History Characters / Bayonetta

* [[spoiler:EvilTwin]]: [[spoiler:Queen Sheba]] is basically this to Jubileus, although she is much, ''much'', '''much''' bigger. [[spoiler:Much more powerful too − she effortlessly ''punches God's soul from Pluto to the sun'']]. And if her file is to be believed, this is only a tiny portion of her real power. Good thing the enemy in the game is not Inferno, really.

[[folder:Others]]
!Luka (AKA Cheshire)
[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tnluka2_6425.jpg]]

The NonActionGuy of the game. A womanizing IntrepidReporter who accuses Bayonetta of killing his father. [[CrackPairing Ha ha, his girlfriend is a dog]].

* ActionSurvivor: How many times should he have died again?
** Perhaps most notable is that he manages to reach the top of Balder's skyscraper, despite Bayonetta needing her ability to walk on walls to get there, and is just fine after Balder throws him out the window.
* ButtMonkey: Comes with the territory of being a {{Muggle}} amongst the cast. He doesn't have it nearly as bad as Enzo though.
* TheCasanova
* ChivalrousPervert
* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath]]
* DistractedByTheSexy: He will often start conversations swearing he will destroy Bayonetta, then start ogling some particularly attractive body part of hers, lose his train of thought, segue into sexual innuendo, then remember he's supposed to not like her by the end of the conversation.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Cheshire. Quoth [[FutureBadass Cereza:]]
-->''"His name is Cheshire. He's cute, isn't he?"''
* FoeYay: Plenty between him and Bayonetta.
* FreudianExcuse: There is something odd about seeing a really hot woman kill your father, then spending the rest of your life chasing after her, but also flirting with her a ton and being a general HandsomeLech.
* GrapplingHookPistol: His only notable skill in the game is making flashy getaways.
* HandsomeLech: He's even known some Capcom characters along the way. Dovetails into ButtMonkey when you realize one is "[[{{Okami}} Ammy]]".
* HeyItsThatVoice: [[YuriLowenthal You]] should [[DotHackGU log off and check your email or something]], [[{{Persona 4}} Yosuke]].
* 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.
** One the other hand, he does have a considerable amount of knowledge on the supernatural, though it's not made clear how much of that he picked up on and what he got from his father.
* IntrepidReporter
* [[spoiler:LadykillerInLove: Implied during the ending.]]
* LovableSexManiac
* MoralityPet: Not the extent of Cereza, but Bayonetta does not like to see him seriously hurt.
* MotiveRant: Most of his dialogue. Subverted in that he can't seem to decide what his motive is himself, leading to the comical sight of him constantly switching motives, sometimes from one sentence to another.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: That's what happens when you don't have guns attached to your feet.
* PrecisionFStrike: "[[OhCrap Oh]], '''[[OhCrap fuck me]]'''!!"
* ReallyGetsAround: [[UrbanLegendLoveLife Or so he claims]].
* ScarfOfAsskicking: At least it would be if he wasn't OvershadowedByAwesome. It's still pretty distinctive.
* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist
* ThisIsSparta: "My. Name. Is. '''LUKA'''!"
* UnfazedEveryman: Definitely by the end.
* YouKilledMyFather: To Bayonetta. [[spoiler:It's actually Father Balder]].

!Enzo
[[quoteright:259:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/enzo_lo1_6223.png]]

Bayonetta's informant. He is the one that tells her of the other Eye of the World rumored to be in Vigrid, starting her quest.

* ButtMonkey: Even more so than Luka. He is the one found on the worst level rating.
* CoolCar: Enzo has a pretty sweet ride. [[RunningGag It gets trashed whenever Bayonetta starts fighting something]].

* ClusterFBomb: He drops more than everyone else in the game. Of course considering who he sounds like...
* MrExposition: A very forced one at the beginning of the game.
** Although justified, since someone (either Luka or the Ithavoll Group) had him bugged for the conversation.
* NiceHat
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He is a short gangster guy who sounds a lot like JoePesci.
* SirSwearsALot
* VanityLicensePlate: The plate on his car reads "ED N EDNA" - speculated to be the names of his kids.

