Simone Ravendark is a survivor appearing in Dead Rising and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop.
She is encountered in the Players music store in Paradise Plaza during the scoop A Woman in Despair. Simone is found in hiding after being bitten by a zombie and requires Frank West's encouragement before she agrees to follow him to safety.
A Woman in Despair[]
- Main article: A Woman in Despair
Simone is a young woman who was bitten by a zombie after losing her family and boyfriend to the outbreak. Frank West finds her in a music store and tries to convince her to come back to the Security Room with him, promising that a helicopter is on its way to rescue them.
She is initially skeptical and will only agree to go if there is a medical technician who can help her. After Frank learns that Isabela Keyes is a medical technician and has been brought back to the Security Room, he informs Simone, and she agrees to follow him. She can then be escorted safely to the Security Room.
Simone the Gunslinger[]
- Main article: Simone the Gunslinger
After being rescued, Simone expresses concern about becoming a danger to the other survivors due to her bite wound, and asks Frank to retrieve a Handgun. If Frank fulfills her request, she promises she will only use it as a last resort if zombification becomes inevitable.
Infinity Mode[]
- Main article: Infinity Mode
In Infinity Mode, Simone appears in Jamming Juvenile at the Entrance Plaza from 4:00:00 to 4:07:00, and is armed with a Bowling Ball. In her equipment, she carries a jug of Milk, a Potted Plant, a Toy Laser Sword, a Ghoul Mask, and a Golf Club.
Trivia[]
- She is one of the youngest survivors in the game, along with Pamela and Heather Tompkins.
- There are zombies who use the same character model as Simone.
- In Chop Till You Drop, Simone is found on Day 1 rather than Day 3, and Isabela's involvement is not required for her rescue.
- Either Simone or Dr. Barnaby can be saved, not both. In order to recruit Simone, Frank must learn that Isabela is a medical technician with some experience with zombies during Case 6-1: Santa Cabeza. If Frank fails the case and Dr. Barnaby survives, Frank will be unable to save Simone, as Isabela will never tell them about her profession. As a result, Simone will refuse to come and will eventually die on her own. This means that it is necessary to complete Case 6-1 in order to save Simone.
- Simone's wound awards Horror points when photographed.
- Simone may disappear due to a possible glitch after defeating Kent Swanson in Photographer's Pride. Additionally, if Frank has eight survivors with him, including Tad Hawthorne, she will not appear, despite Tad not counting towards the Eight Survivor Rule.[Verification needed]
- Saving Simone is required to unlock the Transmissionary achievement, as her secondary scoop, Simone the Gunslinger, will not trigger unless she is rescued during A Woman in Despair.
- It is unknown whether or not she became a zombie after escaping from Willamette. It is possible that she received Isabela's vaccine, or she may have been forced to shoot herself before turning.
- The Dead Rising 2 blog Tape It or Die later stated that zombie bites do not always result in infection, especially if they are not deep, which could potentially retroactively explain Simone's survival.
- Upon arriving at the Security Room, Simone mentions that she will check in with Isabela. Later, she tells Frank she was treated, suggesting Isabela successfully handled the wound. However, Simone remains concerned due to witnessing her family and boyfriend turn into zombies.
- Due to her close proximity to the Warehouse door in Paradise Plaza, Simone is considered one of the easiest survivors to escort, similar to Pamela and Heather.
- Simone is one of the few female survivors who can be equipped with the Small Chainsaw.
