* ShoutOutThemeNaming: Is named after [[TheMuse Beatrice Portinari]], one of [[Creator/DanteAlighieri Dante's]] {{Love Interest}}s from the ''Literature/VitaNuova'', and is also identified as his guide to Heaven in ''Literature/TheDivineComedy''.

->'''Voiced by:''' [[Creator/SaraLafleur Sarah Lafleur]] (''DMC'', ''Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble''), Cristina Pucelli (''Viewtiful Joe'' [[note]]Silvia's audio, played in reverse, is used for all females who take her place in the extra characters' stories, Trish included; one of Lafleur's lines ("Dante...") is used in Dante's story, however[[/note]]), Creator/LuciChristian (''The Animated Series''), Danielle Burgio (''[=DMC4=]'', ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3''), Creator/WendeeLee (''[=DMC5=]'')

AirplaneArms: While running in her Devil Trigger form.

** Similar to Trish, Lucia is an artificial demon created by a villain. Unlike Trish, however, Lucia is not a villain at any point in the story. Aside from her [[GoodWearsWhite white cape]] and [[RedIsHeroic red hair]], she has a dark, muted color scheme but still hunts demons to defend her home and family.

** Dante and Nero are {{Human Demon Hybrid}}s who fight to protect the world from both evil demons and humans.
*** Nero gets extra points for his name being the Italian word for "black".
** Trish and Lucia are demons created by the villains Mundus and Arius, respectively. Trish pulls a HeelFaceTurn due to a combination of Mundus's cruelty and Dante's kindness to her, becoming the latter's partner in DemonSlaying. Lucia remains steadfast in her duty to defending humans even after learning her dark origins.
*** Trish also wears black leather.

* ArtificialHuman: Or Artificial Demon anyway.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Not at first, but by the end of ''1'', this applies to Trish following her HeelFaceTurn. Full-blood electrical demon who wears black clothing, but fights to protect humanity.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Aside from her white cape and red hair, she has a dark, muted color scheme [[spoiler:and turns out to be a full-blooded artificial demon]] but still hunts demons to defend her home and family.

* ActionGirl: Lucia is the first playable example of this in the entire franchise. She gets her own campaign in ''2'' and is also a capable demon hunter just like Dante.
* AirplaneArms: While running in her Devil Trigger form.

** Trish wears a [[MsFanservice revealing]] [[HellBentForLeather leather]] outfit and fights with a sword and guns, just like Dante and Nero. She is also much more willing to pulling morally questionable stunts like encouraging Lady's wrong impressions about her leading to a fight in the anime and giving the Sparda sword to the villains in ''4''. Trish even started out as a villain, suggesting that her occasional unscrupulous moments may be a result of her initial alignment.

* FireForgedFriends: Trish, Lady and Nero initially had antagonistic relationships with Dante.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Dante, Trish and Lady have this dynamic among themselves, and Nero and Dante do as well. Their interactions are often heavy with sarcasm and mockery but they will be their for each other when it really counts.

*** Unlike Trish and Lucia, Lady is a human with no demonic heritage, relying on her skills with guns. She is also very openly hostile towards Dante for being part demon initially, though she gets over this once she realizes Dante's heroism.

** Trish and Lucia are demons created by the villains Mundus and Arius respectively. Trish pulls a HeelFaceTurn due to a combination of Mundus's cruelty and Dante's kindness to her, becoming the latter's partner in DemonSlaying. Lucia remains steadfast in her duty to defending humans even after learning her dark origins.

** V wears black clothing, controls three shadowy familiars who look like bosses from the first game and has a very mysterious air about him. He is still a good guy and [[spoiler:is revealed to be the human half of Vergil.]]

* DualWielding: Dante, Trish and Lady often wield [[GunsAkimbo two guns at once]]. Lucia does this with her cutlaseer swords. Dante also dual wields the Agni and Rudra elemental swords at once in ''3'' and the Cavaliere buzzsaws in ''5''.

** Lucia is the most blatant example in the entire franchise. She wears a white cape, her name is Latin for "light" and her Devil Trigger more resembles an angel than a demon. Like Trish, Lucia was created by a villain but was never evil.

* TheMusketeer: Dante, Trish and Nero use guns and swords in their arsenals. Lucia relies on bladed weapons and a crossbow, Lady relies entirely on guns and grenades, and V is a wizard who uses his demon familiars.
* NamedWeapons[=/=]ICallItVera: Their weapons all tend to have specific names, sometimes given to them by the heroes such as Lady's Kalina Ann, Dante's Ebony & Ivory and Nero's Red Queen and Blue Rose.

** Lady is the butch girl, being the most abrasive and confrontational, and having short hair and scars. Trish is the femme one, having longer hair, [[MsFanservice sexual outfits]] and having more stereotypical female hobbies like shopping. Lucia is the in-between; she has long hair that she wears [[BraidsOfAction in a braid]] and is more feminine than Lady but not to the extent of Trish.

* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:Although when your father is ''Arkham'', it ''has'' to be done.]] She considers this an act of grave responsibility and even for all the vengeance that was powering her motivation it's not something she takes any joy in. [[spoiler:This comes back around when cautioning Nero against killing Vergil in ''5'', showing she never really let go of the hurt of having to act as the arbiter of her father's demise, evil man as he may have been]].

* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:Although when your father is ''Arkham'', it ''has'' to be done.]]

** Although it's not outright stated, it's hinted at that Lady at one point loved her father deeply. One of the first hints was when [[spoiler: Arkham faked his death she almost immediately believed his lies about being manipulated, and accepted what Arkham said without any hesitation or questions.]] The second hint is near the ending. [[spoiler: After being defeated by Dante in a duel, she requests that Dante free her father from his madness revealing that hatred isn't the only thing motivating her.]] Finally [[spoiler:After being defeated by Dante and Vergil Arkham is killed by Lady, despite all that Arkham had done Lady still continues to refer to him as her father before pulling the trigger. Lady's crying afterwards hints that she really didn't want to do it despite all of her hate, and shows she was trying to convince herself to hate him the entire time.]]

* LivingBattery: In ''5'' she is used as one for Artemis.

[[caption-width-right:250:"Date a demon? I'm not that desperate!"]]

* BootsOfToughness: Unlike Trish, Lady opts for more practical combat boots. Although, the boots she wears in ''4'' have notable high heels, making it less practical.
