Angela Ashford



Angela "Angie" Ashford is a fictional character from the film Resident Evil: Apocalypse. She is the daughter of the T-Virus's creator, Dr. Charles Ashford. Angela Ashford is played by Sophie Vavasseur. She is not based on any existing character from the games, but draws her surname from the Ashford family that played a prominent role in the plot of Resident Evil Code: Veronica

Angela has the same medical condition as her father, which would have resulted in spending the remainder of her life confined to a wheelchair]. This is prevented, though, with the creation of the T-virus, which in most human beings would cause uncontrollable mutation. The reproduction of dead cells that the T-virus causes is enough to allow Angela to walk, if kept in check with injections of an anti-virus.

In Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Angela is pulled out of her school during the viral outbreak in Raccoon City. Due to her father's high position within the Umbrella Corporation, Umbrella employees evacuate Angela and attempt to get her out of the city before infection spreads. The Umbrella SUV that she is in crashes before reaching the exit from the city, trapping her inside the city and forcing Dr. Ashford to find another way to retrieve her from the city before all evidence of the viral outbreak is destroyed with a nuclear weapon. Angela survives the crash and hides within her junior high school.

Her location is soon found by her father, Dr. Ashford, with a personal locator, who then proceeds to find other survivors in order to make a deal with them. Dr. Ashford, soon finds the few remaining survivors, including: Alice a former Umbrella employee who was experimented on with the T-virus (resulting in super human strength, skills and agility), Jill Valentine a member of the Raccoon Police Department's elite service called the Special Tactics and Rescue Squad or S.T.A.R.S., before being suspended, and Carlos Oliveira a former Umbrella Employee of the U.B.C.S. before being left inside the city without evacuation. He explains that at sunrise Umbrella will detonate a nuclear device, covering the infection and killing everyone caught in it, and he is capable of getting them out, but only if they retrieve Angela and bring her to him safely.

Angela is eventually saved and reunited with Dr. Ashford for a few moments before he is shot and killed by Major Timothy Cain. Angela leaves the city on an Umbrella helicopter, along with Alice, Jill, Carlos and L.J.. She is almost impaled by a metal shard that had detached from the helicopter's gun rack when the explosion of the nuclear weapon occurred, but is saved when Alice moves in front of the shard of metal, killing herself instead of Angela. She last appears in Apocalypse when Jill, Carlos and L.J. pose as covert Umbrella operatives in order to rescue, the now revived, Alice from Umbrella labs. As they leave, Angela asks her, "Are you ok?" but Alice ignores her completely. Alice's eyes then flash an Umbrella logo as they drive off.

In the third movie of Resident Evil she is no longer featured; it is mentioned at the beginning that she was recently killed in a zombie attack.
