Sal Fisher (sally face)²

Childhood
On August 16, 1984, the Fisher family went on a picnic to a scenic, sunny spot, where a young Sal finds a dog and is eager to pet it. After some prodding, his mother allows Sal to visit the animal. However, it is revealed that the "dog" was, in fact, a man wearing a dog mask (presumably Kenneth Phelps) and wielding a shotgun. His intention was to end the boy's life due to the prophecy that predicted a child would thwart the God-Eaters' plans. The boy survived the encounter, but at the cost of his mother's life. For years to come, Sal would maintain that his mother was killed by a man, not a wild animal, even if his psychiatrist and father disbelieved him.

After a fateful hospital visit, Sal had to adjust to a new life with her prosthetic face and internalized the nickname bullies would later give her: Sally Face.

Unknown circumstances brought the two remaining members of the Fisher family out of New Jersey and to the mysterious dwelling of room 402 of the Addison Apartments.

Halfway through unpacking, Sal decided to take a break, and after sharing his feelings about the move with his father, he went off to explore the resort. After meeting the lovely Lisa Johnson, Sal meets Larry Johnson, Lisa's heavy metal-loving son, who quickly befriends the newcomer.

After Larry confides in Sal the details of Charley Mansfield's murder of Mrs. Sanderson, the boy rushes to offer his help. After devising a plan of action and receiving a walkie-talkie from Larry, Sal returns to his room to wait for his friend's signal.

After the officers are sidetracked by a false report of a burglary, Sal enters room 403 and witnesses Mansfield's carnage, the silhouette of Sanderson's body, and an empty space between two glowing ponies.

Upon returning to Larry, they decided they had to recover Charley's stolen Shiny Pony and turn it over to the authorities. A quick visit to Charley's room made it clear to Sal that the collector wouldn't let him near his toys, so he had to find another way.

Upon visiting the fifth floor, Sal finds old laxatives in the bathroom of room 504 and the ghost of young Megan Holmes, but the supernatural being is too scared to talk to Sal for long. Despite everything, Sal continues with his plan.

After adding the laxatives to a cup of Addison's tea, Sal persuaded Charley to abandon his watchful eye over his beloved collection to attend to more pressing matters in the bathroom. Sal takes the toy and delivers it to the detective on the first floor. Mansfield is arrested and taken away.

As Sal leaves the apartment to see Charley off, curiosity leads him to the coroner's van, where Mrs. Sanderson's decomposing body lay, bagged and awaiting processing.

The curse
A few months after Sal moved into the Addison Apartments, he began to suffer nightmares. In one particular dream, Sal was at the picnic where his mother was murdered and then put himself in Larry's shoes when he was fixing the toilet for Sandy Sanderson on the day of her death.

After being swallowed by the toilet, Sal encounters the Shiny Pony he used to frame Charley, begging for water. When the plumbing is restored, the Shiny Pony swells, serving as a bridge for Sal to return to the "surface" to witness Mansfield's murder of Sanderson. A trail of bloody footprints leads to a seated Charley Mansfield, admonishing him for his actions. Sal wakes with a start as Charley's skin peels away to reveal a coal-black demon with red eyes.

Sal confides the details of his most recent vision to Larry, who is skeptical of the whole affair. Despite this, Larry takes Sal to his treehouse to tell him the story of his past. Sal immediately recognizes the Red-Eyed Demon from Larry's story (he had seen him in the apartment kitchen on his first day) and offers to help him lift his "curse." After retrieving an enigmatic Puzzle Box from a trunk containing the possessions of Larry's father, Jim Johnson, the two head back inside.

After a failed attempt to summon Megan Holmes from the bathroom in Room 504, Larry recommends that Sal speak with Todd Morrison, the resident brainiac and believer in the unknown. Sal, eager to prove to Larry that spirits exist, doesn't hesitate to visit Todd.

Upon entering room 202 of Todd's apartment, Sal encounters Ashley Campbell. Todd agrees to help Sal by modifying his Gear Boy to better detect supernatural activity. After cannibalizing Larry's radio antennas and walkie talkie, the device was ready to be tested in Todd's bathroom. It was there that they brought out the weeping ghost of Greg Montague, who is quickly scared off by the Red-Eyed Demon.

Todd recovers from the initial shock of the supernatural occurrences and advises Sal to run more tests while he investigates the history of the Addison Apartments murders further. Sal's tests lead to the discovery of several levels of a mysterious game throughout the apartment complex and the ghost of Jim Johnson. Sal doesn't share any of his discoveries with his friends.

When Megan remained hidden, even with the enhanced tracking device, Sal returned to Todd and learned that the arresting officers were not registered in the police database and that the arrested Charley Mansfield bore no resemblance to the one they knew. Furthermore, old reports about Megan's body being found in Wendigo Lake show photographs of the girl when she was still alive.

Sal retrieves Megan's necklace from the same lost object that contained the Super Gear Boy cartridge, takes Larry back to room 504, and uses the Super Gear Boy and the cross necklace to successfully break out Megan Holmes.

After another brief interaction that revealed a friendship between Jim Johnson and Megan's father, Luke Holmes, the demon scares her away, leaving a stunned Larry and Sal behind. They both agreed that the apartment room warranted further investigation. Larry left Sal to retrieve a crowbar from David, a former drug addict, while he returned to care for his ailing mother.

A visit to David's room 302 led Sal to the discovery of the missing piece of Jim Johnson's puzzle box. Before returning the crowbar to Larry, Sal solved the box and discovered a strange computer chip inside. When the chip merges with Todd's computer, the Phantom gives Sal a garbled message about a "red ball." When the vision ends, Sal discovers that the chip has somehow been replaced with a Rubix cube, and neither Todd nor Larry remembers the object.

