Then she takes a hit for Dante, comes back to life, and reforms.

Asshole Victim: And given her actions in the first game, there's not much sympathy to be had for her.

Dante's selflessness and Mundus' ruthlessness convinced her to side with Dante and she's been helping him hunt down demons ever since.

Ascended Demon: A demon Mundus created to lure Dante into a trap and kill him.

Artificial Human: Or Artificial Demon anyway.

In the fourth game, Trish also disguised herself as Gloria, yet she can still single-handedly wipe out a horde of Scarecrows with just a pair of daggers. Later installments helped this trait of hers shine even further, such as involving her in more fights, or making her playable (in 2 and 4:SE). It's an amazing feat that she is one of the few beings besides Mundus and Nelo Angelo who can do that in the first game.

Action Girl: She doesn't get a lot of action scenes in 1, but even in that game's intro cutscene, she is clearly capable of taking on or hurting Dante.

This is more evident with her lacy one-piece disguise as Gloria revealing her stomach and part of her chest in 4.

Absolute Cleavage: Her outfits leave a part of the cleavage area open.

The result is that while Trish doesn't do a whole lot of damage on her own, she fills the playable arena with tons of stuff for enemies to take damage from- and that damage certainly adds up. Her main advantage is that a lot of her moves set up area-of-effect attacks to continually damage enemies, and most of her martial arts moves leave lightning trails behind her as she attacks. Her ranged weapons are the twin handguns Luce and Ombra, and she later gains Pandora as well. Trish can toss Sparda out and leave it spinning in mid-air, upon which she results to simply beating her enemies to death with lightning-enhanced martial arts. Her moveset in 4SE has her use the Devil Sword Sparda. Trish now works as Dante's Hypercompetent Sidekick at his devil-hunting business Devil May Cry. However, after multiple failed attempts, Mundus decides to use her as bait for Dante instead, only for Trish to betray her master and together with Dante seal the demon lord away for good. It is eventually revealed in that game that Trish is actually a demon made by Mundus to kill Dante. A mysterious woman with lightning powers, Super Strength, and a striking resemblance to Dante's deceased mother who hired Dante to stop Mundus in the first Devil May Cry.
