About Jill Valentine in brief
Jill Valentine is a fictional character in the Resident Evil video game series. She was introduced as one of two player characters in the original Resident Evil game. Valentine is the protagonist of several Resident Evil games, novelizations, movies, and other media. She has received both acclaim and criticism with regard to gender representation in video games. In the 2002 remake of the original game, her appearance was based on Canadian model and actress Julia Voth. Valentine has also featured in several other game franchises, including Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom and Project X Zone. Fans criticized her appearance as an example of whitewashing during development of the series. Alternate costumes as rewards for players have been a staple of Resident Evil series since the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The ability to dress as Valentine in her Resident Evil: Nemesis miniskirt and Sarah Connor costume in Resident Evil 3 has also been a popular reward for players of the game. She is a former member of Delta Force and a founding member of the United Nations’s Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance. She and her partner Chris Redfield fight the Umbrella Corporation, a pharmaceutical company whose bioterrorism creates zombies and other bio-organic weapons. In later games, such as the 2002 Resident Evil remake, Resident Evil The Umbrella Chronicles, and Resident Evil 5, her features were based onCanadian model and Actress Julia Voths. In Resident Evil 5, she is portrayed as a test subject in research experiments in a pale blonde hair, pale pale skin, and tight outfit– described as the effects of the experimentation of the new battle suit.
She also appears in the Resident Evil film series, portrayed by actress Sienna Guillory. The series has been praised for its portrayal of women and considered Valentine significantly less sexualized than other female game characters. Some commentators argued she was weakened as a protagonist by attributes that undermined her role as a heroine, specifically an unrealistic body shape that did not reflect her military background. The character has also received criticism for her overtly sexualized costumes, which have been criticized for not reflecting her character’s military background or military experience. In Residential Evil 3, Jill is modeled after Russian model Sasha Zotova, and in the 2020 remake Resident Evil 2, Jill is modeled after model Sasha Zotova, as well as Russian model Katerina Kuznetsova and Russian actress Sasha Zolotova in the film Nemesis 2: Judgment 2 and in the remake Resident Evil 3, Jill is modeled after Russian model and actress Sophia Zoltan Koznetsov in Resident Evil 4 and the remake Resolution 5. The characters have been redesigned several times over the course of the series, with the latest redesign focusing on how both characters had aged since the 1996 original game. The latest redesign for Resident Evil 5 features Redfield as protagonist; designers opted to focus on how they had aged.
