Grace Ashcroft is the primary protagonist of Resident Evil Requiem — an FBI intelligence analyst who investigates the Rhodes Hill Care Center, the same facility where her mother Alyssa Ashcroft (a survivor of the Raccoon City outbreak) was murdered. Later in the story, Grace learns she was adopted by Oswell E. Spencer.
Background
Grace’s campaign is classic survival horror in first person: stealth, light management, and puzzle-solving rather than direct confrontation. She relies on her flashlight and wits — and on Emily, the blind girl she rescues from the isolation ward, who can read the Braille needed for the Star Quartz puzzle.
Key Traits
- Playstyle: First-person stealth, light manipulation, puzzle-solving
- Signature Threat: The Girl (“Shadow Ghost”)
- Weapon Affinity: Handguns, especially the S&S M232
- Strengths: Quiet movement, environmental awareness, puzzle intuition
Story Role
Grace carries the emotional core of the game: her search for answers about her mother’s death, her bond with Emily, and her partnership with Leon. At the ARK she makes the game’s final choice about Elpis — release or destroy — which decides the ending. See the endings guide for what each choice means.
Notable Equipment
- B934: Starting handgun
- S&S M232: Superior handgun recovered from the Bar & Lounge, West Wing 2F
- Requiem: 12.7x55mm magnum revolver Leon hands to Grace during the story
