Resident Evil Village: The Sad Myth Behind Lady Dimitrescu and Her Daughters

July 26, 2021 Off By TheDashDouble

Since the release of Resident Evil Village, Lady Dimitrescu and her three daughters have captivated Resident Evil fans, inspiring a plethora of fan art, memes, and cosplays that have undoubtedly cemented their status as the game’s breakout characters.

There were a lot of questions regarding these figures leading up to the release of Resident Evil Village: Questions on whether these characters are vampires, and what is the significance of the daughters being created of flies? Most interestingly why is Lady Dimitrescu such a tall woman? All these questions were mercifully answered throughout Ethan Winters’ journey to the titular village.

Lady Dimitrescu’s Early Life

Lady Dimitrescu was born into aristocracy, but that didn’t stop her from dabbling in other fields while she was young. Miss D was a jazz vocalist and the namesake of the band “Miss D & The Pallboys” before becoming Lady D. During Ethan’s time at the castle, neither Dimitrescu nor her children make any mention of her musical career, thus this clue about Dimitrescu’s early life was carefully buried. A hint found inside Winters’ home, where a CD of her band’s CDs rests above a stack of jazz records gave it away. However, the most important lesson from this easter egg isn’t simply that she can sing, but that she used to be an individual with a regular height.

Following a visit to her ancestors’ homeland, the Village, in her early forties. Mother Miranda, a cult leader in the Village had been testing villagers with the Cadou parasite, which had just recently been unearthed and Dimitrescu was one of Miranda’s test subjects. Lady Dimitrescu became the towering, scythe-handed, nearly invulnerable lady she is now as a consequence of the experiment. However, the parasite had an unfavourable response to a blood condition that Dimitrescu had previously been diagnosed with. She had to eat human blood on a daily basis in order to stay alive.

She established her home at Castle Dimitrescu, her family’s ancient castle, where she helped control the Village while also maintaining a vineyard known for producing wine prepared from maidens’ blood. Lady D also experimented with the Cadou parasite, which leads to her having three daughters, but are they really her biological daughters though?

The Birth Of Lady Dimitrescu’s Daughters

If you are a Resident Evil Village player, then you should be accustomed to Lady Dimitrescu’s daughters. Their vampiric ability to burst into clouds of flies is menacing as they stalk Ethan Winters throughout the game’s castle region.

If you think these three are Lady Dimitrescu’s biological daughters then you are wrong. They are biologically unrelated to Lady Dimitrescu and in fact, they are presumably three village women experimented on by Lady D and Mother Miranda.

The two powerful village elders rendered their visitors unconscious before infecting them all with the Cadou parasite, which then laid eggs within each of them. The eggs eventually hatched, resulting in shapeshifting blowflies that slowly ate the women’s bodies. While those three peasants’ lives may have ended there, Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela Dimitrescu were born. The flies acquired each woman’s DNA during the harvest, allowing the bugs to mesh together to produce three near-perfect replicas of the women they just ate.

Dimitrescu adopted the trio as her own after seeing their freshly formed bodies, and the family of four would go on to consume the flesh, drink blood, and torment the residents of Castle Dimitrescu for almost 60 years until dying at the hands of Ethan Winters.

Resident Evil Village DLC is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox One X/S.
