Lisa's Wiki.
Personality:
With her introduction in the first Silent Hill game, we are only given a glimpse into Lisa Garland's life. She is a frightened nurse who has confined herself to a room for safekeeping, and acts as a source of information for the protagonist. Lisa is relieved to discover another 'normal' human, and so acts rather openly for someone in a survival situation. Even scared out of her wits, she manages a few smiles and freely gives up whatever knowledge Harry needs--even when she doesn't know the reasons behind his questions or doesn't necessarily think it will be useful. Perhaps to put herself at ease, Lisa even allows herself to ramble a bit, though she stops and assures Harry that she will shut up once she realizes it.
The interaction with Lisa becomes progressively weirder, until she eventually comes to the conclusion that she is not a normal person, as she had believing, and just hadn't realized that she was dead yet. Once she admits these thoughts, Lisa's fear and anxiety increase, and she desperately seeks comfort. After being denied this, blood appears and drenches her skin and clothes. Her cries quiet and she disappears until the final moments of Harry's stay in Silent Hill, when she exacts her revenge on Dr. Kaufmann. Whether this is simply because of her now-feral state as a monster or specifically because she harbored resentment for the doctor in her life isn't clear, though her target was.
Through certain documents and a video, a different view of the nurse is provided. While she is certainly helpful and kind-hearted, Lisa isn't quite as innocent as she seems. She was the nurse in charge of caring for the burned and fragile Alessa, but she holds no affection for the girl. Quite frankly, Alessa's powers, though unknown to her, and the combination of the girl's never-healing wounds and lack of death terrified her. She had sympathy, naturally, as anyone would for someone in Alessa's situation, but her heart simply wasn't in the job. Lisa was disgusted and eventually driven mad simply by nursing her charge, and her mental condition deteriorated further when her request to quit was met with the threat of getting cut off from her supply of drugs--more evidence that Lisa is more than she appears to be on the surface. It's unclear how she came to be an addict of PTV, but working with Dr. Kaufmann was her connection to the drug world. It's also assumed that, at least for a time, Lisa had a sexual relationship with the doctor.
With Travis, protagonist of the prequel, Silent Hill: Origins, Lisa is much less the person we see in the first Silent Hill game. She still works as an informative nurse, but she relies on the player less, and doesn't seem quite as endearing. However, it is at this time that we learn something new about the nurse--her dream was to become an actress. Nursing is a bit of a family tradition, and she follows the path with a quiet yearning for her discarded dreams. The change might possibly be due to the fact that the Lisa we are initially introduced to only keeps her humanity because Alessa misinterprets her care as genuine affection. However, it could also be that Lisa simply grew to who she became because of her experiences.

Samples
First Person Sample:
[The feed opens up to...a leg. One might think that perhaps Lisa's dropped her gear again until a soft, cheerful chirp is heard.]
Hap! Happiny, hap!
[It seems this little pokemon's seen others filming their trainers, and wanted to try her hand at it, too! Boy, does she sound proud of herself. With a tiny grunt, the camera's view moves up to a woman's face for the briefest of moments, and then swings alarmingly up to the ceiling accompanied by a panicked squeal.
Oh. Oh, right. Happiny are really round, aren't they?]
Are you okay? You just about gave me a heart attack...
[In a second the gear and the pokemon are picked up. Lisa looks tired, as she often does, with purple-tinted pouches under her eyes.]
If only I had as much energy as my pokemon...
[She offers a weak smile before giving into a yawn.]
Mmn... I don't suppose the nurses here could prescribe sleeping pills. I wonder why the hospitals here are primarily for pokemon... Maybe it has something to do with the whole 'no death' deal. Guess we'll never really know...
[Lisa bends to set the Happiny down again, then straightens as she runs her free hand through her hair and sighs.]
So what do others do when they can't sleep?
Third Person Sample:
Lisa was not okay. She was not okay because she didn't know where she was. She was not okay because she was certain that she should not be there. She was not okay because there was a muddled part of her memory that told her she had indeed turned into the mutated, dead creature she had been sure she had become. She was not okay because her clothes were soaked in blood and she didn't know if all of it was hers.
At least my skin's clean, now, the woman thought to herself, dropping her hands from her face with the relief that there had been no red there, whether dried or fresh. She pulled her sweater tighter around herself in an attempt to keep out the biting weather, though Lisa knew that, with temperatures like this, she wasn't going to last so long in the cold. She had already tried to go back inside--tried explaining to the woman that if she could only stay in her home just a little longer, she would be grateful--but 'Mom' had simply smiled sweetly and sent her off on her journey.
"Journey to where..." Lisa mumbled to herself, glancing down to her shoes. They certainly weren't made for travel. And quite frankly, neither was she. Lisa had never even left her hometown, despite her dreams of a bigger, more glamorous lifestyle.
Eventually, unable to take Johto's winter for much longer, the nurse made her way into the lab. The workers there didn't usher her out, as the woman had done, and Lisa quite happily took a spot off to the side where she could examine her bag and make sense of the situation without getting underfoot of their research. Most of the stuff didn't make much sense to her, though she was able to piece together the fact that some of it was medicine, and one of the technological devices was a communicator. As the blonde picked it up, there was a flash off to the side of her, startling her into dropping the gear.
The creature that had appeared wasn't anything like the monsters she had come across, back in Silent Hill. It was even kind of...cute. And it didn't seem remotely interested in harming her, which was always a plus. As the pink thing waddled closer, a mechanical voice from her gear sounded, 'Happiny, the Playhouse Pokemon. It loves round white things. It carries a round stone in its pouch that looks like an egg, and gives it to people that it likes.'
"Happiny..." the woman murmured thoughtfully, watching as the creature went over to investigate the talking device. A smile quirked at Lisa's lips, and she gently offered it out to the pokemon. "Do you want to play with it? Just don't--" And as if the Happiny were telepathically inclined, it chucked the gear across the lab with a playful giggle. "...throw it."
