certain narrative segments of the game, while others are played from her perspective. In the upcoming remake of Resident Evil 4, the team aims to expand Ashley's characterization and relationship with Leon due to the former's fears. Unlike in the original, Ashley has been completely changed and can be called to maintain distance, come close, and be unable to be left at the safe spot anymore, as Capcom realistically wanted. Yasuhiro Ampo said, "As a character, we wanted to have her by your side so she left an impression, and as a game, having her hide while you went and fought in the original was fun in some ways. But having a character like Ashley and then having her basically disappear for a while felt like a waste. "We wanted to avoid that in the remake." Ashley's health bar was also removed. She gets downed after taking too many blows, and Leon must revive her to continue; if she is attacked while she is vulnerable, the game ends. Portrayal Carolyn Lawrence, who provided the voice for Ashley Graham in Resident Evil 4, described her character as "vulnerable, because Leon has to come to her rescue all the time". In June 2022, Ella Freya publicly disclosed that she is the face model of Ashley in the remake of Resident Evil 4. Appearances In Resident Evil 4 Ashley Graham is the newly-elected President Graham's 20-year-old daughter, kidnapped by Jack Krauser on her way home from Massachusetts and kept captive by the Los Illuminados in a European town. Leon S. Kennedy's first goal in the game is to find out where she is and bring her back. After meeting her, it becomes clear that she has been implanted with a Plaga parasite in order for the cult to gain control of her before returning her to America. The rest of the game is about Leon and Ashley trying to discover a solution to get rid of the parasites inside their bodies before they are taken over by Osmund Saddler. Leon and Ashley escaped the sinking island with a jet ski left by Ada Wong after Saddler was eliminated. Leon graciously declined Ashley's invitation to visit her at her home. Following that, they are both apprehended by US government agents and put into detention for debriefing.
