“Mary died a long time ago. My name, is Lady.”

—Lady renouncing her name to a new one inspired by Dante, *Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening*

**Lady** is a human Devil Hunter who first appeared in *Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening* as both a supporting character and boss. She is the daughter of Arkham and sought to hunt him down, encountering Dante in the process. After the events of *Devil May Cry 3*, she joins Devil May Cry. She also appears as a playable character in *Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition*. While her preferred name, "Lady", was given to her by Dante, her birth name is **Mary**.

## Appearance

Lady has dark, chin-length hair on both sides of her face and she has a fringe that reaches her eyebrows. She has many scars across her body, the most prominent being the one across her nose. She also always has a necklace with a red gem on it. Like her father, she has the genetic condition called heterochromia, which render each of her eyes a different color: her left eye is red while her right eye is bluish-green.

Lady seems to be younger than Dante. When she is first seen in *Devil May Cry 3*, she wears a schoolgirl outfit with a short white blouse that bares her midriff and sleeves that reach just past her elbows. The skirt appears to be made of protective plating and she has a utility belt to hold gun magazines, with dark black/purple shorts underneath. Connected to the belt is a harness for Kalina Ann. She carries a pistol on the front of her skirt and a Skorpion submachine gun with a bayonet on the back, with a lever action bow gun of sorts strapped to her left thigh, and finally, a pistol strapped to her right boot. She wears dark brown gloves and orange-brown knee-high boots, with black socks under.

For her short appearance in the manga, she wore a standard schoolgirl outfit. She had a white blouse with a tie and a skirt with black thigh high socks and shoes. This is the only time where she doesn't have her necklace.

During the anime, Lady wears her *Devil May Cry 3* outfit but occasionally changes it. She also wore a red, full-body biker suit. She wore a green jacket and jean short shorts at one point. Very shortly she wore a purple jacket with white frills and purple pants. Her final outfit was a disguise as a blackjack dealer, wearing a vest, white button-up shirt and a miniskirt.

During the events in *Devil May Cry 4*, Lady has noticeably matured, growing a larger chest. Her hair is longer, but keeps the same general style, with the hair framing her face reaching her collarbone. Her outfit consists of a white jacket with what appears to be a harness underneath with no shirt revealing her ample cleavage and belly button. She also has white short shorts and red gloves. She has magazine pouches on either side of her hips and knee-high boots. She also wears sunglasses.

In *Devil May Cry 5*, Lady's hair is cut short in a ragged short bob style with a full fringe simliar to her *Devil May Cry 3* hairstyle; her scars mainly across her nose have been notably healed. Her main outfit is combination of both military and casual style; a off-white leather short jacket with a white long sleeved blouse which shows off her midriff and was accessorized with gray and black rider goggles and a black buckled belt which is connected to her jacket, black shorts with matching leg warmers which is connected to her shorts that resembles leggings. She retains her skirt and her weaponry in the third game and wears black boots. She also wears black fingerless gloves and black/gray nail polish.

When Nero manages to rescue her inside Artemis during its defeat by slashing through its body with his sword, Lady was completely naked and was covered in a light blue slime. They later cleaned her up inside Nico's vehicle where she was covered in a light brown cloth.

For a brief period after her rescue, Lady is lent one of Nico's spare white mechanic jumpsuits, which is a bit too large for Lady, leading to a somewhat baggy appearance. She wears the sleeves rolled up to just below her elbow, and the pantlegs just above the ankle. Lady also leaves the jumpsuit zipped up to just below her breasts before flipping it the rest of the way into a collar, leaving the only visible button unbuttoned. Despite wearing the outfit in such a revealing fashion, Lady's cleavage is barely emphasized due to lack of support beneath the loose-fitting jumpsuit.  Lady is also given a pair of black work shoes.

She was later seen wearing a loose button shirt to cover herself then wearing her main outfit throughout the game.

## Personality

Lady is very fierce, rough, and tough enough to keep up with Dante. She is described as a "psychotic devil-hunting female". Although, when she kills her father, Lady breaks down and cries, showing a more sentimental side. Her quote, "It's true. You'd never recover from that", may imply that Lady shows some regret in killing her father.

She originally hated all demons, even half-demons, and wanted to exterminate all of them. Her greatest weapon at the time was her belief that what she was doing was right. This caused her to develop a moral bigotry against demons, believing them to be remorseless monsters unable to understand things like love or family. This may have been the reason why she did not initially believe in the legend of Sparda, she may not have been able to accept the fact that a demon is responsible for both the world's and humanity's continued existence.

However, over time and through her experiences with Dante, she learns that Sparda did exist, and that humans and demons are equals in their capacity for both righteousness and depravity.

## Powers

While still a normal human, she is an exceptionally skilled firearms expert and extremely acrobatic in close quarters combat.. A remarkably talented Devil Hunter, she's able to easily kill most demons with her conventional human arsenal. In the animated series, Lady was shown to have some skill in hand-to-hand combat, able to disarm Trish and go toe-to-toe with her in a physical fight for a short time despite the latter's superior physical abilities as a demon. During episode 9 of the animated series, she can outshoot Dante and avoid his heart perfectly, destroying the magical watch Dante keeps in his pocket in the process when he is under its influence that prompts the user to enter "Showdown" mode -- either shoot the opponent or be shot in a poker match.

***Peak Human Condition:*** Lady is capable of performing physical feats above any other human in the series.

* ***Peak Human Strength:*** Despite her slim build , Lady is capable of handling a rocket launcher while performing high level acrobatics. She can swing it around in combat as well as hold a one-handed handstand while carrying Kalina Ann. She can also handle Rebellion without showing much strain and even can throw it several hundred feet. She is also able to shove Kalina Ann's bayonet in the solid stone wall of Temi-Ni-Gru.
* ***Peak human Speed and reflexes:*** Lady is fast enough to dodge attacks from most lesser demons and even Round Trip from Sparda. She is also able to shoot lightning enhanced bullets out of the air.
* ***Peak Human Agility:*** Lady is able to jump to great heights and has incredible coordination, enough to dodge and evade enemy attacks in mid-air, all while Kalina Ann is on her back.
* ***Peak Human Endurance:*** Despite fighting for hours and being stabbed through the leg with Kalina Ann, Lady still had the strength to scale the side of Temi-Ni-Gru before needing to rest, and even then, was able to put up a decent fight with Dante, although he was not fighting with intent to kill.

### Abilities

***Master Marksmanship:*** Lady can use a variety of firearms and long range weapons with incredible accuracy and versatility. She can shoot in multiple directions to hit multiple targets with different weapons and still hit her targets without problems. Her accuracy also leads her to be an avid billiards player. She is shown several times playing it, the first time being in the second volume of manga and the second time in the anime. She is a capable player, able to strategically make a complicated strike to win a bet.

***Hand-to-Hand Combat:*** Lady was capable of disarming Trish and holding her own against her in hand-to-hand combat, despite being physically weaker.

***Master Acrobatics:*** Lady is able to swing from and perform multiple flips across uneven bars and balance herself on one hand while carrying Kalina Ann. She was able to catch herself between two bars with just her legs. While carrying Kalina Ann, she is able to balance herself on her motorcycle while shooting both of her pistols, jump off of it while it remains on its course, and land back on top of it while moving at high speeds.
