#i love heiress trish

[mister13eyond]

thoughts/feelings on slightly-better-dads au where the diadops adopt trish into a life of supernatural crime instead of a life of attempted murder? failing that: who r the best and most fun/disastrous ot3 candidates?

GOSH THESE ARE BOTH THINGS I'VE DEVOTED A LOT OF THOUGHT TO SO PARDON ME FOR BIG BIG INFODUMP

okay, so the first scenario is... legit a scenario my partner and i are playing with in roleplay right now... so this is a pretty well-built series of thoughts that i'll try to boil down into something comprehensible

but first and foremost, I think that it's interesting if the early part of Diavolo/Doppio and Trish's history is identical up to a certain point- ie, Donatella gets knocked up during a fling, raises Trish alone, and passes when Trish is 15. I think there's something really compelling about Trish still having to build a relationship with this utter stranger that is her father? Especially with Diavolo taking her under his wing as a pupil for crime, because I think like.... If he raised her from birth, I think Diavolo would be a very different person than he is now, and I don't think he'd have nearly the same philosophy on running Passione, since I feel like a lot of his insistence on power and utmost secrecy was at the heart of his position, and if he had people who knew him and spent time with him he'd be a drastically different person than a person who essentially spent every moment of his life alone. But if he's still Diavolo- if he's still been alone until now, and he still has Passione wound tight under his control, and he hadn't tried to kill Trish to wipe clean his identity, I could see him interested in the idea of legacy. Like... Diavolo has only ever trusted one person with the full breadth of viewing all of Passione as a whole- he only has one underling that is allowed in the position of underboss- and he knows for a fact that when he dies, that person will die with him. There would be a massive power void if Passione were to dissolve, but there would also be a whole bloodthirsty mess of infighting for the position and a possible schism if it were to be proven that Passione was without a leader. So I find it really interesting thinking about Diavolo seeing in Trish an opportunity, because I think that kind of pragmatic view would be the only way he would ever give Trish a chance? Because the thing I love most about the idea of him raising her as his heir is the idea of Trish as his heir, as she is now- ruthless, motivated, confident, guarded Trish. The same Trish that was raised by a single mother, the same Trish that demands givenchy blush and sparkling water from a crew of criminals who holds her life in their hands, the same Trish that held Bruno's hand in the elevator because she was terrified. I think she would have already somewhat built a determination about this and a tolerance for violence during her time being with the Bucci gang as they escorted her, and if she had any connection to or positive relationship to them I think she'd be willing to go- okay, so i become a criminal. so what? some of the only people i've ever been able to stand are criminals. SO I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA that she gets to San Giorgio Maggiore, and instead of what goes down in the elevator, it reaches its destination and she sees Doppio. Who is apologetic that the Boss wasn't able to come pick her up in person, but he'll be looking after her in the meantime! And for a while Trish is just like, floating around with Doppio waiting for the other shoe to drop, wondering if she's just in a further limbo and when her father is going to hurry up and kill her (because she's decided, at this point, that he is undoubtedly going to kill her, and he's just prolonging it.) And Doppio says he's never seen the Boss's face before, even though he's the underboss, and so she's CONVINCED she's going to be erased, if even his underboss can't know his face. Until one night, when Doppio is asleep in his room, and Diavolo makes his introduction to her. In person. Shows her his face, and Trish is convinced this is it.

Except he makes her a deal. Because he's been observing her while she was traveling with Doppio, assessing her from afar. And he has determined that she would be a worthy successor to all that he has built. She is not capable of taking it from him- not yet- because if he viewed her a threat, she would not survive. He makes this clear. But he sees in her the potential to step into his shoes, given time, training and guidance. And he has been thinking of legacy, and the fate of Passione. Trish doesn't understand why he isn't leaving it to Doppio, but he won't give her a reason aside from a solid and resolute "he will not be able to run it without me, no matter what." And Trish and Diavolo both like... Diavolo tells her, flat out, that he does not know how to be a father to her. He does not know how to be family, he does not know how to try and step into a role as her parent. And Trish is like, that's fine, i don't really have room for another parent in my life. my mom raised me pretty damn well on her own, and I don't think anyone can ever step into the shoes she filled. so like....if they're not going to come into this trying to force some familial bond neither of them wants, he gets a chance to bond with her as a mentor. Which I think is something Diavolo is far, far more equipped to be. Because he's spent so much time in that role for Doppio, and he is very comfortable conceptually with guiding someone into their own strength and slowly immersing someone in the world of crime. AND THEN YOU GET THIS KIND OF FUN DOUBLE LIFE, LIKE.... Trish is still living with Doppio, and as far as she knows, Doppio is just the Underboss, just some guy who has never met her father in his life. She's also partially convinced he's actually a blood relative of hers, because the resemblance is uncanny (which makes her feel very Odd about Doppio's fervent, romantic devotion to the Boss, because he can't find a way to be normal about Diavolo, not when he's actually Never had anyone else around who knows that the Boss even exists or who Doppio is. He's literally never been able to talk about his work with anyone else, with the level of secrecy he needs to operate properly as the Underboss, so when he can tell Trish even a little of anything the floodgates come open and he can't hold back the clear strong, absolute devotion with which he approaches his work, and Trish figures out pretty quick that his feelings about the Boss are not purely professional. But she also can't seem to convince him that he has anything to do with the Boss bloodwise- trust me, he has absolutely no link to a nobody like me, my father died before I was born- so she figures well, it's none of HER business.)

