Lady, another local demon hunter; also armed to the teeth.

Lady or Mary Arkham is one of many characters coming from Devil May Cry, made famous by Capcom. She's set pre-game, very idealistic, a prude, and a shrewed girl that wants nothing more than to reach her goals. Like her canon counterpart, she's also sworn to avenge her mother and destroy all demons. But unlike her canon counterpart, she's slowly reckonizing Arkham as her father again. She can be considered an incarnation of a previous Lady from a seperate game. The only difference is here, this Lady is the nicer of the group.

Basics

Name: Unknown (Mary Arkham)
Nicknames: Lady
Age: 18
Zodiac: Sagittarius
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 118 lbs.
Hair: Black
Eyes: green/blue, red/brown (Heterochromic)
Family: Arkham (father), Kalina Ann (mother, deceased)
Style: Lady is a straight up tomboy. Clothing is about being comfortable, not style. Either seen in worn t-shirts and her favorite pair of worn out Doc Martins knee high boots. Lady does not care for her scars not bothering to cover them up, and choses to ignore them. Her hair is the only thing she gives most attention to, flaring it out at the ends. She'll be damned to be caught in something other than her masculine attire, as since long given up on making herself appear more appealing -- only in rare situations.
Notable Features: How about two different colored eyes, for starters? Other than that, Lady has many faded scars, such as the one on the middle of her nose.
Music Tastes: Lady's music varies all over -- old punk, gothic, metal, and classic rock. She's not entirely picky, unless it's superfical or metalcore. It really depends on Lady's mood.
Weapons of Choice: Her dear old Kalina Ann, a rocket launcher/cannon that she is best known for. She's fond of guns and anything that has extra kick with explosives.

Personality

Generally regarded as a 'bitch' or difficult to get along with, Lady isn't one who makes the best first impressions on others. Temperamental and quiet, Lady is very weary of others, and is one who rarely puts her trust in anyone. Relying on first judgement, maybe even a little paranoid of other's motives at times. Very judgmental – Lady will underestimate a lot of people, due to her distant nature and fear of being hurt once again. Anything else, such as social interactions or even having relations to other people, Lady firmly believes it's a distraction to her work and her duty – whatever it is, Lady never says. There's a deep anger that stems from Lady's grief and pain, something that undoubtedly clouds her best judgment.

Despite having a temper and being heavily guarded to herself, Lady does have a crucial sympathetic side, leaning out of her belief of loyalty. The two sides to Lady's personality is a way to protect herself from others. Lady does not trust anyone, unless they share common ground with her. Lady is far from perfect, even carrying an ego sometimes, as a way to keep herself on equal ground or elevate herself when needed. Whenever prodded or coaxed out of this wall she's put up, Lady can show she has more layers to her, besides her anger. Possessive and protective of virtually anything Lady holds dear to her – unfortunately, that would be the last bit of security she has, her comfort zone.

If there's one thing Lady rarely shows, it just might be her "Mary" side, her former self that Lady works against, believing this side to be weaker. Showing too much of a soft side, in Lady's opinion, will leave others to walk all over her. However, while Lady is cautious, often weary of others, she can be very naive, innocent in some of her hidden nature, which can always lead to deception for her, no matter how much she fears others praying upon her. It's her idealistic nature and conflicting odds that welcome her to struggles. While it may be so, she's nothing more than a girl who wants to honor her mother's memory. Lady is loyal...to a handful of people and those are who Lady will guard.

Background

There isn't much known about Lady and she likes to keep it that way. What she doesn't talk about is once living with her parents, Kalina Ann and Arkham, who were the closest people in her life. Her father was, after all, a gifted professor with a loving and coddling wife. Lady once was 'daddy's little girl', as well her mother's daughter, believing there could be no wrong committed by her parents. Her parents were perfection in her eyes. This made it all the more painful when Arkham turned, maybe even snapped one evening, and killed his wife right in front his daughter's eyes. Lady was still fairly young when this happened, never fully understanding it and much of it is still a traumatizing blur to her.
The details of her mother's purpose for dying are still unknown even Lady herself; as a result, she's always been determined to figure out why and act revenge on the death of her mother. How Lady managed to escape that mess is unknown, and is more than likely a repressed memory on her part. Lady hardly speaks of her past beyond her mother's death, suggesting she might have been an orphan on her own for quite a while. All other known ties to her past, Lady has sought hard to erase, down to her birth name. Literally coming out of nowhere, Lady is seeking someways to regain stability by enrolling in herself in Desai University. Though she is very vehement on tracking down her mother's killer, Lady is still running from him, still in grief by his betrayal. All Lady wants now is to succeed in her goals, obtain the best of knowledge to aid her. Anything else is just a road block to Lady.You can argue her persent goal with Arkham has changed, as she is slowly starting to re-evaluate her long and deep beliefs on her father.

Current

• Aside from the the bizarre, Lady's relationship with her father plays a large role. Since there is a part of her that wants to have at least one family member, Lady might as well be tip-toeing into a family tie. She's undecided on many things, but still cautiously questions Arkham from the side, out of fear and curioisty. Honestly believes his remarks about Sparda, for the sake of finding some way to avenge her mother.

• Lady appears to be growing a bit friendly with Siela Riviere, due to their last meeting, talking about Siela's rampant nightmares of dying. As a result, Lady knows that she is growing a bit fond of the girl, but is starting to show that protective and matronal nature much thanks to Greed offering to bail her out -- for some reason, she doesn't quite approve of that...

• In another recent event with Trish, she likes to think at least she has someone to slightly (just slightly) relate to with her novice career. However, Lady doesn't consider anyone a friend yet, sadly.

• Lastly, Lady is very critical of the twins, Vergil and Dante, in part of their behavior towards Arkham and their possible lineage, and has yet to comment openly about it. Also very critical of Sieg Warheit, in regards to his friend and just his attitude towards her.
