Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon Story Plot
We all know who Bayonetta is: the sexy gun-toting Umbran Witch who strikes fear into the hearts of the Angels of Paradiso with help from the Demons of Inferno. But before all that, she was a girl named Cereza, born of the forbidden covenant between an Umbra Witch and a Lumen Sage. Her father was exiled, and her mother was imprisoned, leaving the girl an orphan in the care of the Umbran Witches. But they shunned Cereza, for she was the fruit of what they deemed a cursed union that would eventually bring about their end.
That’s the setup of Cereza and the Lost Demon, a story of a younger Bayonetta who grew up as a child that longed for her mother and lacked confidence in herself. At this point in her childhood, she has been training under the Umbran Witch Morgana, who always forbade her from going into the nearby Avalon Forest. But lately, Cereza has been having dreams of a boy who claims that deep inside the woods lies a power that would help her save her mother from imprisonment.
So despite her teacher’s repeated warnings, Cereza goes into the woods. She soon runs into the forest’s denizens: the Faeries, who were introduced in Bayonetta 3. Though she manages to summon a demon to defend herself with, she lacks the skill necessary to send it back to Inferno. So starts the journey of Cereza and the lost demon named Cheshire into Avalon Forest.
Unlike games in the mainline Bayonetta series, Cereza and the Lost Demon by PlatinumGames is an Action-Adventure where you take control of both Cereza and Cheshire. Cheshire attacks enemies, while Cereza binds them in place. But they also have to work together to solve puzzles throughout Avalon Forest. As you progress through the game, you unlock elemental powers for Cheshire that will allow you to enter new parts of Avalon. Where maybe, just maybe, you might finally find the power to rescue your mother…
Oh, and send Cheshire home, of course. You wouldn’t want your demon friend to stay on the surface forever, do you? Though, at least keep him around until you reach the heart of the forest. Yes…