Using the lever to enter room 403, Sal briefly conversed with the spirit of the recently deceased Mrs. Sanderson, before she too was scared off by the demon.

Returning to Room 504, Sal was finally able to enter the bedroom and summon the ghost of Stacy Holmes, who says nothing before disappearing. Further into the bedroom, Sal found a hole in the wall leading to another room. Entering the hole, Sal summoned the hanging ghost of Luke Holmes. When Sal attempted to speak to him, the ghost shed its skin to reveal an agitated Red-Eyed Demon. Before the demon could do anything, it was dispatched with a special device created by Todd and used by an intervening Larry.

When the threat had clearly passed, Sal comforted a distraught Larry over his father's "abandonment."

The Bologna incident
Most of the events following the Red-Eyed Demon's disappearance turned out to be normal for Sal (except for the disappearance of several students), who had become good friends with Todd, Ashley, Chug, and Maple. Events returned to the paranormal the day Sal had a math test.

Sal, who had finished his math test well ahead of the rest of his class, distracted himself by doodling before falling asleep. Ms. Packerton abruptly wakes him up and assures him that he did well on his test, earning the wrath of the bully: Travis Phelps. As the class comes to an end, Travis confronts Sal and Ashley in the hallway and punches the former in the face, drawing blood in the process. Sal refuses all offers from his classmates to get revenge on Travis, insisting that it would only make things worse for him.

The next day at lunch, Sal notices that the bologna he's served tastes funkier than usual, causing his friends to speculate about the meat's origins. Rather than leave the matter a mystery, Sal decides to investigate, and his group (excluding Chug and Maple) agrees to help.

After being harshly rebuffed by the lunch lady, Kim Yazzie, Sal turns to alternative solutions. Suspecting that Kim was responsible for the state of the bologna, Sal teamed up with Larry and took a photograph from the woman's file. As Kim Yazzie was a former amateur nature photographer, Sal took a photograph of a bird and presented it to Kim, who was then willing to give the boy a sample of the bologna and the identity of the school's supplier: Mrs. Packerton.

After examining the bologna, Sal's group concluded they needed more information about where Packerton had obtained the bologna. Before lunch ended, Sal and Larry broke into Packerton's classroom and opened his desk drawer to find numerous cult artifacts, including an item similar to Jim Johnson's puzzle box. Not long after, Sal suffers another vision of The Phantom, who delivers an indecipherable message before vanishing.

The temple
Sal and Larry retrieve Todd and enter a basement room hidden by shelves of lost and found items. Although the room is mostly empty, Sal discovers a basement door leading deeper underground. They enter the God-Eaters temple and position Todd at the entrance to hold the gateway open. After navigating through the temple's maze and pressure-plate puzzle doors, Sal and Larry come across a pedestal before another door.

Sal placed the piece he stole from Packerton on the pedestal, which opened the door and led to a room filled with piles of bones from the Cult's victims. Miraculously, Ashley escaped unharmed and was discovered unconscious on one of the piles.

After getting Ashley out of the temple, the group wanted to know what they should do to ensure Packerton couldn't harm anyone else. To Sal's horror, his friends suggested killing her. Sal convinced them to sleep on it, but the next morning they learned that no action was necessary, as Packerton had been killed by a drunk driver on her way home.

The infection of the eternal
When Sal returned home, he received disturbing text messages from Larry. When his stepbrother didn't answer his cell phone, Sal ran to the treehouse behind the apartment building, only to find Larry's suicide note detailing the purpose of his actions: the darkness was beginning to infect him.

Later, according to Ashley at Sal's trial, Ash went to see him and thought he was drunk. She argued with him for the first time and let Henry and Lisa know that Sal wasn't well. She later regrets not staying with Sal.

Sal put on the Necrolight guitar and enlisted Todd's help. He investigated the treehouse and found an empty alcohol bottle on the ground. Before a proper investigation could be conducted, Sal was teleported to the roof of the apartment building, right next to the pillar, by the ghost of Alyson Rosenberg.

With the help of Larry's Ghost, Sal destroyed the pillar and (temporarily) freed the residents from the Eternal's control.

Upon entering Terrence Addison's room, Sal learned the truth. The Eternal had attempted to infect the building before and had succeeded in possessing every member of the Addison clan, but was only stopped by a young Terrence who was able to fight its influence long enough to massacre his family and prevent it from spreading. The Eternal manifested within Terrence and had been struggling to control him for decades.

Using the Necrolight guitar, Sal killed the Infinite and briefly met the real Terrence Addison, who gave him a terrible mission: kill everyone infected by the Darkness or the shadows will consume more people. After much deliberation, Sal relented and killed all the residents of the apartment building, including his own father.

Once the deed was done, Sal left the building and was greeted by a horrified Ashley Campbell and the Nockfell Police Department.

The trial
An unspecified time later, Sal Fisher, dubbed by the media as "The Sally Face Killer," was arrested and awaited trial. The courts assigned Dr. Enon as his psychiatrist to determine whether or not he was a victim of his own mental instability. Enon questioned Sal, eager to learn details of the convict's strange dreams and stories, hoping they would explain why Sal committed mass murder.

During the penultimate session before his trial, Sal told Enon about his dream in the hospital and the discovery of his mother's body. Enon dismissed it as an "interesting dream" and asked Sal to share the details of his first day at the Addison Apartments. Sal agreed, but was initially unwilling to divulge any details about Larry Johnson after high school, but by the time he was willing to talk, the session was over.