[[folder:Demons]]
!Madama Butterfly
A demon taking the form of a woman who left this world under unfortunate circumstances, only to be reincarnated in hell. Unlike her beautiful, swallowtail butterfly-like appearance, this demon is particularly brutal, and her reputation is well known even amongst the denizens of Inferno.

* RedEyesTakeWarning

!Madama Styx
Queen of the River Styx, the boundary between humanity and Hades, Madama Styx is said to be a moth living within the human world. These insects, born from the magical power that flows from a woman's body, are charged with luring the souls of sinners into Inferno.

* RedEyesTakeWarning

!Gomorrah
A monstrous creature hailing from the demonic wood, Johnson Forest. Taking the form of a dragon, it is incredibly fierce, identifying all that moves as game and devouring it's prey. Territorial, it is most likely to be found alone.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent
* RedEyesTakeWarning

!Malphas
An enigmatic raven-black bird shrouded in the mysteries of the sky. Ever curious, Malphas has filled itself with all the world's knowledge and mysteries.
However, this same curiosity has led to a rather brutal demeanor, causing the bird to tear those it encounters to shreds with its sharp beak and razor-like talons.

* RavensAndCrows

!Hekatoncheir
A giant endowed with six fearsome arms capable of pulverizing mountains, those unfortunate enough to fall underfoot of the demon are subject to days-long violent earthquakes.

!Scolopendra
A vile centipede hailing from Frejentonta, a river of boiling blood in the depths of Inferno, rumors speak of it's body exceeding ten kilometers in length.
Moving unlike anything its size, its deftness allows it to wrap around and constrict its prey in the blink of an eye.

* {{Expy}}: of the Gigapede boss of Devil May Cry 3

!Phantasmaraneae
Phantasmaraneae nests upon a sea of magma, deep within the furthest reaches of Inferno. Rarely seen upon the face of the Earth, even sightings of the demon in hell are a seldom event, leading to its name, which means phantom spider.

* {{Expy}}: of the boss Phantom from the first Devil May Cry

!Little King Zero
King to the Little Devils, he is an unlockable playable character, unlocked when the Lost Chapter is completed.

!Little Devils
The Infernal Bad Boys, loyal to Little King Zero. Summoned by using the Infernal Communicator Bayonetta is able to temporarily contract the "Little Devils," calling upon their power to attack her foes.

!Queen Sheba
When the cosmos was split into light, darkness and chaos in between, the incredibly powerful Sheba was born alongside the darkness controlling the world of Inferno. As she lives in the hellish land, and is often classified as a demon; however, the full details of her existence are unknown.

* RedEyesTakeWarning

[[folder:Angels]]
!Rodin
[[quoteright:240:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1909222_2859.jpg]]

A ScaryBlackMan who serves as Bayonetta's shopkeeper with the Gates of Hell bar. [[spoiler:He's also apparently a fallen angel, cast out of Paradiso.]]

* {{Badass}}: He's such a ScaryBlackMan that the rulers of Paradiso are terrified of him. He IS the game's BonusBoss after all.
* BaldOfAwesome
* TheBlacksmith: Though not in the traditional sense of the word. Whenever you bring him LP's, he teleports into the bowels of Inferno and plays the angelic music recorded on the disc, summoning demons to him like moths to a flame. He then defeats the demons and uses their spiritual essence to forge new weapons for Bayonetta. The Laguna text claims that Rodin's skills as a smith were legendary even amongst the echelons of Heaven, and that he often crafted weapons which struck terror into the hearts of TheLegionsOfHell.
* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:You can buy an item that'll cost enough Halos to turn him back into Father Rodin.]]
* BossSubtitles: "The Infinite One: Father Rodin." Cue the player's OhCrap Reaction.

