Alcina Dimitrescu (/ˈəlsɪniːɑːˈdɪmiːtrɛsk/ ; Japanese: オルチーナ・ドミトレスク, Hepburn: Oruchīna Domitoresuku), better known as Lady Dimitrescu, is a character in the Resident Evil survival horror video game series created by the Japanese company Capcom. One of the major antagonistic figures of Village, she is presented as a gigantic noblewoman with vampire-like traits who resides with her three daughters in Castle Dimitrescu, her stronghold within the vicinity of the titular Eastern European village encountered by Ethan Winters. Dimitrescu governs the village alongside three mutant lords under the oversight of a supreme leader known as Mother Miranda. Lady Dimitrescu's physical design was based on Polish model Helena Mankowska, while her voice acting and motion capture were performed by American theatre actress Maggie Robertson.
Following initial previews of Village, Lady Dimitrescu rose in popularity and has become subject to a significant amount of fan-driven labor, including fan art, cosplay, memes, and erotica. Journalists and commentators took note of the trend, which began before the release of Village in May 2021, attributing the rapid surge of fan interest in the character to various aspects of her appearance and sex appeal. Robertson's performance was positively received, and has won her several awards.
