HEATHER (Cheryl) MASONCreator's Commentary
The fool card in the game suggests Heather.
This card means departure, potentiality, and recklessness.
I think that her recklessness in fighting against Claudia and, in a certain sense, her genuineness are applicable to 'the fool'.
-Hiroyuki Owaku
Age (registered): 24
Occupation: various part-time jobs
Lives in: apartment 102 of Daisy Villa Apartment Building
In 2003, Cheryl is like any other seventeen year old girl. She goes through various part-time jobs, is into much of the same things Cheryl and Alessa were into - but really is just your normal teenage girl, whose very protective of her past. One afternoon, after falling asleep in the local mall's Happy Burger, she makes a call to her dad before heading home. She meets up with Douglas Crevant, a Detective hired by the Claudia, Alessa's old friend and now a Priestess of the Order, some months ago to find Heather and remind her of her true past. Getting spooked, she runaways from him and hides out in the bathroom before climbing out into the alleyway behind the mall. When she heads back through a backdoor, she steps into the alternate plane that Claudia created to nurture the god fetus within Cheryl - the same Alessa created to protect herself from Dahlia. After fighting a few monsters Claudia had created, the two meet in a hallway. Claudia only gives her an enimatic explanation before leaving Cheryl to deal with the pain (headsplitting migraines) of the god fetus growing inside of her. Fighting through the mall, she is able to escape the alternate world briefly, meeting up with Douglas, who is also trapped in the alternate world with her. She deserts him though, fighting through the mall subway and the buildings she is forced to travel through alone. Before freeing herself again, Cheryl meets up with Vincent, the Order's Priest. Even though she can't tell what his intentions are and becomes confused by his story - she does feel that he is more trustworthy than Claudia.
When she arrives back at the apartment, she discovers the body of her father mutilated in his chair. Following the bloody footsteps up to the roof, she discovers that Claudia ordered a cult missonary to kill her father (who becomes affected by Claudia's powers so that he appears monstrous) and vows to kill Claudia. But the Priestess escapes back to Silent Hill, leaving the missionary to be dealt with, as a way to nuture the god fetus. Killing the cult missionary, Cheryl returns to the apartment to grieve and plan her next move. Douglas arrives and she blames him for Claudia finding her and killing her father. He doesn't disagree, but offers to help her. At first she declines, but after helping her with placing her father in his bed and creating a small burial for him, she agrees to let him drive her there. Before they leave, Vincent meets up with Douglas, who is waiting for Cheryl downstairs. He gives him Harry's old notebook to give to Cheryl, who, after reading it in the car, begins to remember the two halves she had repressed for so long.
When they get to Silent Hill, Douglas rents a room at Jack's Inn for them and they get some sleep. The next day, Douglas, by Cheryl's request, leaves her to look for Claudia on her own while he searchs the town himself. Getting a tip, she goes to the Brookhaven Mental Institution, where she deals with Leonard Wolf, Claudia's father, and later kills him - taking the Seal of Metatron to use again Claudia. As she closes in on Claudia, she finds out more and more about her alterego, Alessa and meets up with Douglas again after he is attacked by the Priestess. Before she finds her way into the Order's Chapel, she fights the memory of Alessa's obsession, her want to die so that the god inside of her could not be born. When she arrives in the Chapel and makes it through the Priestess' twisted vision, she and Claudia come head to head. In the course of their fight, Vincent is stabbed to death for interfering and Cheryl realizes that she must throw up the god-fetus or she would die. Using the tablet of Aglophotis inside the pendant her father had given her to her, she throws up the god-fetus. A desperate Claudia swallows the fetus, merging herself with the Incubus and falling into the Chapel's blood chasm. Without hesitation, Cheryl leaps down into the underground room and kills Claudia, halting the Order's prophisized ascension. Returning to the surface, Cheryl meets back up with Douglas, who waited for her in the amusement park. They return to her apartment, where they bury her father and she drops her "Heather" alias. She was later put on trial for the murder of her father, but was proven innocent with the help of Douglas. She likes cookies, Chocolate, Silver rings, fairy tales, "The Lost World" by Conan Doyle, drawing, and playing cards. She dislikes mirrors, big dogs, bugs and snakes, adults, and being teased. She carries a pocket knife with her.
Heather
Heather- Her name comes from Miss Heather Morris, who did Heather's voice and motion in the game. At first we had chosen the name "Helen," but it was pointed out that this name is old-fashioned and so it was changed. French actresses such as Charlotte Gainsbourg and Vanessa Paradis were her models. "The Fool card in the game suggest Heather. This card means departure, potentiality and recklessness. I think that her recklessness is fighting against Claudia and, in a certain sense her genuineness are applicable to "the fool." - Hiroyuki OwakuCreator's comment: Cheryl- Originally we wanted to call her Dolores for the same reasons as Harry's character, but this met with fierce opposition and was rejected. The name originates from Sheryl Lee, but there is no particular significance.
