The youngest characters in Dead by Daylight are Quentin Smith, Laurie Strode, and Cheryl Mason, all of whom are tied as the youngest Survivors in the Entity's Realm, having been 17 years old at the time they were taken.
Understanding the Youngest Survivors
In the vast and terrifying universe of Dead by Daylight, the Entity gathers individuals from various walks of life and timelines. Among these countless victims, a specific trio stands out for their shared youth, enduring the trials of the Fog from a remarkably young age.
- Quentin Smith: Pulled from the harrowing events of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Quentin was a high school student relentlessly pursued by Freddy Krueger when he was ensnared by the Entity. His struggle against perpetual nightmares continued in the Entity's realm. You can learn more about Quentin Smith here.
- Laurie Strode: The iconic final girl from the Halloween franchise, Laurie was an ordinary teenager living a quiet life before Michael Myers shattered her peace and the Entity claimed her. Her resilience against pure evil made her a prime candidate for the trials. Discover more about Laurie Strode here.
- Cheryl Mason: Known from the psychological horror series Silent Hill, Cheryl (formerly Heather Mason) had already endured immense trauma and supernatural encounters from a young age. Her unique connection to the Otherworld made her a compelling choice for the Entity. Explore Cheryl Mason's story here.
These three Survivors share the unique distinction of being the youngest to enter the Entity's domain. Each was just 17 years old when they were torn from their realities and thrust into the eternal struggle for survival against formidable Killers. Their tender age highlights the indiscriminate nature of the Entity's selections, often targeting individuals at vulnerable or pivotal moments in their lives, regardless of their youth.
| Survivor Name | Age When Taken | Original Franchise |
|---|---|---|
| Quentin Smith | 17 | A Nightmare on Elm Street |
| Laurie Strode | 17 | Halloween |
| Cheryl Mason | 17 | Silent Hill |
Despite their youth, Quentin, Laurie, and Cheryl demonstrate incredible fortitude and cunning, navigating the brutal trials with a determination that belies their years. They embody the spirit of survival against overwhelming odds, a testament to the resilience of the human (and supernatural) spirit even in the face of unimaginable horror.
