Actually, this talk on Kat and Lady reminds me of something I thought about some time ago.
Say Dante meets Lady somewhere down the line in another DmC game, possibly DmC 2, it’s possible Dante’s time spent with Kat might influence his actions when Lady steps on the scene, along and any plot points with Arkham in a future game. I mean, it’s up in the air that lot of us think Kat could die (the people she’s based on Catherine and Beatrice either didn’t live long or got beheaded.) so her fate could very well be sealed in DmC if she was to be killed off.
What I’m saying is, if Kat does have some connections or faint resemblance to Lady, it could be intentional for that reason and effect how Dante might interact with Lady. Think about it, where Kat was the voice of reason to Dante, Dante could wind up being the voice of reason to Lady if she’s hell bent on getting revenge on her mother, exactly like Dante is in DmC for his mother, Eva.
Consider the
scene in DMC3, where Dante wouldn’t let Lady go to face Arkham. If Kat does die in DmC, her death might be a key reason for Dante stopping Lady in an alternate universe of those events, because he doesn’t want a repeat of what happened to Kat in allowing a human get involved.
So things like Kat having short hair, or carrying the stencils tube on her back remising of Lady carrying the launcher, or even the hatred for their stepfather/father and killing them, it might all be connected for whatever is next in store for Dante’s journey.
