Resident Evil’s Eveline plays an important role in the Winters story arc of RE7 and RE: Village, but it can seem pretty complicated in the grand scheme of things. She’s exceptionally creepy, and she will stop at nothing to cause trouble for poor Ethan and his wife Mia. You might be wondering exactly who is RE’s Eveline, and what led her to become such a destructive force over the years.
This guide contains spoilers for her story, so this is your initial warning. If you’re interested in the lore of the Resident Evil games, be sure to check out our other Resi guides, including our bios on Resident Evil’s Lady Dimitrscu, Resident Evil’s Krauser, the Resident Evil Tyrant, and many more. We’ve also got a list of all the Resident Evil movies in chronological order, in case you fancy a big-screen adventure instead.
Here’s everything in our Resident Evil Eveline guide.
Who is Resident Evil’s Eveline?
Eveline is a genetically modified human that features in the Winters story arc told in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and its sequel, Resident Evil Village. Also known by her codename E-001, Eveline was developed by The Connections from a sample of dingy mold provided by Miranda (yes, that one). It also contains a sample of DNA from her deceased daughter, Eva.
Eveline was ‘born’ sometime in the early 2000s, but The Connections artificially aged her to make her appear as a ten-year-old child to suit her purpose as a bio-weapon capable of easy infiltration. You’d never expect that sweet little girl to be a literal weapon of mass destruction, right?
However, her creation became a controversial topic in the world of bio-weapons and weaponry. Not only because of the moral gray area of using a child for mass destruction but also because her ability to end battles through mind control essentially renders traditional bio-weapons, firearms, and chemical and nuclear weapons obsolete. Of course, the big weapon companies don’t want that!

What is Resident Evil Eveline’s personality?
Eveline is an artificially created bio-weapon, so it is safe to say her personality is a little hard to pin down. However, she undoubtedly shows her colors as a bloodthirsty, homicidal, and manipulative being. Yet, at times, it seems as though she doesn’t actually understand the evil nature of her actions.
She treads the border between a real and deeply traumatized young girl and a powerful, superhuman being, making her extremely dangerous. Her turbulent emotions lead her to lash out and use her powers to control those around her.
There is a human side to her though, as she sometimes displays her insecurity and humanity. At the end of the day, she wants a loving family to fall back on, which is where her jealousy toward Ethan’s daughter Rosemary likely stems from. These insecurities are highlighted by her inability to understand why Mia and Ethan dislike her and her clear lack of trust in anyone who claims they are trying to help her.
