- —Bayonetta
Bayonetta (born Cereza) is the main protagonist of the Bayonetta series. She appeared in the 58th episode and Season 3 Premiere of Death Battle, Dante VS Bayonetta, where she and Jeanne fought against Dante and Trish from the Devil May Cry series.
History
Cereza was born in Vigrid from the forbidden union of a Lumen Sage named Balder and an Umbran Witch named Rosa. The Witch was imprisoned and the Sage exiled from his clan, while Cereza's birth caused a rift between the formally peaceful clans and eventually led to them engaging in a war. She became a black sheep among the Umbran Witches, and during the war, a former childhood friend sealed her away from the world while wiping her memory to protect her from those who would exploit her. After awakening from her centuries-long hibernation, she went on in search of her forgotten past. Taking on the new name of "Bayonetta", she now evades the forces of both Heaven and Hell alike, all while kicking the asses of their ranks, proving that people should never mess with a witch.
