But there’s a mystery surrounding Chris—has something gone terribly wrong, or is he still the same Chris we know?

Alcina Dimitrescu, or as she prefers, Countess Dimitrescu, is the imposing matriarch of the Dimitrescu family, who rule over the village and the ominous Castle Dimitrescu.

However, Mia’s peaceful life is disrupted at the beginning of Resident Evil Village by a violent incident involving their daughter, Rosemary. Though it appears that Mia’s fate takes a tragic turn, in the Resident Evil universe, things are rarely as they seem.
Rosemary Winters
Rosemary is the daughter of Ethan and Mia, and her kidnapping by Chris Redfield at the start of the game sets Ethan on his journey through the village. Rosemary is no ordinary child—she has unique, mysterious powers that others might want to exploit. Will she be a potential threat or the key to unravelling the village’s mysteries? We’ll find out as the story progresses.
The Dimitrescu Daughters
