Okay, so this one didn’t make the final cut into the game. It’s still cool! Resident Evil Rebirth Character designer Kenichirou Yoshimura explains how this image came to be: “In the beginning, we just made Chris’s textures a little blacker to first design a tentative Wesker. However, “Wesker” ended up looking a lot cooler than Chris so it made me think that “special forces” people should definitely wear black. Well, I went too far by making Jill’s clothes dark as well, because it made her look “kinky.””

A valid concern, but fanboys everywhere would’ve been thrilled to have this little number available as a bonus costume. How hard would that’ve been! Jesus, Capcom, sometimes we just don’t get you.

This outfit also gives us a glimpse at Rebecca’s previously unseen butterfly tattoo, located on her left arm. We’re forced to conclude that as an eighteen year old (the youngest member of the force), Rebecca either decided to go out and celebrate her recruitment by getting a totally fresh tat, or acquired it earlier in life through less legal hookups. There’s always the possibility that it’s a temporary, but come on. She’s got too much class for that.

Unfortunately, beauty comes at a cost: in this case, the chunks of skin that a zombie will make off with after an encounter with dream-date Becky. An outfit like this one is pretty much assured to be the downfall of any overconfident heroine up against the undead, but the problem is intensified by the fact that every zombie is going to want a piece. For reasons unkown, possibly workplace discrimination, there are no female zombies in Resident Evil Zero.

The image on the shirt seems to be in the style of ancient Japanese painting, leading us to believe that this particular God is Japanese in origin. However, Japanese mythology contains no fewer than four deities devoted to thunder, so your guess is as good as mine. The popular theory is that the shirt has been graced with a painting of the Thunder God Aji-Suki-Taka-Hi-Kone, who was said to have been carried up and down ladders as a child to calm his rage, thereby explaining the encroaching and receding sound of thunder. Heather seems to have more than a few freaky trips up and down rusty ladders herself, so it’s not too far of a stretch.

Okay, so it’s pretty stylish! But does it perform?! Well, not really. There’s nothing special about this costume (or most of her others) to give her that extra defensive kick in battle. But she does sort of blend in with the dark and depressing scenery of the Otherside, so we’ll give her the points. Interestingly enough, the code required for this costume at the password input selection screen is “GangsterGirl,” an occupation that Heather readily assumes regardless of attire thanks to her willingness to, as they say, bust mad capz.
