42Claire Redfield, sister of BSAA legend Chris Redfield, is a prominent human rights activist affiliated with the NGO bioterror relief organization - [=TerraSave=]. She is also notably one of the few survivors of the Raccoon City outbreak, having a storied history with Leon S. Kennedy, with whom she closely cooperated to escape. Following that incident and some [[VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica other]] tragedies, Claire has devoted her life to stopping bioterrorism in a more subdued way compared to the combative paths her friends and family would take. Hot-headed but highly proficient under duress, Claire has managed to succeed against overwhelming odds time and time again.
43----
44* ActionGirl: She survives a T-virus outbreak more than once, takes out a squad of Umbrella security with a flammable tank, and fights her way through the Rockfort military base and an Umbrella facility in Antarctica. While she might not be as heavily active in combat in comparison to Leon, Chris, Jill, or Ada, working for Terrasave has not dulled any of her combat prowess as shown by [[Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration the Hardvardville Airport outbreak]], [[Anime/ResidentEvilInfiniteDarkness attacking a secret service agent trying to capture her in a motel]], [[VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations2 her attempt to escape from Alex Wesker’s Monument]], [[Manga/ResidentEvilHeavenlyIsland a zombie outbreak on a South American island]], [[Anime/ResidentEvilDeathIsland and her time on Alcatraz Island.]]
45* ActionSurvivor: She's a college student who doesn't have any actual military or paramilitary training, only the general self-defense and weapons training from her brother.
46* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the original game she freaks out when she’s surrounded by zombies in the diner she walked into, but aside from that, she never really shows many signs of fear. In the ''[=RE2=]'' section of ''Darkside Chronicles'' and the remake, she’s much more vocal about how horrified she is. In the remake she swears up a storm whenever enemies lunge at her and futilely begs Mr. X to stay back when he powerwalks toward her.
47* AdaptationalModesty: Though her classic Biker outfit is still in the remake [[AndYourRewardIsClothes as an unlockable costume]], it's replaced with blue jeans and a long-sleeved red leather jacket (not unlike her outfit from ''Revelations 2'') to better reflect the sort of clothing a motorcyclist would realistically wear.
48* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Claire in the remake of ''2'' is noticeably flirtier, chipper more, HotBlooded and snarky, in stark contrast to her original portrayal as a rather dour, humorless young woman.
49* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Her dynamic with Leon has noticeably more [[ShipTease romantic undertones]] in the remake of ''[=RE2=]'' than in the original game, [[ObliviousToLove though it’s mostly just flirting on Claire’s part]].
50%%* BadassBiker: Claire's main hobby is riding motorcycles. She was introduced into the franchise on motorcycle.
51%%* BadassInANiceSuit: Her alternate outfit in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheMercenaries3D''.
52* BadassInDistress: On a few occasions in ''Code Veronica'', most notably near the end of her playable section when a dangerous run-in with Wesker leaves her knocked out and held prisoner, prompting the player switch to Chris as he makes his way to her rescue.
53* BadassNormal: She's the only one with no professional training, yet still manages to fight zombies as well as the rest. Although, according to ''The Darkside Chronicles'', [[IHaveBrothers her brother did give her some basic training]].
54* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's warm and compassionate, loves children, wouldn't hesitate to put her life on the line to help others, and is the only main character to take the civilian route in her fight against bioterrorism, working for an NGO that focuses on legal measures, non-violent protest, and helping victims. She's also just as capable of kicking ass as the military-trained characters, knocked a U.S. senator flat with a slap for endangering then insulting a child she was protecting, and has the highest on-screen human body count of the protagonists.
55%%* BrainyBrunette: Well, she's more of a redhead than a brunette, but she's quite intelligent still.
56* BreakTheBadass: Near the end of ''Code: Veronica'', after the death of Steve, the normally tough and cool Claire becomes a crying, helpless mess.
57* BrotherSisterTeam: As a gameplay feature, she and her brother Chris team up very briefly in ''Darkside Chronicles'' and within the ''Mercenaries 3D'' side game.
58* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Her retiring from an active role in fighting bioterrorism didn't necessarily mean the action would never come to her. The events of ''Degeneration'' and ''Revelations 2'' have shown that when trouble is out looking for Claire, it knows ''exactly'' where to find her.
59* CartwrightCurse: Romance doesn't come up often for Claire, but when it does, it always ends terribly. The only two men who she's been involved with on her adventures who haven't come to horrible ends aree her brother Chris, and Leon Kennedy, who she maintains a platonic friendship with.
60** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'', Steve is nursing a blatant crush on Claire throughout the game. [[spoiler:He gets turned into a monster by Alexia and then killed saving Claire, resulting in him DyingAsYourself.]]
61** In ''Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration'', [=WilPharma=] Head Researcher Frederic Downing flirts with Claire during their time together midway through the film. [[spoiler:He turns out to have been behind the outbreaks in order to secretly drum up interest for both the T- and G-Viruses and his newly invented antivirals on the black market.]]
62** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations2'', it is implied that Claire has a crush on Neil Fisher, something that Moira teases her for. [[spoiler:It turns out Neil is a double agent working for Alex Wesker and sent everyone to the island to be experimented on. After being betrayed by Alex and transformed into a B.O.W., Neil is put down by both Claire and Moira]].
63* ColourCodedCharacters: Claire is usually clothed in maroon alongside her reddish-brown hair. Not only does her clothing indicate her fiery temper, but it also serves as a visual contrast to her co-leads, who are usually clothed in green[[note]]except Leon, who wears blue in ''[=RE2=]''[[/note]].
64* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Jill Valentine. Both are the main playable female character for their respective games. But while Jill was an experienced police officer and former soldier, Claire is a civilian whose combat skills are due to training from her brother Chris. While Jill typically wears blue, Claire's outfits are usually red.
65* DoomMagnet: One of the files in ''Code Veronica'' refers to her as a "goddess of destruction," and it shows. Claire still has the highest baseline-human body count of any of the protagonists, and her adventures tend to come hand in hand with immense amounts of property damage.
66* ExposedToTheElements: Her outfit in ''Code: Veronica'' is jeans and a crop top. Granted, Claire didn't think she'd end up in Antarctica, but she's clearly not dressed for the weather. Despite this, she never complains about it.
67* FriendToAllChildren: She's great with children and very protective of them.
68%%* GoodBadGirl: During her time in college, she had several boyfriends and played the field.
69* GunsAkimbo: She's the first protagonist to dual-wield in the franchise, with the mechanic introduced in ''Code Veronica'' with a specific pair of guns. She can target a single enemy with both guns, or fire at two enemies at the same time.
70* HandicappedBadass: In ''Degeneration'', she is injured in the leg by a shard of glass after the explosion at Wilpharma's research dome, giving her a limp until the very end of the movie, but she still manages to hold her own against zombies.
71* HeadTurningBeauty: Though not as obviously sexualized as some other characters, her beauty is noted repeatedly in supplemental materials in-game and out. It quite literally turns Steve Burnside’s head at (unfortunately) rather important moments in both ''Code: Veronica'' and ''The Darkside Chronicles''. It also leaves Chris’s BSAA squad speechless when she is introduced to them, as they had expected instead a female Chris. Much like Jill, her beauty is dialed up to 11 in the 2019 remake due to the use of an actual fashion model for her likeness.
72%%* HeroicBSOD: She breaks down crying in ''Code Veronica'' when Steve dies. Again when her partner Inéz Diaco dies in ''Heavenly Island''.
73%%* IconicOutfit: Both her ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 RE2]]'' and ''Code Veronica'' outfits.
74* IconicSequelCharacter: Leon and Claire are the main characters of the second game, but they are easily the most memorable main characters after Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.
75%%* ImportantHaircut: [[spoiler:Following the ''Good Ending'' path in ''Revelations 2'', Claire cuts off her ponytail before returning to the island to help Barry. She regrows it back at the time she is called to investigate Sonido de Tortuga Island in Heavenly Island, revealed to be one of Alex Wesker’s old testing sites]].
76* IWillFindYou: Claire’s main objective from 2 and Code Veronica is to find her brother Chris who’s been missing ever since the Arklay Mansion incident.
77* MaleGaze: The camera likes to focus on Claire's behind sometimes, like in one scene in ''Darkside Chronicles'', where the camera views Claire from behind, and moves down a bit to emphasize and show her backside. It's revealed to be from Steve's POV, as he was definitely checking her out.
78* MamaBear:
79** Between Sherry from ''[=RE2=]'' and Rani from ''Degeneration'', Claire is very protective of children, even if she has none of her own.
80** Not only did she dive into a group of zombies to save Rani, but she proceeded to ''bitch-slap'' a standing United States Senator ''[[MegatonPunch into the ground]]'' for endangering Rani in the first place, especially after he admits he [[ChildHater hates children]] and finds them "[[ChildrenAreAWaste a real pain in the ass.]]"
81--->'''Claire:''' Bastard! That little girl will probably have nightmares for the rest of her life because of you!
82* MarriedToTheJob: Her work for Terra Save keeps her so busy that it’s hard for her keep in touch with the loved ones she doesn’t work with, much less start a romantic relationship. In ''Degeneration'', when she jokingly blames her tiredness on a new boyfriend that won’t let her sleep, her friend immediately catches that “boyfriend” means “FDA report”.
83* MartialPacifist: After ''Code: Veronica'', Claire has given up actively fighting against bioweapon outbreaks to work with an NGO that focuses on helping its victims. As ''Degeneration'' shows, when push comes to shove, she's still entirely capable of kicking zombie ass. Even if she has taken a non-combat role, she's obviously stayed in shape and she's kept up her weapons skills. At one point near the end of ''Degeneration'', she manages to score three consecutive headshots on the move in a dark hallway.
84* MonsterBrotherCutieSister: An email sent to her by Piers apologizes for the awkward first meeting between Claire and her brother's [=BSAA=] team. He explains that they were expecting some kind of jacked-out BrawnHilda to match Chris's ridiculous build, and instead were shocked at their captain's sister being 'hot'.
85* MsFanservice: Many of her outfits, both canon and bonus, show off plenty of skin. She is also the subject of a lot of MaleGaze such as during a cutscene in ''Darkside Chronicles'' when Steve is checking her out.
86%%* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Her reaction in ''Degeneration'' when she discovers that Terra Save had been bullying and criticizing [=WilPharma=] when they had in fact been developing a T-virus vaccine. Subverted, as it turns out later in the film that they really ''are'' corrupt.
87* NiceGirl: Out of the four most recurring protagonists in the franchise, Claire has been shown to be the most outwardly kindhearted and selfless person, taking care of Sherry, saving Rodrigo's life (even though he was the reason she was involved in the Rockfort Island and Antarctica Incidents); also, comforting Steve after he is forced to kill his zombified father. While she has gained some cynicism over the years, Claire remains as compassionate as she has ever been.
88* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If she is played in the A scenario in the remake, she accidentally distracts the sheriff who was restraining a zombie, allowing the zombie to overpower and kill him. Oops.
