Ada Wong (Japanese: エイダ・ウォン, Hepburn: Eida Won) is a fictional character in the Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan) horror franchise by Capcom. She is a mysterious and ambiguous antihero figure, working for the series' villains but also helping the protagonist Leon S. Kennedy.
Introduced as a supporting character in the video game Resident Evil 2 in 1998, Ada (/ˈeɪdə/) later appeared as a player character or in supporting roles in the video games Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City and Resident Evil 6, as well as in the animated film Resident Evil: Damnation. The live-action film series' version of Ada first appeared in Resident Evil: Retribution. Ada was well received and became one of the most popular characters in the series.
An American woman of Chinese descent, Ada is first mentioned in the original Resident Evil (1996) set in the year 1998. A letter written by dying Umbrella Corporation researcher John was addressed to a woman named Ada. There was an Umbrella researcher named Linda during the early development stages of the sequel (a version popularly known as "Resident Evil 1.5"). The character was eventually given the full name Ada Wong in order to provide a connection to the first game. John was infected with the deadly T-virus during an outbreak in the Arklay Laboratory facility; he asks Ada (who had manipulated him to steal Umbrella's secrets for a rival company) to destroy the Spencer Mansion (the first game's setting) and to reveal the incident to the public.
This love is like a raging lion
It's a heart of gold
That's given you a place to go.
You try so hard to make it on your own
You've got to understand I'm making myself known.
Come back to the airwaves, burn the ashes
Raise the grave up to the sun.
Sing of Me, sing of My love
Like a bullet from a gun "SHOT" through the airwaves.
"BANG, BANG"
Raise the dead.
Sing of Me, sing of My love
Like a bullet from a gun.
It's time for me to bring the black back
And capture the songs and take them to the streets.
If we can sing it loud, we might just see it now
We've got to shake the world, we've got to lift our voice.
