Leon and Ada& #39;s relationship throughout RESIDENT EVIL franchise depicted by some TV Tropes [https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">] https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚔" title="Entgegenkommender Polizeiwagen" aria-label="Emoji: Entgegenkommender Polizeiwagen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👠" title="High Heels" aria-label="Emoji: High Heels"> #Aeon #LeonxAda https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Samaritan Relationship Starter" or "Rescue Romance"

This is how their relationship starts! She& #39;s gonna save his ass so many times, it& #39;s even going to become a running gag in the franchise. He saves her a lot too, but well Ada& #39;s already a pro in keeping her babe safe #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
If we were to take into account how many times she does this without him even knowing, or how eager he is to do the same for her, we should add "Mysterious Protector" and "Declaration of Protection" as well. They& #39;re REALLY into keeping each other& #39;s safety. #Aeonhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Say My Name"

Well, I don& #39;t need to elaborate on this, because there are even full compilations taking care of this. Leon is completely obsessed with her name (I love him, okay?). #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">

"Belligerent Sexual Tension" & "Unresolved Sexual Tension"

Pointing their gun at each other& #39;s face one minute, placing a not-so-shy hand at each other& #39;s thigh the next. We all know what you two really want! #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Back-to-Back Badasses", "Battle Couple", "Male Might, Female Finesse"

“Y’know. We make a good team […]”, right Leon? Step on me mommy and daddy! lmaooo #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Colour Coded Characters"

did you know it was a very conscious decision by the development team to make Ada& #39;s colour palette contrast and complement Leon& #39;s one?

To Ada& #39;s deep red we have Leon& #39;s navy blue. (Take a look here: https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Claire_Redfield/development)">https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Clai... #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Motivational Kiss" (RE2R) and/or "Last Kiss" (RE2 OG)

little detail I LOVE: we can notice him adjusting his own weight so he can angle his head better and enjoy the kiss. It& #39;s ever so subtle, but it& #39;s there! gif here: https://66.media.tumblr.com/c78adbde69fca361c382a688a3fb20fd/tumblr_pmajd2xDk51s6ub5do6_250.gif">https://66.media.tumblr.com/c78adbde6... #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"The Mourning After", "Love Is a Drug", and "I Will Wait for You"

He spent the following 6 years after Raccoon obsessing about to which end Ada came off to (confirmed by Umbrella Chronicles!)

These two couldn& #39;t get over each other for more than FIFTEEN YEARS now, lmao. #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"The Lady& #39;s Favour", and "Lipstick Mark"

From Rocket Launchers, to an Anonymous Letter in that hut after Del Lago, to a signed letter and a paper airplane with lipstich marks, to a cute bear keychain, to a ring, and a pendrive in a make-up compact. #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Dating Catwoman"

Well, Leon can resign himself and, technically speaking, betray his country… But can Ada simply turn her back on everything she& #39;s involved with without this implicating putting Leon’s entire life at risk? (btw, this is my fave sequence) #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Butterfly of Death and Rebirth", "Butterfly of Transformation"

Her dress in RE4 carries references to a Chinese romantic allegory that, curiously enough, strongly fits with them. Read about it here: http://blog.tutorming.com/expats/butterfly-lovers-chinese-romeo-and-juliet-liangzhu

Also,">https://blog.tutorming.com/expats/bu... butterflies seemingly follow him around #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
Also, little sidenote, but please keep in mind that Ada is not Korean, nor Japanese, she& #39;s a Chinese (or Chinese-American) character, her motifs are extracted from the Chinese culture. Be mindful and considerate about this detail, it& #39;s important. #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Berserk Button", "If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Him/Her", "Undying Loyalty", "Violently Protective Girlfriend/Boyfriend"

As said before, they& #39;re very protective of each other, and they are prone to behave violently against anyone or anything each other in harm ways. #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Brainwashed and Crazy"

When Leon comes closer, we can see Ada reacting as if anticipating (and welcoming) a kiss. She lowers her guard, raises her hand gently towards his face and tilts her head slightly to the opposite direction so she can lean onto the it. But... #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Longing Look", "Held Gaze"

Oh, Leon& #39;s face looking at the place she& #39;s just been and left with a wistful expression. They way they communicate their feelings without saying a wordhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face"> #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Break His Heart to Save Him", "It& #39;s Not You, It& #39;s My Enemies", "Love Martyr"

RE2, RE4 and RE6 endings for their arcs in a nutshell. When will Ada be able to retire and settle down once and for all? #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Did They or Didn& #39;t They?" and "Secret Relationship"

Be it half a year after Spain in 2004, or late 2008 / early 2009 - like Damnation& #39;s director implied -, the fact is, these two have been hooking up for a long time now. #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
"Not So Stoic" and "Heroic BSoD"

Ada admits losing composure every time it involves Leon, but have you paid attention to his face whenever he thinks he lost her for good? #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
Now last, but not least!:

"Everyone Can See It" and "Shippers on Deck":

In-game characters that seen the two of them together KNOW there& #39;s something going on. Be it for their allies or for their foes, their feelings are just too damn obvious. #Aeon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧸" title="Teddy bear" aria-label="Emoji: Teddy bear">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💋" title="Kussabdruck" aria-label="Emoji: Kussabdruck">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💝" title="Herz mit Band" aria-label="Emoji: Herz mit Band">
