Carla Radames/development

Carla Radames was conceptualized as Ada Wong's doppelganger. She is physically the same as Ada but has unique attire. As she was manipulated into thinking she was the real Ada by Simmons, she wears an outfit that can be considered very 'Ada'. She wears a figure hugging long sleeved dress of a royal blue with a v-neck and a slit down the right leg of the skirt. This is combined with a long red scarf and red belt with a metal oval buckle on the front of it. She also wears black high heeled boots.

The red aspects of the outfit are a nod towards the real Ada, whose primary colour is red. However the blue opposes her ususal colour, perhaps as another subtle hint that this is not the real Ada.

What is known about Carla before she became Ada is only breifly noted upon in the file Carla Radames.

Prior to her transformation into Ada, Carla is seen to have long blonde hair. She is shown to care a great deal for Simmons, placing her hands on his shoulders in a considerate manner.

Indeed, Carla was willing to do anything for him, wanting to "make Simmons Proud." She is shown to be incredibly intelligent, finishing a doctorate course in genetics at fifteen and eventually creating the C-virus. Her virus was used to realize Simmons desire to create another Ada Wong with Carla serving as the final subject. Carla had believed herself safe from his clutches, believing he valued her work too much to risk using her as a subject.

Carla Radames ceased to exist the day Simmons used her as a test subject and she became Ada Wong. Simmons depraved fantasy of having 'Ada' had been realized, so he trained and treated her as if she were the real thing. Carla became Ada, not only phiscally but mentally as well.

During Resident Evil 6. Carla behaves excatly like the real Ada, using the hookshot on multiple occasions with skill and possessing Ada's personality and ability. She appears to be more malicious that Ada however, her cruelty shown during her encounters with Chris, killing his team mates and taunting him over their deaths.

Her mutation presents Carla as mentally unstable, beliving herself to be the real Ada Wong. She summons life-sized clones of herself, greatly resembling Ada. Her mentallity is shown to be severly damaged during the fight. She calls for Simmons multiple times and continues to scream at Ada. She embodies the mad scientist cliche, desiring the destruction of the entire world as she knows this is what Simmons and his Family wish to prevent.

Carla's character embodies multiple traits. For the most part she is nearly identical to the real Ada Wong. Being her exact copy, she retains an element of mystery about her with a certain refined elegance. Like Ada, she is smart and often quick witted. However she also brings forth a sinister element with her desire to unleash the C-virus on the world. Her character becomes darker than the real Ada due to her realizing what Simmons did to her. Despite this she still belived herself to be the real Ada, retaining the idea even during her mutation. Her character can be seen in a tragic light; her initial desire to make Simmons proud lead to him using her as a subject and rewriting her entire person. When she realized what her had done, she seethed with revenge as Simmons had taken her sense of self. This also lead to her contacting the Real Ada Wong. Why she did this is uncertain, although it is possible she wanted to kill Ada so she could be the only one, or she wanted the real Ada to save her.
