Anderson universe
(Covers information from Anderson's universe)


Terri Morales was a disgraced news reporter for the Raccoon City TV news station "Raccoon 7".

Biography

Information from the R.A. DeCandido novelization, which is not part of the Anderson continuity, is placed here.

Initially Terri was a news anchorwoman for the "Raccoon 7" news network, poised for greatness and to move on to Los Angeles or Chicago for greater journalism jobs.

This was not to be, as, while covering a story on city councilman Miller, a Raccoon City official steeped in corruption, Terri received a video tape from one of her street contacts (DJ McInerney) that revealed Miller taking bribes. McInerney insisted the tape was genuine and Terri aired the story without proving the tape was real.

A quick check proved the tape was fake; when McInerney fled town, Terri was discredited and removed from her position (ironically, Miller was arrested a week later, his corruption was almost ridiculously deeper than mere bribery). Her career in ruins, Terri was demoted to Raccoon 7 weather reporter and was left bitter at her predicament.

At the time of the Raccoon City outbreak, the Umbrella Corporation was about to approach Terri to see if she would accept a position in their public relations department.

Raccoon City incident

When Hive was re-opened on Major Timothy Cain's orders, the T-virus was released throughout Raccoon city. The infection turned its population into the undead and the resulting chaos created a panic among the unsuspecting citizens.

Ever the journalist, Terri used a hand-held digital video camera to record the crisis from a survivor's point of view, hoping to use the event to restart her career and win an Emmy. Terri was present at the standoff at Raven's Gate Bridge along with S.T.A.R.S. Sergeant Peyton Wells and ex-officer Jill Valentine. They later took refugee in Raven's Gate Church, where they meet its priest and another survivor named Angus. It was here where Terri and the others met Alice, who saved them from Lickers.

When they left the church from the back exit, Terri objected to the idea of walking through the church's graveyard. In a matter of seconds, Terri was grabbed by the legs as group was surrounded by undead rising from the grave. Alice and Jill saved her before she was bitten and the group retreated from the grave.

Later, when Charles Ashford offered Terri and her fellow survivors a way out of the city before it was destroyed via nuclear bombing. In exchange for arranging an escape route, Charles wished for his daughter Angela to be found and rescued as well.

Terri accompanied the others to Arklay Overpass, where Nemesis shot and killed Peyton Wells. Terri ran for cover and got separated from the others. She later met back up with Jill, who was attacked by a zombified Peyton. After getting a car started, they went in search of Angela and met Lloyd Jefferson Wayne, who took interest in Terri as being a local celebrity.

Death

At Raccoon City Junior School, Terri, Jill and L.J. split up to search the school. Later, Terri found a girl which she thought was Angela -only to find that the girl was in fact a zombie. Terri, shocked, soon found herself surrounded by the undead school children. Not having the heart to shoot young children and stunned at the horrific sight, Terri hesitated to fire and was soon overwhelmed and killed by the swarm of children.

Legacy

Terri's camera was recovered by Jill and following the destruction of Raccoon City with a nuclear device, Jill and Carlos used the tape in an attempt to expose and reveal the truth of Umbrella's criminal activities. Umbrella however used its vast government and wealth resources to discredit them, and denounced the tape as a fake.

Jill and Carlos were framed as the masterminds of a hoax designed to discredit Umbrella. Eventually, however, Umbrella's duplicity was discovered, but by then the truth meant nothing, since the T-Virus was still released into the wild, causing the Global T-Virus pandemic, leading to the near-total extinction of mankind.