So she's kind of nurturing this weird almost-sibling bond with Doppio, because she's convinced they're two castoffs in the same boat together, and she's kind of in this wibbly spot where the two of them could almost bond if they weren't both so hardheaded. Because Doppio is really hardheaded and kind of sees her as a threat to his relationship with the Boss, because he doesn't understand why he's being tasked with looking after her when there is so much more important work he could be doing. And she wants to connect to him, and he keeps almost letting down his walls to her, but they're both so stubborn and get into very bullheaded arguments.

And like, at the same time, by night, she's training to be the Boss's heir. And Trish is harboring this secret- that she knows who the Boss is, that she's being trained as an heir, that he revealed his face to her- because she agrees when Diavolo asks her to keep this secret, is willing to pretend to Doppio like she's never met him- while Diavolo and Doppio's secret looms just outside of either Trish or Doppio's purview- so it's a really fun double life. Doppio wakes up every morning exhausted without knowing why, finds Trish just as exhausted in the morning, and neither of them knows the other was, essentially, out all night getting no sleep and training in combat and stand power. IT'S JUST A VERY VERY FUN KIND OF TENSION AND PLAY ON THE SECRET DOUBLE LIFE TROPE? WHICH MAKES IT VERY FUN TO PUT BOTH TRISH AND DOPPIO THROUGH IT..... Trish is trying to earn favor with Diavolo as her mentor by proving herself a worthy successor, eager to learn the ropes of what it will take to run Passione, and Diavolo is telling Doppio that Doppio's most important mission right now is to act as Trish's guardian and keep her safe and cared for, and Doppio thinks Trish is just a normal civilian he has to babysit, so they're never fully honest with each other.

But at the same time, Trish and Doppio are really actually connecting as a found family in a way Diavolo and Trish are not, as Trish actually like- finds a lot of solidarity with him and wants to bond with him in a familial sense, she just- views him as a brother, to some degree. She fully thinks they may be in the same position. And Doppio really is genuinely like for the first time in his life open to actually bond to someone else, and share any aspect of his life, because he has been so, so isolated for so long. And it makes him very weak to her to some degree, like- oh no, he's making a friend? oh no? he enjoys her company? there is someone he can experience equality and solidarity with? there is someone who actually gets to know him longer than a day? so the two of them really do wind up a weird little family even as Trish has a really professional, purely business and mentee relationship with Diavolo, focused as she is on becoming an heir and growing to be a capable enough leader to run passione.

oh my god this got so long, i was going to answer the second question about most fun/chaotic ot3 partners but I don't know if I have enough words left in me after accidentally that whole spiel. I JUST THINK A SLIGHTLY-LESS-BAD-DADS-CRIME-LIFE IS SO COOL AND INTERESTING CONCEPTUALLY AND HAVE GENUINELY BEEN EXPLORING IT FOR A WHILE IN AN AU WITH MY PARTNER.... AAAAAA thank you for the good question, this sparked me to talk about this headcanon so much. it's so good THIS WAS A GOOD INFODUMP OPENING

the elle fan.ning perfume commercial just came on and when i tell you my head snapped up and i was staring without realizing what i was even looking at.

Day 1- DMC OC WEEK

While I have up to 4 characters, I think the best one to start with would be the lovely heiress herself, Ivenya.

Now this is specifically the design she’d have when she’s 29 but story wise we would never see her at that age. But I love the design so yeah.

Anyway to the basic introductory information!

Ivenya

She is commonly referred to as Ivey though because Dante is lazy.

While she has no set birthday, month or year, she tells people her birthday is July 17th. No one knows how old she really is because of this fact.

She weighs around 130lbs, most likely heavier.

While heights aren’t exactly known in DMC, I would say she’s 5’10. But for reference, she would be taller than Lady but shorter than Trish.

