Basic Details
Age: 545ish
Species: Umbra Witch
Personality:
"If there's two things I hate in this world, it's cockroaches and crying babies! Well, a crying baby cockroach would be truly terrible. So don't you dare cry!"
Bayonetta comes across as a very blasé woman. She isn't particularly fazed by anything and tends to take life as it comes. Despite this, she is not a woman to be trifled with. She is not the type to lay back and let someone walk all over her. She does what she wants and doesn't let people tell her what to do. She carries herself with an almost exaggerated sexuality but doesn't find anything odd about it. She can be quite brusque when dealing with people, especially if she finds them boring or not worth her time.
When it comes to battle she's downright brutal, though she tends to treat fights almost like a game. She's the type to smile seductively before cutting someone in half. However, she generally doesn't fight humans and rarely goes looking for a fight. The only creatures she has a real problem with are Angels and she's happy to ambush those whenever she likes but people? Not unless they attack first.
She has the pride of every Umbra Witch and does not take well to insults. She enjoys bantering with people however and has an almost smug air about her. She is not overly self-absorbed, she simply comes across that way. She takes great pleasure in teasing people, seeing what irritates them and playing on it. Since her time as guardian for Cereza she has mellowed noticeably but still isn't too keen on children. She's rather fond of Luka, though she tends to show it mostly through light-hearted teasing.
Bayonetta is a strong-willed woman, who can work well with others. This is seen in her partnership with Jeanne and even Luka, when he still thought she was the one who killed his father. She is hard to impress, having seen quite a lot in her five hundred plus years, even if she spent the majority of that in a coffin under water. She's hard to scare; after all, she spends a lot of time a The Gates of Hell which hardly attracts the nicest of clientèle.

In Character RP Sample
Cobblestones again. What was the international obsession with cobblestones? Thankfully The Dump hadn't bothered with them; they didn't really suit the stink pit. It was hell trying to navigate them in heels, it really was. Luckily, she'd gotten plenty of practice in Vigrid, what with all that incessant running and jumping after angels. With a confident strut, she swayed her hips as she walked, one foot in front of the other as though she was on a runway.
One hand slid down her side and into the tiny pouch which sat on her right hip. When it emerged, there was a bright red lollipop held firmly between forefinger and thumb. Bayonetta closed her lips around the sweet and an amused grin crossed her face. her lolly addiction was probably doing terrible things to her teeth but she didn't care. She brushed regularly and flossed, but after that it all came down to luck.
Rolling the lolly across her tongue, she planted one foot on the wall in front of her, inspecting the town with bored eyes. It looked like a hum-drum little place, which probably considered the annual zuchini fair exciting. Not really the ideal place for the excitement loving Umbra Witch but she supposed that having a quiet base town from which to further explore would be an alright idea. If she want to have fun, she could always drop into Purgatorio and antagonise some Angels.
It was odd that she hadn't seen any of Heaven's Little Helpers lately but they would show up. They always did."Hhh!"Bayonetta pushed off from the wall and jumped down into the town square, landing in a cat-like pose. Straightening up, she sauntered over to a raggedy little bench that didn't look like it would hold her entire weight. It looked like the bench version of a hobo. Still, it was a seat and one that was probably warmer than the wall. She perched on the edge of it and crossed her legs, swinging her outer foot lightly. She was already bored of this place, which did not bode well for the rest of her stay.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Powers & Abilities
"As long as there's music, I'll keep on dancing."
Acrobatic - Bayoneta is quite acrobatic, finding little difficulty in leaping from high places and landing gracefully, or cartwheeling away from an attack.
Crow Form - While in mid air, Bayonetta can transform into a crow and glide a short distance. She can also dive bomb an opponent with her sharp beak. Dive bombing will reverse the transformation.
Purgatorio - Bayonetta can shift between the human realm and a sort of in-between realm.When in Purgatorio, she cannot be hurt with attacks from the human realm, though this also means that that she cannot execute an attack on someone in the human realm. She can see those in different realms, though they appear as silvery outlines. Some people can also see her when she is in Purgatorio, especially through mirrors. Anyone can see her attacks as, if something is damaged or destroyed in one realm, it is damaged or destroyed in all realms. Even those who cannot see her clearly may be able to see a vague outline if they look closely.
The Beast Within - Whilst running, Bayonetta can transform herself into a panther for a boost in speed and agility. While this form can be used in battle, she cannot fight with it. The transformation is reversed if she stops moving, even for a second.
Umbran Witch - Bayonetta's heritage gives her increased vitality. Having been raised and trained as a Witch, she is also highly skilled in gun crafts.
Wicked Weave - Bayonetta can use her hair to form demons from Hell for a particularly strong attack. This can only be used once per thread and requires her undivided attention to pull off.
Witch Time - If Bayonetta manages to dodge an attack in the nick of time, her perception of time speeds up and her opponents lowers. Lasts for one post.
Witch Walk - Using the light of the moon, Bayonetta is capable of defying gravity and walking up walls.
Endurance - Bayonetta has superhuman endurance and can easily wave off blows that would leave an ordinary human...well...dead. She's taken blows from entire buildings and only staggered backwards.
Strength - As seen in her ability to lift entire buildings, Bayonetta has strength beyond any human, though she prefers to fight with her weapons. she generally only starts throwing buildings if someone else threw one first. After all, it's not fun if she wins too easily.
Magic - The full extents of her magic are unknown, even to herself. However, she can definitely enhance and hotwire vehicles with magic and has displayed a cryokinetic ability.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main/Important Equipment
Scarborough Fair - Crafted by the famed demon-smith Rodin, these four guns have been crowned with the names Parsley (ever joyous), Sage (ever strong), Rosemary (ever reminiscent), and Thyme (ever courageous). Pushing Bayonetta's magic to its limits, these guns' rate of fire and stopping power are incredible. Rodin stated, when he was giving Bayonetta the guns, that they were made of a metal so powerful that even the devil himself would do anything to have it. One is worn in a holster on each foot and the remaining two are kept at her side.
Odette - Odette is a set of ice skates. They have the ability tofreezetemporarily slow enemies whilst attacking. When moving around while wearing the skates, Bayonetta will skate instead of run, allowing for faster movement speed, and also leaves a trail of ice behind (though it is only for aesthetics).
Shuraba - Shuraba is a living, demonic katana. Shuraba's attacks are very quick and highly effective against smaller enemies.
Weaknesses
Psychological Flaws...
Missing Memories - Still missing some of her memories, one of the best weapons to use against Bayonetta is her past. Even the hint that an opponent might be someone she knew and cared for causes her to stumble.
Small Spaces - Ever since her stay in a nice, cozy coffin for a few centuries, Bayonetta has a deep loathing of small spaces and often blanks out if she's trapped in one, acting purely on instinct.
Physical Flaws...
Weapon dependency - Without some sort of weapon, be it guns, swords or fist weapons, she is at a severe disadvantage and will often flee.
Hand-to-hand combat - Having been raised as a gun user, Bayonetta has not learned any unarmed combat techniques, though she can still kick and punch, just not as well as if she were trained.
Fast attacks - When faced with a particularly speedy opponent, Bayonetta has increased difficulty in dodging. This is partially a mental block - If she thinks that she cannot dodge something then she hesitates or stumbles long enough for the attack to land.
Slightly Squishy - While able to endure quite a bit, she's not indestructible and can still be killed.
Other Flaws...
Crow Form - Has one weak attack. Will revert to normal after one post. Still vulnerable.
The Beast Within - No attack capabilities. Still vulnerable.
Wicked Weave - Requires her full attention. Requires a significant amount of power. If she is too injured or exhausted, this attack cannot be used.
Witch Walk - Requires moonlight.
Witch Time - Against an already speedy opponent, they are not so much slowed down as brought to an average speed. Opponents can break witch time before it's up by landing an attack on her. Swift fire multiple attack weapons, such as guns, are good for this. If witch time is broken before she lands an attack, the opponent has a greater chance of dodging. It is not impossible to dodge while in witch time, however, it is easier for those with fast reflexes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
History....
In the present day, an informant named Enzo has joined up with Bayonetta, a witch who was revived twenty years ago from the bottom of a lake and has little or no memories of her past. When Enzo informs her of the possible whereabouts of the person that owns the "Right Eye", one-half of a set known as the "Eyes of the World", she sets out to find this person, hoping that it may help her regain her lost memories.
Bayonetta follows Enzo's information to a city called Vigrid, and once there she is forced to fight Angels in order to progress. Shortly after her arrival, Bayonetta is confronted by Jeanne, another Umbra Witch, who seems to have allied herself with the Angels. Afterward, she meets a young man named Luka (nicknamed "Cheshire" by Bayonetta), who has been trying to track her down because he believes she is responsible for his father's death. After fighting her way through Vigrid, Bayonetta encounters Fortitudo, one of the four Cardinal Virtues, and faces him in battle. After being dispatched, Fortitudo reveals that he is merely a sacrifice to Jubileus, the Creator, whom the Angels are trying to resurrect.
After defeating Fortitudo, Bayonetta makes her way through the Crescent and Sunrise Valleys, and upon reaching the end, finds Jeanne conversing with Temperantia, the second of the Cardinal Virtues. Jeanne attacks Bayonetta, and the two Witches face off in battle, with Bayonetta emerging victorious. Continuing on her path, she eventually meets a lost child named Cereza, who wears glasses and carries around a stuffed cat named Cheshire. Much to Bayonetta's frustration, the child believes she's her mother and follows her around.
Together, they make their way to a portal leading to Paradiso, where Bayonetta is forced to defend Cereza from the Angels. Upon returning to the human world, Bayonetta leaves Cereza with Luka and confronts Temperantia, who she defeats.
Continuing her search for the Right Eye, Bayonetta follows Luka and Cereza down Prominence Bridge in an attempt to reach the island known as Isla del Sol, but becomes trapped in Paradiso. After escaping, she is attacked by Iustitia, the third Cardinal Virtue, and defeats him.Luka devises another plan to infiltrate Isla del Sol by boarding a Valkyrie jet headed for the island. However, Cereza becomes lost in the jet, and Bayonetta is forced to search for her. Interrupting her search is Jeanne, who knows full well about Cereza. The two Umbra Witches fight, with Bayonetta emerging victorious.
However, during their battle the jet was shot down by Sapientia, the final Cardinal Virtue.
Finally recovering Cereza, Bayonetta escapes the sinking Valkyrie with the girl and hands her to Luka. She is then attacked by Sapientia, who reveals after being defeated that the gem Bayonetta believes to be the Left Eye is nothing more than a "worthless rock". After the battle, Bayonetta heads for Isla del Sol with Luka and Cereza in a helicopter. However, their helicopter is suddenly shot down with missiles from the island. The group somehow survives, with Luka becoming ensnared in one missile's fins, and Bayonetta and Cereza safely perched on another. Bayonetta guides the missile back to Isla del Sol, shooting down attacking forces of angels, including clones of Fortitudo and Temperantia.
When they reach the island, Bayonetta is confronted once again by Jeanne, who is revealed to be the one controlling the missiles with a remote. Atop a tall building, she explains that Bayonetta was a child born from an Umbra Witch and a Lumen Sage. This was strictly forbidden by the clans' ancient commandments, as it was foretold that this would bring calamity to the world. Jeanne says that for that reason, allowing Bayonetta to exist is a danger that cannot be accepted. Luka suddenly arrives in a stolen vehicle and steals Jeanne's remote, before leaving with Cereza; however, the vehicle drives off the building and explodes.
As a stunned Bayonetta looks on in stupefaction, Jeanne states, "Time is of the essence. This can wait no longer!" and the two Umbra Witches fight one last time. Their battle begins atop the building, which then collapses onto another building, where the battle continues and Jeanne's clothing changes to a white version of Bayonetta's. The battle then shifts onto two separate missiles, before culminating atop another building. Bayonetta finally defeats Jeanne, who states that the reason Bayonetta possesses the Left Eye is because she has accepted her fate. Bayonetta hands Jeanne the gem she had been carrying, which triggers a recall of the events that occurred 500 years before.
Bayonetta suddenly remembers that her real name is Cereza, and that Jeanne was once her friend; it was Jeanne who sealed her away, giving Bayonetta the gem to protect her and the Left Eye. Their reunion is short-lived, however, as Jeanne sacrifices her own life to save Bayonetta from a missile attack. Bayonetta is blown through a window of the Ithavoll Building, and is joined by Luka and Cereza.
Upon walking up to a large double door, Cereza begins to hear a familiar voice and claims that it is her "Daddy". Bayonetta follows her up the tower, fighting clones of Temperantia, Iustitia, and Sapientia along the way, as well as encountering an enormous statue of Jubileus, the Creator, inside the building. Upon reaching the very top of the tower, Bayonetta finally meets Father Balder, the supposed last of the Lumen Sages, who has taken up residence in what is presumably the "highest point of Lumen hierarchy and society".
Balder reveals to Bayonetta that he is her father, and that he plans to reunite the three universes by resurrecting Jubileus, the Creator. To accomplish that, he needs the Eyes of the World, and one of those eyes - the Left Eye - is Bayonetta herself. Balder explains that due to her memory loss Bayonetta could not awaken the Left Eye, and the only way for her to realize her true potential was for her to regain those lost memories. When Bayonetta asks him where he got the girl, he reveals that Cereza is in fact her younger self and was part of the plan to make Bayonetta remember her past. Luka suddenly emerges from the shadows and ridicules Balder's "entrepreneurial philosophy". It is then that Balder reveals that it was in fact he, and not Bayonetta, who orchestrated the death of Luka's father. A furious Luka is lifted into the air by the limbs by four angels, and Balder tells him he will have the dignity of dying in the same manner as his father.
Bayonetta kills the angels before they can dismember Luka; however, Balder telekinetically throws Luka out of a window. Balder further angers Bayonetta by revealing he had mentally reprogrammed Jeanne to obey him, at which point Bayonetta attacks him. However, Balder easily overpowers her, grabbing her in a choke-hold and flinging her across the room, before absorbing Cereza to increase his power. An enormous shock wave destroys the room and begins to travel down the tower, reducing it to rubble. Bayonetta manages to recover and engages in battle with her father. Fighting amidst the falling rubble, Bayonetta ultimately manages to defeat Balder.
After the battle, Balder's lifeless body hits the ground, and Bayonetta lands safely with Cereza in her arms. A missile suddenly flies overhead, with Luka once again ensnared in its fins. Using her Umbran Watch, Bayonetta manages to open a time portal to bring the child, her younger self, back to her original timeline. However, this causes her to regain all her memories upon returning to the present time, causing her to fall unconscious. A seemingly unharmed Balder then reappears, stating that the Left Eye has now been awakened. He then transports himself and the unconscious Bayonetta towards the statue on top of the tower in order for them to begin the resurrection of Jubileus and take their places as the Eyes of the World, who would oversee a new reality for all eternity.
As they both enter into the eyes of the statue, the tower's outer structure crumbles to reveal a missile which launches into space. With Bayonetta imprisoned, Jeanne suddenly makes her reappearance. It is revealed that the gem she got from Bayonetta managed to remove Balder's mind control and allowed her to shield from the incoming missiles in the nick of time. She ascends the statue on her magically enhanced motorcycle by riding along the surface of the missile used to launch Jubileus into orbit. Arriving just in time to save Bayonetta, she pulls her out of the statue's left eye, causing Jubileus to go berserk and consume Balder in the process. Bayonetta and Jeanne manage to defeat the deity, but end up in a free-fall towards Earth. Both Bayonetta and Jeanne manage to survive the descent, and the epilogue shows them continuing their battles with the Angels.
Bayonetta's exit from her own world went so smoothly, she didn't notice straight away. There were rumours of strange creatures wandering around Purgatorio and she was enlisted to investigate. Using her usual method of entering the half-realm, she felt an odd tug in her mid-section and passed out. When she came to, she found herself somewhere else entirely. While she was definitely not in Purgatorio, she presumed she was still on her world but merely in a different town.
