Resident Evil 6 Ashley Graham= Sherry Birkin Theory.

[Storyofmylife]

Made a new thread so we can talk about this. Okay so here's my theory...

The President adopted her after she was taken by the FBI/government, but not before they had wiped her memories to protect her sanity. Leon knew about what had happened to her all along and that's why he went to extremes to protect her in RE4. He knew who she really was but played along with her being Ashley Graham, the president's daughter. They're only 2 years apart and could very well be the same person... Maybe in RE6 Ashley discovers her true identity,and in anger escapes with the mysterious character who's in a similar situation as her.

Also the only explanation I have for the 2 year time diff is the fact that the government wiped away her memory before they knew how old she was and Annette burned all her records. Anywho discuss!

UH
YES.

I have also consideres this possibility some time before.
However, I don't think this is true since the "mercenary" scenario is specifically meant for new RE6 players, so Capcom shouldn't use characters with such a backstory. It might be Sherry (i doubt it), but complicating her story even more would be confusing for new players.

Ahsley has brown eyes and Sherry has green/blue eyes.

Ah, yes you're right. I haven't had too much time to think about the similarities/differences physically. I'm guessing there would be no explanation for the different eye color... Unless she wore... COLORED CONTACTS. haha

The new players over complicate things for the hardcore oldschool fans... Like not re-introducing old characters fans loved and adored for quite some time because it could "confuse" the new fans.

I dont want more spoilers haha you make me think about ashley and sherry a lot xD

I would like to see older characters, but if it happens, I think it's more likely to happen in Chris' or Leon's scenario than in the "mercenary" scenario, based on it being for new gamers.. that's just my opinion though, I might be wrong.

That's so f***ed up it just might be true xD

I mean it's totally something Capcom would do.

Yeah you have really good points. I guess I was just trying to find Ashley's relevance in the series and that was the only theory I could come up with lol. I really didn't see why she had to be introduced in RE4, she was more of a nuisance than anything, but if she were Sherry it'd make a whole lot of sense... Something Capcom doesn't have lately.

 

[Mike Klinglesmith]

Sounds very plausible in my opinon

Haha XD I think if I keep posting crazy theories like this on here people might think I smoke pot or something.

OR WORK FOR CAPCOM.

Maybe this is why Leon denied "Ashley's" "overtime".
Because he's known her since she was twelve.
lolololol.

lolololol.

Wouldn't Sherry remember Leon too, though? Wouldn't there have been this huge: "Hey, you're that guy that hung out with Claire who saved me in Raccoon City that one time..." thing in RE4?

 

[La Femme Fatale]

^ Probably.

It's certainly interesting, but I don't see this as plausible at all.

yes, thats true
this topic initially came up in a recent thread ,
part of the theory is she was brainwashed / memory wiped :

Not if they wiped her memory to keep her from going insane when they initially captured her. That's why she thinks she's Ashley Graham. lol

Another thing that's pretty minor that I just feel like adding :
I remember in RE2 Sherry was quick to run off alone and go do something with dozens of zombie running around. And didn't you notice how Ashley was always trying to help Leon like driving that big bulldozer or crank the platforms out of the water alone.
NO FEAR.
They both have the same level of courage.
Its not really a saying but :
You can raise an animal from birth but it always has it's instinct.
And didn't you see the blonde girl jumpin' off roofs and hopin onto motorcycles?

Meh.

DON'T GIVE UP! Wesker got his own cute eye color change!

It's all part of the new virus they injected her, including the memory loss!

NOT TO MENTION JILL BECAME A BLONDE! **** HAPPENS IN RE!

if new players get confused, use the f****ng internet to do a little research, or even buy the old games.
