Disclaimer: I own neither DMC nor the Furies of Greek/Roman mythology.
I was going to do the Hounds of Hell set first, but a reviewer asked for Beowulf. And reviewers are love.
The Furies/Erinyes are spirits/goddesses of vengeance. Alecto represents guilt and unending anger, Tisiphone sorrow and vengeance for murder, and Megaera suffering, unwillingness, and jealousy.

The Furies
Alecto – Beowulf
He had lost. He had ran. First that trai… Sparda had taken one eye, then his younger son (that the traitor had children!) the other, and both times he fled, to wait and seek vengeance.
Then he had been fool enough to mistake the elder for the weakened younger and attack.
It wasn't the loss but the disgrace. To have his body used as a punching bag… well, he had used lesser demons that way. He had been weak and they had been strong. He had lost. That was the law.
It was dishonorable to resent it as he did.
Tisiphone – Kalina Ann
Forged in anger. Forged for vengeance for her murdered mother. That was how Lady saw it.
In reality, custom-made for an obscene amount of money by a gunsmith who hadn't known the story and wouldn't have cared. He would have thought the client was nuts, but money talked.
She'd paid extra to have the name engraved on it. Not much extra compared to the total price. She'd had to sell pretty much everything she'd managed to steal away with her when she left for it and the bike.
She'd cried when she'd known she would have to sell the earrings.
Megaera – Yamato
He. Could. Do. Nothing.
Nothing.
The young Master… was not his father, but he showed proper respect to his memory. He was a worthy Master. Honorable, just, fair, stern in defense of his own honor.
Admiting it when he lost even to one who was without respect. Seeking to redeem himself, facing a foe far stronger.
Too honorable.
The young Master had lost, and by the law of the strong over the weak was Mundus' to do with as he wished.
But to torture a child to break him… the young Master was right to resist.
This was not honor.