In his final session, Sal shared his encounters with the Red-Eyed Demon and the Addison Apartments ghosts with Enon, who rejected the idea of supernatural intervention in his patient's life. When the session time was up again, Sal was dragged away and yelled at Enon to investigate Larry's treehouse, promising that answers awaited him there.

Three days before Sal's interview with fake news anchor Clare Nettles (or the cult member who replaced her), Sal had another dream about The Phantom, this time speaking in understandable sentences. Sal then learned that Enon was dead and had 73 hours left.

When Sal met with Clare, he stated that he did not want a lawyer and would represent himself in the upcoming trial. Clare told Sal that the most popular question about him was his refusal to eat bologna. Sal reluctantly shared all the details of the bologna incident on two conditions: that the story be aired unedited and that he be informed of Todd Morrison's condition. Clare kept his end of the deal and informed Sal of his friend's worsening condition. Sal begged to see him, claiming that he knew what was wrong.

During his trial, Sal recounts the events of that fateful day that led to the mass murder.

The infection of the eternal
When Sal returned home, he received disturbing text messages from Larry. When his stepbrother didn't answer his cell phone, Sal ran to the treehouse behind the apartment building, only to find Larry's suicide note detailing the purpose of his actions: the darkness was beginning to infect him.

Later, according to Ashley at Sal's trial, Ash went to see him and thought he was drunk. She argued with him for the first time and let Henry and Lisa know that Sal wasn't well. She later regrets not staying with Sal.

Using the Necrolight guitar, Sal killed the Infinite and briefly met the real Terrence Addison, who gave him a terrible mission: kill everyone infected by the Darkness or the shadows will consume more people. After much deliberation, Sal relented and killed all the residents of the apartment building, including his own father.

Once the deed was done, Sal left the building and was greeted by a horrified Ashley Campbell and the Department.

Although his name is Sal, people often call him "Sally" or "Sally Face," names Sal took back from his former bullies.
Sal was originally conceived as a boy with a girl's face sewn on.[2]
Sal has a cat named Gizmo.
Sal is confirmed to be taking medication (seen in his room) for anxiety, depression, and migraines.
It is strongly implied that Sal has romantic feelings for Ashley. In "The Wretched", Sal's glass eye can be seen in a glass of water on his nightstand after he wakes up from a nightmare.
Sal inherited his unnatural hair color from his father, as his mother was blonde.
Sal plays the electric guitar, as evidenced by the guitar and amplifier in his room.
Sal's favorite types of music are rock and metal, although he likes a little bit of everything.
Sal's best friend is Larry.
Her zodiac sign is Sagittarius. With this in mind, her birthstone could be topaz or blue zircon.
It is strongly implied that Sal's facial disfigurement may have been caused by a DOG attack due to the events that occurred in the flashback at the beginning of "The Wretched".
In the dream from “Memories and Dreams,” it was revealed that his face was smashed by the shotgun as his mother tried to protect him.
In Russian, Sal's nickname, "Sally Face," translates as "Salli-kromsali," which literally means "shattered Sally."
Sal never takes off his mask in public because he doesn't like the idea of others seeing his face. Steve Gabry compared the feeling of having his prosthesis removed in public to having his pants taken off in public. Sal also enjoys the moments when he can take off his mask and eat in private without having to worry about other people watching him.

When eating, he unfastens the lower straps, revealing nothing. Steve Gabry said Sal's favorite fruit would be applesauce, as it would be easy for him to eat with the mask on. [3]
Sal doesn't have any particular favorite food, as he's gotten used to eating whatever is convenient for him. However, if he had a favorite, it would probably be pizza. [3]
The only people known to have seen his real face are Henry Fisher, Ashley Campbell, Larry Johnson, and Dr. Enon.
Sal would have to remove his prosthesis in order to take identification photographs. [3]
Steve Gabry, the developer of "Sally Face", said that Sal is his favorite character in the game during an interview.[3]
According to Ash during "The Trial," Sal once told him he was afraid to drink because addiction runs in his family and he didn't want to be an alcoholic.

Childhood and accident
Sal suffered a traumatic experience during his childhood: he was involved in a violent event that ended with the death of his mother and left him with serious facial injuries. As a result of these injuries, he began to use a facial prosthesis that covers his face.

This event profoundly marks his history for several reasons:

• Family loss: he had to face the death of a fundamental person in his life when he was still very young.
• Trauma: it was associated with a terrifying experience that altered their sense of security.
• Visible difference: your prosthesis makes it possible for other people to notice your appearance before meeting you.
• Adaptation: he had to learn to live with the physical and emotional consequences of the accident.
  The prosthesis does not define who Sal is, although it is part of how he presents himself to the world and how others may react to him.
  Moving to Addison Apartments Later, Sal moves with his father, Henry, to the Addison Apartments
  . There he meets Larry Johnson, who becomes his most important friend, and begins to relate to other characters who will end up being essential to his story.

The building, which at first seems simply like a new place to live, is transformed into the scene of strange and terrifying events.

Sal begins to discover that the supernatural phenomena surrounding the apartments could be related to something much bigger and more dangerous than he imagined.
His adolescence and subsequent
events During the story, Sal is faced with secrets, deaths, paranormal phenomena and situations that test his trust in others.

Your search for answers becomes increasingly important. He doesn't just accept what he sees: he investigates, gathers clues, listens to other people, and tries to understand what's going on.

