Trish
'Devil May Cry' character
Trish as seen in her original appearance
First gameDevil May Cry (2001)
Created byHideki Kamiya

Trish (Japanese: トリッシュ, Hepburn: Torisshu) is a fictional character from the Devil May Cry series created by Capcom, first introduced in the 2001 first game. She appears as a demon taking the form of a female human who seeks the help of demon hunter Dante to eliminate Mundus. Despite being actually an assistant from Mundus, Trish reforms in the story and becomes a supporting characters in the next games. Additonally, she has appeared in Viewtiful Joe and the fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds.

Trish was created by Hideki Kamiya and the rest of a group of the Capcom staff as a heroine who would show sex appeal and action. The former brought the team difficulties due to her long hair, which was later revised. Her altergo from Devil May Cry 4, Gloria, was noted due to be difficult to design due to her excessive sex appeal. Multiple voice actresses have voiced Trish across all her appearances.

Critical reception to Trish has been mostly positive with reviewers praising her role in the story, design and relationship with Dante. Her inclusion in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and inclusion as a playable character in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition was also the subject positive response though the latter game was noted to have made Trish less appealing than other members from the cast.

Creation and design

Trish was created to be heroine of Devil May Cry showing both sexual appeal as well as action sequences. The designer had problems making her 3D model due to her long hair, most notably in the ending of the game when she was shown on an airplane to the point of asking her to cut it in a joke. Motion designer Tomoya Othsubo further explained difficulties with making Trish's haircut as it was challenging as they had to multiple joints into her strands of hair, labeling as a "nightmare".[1] Sawaki Takeyasu was the main responsible artist for her appearance, stating it was the first human-like character he made.[2] Trish was named after Beatrice Portinari from the Divine Comedy.[3] When asked about the relationship between Dante and Trish, Kamiya stated their bond was superior to love.[4]

For the sequel Devil May Cry 2, character designer Daigo Ikeno stated the team aimed for a contrast between Trish and new heroine Lucia, making both look from different races.[5] Hiroyuki Nara was responsible for including Trish in this game as an unlockable character. He used elements from Dante's original Devil May Cry features to give her gameplay while also apologizing to the team behind the first game. Nara noted that multiple designers helped him in the making of Trish's appearance, such as the flame effects for her moves. As Nara noted Devil May Cry 2 suffered negative response by fans and critics, he wanted to redeem himself with the next game, Devil May Cry 3, where he used elements from Trish into Dante's new model.[6] While Trish possesses the power of Devil Trigger, it does not change her shape. Hideki Kamiya suggested that the Devil Trigger form seen in Devil May Cry 2 may not be her true Devil form.[7]

After being absent from Devil May Cry 3, Trish returned as a supporting character in Devil May Cry 4. Writer Bingo Morihashi said he had no clear understanding of both Trish and Dante since these two characters were created by Kamiya. Nevertheless, Morihashi included her in the story as a form of fanservice. Furthermore, the writer stated if the story had been focused more on Dante rather than the new protagonist Nero, he might have feature her more.[8] Character designer Tatsuya Yoshikawa received notes from director Hideaki Itsuno to make her "cute". Yoshikawa did not find difficulties in designing her. A fellow designer said Trish had become "the series' sexiest gal" on how the team cherished here. In contrast to her original version, Trish had her hair tied back which made her model easier to animate. Another artist felt that Trish's zipper on her top was one of the key's design point.[9] Producer Hiroyuki Bobayashi stated that Gloria was meant to be a new sexually appealing who replaces previous heroines from the franchise.[10] Capcom were afraid "not to make her sexuality vulgar in any way" while noticing her design was popular within the fanbase.[11] For the Special Edition Itsuno said Capcom wanted to make Trish unique in terms of gameplay.[12]

In English, Trish is voiced by Sarah Lafleur in Devil May Cry, and Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble, Danielle Burgio in Devil May Cry 4 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Luci Christian in The Animated Series. In Japanese, she is voiced by Atsuko Tanaka in The Animated Series, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition. Tanaka has said she liked relationship between Trish, Lady and Dante.[13]