* FallenAngel
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes are sometimes seen [[RedEyesTakeWarning emitting a red glow]] from behind his sunglasses.
* HolyHalo: Seeing as how he is a fallen angel, it's only natural that he'd sport one of these when you return him to his true form. In a rather intimidating twist, the halo around his head is the same halo that Jubileus (i.e. God) herself wears.
* LightningBruiser: Especially when you have the Gaze of Despair equipped. Rodin has ridiculous amounts of health, insane damage output, unbelievable attack speed - all the criteria you'd tend to associate with the BonusBoss gets cranked UpToEleven here.
* LikeABadassOutOfHell: Walks in and out of Inferno on a regular basis. Seeing as how [[BloodIsTheNewBlack his body tends to be soaked in demon blood]] whenever he returns from one of his trips, it can be surmised that the results of these escapades are rather...messy.
* NintendoHard: He practically takes this trope to incredible levels, especially when you have the Gaze of Despair equipped when fighting him.
* PopCulturedBadass: He makes several references to other video games and makes a home run that would make even the most skilled of baseball players jealous.
* PowerGivesYouWings: Lots and lots of them.
* PowerFloats
* PowerGlows: Like all the other angels, Rodin is pimped out with a shiny, glowy halo in his true form.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Rodin's most frequently used technique involves pummeling you about half a dozen times in the space of a second. One of his grab techniques involves hitting you so many times in a single instant that the game doesn't even bother rendering them - all you get is a white screen and the sound of a savage beating.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld
* ScaryBlackMan
* {{Satan}}: Oddly, all of the character art for Rodin in the unlockable extras never uses that name, giving his name as "Mephisto", the name of a German folklore demon most prominently mentioned in the Faust legend and occasionally has been used as another name for the Devil himself. Appropriately, Rodin's role is broadly similar to the traditional devil: a fallen angel who is thwarted and punished from trying to conquer Heaven (and is feared by it) who rules his own "sub-basement" location after his punishment, and jokes about the "deals" he provides Bayonetta.


!The Four Cardinal Virtues
Fortitudo, Sapientia, Justitia, and Temperantia, are the embodiments of The Four Cardinal Virtues and serve as Paradiso's generals and effectual leaders in Jubileus's absence. Their main objective is to bring their beloved creator back at any cost, and aren't above making use of their nature bending powers to do so.

* AffablyEvil: Mostly evident with Fortitudo and Temperantia - the Cardinals were very kind and polite as they addressed the heroine, and even as they were dragged down to Inferno, they chose to spend their last breath giving Bayonetta one final blessing.
** Somewhat averted when you realize that when they say that, they are actually asking ''Jubileus to go easy on you!''
*** What, asking the BigBad not to be too vicious isn't affable?
* BilingualBonus: They speak in Enochian, the language of angels.
* ClimaxBoss: Not as much as Balder, but the fights against each of them is a chapter in and of itself.
* CoDragons: As mentioned above, the four acted as the generals of Jubileus' army in Paradiso.
* ColossusClimb: Although not played totally straight, Bayonetta must get onto Temperantia's body to attack the joints of his arms, and run along Justitia's tentacles to strike their roots.
* CombatTentacles: Justitia.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Fortitudo appears on the short introductory fight and in subsequent flashbacks before confronting Bayonetta in the actual game's present.
* ElementalPowers: [[PlayingWithFire Fire for Fortitudo]], [[BlowYouAway Wind for Temperantia]], [[DishingOutDirt Earth for Justitia]], and [[MakingASplash Water for Sapientia]].
** Also [[MagmaMan Magma for Fortitudo]], [[LightEmUp Light for Temperantia and Justitia]], [[PoisonousPerson Poison]] and [[GreenThumb Plants]] for Justitia and random [[HolyHandGrenade Holy Magic]] for Sapientia.
* FamousLastWords: "May Jubileus, The Creator, grace you!".
* LightIsNotGood: Being angels, they have holy halos and some light attacks.
* MotorMouth: Fortitudo. The cutscene prior to the actual BossBattle against him opens with him talking to himself about cryptic things and Bayonetta needing to draw his attention to her by shooting at him. Then she has to shoot him in the face to interrupt him again twice when he tries to go off on long involved rants about her before the boss battle can actually begin. While this would apply to all the Virtues as far as Bayonetta is concerned, he's definitely the worst of the lot in this regard.
** Although prior to the battle with Iustitia, it does not utter a single word, and only starts talking after its defeat.
* SevenHeavenlyVirtues: Oddly enough only four appear in the game. [[WildMassGuessing Maybe they're saving the other three for a sequel]]?
** Even weirder when you consider Sapientia is not a cardinal virtue and should be Prudentia instead.
** They're named after the four Catholic virtues.
* TokenEvilTeamMate: Justitia is described as "the virtue closest to Hell", due to the ambivalence of Justice. [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance His profile points out that he looks]] slightly less angelic and more EldritchAbomination-like than the other virtues due to this.
** Although ultimately it is only slightly more evil than the others, as they all want [[OmnicidalManiac the same thing.]]
* VideoGameHistoricalRevisionism: Sapientia's profile states that he parted the Red Sea as reward to Moses's faith.


