History Characters / FirstEncounterAssaultReconMainAntagonists

* LeakingCanOfEvil: She's so strong that even when she was still locked up in the Vault, a TailorMadePrison meant to keep her sealed away in both life and death, she still managed to influence the area around her to a lesser, yet still unnervingly powerful extent. All the paranormal activity the Point Man witnesses as he journeys through the facility is all her doing despite being imprisoned at the time.
* MamaBear: She ''really'' doesn't like people messing with her children. [[spoiler:Her entire reason for sparking the Replica rebellion was in revenge for Armacham stealing Paxton and the Point Man. It's also implied she killed Jankoweski just for mildly criticizing the Point Man.]]

* NonActionBigBad: Downplayed and justified. Although he's willing to get his own hands dirty, Fettel never actually fights the Point Man himself in the first game and is usually seen killing defenseless Armacham staff or letting the Replica do the heavy lifting. He's killed rather easily when the Point Man finally tracks him down at the end of the game. However, since his death would put an end to his entire rebellion, Fettel likely knew not to put himself in unnecessary risk if he had disposable cloned soldiers to do that for him. He becomes much more hands on in the third game after returning as a powerful revenant with enhanced psychic abilities.

* TheDreaded: ''Alma'' is afraid of it. [[spoiler:Because it's the mental representation of [[ArchnemesisDad her father]].]]

* TeleportSpam: It's main fighting tactics throughout the game until the end,[[spoiler: where it decides to [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever have a growth spurt]] and come at you with pure brute strength]]

* OedipusComplex: [[spoiler:He hates his creator, Harlan Wade, though not without good reason. His ending in ''F.3.A.R.'' implies that ''he'd'' have fathered Alma's child if Becket hadn't already - adding a really disturbing dimension to his killing of Becket.]]

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Alma is barefoot in her child form, even in flashbacks of her past daily life (granted, they often show her in her grass-covered HappyPlace, so it isn't too weird for her to go unshod), and when she appears as a ghost the trait is completed with FootprintsOfMuck to make a point in creepiness. Eventually, she stops wearing [[FullFrontalAssault anything else]], either. Averted, however, by her teenage form in the third game, who wears black shoes along with her sleeveless dress.

* OedipusComplex: [[spoiler:He hates his father, Harlan Wade, though not without good reason. His ending in ''F.3.A.R.'' implies that ''he'd'' have fathered Alma's child if Becket hadn't already - adding a really disturbing dimension to his killing of Becket.]]

* NakedNutter: Alma Wade remains completely naked in her adult form, and it's specifically stated that she'd been driven insane by her own powers long before she was locked in a vault for most of her life. For the most part, the only reason why she remains nude is because she was kept that way in the vault (and because it's pretty damn creepy). However, the second game in the series gives her a very good reason for being naked: [[spoiler: she's lusting after Beckett, and goes so far as to rape him in the finale.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: It would not be an exageration to say she wants to kill the entire world in revenge for what Armacham did to her. The only people she doesn't actively try to kill are [[spoiler:her children and Becket]]. Even then, her sheer hatred still inadvertently harms them just through [[PowerIncontinence mere presence]].

* EldritchAbomination: She is ''horrifically powerful'', can [[GoMadFromTheRevelation turn people]] AxCrazy and make them worship her as a god, as the cultists can dictate in ''F.E.A.R 3''. She can also [[MookMaker spawn various other abominations]] throughout the Almaverse.

* TheDreaded: Everyone at Armacham who was involved with Project Origin is rightfully scared shitless of her. Norton Mapes is so terrified of the thought of her being released from her grave advocates, he advocates ''nuking the city of Fairport'' as being a better option.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: "Paxton" is a very uncommon name or surname in real life, while "Fettel" is apparently made up, but they together sound quite imposing.

* PsychopathicWomanchild: Her powers were always hard on her, even as a child. Being locked in a vault and forced into a coma at eight-years-old, subjected to experiments and forced insemination and birth (twice), then seeing her children dragged away from her before she could so much as hold them in her hands, ''then'' left in the dark to drown in the vault - all these traumatic experiences left her emotionally stunted, knowing only a very limited set of primal urges. One is '''rage''', causing her to lash out at what she perceives as a threat (which is almost everything). And, unfortunately for one Michael Becket, another is [[spoiler:an aggressive urge to sexually reproduce, which sees her raping him in order to conceive another child]]. It's easy to read her as an abuse victim with apocalyptic psychic power, and the developers of FEAR 2 actually described her as such.

* TheHecateSisters: In the second game, her three forms conform to the triplicate imagery - her child form (the maiden), her real emaciated form (the crone) and her attractive and healthy form (the seductress [[spoiler:that becomes the mother, complete with heavily pregnant belly]]). She winds up switching between them as her mood and whims dictate.
