Resident Evil: Sheva Alomar

Ok the last of the Resident Evil posts today. This one is for the Resident Evil 5 Heroine Sheva Alomar. Sheva is a B.S.A.A. (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) agent that Chris Redfield (one of the RE's main characters) teams up with in Africa. She proved to be an experienced operative and an extremely valuable asset throughout the game.
So what type of foot related content does Sheva have? Well... her standard costume has her wearing knee high boots but she has a couple of alternate costume where she wears sandals.
The outfit that offers the best view of her feet is a tribal costume that was available as DLC.
You can probably imagine how fun the game becomes seeing her in this. :-)
Resident Evil character tend to rely on weapons to dispatch their enemies but Sheva does have some additional Melee attacks available to her.
One is a very cool scissor throw.
In addition to that does have her share of kicks available to her. One is a pretty nice roundhouse kick.
She has a flip kick too but it's hard to get a good view of her feet when it is being performed.
She seemed to have a Capoeira thing going in this Wesker fight as well.
There's also a clubbing outfit that shows some view of Sheva's feet as well.
I should probably mention Sheva's other alternate outfits as well. One of them is a sexy business woman suit complete with high heels. If you've played Resident Evil 4 Sheva reminds you of another character named Hunnigan wearing this.
 There's also a sexy Red Riding hood outfit with black leather boots and stockings. :-D
Another cool thing about the game is that similar to Excella, Sheva's voice and Motion capture actress Karen Dyer acted out some of Sheva's scenes in full costume 
Like Jill's model, Karen also cosplayed as her character for a bit.
As you can see she also cosplayed in the character's alternate outfits. :-D
In an interview Karen mentioned that as a model she had an alter ego known as Eva La Dare. She described the stage name as her bad girl persona. 
I added in a shot of her practicing bollywood dancing from her Instagram as well. ^_^
In addition to Karen, here are some shots of Sheva's facial model Michelle Van Der Water.
Michelle has a wikifeet page so I added in a couple from that as well. 😉

(All of these are Webfinds and Video Clip Caps of the Character. A Special Thanks to Breakthewalls for recommending Sheva's alternate outfits.)

Sheva herself is an awesome character. It not easy to replace a lead as amazing as Jill Valentine but Sheva fills the role of a partner/co lead character incredibly well. She's charming and friendly while also a badass fighter at the same time making her a great character in her own right. This is definitely a woman you would want watching your back. :-)

Some additional trivia and stats involving Sheva. She is 5'5" and weigh 115 lbs. Her blood type is AB+.   Sheva is also left-handed making her own of the few video game southpaws out there. ^_^

Ok guys a quick note: I extended the Thor Character Poll just to give people a little bit more time to vote in it. It will close out on Friday. I'm still rooting for my own personal favorite to gain some more votes in the poll too. 😃

Anyway thanks for reading and as always more to come soon!
