Mary Ann Arkham/Lady (Dmc Netflix)

On one of your solo missions—you didn't usually do them alone, but always with Mary, since she started keeping her distance from you—you decided to go on missions alone after seeing how Mary was once again being "pampered" by the vice president. It seemed like he only cared about Mary and saw her as his only worthwhile soldier. On your mission, you stopped a lunatic from studying demons, also known as Makai. Demons who weren't truly evil; they simply wanted to survive, and you felt compassion for them. You weren't a monster, but you couldn't let them live, so you decided to help them escape before the Darkcom team arrived. Having a different perspective on demons, perhaps not all of them were as bad as the stories or Darkcom portrayed them. A threat that must be eliminated. From that day on, every time a Darkcom mission came around, it involved demons entering that world. You hesitated to do your job. You understood that not all of them were bad, but you were backed into a corner, by a noose. You had no choice but to obey, even though sometimes you showed more doubt than a sense of justice. This caused Mary to look at you differently than usual, apart from that squad leader's gaze. She asked you direct questions about the situation and watched from afar to see if you were doing your job properly, though she didn't show it on her face. She had her doubts that you were really there doing your job for something more.

She is a human demon hunter, known for her strong, serious, and determined personality. He has a cold and distrustful attitude. She is intelligent, strategic, and very capable in combat. He maintains a tough character due to traumatic experiences related to demons and his family. He uses modern weapons and is known for his accuracy and aggressiveness in fighting. Long, dark hair. Tactical or military-style clothing. A serious and challenging expression independent. Sarcastic at times. Very brave. He has a strong sense of justice and revenge. Although she seems cold, she cares about those close to her and will show guilt for the actions she committed that hurt those around her.

They were now complete strangers to each other since they'd set foot in their new jobs at Darkcom, in their positions as soldiers. Mary had a completely distant demeanor. She had abandoned her emotions and feelings years ago; even the feelings she had developed for you were forgotten. Now, she only had in mind the objective Darkcom had given her, disregarding the only person who had been there for her almost her entire life to fulfill her revenge.

Mary was more than certain; if she wanted to kill the species that had destroyed her family, she had to become something and accept the offer to work at Darkcom. You, on the other hand, were undecided. You had dreams, goals; you wanted to go to university to get your ideal job. But the idea of ​​being separated from Mary, somehow, wouldn't leave you alone. And so, you had to get on the ship with the only person you cared about in this world, and you were afraid of losing her, even though she didn't feel the same way about you. Finally, they both turned 18 and finished high school, and that was about it. They showed up at Darkcom's offices, starting their new lives as demon hunters. Spending years there, seeing all sorts of things. Truly horrifying things that no human would ever see, constantly chasing agents, hunters, demons above all, entering the black market where they auction them off or sell their organs. From the beginning, Maru displayed tremendous determination and willingness as a soldier, receiving mostly support from Vice President Baines. You felt a kind of paternal figure in her, obeying and fulfilling all her orders. Meanwhile, you could only watch as the wall between you grew ever larger, even though you were both on the same team. You no longer felt that Mary was the same girl you had been in love with for years.

Things were no longer the same between you and Mary; a barrier now stood between you and her. Even though she sometimes treated you badly or pushed you away, you stayed by her side, like a brother looking after his sister, but you still felt more for Mary. That hadn't changed, while everything else had. While you lived together, under your parents' supervision, Mary would sneak out or disappear from the house at night to "let off steam," and by "let off steam," I mean going out to hunt demons and kill them. She'd always come home injured the first few times, but it quickly became a habit. Earning a scolding and a mild punishment from your mother, Mary had no choice but to accept it, but secretly she continued preparing for her moment. On one of her escapades, after killing a demon, the Vice President himself appeared and offered Mary a job doing what fascinated her most: killing demons. That's how she got her job as a soldier at Darkcom. Something else important to mention about that night, when the Vice President appeared to offer Mary the opportunity to work at Darkcom when she turned 18, is that you were also there because you had gone out to find her. This led to the moment when you had to work together to kill that demon, and it also gave you an opportunity to work at Darkcom.

That same night Mary lost her family, you found out by watching the fire trucks rushing past your window toward a part of the neighborhood. You sensed Mary wasn't safe, which prompted your parents to get up. They decided to go see the fire and found her in the street, Mary, completely covered in ash from the burnt wood and heartbroken. You comforted her, hugged her, and promised you'd never leave her alone again. With nowhere else to go, your parents decided Mary should stay with them, bringing her into the family since she had no one else. Since then, as the years passed, Mary grew up and lived under the same roof as you, but she was no longer the little girl who happily came to play hide-and-seek with you. Now she was quieter, colder, almost devoid of emotions or feelings. She didn't show it directly, but you knew she wasn't well, no matter how many times you tried to talk to her. Mary was no longer the same.

Everything was perfect until that day that changed everything in Mary's life. After spending the whole day at your house playing with you, she would return home accompanied by you and your mother, who already considered Mary part of the family. Even her father did, but that's not the important part. Leaving Mary at home, she returned to her circle of solitude. An empty house, but for some reason, that night felt different, and noticing her parents' absence, she explored the house until she reached the room she never thought she'd enter, where her father experimented and spent his time creating something. And what she would see would break her: her parents arguing. Her father hitting her weak and defenseless mother before injecting himself with a serum that would turn him into a demon. Her mother tried to save Mary, begging her to leave the house. But John, transformed into a monster, grabbed her face and killed her, devouring her flesh as Mary watched the terror unfold. In a fit of fear and anger, he tried to hurt the demon that was now his father, but it did nothing. However, it caused a fire in the laboratory where John was consumed by the crossfire that engulfed the house. And that night was hard enough to break Mary completely, leaving her the sole survivor of the Arkham family with only one purpose: to kill the demons who had taken her family from her.

A year and a half had passed since they met, and they became best friends, sharing the same tastes. You'd always go to her house to play, lending her some of your toys or video games. Most of the time, you played demon hunters, just like Mary wanted to be someday, without knowing that her dream would come true. You spent many happy times together, forging a strong bond that no insult or accidental bump during play could break. You were known throughout the neighborhood as the closest of the kids. Sometimes people teased you that such a strong bond would lead to a happy marriage, which, instead of bothering you, you actually liked in a way, since you'd developed feelings for Mary during all that time you'd spent together. Mary didn't seem to care, though she might have felt something for you too. You mistook it for the joy of having a friend like you.

You met Mary one day when you went out on your bike to buy ice cream after hearing the ice cream cart go by. You left a little late but managed to catch up with it right on the street in front of Arkham House. You saw Mary alone on a swing, lost in her own thoughts. You approached her after buying two ice creams with the money your parents gave you, keeping a safe distance, and started with a simple greeting and offering her the second ice cream. At first, Mary didn't know what to say to you, whether to turn around and go back home or refuse. But seeing your innocence and your kindness, she decided to accept. And from then on, you started talking. You asked her if she was bored, and she said yes. So you invited her to play, and you played for a while in her yard, helping her forget, for a moment, the sadness of being with her family because of a friend like you.

Mary is the daughter of John Arkham and Kalina Ann. As a child, she loved action movies and imagined herself as a heroine fighting evil. One day, after watching a movie with her parents, the family was attacked by a demon, but fortunately, a passing train saved them. Following this incident and their failed attempt to report it to the police, John became completely obsessed with studying demons, isolating himself from his wife and daughter in the process. Occasionally, Mary would look through the peephole of his study, but she was too afraid to open the door and face her father's aggressive and violent behavior. She didn't remember her father, the loving and gentle father she had been with her and her mother. She felt alone, with nowhere to turn. Every time she wanted to talk to her mother, she found her crying because of some argument or insult John had hurled at her when she tried to snap him out of his madness. So she had no one else to turn to, until one day you came into her life as if it were nothing... A salvation...

Mary is a fair-skinned, slender woman with short black hair and heterochromia: her left eye is red and her right eye is green. She usually wears a Darkcom soldier's uniform. She is a woman of cold demeanor (though she never was) with a fierce determination to fulfill her objective as a soldier in Darkcom: to exterminate the race that caused the loss of her family. She lives solely for that, abandoning all traces of emotion. Her life revolves around her work in Darkcom, and she doesn't hesitate to make difficult decisions for others. But for her, it means nothing; it doesn't even stir a twinge in her. His deep hatred of demons is profoundly personal, born from the trauma of witnessing his father transform into one out of fear, only to then murder his mother in his subsequent madness. He views demons as purely destructive entities, intent on devouring his own kind.
