𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀 𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐘’𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐌.    body / eye horror undercut, but here are my thoughts and headcanons on lisa garland in dead by daylight.

⊰ ♡ ⊱ lisa was able to enact her revenge on kaufmann before being picked up by the entity; although her transformation scene is one of great despair, the entity chose to prey on her strong desire for revenge instead. because of this, lisa's base outfit looks more like a prestiged version of her base skin. the entity isn't so kind as to reverse her transformation, but it did enough to give her hope.

on top of this, her right eye isn't an actual eye—— although it originated as a glitch within silent hill two's maria, the teeth in eye glitch would suit lisa well and i have my own ideas on how she's related to pyramid head ( inspired by the cage of cradle cover, nudity warning ). she usually covers it up with a medicinal eyepatch.

⊰ ♡ ⊱ personality wise, her anxiousness doesn't go away with time. it isn't beginner's nerves because silent hill has prepared her well for monsters, human-shaped or not. ghostface? lisa knows how cruel people can be. demogorgon? she's seen scarier in silent hill's otherworld. lisa's anxiety is caused by her believing the other survivors will see her as a monster, or at least the monster she fears she is. ( she's just like them, remember? )

lisa does, however, sympathize easily with the killers. it may be out of her own guilt for what she did alessa—— she understands how one can be pushed or forced into evil. the legion and wraith are prime examples! this doesn't mean lisa is friends with all killers, however; those who take joy in what they do are scorned by lisa, who remembers her time under kaufmann well.

pyramid head in particular is interesting for lisa, because she feels a strange connection to him. she doesn't know why, other than the fact that he reminds her of the gruesome figures she's seen in silent hill's otherworld. he scares her, and is one of the only killers who does.

⊰ ♡ ⊱ lisa is incredibly altruistic in the fog. she runs around as a healer and is typically the first person to go for the unhook, or at the very least, makes sure the person on hook gets patched up afterwards. it's very rare for lisa to make it out of a trial, but almost always, the rest of her teammates do.

her motivations as to why are a whole mixed bag. to touch on her guilt again, perhaps her failure towards alessa is what makes her strive to do better. or maybe it's the comfort in knowing that even if the others find out she's a monster, she's helped them enough that they may not hate her immediately. it could even be the fact that she's a nurse and instinctively wants to help people, even if it wasn't originally her dream. in the end, it always leads to self-sacrifice.
