lily!!

for ada, i feel like a lot of people demonise her for simply doing her job. people focus on re2 specifically, because she lied about being fbi and threatened to shoot leon for the sample. it’s obvious she didn’t want to go to such extremes, but she had to. she wasn’t going to put her job on the line for a man she met that night and would most likely face severe reproductions if she didnt. we don’t know much about adas job, but it’s best to assume it’s shady and dangerous. it wasn’t like she left leon to fend for himself, she survived the fall and still made sure he got the rocket launcher to defeat the tyrant when she could’ve just left for her own safety. I don’t think most people have seen this resident evil nemesis ada epilogue (link sends you straight to pinterest!) either. it paints ada in a vulnerable light we’ve never seen her in, almost like ada is a role she has to play to get the hard objectives of her job done. throughout of the rest of the games/cgi films, ada has been on her own mission and had her own objectives but still helps leon in his and finds the time to do so. if she didn’t care, she wouldn’t of helped him. she doesn’t fit the ‘kind heroine’ stereotype, so people are quick to judge her.

for claire, i don’t think people see her as a character outside of leon. they simply just see her as someone for him romantically, instead as her own person. she’s had her own missions and has many achievements, yet she isn’t recognised for any of them. she is more than just a potential love interest. shes apart of a human rights agency, providing aid to people who are caught between bioterrorism attacks, she likes motorcycles and is literally an expert of lock picking (like jill but not quite the master hehe)!! she’s loves her brother, and also protected sherry with her life in re2!! also the redfield bloodline jokes are so so so gross…