Her story also shows how a person can continue to function and maintain relationships in

Depression
Depression is one of the difficulties associated with Sal in the character's references.

How could it manifest itself in him?

• Sadness related to loss and traumatic experiences.
• Emotional exhaustion in the face of the accumulation of painful events.
• Difficulty finding peace of mind when new threats appear.
• Need to process experiences that other people don't fully understand.
  However, we cannot attribute all the symptoms of a depressive episode to it just because it is secretive or has a tragic history.
  B. Anxiety
  Anxiety is also mentioned among the problems for which Sal receives treatment.

We can interpret some of their experiences from this perspective:

• Alertness: pays attention to strange details and possible dangers.
• Worry: you want to find out what is happening and what consequences it may have.
• Emotional tension: Repeatedly confronts situations in which they are not in control.
• Need for answers: Researching allows you to organize information that would otherwise be disconcerting.
  It must be remembered that in a horror video game, being scared of a real threat within the story is not necessarily a symptom of clinical anxiety.
  C. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): possible interpretation
  Her childhood experience brings together elements that can be related to psychological trauma: a family death, serious injuries and a profound alteration of her sense of security.

In a psychological reading, it would be reasonable to explore whether you have trauma-related symptoms, such as nightmares, disturbing memories, or excessive vigilance.

However, it is not appropriate to state that Sal has confirmed PTSD without sufficient information about all diagnostic criteria, duration of symptoms, and their daily impact.

Complicated or persistent grief: a possibility to explore
The loss of his mother during childhood is a fundamental part of his story.

Such a loss can influence how a person:

• Deals with separation from loved ones.
• Interpret the dangers and the possibility of losing someone.
• Builds your identity after a life-changing experience.
• Seek explanations for painful events.
  This does not mean that Sal necessarily has a grief disorder. It means that their loss is an important factor in understanding it.
  E. Migraines and Physical
  Health Migraines are listed along with your other health difficulties.

Migraines are a neurological condition, not a psychological disorder. They can coexist with anxiety or depression, but we should not assume that one causes the other.
What about other disorders?
There is no sufficient basis for assigning you additional diagnoses, such as bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, autism, or schizophrenia, solely because of your behavior, appearance, or supernatural experiences.

Sal is a fictional character set in a world where the paranormal is part of the plot. Their experiences should be interpreted within that context.

Their main
traumas 1. The death of his mother

is one of the central emotional wounds of his story. Sal loses an attachment figure during childhood, when he is still forming his understanding of the world.

Loss can influence your relationship with the security, fear, and value you place on the people who are still around you.
2. Injuries and facial prostheses

Sal must adapt to a visible physical difference and the reactions it can cause in other people.

This can involve experiences of stigmatization, social discomfort, or tiredness in the face of other people's curiosity. However, don't assume that you feel ashamed of yourself for wearing the prosthesis.

3. His father's suffering and loss of family

stability Henry also has to cope with the loss of his wife and raise his son after a devastating experience.

Although Sal and Henry maintain an important family bond, the pain of both is part of the background of the story. One possible interpretation is that Sal tries to continue with his life while living with the weight of what happened.

Repeated exposure to terror and violence

The mysteries of Addison Apartments and subsequent events confront him with terrifying situations on a recurring basis.

It is not a single painful episode, but a succession of experiences that can emotionally wear down even someone as persevering as Sal.

5. Losses and the fear of not being able to protect others

His friendships become a source of support, but also of vulnerability: the more important they are to him, the more painful it is when they are in danger.

Sal must repeatedly confront the limits of what he can control, even when he does everything he can to help.

Taken together, these events allow us to interpret Sal as someone who tries to preserve her relationships and find meaning amidst experiences that constantly threaten her stability. Her ability to move on does not mean that these experiences do not affect her.

Carry too much suffering

Sal continues to investigate even when the situation becomes emotionally draining. Your perseverance can keep you going without stopping to process what you're feeling.

2. You can expose yourself to danger

When you think someone needs help or that there is a threat, you are willing to face frightening situations. Your bravery can lead you to take excessive risks.

3. He can't control everything

Sal is intelligent, but not omniscient. He can gather clues, develop hypotheses and look for solutions, but there are events that are beyond his control.

4. They are emotionally exposed to losses

Their bonds with those close to them are important. That's why, when someone is in danger, the situation can affect them deeply.

5. You may have a hard time finding reassurance

After so many scary experiences, it's understandable to interpret that you have a hard time feeling completely safe. However, this is a psychological reading, not a trait that should be taken for granted at all times.

6. You can't always make others understand what's going on

Your investigations include paranormal events that are difficult to explain. Convincing others that there is a real threat can become a major obstacle.

. Sal Fisher's strengths

1. Loyalty

When you form a meaningful bond, you are committed to those close to you. His friendship with Larry is one of the best examples of that loyalty.

2. Curiosity and investigative

intelligence They are not satisfied with superficial explanations. Observe, compare clues, ask questions, and look for connections between seemingly unconnected events.

3. Perseverance

Although he has plenty of reasons to feel overwhelmed, he continues to search for answers. It's a strength that helps you move forward, though it can also become a burden.

4. Empathy and openness

They relate to people who are different from each other and pay attention to experiences that others might ignore. You don't need someone to have a conventional life to take it seriously.
5. Creativity

Music is an important part of their identity. Playing the guitar and enjoying rock gives it a personal dimension that goes beyond mysteries and terror.
6. Ability to adapt

Learn to live with huge changes in their life, a facial prosthesis, and difficult circumstances. Her story shows that a person can build relationships and develop interests even after a traumatic experience.