89* [[OneManArmy One-Woman Army]]: While she might not be a powerhouse like Chris or as skilled in a fight as Leon, Ada, or Jill, Claire has shown to be a very resourceful woman who can take down a lot of monsters by herself. After being separated from Leon, she survived the Raccoon City incident while dealing with the undead and William Birkin. She manages to infiltrate an Umbrella facility and kill a bunch of the security force before being captured and sent to Rockford island, where she again kills a bunch of undead swarming around her alongside other mutants. She also manages to take out an island worth of infected prisoners by herself while protecting [[ActionSurvivor Moira]].
90* ParentalAbandonment: Claire reveals to Sherry in the 2019 remake of ''Resident Evil 2'' that "both of [her] parents are gone" and that it's just her and Chris. In the novel series it's revealed they were both still kids when their father was killed on his construction job, and three years prior to the events of the ''[=RE2=]'' novel, their mother was killed in a car accident.
91* ParentalSubstitute: The files in ''Resident Evil 6'' mention that she spent a lot of time with Sherry while the latter was in government custody, to the point where Sherry regards Claire as her foster mother.
92* PreAsskickingOneLiner: To [[spoiler:Neil]] in ''Revelations 2'', who has just mutated into an enormous monster before her eyes, which is ''easily'' three times her size:
93-->[[spoiler:'''Neil:''']] The whole world will be saved...\
94'''Claire:''' You better hope someone saves ''you!''
95* ProperlyParanoid: Files in ''[=RE6=]'' reveal that she was suspicious of [[spoiler:Simmons]] and sent a letter to Sherry warning her to be wary of him, which never made it to her. She's proven to be completely right.
96* RedIsHeroic: She wears a red vest in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica Code: Veronica]]'' and a red leather jacket in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations2 Revelations 2]]''; in both games, she's the primary protagonist.
97* RedOniBlueOni:
98** The red to Leon's blue. It's even in their color scheme! A good example of this dynamic would be their reactions to fighting G3. Leon is apprehensive at having to fight another boss while Claire voluntarily does it to save Sherry's life.
99** She's much more composed as the years pass on as seen in ''Revelations 2'', where she acts as the level-headed, and experienced blue compared to Moira's profanity-spewing, panicking red. This is actually rather important in the plot as [[spoiler:Claire's composure keeps her from fully becoming afraid while Moira does reach the danger level]].
100* RetiredBadass: She's retired from fighting bioterror outbreaks with guns, instead leading a civilian life and getting involved with [=TerraSave=]. If she needs to though, she can still fight against whatever virus threatens the world.
101* SeriesMascot: She shares this trope alongside Leon, Jill, and Chris as she has appeared in a number of games, spin-offs and sub materials, being one of the most iconic characters in the franchise.
102* SiblingYinYang: While Chris is a serious and dutiful soldier, she is a playful and snarky civilian. What they do have in common is hotheaded recklessness and a tendency to get themselves in way over their heads.
103* ShipperOnDeck: She is the teaser towards Leon in ''The Darkside Chronicles'' to go after Ada after going in the sewers.
104* ShipTease: With Steve in ''Code Veronica'' and Neil in ''Revelations 2''. [[spoiler:Nothing comes of either relationship]]. She also has some with Leon in the 2019 remake of ''Resident Evil 2''.
105* TankTopTomboy: Claire in the ''[=RE2=]'' remake is left with just her tank top after giving her jacket to Sherry towards the end.
106* TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: Claire is the tomboy to Ada's feminine. While Claire rides motorcycles and generally dresses in shirts and jeans, she is also extremely protective of children, with a soft, maternal side, and is overall a nice person until someone gives her a reason not to be. Ada, while much more girly in appearance, is a much colder and standoffish person.
107%%* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: In the opening of ''Code: Veronica''.
108%%* TomboyishPonytail: Her signature hair style, compared to the short styles most of the other heroines wear.
109* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Claire likes to ride motorcycles, wear denim shorts, and is a skilled fighter and marksman. However, she is also scared of bugs (especially cockroaches and spiders) and hunters, is very motherly, and fond of the color pink.
110* TheImmune: The comic version of ''Code: Veronica'' implied her to be one as she was injured in the arm by one of the Tyrant's claws during the plane fight, yet she doesn't turn into a zombie. Considering she is one of the series' main characters, PlotArmor is likely to be in play.
111* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: As seen in Darkside Chronicles she absolutely loathes spiders.
112%%* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: In ''Degeneration''.

128
129The daughter of the {{Mad Scientist}}s William and Annette Birkin that Claire (and to a lesser extent, Leon) must protect during ''2''. Returns in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' as Jake Muller's partner. She is a Division of Security Operations operative, a federal anti-bio-terrorism agency in the United States co-founded by Leon and President Adam Benford.
130----
131* ActionGirl: Sherry grows up to serve as an agent for an anti-bio-terrorism agency, and she has quite the firepower to back up her skills.
132* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: A variation occurs between the original version of ''[=RE2=]'' and the 2019 remake; in the original version, Sherry is unaware of the fact that the monstrous "G-Creature" prowling the police station is actually her father, but in the remake version, she knows about his infection, and even pleads with him not to attack her and Claire at one point in Claire's story.
133* BlueIsHeroic: Both her outfits in the original and the 2019 remakes are blue school uniforms. In ''6'', her scarf is also blue.
134* BreakTheCutie:
135** In ''Darkside Chronicles'' when Leon has to tell her her mother is dead. Sherry, understandably, denies it. But she learned to accept it.
136** In the remake, Claire's campaigns have her witnessing her mother dying and breaking down crying over her body before Claire comforts her and tell her they have to leave.
