Background

Lady, born Mary Ann Arkham, is a supporting protagonist of the Devil May Cry series. The daughter of a demon-obsessed scholar named Arkham, Lady set out on a vengeful quest for revenge against him after he killed her mother, Kalina Ann. She always carries around a large rocket launcher named after her mother, and uses it to vanquish any demon standing in the way of her revenge.

During her hunt for revenge, Mary met Dante, who gave her the nickname "Lady" that would soon become her new identity. Although the two started out enemies, she soon saw past his demonic heritage and became one of his good friends. After fulfilling her mission of killing Arkham, Lady became Dante's partner as a Devil Hunter-for-hire.

Alignment: Chaotic Good (Lady is a good person, but her goals are entirely selfish. She fights demons and seeks to prevent the fusing of the Human and Demon Realms, though she is mainly doing this because of her hatred for Arkham.

Attack Potency: High Mass Star level (Comparable to her durability. Could contend with and harm Dante; Dante shortly after contended with and eventually defeated Arkham. Lady's weapons were also specifically given to Dante to defeat Arkham. Arkham held the Force Edge but could not wield Sparda's complete power due to his inhumane heart, which is exactly the same situation with Sanctus, making them comparable. Dante defeated Vergil, whose younger self has been depicted to be able to face Sanctus.

Equipment

• Handguns: A set of dual handguns designed for rapid-fire action, which Lady carries around at all times. These are Lady's standard weapons which she has holstered on her hip.

• 

  Handguns

• Grenades: A set of standard grenades, which Lady can freely toss at enemies to create a massive explosion.

• 

  Grenades

• Kalina Ann: A rocket launcher with Lady's mother's name etched into the handle. The Kalina Ann can only be fired while Lady stands on the ground. The recoil of this weapon is harsh, requiring a moment after each volley for Dante to recover. Therefore, this weapon renders Lady slightly vulnerable to attack. However, the missiles it fires explode on contact with targets of walls, damaging all enemies within the blast radius. The Kalina Ann can also fire a salvo of homing rockets, which target and go after one or more enemies and create a chain of explosions. An amazingly powerful weapon.

• Kalina Ann II: Nico made this replacement for the lost Kalina Ann. Identical to the original weapon, with a special something hidden within. This was made and paid for by Lady, though Dante was given it as a rental.

Other

Weaknesses: Lady is extremely brash and can let her emotions get in the way of her judgement. She is easily fooled into believing things that deep-down she wants to believe, such as when Arkham told her that he was under Vergil's possession. She holds family extremely dear to her, going on a vengeful hunt for revenge after the death of her mother, and ragefully lashing out at both Dante and Vergil after the supposed death of her father.
