Bayonetta is the titular protagonist of the Bayonetta series of games.
Background
Bayonetta, really named Cereza, is the daughter of Umbra Witch Rosa and Lumen Sage Balder. Despite being part-Lumen Sage, she was raised among the Umbra Witches. However, the union of Umbra Witch and Lumen Sage broke the balance of the three worlds, driving the forces of Paradiso and Inferno into a war that killed most of the Umbra Witches, except for Cereza and another witch named Jeanne, but Cereza ended up sealed in a coffin at the bottom of a lake. In present day, Cereza awakens from her prison and, with no memory of her past, gets the help of demon weaponsmith Rodin and his loud-mouthed informant Enzo to kill any of the angels that come after her to kill her and drive the Umbra Witches into extinction.
Powers & Abilities
- Superhuman Strength: As an Umbra Witch, Bayonetta is much stronger than the ordinary human. She's strong enough to suplex massive dragons and send giant buildings flying with her kicks.
- Superhuman Speed: Even without Witch Time, Bayonetta is extremely fast. She can kick fast enough to set her leg on fire, and react to falling satellites in seconds.
- Superhuman Agility: To go with her speed, Bayonetta also has great reflexes. She's easily capable of dodging bullets and even lightning.
- Witch Time: Witch Time is a secret magic of Umbra Witches that slows time around them to a crawl, letting them avoid deadly attacks without much trouble.
- Wicked Weaves: Bayonetta summons the limbs of Infernal Demons by forming them out of hair to deal powerful punches and kicks to her enemies.
- Torture Attacks: When she needs to finish off an enemy fast, Bayonetta can form her hair into massive torture machines to brutally rip and tear her foes apart.
- Beast Within: Another ability of Umbra Witches is the power to shapeshift into animals. Bayonetta can turn into a panther for a speed boost, a crow for flight that can also shoot feathers as projectiles, a swarm of bats to fly through enemy attacks, and a snake for underwater travel.
- Summoning Infernals: One of Bayonetta's most powerful abilities is the power to summon Infernals, demons from the pits of Inferno, by using a special dance and chant to form them out of her hair. Some of these demons are Madama Butterfly, a giant demon women with butterfly wings and the strength to shatter meteors with her punches, Gomorrah, a demonic dragon that can rip an entire angel to pieces, Malphas, a large raven that Bayonetta can summon the wings of to let her fly, Hekatoncheir, a six-armed giant with the strength to pulverize mountains, though Bayonetta usually just summons its arms, and Queen Sheba, the ruler of Inferno who has enough power to send someone flying through the solar system with enough force to shatter every planet they hit.
- Other Magic: Bayonetta has a large array of magical powers, from walking up walls during a full moon, to cartoonishly flattening herself to survive being crushed, to hijacking vehicles by sticking her finger into ignition, and even freezing water with her breath.
Equipment
- Love is Blue: Bayonetta's main handguns and replacements for her previous guns, the Scarborough Fair, Love is Blue is a set of four handguns that Bayonetta wields in her hands and feet by sticking to of them in her heels.

Alternate Forms
