**Yuri Matsuda** 松田ゆり (1976-2005) *was a former* *Umbrella USA & TRICELL researcher who was a child prodigy turned into bio-weapon asset used by Umbrella, she is known for being the cause of the 2005 JFK Airport bio-terrorist attack due to tensions and the threat of her daughter* **Olivia Matsuda** *undergoing experimentation by* **Albert Wesker** *to test the effects of a plaga on a teenage host. She was killed in 2005 after her own daughter Olivia underwent the process of a dominant Las Plagas parasite which lead to her mauling Yuri to death in the New York TRICELL facility.*

## *Early Life (1976 - 1990)*

Yuri grew up in an unknown small town located near the Arklay Mountains which bordered the nearby Raccoon City. She is half japanese and half filipino. As a child she was intrigued by the studying of the human body and dedicated her high school years to get into that, Yuri was a child prodigy and had graduated from her local high school at the young age of 14. Due to her exceptionally well scoring and marks, she was noticed by **Annette Birkin** an Umbrella USA researcher and was given an opportunity to intern as an associate at an Umbrella University located in downtown Raccoon City.

## *Intern at Umbrella University (1990 - 1992)*

For 2 years Yuri worked as an intern for studying injuries on the human body by bacterial and viral infections. She was positioned at the Umbrella University located in downtown Raccoon City by Annette and was known as one of the more skilled and efficient workers there respectively. At a point of time in early 1992 Yuri had began speaking to an Umbrella researcher and over the course of time built a relationship which by the end of the year led to the birth of Yuri's one and only child **Olivia Matsuda.** It is unclear what happens to her fiance, but he left Yuri at an unknown point in time.

## *Umbrella USA Origins (1992 - 1998)*

In 1992 after 2 years of internship and at the age of 16, being a child prodigy Yuri was chosen by the Umbrella Corporation to be a full-time researcher of genetic factors and disease effects on the human body. Yuri now a single mother, had no choice but to accept the offer to support herself and her newborn baby girl. These early years in her career were quite a struggle, with **Olivia** being mainly watched by Umbrella associates in a nearby daycare while Yuri was at work. Yuri continued this practice for 6 years and until the incident of Raccoon City, had no idea what the true intentions of Umbrella was. (To produce bio-organic weaponry for usage and profit.)

Also unknown to Yuri until it was too late, higher Umbrella employees known as "Monitors" secretly ran tests of Olivia's DNA & genetics to see if she was fit for a possible new B.O.W.

## *Dark Truth of Umbrella (1998 - 2003)*

In 1998 Yuri was at this point quite an important asset for Umbrella, despite not knowing due to lies used by higher Umbrella ID's (Annette) Yuri was working on the effects of the T-Virus in humans and animals. She did overtime noticed the horrible mutation process but at this point in time Umbrella had enough supremacy and security to cover up the truth and as such, it was unknown until the 1998 Raccoon City Destruction Incident. Yuri at this point in time knew the effects of the virus and luckily weeks before the incident was transported to a different Umbrella USA facility. During the incident Yuri soon realized that Umbrella was responsible and she was partly responsible. However due to the secrecy and hidden motives by the U.S Government covering up the incident as a "nuclear disaster", Yuri's position in Umbrella was maintained for a number of years, however she now had full knowledge of the effects of B.O.W's in action thanks to notes by Annette Birkin and the effects of the T-Virus in Raccoon City. Yuri worked for the Umbrella Corporation and cared for her daughter **Olivia** until the company was completely shut down by the U.S GOV in 2003.

## *Involvement with TRICELL (2003 - 2005)*

In 2003 Yuri due to the U.S Government shutdown of Umbrella USA and a complete suspension of all of their power Yuri lost her job and desperately needed to work in order to sustain herself and her daughter Olivia. She had an older contact which was later known to be **Albert Wesker.** In late 2003 Wesker was gaining more and more power in order to establish slow and steady steps for his doomsday project dubbed "Uroboros", however before then Wesker did appoint several researchers (One of whom being Yuri) and established connections with TRICELL, a pharmacy giant known to study "human biology", TRICELL was in fact corrupt like Umbrella and had a twisted side of bio-weapon research. A problem which would have to arise with the position transfer of Yuri from Umbrella to TRICELL. Yuri feared for her own life and Olivia's knowing the murky side of both giants who were glad to execute anyone in their way to cover up such horrible experimentation. Yuri tried to confiscate essential info proving TRICELL and Umbrella USA's involvement in different B.O.W research, but was caught by fellow R&D partners and Wesker himself.

In the early weeks of December 2005, Yuri was apprehended by the higher ups at TRICELL (Coordinated by Albert Wesker) and due to her actions would soon found out her daughter **Olivia Matsuda** would be kidnapped and subjected to experimentation of a new possible B.O.W in the works, Yuri was absolutely destroyed mentally by the news and was simply confined to her own screams in a locked room at the TRICELL D1 Facility in NYC. As a counter offer, Yuri was approached by Wesker himself for "a deal", and was given an opportunity to see her daughter again. But only if she succeeded in deliberately releasing samples of the T-Virus & Las Plagas spores at the **John F Kennedy International Airport** located at the edge of NYC.

On December 21st during the afternoon **Yuri Matsuda** using a TRICELL clearance ID managed to enter John F Kennedy International Airport & make her way to the main international waiting terminal **(Terminal 4)**, there she snuck by security cameras and via the food court released T-Virus samples & egg spores of Las Plagas parasites, in a matter of seconds Yuri had fled the scene and despite the heavy security was unnoticed by TSA while being there. In a matter of mutual minutes civilians at the terminal began to start coughing and or mutated and became zombies. However some people due to their plaga infestation retained their knowledge but coughed up plaga spores (nearly invisible to the eye) turning into "Ganado" like creatures, very similar to the likes of Ganado encountered in rural Spain.

## *Personality*

Yuri was known as a very focused and calm person during her years, also being very quiet and mainly anti-social for the most part. She was seen to be caring and most importantly influential for others, this can been seen when she deeply cared for her daughter Olivia and constantly worried about her during her single mom years & during her time researching for Umbrella USA. This ultimately was her downfall however as Wesker took advantage of this and used her to commit a deadly mass terrorist attack just to see her daughter again, however when the time came it was simply too late as Yuri was brutally murdered by Olivia when she became infected with *Las Plagas.*
