Biography[]

Early life[]

Angela is born with the same degenerative condition as her father Charles Ashford with her destined to be spending the remainder of her life confined to a wheelchair. This degenarative condition is stopped with her father's discovery of the T-Virus with the reanimation of dead cells that the t-Virus caused in her was enough to allow Angela to regenerate her limbs and walk again if kept in check with periodic injections of an anti-virus.

Raccoon City[]

When the t-Virus escaped The Hive and broke out among the population of Raccoon City, Angela was among the VIP-employee family members chosen for evacuation. To this end, Angela was immediately pulled out of her class at school by Umbrella security personnel and attempted to get her out of the city before the infection spread too far. The Umbrella SUV that she was in, however, crashed when it was blindsided by a truck. It's occupants were killed, save for Angela as she was wearing the seatbelt at the time.

When she comes to, She witnes that the driver of the truck was zombified and follows her back into the school. Angela goes back to her school only to witness that the driver bites into the vice principal Rosenthal and Principal Armin. The zombified principal walks into Angela's homeroom class and also bites Strunk, her homeroom teacher and Bobby Bernstein, her tormentor. The remaining kids tried to run into the basement but is met with other zombified workers and soon turn into one. During the entire chaos, all the undead have not taken any interest in her. An truck belonged to Raccoon City Police Department's Canine Unit soon comes crashing into the school with all of the dogs infected.

Her father abandoned the evacuation protocol and remains outside the city's perimeter to assist his daughter in getting out of the city before all evidence of the outbreak was destroyed via nuclear tatical weapon. Charles, using her personal locator, tracked Angela down to her junior high school, where she remains in hiding. To further increase the chance of Angela getting out of the city, Charles found and contacted several survivor groups, including ex-Umbrella security operative Alice, former-S.T.A.R.S officer Jill Valentine along with S.T.A.R.S Sergeant Peyton Wells, disgraced Raccoon 7 news reporter Terri Morales, small-time thug Lloyd Jefferson Wayne and Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service commandos Carlos Olivera and Nikolai Sokolov. After explaining that Umbrella will detonate a nuclear device on Raccoon at sunrise, covering up the infection and killing all witnesses caught in the blast, he brokered a deal with the surviving parties contacted. Charles would arrange for them to escape on the last helicopter out of the city, but only if they would retrieve Angela and bring her safely.

After the chaos, Angela realizes that whatever her dad had injected into her was also responsible for the outbreak and is sure on this possibility. Angela witness Carlos and Sokolov, Jill, Terri and LJ have enter the school and decides to go downstairs to see if they could help her. Angela is unable to save Terri but manages to meet Jill, who had came in the room after Terri had been devoured. Jill picked up the camera and leaves with Angela with Jill telling her that she was sent because of her father. Angela is relief to hear of the news. They head for the cafeteria where they are confronted by zombie dogs, Jill is tackled by one of them but is saved by Carlos and Sokolov. Shortly after, Sokolov is killed by other zombie dogs. Angela led Jill through the cafeteria where they are chased by other creatures, Jill turn on each of the stoves and lits a match, throwing it behind her. But the match had went out before it hits the gas. Alice throws a cigarette onto the room and protects them from the explosion. Alice opens up Angela's lunch box which reveals the four syringes containing the anti-virus.

Angela was saved and reunited with her father, but only for a few moments, as Charles is later shot and killed by Major Timothy Cain for Alice's refusal to fight against Nemesis. Angela, along with Alice, Jill, Carlos and L.J. escaped Raccoon on the final helicopter transport, mere seconds before the city was nuked. Alice was killed by loose shrapnel of the helicopter as it crashed, taking the blow meant for Angela. The survivors crawls out the wreckage and witness it from afar as Umbrella investigates the crash site and discovers Alice's corpse. From afar, with her remnant t-Virus abilities Angela announces to the group that she is still alive.

Weeks later, Alice escapes from the Umbrella's San Francisco facility with meeting her fellow RC survivors and picked up due to due to Angela being able to sense her presence. After escaping, She asks Carlos to forge documentary papers to get Alice out of San Francisco with this action resulting the group have to leave California quickly and hide out in an motel located in Idaho. During the survivors discussion on what they can do to prove Umbrella's guilt, given Terri's footage being censured and the news of Raccoon City is covered up with an nuclear power explosion, Angela uses her father's computer programming to upload the camera footage to the Internet without it being traced back to them. The video was quickly taken down but not before inciting suspicion on Umbrella following the San Francisco outbreak due to similar symtomps found on the footage.

After Raccoon[]

After escaping from Raccoon City in 2002, Angela and the others remained in hiding for some time from Umbrella and U.S. Government agents secretly under their employ. Eventually, the global T-virus pandemic began and Angela, Alice, and the others joined up with other survivors into the "Strike Team", a mismatched collection of survivors journeying across the United States saving as many people as they could from the growing Zomboid legions.

It was during combat with Zomboids besieging yet another survivor enclave that Dr. Isaacs tested his cybernetic control over "Project Alice". Isaacs commanded Alice to return to Detroit (one of the few cities protected from Zomboids and mass upheaval) and bring Angela with her at Chairman Wesker's behest. Upon their arrival, however, Isaacs explained that Angela was of no use to Umbrella's research in finding a permanent T-virus cure, as the strain of T-virus she had within her was an entirely different strain from the one sweeping across the globe. As such, Isaacs ordered Alice to kill Angela, which she did so by shooting her in the head which results in her instant death.

Legacy[]

Her death at the hands of mind-controlled Alice causes Alice to be driven with grief as her death still continues to haunt Alice even during sleep and is the main reason for her separation from the rest of the Strike Team following the Detroit Facility incident. LJ, Carlos and Jill eventually heard of Angela's death albeit Jill hearing it through an second account but have never been informed of her cause of death.