Skill Description
Research Examines scenes, gathers information, and matches clues.
Puzzle Solving Use objects, codes, and environmental details to progress.
Observation Pay attention to events that other characters may miss.
Cooperation Works with Larry, Ashley, and Todd to tackle different problems.
Communication with spirits Use the Gear Boy to detect and interact with paranormal phenomena.
Adaptation: Learn how to cope with new and dangerous situations.
Music Play the electric guitar and enjoy different musical styles, especially rock and metal.

The Gear Boy, especially after his modifications, is a critical tool for his paranormal investigations. It's not just a decorative console: it helps Sal discover phenomena that he can't investigate in the same way with ordinary instruments.

Their greatest skill may be to combine several skills: observe, listen, investigate and collaborate. He doesn't solve all problems on his own, and his friends are essential to many of his breakthroughs.

How he is emotionally

• Reserved: he does not need to be the center of attention and can appear calm even in complicated circumstances.
• Sensitive: Losses and dangers that affect your loved ones weigh heavily on your story.
• Brave: acts despite fear, not necessarily because they don't feel it.
• Loyal: values their friendships and cooperates with those they consider trustworthy.
• Curious: he wants to understand the causes of what happens.
• Persevering: does not easily abandon an investigation when you think there is something important to discover.
• Reflective: Spend time observing and connecting details.
• Creative: music and its interest in the strange are part of its identity.
  Are you an introvert?
  It can be interpreted as someone with introverted tendencies, but that doesn't mean that they are incapable of relating. He has close friendships and actively participates in research with his group.

Being reserved does not equate to being antisocial, and his facial prosthesis does not automatically allow us to deduce that he has self-esteem problems.
Is it cold?
It would not be an adequate description of his general personality.

Sal may seem expressionless at times, but his behavior shows that others matter to him. Their way of expressing their emotions is not always evident, especially when the story is focused on investigating or surviving a threat.
What do you do when you are afraid?
Sal keeps looking for answers even when he's afraid. Curiosity and your desire to help may be stronger than your impulse to avoid a scary situation.

This does not mean that it is invulnerable. An important part of her character is precisely that she can feel fear, pain and bewilderment while trying to do what she considers right.

His main personality
🩵 traits Reserved, but not cold
Sal doesn't seem to need to be the center of attention. You can be calm and talk without exaggerating your emotions, but that doesn't mean you're unable to connect with others.

• You don't need to talk constantly to be comfortable.
• It may take time to fully trust someone.
• Seems to get along better with people you already trust.
• You don't usually need big demonstrations to show that you care.
  🔎 Curious and observant
  , Sal has an investigative mind. When something doesn't fit, he wants to find out why.
• Looks at important details.
• Ask questions and look for evidence.
• Tries to connect seemingly unconnected events.
• Doesn't readily accept an explanation when you suspect missing information.
  His curiosity is one of his most important characteristics, especially when investigating paranormal phenomena.
  🤍 Loyal and committed to his friendships
  When Sal establishes a friendship, he shows that this relationship has value to him.
• Collaborates with friends when there are problems.
• Gets involved in difficult situations to help them.
• Values trust and shared experiences.
• Do not consider a friendship to be something disposable.
  Her relationship with Larry is one of the clearest examples of this trait.

Sensitive, although he does not always show it openly
, Sal has lived through very painful events and continues to face difficult situations. It is reasonable to interpret that he has a complex emotional life, even if he does not express everything he feels at all times.

They may worry about people close to them, be affected by losses, and feel fear in dangerous situations.

His sensitivity does not make him weak. In fact, many of his decisions show that the people he loves are important to him.
🛡️ Brave and persevering
Sal is not one who is never afraid. He is someone who continues to act in spite of him.

• Faces dangerous mysteries.
• Keep looking for answers even if the circumstances are difficult.
• Is willing to collaborate to protect others.
• They do not easily abandon something they consider important.
  Your perseverance can also work against you if you continue to get involved in situations that put you in danger.
  🎸 Creative and self-interested
  , Sal doesn't live exclusively to solve mysteries. Music, especially playing the guitar and his tastes related to rock and metal, are part of his identity.

He has interests that allow him to be a teenager with his own tastes, not just the protagonist of a horror story.
😏 He has a sense of humor
Although the story is dark, Sal is not permanently sad or serious. He can engage in jokes and humorous exchanges, particularly with Larry.

Her humor helps her relationships not to be defined solely by danger and suffering.

How is Sal according to the situation?
Situation How he
might behave With strangers Calm, observant and relatively reserved.
With his friends More relaxed, participative and willing to joke.
When someone needs help, they get involved and try to find a solution.
When something scares you You may feel scared, but try to understand what's going on.
When he discovers a mystery he becomes curious, attentive and persistent.
When you lose someone important, you may be deeply affected by the loss.
When he has free time, he can enjoy music and everyday activities.

These are interpretations based on your characterization, not absolute rules about how you would react in all circumstances.
3. His flaws and contradictions
Sal is not perfect, and that makes his personality more interesting.

• You may take too many risks: Your desire to discover the truth leads you into dangerous situations.
• Can carry too many responsibilities: tries to solve problems that you can't always control.
• It can be hard to know exactly what you're feeling: Your calm demeanor doesn't always reveal your entire emotional experience.
• You can keep going even when a situation is exhausting: Your perseverance doesn't always allow you to recognize your own limits.
• He can be vulnerable to losses: his ties mean a lot to him, so the threats that affect his loved ones carry a great weight.
  Not all of these traits have to appear together nor do they mean that he suffers from a psychological disorder.

