Alcina Dimitrescu

Background Much of Lady Dimitrescu's past remains a mystery. However, she is believed to have been born around 1914, as she became a mutant at the age of 44 around the late 1950s, and seems to have stopped aging in her mid-forties. Prior to joining the Four Houses, Dimitrescu was a jazz singer under the name "Miss D," where she would frequently sing with a band known as the Pallboys. Alcina would later inherit a specific disease in her blood from one of her ancestors, one that is quite similar to Progenitor Virus symptoms-wise. Because of this, she was taken into the village, where she survived being infected with the Cadou parasite and was given regenerative capabilities. She rules over a large castle as the matriarch of the Dimitrescu family, living with three women whom she considers her daughters, Cassandra, Bela, and Daniela.

Alcina mutated the three women, who survived and became vulnerable to cold temperatures due to their mutated form, which now consists of flies spawned from Cadou eggs injected into their original human bodies. She, like much of the inhabitants in the area, is a member of a dark cult that serves the being known only as "Mother Miranda," to whom she has loyalty but is not also above acting on her own accord against Miranda's wishes. It was Mother Miranda who infected her with the Cadou parasite, giving Alcina a host of extraordinary powers at the cost of needing to consume large amounts of human blood to sustain herself due to her blood disease.

Although Mother Miranda saw Alcina as a perfect candidate for a vessel for her late daughter Eva, the cult leader judged her as imperfect due to her insatiable thirst for blood. Alcina would become a member of the Four Houses alongside Karl Heisenberg, Donna Beneviento, and Salvatore Moreau, serving Miranda under their homes in the village. Despite the alliance between the four houses, Alcina frequently clashed with Heisenberg, seeing him as nothing but a child.

The Dimitrescu Castle became infamous, as many servants who came there wouldn't return, and the villagers came to see the castle as a place of blood and death and would avoid the area unless under extreme circumstances. Alcina would also use the blood of her victims to create a wine called Sanguis Virginis and would often infect her victims, who would become known as the Moroaicǎ and the Samca. Most of the Moroaicǎ were possibly former servants, considering that the Dimitrescu family was known to be replacing maidens through the years.

Some of these maidens that were turned attempted to escape, most notably Ingrid, who was murdered and turned by Alcina when she attempted to leave the castle for the courtyard. In addition, Alcina feared that she would be harmed by the dagger of deathly flowers and had it hidden in the family crypt while also having all the windows in the castle shut to protect her daughters.

Resident Evil Village After Mother Miranda captured Ethan and Mia Winter's daughter, Rosemary, the village fell into darkness with the Lycans massacring the villagers. Alcina was among the Four Lords when Heisenberg captured Ethan, and implored Miranda to hand Ethan over to her, but Miranda gave Winters over to Heisenberg. Alcina then argued with Karl, but Miranda stopped it by telling the lords that her decision was final, allowing Heisenberg to put Ethan in a show. After the meeting, Alcina returned to her castle, where she awaited the ceremony to commence. Her daughters would later capture Ethan, who managed to escape Heisenberg, and brought him to Alcina. Wanting to consume his blood, Alcina told her daughters to wait, as she needed to tell Mother Miranda that she had Ethan, and had Winters chained to the ceiling.

Ethan managed to pry himself from the chains and escaped the room and proceeded to adventure around the castle to find his daughter. Winters was confronted by Bela, Daniela, and Cassandra in the castle but killed them after discovering their weakness to cold temperatures. Upon finding her daughters' calcified remains, Alcina became distraught and decided to get revenge on Ethan despite Mother Miranda telling her to keep him alive. She proceeded to pursue Ethan across the castle, managing to pummel him to the dungeon, where she decapitated his hand.

After re-attaching his hand, Ethan managed to escape and succeeded in reaching the family crypt to retrieve the dagger. When Alcina grabbed Ethan and impaled him with her claws, he retaliated by stabbing her with the dagger, causing her to mutate into her dragon-like form. Alcina proceeded to attack Ethan across the top of the family crypt, saying that he would never see his daughter again, as the four lords had Rosemary. She was defeated and attempted to murder Ethan by crashing down the crypt but saw that he survived and cursed his name. After cursing Ethan, she calcified and crumbled into pieces, and Winters collected a fragment of Rosemary. Personality Alcina is a calm and collected woman of posh nature and elegant poise. She does not anger easily and can be snobbish towards those she thinks are beneath her. When she does get mad, though, her enticing appearance becomes a harbinger of wrath, and she is quite capable of holding grudges against those who have wronged her or failed her leader. Alcina has a strict, merciless, and cruel nature toward her maids, whose punishment ultimately leads them to their demise for breaking Alcina's rules.

While arrogant and untrusting of the other houses, she cares for her daughters and is protective of them, and while she is very loyal to Mother Miranda, she is not above being displeased with her decisions. Though Alcina was loyal to Mother Miranda, she was willing to betray her so she could get revenge on Ethan for killing her daughters. She also, given her vampiric and cannibalistic needs, quite literally, sometimes plays with her food.

Likely due to being mutated for decades and only having to answer to Miranda, Alcina has lost any human common sense and become delusional. She blames Ethan for killing her daughters, completely ignoring he only did so in self-defense because they were trying to kill him themselves. While assaulting him after hanging up on Miranda, she also says that he stole from her when nothing she would actually care about was taken. Alcina also had three chances to kill Ethan but blew them: his immediate capture, catching him in his dressing room, and surprising him in the dungeon.

Following her mutation, Dimitrescu’s aristocratic and regal demeanor vanishes, and she becomes far more frenzied and animalistic. Though retaining most of her personality and intelligence, she is also driven by hunger, likely in order to maintain her more unstable form, and makes multiple threats to devour Ethan. She also retains her arrogant and sadistic nature, although it leads to her death. Dimitrescu mocks Ethan over the fact that he will never see his own daughter again (likely viewing it as justice for murdering her own daughters, uncaring about their violent and maniacal nature).
