"All right, let's dance baby."

- Bayonetta Bayonetta is the protagonist of the eponymous video game series by PlatinumGames that have been published by Sega and Nintendo. She appeared in the 58th episode and Season 3 premiere of DEATH BATTLE!, Dante VS Bayonetta, where she faced off against Dante from the Devil May Cry series.

History
Bayonetta was born in Vigrid from the forbidden union of a Lumen Sage called Father Balder and an Umbran Witch called Rosa: the Witch was imprisoned and the Sage exiled from his clan. Bayonetta's birth caused a rift between the formally peaceful clans and eventually led to them engaging in a war. Bayonetta became a black sheep among the Umbran Witches, and during the war, Jeanne, a former childhood friend and rival, seals her away from the world while wiping her memory to protect her from those who would exploit her. For the next five hundred years, she is sealed in a coffin at the bottom of a lake. She is later rescued, at Father Balder's instructions. She goes in search of her forgotten past, heading for her old home of Vigrid, and fighting the angelic forces of Paradiso on the way.
