[edit] Nevan the Lightning Witch
One of the gatekeepers of Temen-ni-gru sealed away by Sparda, Nevan is a succubus who seduces men down the path to hell. She fights with a combination of lightning and her bats which defend and attack for her[2]. She is also able to latch onto Dante and suck his soul out through his mouth.
Dante meets her on his path down to the Lair of Judgement. When he enters Sunken Opera House, they flirt and then begin to fight. Dante defeats her, and she relinquishes her soul to Dante as a Devil Arm.
