Can someone explain to me what Leon's perks are and what Ada's perks ?

Like Rocky Spirit and bite the Bullet , how does it relate to Leon's character? Perks descriptions describe Leon focusing on targets that slip away, well I don't remember Leon focusing on a target that slipped away.

and Bite the bullet says that pain hurts you just as much as anyone else, but you prefer that others don't know that, this is literally something I've never seen Leon do.

and Interactive healing perk , how does it relate to Ada's character? I know she's a spy and a mercenary but I don't see what this perk has to do with Ada.

This post is not a sarcasm or a complaint, it is literally a question I want answer.

I appreciate any answer that is related to my question, even if the answer is simple.

    To be fair - Leons and Adas perks aren´t that bad overall.

    You can explain this. Leon - rookie - fixed on the misson - repair, Flashbang - y not - police thing, tough because Leon.

    Ada - Spy. Sneaky, clever tracking - observation, heals when others suffer.

    There are worse perk stories imo.

    Edit - focusing on the target slipping away - imo that means he focuses on the mission, and when the gens regress he sees it - the mission is to repair. Bite the bullet is just because since RE2 and RE4 he is tough as f.

    And with Ada healing i think she is silently profitting in the back - like in the games.

    Hmm… have to think of some situations. There are some but it is more that she takes advantages of situations i guess.

    The first that comes to mind - with a bit of fantasy - you can say at the end of RE4 after Leon fought the boss and was weakened she took the sample from him and escaped. (Even Leon is a bit different as she always helps him)

    I don't recall the plot of either RE2 or RE4 too well, but in both games wasn't she just letting Leon do all the dirty work just to snatch her prize (the G-virus and the Las Plagas thingy) from him at the end? I know that it doesn't go exactly that way because she's not as cold-blooded as she seems and clearly develops a soft spot for Leon (especially in RE4, since in Separate Ways we see how much she is actually helping him in the background), but I think that's the idea behind the perk, to represent the way she supposedly is as a mercenary.

    Things I think make sense within the constraints of the game:

    Ada

    Low Profile - I feel this makes sense with what we see of Ada. She's strongest on her own.

    Wiretap - Ada always knows what is going on, this is a good way to symbolize it.

    Leon

    Flashbang - Probably the closest they could get to a grenade

    What doesn't make sense:

    Ada

    Reactive Healing - I think this would make more sense as a Leon perk, especially RE 2 where when others fall Leon seems to get stronger.

    Leon

    Bite the Bullet - Yeah, doesn't really connect.

    Rookie Spirit - No idea, but at least the name is linked.

    As others have said, there's only so much you can do to incorporate a character into the already existing framework of DbD. It's a guess on my part, but I suspect BHVR has a wide array of perks built up and when they get a licensed character they try to figure out which of their perks would actually best fit.
