Figured out today that WMG pages are Spoilers Off. Making sure they follow the other spoilers-off pages of the franchise for consistency's sake.
!Per wiki policy, Administrivia/SpoilersOff applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.

** Didn't WordOfGod say that Phantom was Phantasmaranae's child. That doesn't mean that Phantom is a female himself, it just confirms that Phantom's mother is Phantasmaranae. Also, Phantom has a male voice.

This is what she's trying to Dante in mission 20 before he puts her at gunpoint; she's only doing this because Mundus told her. Now that her boss is dead, Trish is now sided with Dante.

[[WMG: Trish is Dante's mother, possessed by the soul of a lightning demon.]]
It would explain the resemblance. And just because someone's dead doesn't mean they can't be possessed. Perhaps Mundus put the soul in there himself. It would also explain her human form, which most (full) demons don't have - or if they do, it's just a disguise, whereas (as implied in the anime) Trish's human appearance actually IS her true form.
[[WMG: Adding to the theory above, Trish's resurrection in the first game is a result of Eva [[GrandTheftMe possessing her body back]].]]
In a subversion of DemonicPossession, Trish was KilledOffForReal the first time but her body was conveniently left intact for Eva to transfer her soul into. With all of the body's previous powers in addition to her newfound powers of ''LIIIIIIGHT'' (sorry, couldn't resist), "Trish" teleported conveniently to where Dante was facing off against Mundus, in order to aid her son. In the current games, she continues to keep up her appearance without explaining any of it to Dante, perhaps out of fear that he would devote himself more to protecting her rather than seeing her as a partner and putting his attention on world-saving. Or maybe he [[DumbIsGood just wouldn't understand]].

Added DiffLines:
[[WMG: Phantom is female, leading to UnfortunateImplications. That, and Dante has an irrational hatred of spiders]]
Running on this one guess, any of Dante's actions in [=DMC 1=] concerning the Phantom (whether as part of the story or optional through player intervention) can be seen in an entirely different light. Let's start with the beginning. Dante walks into the chamber with the Pride of Lion, and Phantom crashes in. We get a small exchange between the two. To paraphrase:
-->'''Phantom''': I sensed something a little bigger. What a disappointing catch.
-->'''Dante''': What a big surprise. I hope for your sake, you have something inside that big body of yours.
Phantom was only looking for food for its recently born offspring, and Dante goes ahead and calls her fat. No ''wonder'' Phantom got pissed enough to attack him. That's just in bad taste.
One boss fight later, Phantom is defeated and Dante obtains the Pride of Lion. Rather than go about his way to complete other tasks, he goes back into the room previous and ''slaughters Phantom's children''. He leaves, and Phantom (justifiably mad by this point) chases him down the hall. He escapes, comes back, goes into another room and shoots/stomps ''more'' of her children then uses their blood to buy himself nice things.
One more hallway chase later, and Phantom attempts to end Dante for the last time. He, being the JerkAss that he is, tricks her into impaling herself on a statue and finally kills her. If that wasn't bad enough, the father Phantom shows up in the second game to get revenge, and Dante kills him too! All they were trying to do was feed their children, man, what a jerk.
* What must also be mentioned is Phantasmaranae, one of Bayonetta's summons in the game... Bayonetta. Has children, check. Is blatantly a female, check. The same species as Phantom, check. All of this is pretty much confirmed.
[[WMG:Trish's HighHeelFaceTurn is only possible with her death.]]
If you noticed her talking with Mundus, her eyes are shown red, meaning she is controlled by him into revealing her true nature when she didn't want to; otherwise, Dante would mouth off her, which he has done it. When Trish is captured, she is by her free will into TakingTheBullet. Therefore, when she comes back to life, Trish is free to do what she wants, including siding with Dante.
[[WMG:Dante was on to Trish from the start]]
Dante knew Trish was a demon sent by Mundus from the start. That's why he never seems interested in why she just runs off after they get to Mallet Island, or how she can shoot lightning out of her hands, or why she looks like his mother. He's also not very surprised when she finally attacks him. He knew how suspicious the whole set up was, but decided to go along with it because why not? (He even purposefully brings Force Edge instead of Rebellion!)
[[WMG:Trish's HighHeelFaceTurn comes from the fact that she's a PunchClockVillain.]]
This is what she's trying to Dante in mission 20 before he puts her at gunpoint; she's only doing this because Mundus told her. Now that her boss is dead, Trish is now sided with Dante.
