While Umbrella was spending millions of dollars and employing hundreds of personnel in their T-Virus project, Alexander Ashford's daughter, Alexia, was conducting her own research in the Antarctic base commissioned by her father. She was only 10 years old at the time. The rumors of the girl genius who was conducting research at this level at such a young age even reached the ears of William Birkin. For proud William, this was a great shock and humiliation, but it also spurred him to take his research into the G-Virus to even greater heights.

The virus ceated by Alexia was truly brand new, combining DNA from a queen ant and DNA from plants with the Progenitor Virus. But this new T-Veronica virus had one giant hurdle to overcome. Upon injection, it worked too fast to transform the cells of its host, often destroying the brain and rendering it useless for B.O.W. purposes. Alexia discovered this when she tested out the virus on her own father, Alexander and she resolved to find a way for host DNA to coexist with the virus. The answer she came up with was cryogenic sleep, which would control the speed at which the virus assimilated itself and let the host mantain its intelligence. According to her calculations, full assimilation with the virus in this manner would take 15 years, a long time by any standards. Regardless, Alexia injected herself with the virus and entered the cryogenic capsule, while her twin brother Alfred watched over her.

Fifteen years later, Alexia awoke to confirm that her plan had worked and that her body now coexisted in harmony with the T-Veronica virus. Without losing her brilliant mind or sense of self, she underwent a transformation into a new type of creature. However, she became drunk on her new power and began a warped plan to spread her "glory" to the whole world. The virus wrought a new evolution on her body and she resembled a giant queen ant. During this evolutionary process, she was wounded by Chris Redfield and lost the balance between herself and the virus. Her fallopian tubes destroyed, her dreams for spreading a new race of T-Veronica infected Alexia creatures across the world dashed, she came to a miserable end at the hands of the Redfield siblings.
