In its earliest stages, Resident Evil 2 featured rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy, who has become a mainstay, and a completely different character named Elza Walker.

The two were never planned to meet, either, whilst their actions would have influence over the other's story arc.

Whilst a novel idea, this was scrapped in favour of bringing in another new character, Claire Redfield. This was to give the game a link to the first game, thus strengthening the need to franchise the series out.

Gone but not forgotten, Claire retains the biker notion intended for Elza, as well as a fitting tribute costume to her in the remake.
