Kendra Daniels is the main antagonist of the 2008 video game Dead Space and its 2023 remake. She is a computer specialist aboard the USG Kellion repair vessel and an undercover agent working for EarthGov.
She was portrayed by Tonantzin Carmelo in the original game, while Brigitte Kali Canales portrayed her in the remake.
Biography[]
Background[]
Little is known about Kendra's life prior to her journey to USG Ishimura, but it is very possible that she participated in many of EarthGov's spy missions. She was strongly recommended as a team member on the USG Kellion repair vessel by the CEC.
USG Ishimura Incident[]
Immediately after an emergency landing on the USG Ishimura in the launch hangar, the crew of the USG Kellion goes to the waiting room on the Flight Deck. After activating the quarantine in the waiting room, after a short while the entire crew is attacked by the Necromorphs, almost immediately massacring two of the ship's pilots. Kendra manages to bypass the door lock and runs away with Hammond, while Isaac runs away through the other exit to look for some place without the Necromorphs. After the cable car is repaired, Kendra and Hammond go to the Bridge. Hammond will have him return to Kellion to have him start up a damage report. Unfortunately, the ship explodes, destroying the three survivors' only escape route. After a short while of searching for information about the ship's captain on the officers' computer, Kendra and Hammond are attacked by Leaper and separated.
Kendra escapes from the Bridge and loses Hammond. After a long wandering, Kendra manages to find refuge in Ishimura's Computer Core. She manages to contact Isaac and Hammond through their RIG suits, telling them where she is and that she has hacked the base and has access to everything, so she can actively assist them on a repair mission by opening blocked doors, telling them where to go and discovering what really happened on the ship. Kendra openly distrusts Hammond, claiming that he hides something about the Marker and knows much more than he says. Kendra is also more nervous, telling them to abort the entire mission and focus on escaping from the ship.
Later in the game due to the Marker's influence, Kendra begins to hallucinate, causing her to see her brother on the monitor screen waving his hand at her as if nothing had happened. Kendra tells Isaac that "that's not possible," which could mean her brother is most likely dead or never sent to work aboard the ship. Apparently, Kendra forgot about her hallucinations, telling Isaac that he had gone mad himself. It is very possible that she is not fully aware of her damaged sanity and consciousness, or her hallucinations were just a trick.
Remake[]
Kendra's 2023 remake counterpart is more sympathetic than her original counterpart. In it, she's in friendly terms with Hammond. While she still betrays Isaac, she is remorseful on it and that she wishes him luck in finding his own way out of the Ishimura. On the top of that, she's working against EarthGov as after seeing what the Marker does, she attempted to send it into outer space and away from their hands. She revealed Nicole's death to Isaac for his own good. When the Hive Mind is going berserk, she attempted to reach out to Isaac, who attempted to save her before its tentacle crushes her into a smear.

Trivia[]
- Kendra mentions seeing her brother at one point, indicating that she has a sibling. However, she claims that the experience was "impossible", implying that her brother is either dead or was never assigned to work on the Ishimura. Considering that the Marker tends to use hallucinations of dead relatives to manipulate the mind, the former is more than likely the truth.
- Kendra was named one of the "Hottest Video Game Babes of 2008" by Maxim Magazine.
- She is similar to Daina Le Guin from Dead Space 2, as both are female agents initially acting as guide for Isaac Clarke before turning traitor against him with plans related to the Marker. Both characters have a brother.
- In the remake, it's implied Kendra is a lesbian. After Isaac says he listens to Nicole's messages because he misses her, Kendra tells him "Don't blame you. I'd rather listen to my girlfriend over Hammonds reciting security protocols"; rather than swap out the term for "boyfriend" or "lover".
- This change may be due to LGBTQ being more openly accepted unlike when the first iteration of Dead Space came out.
