Lady (Devil May Cry)

Lady, also known as Armed Hunter for Hire, Mary Ann Arkham and The Walking Arsenal, is one of the main characters from the Devil May Cry series.
== Charactah Account ==
Lady is a badass normal demon slayer formerly known as Mary and her current name came from Dante's penchant to just call her "Lady" after she refused to introduce herself.
Later, Lady seeks to kill her demon-worshiping father Arkham as revenge for Arkham murdering her mother years earlier, only to turn out to unwittingly be part of the key to Arkham and Vergil opening a Hell Gate. At climax of the game, she is finally able to kill her father and together with Dante seal the Hell Gate he opened for good. Afterwards, she continues her work as a demon hunter, and eventually hires Dante to investigate the Order of the Sword in 4.
Being a normal human who lacks demonic powers or brute strength, Lady employs gun fu and a hyperspace arsenal of weapons in battle instead, including a pistol & a submachine gun, throwing knives, grenades, and her custom rocket launcher "Kalina Ann". Lady has limited fighting ability due to being a normal human, but can still keep up due to her guns putting out a surprising amount of damage. Her DT is also a powerful, room-clearing shower of grenades rather than a transformation. While this does a huge amount of damage, it also means she can't heal, which incentives she stay at a distance and pelt away at her foes from safety.

== Trivia ==
* In the Polish version of Devil May Cry 4, Lady erroneously does not respond to her nickname, and is referred to just as a woman.
* Lady has the name "Esmeralda" engraved in both sides of her motorcycle. This is probably a reference to Cobra's beloved companion "Lady", whose her original name was Esmeralda. Just like Dante, it was Cobra who gave his companion the name of Lady.
* According to character designer, Daigo Ikeno, Lady's school girl outfit was also inspired by 'the black-haired Julia Volkova' of the duo t.A.T.u.
* The development team at one point wanted to make a game about Lady after Devil May Cry 3, but this never got off the ground.
* Lady is the second human boss in the game series, with the first being Arius in Devil May Cry 2.
* According to The Art of Devil May Cry 5, Lady used to be one of Nico's "best repeat customers" when she ran a weapons shop in Fortuna.
