Béatrice is know in the neighbourhood as Dante's roommate and also as his assistant even if technically, she's still looking for a job. She's described as someone who's always optimistic, caring, calm and selfless. Because of this she's sometimes treated as if she was too "innocent" or "pure" which annoy her but she never said it out loud. She's very close to Dante. They joke or tease each others, he's the only person with who she feel confortable enough to yap about her hobbies for hours. Béatrice feel like she owe him a lot since it's thank to him she have a roof which why she overwork and try to found a job, she don't want to burden. However, she worry about him because she have seen how he changed since he went to the Temen Ni Gru. Dante never told her what happened there neither about his origins, he's too scared of her reaction or even losing her.

When he was under the indentity of Tony Redgrave, him and Grue owed him money so he sometimes come there for the debt, that's how he met Béatrice. They quickly got along and without realizing, he started to come more often in the flower shop. But everything changed when one day, demons targeted the shop and set it on fire. Béatrice was the only survivor. She no longer had a home, a job or a family.

I'm writing a fanfiction about this in ao3. It's still on going.
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
These are the words of the psychiatrist lady that evaluates Dante and Mary.
She asks Dante to to describe what happened after he was unfrozen.
Both Dante and Mary give different accounts about the event and the art style changes for each character when they describe what happened.
Starting with Dante, the art style becomes kawaii and him and Mary become chibis.
If this is how Dante saw his reunion with Mary, I thought it was weird...
Why does he imagine her as a blushing high-school girl?
Is that what he wants? When did Mary show that side of her? I do recall her blushing when she was on top of him in one episode. Was that enough for Dante to consider that she is so cute and that she has feelings for him, so much that he believes that she acts like that?
Don't you think that the way he envisions her is telling us that he doesn't know her that well?
That's why I think their relationship is forced because they hardly got to know each other. Dante wasn't angry for what she did to him and he imagines Mary like that...
In his own words, he was drugged, trapped and imprisoned and he says that it's "their thing".
Buddy, your "thing" is the result of following orders that Mary followed until the end when she betrayed you and had no problem with that!
When it shows what really happened, Dante doesn't bring up what she did after he was taken out from the cryogenic chamber. What he could have told her, he only said it to that psychiatrist lady. Again he admits that Mary did those things to him and thinks that it's something personal between them, thinking that it's what they do as friends?
Yeah...only one thing actually happened.
From Mary's perspective the artstyle changes with a darker serious tone fits DMC. It's s weird but Mary tells her side of the story by imagining Dante saying something funny and afterwards Dante calls her out on what she did to him, but things didn't happen like that.
I could say that perhaps Mary was indeed feeling guilty about what she did and wanted him to be mad at her but it seems that the only thing that was true from their accounts is how Dante reacted hearing that Vergil was alive and working for Mundus.
He had a pretty strong reaction but when he told his version, there was none of that. He imagined himself that he teams up with Mary. Oh and the art style changed to JoJo's Bizzare adventure...
Hey audience, you get it? Dante is the funny one...
Despite the fact that both had different takes on the event, the one thing thing that was true was true in the end was Dante's reaction when she told him about Vergil.
I really don't like how in regard to Dante, they had to make him look like a dumbass who doesn't take things seriously, so much that he had to be represented with a cute art style that conveys that he's childish.
So yeah, his recount of the event pretty much, at least for me, conveyed how his relationship with Mary is badly written, so much that even fuckin Arius, the antagonist had to say
I knew that their relationship would be forced. I was expecting that NDante MUST be in a relationship because it's typical Western media cliche. The guy needs to get the girl or else he's a loser and of course there's gotta be some make out or sex scenes because how else can it be a mature production and it's something that again, it's mostly in Western animation for the modern audience?
It was obvious from the start that they would end up together but it should have happened later in my opinion because I feel they didn't have time to know each other better.
I don't care what other say, them kissing isn't a fucking "win". I thought we all agreed that the adaptation is non-canon?
Fuck, I don't say "I've won!" when I look at fanart or read fanfics of my favorite pairings who might not have kissed.
If everything Mary did to Dante and he calls it "their thing"...Well fuck, does that make him a masochist?
Holy character assassination, Chi's voice actor Salli Saffiotia just confirmed that Chi is supposed to be the Netflix version of Lucia. Not the character that looks like Lucia, Chi is.
Lucia, who's greatest fear was that she would be used as a weapon by Arius to hurt people to the point that she begged Dante to kill her, is reduced to exactly that in the show, reduced to a murderous servant of the character she hated most in the games, and then killed off. No shade to the voice actor, she didn't write this garbage, but dear god what where they thinking? Being a Lucia fan is suffering.
Lady doing the right thing in killing the Guard to save the imprisoned Makaians was nice but I am not over them not having any agency or characterization whatsoever. This is a reddit post detailing why it bothers me.
This is why I removed the 9/11 stand-in for my own version of "makaians" and actually have them attempt to do things to help their own community in my rewrite, as stuff like this gets really messy.
White Rabbit still does help them in my rewrite with the portal, but in this the portal device was actually planned and developed by a Makaian Scientist, but after his public execution and his documents having been burned and buried, the rest made no such attempt. Until the White Rabbit made friends with a rebellious child who oozes "hot blooded anime protagonist" trope and becomes leader of the refugees as they both got older. With White Rabbit as his "second-in-command" due to best friend privileges and being the newfound owner of the device he rebuilt.
Then he dies due to the DARKCOM massacre and everything starts from there.
I ONLY WATCHED 3 EPISODES FOR THE MOMENT AND I'M ALREADY SUFFERING !!! IT’S SO BAD THAT I'M MAKING A GOOGLE DOC WHERE I WRITE HOW I FEEL !! IT’S THE FIRST TIME I DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT !! FUCK YOU NETFLIX !!!
