Alcina Dimitrescu, better known as Lady Dimitrescu, is a fictional character in the 2021 survival horror game, Resident Evil Village, developed and published by 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 protagonist Ethan Winters. Dimitrescu governs the village alongside three mutant lords under the oversight of a supreme leader known as Mother Miranda.
Following initial previews and demos of Village released by Capcom between late 2020 and early 2021, Lady Dimitrescu unexpectedly rose in popularity internationally 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 well before the release of Village on May 7, 2021, attributing the rapid surge of fan interest in the character to various aspects of her appearance and sex appeal.
Most of her past a mystery, Dimitrescu suffered a hereditary blood disease prior to meeting Miranda who infected her with the Cadou parasite to see if she was compatible for her plans to revive her daughter. Although bestowed with profound regenerative capabilities and eternal life, Alcina's preexisting blood disease required her to ingest large quantities of human blood and flesh on a regular basis to maintain her condition, increasing her size while siring her "daughters" Daniela, Bela and Cassandra. The Dimitrescu family was closely associated with the noble Beneviento, Moreau, and Heisenberg families, and maintained an alliance with them in controlling the region. This control allowed Dimitrescu's family to rule her castle with barbarous cruelty, regularly taking in new staff to replace those who were taken to the dungeon to be killed with their blood used to create an enriched red wine.
Ethan Winters was captured by Dimitrescu's daughters and strung up on a wall to be drained of blood, but manages to free himself and kill the daughters one at a time. This infuriates her as she ignores Miranda's orders to personally kill Ethan, forced into mutating into her true dragon-like form while confronting Ethan within her estate's family crypt and ultimately dies at his hand.
