#the whole kill order on leon in RE4 which to me always read like a mindgame to test ada's loyalty

[yngai]

a lot about ada's character in resident evil 6 flies over people's heads but i'm always thinking about ada's line as she's about to provide sniper fire & help jake & sherry, "i suppose i should return the kindness their parents showed to me." a lesser pettier woman might've indulged in letting the children of two people who've separately put her through hell suffer as recompense. while i won't say she goes out of her way to offer aid given the only danger she puts herself in throughout the whole exchange is zipping around to whisk sherry to safety & the only reason the ubivsto is chasing after jake & sherry is because ada failed to kill it previously, it does speak to ada's rather wrapped moral fiber, something always shown & never told

#* file // : OOC — ( 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐄 . ) #for reference on being put through hell annette blew her cover and got in her way throughout raccoon city #and wesker tried and failed to make her subservient to him while she spied on his operations #always finding ways to ensure her missions are way harder than they should be (also blowing her cover in south america for example) #the whole kill order on leon in RE4 which to me always read like a mindgame to test ada's loyalty #as wesker was aware she almost compromised her mission in RC for leon's sake and the organization saw it as a betrayal #which was revealed in death's door released two years later so who knows if it was in the mind of RE4's staff #RE is so inconsistent across each game it's hard to tell #the RE4 guidebook just tells you ada appeared out of thin air with no prior history and while she was mistrusted by the organization #they found her the perfect counter to wesker's activities as a double agent
