Maria, a woman manifested by the power of Silent Hill.
A manifestation in the Silent Hill series refers to anything constructed from a character's psyche or subconscious and given physical form through the powers of Silent Hill — particularly when referring to people or, more accurately, the likenesses of them.
They may be projections of a character's delusions, desires, guilt, fear or memories that have taken the form of a sentient human being capable of interacting with its surroundings. At other times, they may be real, but are born through unnatural means.
Manifestations are not necessarily "ghosts", "spirits" or "reincarnations", although it is possible for them to have memories of a past self via the manifestor's memories, depending on their role in the story. Oftentimes the manifestations take the image of someone (alive or deceased) who the manifestor was familiar with before arriving in Silent Hill.
Monsters are also manifestations, as they are created from a character's subconscious and brought to life by the powers of Silent Hill.
