Unused Ashley model

Ashley Graham is a character that has so far only appeared in Resident Evil 4 and its remake.

Development history[]

Early development[]

What became Ashley is a presently unknown character referred to by Yasuhisa Kawamura as "Girl". "Girl" was the second playable character for the "Castle", "Hallucination" and "Zombie" builds of the game. At the time she was to be a test-subject who escapes the underground lab beneath Spencer's castle with the aid of a B.O.W. dog trained to follow her orders. The "Castle" game script written by Kawamura and Noboru Sugimura was discarded after TGS 2002, with Kawamura staying on to do a new script using the same story. This version was eventually abandoned entirely in late 2003 when Shinji Mikami took over as director, and Girl became the First Daughter and the main objective for Leon Scott Kennedy. Sugimura meanwhile donated the "Castle" build script to the developers of Haunting Ground, with "Girl" becoming Fiona Belli.

Resident Evil 4[]

For her Resident Evil 4 design, her earliest known one consisted of a checkered scarf, a red jacket, brown gloves, a belt, black pants and brown boots. This was replaced with Ashley's standard design sometime in 2004, but data for it was present in trial editions. Another beta version of the final Ashley in the pre-release "beta" versions of the game had a rather longer hair and wore blue panties as indicated in released screenshots and trial edition data.

In the finalized version of Resident Evil 4, Ashley wears an orange, sleeveless turtle-neck sweater with a burgundy sweater around her neck. She also wears a green, plaid skirt, white panties, and knee-high brown, buckled boots. If the player beats the game and selects the "Special" costume where Leon wears his RPD uniform on the next play, Ashley will wear a revealing white pop star outfit.

If the player clears the minigame Separate Ways, they can unlock a second special outfit. Leon wears a mafia costume, and Ashley is given a suit of armour, which protects her from any harm from enemies and Leon himself. The Special 1 costumes (RPD and popstar) do not appear in cutscenes in the PS2 and 2007 PC versions, where they will wear their default outfits due to the use of pre-rendered cutscenes.
