Alessa:
“It would be better for “myself” to die. After all, it’s nothing to be afraid of…
That child… that demon…
When I think of the endless pain it will bring when it is birthed…
I decided that, instead of the suffering and cruelty I endured in that sick room…
That I would like to bestow a more gentle and peaceful death on “myself.”
Why do “I” resist? I never thought of “myself” as such a fool…”
Heather:
“I guess it’s kinda strange for me to call you that, since you are me.
But y’know what? “You” and I don’t think alike, after all…
And it’s not that I don’t remember that sick room either…”
“God” is the last boss of Silent Hill 3. Despite Her divine name, She is simply a very powerful monster, which draws power from the energies abounding in Silent Hill. God was growing inHeather Mason’s womb, thanks to Claudia Wolf’s plotting andValtiel’s constant vigil. Claudia also torments Heather throughout the game, letting God feed off of her anger and despair, believing that a diety who is familiar with such emotions would be kinder and more empathic than one born of happiness. Also, the birth of God ensures the death of the host mother. At the end of the game, when Heather finally confronts Claudia, she takes a capsule of Aglaophotis, which then forces God out of her body. After Heather throws up the writhing, monstrous fetus, Claudia, in a fit of desperation, devours it. She is wracked with pain and is pulled into a hole by a creature below, where Heather follows.
When she comes to, she finds that she is in the same room as God, which has grown to full size in an amazingly short period. Valtiel appears once more to shroud God’s head, before vanishing once again. God appears as a huge, half-skeletal being whose face resembles a porcelain mask with the likeness of Alessa Gillespie, Heather’s true identity. Heather sees Claudia’s empty robe on the floor and remarks “You can’t be dead! I was gonna kill you!”. Due to God’s unnatural and hasty birth, She is twisted and malformed, with Her legs lacking flesh and ending at the knees. She produces no coherent words or statements, like most monsters, and roars like the beast She is. It is apparent She also has control over fire and uses it frequently to attack Heather. After a long fight, Heather finally kills the abomination, dropping to her knees and breaking down in grief for her father.
God is a manifestation of The Order’s namesake deity. She is a powerful God that is much like the Incubus or Incubator, in which She spawns in a physical form determined by the birth mother’s thoughts of how She should look. In this case, God resembles Alessa, as Claudia thought that God would resemble her, and held Alessa very close to her heart. Her monstrous aspect could be due to Heather’s thoughts on how the God of such a twisted cult would look - this, combined with the fact that it was Heather’s hate and anger that nurtured Her in utero, makes it likely that Heather’s perception of the God could influence her eventual appearance, despite the fact that Heather does not birth Her properly. As in the paintings of the God in the church, Her status as a divine being is evidenced by the blood-red veil that hangs above Her, and She is impervious as long as She is draped in it. It is unknown how God would have looked or behaved if Heather had properly given birth to Her, and not Claudia.
