Resident Evil Village introduces one of the most praised villains in its history, Lady Dimitrescu, and her band of vampire daughters. Her origin story includes her time before the Great War to her connection to Mother Miranda.

As one of the four lords under Mother Miranda, Alcina Dimitrescu plays a big part in the abduction of Rosemary Winters. She was responsible for holding onto the Head Flask and butchered all of her servants for their biomass under Miranda's order.

Alcina Dimitrescu's origin story and connection to Miranda in Resident Evil Village

Lady Dimitrescu caught the eye of fans in a heartbeat with her daunting presence and sinister tone. She and her three daughters haunt Ethan Winters for a good chunk of the Resident Evil Village.

Under Miranda's command, Lady Dimitrescu was selected to run the village in Resident Evil outside her castle instead of being a host for Eveline's resurrection. She aided Miranda in the Cadou Parasite research by killing her subjects for the blood substinance that she lived on.

Miranda's influence

Alcina was born a noble before the Great War and traces her lineage back to Cesare, one of the mountain village's founders. After the Second World war, she moved to her family's estate and lived off of the vineyard there.

Lady Dimitrescu was likely infected immediately upon her arrival without much warning to limit her free will so that Miranda could implant her influence. Eventually, Lady Dimitrescu came into contact with Resident Evil Village's Blood Cult led by Miranda.

In 1958, Miranda lured Alcina Dimitrescu into the crypt beneath the village and infested her with the Cadou Parasite. Over time, the experiment that Miranda initiated mutated Alcina's body into a massive, dragon-like creature who possessed rapid healing abilities.

The parasite's purpose was to determine if Dimitrescu was a worthy candidate for a parasitic intelligence. Alcina previously suffered from porphyria and needed a constant supply of fresh blood to live on, and the mutations worsened her condition.

Dimitrescu never gained full access to the Cadou Parasite or its research, but the effects spilled over to a great extent. The three bodies she brought for the Cadou eventually morph into her three daughters.

She made a great effort to care for her daughters and felt indebted to Miranda for their creation. The four preyed upon the village dwellers, and Alcina used their blood to make her family's famous wine.

Her time as a Lord

Seeing herself as the greatest of the lords in Resident Evil Village, Lady Dimitrescu ruled her castle in Resident Evil Village with a special cruelty. She loathed the other lords, especially Heisenberg, and referred to him as an incompetent idiot countless times.

She hated being treated like others and saw herself above them on all standards. Her ruthlessness carried over to her subjects when she frequently replaced them whenever she saw fit.

Resident Evil Village's vampire queen holds a certain place in the hearts of fans, leaving a mark that won't be forgotten. Her devotion to Miranda and her brutal treatment of her lessers have sparked the flames of an ingenious villain.