Lost Memories: Heather, the protagonist of Silent Hill 3, is the reincarnation of the two young girls who appeared in Silent Hill 1, Alessa and Cheryl. This girl, who carried The God inside her body as a result of the ritual that Dahlia once conducted, assumed an alias and dyed her hair to conceal her whereabouts. However, seventeen years later, because her body had matured enough for her to take on the rol of the Mother, her existence was percieved by the religious organization. One can think that Vincent's line, "the time has come" also signifies the fact that Heather's body has matured as the Mother of The God. Additionally, Heather's abilities as the Mother of The God are awakened as she regains her past memories in the game, and a premonition of this is already appparent even in the bad dream that immediately follows the opening. What becomes the scene of the beginning of her nightmare is the amusement park that also appears in the later half of the game. One can think that Heather is endowed with precognitive abilies and that this dream was a warning that she sent to herself.

Name: She was originally to be named Helen, but the name was deemed to old-fashioned (or a potential reference to Clock Tower). Since they had
little time, the developers quickly renamed her after Heather Morris, the actress who did her voice. Also, the name may be a possible part of some sort of color code: Black Dahlia -White Claudia - Pink Heather
Appearance commentary: She was supposed to be the epitome of innocence, but players prefer non-ideal character, who have flaws - in appearance, in character (Maria would be a good example)... That is why the innocent
Helen was given a more earthly appearance: spots under her eyes, dirty clothes and a somewhat greater sexuality. Additionally, she was supposed to be wearing jeans at first, but the women of Team Silent convinced Shingo Yuri to change that to a skirt. A matter of great discussion was
her hair - as a result, Heather's hair became a little curly, although
that wasn't in the original artworks.
According to the developers' actresses such as Charlotte Gainsbourg,
Vanessa Paradis and Sophie Marceau greatly influenced the early sketches of Heather's face.
Actress: Heather Morris. Little is known about her.
-You can see her in the Making of SH3& movie.
-She isn't a blonde.
-John Anthony Mathewson (known for his fan-soundtrack Broken Notes)
wanted to marry her.
The Fool represent zero.
Thematic Meaning:
Heather wakes at the star of the game in a fast food restaurant at the shopping mall
We know this is merely the beginning of Heathers’s journey, later when she sets off she is still quite naïve about the perils that she will eventually face. She is begining her quest of self discovery.
Literal Meaning: This card stands for beginnings and the unexpected. The essence of chaos, rashness, innocence and the unconventional.
Notes: Anyone who has read the Magic of Mythbook and lost memories will know that Heather is compared to The Fool when she begins her journey to learn about the past and regain her powers.
According to Hiroyuki Owaku's commentary, each major SH3 character had a personal Tarot card assigned to them. In Alessa's sick room. HeatherThis first stage of the mythological journey—which we have designated “call to adventure”—signifies that destiny has summoned the hero and transferred her spiritual centre of gravity to a zone unknown. – Joseph Campbell, ‘The Hero with a Thousand Faces’
finds her own card - 0, The Fool. What does this card symbolize? Possibly,
by associating her with a fool, the authors tried to show, that despite
her age (24), her psychological development is more suitable for a
17-year-old? Or it could be reference to her obscured consciousness. Well,
not exactly. Let us look closer at the card.
The Fool represents the power of Fate. It symbolizes that the outcome is not controlled by the person - practically, the heroine in SH3 had no choice, everything was predestined, she was doomed to suffer Alessa's rebirth (remember the closed cycle of the rollercoaster track).
So, what do we see in the Fool of SH3? A man, blindly marching forward
(traditionnaly, he is depicted as going towards a chasm - i.e. the Fool
doesn't see where he's going). He is going in the direction of the sun - towards God. He is followed by a DOG, that is constantly biting at his
feet, not letting him stray from his way (constant follower = Valtiel) and on the Fool's back is a bag, which is always interpreted as the burden of past mistakes and delusions, which must be worked off to open the eyes and see the road again. To gain the ability to choose.
Appropriate for our heroine, no?
In a personal sense, The Fool symbolizes a simple soul (remember Heather's outlook on life) and signifies naivete (thus,power of Fate, innocence,
but at the same time great potential, great beginning, change.
I think, the parallels are more than obvious.
The really important feature of this card is that its number should be 0. It represents therefore the Negative above the Tree of Life, the source of all things.
The Fool/Heather also represents the complete faith that life is/can be good and worthy of trust. It represents innocence, Some might call the Fool too innocent, but his innocence sustains him/her and brings him/her joy.
He/She reminds us of the unlimited potential and spontaneity inherent in every moment. There is a sense with this card that anything goes - nothing is certain or regular. The Fool adds the new and unfamiliar to a situation
the Fool can signal a new beginning, departure or change of direction -
the Fool is reckless and believes to follow their heart no matter how crazy or foolish their impulses may seem.
in Spiritual matters, represents ideas and thoughts, which endeavour to transcend the earth.
In material matters, reveals folly, mania, a sudden,unexpected impulse.
Heather's Tarot Card: The Fool
Within the shaman's journey, this is the supreme path, in which the magician dissolves his very being in the void of the final mystery.
The Fool is Air or Vacuum or Puissant Innocence.
Emptiness, also Potential Purity
