Alexia Ashford

Alexia Ashford is a fictional antagonist in Resident Evil: Code Veronica X (in Japan called Code Veronica Biohazard). She is a massive employee at Umbrella Corporation and was the discoverer of the T-Veroncia Virus (also known as the T-Alexia Virus).

BACKGROUND

Alexia and her brother, Alfred, were born in 1971 after the Code: Veronica project to create children with the intelligence of the first Ashford clan master. Of the two, Alexia had the massive genius, while Alfred was considered a "useless by-product". Alexia was graduated in University at the top of her class, and she then began work on the T-Veronica Virus in 1981 at the age of ten.

She was hired to head the Antarctic Facility. She, at the time, was the youngest worker of Umbrella, earning William Birkin's jealousy. Within the Antarctic Facility, she studied the ecosystem and behaviour patters of ant queens and their servants, as well as her T-Virus research.

Her first test subject was in 1981. It was her father, Alexander Ashford. The T-Veronica Virus (created by splicing the T-Virus with poison DNA from extinct queen ant DNA) turned Alexander into a horribly disfigured, mutilated monster. His eyes were surgically removed. He had the ability to breath poison gas that the Blue Herb couldn't cure. He also went down to sub-human intellect, and was considered a failure. As such, she and Alfred locked Nosferatur, what Alexander had been called, in an underground prison at the facility.

With no viable subjects, she used herself. She did this and went into cryogenic sleep for 15 years, beginning in 1983. She did this because she had calculated that at such low temperatures, the body would accept the virus. As such, when she woke up in 1998, she could transform and was super strong, but had regained all intelligence. She was also not horibbly disfigured, and rather a humanoid that a zombie.

THE T-VERONICA TRANSFORMATION

After Wesker's raid on Rockfort Island, prisoner's Claire Redfield and Steve Burnside. They made it to the Antarctic Facility, and fought Alexia there. She then began her transformation. Her first turned her into a super humanoid. She gains the ability to throw flames at her opponents. Her second transformation displays the T-Virus trademark (and its relatives) characteristic of inability to adapt to significant amounts of damage. Alexia undergoes massive mutation, but retains her intellect. However, her body primarily degenerates and she turns into a queen ant-like monster, probably due to the T-Veronica Virus' origin of queen ant DNA with the T-Virus. In her second form, she is able to produce imperfect larvae.

Her third transformation makes her lose the oviduct and instead takes to the air with wings, much like a dragonfly. She is invunerable to several firearms and spits vomit that is fire onto opponents. The only weapon capable of destroying her is the Umbrella produced anti-BOW Linear Launcher. This makes her Umbrella's second most powerful Bio-Organic Weapon.

Chris fights her and is able to ultimately destroy her.