137* BridalCarry: Leon carries her like this when she's unconscious at the end of the "Leon B" scenario. In [=RE2make=], its Claire carrying Sherry in her arms. {{Justified|Trope}} as adults usually carry small children in their arms.
138* TheBusCameBack: After her brief appearance in an epilogue slide for ''3'', Sherry isn't seen again for four games before being reintroduced in ''6''.
139* CaptainObvious: Often slips into this during ''6'', which Jake frequently lampshades.
140** For example, there's this little gem while they're fleeing Neo-Umbrella by motorcycle:
141--->'''Sherry:''' They're trying to mow us down!\
142'''Jake:''' Yeah, thanks, I have ears!
143** And when they fight the [[ChainsawGood Ubistvo]]:
144--->'''Sherry:''' Don't get too close! You'll be ripped to shreds!\
145'''Jake:''' Yeah, thanks! I ''know'' what a chainsaw can do!
146* ColourCodedCharacters: Wears a lot of white with a piece of blue in all her outfits, reflecting her innocence.
147%%* TheCutie: In ''2'', where she is a frail 12-year-old girl looking for her mother.
148* DamselInDistress: Of the younger variety. [[spoiler:She gets better when she's older, but still winds up trapped in a medical facility for 6 months during ''[=RE6=]'' and still needs rescuing a few times.]]
149* DeadpanSnarker: In ''6'', not quite as much as Jake though.
150--> '''Sherry:''' Too bad the fall didn't knock the wise ass out of you.
151* DelicateAndSickly: She's already a fragile little girl in the middle of a ZombieApocalypse, but becomes rather sick after her mutated father implanted her with a G-embryo. She was vaccinated to prevent the virus replacing her cells, but the vaccine only suppresses the effects of the virus, instead of eliminating it outright. In the years that followed, the virus adapted to Sherry's body, and instead of causing rapid mutation and degeneration, it causes the body to heal itself, as was originally envisioned for the G-Virus by Sherry's father.
152* DoomMagnet: Being the biological daughter of William Birkin draws the latter to her as she's the only person in the world who's perfectly compatible with his G embryo. Worse, in the original game, Sherry is unknowingly carrying a sample of the G-Virus in her locket, which causes her to be chased by Mr. X in Claire's B-scenario. Meanwhile, the locket in the remake makes her a target for Brian Irons, who's hoping to use it for his own ends.
153* EnsignNewbie: In ''[=RE6=]'', she's placed in charge of Jake's protection and therefore ''should'' be in charge of the mission. However, Jake is the more experienced of the pair while Sherry is a rookie agent with little experience in the field.
154* FacialHorror: After she's implanted by William in the remake, TaintedVeins begin spreading outward from her left eye, which has turned yellow.
155* FashionableAsymmetry: Her Lanshiang outfit in ''6'' apparently takes cues from Nathan Drake's infamous "half-tuck."
156* GenerationXerox: Rather ironically, Sherry ends up developing a close personal friendship with Jake Muller in ''[=RE6=]'' that mirrors the relationship [[VillainousFriendship her father William had with Jake's father Wesker]]. Fortunately for everybody, [[IAmNotMyFather they are far better people then their fathers were]].
157* TheGlomp: She likes to hug Claire every time she can.
158* GoshDangItToHeck: In the remake, among many adults (like Chief Irons) who cuss like sailors, only she, a 12-year-old, manages a "Darn it!" when she finds that [[spoiler:the Orphanage's exit door is locked and needs a key]].
159* HealingFactor: In ''[=RE6=]'', she is [[spoiler:still a G-Virus host]] and can regenerate from lethal wounds such as {{impale|dWithExtremePrejudice}}ment within seconds.
160* HugeGuyTinyGirl: She's about a good foot shorter than Jake, despite being about 6 years older than him.
161* IKnowMortalKombat: As a child, she manages to break into the sealed control room and stop the train. She credits a movie she watched with teaching her what to do.
162* InnocentBlueEyes: Has blue eyes and is an innocent child thrown in a horrific setting in ''2''.
163* InSeriesNickname: "Supergirl", courtesy of Jake [[spoiler:after he witnesses her HealingFactor in action]].
164* IronicEcho: Sherry's relationship with Jake Muller is a direct inversion of her father's partnership with Wesker. She's the trained agent; Jake's the one who needs watching.
165* LittleMissBadass: Downplayed in ''Resident Evil 2'' as she was merely an ordinary child back then, but she was still able to survive and escape from a zombie outbreak in Raccoon City. In the remake, she even holds her own against Chief Irons when he kidnaps her by throwing a small bottle of acid at his face. Not bad, kid.
166* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Both of her parents were scientists working in the same lab ands were less than exemplary human beings.
167* MaleGaze: In ''Resident Evil 6'', the camera really loves to focus on her butt when she's crawling through tight spaces.
168* MoralityPet: [[PapaWolf Her G-Virus mutated father]] saves her life ''twice'' in the remake during his last moments of humanity before G completely takes over. Even before being mutated, William had a soft spot for his daughter.
169* NiceGirl: She is very kind, promises to protect Jake, helps out Chris and his BSAA team during the fight with a gigantic BOW, and when being stalked by the Ustanak in the BSAA chopper, she even apologizes to them for putting them in danger. The pilot says it's what he signed on for however, so he doesn't mind.
170* OlderSidekick: She's 26 to Jake's 20.
171* OlderThanTheyLook: Sherry is 26 years old by the time of ''[=RE6=]'' but when compared to other characters, she looks more like a teenager than an adult. Even Jake, who is younger than her by six years, looks older than her. [[spoiler:This is likely the G-Virus within her keeping her youth.]]
