Personality II:

Lady was just a normal teenage girl who grew up hearing the crazy myths her father told her about demons ... up until the moment her father sacrificed her mother for a demonic ritual, then making the demons in the stories very, very real. After losing everything, she decided she needed revenge, and so she went after her father and all the demons she could find. She desperately wants to kill him, feeling compelled to the point of obsession, swearing to kill every last one of them even if it kills her.

Under everything, and on the surface, too, Lady’s only goal in life is to destroy evil and protect good. She’s strong, tough, and she'll never complain about anything. She didn't complain when she was thrown off a building, she didn't complain when she was stabbed all the way through the leg, she didn't even complain about her maniac father or the fact she's the only human left in an entire city because demons popped out of the ground and killed everybody else. Instead, Lady packs up collectively the same amount of artillery carried by a tank and vowed to fix things.

She’s blunt, straightforward, and she doesn't think ahead. Sometimes she hardly seems to think at all. She knows she has that one goal -- avenge her mother -- and she'll march on towards that goal until she dies, but she doesn't put a lot of thought into how she’ll get there. She reacts. Her life puts her in certain situations and she reacts to them, and her reactions usually involve shooting things. Even when she obviously has no chance against her opponents, she will continue on. She has so much hatred for her father, and for demons, that she has no room left to care about herself very much at all. She doesn’t care about whether or not she’ll get herself killed -- getting herself killed is basically inevitable -- she can’t bring herself to stop fighing.

Until when she stops and thinks for a second about her chances, which is something she can’t do on her own. Dante -- who would become her best and only friend -- had to convince her that she could not handle the enemy, that she wouldn’t make a difference, and she would die. Though … not exactly with words, but with his fists, and in fact the only reason she listened to him was that he fought her and won. After her defeat, he promised he would fix things for her, despite the fact she already tried to kill him three different times. He proved he was really a good guy, and that she could really believe in him and trust him to carry out her mission.

After all that happened to her, it was hard to relate to most people, and yet she found a friend in Dante. A friend she’s a bitch, too, but still a friend, and the way she treats him is like a constant test. She treats him badly, though if he really minded then she wouldn’t do it -- but if he really minded he also wouldn’t be as good of a friend to her than he is. Not to say she couldn’t have a friend and not treat them badly, that’s just how she treats Dante. She’s not unkind, and she’ll try to be nice to people, but she just doesn’t know how to handle normal conversation very well -- and she doesn’t fit into the normal crowd anymore, carrying her giant bazooka on her back in town and in stores. When she was in high school she probably managed fine, but after what she’s seen and been through, there really isn’t much chance of living a normal life again.

With her father dead and her mother avenged, Lady will continue to kill demons, because there are still plenty out there. Her job isn’t finished, and it wont be finished until all demons are dead, or she is.
