Information on Mary, AKA Lady in Divine Comedy comes from all the Religious texts of the Veneration of Mary: In Christianity and Islam, Mary (-Aramaic  Mary "Bitter"; Septuagint Greek , Mariam, Maria; Arabic: Maryem, is the mother of Jesus and the betrothed of Joseph. The Christian theology concerning her is Mariology Roman Catholic, Orthodox and many Anglican Christians venerate Mary, as do the non-Chalcedonian or monophysite Orthodox (such as the Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt and the Ethiopian Tewahedo Church). This veneration especially takes the form of prayer for intercession with her Son, Jesus Christ. Additionally it includes composing poems and songs in Mary's honor, painting icons or carving statues representing her, bowing or kneeling before such images as a token of respect to the one portrayed by them, and conferring titles on Mary that reflect her exalted position among the saints. She is also one of the most highly venerated saints in both the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox Church; several major feast days are devoted to her each year. (See Liturgical year.) Protestants have generally been less enthusiastic about the veneration of the Virgin than their Catholic and Orthodox cousins, often arguing that if too much attention is focused on Mary, there is a danger of detracting from the worship due to God alone.

MY OWN NOTES:

I've played all 3 games, and this site was done back in spring 2005. It's probably old news now, but I need to update this site better much later.

There aren't any updated information on Mary AKA Lady in DMC3, but that she is the starter point for Dante's quest in his business; to hunt down demons as he promised her. At the end of DMC3, she leaves and does not show up in DMC1 or 2, indicating that she must have passed on or is still out demon hunting around the world. In the end of 1 and 2, Trish remains with Dante as his side-kick partner. Many fans believe that they are a couple, plus to indicate Dante's "idealistic" love for Beatrice in the Divine Comedy series.

There is just one thing that bothers me in this pairing, is that Trish exactly looks like Dante and Vergil's mother, Eva. This could indicate the Oedipus Complex, as the Greek mythology goes that the main protagonist goes and marries his "own" mother, without realizing it and thus their "tragedy," Some fans think its cool, while others thinks it is creepy. In short, it doesn't matter.

I like the picture of Mary/Lady on this page, so I placed it up. When they have better pictures of Trish in DMC4, I'll have her here as well. Perhaps even Lucia too. I just dont like the old pictures of Trish in dmc1.:(

I wish they would give her a better look and I'm crossing my fingers that they do!

INFORMATION ON DANTE SPARDA

 

Dante Sparda, demon hunter, owned by (c)Capcom. Dante Sparda (this might not be his complete name, since no official confirmation exists) is the main protagonist of the video game franchise Devil May Cry. He is the fictional offspring of a human mother and demon father. It is common in science fiction literature for half-breeds (creatures only half-human) to have special abilities, and Dante is no exception. Dante has epic powers and heroic stamina due to his father's blood, but is humane and compassionate, unlike many demons. Of course his appearance is attributed to his human side as well. Dante's past is extremely shrouded, as the games do not spend a great deal of time explaining it (Devil May Cry 3 will provide more insight into his story, however, as it is a prequel to Devil May Cry). What little information that can be gleaned from cut-scenes is enough to piece together a fragmented history. From what is known, Dante's family history is quite reminiscent of another white-haired half-breed, the character InuYasha from InuYasha. His father, Sparda, was an extremely powerful demon who felt compassion for humans. He turned on his brethren and fought for humans during a war that occurred two millennia before the events of DMC1. Sometime during or shortly after this war he falls in love and mates with Eva, a human female (a picture of her suggests she is a noble from her style of dress). Eva gives birth to twins, Dante and Vergil. Apparently, Sparda dies sometime shortly after their birth, and Dante and Vergil split at one point (though they meet again in DMC3, most likely as enemies). Eva is murdered at some point, mostly likely in Dante's and Vergil's late childhood, by demons. This in turn spurs Dante to hunt down demons.   Philosophy and Speculation One may notice that Dante and Vergil share their names with Dante Alighieri and Publius Vergilius Maro, poets of epic works. In Dante Alighieri's work The Divine Comedy, Dante (the author) is guided through hell by Virgil (the roman poet), and heaven by Beatrice Portinari, Dante's idealistic vision of the perfect woman. Dante and Vergil share a likeness to the characters in the poem; Vergil as Nelo Angelo continuously confronts Dante as Dante delves further into Mundus' castle (Hell), egging him on and drawing him closer to Mundus himself. Trish could be seen as a parallel to Beatrice, his saviour that helps him finally defeat Mundus and escape the castle. Mundus is of course Satan, trapped at the center of his castle, and some of the enemies and areas in the game could be seen as metaphors for the concentric circles of hell and their populaces described in Alighieri's work. by Information from:
