| - -Angela explains her relationship with her uncle. Angela 'Angie' Ashford was the only child of Doctor Charles Ashford, the inventor of the t-virus. Because Angela possessed the same degenerative nerve condition as her beloved father, Angela was destined to eventually spend the remainder of her life in a wheelchair. Her father prevented this by developing the t-virus. While in almost all cases of humans infected with the virus suffering uncontrollable mutation, the reproduction of dead cells that the t-virus caused was enough to allow Angela to regenerate her limbs and walk again (if kept in check with injections of an anti-virus). Shortly after the events of the first movie, the t-virus had escaped from the Hive and eventually broke out into Raccoon City. Angela and her father were among the high-ranking Umbrella families chosen for evacuation. When she was pulled out of her class, the SUV that was to take her out of the city crashed and the occupants - other than Angela - were killed, leaving her trapped in the infected city. Angela's father was led out of the city and he was forced to find another way to retrieve her before all evidence of the outbreak was destroyed via. a nuclear weapon. With a personal locator, he was able of finding her at her school where she was hiding. Charles contacted a few groups who still remained inside Raccoon City, such as Alice, Jill, LJ, Peyton Wells, Terri Morales, and Carlos Olivera. He explained the situation and arranged a deal so that they could escape given that they would help him rescue his daughter. Angela had been saved and was reunited with her father, but the reunion was brief as he was shot shortly afterwards. Angela, along with Alice, Jill, Carlos and L.J.. escaped Raccoon on an Umbrella helicopter transport, mere seconds before it was destroyed. Alice was killed when she was impaled by a metal pipe broken off the out-of-control helicopter, taking the blow meant for Angela. After surviving the crash, Angela could sense, with her t-virus abilities, that some part of Alice still lived. As such, despite the growing manhunt for Jill and Carlos, they were able to arrange to free the-now-revived Alice from Umbrella's Detroit facility, with Jill, Carlos and L.J. posing as Covert Umbrella Operatives taking her into custody. Then, the group leaves with Alice in tow.