How does he show affection?
Sal is not necessarily the typical character who expresses everything he feels through great romantic speeches or dramatic statements.

An interpretation consistent with his personality would be to show affection through actions:

• Spending time with someone.
• Listen to their concerns.
• Share your interests and activities.
• Help when the other person has a problem.
• Trust it and allow it to be part of your life.
• Share jokes and everyday moments.
  That doesn't mean you're unable to express your feelings verbally. Simply, their actions and the trust they build with others are important aspects of their way of relating.

5. What do you need emotionally?
   Although the game does not present an explicit list of his psychological needs, we can interpret them from his story.

• Safety: being able to rest without constantly facing dangers.
• Trust: Having people with whom you can share information and concerns.
• Acceptance: that they value them for their personality and do not reduce their identity to their prosthesis.
• Stability: having bonds that do not depend solely on the crises you go through together.
• Personal space: being able to enjoy their interests and quiet moments without always having to solve a problem.

Face and facial prosthesis

• Prosthesis: He wears a pale white facial prosthesis that covers a large part of his face due to injuries he suffered during his childhood.
• Expression: their expression may be difficult to interpret due to the shape of the prosthesis.
• Eyes: Their eyes are depicted in a simple, dark style, typical of the game's graphic design.
• Original face: the injuries he suffered explain why he uses the prosthesis, although the game does not always show his face without it in detail.
  The prosthesis is one of his most distinctive features, but it does not represent his personality or determine what he is like as a person.

• Color: light blue, with a slightly turquoise hue in some depictions.
• Style: long, messy and with spiky strands.
• Bangs: irregular, with strands that fall on the forehead.
• Overall look: tousled and alternative, without an overly groomed appearance.
  Her blue hair contrasts with the white prosthesis and contributes to making her easily recognizable.

3. Clothing Their wardrobe combines informal garments with elements of alternative aesthetics.

• T-shirt: he usually wears a horizontal striped T-shirt, usually in dark and light tones.
• Pants: Wear youth-style casual pants.
• Footwear: wear shoes suitable for your daily clothing.
• Style: their clothes do not seek to convey formal elegance, but a youthful and casual image.
  The colors of your costume may vary depending on the artwork, scene, or stage of the game.

4. Complexion and physical
   appearance- Age: initially presents as an adolescent; their age and life stage change throughout history.

• Complexion: its design is slim and stylized.
• Height: the game does not establish a widely confirmed official height, so it would not be correct to assign an exact figure as if it were canon.
• Posture: it is usually represented with a youthful and relaxed posture, although its movements and expressions depend on the scene.

1. It would take time to open up emotionally
   Sal has been through very difficult experiences, so it's reasonable to imagine that he would value trust a lot.

• He wouldn't necessarily tell you about his whole life during the first few dates.
• I would prefer to get to know you little by little.
• He would feel more comfortable when he knew he could talk to you without being judged.
• He would probably share his most personal thoughts when the relationship was already important to him.
  It does not mean that he was incapable of trust. Simply, a deep relationship would need time to develop.
  🫶 2. I
  imagine him showing affection in everyday ways:
• Remembering something you told him and then asking yourself how it turned out.
• Keeping a song to yourself because they think you'd like it.
• Invite you to listen to music with him.
• Accompany you when you are going through a difficult day.
• Help you with a problem without making you feel a burden.
  I wouldn't need to turn every gesture into a romantic statement. For him, sharing his time and interests could be a meaningful way to get closer to you.
  🎸 3. She would share her music with youThis
  would be one of the most beautiful aspects of dating Sal!

Music is an important part of her identity, so a plausible interpretation would be that she wanted to share it with someone special.

You could rock together, swap songs, talk about your favorite bands, or spend an afternoon listening to music while doing other things.

And if you also sing or play an instrument, he might be interested in what you do. I wouldn't necessarily react with a dramatic statement every time, but I might pay attention and remember the songs you like.

He would have a joking
side Sal is not permanently immersed in sadness. Her friendship with Larry proves that she can engage in jokes and enjoy absurd moments.

In a relationship, you might:

• Make ironic comments.
• Following an unexpected joke.
• Laughing with you about ridiculous situations.
• Have little inside jokes that only you understand.
• Tease you affectionately, as long as he knows that you also enjoy it.
  Imagine talking about something completely serious and Sal makes such an unexpected comment that they end up laughing. That side of you could make the relationship feel natural and not overly solemn.

2. How would you show love?
   These would be some plausible ways to express your affection, without assuming that they are all part of the canon.
   Sharing quality

time Being together while listening to music, playing games, chatting, or just doing their own things in the same room.
Share their interests

Show you the music they like, teach you something they've discovered, or include you in an activity they enjoy.
Meaningful

details Keep a song to yourself, remember a preference of yours, or do something small because you know it will make your day.

Be present in difficult

moments Listen to you, help you think of a solution or accompany you without demanding that you be in a good mood immediately.

Would he be physically affectionate?
There is not enough information in the game to establish what Sal would be like with physical contact within a couple.

We can imagine that, at first, he might be somewhat shy or cautious with romantic displays, although that is not a certainty.

In a healthy relationship, the important thing would be for both of them to discover what kind of affection they are comfortable with.

• I could ask you if you want a hug instead of taking it for granted.
• If you initiated contact, I could learn what gestures you like.
• They could share closeness without needing to be constantly hugging.
• If one of them needed space, they should be able to express it without the other automatically interpreting it as rejection.
  Just because someone wants to spend time with you doesn't mean they have to demonstrate it through constant physical contact.

