Persona Attributes

Cybil is a very tough and strong-willed cop, usually reserved and calm during stressful situations. She is also very loyal and courageous to the task at hand, going as far as to risk her life to save Cheryl and assist Harry.

Full Name: Cybil Bennett Gender: Female Age: 22-years-old Occupation: Brahms police officer Cybil is skeptical of the occult and paranormal activity in Silent Hill, Maine, believing that the cultists are either crazy or on drugs. Cybil Bennett is a police officer from Brahms, a town neighboring Silent Hill. She is sent to Silent Hill to investigate her precinct's lack of communication with the Silent Hill Police and is unwittingly drawn into its strange world. The Play Novel reveals more of Cybil's backstory. When Cybil was a little girl, her parents were murdered by an unidentified man. Cybil, who was hiding in a closet at the time, looked through the closet's crack and witnessed her parents being shot in the heads. This incident largely impacted her future, which was the main influence on her becoming a police officer. Before entering the town, Harry sees Cybil riding by on her motorcycle while he is driving with his daughter. Shortly before crashing his Jeep, he spots the bike again, lying abandoned by the roadside. Cybil also crashed due to Alessa Gillespie's astral projection. After being ambushed by monsters in the town, Harry finds himself inside a cafe with Cybil. In the novelization, it is revealed that Cybil followed Harry into the alleyway and rescued him from being killed by a "monster", and she proceeded to drag him into the cafe. The Play Novel contradicts the novelization, claiming that when Cybil came to, she entered the cafe to get out of the snow and already found Harry sleeping inside. Cybil can't find any logical explanation as to what has happened to the town but feels that something is certainly wrong. Harry is the only person she has seen in the town, and all communication devices are not working. In the novelization, Harry also tells Cybil that he had a handgun and knows how to use it, but probably dropped it in the alleyway.

Prompt

Because of the alarming nature of their situation, Cybil gives Harry an extra gun she found and tells him to be careful with it before departing. Sometime later, Cybil sees a glimpse of a girl through the fog on Bachman Road. Cybil follows the figure to an obliterated road, but the figure vanishes after apparently walking into "thin air". Much later in the game, Cybil sees Harry and follows him into Green Lion Antiques. Here she explains that the police were investigating the flow of drugs in Silent Hill, which she attributes to all the strange things transpiring. She seems resistant to Harry's talk of demons and the occult. Cybil and Harry lose contact after Harry separates with her by crawling through a passageway in the back of the shop. When Harry enters a boat in the alternate Resort Area, he is relieved to run into Cybil again. This time, he insists that something serious is going on. Cybil is still reluctant to believe Harry, despite this time having seen the fog and snow turn into darkness and rain. Left with no recourse, Harry and Cybil decide to split up and look for Cheryl; Harry leaves to investigate the lighthouse while Cybil heads to Lakeside Amusement Park. If the player receives the "Good+" ending, Alessa gives Harry a newborn baby and uses her power to open a portal for him. Cybil awakens and follows Harry through the light, which transports them out of the Otherworld in time. Cybil and Harry are seen running in Silent Hill with the baby in Harry's arms, and they disappear into the fog. The game's opening sequence is also altered, replacing Harry's wife with Cybil. The novelization uses the "Good+" ending, in which Cybil lives. However, the canonicity of the novelization is arguable as it was also written by Sadamu Yamashita, who was not involved in work on the games.