172* PaintedOnPants: Her first outfit in ''6'' gives her a tight pair of leggings, and the [[MaleGaze game isn't afraid to stick to her butt.]]
173* ParentalAbandonment: By the end of ''Resident Evil 2'', she has lost both of her parents. She's actually not that broken up about it and is quick to view Claire and Leon as being older sibling/parental figures in lieu of her losses.
174* PluckyGirl: Despite being lost and alone in the middle of the ZombieApocalypse, she never surrenders or gives up.
175* SexySchoolwoman: Her ''[=RE6=]'' Mercenary Mode costume is a school uniform like the one she wore as a twelve-year-old in ''[=RE2=]'', only it's now ''much'' too small for her. Slightly disconcerting, because we still remember her being a pre-teen schoolgirl.
176* SheIsAllGrownUp: Naturally. As of ''Resident Evil 6'', she is now a grown woman and is more than capable of defending herself. Time has been good to her.
177* ShipperOnDeck: In the remake, she believes that Leon and Claire are a couple and even suggests that the two adopt her.
178* ShipTease: ''Lots'' of it with Jake Muller in ''[=RE6=]''.
179* StaticStunGun: Carries a stun rod, which can be {{charged|Attack}} to do more damage.
180* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: She mentioned this happened to her between the events of ''2'' and ''6'' because she is a G-Virus host. [[spoiler:And it happens again when she and Jake are captured by Neo Umbrella and taken to China]]. Both times, she openly acknowledged that she absolutely ''hated'' it.
181* SuperiorSuccessor: She is the second case of G-Virus infection after her father infected himself out of desperation, and while William turned into an AxCrazy HumanoidAbomination, she managed (with help from the DEVIL vaccine) to temper the more extreme effects of the virus and become the closest thing to the perfect human being her father originally envisioned.
182* TagalongKid: In ''Resident Evil 2'', she serves as this to Claire… once she stops trying to run away from her, at least.
183* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Resident Evil 6'', Sherry is now a government agent. However, she still needs rescuing a lot.
184* TraumaCongaLine: In the ''Resident Evil 2'' remake, Sherry's life gets worse and worse. She's already a latchkey kid with two absent, workaholic parents, but [[spoiler:when the zombie outbreak starts, she does as she's told and goes to the police station, only to find it's already overrun. When she hides in the basement, a monster with her dad's face almost kills Claire, until Claire manages to drive him off. Sherry's subsequently kidnapped by a psychopath, scars him with a jar of acid, escapes from him while screaming for help that never comes, pursued by ''another monster'', infected with G, and while she's lying on the floor infected, her mother tells her via intercom that she's going to let Sherry die. No wonder Sherry wants Claire to adopt her in the ending, as Claire has seemingly shown more concern for her in one night than her parents showed her in ''her entire life''.]]
185* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In ''Resident Evil 2'', scenario Claire B, Claire and Sherry go past Chief Irons, who is HalfTheManHeUsedToBe. While Claire has seen this before, Sherry should be terrified (they also have to descend the same manhole where he came from and which spilled all of his blood). The S.D. Perry novel at least has Claire cover the corpse with a tarp, which Sherry still notices, but decides [[NothingIsScarier she doesn't want to know]].
186* VaporWear:
187** When escaping from Neo-Umbrella's lab in ''6'', she's wearing little more than a hospital gown and panties with no bra. Things get a little awkward between them when Jake notices, causing Sherry to hide behind a locker door until she can find some actual clothes.
188** Implied with her schoolgirl costume in the Mercenary Mode. The way her boobs look in that costume is more consistent with a bra-less shape, and the amount they jiggle with little movement doesn't help.
189* WrestlerInAllOfUs: In ''[=RE6=]'', Sherry -- of all people -- can pull off a kneeling facebuster.

221
222An R.P.D. officer who would have been Leon's boss if not for the T-Virus outbreak.
223----
224* AllThereInTheManual: His name isn't given in ''Resident Evil 2'', but was used in the {{Novelization}} and in a report written by him which Jill finds in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis''. The remake has him introduce himself to Leon.
225* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: He's [[ZombieInfectee already infected]] by the time the A scenario protagonist makes it to the precinct, and eventually succumbs to his wounds before rising as an undead. This is expanded upon in the remake, where the A scenario character will run into his zombie self later on and has the option to put him out of his misery, rightly [[ApologeticAttacker apologizing]] to him as they do so, while the B scenario protagonist won't, due to them not getting to know him before he turned. The remake of ''3'' reveals that a zombified Brad Vickers was the one who wounded him prior to Leon or Claire's arrival.
226* AngerBornOfWorry: He's very stern and harsh to Leon in their final encounter, ''even pointing a gun at him '' to force him to leave him behind, but it's clear it's only because he's so worried about Leon's safety.
227* ApologeticAttacker: He apologizes to the zombified Brad while preparing to put him down. Sadly, Brad answers in kind, causing Marvin to hesitate long enough to get bitten.
228* AscendedExtra: Downplayed. In the original game as well as ''Darkside Chronicles'', Marvin is simply a minor character encountered by the A route protagonist early on, who briefs them about the outbreak before turning into a zombie on their second meeting. His role is slightly expanded in the first half of the 2019 remake, where he interacts more with the A route protagonist and even plays a part in Leon's Character Development. He also plays a substantial role in the police station chapter of ''Outbreak'', leading the surviving cops as they prepare for evacuation.
229* BadassNormal: Marvin is just a normal cop who manages to survive a week into the outbreak under extreme stress, and having slain countless infected.
