Bayonetta (Bayonetta 3)

==Summary==
Bayonetta (real name Cereza), is a coquettish, mysterious Umbra Witch and the eponymous protagonist of the Bayonetta series. As suave as she is dangerous, she blasts her way through the armies of Paradiso and Inferno to recover the memories she lost after a five-hundred-year slumber, with her heritage and destiny as the Left Eye of the World dragging her into conflicts that will decide the fate of all three worlds.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the mysterious homunculi led by Singularity, Bayonetta encounters a mysterious girl by the name of Viola who explains the new threat and the danger they present to the multiverse. Going with Viola to the island of Thule, Bayonetta travels the multiverse, encountering alternate versions of herself in various worlds as she attempts to find the Chaos Gears that hold the key to defeating Singularity.
By the end of the game it is implied that this Bayonetta is actually the younger Cereza that was brought to the present by Father Balder's machinations in the events of Bayonetta 1, growing up to have fought through the witch hunts alongside Jeanne, in contrast to her mainstream counterpart who had been sealed away.

Weaknesses: Can be somewhat Overconfident and sadistic at times. The Umbran Watch is a vital object to Bayonetta's life force and the source to her immortality and if damaged or destroyed could result in significant loss of stamina or even death. 
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Dark Arts=
*Witch Time: The Umbra Witch's version of Temporal Control, Witch Time is an ability that allows Bayonetta to increase her statistics and slow down time to the point that projectiles appear nearly motionless and extensive battles can take place in a matter of seconds. This allows the user to bypass their opponent's defenses and execute combinations of attacks and other feats that would otherwise be impossible to do in normal speed. Bayonetta also can stack Witch Time over itself to further increase her speed.
*Wicked Weaves: A technique that can be executed by powerful Umbra Witches to summon forth parts of Infernal Demons. Bayonetta's Wicked Weaves usually summon the massive limbs of Madama Butterfly, the demoness she has made a pact with, though she is entirely capable of using any of the demons under her command in conjunction with this technique. Wicked Weaves significantly increase the power of Bayonetta's attacks, and become more powerful still the farther into a combo a Wicked Weave is produced.
*Torture Attacks: A special ability allows Bayonetta to summon ancient devices that were once used to torture her fellow Witches during the Witch Hunts, giving her the ability to use them instead on her enemies. These attacks range from an iron maiden, decapitation by guillotine, placing them into a grinder, burning them, hanging them, crushing them to death, and pulling out a chainsaw to bisect foes.
*Charge Bullet: A technique that charges Bayonetta's guns as she fires normally, imbuing her bullets with more magic and as a result making them much more powerful.
*Beast Within: A series of transformational techniques that Bayonetta can use to shapeshift into different animals that grant her new abilities.
**Panther Within: Bayonetta transforms into a black panther, granting her increased movement speed and longer jumps.
**Crow Within: Bayonetta transforms into a large crow, giving her the ability to fly for a short period of time and shoot homing feathers.
***Umbran Spear: Bayonetta transforms into a crow and darts towards her target at incredible speed to deal damage while also staggering the target.
**Bat Within: A defensive technique that, by successfully dodging an attack at the very last second, briefly transforms Bayonetta into a flock of bats and push away nearby enemies. Witch Time will also activate once Bayonetta reforms.
**Snake Within: Bayonetta transforms into a long cobra that allows her to glide through underwater locations whenever this is activated. This form acts as an underwater equivalent to Panther Within.
*Infernal Kiss: Bayonetta blows a kiss, sending a trio of heart-shaped projectiles at the target, an otherwise impassible angelic seal. This opens a small portal to Inferno that shatters the seal.
**Heart Shot: A variation of Infernal Kiss that allows Bayonetta to shatter demonic barriers by launching several bullets at them in a heart-shaped formation.
**Witch Snap: An additional variation of Infernal Kiss that allows Bayonetta to break miscellaneous barriers by snapping her fingers in the target's direction. 
*Witch Walk: A Dark Arts technique utilized by all Umbra Witches that allows them ignore the pull of gravity to walk on vertical and upside-down surfaces.

|-|Martial Arts=
*After Burner Kick: An aerial technique in which Bayonetta flies toward an opponent and deliver a flaming kick for extra damage. 
*Witch Twist: An aerial attack that is designed to launch small or staggered enemies airborne. Bayonetta drops to her knees and spins on the ground before suddenly twisting and launching herself skyward. She can also fire her guns into the air while twisting. 
*Tetsuzanko: A technique with any hand-mounted weapon that allows Bayonetta to instantly perform a forward slam attack that knocks enemies up and away from her.
**Heel Stomp: Tetsuzanko's sister technique that Bayonetta can use with any weapons equipped on her feet.
*Stiletto: A technique used for simultaneously closing the distance between Bayonetta and her target whilst also attacking them, with varying effects depending on the weapons she is holding in her hands.
**Heel Slide: A technique similar to Stiletto used for simultaneously closing distance between Bayonetta and her target whilst also attacking them by using the weapon equipped to her feet. In comparison to Stiletto, Heel Slide is faster, does much more damage on average and goes a lot farther. Unlike Stiletto however, it cannot be executed in mid-air.
*Bullet Climax: A technique that allows Bayonetta to perform a variety of spinning attacks that differ depending on the weapons being used. When used with a projectile weapon, Bullet Climax allows Bayonetta to fire the guns rapidly from either her hands or feet. When used in the air, using Bullet Climax will cause Bayonetta to rapidly twirl and send bullets out in all directions. When used with melee weapons, Bayonetta performs a powerful spin attack with the said weapon. Depending on the size of the weapon, the attack is either comprised of multiple spins with average attack power or a single spin with massive knockback that sends enemies flying.
|-|Summons=
*Infernal Demons: Infernal Demons are the supernatural inhabitants of Inferno that can be summoned by Umbra Witches as part of their role of maintaining the darkness. These demons bestow witches with great power and wisdom and are mainly used to fight and hunt down the angels. Bayonetta summons these demons by chanting a phrase to finish off the enemy for good, though if she reaches a high enough level of spiritual energy, such as that within Umbran Climax, she can summon demons as casually as with the snap of her fingers.
*Demon Slave: An ancient technique of Umbra that allows the user to directly control the actions of their summons through dancing.
**Flash Slave: A subskill of Demon Slave that causes an Infernal Demon to attack immediately after being summoned. 
**Wink Slave: A subskill of Demon Slave that summons an Infernal Demon at the end of a combo to deliver a devastating blow, similar to that of Infernal Weaves of the previous game.
**Assault Slave: A subskill of Demon Slave that allows Bayonetta to summon an Infernal Demon just before an enemy attacks to deliver a powerful counterattack. This only works on melee attacks. 
*Deadly Sin: Deadly Sin is a forbidden summoning ritual that requires Bayonetta ripping her own heart out, using her magic enriched blood to unlock a demon's unrestrained power, altering their form and increasing their capabilities astronomically.

Note: The events of Bayonetta 3 have established all of the protagonist Bayonettas to be different versions from separate timelines. However, the first two games are shown to be directly connected with one another through their events which set each other in motion, as well as direct references of Bayonetta 1 through both narration and recollections from Bayonetta herself. As a result it has been decided to keep Bayonetta 1 & 2 in the same profile, while having the Bayonetta of the third game in a separate profile due to no such direct connections being present. Please do not attempt to split up the profile of the original Bayonetta or combine it with Bayonetta 3's profile.
