"I'm not a little girl. Besides... all my friends call me Angie. "
— To Jill Valentine upon meeting her.

Angela "Angie" Ashford was the only child of Dr. Charles Ashford, the inventor of the T-virus.[1]

History[]

Backstory[]

Because Ashford possessed the same degenerative condition as her beloved father, Ashford was destined to eventually spend the remainder of her life in a wheelchair (when she was younger, she had to use crutches to get around). Her father prevented this by developing the T-virus. While in almost all cases of humans infected with the virus suffering uncontrollable mutation, the reanimation of dead cells that the T-virus caused in her was enough to allow Ashford to regenerate her limbs and walk again if kept in check with periodic injections of an anti-virus.[1]

Raccoon City Incident[]

When the T-virus escaped The Hive and broke out among the population of Raccoon City, Ashford was among the VIP-employee family members chosen for evacuation. To this end, Ashford 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. Its occupants were killed, save for Ashford, and, as such, she was trapped within the city.[1]

Charles Ashford was forced to find another way to retrieve her from the city before all evidence of the outbreak was destroyed via nuclear weapon. Using her personal locator, he tracked his daughter down to her junior high school, where Ashford remained in hiding. To get her out, he 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 Nicholai Ginovaef.[1]

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 Ashford and bring her to him safely.[1]

Ashford was indeed saved, and was reunited with her father, but only for a few moments, as Charles is later shot and killed by Major Cain. Ashford, along with Alice, Valentine, Oliveira and Wayne 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 Ashford.[1]

After Raccoon[]

After surviving the crash, Ashford escaped with Valentine and the others and went into hiding. Three weeks later, Ashford could sense, with her remnant T-virus abilities, that some part of Alice still lived.[citation needed] Despite the growing manhunt for Valentine and Oliveira, they were able to infiltrate another of Umbrella's facilities, posing as covert Umbrella troopers as Alice regained consciousness and escaped the building on her own. As they departed, Ashford (hiding in the back of van) asked Alice if she was all right, but received no response from her. It is unknown what happened to her, as she does not appear in the next films or was mentioned.

Further notes[]

  • In an early draft for Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, it was to be revealed Angela Ashford was an Alice clone, with her father subjected to memory-alteration which would have given him a motive to create the T-virus.
