** Trish did do something of note: she is the only DMC woman who fights the Big Bad at the end of her game. While Lady and Lucia had to leave the fight entirely to Dante, Trish charged in when Dante was about to be killed by Mundus and summoned her lightning to finish off Mundus and save the day. Granted, Dante was the one who pulled the trigger, but it was still \\\'\\\'her\\\'\\\' power. Furthermore, while we are shown her taking out only a few mooks in the fourth game, her saying \\\"no matter how many you kill, more will come\\\" and later Dante\\\'s request to protect the townspeople from a whole invading army of demons implies that she took out \\\'\\\'a lot\\\'\\\' of them offscreen.
Lucia fought Arius with Argosax\\\'s power and proved herself capable of holding her own, and Lady showed up and offed her father. Pretty notable in that she still managed that as a human, capable of doing impressive feats and then some. Trish only charged in at the last moment through a DeusExMachina to save Dante, which comes \\\'\\\'after\\\'\\\' Mundus is already weakened and falling apart. She barely fought.
The last sentence is probably the most telling of her status as a Faux Action Girl. We\\\'re only \\\'\\\'informed\\\'\\\' that she saved the townspeople and took down a lot of lesser demons but she did it \\\'\\\'offscreen\\\'\\\'-- As in, no one sees this but we\\\'re supposed to be taking someone else\\\'s word for it. Also, \\\'\\\'lesser demons\\\'\\\'. Nero can take them out. Lady can take them out. Dante even more so, and if Trish is supposedly on his level, why is she not handling tougher things than Scarecrows?
Lastly, Dante didn\\\'t request that she save the townspeople, he only accepted Credo\\\'s request of saving his family, while she immediately decided not to help him in \\\'\\\'his\\\'\\\' task, but to go off to do the (presumably easier) job of evacuating the citizens. Dante even protests \\\"Hey! Is this your way ditching and dumping this mess on me?\\\" so not only is it evident that she \\\'\\\'started\\\'\\\' the problem of the fourth game in the first place, she\\\'s the one deciding to take the easy way out by the end. And yeah, offscreen heroism/fighting skill is pretty much a requirement of this trope.
