Lisa Garland

Lisa Garland is a young woman who grew up and worked in the tourist town of Silent Hill, Maine, attending Midwich Elementary School at an early age.

Full Name: Lisa Garland Gender: Female Age: 23 Occupation: Nurse at Alchemilla Hospital In her late-teenage years, she was a theater enthusiast with aspirations of becoming an actress, sometimes visiting the Artaud Theater to daydream about rising to stardom. These ambitions were overridden when she was pressured by her family to become a nurse, following the tradition of her mother and grandmother before her. She worked as a trainee nurse in Alchemilla Hospital under Dr. Michael Kaufmann, who secretly ran the town's drug trade and had business associations with the shadowy cabal known as "the Order". The Order supernaturally impregnated the psychic girl Alessa Gillespie with the god of their religion so that it could be born into the physical world and cleanse humanity of suffering. However, she sustained severe burns during the ritual, leading them to fake her death so that they could continue on with their plans without legal scrutiny. Following the incident, Lisa had several interactions with Travis Grady, who was suspicious of the ordeal and sought to uncover the truth. At some point, Kaufmann began administering an illegal narcotic to her from his business, using her addiction to blackmail her into keeping Alessa alive in the hospital basement and maintaining the Order's secret. A complication arose when Alessa split her soul in half to stop the god's birth, causing the other half to materialize as the baby Cheryl Mason. This meant that she could not heal from her injuries, requiring constant medical attention. Lisa spent the next seven years under Kaufmann's control and was promoted to the rank of nurse in this time. He had at least one sexual encounter with her in a Riverside Motel room during her years of drug usage. The period of drug abuse, blackmail, and stress of taking care of Alessa severely impacted her physical and mental health.
