Ada Wong Ada Wong was a red-clad, cunning and formidable secret agent of Chinese heritage with a mysterious past. Initially a private agent, Ada was drawn into the intrigue and treachery that is the corporate world when she was recruited by The Agency to participate in their activities against their primary rival, the Umbrella Corporation. Ada remained an operative of the organization, even as the battle shifted from the soon defunct Umbrella to the mysterious "S" Corporation, with Ada posing as a double-agent inside the corporation on the Agency's behalf, pretending to work with Albert Wesker and monitor his activities to gain power. Though she was affiliated with unscrupulous and questionable characters and organizations, Ada was shown to have integrity and some measure of mercy and kindness, leaving her true affiliation unknown. Not much is known about Ada Wong's past or motives. What is known is that Ada was a corporate spy working for an unnamed competitor of Umbrella, often referred to as "The Organization" or "The Agency", that intended to procure all sorts of biological weapons and specimens. She was also a trained assassin, who was proficient with several types of weapons and fighting techniques. Presumably, Ada joined the Organization for personal reasons outside of her company's interests, though she has yet to reveal what they are.She was sent to infiltrate the Arklay Research Facility, hidden within the Spencer estate in Raccoon City and was romantically involved with the new head researcher, John, as a means to steal intelligence for her company. John was very serious about his relationship with Ada and even used her name as his computer account's password. John lost his life, due to the T-virus outbreak caused by James Marcus, after writing one final letter to Ada instructing her to get evidence of Umbrella's experiments and expose them to the public - evidently believing in their relationship right up to his death.Ada is a selectable in the "Extreme Battle" extra game in Resident Evil 2 and "The Mercenaries" mini-game featured in Resident Evil 4. She is an unlockable character in both mini-games after the player has met certain requirements. Ada is quite the speed demon in these scenarios, having very fast running speed and very fast shooting speed as well as a deadly combination of weapons fit to compliment her style. In "The Mercenaries", however, she has the least stamina. |

Ada also stars in her own individual minigame in Resident Evil 4, titled "Assignment: Ada" ("Ada, the Spy" in the Japanese version).Ada also had her own epilogue file in the end of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, while her relationship with Wesker is elaborated more in the Wesker's Report Mocumentary. She was also mentioned in the original Resident Evil in a text file from John prior to her first actual appearance. Ada Wong is a playable character in the Resident Evil 4 Minigame The Mercenaries. She is armed with a TMP, the Punisher Handgun, and the Semi-Auto Rifle, as well as three incendiary grenades. Ada is the weakest mercenary, with only 6.5 bars of health, but she makes up for it with good speed and even better firepower. She excels in long range combat, thanks to her upgraded semi-auto-rifle but once enemies close in, Ada is very vulnerable to attack. Ada lacks short range stopping power, and her only chance of escape is to spray a group with her TMP, use her Punisher to attempt to his two enemies at once or try to use her incendiary grenades. She fights very similar to Leon having a fan kick for most enemies and a back kick for enemies on their knees similar to Leon's against villagers. When the stage bosses show up, Ada is quite formidable. The rifle deals enough damage to knock down the Bella Sisters, stagger J.J., and, when at long distance, eliminate Super Salvador with 2-3 shots. However, Ada struggles in the fight with the Garrador. It is hard to focus on it's weak point with Ada's weapons, and the best weapon for fighting the Garrador is her Incendiary grenades. Ada is a woman of Asian descent, sporting a sleek figure and graceful mannerisms. Her official profile in Resident Evil 2 as well as her very name state that she is specifically of Chinese descent. Ada fits the archetype of the stylish and beautiful assassin or "femme fatale". Her signature colour is red. Two out of her three outfits are predominantly red, and in Resident Evil 4's Mercenaries minigame, Ada receives a high amount of incendiary grenades (which are, naturally, red in color). During the "knife fight" in Resident Evil 4 between Leon and Krauser, Ada enters the scene; Krauser simply refers to her as "the bitch in the red dress", showing that her signature colour, red, is well known. In Resident Evil 2, she sports a sleek red one-piece tied with a belt and cut at the upper thigh. She wears darkened stockings on her legs and black shoes. In Resident Evil 4, this outfit is reprised and updated to include a gun belt and additional combat equipment worn over it. In Resident Evil 4 her normal attire is a long, stylish open red dress (known as a Manchurian-Chinese qipao) with a gold design of butterflies on it and a flowing black ribbon worn around her neck that falls down her back. She also has an easily-seen knife belt on her exposed thigh. In her Assignment Ada guise, she wears a much more professional infiltration outfit. Dressed all in black, she sports a tactical vest, combat gear, black pants, and black gloves along with boots. She has a symbol of a red butterfly on a sleeve in this outfit. This insignia seems to be her personal logo as it is also on her normal outfit. The Butterfly is often seen as a symbol of being reborn into something beautiful or free, perhaps this is a hint to Ada's mysterious past. She wears this outfit in the cutscenes of Resident Evil 4 if the player selects the first "Special" costume for themselves. |
