Devil himself. Dark Alessa promises her, “That's when I came. I told her it was their turn. I promised they would all fall into her darkest dream…” The two make a pact and Silent Hill becomes a fog world, an alternate Otherworld - a place of damnation and monsters, bred from Dark Alessa’s tormented memories, hatred and demented punishment for those who caused her pain.
“They thought they knew how to cast out evil… But you should be careful how you fight evil. Your weapons can turn back on you…”
SILENT HILL is a video game series & a film directed by Christophe Gans released in 2006.
