Bayonetta (Cherry)

Profile

Bayonetta (ベヨネッタ Beyonetta?) is a fictional character in the video game Bayonetta. Created by Hideki Kamiya, developed by PlatinumGames and published by Sega and Nintendo respectively. She is a flirtatious and mysterious Umbra Witch, who possesses a remarkable talent for the arts of shooting and is the bearer of the Left Eye, which oversees the darkness.

History

After a 500-year slumber in a coffin submerged at the bottom of a lake, Bayonetta faces off against the angelic hordes of Paradiso in order to discover the truth about her past and what she has forgotten during her sleep.

Appearance

Bayonetta is portrayed as a tall, young, and beautiful woman, with a slim yet curvy figure like the other Umbra witches of her clan. She has black hair wrapped in a beehive hairstyle, gray eyes, and a mole located on her lower left cheek near her lips. Her main attire consists of a skintight bodysuit made from her hair that has a rose design on the abdomen with long white gloves, black high heels, thin gold chains, three small belts tied on each arm, and a pair of cat-shaped gold earrings. Due to her hair-based fighting techniques, Bayonetta's outfit becomes more revealing when she uses a Hex Attack.

Personality

For most of the first game, Bayonetta can be seen as a calm character. Regarding her weapons as mere tools to get the job done, except for her favorite set of firearms, she seems to enjoy her situation as a way to unleash her hidden sadistic nature. Rather, she enjoys fighting angels in a brutal yet playful manner and remains calm, even when facing powerful angels like the Audito.
