"Where's your motivation?"

Just thought I'd list out what(I guesstimate to be) motivates the main characters to do what they do throughout their lives.

Kat
(ChildHood)
Try to get over/treat the "nightmares".

Get through Foster Care

Endure my foster dad's beatings.


(Early Teens) Figure out what the "nightmares" really are.

Stop taking my medication

Endure dad's beatings.


(Mid Teens)
Control my powers.

Help Vergil fight and destroy the demons.

Kill my foster-father.

Be with Vergil.


(Late Teens)
Find Vergil's brother, "Dante".

Help end the tyranny of the Demon King: Mundus

Keep Vergil's identity a secret.
Stop Vergil.

Be there for Dante; because he's all I've got left.


I shall do Dante and Vergil (And possibly Eva and Sparda) later.

I wish we got some more Kat backstory. I think that would've been very interesting. Hell, even playing as her as she kills her demon foster father would've been cool. But I guess it didn't fit because the reboot was really more about Dante and his (family's) story.

I feel like Vergil could've been there during that last moment with her foster father. Maybe you could play as him as you start to kill him, but then at the end there's a cutscene where she delivers the final blow or something idk
 
i'm pretty sure Dante's for late teens is "BOOZE! SEX! BOOZE! KILL DEMONS! MORE SEX! "
I'm not disagreeing with this, but I do want to point out that it's probably got a couple more layers to it than that.
Like most teenage boys become hormones on two legs. His story would be with the added layers of being hunted and terrorised by demons since childhood, and as you pointed out, later on becoming the hunter.
Layers.
I like layers in back stories. I just wanted to try make it seem like Dante has more depth than being a sexual deviant and killing demons.