I think that here I could highlight his more attentive side.

Sal knows pain and loss, though that doesn't mean he always knew exactly how to help someone who is hurting.

A hypothetical scene might look like this:

You're having a horrible day and you don't feel like talking. Sal notices that you are quieter than usual.

Instead of demanding explanations, he could ask you,

"Do you want to tell me what happened, or would you rather we stay here for a while?"

If you choose to stay quiet, they could sit with you and play music at a comfortable volume.

I wouldn't necessarily try to fix all your emotions. He might listen to you when you're ready and ask what you need.

Of course, Sal would not be a mind reader. If he didn't know what's wrong with you, he'd need you to tell him, just like you would need to be able to ask him when he's going through something difficult.
5. Would he be jealous?
There is no clear basis for claiming that Sal would be especially jealous or possessive.

My interpretation is that I would value trust and loyalty, but don't confuse those qualities with wanting to control your partner.

He might feel insecure in some situation, like anyone else, but a healthy version of Sal would talk about what worries him instead of checking your messages, banning you from friendships, or demanding that you be constantly available.

Likewise, he would expect you to respect his independence and friendships.

How would you handle arguments?
It would probably depend a lot on the situation. We don't have enough canonical information to say for sure how he would react to all romantic conflicts.

A version consistent with its qualities would be that:

• I will try to understand what happened before drawing conclusions.
• He will need some time to organize his thoughts if he is overwhelmed.
• I would appreciate it if they could talk without insulting or ridiculing each other.
• He will try to solve the problem instead of turning it into a competition.
• Learn to communicate your needs instead of expecting your partner to guess them.
  Her story also shows that being persistent doesn't mean always having the right answer. In a relationship, she would have to learn to listen and acknowledge when she's wrong, just like anyone else.

7. What would a long-term relationship with him be like?
   A shared routine

Listen to music, talk, play games and enjoy simple activities without every day having to be extraordinary.

Trust built little by little

Learning what worries the other person, respecting their boundaries, and being able to talk about difficult things without fear of being judged.

Mutual support

To support each other through difficulties without one having to become responsible for solving the other's entire life.

Humor and complicity

Private jokes, shared songs, and those absurd moments that end up becoming important memories.

One potential difficulty is that Sal's traumatic experiences could complicate certain aspects of the relationship. A partner cannot simply erase his pain by loving him, and he shouldn't feel he has to hide his difficulties to protect the other person.

Ideally, both could support each other without losing their own identity.

Henry is Sal's father and one of the most important figures in her life.

Their relationship is marked by the loss of Diane, Sal's mother, and by the effort of both to continue with their lives after that tragedy.

What is their relationship like?

• Important family bond: Henry remains Sal's parental figure as they both adjust to their new situation.
• Shared experiences: the two have to face the consequences of Diane's death.
• Adapting to changes: the move to Addison Apartments represents the beginning of a new stage for both.
• A relationship with real difficulties: the pain of a loss can affect each person differently, so they do not necessarily process what happened in the same way.
  Henry is not simply a supporting character who accompanies Sal. His presence is part of the events that explain the emotional background of the protagonist.

It's important not to assume that we know all of Henry's thoughts or that his relationship with Sal is perfect. History leaves room to interpret how their experiences affect them.

Diane is a central figure in Sal's past. His death during the traumatic event of his childhood changes his life irreversibly.

Although he can no longer accompany him for most of the story, his loss remains a fundamental part of his background.

• Her death is linked to Sal's childhood trauma.
• The loss of her mother is a huge change in her family life.
• Their story helps to understand why traumatic events have so much weight in the narrative.
• We should not assume that we know all the memories or feelings that Sal has about her if the game does not show them explicitly.
  The relationship with Diane is important because of what her loss meant, not just because of the tragedy itself.
  👨 👦 The Family After the Move
  Sal's family life changes when he and Henry begin living at Addison Apartments. The new environment also puts him in contact with Larry and other people who will end up being part of his life.

His family and friends are intertwined in a particular way: some of the people he meets in the building become an essential part of his everyday world.

Lisa is Larry's mother and becomes Sal's stepmother when she and Henry get married.

Their relationship is relevant because the union of both parents transforms the family structure of Sal and Larry: the two boys become half-siblings.

Lisa is part of the adult environment that surrounds the protagonists. However, the game does not develop in the same detail an individual relationship between her and Sal as it does between Sal and Larry.

For this reason, we can say that he becomes part of his family, but it would be speculative to affirm that they have a particularly intimate relationship or to attribute to him conversations and behaviors that do not appear in the story. Larry deserves a section of his own because he is probably Sal's most important link outside of his immediate family.

Their relationship begins as a friendship at Addison Apartments. Later, when Henry and Lisa get married, they also become half-siblings.

How do they get along?

• They are very confident: they share information, adventures and difficult situations.
• They have fun together: Larry brings a good deal of humor to their interactions.
• They cooperate in the face of danger: they investigate strange events and help each other during the events of the story.
• They complement each other: Sal often stands out for his curiosity and ability to connect clues, while Larry brings his own perspective and knowledge.
• They share a family bond: their relationship stops being just a friendship when their parents get married.
  The beautiful thing about their bond is that it does not depend solely on their traumatic experiences. There is also friendship, jokes and everyday moments.

Larry is not simply someone who accompanies Sal during investigations. Their relationship has an emotional weight of its own, and what happens between them is central to the story.

Ashley is a close friend of Sal and an important contributor to the events of the game.

Their relationship combines friendship, trust and cooperation. There is also a romantic dimension to their bond, especially as the story progresses.

