30
31	A drug lord running a small empire somewhere in the South American jungle. Hidalgo purchased a sample of the T-Veronica virus and unleashed several B.O.W.s on the surrounding villages, leading to Leon Kennedy and Jack Krauser getting sent in to investigate.
32	----
33	* AntiVillain: He just wants to save his daughter, [[spoiler: by harvesting the organs of kidnapped girls and implanting them in his daughter]], which he pulls off with his tyrannical drug empire.
34	* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler: Post-mutation, he bellows that those he consumes become a part of his mass. In his madness, he intends to absorb Manuela, with the intent of uniting themselves forever]].
35	* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: [[spoiler:Javier merges with the Veronica plant growing in his garden and turns into a monster taller than his compound.]]
36	* BadBoss: When you finally assault his compound, he "welcomes" you with several zombies made from the former members of his army. He also murdered the two doctors keeping Manuela alive when she escaped.
37	* BigBad: Of ''Darkside Chronicles'', more specifically the "Operation Javier" storyline.
38	* BodyHorror: A given, since he is the main antagonist of a ''Resident Evil'' game. [[spoiler:He fuses with the Veronica plant inside his compound, turning into a building-sized mass of bloated flesh and plant life.]]
39	* TheCartel: The head of one, the Sacred Snakes.
40	* CrusadingWidower: His wife died from the same disease inflicting Manuela, and Javier will do ''anything'' to save her.
41	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Javier started working with Umbrella because he hoped they would find a cure for his daughter's illness.
42	* {{Expy}}: of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Escobar Pablo Escobar]]
43	* HumanTraffickers: His organization dabbles in this, making it easier for him to [[spoiler: provide the organs Manuela needs]].
44	* ICannotSelfTerminate: In a brief moment of lucidity, he begs Leon and Manuela to off him after [[spoiler:enough damage is dealt to the plant that was controlling him]].
45	* KnightTemplarParent: To save Manuela's life, Javier infected his daughter with a virus that causes horrific mutations. To counteract the mutations, Javier [[spoiler:harvested organs from girls and implanted them in Manuela]].
46	* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Javier is a powerful drug lord, showing off his wealth with fancy suits and a lavish mansion.
47	* MoralMyopia: He's fiercely protective of his daughter, and terrified of losing her. [[spoiler: So he has dozens of girls just like her kidnapped and murdered]].
48	* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:See AttackOfThe50FootWhatever.]]
49	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Watches his beloved child slowly die from an incurable disease. He also inflicts this on others, through [[spoiler: kidnapping dozens of teenage girls]].
50	* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler: He is swallowed by the Veronica plant shortly after his boss battle begins. Leon notes that he had not undergone the procedures required to keep the virus under his control]].
51	* SanitySlippage: Whatever was left of his sanity is completely gone when he [[spoiler: allows the Veronica plant to amalgamate with him]].
52	* WhenTreesAttack: [[spoiler: He merges with a Veronica-infected plant and becomes a gigantic abomination of flesh and wood.]]

55	[[folder:Manuela Hidalgo]]
56	!!!Voiced By: Amy Correa Bell
57	[[quoteright:145:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/manuela_5758.jpg]]
58
59	The daughter of the drug lord Javier Hidalgo. Kept alive by the T-Veronica virus, she is rescued by Leon and Krauser during the prequel story in ''Darkside Chronicles''. She is easily recognized by her bloodstained dress and her habit of always going barefoot everywhere she goes.
60	----
61	* AwesomenessIsVolatile: [[spoiler:Too much blood loss, such as from tossing out bloody fireballs, and she'll incinerate herself.]]
62	* AcheyScars: Repeatedly throughout ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheDarksideChronicles Darkside Chronicles]]'', she clutches her arm in pain.
63	* BadPowersGoodPeople: She's definitely good, but this series is notorious for having people who augment their bodies or gain special abilities as being evil.
64	* BeneficialDisease: [[spoiler: The T-Veronica Virus cured her original illness and gave her fire powers, as long as she doesn't abuse them she'll be fine.]]
65	* BlessedWithSuck: [[spoiler:Sure, her powers are cool and effective... for ten minutes. Any more than that, and they'll kill her.]]
66	* BloodyMurder: [[spoiler:The T-Veronica Virus makes her blood combust when exposed to air, effectively [[PlayingWithFire giving her fire powers]].]]
67	* BodyHorror: Her right arm is [[spoiler:necrotic. When unleashing her powers, it appears to be stripped down to the bone.]]
68	* BodyguardCrush: She really does like Leon.
69	* CastFromLifespan: [[spoiler:Her pyrokinetic abilities are fuelled by her own blood. Consequentially, her using them puts her body under significant strain, with death being a very real possibility.]]
70	* CharacterDevelopment: Becomes more proactive throughout ''The Darkside Chronicles''. [[spoiler:By the end, she comes to understand herself and her powers better, learning how to hold on to her soul and maintain control of herself by embracing both humanity and the pain that comes with it.]]
71	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: She wears all white. She's naturally the '"pure" character in ''Darkside Chronicles''.
72	* DamselInDistress: She has the sense to break out and run for the heroes, though.
73	* DyingAsYourself: Manuela has every intention of ending her own life, before she becomes a monster. [[spoiler: Narrowly averted when Leon saves her in the Good Ending, but played straight in the Bad Ending]].
74	* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Throughout ''The Darkside Chronicles'', we are shown ''numerous'' examples where virus infectees meet very messy ends. The end of ''The Darkside Chronicles'' says that Manuela coexists stably with the Veronica virus and is no longer terminally ill, very likely as a result of her personal growth.]]