!Jubileus
[[quoteright:302:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jubileus_The_Creator1_6560.jpg]]

A mysterious entity referenced countless times throughout the game, who never appears until the final part of the game.

* [[spoiler:BiggerBad]]
* [[spoiler: ClimaxBoss: A standout example in the history of HackAndSlash video games, and [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Holy Jesus HOW!]]]]
* DistaffCounterpart: Fanon says she is this to either [[DevilMayCry Mundus or The Savior]]
* [[spoiler: {{God}}: The most powerful angel of all and is referred to as The Creator by just about all the other bosses.]]
** [[spoiler: Her [[BossSubtitles Boss Subtitle]] is Dea, which is Latin for Goddess.]]
* [[spoiler:GodIsEvil]]
* [[spoiler:EvilTwin]]: [[spoiler:Queen Sheba]] is basically this to Jubileus, although she is much, ''much'', '''much''' bigger. [[spoiler:Much more powerful too − she effortlessly ''punches God's soul from Pluto to the sun'']]. And if her file is to be believed, this is only a tiny portion of her real power. Good thing the enemy in the game is not Inferno, really.
* LightIsNotGood: In this case it's more like ''Light Has Gone Completely Berserk Without Any Balance.''
* [[spoiler:RasputinianDeath: She has her powers [[CurbStompBattle beaten out of her several times]], [[SummonBiggerFish a Great Demon is summoned to punch her out]] and [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill her soul fries in the Sun.]] Do note that since [[MacGuffinGirl Bayonetta]] escaped her eyelids, Jubileus was at maybe 50% power at the time.]]

!Queen Sheba
When the cosmos was split into light, darkness and chaos in between, the incredibly powerful Sheba was born alongside the darkness controlling the world of Inferno. As she lives in the hellish land, and is often classified as a demon; however, the full details of her existence are unknown.

* MeaningfulName: Her name means "Cherry" or "Cerise" in Spanish.

** [[BiblicalMotifs Biblical]] / MythologicalMotifs: Lucifer (specially as the Yezidi edition, Melek Taus; particularly more ironic in the latter since SatanIsGood in that religion), [[NorseMythology Balder]] (both in name, powers and role as the LastOfHisKind), Enochian Angels (Babogel, Bornogo)

** SexyBack: Her outfit, which exposes her lovely sculpted back lines.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Around 600 years old.
** (To clarify: Her Date of Birth is December 19th, 1411, so right now, she's exactly 600 years old).

* CelebrityResemblance: More than one person has commented that she looks like Sarah Palin. It's the glasses.
** Furthermore, a number of Japanese fans have commented on her resemblance to singer-songwriter [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Aki Angela Aki]]. Once again, it's in the glasses. (And also probably that said musician is of mixed Japanese and Italian blood, the Western half arguably more prominent in her appearance.)

** BabyGotBack: Just look at the back cover of the game.

* HeroicSociopath: She takes a lot of delight in killing those angels.

* 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 at least a HeroicSociopath, are her casual sadism and that whenever she goes, collateral damage follows and [[WhatTheHellHero she doesn't seem to care too much about it]].

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

* BeyondTheImpossible: Pretty much '''''everything''''' about her. She goes through the whole game pulling one CrowningMomentOfAwesome after another.

* DistaffCounterpart: She is kinda similar to [[DevilMayCry Dante]] she has white hair and dressed in red [[spoiler:she even rescues Bayonetta and frees her from Jubileus just like on how Dante rescues Nero and frees him from The Savior]]

* InspectorZenigata
