Resident Evil Ada Wong
Who is Resident Evil’s Ada Wong?
Ada Wong’s early life remains a complete mystery, and Ada Wong isn’t even her real name, it’s just a pseudonym. She’s known to be Asian-American and has spent years working as a secret agent and become embroiled in several bio-weapon incidents, namely the events of several Resident Evil games. She seems to be acting for several different organisations, but is almost always working to further her own agenda, though what that is exactly is not explicitly stated.
First appearing in Resident Evil, it appears Ada Wong works to uncover and steal or sell artefacts associated with bio-weapons, and while she can be cold-hearted, she ultimately works to assist heroes like Leon Kennedy as they set out to destroy the zombie menace. Similarly, in Resident Evil 4 she might not be working alongside Leon, but she’s happy to help him. Ada Wong even has her own missions in Resident Evil 4 where you can actually control her.
Resident Evil Ada Wong’s personality
Stoic, quiet, but prepared for a fight, Ada Wong might be mysterious but that doesn’t make her meek or shy. Instead, she acts exactly how you would expect a secret agent to, speaking with a cool and collected confidence, choosing her words carefully, and only giving out information when absolutely necessary. She also seems to love her job, which is just as well because she is a very good secret agent.
