Allyson

Help! Somebody Help Me!

Allyson was a woman attacked by several Majini and implanted with a Type 2 Plagas.

Biography
Allyson arrived in Kijuju around November with her boyfriend. There, she met Adam; a miner. During a date, a man in sunglasses was complaining in the bar over foreigners living in the region, and that the Kijuju natives must drive out the "invaders". His views led to a bar fight in which Adam and Allyson escaped and hid. The next morning, Allyson told Adam that she would be leaving with her boyfriend.

Attempting to escape
While Kijuju began to shift into madness and Adam began to ostracize himself within his home, Allyson returned to him again for protection. Sleepless, fearful of the situation that had presented itself and unable to find her boyfriend; she takes up residence with Adam. However, as the situation outside began to worsen, the relationship between the two became strained with Allyson becoming frustrated with Adam's seeming lack of interest in their escape. During the night, Allyson escaped into the streets of Kijuju searching for escape on her own leaving a regretful Adam alone with his fears.

Abduction
After Chris and Sheva heard DeChant calling for backup, they witnessed her abduction. She was thrown on the floor behind a fence as the two watched. She tried to crawl away, but was grabbed from the hair by a Caucasian Majini and dragged away. Allyson and the Majini had disappeared from view by the time the two BSAA members arrived behind the fence.

Death
Later she was seen bursting through a balcony door, calling for help, only to be pulled back inside by the same Caucasian Majini who abducted her earlier. The agents hurried up to the building to save her. She fell against Chris, seemingly in exhaustion. As Chris attempted to comfort her, Allyson gripped a strap on his back as the parasite expelled from her mouth reaching toward Chris and wrapping its petal like lips around his face. Sheva shot at the now infected Allyson, she jumped back, evading the bullet, and then went on to attack the two of them.

She was shot in the head by the two agents, but then a Cephalo-type Plaga erupted from her throat (this was the first Cephalo encountered in the game series, and the first that the two agents have ever seen). Her body, still controlled by the Plaga, continued to attack the two; After the agents had done enough damage to the Plaga, it exploded, and her body dropped and disintegrated.

Appearance
Dressing as though of upper or middle class; she had long clean blonde hair, clear white skin, and wore a silk dress and sandals. Upon death she had an ivory relief, which you can sell for a high price.

Strategies
She counts as a miniboss, in the same vein as the Chainsaw Majini and Big Man Majini but has slightly more health than Majini (One handgun bullet is enough to blow off her head and reveal the Cephalo), can be blown away with a maxed out Hydra from mid range and survive it, but she still has normal strength. After the Cephalo (Worm-Like razor that emerges from her throat, covering her head) appears she regains her health and now she has a stronger, longer ranged attack. She can be a bit difficult for first time players.
 * To keep her from getting closer shoot her in the leg, this will stop her movement and keep her from grabbing you. (This only works BEFORE the Plagas emerges from her throat).
 * Keep your distance because once the Cephalo appears, she will have a long ranged attack.
 * Once the Cephalo appears, shoot it, not her body. The Cephalo is the actual parasite, shooting the body instead will do little to no damage.
 * Once the Cephalo appears she can move and attack at the same time, and now shooting her in the leg won’t halt her. Keep shooting the parasite and keep a distance.
 * Do note that soon after the fight has started, Majini will start to appear through each of the two doors leading into the building, disposing of her quickly, or getting into a more open space is recommended.
 * After the Cephalo appears, you can kill it by using a flash grenade.
 * You can prevent fighting the Cephalo by using the neck breaker (Chris), or the throat slit(Sheva).
 * You also can prevent fighting the Cephalo if you kill her by using a stun rod or rocket launcher.

Trivia

 * In Chris's Epilogue, Chris look at a young woman of the same age of Clarie Redfiled that is blonde and white, it could be possible that woman is Allyson and in a ironic twist she died in the hands of Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 5.
 * Allyson's role had been a mystery stemming from her first appearance in an early image of Chris holding her body as she lean weakened against him. It was highly speculated on her actual role, many believing her to be Sherry Birkin from Resident Evil 2. However, such speculation was denied by Jun Takeuchi as it was stated that Sherry Birkin's appearance in Resident Evil 5 was nothing but a rumor.
 * It is possible to kill Allyson without making the plagas erupt by killing her with the Stun Rod, Rocket launcher, Neck Breaker, or Throat slit.
 * It is possible to shoot Allyson and the Majini next to her when you first see them, but they will never die in that point.
 * Allyson is the only Cephalo who will drop treasure upon death.
 * She appears in The Mercenaries Reunion in the Public Assembly stage, dying only by destruction of her Cephalo.
