She meets Harry Mason in a Diner after rescuing him from his car wreckage. They quickly become friends and she helps him find his daughter. As with James and Laura in Silent Hill 2, she claims she has not seen any monsters. After playing through all the Silent Hill games you will notice the large amount of hints toward Silent Hill being the town from hell or a creation of insanity...However, Cybil does realise that the roads leading out of Silent hill are "cut" quite literally and therefore unusable, along with any other way of contacting outside. No phones, radios or anything work properly. Although she says she has seen no monsters, she does get attacked by a paracite which takes her over and causes her to attack Harry. Her fate depends on what you, the player, does during the course of the game. You can shoot and kill her, or you can get rid of the paracite. In Silent Hill: Play Novel [Japan only] Cybil does not survive her crash, but doesnt know she's dead [Which is also a possible ending for Harry too.] however out of her own dutiful nature she helps Harry find his daughter before realising that she cant leave Silent Hill with him and fades away from Silent Hill and into the afterlife.

Eye colour: Green
Occupation: Taking care of Alessa Gillespie
Appeared in: Silent Hill
Voice actor: Thessaly Lerner
Lisa Garland is a Nurse working at Alchemilla Hospital in Silent Hill. Like the other members of the hosptial staff, she had an addiction to White Claudia [See Dr. Michael Kaufmann] and like the others, she would do anything for Kaufmann in fear that he might cut off the White Claudia supply. She was assigned to taking care of Alessa Gillespie while she was in a coma, constantly replacing bandages. Harry initially finds her hiding under a table, from that event and the way she behaves, she is obviously very scared. She claims she has no idea whats going on and would easily be the only human in Silent Hill who is telling the truth. She is a good source of information and reveales an important plot point: The cult of Silent Hill. Near the end of the game, she explains to Harry she went into the basement of the Hospital and now "understands whats happening". She realises she is a monster, similar to that of the other nurses roaming the hospital with weapons and firearms. After realising the truth she dies, bleeding from her head, eyes, mouth and nose. There are cetain theories on Lisa Garland that suggest she is either dead, a ghost, or another manifestation thought up by Alessa, no different to the other monsters she has created. She could also be being controled by Alessa to slow Harry down by making Lisa act so needy and scared, knowing Harry's kind nature and the fact that he wouldnt leave an innocent, terrified girl behind. It is also further speculated that Lisa could have been the one who took the reborn Alessa (Cheryl) to the roadside outside Silent Hill. It is stated that in Silent Hill 3, Alessa in the form of Heather Morris still has a sympathy for the tragic nurse in red...