Appearances

In Devil May Cry

Trish is introduced in Devil May Cry, where she hires Dante to help stop Mundus' plan to conquer the human world by opening a gate to the demon world on Mallet Island.[14] Later in the game, Dante learns that she is actually Mundus' servant and her resemblance to their "mother" is part of a plan to lure Dante to the island so Mundus' servants can kill him.[15][16] However, despite Trish showing her true agenda, Dante spares her life. Deeming her unworthy to work her, Mundus cruxifies Trish to torment Dante who regrets not saving her from Mundus. In Dante's last fight against Mundus, Trish reappears alive and gives him her power to finish the enemy. The two then become partners.[17]

Trish appears in the Devil May Cry volume 2 novel as an alternate, self-serving Mundus. The original Dante tries to persuade her to ally with the other demons fighting against the Lord of Darkness, but he ends up having to kill her.[18] She is a playable character in a bonus section of Devil May Cry 2, separate from the game's plot.[6]

In anime The Animated Series Trish works alone, occasionally with Dante (who has given her an open invitation to return). She first appears, accidentally fighting demon hunter Lady but the two become friends.[19] Both help Dante stop the new demon invasion in the finale of the anime.[20]

Trish reappears in Devil May Cry 4, again working with Dante. She disguises herself as Gloria, an executive with the Holy Knights of the Order of Sparda, a religious organization which worships Sparda. After the Order's leader, Sanctus, obtains the power to summon demons from another dimension, Trish goes to protect Fortuna's citizens while Dante goes to get rid of the enemy.[21] In the epilogue, the two receive no payment from Lady who states she made the situation worse.[22] In the updated version of the game, Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, Trish was made once again a playable character.[23]

Other appearances

Trish is also present the PlayStation 2 version of Viewtiful Joe alongside Dante hitting on him until an enemy captures her.[24] In the PlayStation Portable game Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble, Trish appears as an alternative skin for the character of Sexy Silvia. She is also present in the crossover fighting games Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.[25] Her Gloria outfit also appears in the fighting game Street Fighter V as an alternative one for Laura.[26]

Reception

Critical reception to Trish has been positive. Complex found her "charming" and liked her abilities to the point of awaiting her debut in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 pleasingly.[27] Trish's alterego Gloria was found to be one of most sexually appealing characters in gaming due to her skimpy design.[28] Despite enjoying Trish's redesign and Gloria in Devil May Cry 4, GamesTM was disappointed by her lack of appearances in the sequel and expected to see her playable in an update.[29] Dante and Trish were included on The Inquirer's list of most memorable video-game love teams, with comments focusing on how they join forces to defeat their enemies.[30] Despite finding the initial relationship between Dante and Trish weird due to the latter being physically similar to the former's mother, Cheat Code Central liked the development these two characters got in the first Devil May Cry game and expected to see more likable relationships in the future of the franchise.[31] Trish was added to Marvel vs. Capcom 3 with Capcom's intention of having a "sexy character" according to producer Ryota Niitsuma. Siliconera found her techniques as "unique" citing the way she adds traps to the arena and the impact it can have on the enemy.[25]

Trish's inclusion in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition was met with positive response. PCMag noted that her moves seemed to be inspired by her Devil May Cry 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 3 citing her as "a very accessible character" and at the same time difficult to master.[32] Game Informer enjoyed how Trish can change weapons within fights and that while she might found as simple to control, mastering all her abilities might be challenging to the point of being overshadowed by Vergil.[33] IGN liked her moves due to the balance she makes with Lady's techniques.[23] Game Revolution liked the Marvel vs. Capcom 3-inspired moves which felt appealing to the reviewer.[34] On a more negative opinion, GameSpot still felt Trish might come across as less entertaining than Lady and Vergil.[35]

Trish has also been explored in the anime series. Voice actress Fumiko Orikasa noted that the fight between Lady and Trish was appealing.[36] Hyper had mixed thoughts regarding the episode where Lady meets Trish through a fight but compared the style of the two female characters to the film The Matrix due to how stylish it they both are.[37] Anime News Network lamented the fact Trish makes brief appearances in the anime but still found her English voice acting charming.[38] Doubt Report found Lady and Trish as foils to Dante and compared them to the main characters from the manga and anime series GetBackers due to the financial issues Dante has despite often receiving jobs from Lady.[39] Fandom Post appreciated an episode where Lady is fighting Trish in a misunderstanding but both end up befriending. The writer also enjoyed the duo's role in following episodes, most notably in finale.[40] DVD Talk liked the interactions between Dante, Lady and Trish; the reviewer expected more of them in the anime, rather than stories focused on Dante facing enemies.[41]
