If you’ve been anywhere near the internet for the past month, you know “the tall vampire lady” from Resident Evil Village, officially named Alcina Dimitrescu.
She and her thrall of vampire-like witches have been the apple of the collective internet’s eye ever since we saw them in promotional material.
That fervor only increased as more information on them slowly began to surface, reaching something of a fever pitch with the Resident Evil Village Showcase. We saw the witches up close, and saw quite a bit of Dimitrescu herself as well.
Alcina’s height is one of the biggest focal points for the adoration surrounding her. She towers over Ethan, to an intimidating degree. We’ve covered speculation on her true height before.
But how tall is she really? Art Director Tomonori Takano decided to finally answer that question on the Resident Evil Twitter account.
I hear her height is something of interest. If you include her hat and high heels, she’s 2.9m (approximately 9’6”) tall. These bewitching, vampiric characters are relentless in their pursuit of Ethan, and I can’t wait for you to meet them yourselves when you enter Castle Dimitrescu in May.

Nine and a half feet. For comparison, the tallest person in the world is only 7 feet, 7 inches. Nemesis isn’t even as tall as the tallest person, coming in at around 7 foot, 3 inches.
For further comparison, Resident Evil’s Proto Tyrant is 8 foot, 2 inches and Resident Evil 1’s T-002 Tyrant is 8ft, 7 inches, making Lady Dimitrescu a foot taller than both!

In other words, Lady Dimitrescu is taller than most of the humanoid villains in Resident Evil history.
If that’s not one of the coolest things to come from Village, I don’t know what is.
