Valerie Harmon, BSc. (ヴァレリー・ハーモン, Varerī Hāmon) was a Raccoon City citizen.

Biography

Harmon studied chemistry at Raccoon University, where she hoped to find a career with Umbrella Pharmaceuticals. She may have idolized female chemist Lise Meitner and neurobiologist Rita Levi-Montalcini as she often quoted them. At some point in her educational career, Harmon accidentally mixed the chemicals necessary to make Hydrogen flouride, a dangerously corrosive material. She would later refer to this incident as "the scariest moment of her life". Nevertheless, due to her excellent grades and impressive dissertation on "healing technology", she was offered an internship at "NEST2", which she took alongside her Masters course.

During the internship, Harmon discovered that her roommate, another intern, had developed memory problems soon after participating in a top-secret experiment. Harmon was unaware this was a procedure to restrict the spread of information on their t-Virus Project, and her investigation got the attention of the Intelligence Division soon after. Harmon was abducted and forced to participate in experiments to test the effectiveness of mutants.

Gameplay

Harmon is a "Support"-type Survivor who originally had 1200 (changed to 1100 with the 1.06 update), with special abilities aimed towards helping others rather than herself. Harmon's unique abilities are "Survival Instinct" and "Modified First Aid Spray". The former gives Harmon a sharp eye, and she can mark items in a room for others to see, a mechanic also seen in Resident Evil: Revelations 2. The latter ability is used to both heal injured players in the vicinity of Harmon as well as to temporarily buff up the stats of others. Valerie has 10 spaces for items, more than others with only 8 spaces, except Martin Sandwich .

Further notes

• It is implied that the amnesiac roommate in question is Yoko Suzuki. However, Suzuki was a former researcher under William Birkin at the NEST proper, not NEST 2, and the incident in which her memories had been wiped occurred over two years prior to the Raccoon City Destruction Incident rather than shortly before it.