How he relates to Sal:

• He participates in research and important events with him.
• He gets involved in the mysteries surrounding Sal and his group.
• Your relationship develops through shared experiences, not just romantic conversations.
• It has an important presence in Sal's life, even when circumstances become difficult.
  Ashley also has initiative and a personality of her own. He is not simply a character whose role is to take care of Sal: he makes decisions and actively participates in the story, Todd is one of Sal's friends and an important part of the group.

They are intelligent, technically savvy, and contribute to investigations, especially when technology-related tools or explanations are needed.

What does he bring to his relationship with Sal?

• Intellectual cooperation: both can work together to understand strange events.
• Practical confidence: his knowledge and skills complement Sal's investigative capabilities.
• Teamwork: Todd does not need to be identical to Sal to contribute to his goals.
• A friendship based on shared experiences: the events of the game cause the group to have to face increasingly complex problems.
  Don't assume that Todd and Sal always think alike. The important thing is that their differences in knowledge and skills can come in handy when working together.

Travis is a character with a much more complicated relationship with Sal and the group.

At first, he is characterized by his hostile behavior and by his conflicts with other characters. Your family history and your own struggles influence how you present yourself to others.

The relationship between Travis and Sal is not a simple friendship from the beginning.

• There is tension and distrust in their first interactions.
• Travis may behave aggressively or unpleasantly.
• As more is known about his story, his character acquires a more complex dimension.
• His relationship with Sal is part of a larger story about suffering, secrets, and the consequences of people's actions.
  It's important to distinguish between understanding Travis' struggles and justifying the harm he may cause. Their background allows us to better understand the character, but it does not automatically make their behaviors acceptable. Gizmo is Sal's pet and an everyday presence in his life.

Although she doesn't have a human relationship with him, his presence helps show another side of the protagonist: his life isn't made up solely of paranormal investigations and scary events.

The relationship with her cat also contributes to making Sal's world feel more personal. Gizmo is part of her home and her routines, far from the great mysteries of the plot

The group works because each person brings something different. Not all of them have the same personality or the same skills, but their differences allow them to face situations that would be more difficult to solve individually.
Character What he brings to the group Relationship with Sal
Larry Humor, initiative and companionship. His best friend and stepbrother.
Ashley Initiative, collaboration and closeness. Close friend with a romantic dimension.
Todd Technical knowledge and reasoning. Friend and collaborator in the investigations.
Travis Conflicts and a complex personal history. Initially hostile and complicated relationship.

What role does Sal play among his friends?
Sal is one of the main promoters of the research. His curiosity leads him to look for answers and pay attention to details that may be important.

But it is not the only one that contributes to solving the problems. He needs the collaboration of his friends, and they also have their own capacities and initiatives.

The group isn't perfect either: there are conflicts, secrets, and situations that test their trust. Precisely for this reason, their relationships have more depth than a friendship in which everyone permanently agrees.

The overall shape of the face
Sal suffered a severe facial injury during the attack in his childhood. His prosthetic hides much of the damage, so we don't know exactly what his face looks like without it.
Fandom+1

If we imagine his face based on the known details, it would have:

• A noticeable facial asymmetry, especially on the right side.
• Scars that would alter the normal contour of some areas.
• A jaw with a visible irregularity.
• Differences between both sides of the face due to the injury.
  This does not mean that all of his features were equally deformed. The damage is concentrated in certain areas.

2. The mouth and lips
   This is one of the most characteristic parts of the descriptions of his face.

• Right side of the mouth: presents an extensive diagonal scar.
• Lips: the injury affects the normal continuity of the lips on that side.
• Symmetry: the mouth may look uneven when at rest or when smiling.
• Expressions: smiling, speaking, or moving the lips could make the asymmetry more evident, depending on how the tissue has healed.
  Some community descriptions indicate that the scar crosses the lips and leaves part of the teeth exposed. However, the game does not offer a complete and detailed view that would allow for confirmation of all these anatomical aspects.

The cheeks
Scars are described on the left cheek as well as in other areas of the face.

• The left cheek would have a visible scar.
• There would also be smaller marks scattered across the face.
• The skin texture may be uneven in the affected areas.
• Some scars may be lighter, darker, or sunken than the surrounding skin, although the game does not specify their exact colors or textures.
  We cannot say for sure that his entire face is covered in scars. That would depend on an artistic reconstruction.

4. The nose
   Descriptions of his appearance indicate that he lost his nasal cartilage.
   Fandom+1

This is important because cartilage helps maintain the shape and support of the nose.

If we imagine the consequences of an injury of that magnitude, his nose could present:

• An irregular or partially sunken shape.
• Less support at the nasal tip.
• Asymmetry in the external structure.
• Scar tissue around the injured area.
  Important: We cannot determine exactly what shape his nose would have or how much tissue he would retain based solely on visual information from the game. 5. The jaw
  A cleft or depression on the right side of the lower jaw is also described.
  Fandom+1

This could cause:

• The outline on that side looked irregular.
• The jawline was not completely uniform.
• The lower part of the face appears asymmetrical.
• The area of ​​the mouth and jaw will show differences between both sides.
  That doesn't necessarily mean Sal couldn't speak or eat. In fact, he is known to be learning to manage with his prosthesis and to remove it in private.

The right eye

Sal has an ocular prosthesis on his right side. It's not the same as his facial prosthesis: they are two different things.

The left eye

It's his natural eye.

The exact appearance of the eyelids, eyebrows, and tissue around the eyes without the facial prosthesis is not fully established in the game.
