Piggybacking on my last post about how underrated and overlooked Resident Evil Zero was, it made me think about game, namely co-main character, Rebecca Chambers and her character background.
When Rebecca is introduced in the original Resident Evil during Chris Redfield’s scenario, we meet the timid and deferential field medic for the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team, who quickly latches onto Chris, and aides him in his quest by being able to mix chemicals as well as (with enough practice) play The Moonlight Sonata on the piano, to solve puzzles.
Little do we realize in RE1 that Rebecca has already been through hell and back at the time she’s introduced, because she had already encountered zombified humans, leeches, apes and other monsters in another mansion/laboratory, with the aid of a marine falsely accused for genocide whom she helped escape execution during the events of RE0.
But forget the fact that by the time you meet her, she’s already an accomplished zombie and monster slayer as well as a survivor; when you meet Rebecca Chambers for the first time, she is 18 years old.