The lovely demon heiress is bisexual!

English isn’t her first language, technically speaking. She started out speaking only in a demonic language and had to learn English from Dante and Lady. When she speaks it, she has a bit of an accent.

I keep referring to her as the lovely demon heiress. Let me explain.

Ivey comes specifically from the Fire Hell, and while it is a lawless land, she has become the heiress of it (and later on its queen) through a series of bloody battles. I will reveal how she actually took the crown on day 6.

Also I feel the need to mention that just because she is the heiress to Fire Hell, she is *not* stronger than Dante, Mundus, or any of them. She’s really fucking strong but not OP.

“Whoa she looks really human for a demon” yeah… there’s a story reason for that. Basically to blend in with humanity while trying to kill someone, she accidentally got herself cursed and has not figured out how to reverse it. (Yet?)

Also that dress isn’t sparkly, it’s sequins.

She has a very small, barely noticeable scar on her left shoulder from being shot

She was shot with an arrow, and it was ice. Fire and ice don’t mix. If she were to die, imagine she’d become like the Dimitrescu daughters from RE8. Ice kills her.

Fun fact- the original concept for her was made when I was 10 and didn’t know what DMC was yet.

That’s… about all I think I can say with intro stuff! I look forward to talking more about her though! (I’ll probably add more things if I think of any)

[headoverjojo]

Hey Tri? Psssss, pssss 👀 Evil!Trish??? >:3 (Aaaannndddd hhuuuugggg ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ)

Esteeeeee :,) ⊂（♡⌂♡）⊃ hewwo :3 aaaaaa you know that I have a soft spot for this hhhh 💚 and! I’ve added also some Dad!Diavolo since I’m a weak woman. Alright, let’s go!

Diavolo and Evil!Trish

(Under the cut for length!)

Diavolo should have known better. He should have known that leaving the leading to Doppio wouldn’t have been a great idea. But, at the time, Diavolo’s personality wasn’t still completely formed and so couldn’t take total control of Doppio’s body as he would have done in future. So he couldn’t have stopped him from bonding with that girl, Donatella Una, and prevented all the consequences from that contact.

Just after the destruction of his hometown and the foundation of his organization, Passione, he found out that Donatella, his old crush, had been pregnant. And not by some random man, no. By him.

The baby was his.

Diavolo never felt so much dread sitting in his guts. The baby… must have been terminated. It was too dangerous, they… couldn’t live. He wanted to delete his past, all his past, included Donatella and the baby who, hearing his informators, hadn’t more that six months. It was something that required his presence.

Following the informations, Diavolo came to his ex-girlfriend’s house. Here… the kid. Donatella was sleeping, oblivious of the menacing presence that was about to end the life of her precious… daughter.

Diavolo’s green eyes reflected in the baby’s ones. A puff of pink hair -right like his- stood on her tiny head, so easy to crush. He looked at the letters above the cribs- Trish… so the baby was called Trish.

His daughter was called Trish.

He looked down at her again, tilting his head to a side. How strange… a creature so little could be so dangerous. He felt drawn to her, as they shared a soul bond; once adult, she would have felt it too, always knowing where he was, putting him, in fact, in danger. She must be eliminated.

He lifted his hand, ready to hit, as his King Crimson came to life, but, to his utter stupor, the little girl lifted her small hands too, opening and closing her little fists, staring at King Crimson. She…. could see his stand? She was a stand user too, so? Unexpectedly, a wave of pride washed over him. His daughter was already a stand user. Of course, she was his daughter, Diavolo’s daughter, the daughter of the most powerful stand user of the whole world. He couldn’t have expected less.

And this made him reflect.

Killing her… was the right choice, in the end? Having a heiress sounded incredibly alluring… and the baby had already showed her abilities, if only… if only well educated, if he would have made her grow up in his world, made her totally loyal to him…

He slowly lowered his hand, instead picking up the little girl, holding her, a bit awkwardly. Trish looked up at him, as she already knew who he was, and patted his cheek with her little chubby hand. For the first time since long, long time, a gesture so simple teared from him a small smile.

“Yes, my child. You know who I am. You’re going to grow up with me. You’ll become strong and loyal. You’ll be my worthy heiress, Trish.” he murmured, as the baby stared in his eyes, fearless, as she knew that her destiny, from that moment on, would have depended by that man, by her father. The life she had known and barely remembered, her mother… it all was washed away.

Trish grew at Diavolo’s side, always watched and followed by her father. Since her early childhood, Diavolo grew her as his utterly loyal and devoted daughter and heiress. She never thought even for an instant about betraying him. He was her father, the only parent she had ever known: he was everything.

