'''Ada Wong''' is a fictional character in Capcom's ''[[Resident Evil]]'' series. She is usually portrayed as a spy or covert operative whose motives are deliberately unclear.
Ada Wong is a fictional character in the "[[Resident Evil]]" video game series developed by [[Capcom]]. Known for her mysterious and enigmatic nature, Ada Wong has become an iconic and popular character within the franchise. She has appeared in various "Resident Evil" games, showcasing her intelligence, combat skills, and complex relationship with other characters.
Ada is closely associated with [[Leon_S._Kennedy|Leon S. Kennedy]], Raccoon City and the wider biological-weapons plots of the series. Her appearances often place her between opposing sides: she may help the protagonist, but she usually works towards her own objective.

Ada's main traits are secrecy, independence and tactical control. Capcom's Resident Evil Portal describes her as a spy who was present during the events leading to the destruction of Raccoon City, where she met Leon in 1998.
The character of Ada Wong was introduced in the second instalment of the series, "[[Resident Evil 2]]" (1998).
