Bayonetta

Cereza, better known as Bayonetta, is the titular main protagonist of series. She is the magical, hybrid daughter of Balder, a Lumen Sage, and Rosa, an Umbra Witch. 
Sealed away for 500 years after being stabbed in the heart by Jeanne, Bayonetta awakens in the 21st century with no memories other than the fact that she is a witch. As she attempts to investigate her past, she becomes a mercenary hunting the Angels of Paradiso and the business partner of a demonic arms dealer named Rodin. 
In most of her appearances, she is voiced by late in Japanese. In the English versions, she was voiced by in the first two games and by in the third, the latter of whom also voices Samus Aran in the Metroid Prime series. As Cereza, she is voiced by in Japanese and by Angeli Wall in English.
==Personality==
Bayonetta slightly is rude, snarky, loves to engage in combat, and has an affinity for guns. Bayonetta carries herself with an air of sophistication, always dressed in extravagant outfits and stylishly dancing even in the heat of battle. Likewise, Bayonetta is downright sadistic towards her enemies, frequently dispatching with medieval torture devices such as iron maidens, guillotines, and vices, all while smiling and relishing in their pain.
One of the most notable (and controversial) aspects of Bayonetta's character is her overt sexuality. Bayonetta's outfits, while stylish, are also highly revealing and provocative. On top of that, she frequently poses in a blatantly sexual manner, makes constant innuendos in her dialogue, and flirts with anyone and everyone around her, particularly Luka Redgrave and Rodin. However, this sexuality is not a negative trait, as it is primarily just an avenue for Bayonetta to physically express herself and exert her confidence; she's largely uninterested in actual relationships (save for Luka, who she develops genuine romantic feelings for) and seems to view flirting as a way to show affection to her friends.
However, beneath her sarcastic, flirtatious exterior lies a genuine heroine who wants to protect others. As early as the first game, Bayonetta shows signs of a conscience by saving her friend, Enzo, and even Luka (her enemy at the time) from Angel attacks for no self gain. She also decides to protect a little girl named Cereza out of genuine kindness (unaware that Cereza is a young version of herself), attempting to comfort the child when she's scared. As the series progresses, Bayonetta becomes more openly heroic, risking her life to save Jeanne in the second game and eventually sacrificing herself to stop Singularity in the third.
==Other Appearances==
===Samurai & Dragons===
Bayonetta appears in the SEGA All-Stars DLC Pack as a card that can be used to boost character stats.
===Anarchy Reigns===
Bayonetta appears as a playable character in DLC for this 2013 beat 'em up. Here, she retains most of her innate powers from her home series, including Witch Time.
===The Wonderful 101===
Bayonetta is a secret unlockable character in the 2013 action-adventure game , which was directed by Bayonetta's own creator, Hideki Kamiya. She can be unlocked by either obtaining Platinum ranks in every stage or by inputting a cheat code after beating the game.
This version of Bayonetta is primarily a gunner, using her Scarborough Fair guns. Her gun capacity increases with the number of combos she obtains.
===Super Smash Bros. series===
====Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Super Smash Bros. for Wii U====
Bayonetta makes her debut in the Super Smash Bros. series as the final DLC fighter in February 2016, after being voted for the roster via the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot.
Here, she retains most of her abilities from her home series, being an overwhelmingly powerful combo fighter able to use guns for long-distance attacks. Due to the kid-friendly nature of the series, some of Bayonetta's more provocative attacks and animations were altered and/or censored. She also received her own stage, the Umbra Clock Tower.
====Super Smash Bros. Ultimate====
Bayonetta returns as an unlockable fighter in the base game for Ultimate. Here, while her attacks are largely the same, she has been considerably nerfed in order to keep her on the same level as rest of the game's roster, although future updates would buff her attacks to make her more balanced.