230* CallForward: In the remake, in addition to his original role of being a high ranking black cop who dies not too long into the game, he gives the protagonist their first knife which is immediately used to open a door via cutting the tape on a power box. [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard Deputy David Anderson]] would find himself in a nigh identical situation well over a decade later.
231* ContinuityCameo: The ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Remake Resident Evil 3 Remake]]'' revealed how he got infected. [[spoiler: He was shooting Brad Vickers, whose brief moment of [[FightingFromTheInside apologetic lucidity]], caused him to hesitate and get bitten in the stomach]].
232* DoomedByCanon: In ''Outbreak'', he's not getting rescued from the police station.
233* DoomedHurtGuy: When you meet him, he's dying from the infectious bite of a zombie. There's no hope to cure him.
234* AFatherToHisMen: Doubling as a BenevolentBoss; he's stern, but obviously very caring towards the officers under him, especially the rookies. He had an entire office game planned to welcome Leon onto the force, and puts the life of the younger cop before his own.
235* GallowsHumor: His line "Sorry, but it looks like your party has been canceled" to Leon when the police station has been overrun by zombies and he's heavily injured himself.
236* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Insists that Claire and/or Leon forget about him and rescue the ''other'' survivors, [[spoiler:rightly]] believing he is too badly wounded and will soon become a zombie. In the remake, he not only tells Leon this, he also gives him a very stern order to do so since he's his superior.
237* MissionControl: Briefly serves as one to Leon/Claire at the beginning segments of the remake's A scenario, keeping them informed via radio as they explore the zombie-infested police station to secure an escape route. His condition soon worsens, however, and stops communicating altogether before the player even finishes their tasks.
238* MrExposition: During the A scenario, he tells Leon or Claire a summed up version of what happened in the first game, which also helps both new players and veterans that may have forgotten how the first game went down. The remake doesn't have him explain the events since he had no idea on what happened.
239* NiceGuy: Though he is stern towards Leon due to his position as his superior, Marvin does risk his own life to save his comrade in spite of his fatal injuries, and supports Leon in escaping from the city to get help. Marvin is also notably more gentle and restrained towards Claire (if she is the player character instead of Leon), as she is merely a concerned civilian looking for her brother Chris in Raccoon City.
240* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His appearance in the original game has strong similarities with Creator/WillSmith, as many critics have pointed out.
241* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Outbreak'', he devises a rescue plan to save the survivors on the police station. Even though he gets bitten and decides to stay behind, it works. In the remake, he saves the 1st Run protagonist from a zombie by pulling them through an open shutter and then slamming said shutter down on the zombie's head.
242-->'''Leon'''/'''Claire:''' Watch out!\
243'''Marvin:''' I got it. ''[[YourHeadASplode *spltch!*]]''
244* TransformationHorror: His transformation into a zombie is one of the most horrifying sights in the second game.

252
253One of the few surviving R.P.D. officers left in Raccoon City by the time Leon and Claire arrive.
254----
255* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the original, he was a mustachioed, middle-aged and overweight man. He's depicted as being younger, more athletic, and clean-shaven in the remake.
256* AllThereInTheManual: His name is revealed in ''Resident Evil Archives''.
257* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: In the remake, after his gruesome demise, what’s left of him turns and attacks Leon/Claire, forcing them to put him down for good.
258* TragicMonster: In the remake, you really can’t help but feel sorry for the poor bastard, being agonisingly torn in half and then finally turning, leaving him as a disembodied torso pitifully moaning as he tries to kill you. [[MercyKill At least you can make sure that he doesn’t suffer for long.]]
259* WeHardlyKnewYe: Appears only in the B Scenario when the characters reach the rooftop. He's killed mere moments after appearing on-screen and has a handful of lines. It's not even clear it's ''him'' specifically without the developers' clarification. The trope is subverted slightly in the remake. He has more lines and screen time but still meets an untimely demise soon after being introduced.

275A reporter who at one point tried to get the scoop on the Raccoon City Outbreak, and locked himself in a jail cell when things went too far south.
276----
277* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In Katherine Warren's ''Ghost Survivors'' campaign, both him and Katherine are an OfficialCouple. This relationship isn't hinted at in the original or the remake proper.
278* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the original, he refused to leave his cell and brushes off Leon's offer of protection. In the remake, he begs Leon to let him out [[spoiler:just before Mr. X crushes his head]].
279* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the remake, Chief Irons was the one who locked him in the cell to hide the dirt he uncovered on him and Umbrella.
280* BodyHorror: When Leon investigates Ben's corpse after Mr. X is through with him, his face has the mutant's fingers deeply imprinted on what's left of his head.
281* CassandraTruth: In the remake, he outright says to Leon that Irons is a corrupt bastard that put him in jail, but considering Ben's eccentric way of going about this, Leon doesn't exactly buy it. [[spoiler: Then he gets his head splattered by Mr. X.]]
282* IntrepidReporter: Subverted. He's already given up on chasing down his story by the time you find him, and now he's just trying to stay alive.
283* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although he comes off as abrasive and apathetic towards Leon and Ada at first, Ben sounds [[EveryoneHasStandards notably shocked when Leon tells him that all the other cops in the RPD are dead]]. He then tells the two of a sewer manhole in a nearby kennel they can use to escape.
284* SanitySlippage: From the way he greets Leon in the remake, it's implied he was starting to lose it from being trapped in his cell.
285-->'''Ben:''' I don't believe it, a real human! Hello, human.
286* WeHardlyKnewYe: In ''The Darkside Chronicles'', Ben had already been killed by Birkin before Leon, Claire and Ada even reach his cell. The remake has him alive for just the one scene you meet him and is killed by Mr. X shortly after.
