** In ''4'' she wears a red, floor length halter dress with butterfly embroidery. This doesn't stop her from performing parkour or killing enemies. Her default costume in the remake doesn't qualify, but you can also unlock her original costume's modern updated version which does, as it doesn't do anything to hinder her capability.



* LadyOfWar: Ada is the most consistently elegant woman in the entire franchise and an incredibly skilled mercenary. Her fighting style is equally elegant, using speed and acrobatics in order to take on much larger and tougher opponents.

* SecondLove: Though they're aware that their relationship is complicated, Leon pines for her after his breakup with his first girlfriend in the original games. Averted in the remakes of ''2'' and ''4'', where Leon has no such prior backstory, and his initial attraction towards Ada ends up turning sour once he realizes she's been manipulating him the whole time. Although there's still small hints of attraction between them, the two are no longer on good terms as of the 2023 remake of ''4''.

* MadeOfIron: As per Resident Evil protganist tradion, Ada is one tough girl to kill. She has canonically suffered gunshot wounds, falls, and explosions that could easily kill a normal person, yet she comes back kicking. Best shown in Umbrella Chronicles which takes place 2 days after the end of 2 where after all of the aforementioned events she's still capable of fighting her way out of Racoon City.

* GrapplingHookPistol: Ever since ''4'', part of Ada's kit is her grappling pistol, which has helped her navigate both quickly and efficiently and gets her out of tight spots. She's also capable of using it offensively to trip up enemies. In the remake of ''4'', she can use the grapple to close the distance between her and a stunned enemy to deliver a flying kick, and a charm she can buy from the Merchant lets her use it to rip away enemy shields. Chronologically, Wesker first gifted it to her as her only means of escaping ''Raccoon City'', which could explain her fondness for it since.

* DeadlyScratch: In ''Separate Ways'' of the remake, Ada is injured by one of Pesanta's projectiles. [[spoiler:Though initially dismiss it as a [[OnlyAFleshWound minor injury]], the projectile actually carries a Las Plagas payload in it, infecting Ada with the parasite.]]



* OneWomanArmy: She's practically the female counterpart to Leon in this regard. Some of her most impressive feats include: escaping Raccoon City on her own half-dead, tearing through the undead hordes, loose B.O.W.S., and a Tyrant R; fighting off the last stand of Saddler's armada composed of hundreds of men and a warship, obliterating them all.

* DecoyBackstory: Chapter 4 of the novelization of ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheUmbrellaChronicles The Umbrella Chronicles]]'' begins with Ada retelling her childhood to Leon shortly after meeting him. According to her, she was born in Saigon during the Vietnam War to a wealthy Chinese family. Her family had to flee to the United States when she was three and were cheated out of their fortunes by the man who smuggled them into the country. What she doesn't tell him is that the entire story is a fabrication she told to test how gullible he was. Her true backstory remains [[ProtagonistWithoutAPast unknown]].

** The ending of 2023'S ''Separate Ways'' remake also clarifies her stance on Wesker's plan. While the original version of ''4'' implies at worst her complicity in Wesker's final solution, the remake version makes it clear that she does have standards and ultimately refuses to hand over the Las Plagas amber to Wesker to try and stop him from eradicating billions of human lives.

Added DiffLines:

* TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: Ada is the feminine to Claire's tomboy. While Ada is more girly in appearance; wearing dresses, high heels, and obvious makeup, she is also more cold and standoffish to those around her and has much more combat training than Claire. Claire, on the other hand, is a motorcycle-riding tomboy who generally dresses in shirts and jeans and is extremely protective of children, with a soft, maternal side, and is overall a nice person until someone gives her a reason not to be.

** In the underground waterways, Ada would also refuse to swim through the murky water to follow Luis, opting to find a way to drain the entire waterway to walk through it.* NervesOfSteel: One of her most inspiring traits is her strength of will; Ada is ''not'' a woman easily shaken. It's most noticeable in the remake of ''2'' when compared to Leon and Claire, even as a new spy, not once does she ever show external fear of the zombies lunging at her or Mr. X chasing her down the hallway, only exasperatedly replying how much of a persistent bastard he is. It's only ever really subverted in her ending in ''6'' when she emotionally breaks down while destroying Carla's laboratory.

Ada is shown shoots down a hanging treasure into a pit of manure in the farm, she re-evaluates just how much she needs the treasure and refuses to absolutely pick it up.

** The Leon B route of ''2'' ends with her being thrown around like a ragdoll and slammed into a control unit. Her injuries are so grevious she nearly ends up dead. ''Umbrella Chronicles'' shows just how extensive her injuries from ''2'' are. Most of her body is covered in bandages, including an eyepatch, her dress is torn in multiple places, and she has a noticeable limp the entire game.
*** GameplayAndStoryIntegration: She starts the level in Danger health too.