75	* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler:She's been with you for a while, but she'll join the fight against the final boss with her powers. She'll do most of the damage too, if you let her.]]
76	* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Unleashes the powers granted to her by the Veronica virus right before the final boss fight. She's able to toss her blood out as large explosive fireballs, vastly speeding up the process of whittling down the final boss.]]
77	* {{Foil}}: To Alexia Ashford, especially as she is presented in ''The Darkside Chronicles''. [[spoiler:Both are Veronica virus infectees with similar powers granted by their coexistance with the virus, but their personalities and morality are polar opposites: Alexia is a flamboyant PsychopathicWomanchild who considers the rest of humanity to exist only to serve her and her experiments with the Veronica virus, while Manuela is a subdued, [[TheIngenue innocent young woman]] who is horrified by the human cost needed to keep her infection in check and determined not to give into the virus' destabilizing influence.]]
78	%%ZCE FreakyIsCool: Krauser thinks so, at least.
79	%%ZCE * GoodScarsEvilScars
80	* TheIngenue: She is soft-spoken as all get-out, but also intelligent and highly courageous. The naivety fades out as she comes to develop her own philosophy regarding the Veronica virus and its gifts, [[spoiler:which certainly serves her better than ''everyone else'' who tried to use it for power.]]
81	* InnocentBlueEyes: She has baby blue eyes, and is incredibly innocent in spite of her parentage.
82	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frrxSo5jJE0 "Manuela's Lullaby"]]. She even sings it.
83	* LetsGetDangerous: Right before the final boss, she decides to quit sitting back, [[spoiler:finally allowing herself to use her zombie superpowers.]]
84	* MafiaPrincess: Her father is the head of a prominent Cartel, though she wants nothing to do with it.
85	* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: With regards to her father, Javier Hidalgo, a drug lord and bioterrorist.
86	* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler: Having symbiotically bonded with the Veronica virus, Manuela can weaponize her blood to create flame barriers and hurl fireballs from the scar in her right arm]].
87	* PrefersGoingBarefoot: She is always barefoot throughout the game. She wears a serpent anklet in her left foot, so she is likely barefoot by her own choice. Her bare feet reflect her fragility and her innocence
88	* RedRightHand: The bandages on her arm are covering scarring that is [[spoiler:from her infection with the T-Veronica Virus]].
89	* SaveThisPersonSaveTheWorld: [[spoiler:Inverted; Leon's insistence on saving Manuela leads to ''Resident Evil 4'' through to ''6'' happening [[note]]Krauser becoming obsessed with the power of Bioweapons and consequently going rogue during VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 was a direct result of ''The Darkside Chronicles''' events; this betrayal in turn leads to Wesker getting his hands on Las Plagas and Carla Radames getting her hands on T-Veronica to create the C-Virus[[/note]] and nearly dooming the entire world.]]
90	* ScarsAreForever: Averted in the bad ending. [[spoiler:Just before she dies, her arm heals up.]]
91	* SweetAndSourGrapes: The essence of her relationship with [[spoiler:the T-Virus within her. If the pain of living sickly gets too much, she can just let go and become a monster--that's the very basis of the T-virus, as ''Darkside Chronicles'' shows again and again. It is withstanding pain and holding on to both the good and bad in life that allows her to live with the virus, and Krauser and Leon's faith in her gives her a reason to do so.]]
92	* UncertainDoom: With ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4Remake'' [[spoiler: retconning Operation Javier into a failure with its sole survivor marooned, it's unclear what comes of Manuela in the Remake's continuity. Given that she could die even in the original continuity, her odds are not looking good.]]
93	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Several times over, and much to Manuela's horror. Her illness drove her father to extremes to save her, and her escape from her father's mansion aided in spreading the virus into the nearby village. She also helped inspire Krauser's StartOfDarkness and [[spoiler: was used to obtain a sample of the T-Veronica virus, which Radames and Simmons used in the development of the C-Virus]].
94	* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Somewhat discussed in ''Darkside Chronicles''. [[spoiler:Leon's only heard of psychos wanting the Veronica Virus or people horribly mutating if they were forced to contract it. He expresses shock that it was used as a treatment. Once he adjusts, though, he shoots down Krauser's idea that they should kill her before she becomes a threat.]]
95	[[/folder]]
96
97	[[folder:Hilda Hidalgo]]
98
99	The late wife of Javier, and mother of Manuela.
100	----
101	* TheDragon: The first and pen-ultimate boss of the game, sent to kill Leon and Krauser while her husband escapes.
102	* DyingAsYourself: In her final moments, she's able to regain control long enough to die peacefully.
103	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Javier's beloved wife, a relationship that gives both man and monster a measure of humanity. Even as a monster, Hilda still protects her husband from enemies and never shows any aggression towards Javier or Manuela.
104	* InnocentBlueEyes: Manuela inherited them from her, and her eyes are blue when she's passive/in control of herself.
105	* MonsterIsAMommy: Manuela's mommy, at that.
106	* MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast: Calmed by Manuela singing her childhood lullaby.
107	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Glowing, red eyes signal that the virus has taken over and she's about to kill anything in her path.
108	* SoapOperaDisease: Her condition is never given much detail, beyond being some sort of terminal disease that only locals seem to contract.
109	* TragicMonster: Transformed into a massive, tentacled aquatic beast by the T-Veronica virus. Even so, there's a fragment of her human mind lingering inside the beast.
110	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Inflicted a CareerEndingInjury on Krauser, leading to his StartOfDarkness and eventual role in causing the events of ''4''.
111	* WasOnceAMan: The twist of the final chapter, revealing the beast they've been fighting was once Manuela's mother.