287* YoungerThanTheyLook: Official materials stated his birth year to be 1972, making him 26 years old by the time of ''2''. While his original appearance seems in line with this, he gets [[AgeLift progressively older]] with each subsequent release featuring him. In the remake, Ben looks to be almost twice his official age, appearing closer to a middle-aged man than someone barely into his late-20s. Compared to Leon, who's only five years younger than him, Ben looks to be in his late 30's to mid 40's.

302
303A gun shop owner whom either Claire or Leon runs into during the course of the outbreak. In the original game, he is the first non-hostile NPC encountered during the A Scenario. In the 2019 remake, Leon and Ada meet up with him after leaving the Raccoon City Police Department.
304----
305* AceCustom: His handgun during his ''Ghost Survivors'' scenario is one of the original model Samurai Edges developed by his brother and used in the STARS trials.
306* {{Acrofatic}}: While he's not exactly fat per se, Robert ''is'' rather overweight. Regardless, he's still able to run at the same speed as anyone else in the remake, and is not winded by combat or strenuous activity such as vaulting over objects or climbing flights of stairs.
307* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the 2019 ''2'' Remake, he's much more threatening and tragic than the original. He holds Leon at gunpoint and tries to kick him out of the store. [[spoiler:Because his daughter is infected and he's afraid Leon and Ada will kill her.]]
308* AdaptationalJerkass: In the original game, Robert was a NiceGuy who offered Leon[=/=]Claire shelter and ammo. But in the remake, he's hostile towards Leon and tries to kick him out of his shop at gunpoint. While he DID point a gun at the survivors in the original as well, that was only because he mistook them for a zombie at first. The remake of ''3'' however has him act similar to his original depiction because he actually knows Jill and offers what he can, despite still being just about as worried of her possibly finding out [[spoiler: his daughter's infection]].
309* ArmsDealer: Owns the Kendo Gun Shop, serving as the seller while his brother Joseph was the customizer. During the outbreak, he [[NiceGuy handed out a majority of his gun stock to civilians for protection]], including a Taurus Raging Bull that Barry Burton had custom-ordered.
310* ButNotTooForeign: Confirmed to be Japanese-American through an archive file in ''Darkside Chronicles''.
311* ChivalrousPervert: Some of his dialogue towards Claire in her scenario in the original game comes across as very sleazy, but he is a genuine nice guy trying to help out as many civilians as he can.
312* ContinuityCameo: Has a brief role in the remake of ''3'', interacting on friendly terms with Jill, albeit being very demonstrably nervous and evasive when Jill tries to get him to go with her.
313* ADayInTheLimelight: He's made a playable character in the chapter "No Time to Mourn" in "Ghost Survivors", a post-launch DLC-based alternative game mode for the 2019 remake of ''2''.
314* DespairEventHorizon: By the time you meet him in the remake, Robert has seemingly given up hope and is no longer the friendly shop owner handing weapons to other survivors. [[spoiler:Having to kill his wife and later his daughter is a valid reason.]]
315* NiceGuy:
316** He handed out most of his guns to help civilians during the outbreak. He was also friends with Barry Burton and felt guilty when he had to hand out a Raging Bull gun Barry had ordered to a civilian.
317** Played with in the remakes, where he is initially hostile towards Leon and Ada and draws a shotgun on them when they turn a corner in his shop, although not without reason. In ''3'', he lowers his guard when he sees it's just Jill, and simply turns down her offer to help him escape while attempting to hide his reasons. Nevertheless, he still offers her the gate keys he keeps in his shop.
318* RaceLift: The original Robert Kendo was an overtly Asian man of Japanese descent, as was his brother. The remake turns him into a Caucasian man while still bearing the original name, while his new daughter looks to be part Asian, which could mean Robert simply took on his (late) wife's surname this time around.
319* WeHardlyKnewYe:
320** Killed only moments after meeting the A Scenario character in the original game, when four zombies broke through the window and devoured him. All we knew about him was that he was a gunstore owner and that his brother was a skilled gunsmith. Even that was only revealed in a file in ''3''.
321** Even more so in ''Darkside Chronicles'' as he's attacked and killed by zombies at the same time Leon and Claire arrive at the store.

334* UncertainDoom: Whether Robert shot her or himself is never confirmed in the main game, leaving her fate unknown.
335* ZombieInfectee: By the time Leon and Ada encounter her, she is noticeably pale and has one milky eye, and is barely able to move. She still can identify her father and whisper out "Da..ddy?", so she's not totally gone yet.

352* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She reacts in horror after jamming a knife into Irons' neck, but she resolves to overcome it and rescue Ben.
353* NiceGirl: Portrayed as this in her playable "The Ghost Survivors" segment, given that she risks her own life to save her lover being held prisoner in the police station and escape together, instead of just escaping the zombie-infested city on her own. She's definitely not like her coward of a father in this 'what-if?' scenario.
354* NoNameGiven: S.D. Perry's novelization of ''Resident Evil 2'' referred to her as Beverly Harris, as the mayor's name wasn't known at the time. Canonically, her first name was unknown until the 2019 remake, where it is revealed to be Katherine Warren.
355* ParentalAbandonment: Her DirtyCoward of a father left her behind to escape on his own. This puts her into the custody of his close friend and no less of a {{Jerkass}}, RPD Chief Brian Irons.
356* PromotedToPlayable: She is a playable option in the ''Ghost Survivors'' alternative mode for the 2019 remake of the game.
357* RescueRomance: Her goal in the ''Ghost Survivors'' segment is to save her boyfriend Ben (Bertolucci) from the police station.
358* RevolversAreJustBetter: Her main gun is Claire's fully upgraded SLS 60.
359* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Chief Irons is fixated on Katherine across all versions of ''Resident Evil 2'' because of this, though the remake's "Ghost Survivors" scenario gives her the option for a better end.
360* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: In the ''Ghost Survivors'' campaign, she escapes Irons and goes through the monster-infested Raccoon City in order to rescue her lover Ben Bertolucci who was imprisoned by Irons.
361* TheVoiceless: She never speaks during her ''Ghost Survivors'' campaign, just lets out pained grunts/yells and exertion noises.
362* WeHardlyKnewYe: Claire hears her scream as she reaches the second floor but arrives too late, as Irons had already murdered her. In the remake, she's already long dead, although she's playable in the "Ghost Survivors" mode.
363* WhiteShirtOfDeath: In the original, her blood really stands out against her white dress. Her stomach/chest area is covered in blood after Irons murders her. In the remake, her outfit is still white, but is changed from a gown into a short romper.

376* ByTheBookCop: What little we see of him suggests this. He has a zombie's arm pinned behind its back apparently attempting to cuff it; and when the first run character shows up, Sheriff Cortini attempts to warn them.
377* CanonForeigner: Was introduced in the remake, and even then was not named until the DLC came out.
378* ADayInTheLimelight: He's made a playable character in the chapter "No Way Out" in "Ghost Survivors", a post-launch DLC-based alternative game mode for the 2019 remake of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.

381* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: The Sheriff himself was never mentioned at all in any of the promotional materials released prior to the DLC itself. Heck, the blurb for the DLC specifically advertised ''three'' playable characters only.
382* WeHardlyKnewYe: He dies in the first 10 seconds upon trying to apprehend a zombie.

385[[folder:Truck Driver]]
386!!Truck Driver
387
388-> ''"That guy's a maniac! Why'd he bite me?!"''
389
390A hapless truck driver.
391----
392* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: In the original, he is unconcerned about that "maniac" biting him, and just gets back into his truck and resumes driving.
393* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After running over a woman standing in the road (who is actually a zombie but he doesn't know this yet), he gets out of his truck to inspect her body and quietly panics on what he has done.
394* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Getting out to help the woman he hit is what winds up getting him bitten and infected.
395* NoNameGiven: Currently, he's the only character in the game who isn't given a name.
396* OhCrap: Goes wide eyed and utters "Oh, shit!" when he sees a zombie in the road and attempts to slam on the brakes.
397* RaceLift: He's black in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOperationRaccoonCity''.
398* SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite being nameless, he's the first character we meet in the remake, and in both versions, his crashing truck is what separates Leon and Claire.
399* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Isn't too concerned about the zombie gas station attendant who bites him in the original. In fairness, he just thinks it's a crazy person.

402[[folder:Tofu]]
403!!The Tofu Survivor
404[[quoteright:203:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tofu1.jpg]]
405->'''Voiced by:''' Katsutoshi Karatsuma (''2'' & 2 2019)
406
407''A shadowy intelligence agent who's known for his ability to adapt to a wide variety of situations.''\
408''He's only as good as the water he's made from.''\
409''His low costs and good results have seen him serve active duty around the world in recent years.''\
410''Code name: Tofu.''\
411''His charm know no bounds.''
412
413[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin An autonomous block of tofu]] as large as a human being. To date, he has only appeared officially in non-canon minigames in ''2'' and ''Darkside Chronicles''.
414----
415* ActionGirl: Flan, thanks to TheSmurfettePrinciple. Her kit consists almost entirely of heavy weaponry that's capable of dishing out major pain. The downsides to this is the almost complete lack of spare ammo and healing items.
416* AdaptationExpansion: Tofu returns in the remake, this time alongside four of his highly edible comrades, each with their own set of gear and character voice. They also have amusing dossiers that the player can read while waiting for the game to load.
417* AnimateInanimateObject: A living block of tofu.
418* BewareTheSillyOnes: Particularly with Konjac and Flan, but to a lesser degree with Uiro-Mochi. Unlike Tofu, who only ever packs knives, his comrades go into the same scenario ''armed to the teeth''. It makes what is supposed to be a desperate race for survival ''almost easy''.
419* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Konjac is described as this in this loading screen dossier. True enough, his arsenal is the most destructive in the mode, with power ranking only behind Flan's.
420* DistaffCounterpart: One of the unlockable characters in the remake's Tofu Survivor is Flan, a female [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin block of Flan]].
421* GratuitousJapanese: His voice clips; he exclaims "Ouch!" or "What are you doing?" when hit, "It's over" when dealt the fatal blow, and mutters "farewell" when he is killed, all in Japanese.
422* TheGunslinger: Annin Tofu is seemingly set up to be this, with two Large-caliber pistols and a huge amount of spare ammo in his inventory.
423* HotBlooded: Konjac, which, considering his [[KillItWithFire kit]] and lack of [[NoIndoorVoice indoor voice]], is ''very'' likely to be intentional.
424* PaletteSwap: Beating Tofu Survivor in the remake unlocks two additional block of curd characters, Konjac (a brown colored Tofu with heavy weapons) and Uiro-Mochi (Green colored and with an inventory consisting solely of grenades). Additional unlocks are Flan (a Yellow block with a Rocket Launcher) and Annin (A white block with a gun and extra herbs).
425* SparedByTheAdaptation: Tofu is no longer shown being cooked and subsequently eaten by HUNK in the results screen in the remake. Here he's just seemingly stashed into an item box looking no worse for wear, while his former fate seems to have befallen Uiro-Mochi instead.
426* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Uiro-Mochi's kit (''36'' Frag grenades) is this taken to its logical extreme.
