Every Time Ada’s Saved Leon, Someone Leon Loves, Or Literally Anybody At All: An Ada Appreciation Post.

Every time Ada’s saved Leon, someone Leon loves, or literally anybody at all: an Ada Appreciation Post. The second installment of this post, except that my memory is a bit spotty in regards to this particular subject because she really does it so…so many times.

Shooting and killing the dog attacking him - the one that’s literally seconds away from doing away with him

Running over Mr X when he’s about to choke Leon out

Blowing up Mr X when he’s about to come back to life

This one is a bit iffy, but legit crouching over Leon’s prone body after he gets shot to shoot back at their attacker? Very sexy. She looks very protective there 1000/10

Patching him up after he gets shot so he doesn’t bleed out, despite the fact that it sets her back in her own pursuits

Giving him a rocket launcher that helps him kill an otherwise unkillable monster he’s trapped with

Saving Leon from getting choked out by shooting his captor

Leaving him useful items in re4, from weapons to info to puzzle pieces

Not shooting him in the back and killing him when she had direct orders to do so in re4

Preventing other people from killing him when she has direct orders to kill him herself - saving him from getting stabbed by Krauser - literally rushing to Leon after she hears about Krauser’s involvement

Saving both Leon and Ashley from Osmund Saddler when he goes to save Ashley by first shooting at Saddler as Saddler tries to to kill Leon and then

Preventing Saddler from going after Leon and Ashley by exploding the exit he flees out of, effectively trapping her in the room with a deranged person

Helping Leon find the cure to his and Ashley’s infection - also helping Luis Sera do the same

Not killing Leon when he’s choking her out. Which isn’t really saving him but damn, Leon’s lucky he only got stabbed in the leg

Providing background support for Leon when he’s fighting on multiple occasions (but most notably in re4 and re6)

Giving him another rocket launcher to help him defeat a (once again) unkillable monster that would otherwise be impossible to defeat

Giving him the keys to a jetski that helps not only Leon but also Ashley escape from an island about to explode

Shooting Deborah Harper as she’s mutating. Debatable, but I’m going to count it anyways. One could even argue that it was Helena she was saving

Giving Leon a ring which he uses to escape from a whole horde of zombies about to murder him later on. A ring which also provides him a way out of the catacombs and frees him and Helena from being trapped underground

Helping Leon and Helena fight Deborah, despite no actual benefit to herself, considering she could have legit just walked right around their battle and continued on her merry way without even letting Leon know she was there

Helping Sherry and Jake fight off infected and the chainsaw mutant

Saving Sherry Birkin from the chainsaw mutant by using her grappling hook and grabbing her out of the way

Helping random civilians on (by my admittedly shoddy count) two to three occasions? In re6 when they’re being attacked by infected in the streets.

Saving hundreds of thousands of people by defeating Carla Radames

Appearing in her helicopter after she’s presumed dead to save Leon and Helena from getting cornered by a small army of infected. Shooting at the groups of infected until Leon and Helena get to safety

Helping Leon and Helena defeat Simmons for the first time around while she’s in the helicopter 

Saving dozens of civilians on the rooftops when they’re being attacked by the enemies

Helping Leon and Helena to defeat Simmons the second time around

- Helping Leon and Helena climb the building without getting torn from the rope by Simmons (providing background support as they’re climbing)

- Fighting Simmons on her own in multiple instances while Leon and Helena provide backup support

- Saving Leon’s life every time he’s downed (which is up to the player and the gameplay, of course)

Fighting off Simmons (dropping him from the roof) when he’s seconds away from knocking Leon from the building and causing him to drop to his death 

Possibly saving even more people by killing Simmons’ next mutant experiment and exploding his labs

Giving Leon yet another rocket launcher to defeat a mutated creature that would otherwise be impossible to kill and who would probably kill thousands of other people if left alive, including Leon and Helena

Giving Leon a helicopter that will gave him a straight shot out of an infected and doomed city

Providing Leon with the means to not only prove his own innocence and Helena’s innocence, but to also put Simmons away and prevent him from hurting anymore people

Making the elevators work in Damnation so Leon and Buddy can escape despite, once again, no possible benefit to herself. This action, btw, involved her risking her life to stay in a place where her cover was blown to hack into the palace servers of the president and get the elevators working - in a building overrun by Lickers, Infected, and X mutants.

Edit: + that time Kendo had a shotgun on Leon and Ada swoops in to save him

Edit: + Let us also not forget that she didn’t follow through with shooting anybody when Leon asked her not to

Edit: + Dropping the ladder for Leon after the Birkin fight. It doesn’t exactly save him, but it’s certainly extremely helpful

Edit: + In RE2 OG (Leon B), Ada shoots at Mr X to draw him away from a cornered Leon at her own risk and then later throws him the rocket launcher to defeat Mr X. AND, 

Edit: + in Claire B, Ada still throws the rocket launcher - only its to Claire - despite them having never met! This allows Claire to defeat Mr X and survive

these are only the ones I can think of off the top of my head. if anybody remembers any others please let me know!
