Apart from the iconic main characters like Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and even Leon Kennedy, Ada Wong is in fact also a favourite Resident Evil character.

Reasons why Ada Wong is a Favorite Resident Evil Character
1. Mysterious Background
The first reason why Ada Wong is a fan-favorite Resident Evil character is because of her mysterious background.
Indeed, we know that Ada is a spy and mercenary. She also works with many clients who can benefit her. Even RE’s iconic villain Albert Wesker was once her client.
Then we learn that she was once trained in her spy skills by the Chinese Crime Syndicate. Of course we also know she has an “inconsistent” love story with Leon S. Kennedy.
Yes, all of that again we know. But those are all the visible or not the more personal background details. His further origins such as date and place of birth, his nationality, whether Ada Wong is his birth name, and even his parents we never know.
Even Leon, who has been with her three times in the game and in one animated film, Resident Evil: Damnation (2012), still don’t know who Ada really is. But it is precisely this mysteriousness that makes us continue to be interested in this one character.
It’s like having a crush on someone. Which one makes us more interested? Girls or guys who are always open (open) or we can really guess how their characters are or who make us always curious? Yep, that’s right. The answer is the second one.
2. Beautiful and Sexy
The next reason why Ada Wong is a fan-favourite Resident Evil character is that she is beautiful and sexy.
Well, it’s true isn’t it? Okay, beautiful and sexy is a very subjective view. But it seems that for a figure like Ada, the subjectivity becomes an objectivity, right?
Not to mention some of the voice actors, always successful in displaying their sexiness. Oh yes, one more thing, the long red dress also makes the heat and dag dig dug itself.
3. Badass
Okay, Ada is once again a beautiful and sexy figure. But behind that “delicious” look, she also successfully proved her toughness as a survivor and fighter in the RE franchise.
Evidently, he can fight. His back kicks and “fan” kicks have succeeded in making all the zombies fall apart. Then he also has a series of crazy weaponry.
He has a hookshot or grapple gun which, like Batman, is used to move from place to place. Then, he also has a dart gun which, although very simple, is very effective (read: no need for bullets).
4. Always Supports Himself
As I explained in the first point, the figure of Ada is a figure who does not have a dominant alliance. Indeed, from her debut, she seems to support or be on the side of Leon, aka the protagonist.
But that’s not the case, is it? Leon was often betrayed by Ada. But fortunately in Resident Evil 6 (2012), knowing her nature, Leon was much more mature in dealing with her.
Now because of this nature, he once again always works with more than 1 client. Anyway, if the pay is good, he will help the client regardless of whether the mission is morally wrong or not.
5. Classic RE Scenario
The reason why Ada Wong is the ultimate fan-favorite Resident Evil character. Because of her mysterious and much-loved figure, it’s no wonder that she eventually got her own screenplay.
It all started in Resident Evil 4 (2005) where we would get the individual scenarios after we successfully completed the game’s main scenario. The individual scenario is titled “Separate Ways”.
Then in RE6, to play the scenarios, we must first complete the game’s 3 main campaigns/scenarios: Leon & Helena, Chris & Piers, and Jake & Sherry.
Now even though we have to struggle like that, when we finally get the scenario, all the hard work feels super worth it.
Apart from the crazy weaponry it has, the scenario also makes us RE fans remember the early RE games. Specifically, we only play one character (alone) and complete the entire game alone (including puzzles).
Indeed, at the same time, it makes us feel sick to our stomachs. But isn’t that the point of the SURVIVAL HORROR genre?
Okay guys, those were the 5 reasons why Ada Wong is the fans’ favourite Resident Evil character. Hopefully this discussion is useful!
