Fem Dante

Info

Dante is the main protagonist of the Devil May Cry franchise. She is the younger twin sister of Vergil and a daughter of the Dark Knight Sparda and the human Eva. She is also the aunt of Nero. A hybrid between a human and a demon (also known as a Cambion), Dante primarily works as a paranormal investigator and mercenary that hunts down devils and purge the world from evil, seeking vengeance to avenge her late mother, as well as save her brother from their demonic influence.

Personality

As seen in the beginning of the series, Dante is incredibly flippant, casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of demons, and she generally enjoys showing off and taunting her adversaries as often as she can. Dante also displays a fearless, almost disinterested attitude towards incredibly dangerous situations, such as assuming Trish simply had to use the bathroom after crashing through her office’s front door on a motorcycle, being attacked by the Seven Hells in her office, being swallowed by Echidna, and effortlessly shrugging off wounds such as a head shot or impalement numerous times, the latter of which happens quite frequently for the Devil Hunter. While maturing as time goes by, Dante never loses her care-free, devil-may-care attitude, except in Devil May Cry 2. She can be serious when the situation calls for it, but still maintains an overall laid-back demeanor during tense situations, and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. Although seemingly shown at times to be uncaring or callous, Dante maintains a very strong sense of justice like her father, and prefers to fight fairly, never fighting humans or opponents weaker than her. She can be counted on to do the right thing, even if she makes humorously cynical quips about it the entire time. Unusually, while she has displayed discomfort with her own demonic side, only coming to accept it following the events of Devil May Cry 3, Dante has little qualms about accepting demons that choose the side of good and admires their desire to be human, such as Trish and Bradley.

Appearance

Dante wears long, tan-colored jeans, black fingerless gloves, and military-style boots. Her coat has zippers on the sleeves and a buckle around the waist, and two brown, leather holsters on the back to carry Ebony & Ivory. Contrary to later games, Dante does not wear any form of clothing underneath her coat, going shirtless throughout the whole game, displaying her silver half of the Perfect Amulet around her neck, as well as her bare, well-toned breasts and muscular physique. Following Dante’s first battle with Vergil, her half of the amulet is stolen and the right sleeve of her coat is damaged, with Dante tearing it off afterward. In her final confrontation with Vergil, her left glove is slashed across the palm by Yamato, and the epilogue shows that Dante keeps it on her desk, perhaps in remembrance of her lost brother.

Skills

Superhuman Strength: Dante possesses incredible raw bodily strength even while in human form. She is able to easily throw around street thugs and an obese prison warden. She is also able to easily snap handcuffs. She can shatter stone with little difficulty, and often overpowers demons much larger and more imposing than herself with ease. Dante also once easily blocked a punch from Nero’s Devil Bringer and even casually forced him back with enough force to destroy a wall behind her and knocked down Nero with a single push to the back. She’s even strong enough to block The Savior’s punch with Rebellion without showing much strain. Dante’s display of superhuman strength, endurance, and resistance to injury shows that her physical condition is much tougher and more efficient than that of even most of the powerful demons, allowing her to exert her supernaturally enhanced muscle power to vast proportions without fear of injury or fatigue. Superhuman Speed: Dante is superhumanly fast, and in some cases appears to be teleporting. During her younger years, was capable of swinging her sword so fast that rain drops cannot escape her blade over a wide area. Also while Dante was running down the side of Temi-Ni-Gru, she shot Rebellion, causing it to fall so quickly it began superheating the air around it, then she chased her sword fast enough to catch up to it and eventually reaching a speed great enough that the air around her hand became superheated as well. Dante’s reflexes are fast enough that she can dodge bullets, slice them, shoot them out of the air, and even catch them with her teeth. Superhuman Agility: Dante is extremely agile as well; able to jump to great heights or even balance herself on a flying rocket, as well as run up vertical walls. In addition, her agility allows her to perform amazing feats of acrobatics that easily surpass even the finest human acrobat. Superhuman Stamina.
