History Characters / Bayonetta

** TheTease

* HandsomeLech: He's even known some Capcom characters along the way. Dovetails into ButtMonkey when you realise one is "[[{{Okami}} Ammy]]".

* InformedAbility: Luka is supposed to be a renowned journalist who is tracking Bayonetta to expose her to the world, but all he seems to do is general ButtMonkey stuff.

* OneSceneWonder: He only appears at the very end of the game, but he steals the stage as soon as he makes his debut.

* ArthurDent: Definitely by the end.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Among the staff at Platinum Games; the concept artist stated in her blog that, other than she and Kojima himself, most of the staff prefers Jeanne over Bayonetta.

** [[{{ptitlebytjcbh4}} She's Got Legs]]

* MoralityPet: She is the first person we see Bayonetta be nice to. [[spoiler:Which means that the first person Bayonetta is nice to...is herself.]]

* LightIsNotGood: Not really, in this case its ''Light Has gone completely berserk without any balance.''

* PowerGlows: Like all the other angels, Rodin is pimped out with a shiney, glowy halo in his true form.

** On the other hand, she only kills one actual person in the entirity of the game. So...

* MsFanservice / FetishFuelStationAttendant: We think the sheer amount of {{Fanservice}} and FetishFuelTropes here give you an idea.

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: Jeanne is responsible for derailing Father Balder's plan, because he didn't count on her snapping out of her brainwashing and saving Bayonetta.]]

* TooCoolToLive: [[spoiler:Averted. Count how many times [[NoOneCouldHaveSurvivedThat she almost died in the game]] and she ''STILL'' pulls off an epic BigDamnHeroes moment.]]

* LightIsNotGood: Not really, in this case its ''Light Has gone completely berserk without any balance.''

** Also [[MagmaMan Magma for Fortitudo]], [[LightEmUp Light for Temperantia and Justitia]], [[PoisonPerson Poison]] and [[GreenThumb Plants]] for Justitia and random [[HolyHandGrenade Holy Magic]] for Sapientia.

* AnimeHair, GodivaHair, RapunzelHair, PrehensileHair, MagicHair: Yes, just her friggin' '''''hair''''' is BeyondTheImpossible!

* SexyBack

** Although prior to the battle with Iustitia, it does not utter a single word, and only starts talking after it's defeat.

* FashionFeathers: Not on her outfit, but rather, she has massive feather tassels hanging off of the ends of her two guns. [[WordOfGod The concept artist, Mari Shimazaki,]] put them there to accentuate her movements, much like Bayonetta's long hair. [[spoiler:They vanish inexplicably when she changes into her identical-to-Bayonetta's leather costume during their last battle.]]

* {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler: Why Jeanne is attacking Bayonetta. It wears off in the end.]]

** Or a dozen angels at the same time!

* AntiHero: Likely of [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type IV]]. On one side, she's generally nice and even shows a [[MamaBear very soft spot for kids]], on the other, she ''is'' a witch with infernal powers, although considering she saves the world, this might be just a case of DarkIsNotEvil. The real problems, which could label her as DesignatedHero, are her casual sadism and that whenever she goes, collateral damage follows and [[WhatTheHellHero she doesn't seem to care too much about it]].

** Although she can see them just fine without the glasses, she merely enchants them for Luka's sake.

* MemeticSexGoddess : If not considered one yet, she's well on her way to become one. Her creators surely wanted her to be.
