— Alyssa, after being offered an Umbrella product to treat her headache.

Biography

Life Before the Raccoon City Outbreak

Alyssa2

Alyssa Ashcroft

In 1993, her friend and fellow journalist Kurt went to the north-west Arklay Mountains investigating suspicious deaths in a hospital. During her investigation, she saw Kurt on the floor being eaten alive by a zombified Dorothy Lester.[2] Her memory of the event was suppressed in some way, either by trauma alone or by Dr. Greg Mueller, an Umbrella researcher known for memory modification. Whichever was the case, Alyssa could only remember that there was an accident of some kind which forced the hospital to close.[3]

Outbreak

"I got a weapon. I'm stoked!"

During the 1998 Raccoon City Destruction Incident, Alyssa was confronted by numerous dangerous situations. Overcoming them, she managed to escape from the city before its destruction at the hands of Heaven's Gate's Sterilization Operation.

Alyssa is a canon character in Resident Evil Outbreak File#2 Flashback scenario. In the scenario, she is seen visiting the cabin of Al Lester, who would lead her and the survivors into the Abandoned Hospital. Fighting her way through the horrors of the hospital, Alyssa and the survivors fought Dorothy, a giant plant which consumed the original Dorothy Lester's body and the building around it. As the hospital crumbles, the survivors made it out alive after Dorothy's defeat. Alyssa pondered on the events and nightmares she had experienced along with her memories of Kurt.

After Raccoon City

"I'm fully aware of that, thank you very much. It's all about strength. Physical strength. "

After the Raccoon City incident, Alyssa is seen weightlifting. Afterwards, she is seen sitting down and watching a news report about Umbrella.

She then picks up a newspaper, noticing an article she has written titled "What is a B.O.W.: Blowing the Lid Off this Horrifying Secret Project." The newspaper also shows a picture of her next to the headline, and with a smile, she then returns to weightlifting.

Missing people in Dulvey

At some point, Alyssa moved to Dulvey, Louisiana and became a reporter for the Dulvey Daily. At the start of 2016, she wrote an article surrounding the disappearances of at least twenty people around Dulvey, who had gone missing in a period of two years.

Appearance & Wardrobe

During the Outbreak, Alyssa is a reporter with a "no-nonsense" manner, which suits well with her outfit: short blond hair, closed shirt in red suit and trousers, and brown shoes. It's her trademarked suit that follows most of her time as a field reporter, even during a Flashback.

Alyssa has 4 unlockable alternative costumes:

  • Type B: Street Scene, a jogger set with orange sunglasses.
  • Type C: Midnight Caller, a seductive red dress with black stiletto heels and she has slight resemblances to Alice
  • Type D: Karate Uniform, a white karate gi tied with a black belt.
  • Type E: Victory Road, another type of sportswear set with the exception of a very short bottom and a white cap, instead of the glasses.
