    She looks bossy.. Something about her face and the way she's posing I don't think Leon will be calling the shots.

    I agree, she looks like an annoying boss. I liked how the girl in RE5 was. This new one looks too "official".

    Ugh, more co-op? The option is fine, but if it's anything like RE5, where the AI partner suffers such a mental deficiency that it practically forces co-op onto you, I'll be very upset with Capcom.

    BlackLabel She doesn't look any bossier than Leon? Their facial expressions look pretty similar to me (as does their fabulous hair).

    Are you blind RabidChinaGirl?
    She has her hand on her hip and she's wearing formal attire,clearly she means business.She has that air about her,like she might pull a z-snap at any second.
    Yeah that is some fabulous hair,I agree.

    I like a woman that knows what she wants, and she definitely seems to be that. Strong and feminine at the same time, too. Well done, Capcom.

    Wakaman My kind of lady. This is seriously the first Capcom female character I'm totally eager to play as!

    And yet another lady that we will never see, care for and most likely hate takes the spotlight over well deserved classic characters such as Claire, Jill, Rebbecca, Ada!

    Awesome capcom. Awesome.

    If she has the kind of attitude that accompanies that look, I'd gladly leave her for bait.

    As long as coop isnt forced ill be happy. I dont want to play as that girl.

    And if coop is forced, please please please allow friendly fire. If the ai is anything like re5, ill be throwing a lot of cathartic rounds her way.

    What about when your AI partner goes to snipe something and fires clip after clip into your back because, for some reason, they can't tell that you being in the way is the reason they aren't killing zombies?

    I'm really disappointed that there's not going to be any bromance between Chris and Leon. But hey, big surprise, Capcom is giving us another female character who will likely just serve as some T&A and lack any depth whatsoever.

    Byzantine As far as I can tell, no T&A yet. Just a lady with good fashion sense. While I would've liked to see Leon and Chris team up as well, I'm grateful Capcom's finally made a chick who doesn't just let her assets hang out.

    Here's hoping her personality matches her "take no prisoners" look.

    Indeed,it's about time they went for brains and not boobs.Here's to hoping.

    RabidChinaGirl, that's why I said "likely". Considering all the female characters have served only as T&A in the most recent entries of this series, i'm expecting that trend to pretty much continue.

    I mean, just look at the way she's standing. People don't just stand like that. It is, in all honesty, a great example of the "male gaze" at work. I mean, come one, they don't have leon standing with his hip cocked and a feisty bad boy look. He just looks like he is about to get shit done, when she is clearly trying to tantalize. I mean, Leon isn't even looking at us as viewers, but she totally is! I'm calling it now, she'll lack any depth and just be T&A.

    Wait.. Better then sheva i dont think so. Her torso is way shorter then her legs. Nothing was wrong with sheva its just that people thought classics deserved the place she got If sheva was an original everyone would have loved. Her. And sheva knew how to handle a gun This girl in the trailer seemed all moppy saying this was all my fault and stuff. sheva never played the victtim she saved chris and had his back like a good partner it was the game resident evil 5 itself that turned people off not the characters if this girl gets a more positve feed back because she wearing a vest and some pants then Imwill make it my mission to get her down points. And by the way sheva shoes was not even that bad people are acting like she was in stiletoes. Please. If im not the only one who lves sheva make it a trending topic to bring her back in. A future game.
