Trish (Devil May Cry)

Trish is a character in Devil May Cry, an action-adventure hack and slash video game series by Japanese developer and publisher Capcom. She debuted in the first installment of the series, released in 2001. A demon taking a female human form, the mother of Dante, Eva, Trish seeks the aid of protagonist Dante in eliminating her creator, Mundus. Besides being a supporting character in subsequent games, she also appears in the other titles created by Capcom.

Hideki Kamiya, with the support of the other designers at Capcom, created Trish. Her long hair caused difficulties for 3D and motion graphic designers; this aspect of her character was revised on multiple occasions: in Devil May Cry 4 (2008), Trish adopted the alter-ego Gloria, which also proved difficult to design. Developers designed Gloria as a sexually-explicit character to appeal to the franchise's casual fan-base, though they sought to avoid any vulgarity. Various voice actors have voiced the character throughout the series, including Sarah Lafleur, Luci Christian and Atsuko Tanaka.

Critical reception of Trish has been mostly positive. Reviewers have praised her role in the story, her design, and her relationship with the cast explored in the franchise. Despite the criticism of her movesets in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition (2015), her inclusion in that game and in the fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds / Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (2011) as a playable character have received positive responses.
