Angela "Angie" Ashford (played by Sophie Vavasseur) is the daughter of the T-Virus creator Dr. Charles Ashford. She is based on the video game character Sherry Birkin from Resident Evil 2. The surname of Ashford is derived from the Ashford family that played a prominent role in the plot of Resident Evil Code: Veronica. Angela makes her first appearance in Resident Evil: Apocalypse, however, there is no mention of her in Resident Evil: Extinction, leaving her fate in the films unknown. The Red Queen, a holographic AI computer, from Resident Evil, was created by her father to bear a likeness to Angela. Not much is known about her, except the fact that she, like her father, is English.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
In Apocalypse, it is explained that Angela has the same medical condition as her father, Dr. Charles Ashford, which would have resulted in spending the remainder of her life confined to a wheelchair. This is prevented, though when her father created the T-virus, which in most human beings would cause uncontrollable mutation. The reproduction of dead cells that the T-virus causes is enough to allow Angela to walk, if kept in check with regular injections of an anti-virus. Due to her father's high position within the Umbrella Corporation, Umbrella employees evacuate Angela and attempt to get her out of the city after the opening of The Hive releases a horde of infected. The attempt is unsuccessful, however, and it forces Dr. Ashford to find another way to retrieve her from the city before all evidence of the viral outbreak is destroyed with a nuclear weapon.
Angela's location is soon found by her father, who then proceeds to find other survivors in order to make a deal with them. Dr. Ashford finds the few remaining survivors, including: Alice, Jill Valentine, L.J. and Carlos Olivera. He explains he is capable of getting them out, but only if they retrieve Angela and bring her to him safely. Angela is eventually saved, and reunited with Dr. Ashford for a few moments before he is shot and killed by Major Timothy Cain. Angela leaves the city on an Umbrella helicopter, along with Alice, Jill, Carlos and L.J.. She is almost impaled by a metal shard that had detached from the helicopter's gun rack when the explosion of the nuclear weapon occurred, but is saved when Alice moves in front of the shard of metal, killing herself instead of Angela. She last appears in Apocalypse when Jill, Carlos and L.J. pose as covert Umbrella operatives in order to rescue a revived Alice from Umbrella's labs.
Resident Evil: Extinction
In the Resident Evil: Extinction film, Angela is no longer featured nor mentioned. In the novelization, however, it is revealed that Alice killed her while under the control of Doctor Isaacs as a test of Alice's programming.