She knew about her father’s splitted personality, the Diavolo one and the Doppio one: she loved them both, as she was both’s daughter. She had Diavolo’s coldness and decision, but Doppio’s sweet and soft traits: it was crazily useful when she was in mission. Who would have ever suspected of a girl with a so innocent face?

Diavolo was proud of his daughter. She was rightly as he had pictured her: strong willed, sharp minded, discrete, ready to follow his orders… And her stand, Spice Girl, even if not as strong as his King Crimson -not that he blamed her for this: being as strong as King Crimson was impossible- was incredibly useful and she used it with smartness. It was what mattered the most.

It wasn’t all good, however. Some people in the organization still tried to find out his identity and, if someone would have ever known about his precious daughter, it would have been the end of him. So he terminated immediately who could have been a threat both to him and Trish, who he had sent in a secret city of North Italy to study. To his dismay, he was grown attached to the little girl, getting used to have her at his side… now that she was a teenager and far away, he felt a little nostalgic. He… missed his girl.

But, when she was 15 years old, things dropped way too suddenly for his tastes.

News about his daughter filtered out and arrived to the Squadra Esecuzioni, a team that, since the dispatch of two of its members, had been kept under observations. They thought, not wrongly, that with the Boss’ daughter in their hands they could have located him but what it mattered more for him was Trish’s safety. So she sent her to Pericolo, who sent her to Bucciarati and his team. Diavolo observed from afar, closely following his daughter’s journey with the team. To his utterly satisfaction, Bucciarati’s kids showed an unexpected strength, killing one by one the members of Squadra Esecuzioni. Even better, he wouldn’t have had to move a finger. He observed his daughter, how she blent perfectly with the team in the role of the spoiled girl who didn’t know a thing about mafia and its dangers. If only they knew…

He had to meet her at Venice. For that time, all the Squadra, minus Risotto, had been annihilated. Risotto was a too high target: he would have gone personally. But until then… he would have had his daughter back. Bucciarati and his team would have been compensated and all would have gone well and nicely.

Just that it didn’t go like this.

Bucciarati’s team betrayed him. Thinking that “they were saving Trish for a man who sold drug to children”, what a bullshit. Still, his heart swell in pride when Trish didn’t let the cover fall down. Just as he taught her….

He ordered to his Unità Speciale to block them and kill the traitors, but not to lay a hand on his daughter. He got angrier and angrier when even his Unità Speciale was wiped out by those damn kids.

How dared they to try to hunt him down like a dog?! They really thought to have a chance to kill him, Diavolo, Don of Passione? To beat his King Crimson? They didn’t even know that he was hiding behind his sweet Doppio, that his precious daughter was luring them all to the death they deserved. The first to fall had been Abbacchio, Moody Blues’ user.  He was too dangerous to stay alive. Still, they seemed to have plans… he felt, through his daughter, where they were heading and so did he. Still, he sent before Cioccolata and Secco, that freak duo, in an attempt to buy time. He would have arrived soon enough to block them -even once for all if needed- and take back his daughter.

But then came the Coliseum and Polnareff and all seemed to just crumble down as a sand castle. So… this was his end? A so inglorious end? And what about his daughter? What fate waited for her?

But it seemed that fate wasn’t totally done with him. He could snap off Doppio, immediately following his daughter’s soul during the swap. Trish knew, of course she knew. But she didn’t say a word, just lightly smirked, feeling stronger now that she knew that her father was near her. Now no one, no Bucciarati’s team, no Requiem bullshit could defeat them.

She carefully acted as usual, as the scared, distressed and spoiled girl, criticizing the body -Mista the gunman, if he remembered well- she was ended in. Thanks to her, Diavolo could call King Crimson out and eliminate the threat embodied by Narancia Ghirga, Aerosmith’s user, the only one who could have unmasked them.

But it wasn’t finished. Bucciati, Mista and Giorno Giovanna were still alive. He and Trish had to play smartly their cards, to get the arrow and be invincible.

And oh, they did it.

They played in a perfect tandem, fooling them all. Fooling even Giorno, who thought to be so smart and always one step above them. Oh, what a stupid, stupid boy. Like he could compete with him and his daughter.

And, right when they all thought it was done, that Diavolo could have been taken down once for all, Trish thrown away the mask.

Holding the arrow, with a smirk on her -Mista’s- face, she stared at her ex -or, better, they never were so- comrades. And, in that moment, they all understood. Too late to prevent what was by now unavoidable.

Trish sank the arrow in her father’s stand and the last bell rang for the traitors, in a requiem which was just for them.
