Eva is a posthumous character in the Devil May Cry franchise. She was the human wife of Sparda, mother to the hybrid twins Dante and Vergil, and paternal grandmother of Nero. She most often appears as a photo on Dante's desk, but has a voice in the first Devil May Cry game. Later in the series, Eva makes her physical debut in a flashback in Devil May Cry 3 (manga) and in-game debut in Devil May Cry 5, again in a flashback. Despite her importance as a factor to the paths her children take in life, little is known about Eva.
