**Bayonetta** (real name **Cereza**) is the main and eponymous character of the Bayonetta series of video games.

## Background

Cereza was the bastard child of two warring clans, Rosa of the Umbran Witches and Balder of the Lumen Sages. It had been prophacized that a child would hold the Left Eye of the World, and if both eyes were combined, it would usher in destruction from the deity Jubileus. When the Lumen Sages found themselves successful in wiping out most of the Umbran Witch clan, a fellow witch Jeanne put her into a coma, sealing her at the bottom of a lake in a coffin for five hundred years. After being discovered, she began making business with Rodin, the owner of the Gates of Hell bar that also serves as her weapons dealer, together taking down the angels of Paradiso while recollecting memories of her past.

## Stats

**Attack Potency:** **Low Multiverse Level** (While having aid to fully defeat him, she was able to harm Aesir with her attacks, who at the time possessed both Eyes of the World, making him as powerful as Jubileus the Creator. Jubileus was a being capable of merging together Paradiso, Inferno, and Purgatorio into one. She had previously defeated Jubileus after forming Queen Sheba alongside Jeanne, though she has since been able to summon Sheba on her own. However, the Jubileus that Bayonetta fought did not possess both Eyes of the World, meaning that her true power was not on display in that fight.)

**Speed:** **Massively Faster Than Light** (Reacted to and dodged attacks from both Jubileus and a fully-powered Aesir.)

**Durability:** **Low Multiverse Level** (Can take attacks from a non fully-powered Jubileus and a fully-powered Aesir.)

**Hax:** **Time Manipulation** via Witch Time, **Body Manipulation**, **Soul Manipulation** via Shuraba, **Resistance** to Mind and Soul Manipulation, **Portal Manipulation**, **Body Manipulation**

**Intelligence:** **High** (Is gifted in using multiple different weapons, ranging from various types of firearms to melee-focused weapons like swords and hammers.)

**Stamina:** High (Can contend with equals in combat and against opponents that dwarf her in size for lengthy periods.)
