Characters
The titular character Bayonetta is a witch who uses handguns (a pair strapped to her ankles, and a pair in her hands), along with magical attacks she performs with her own hair, to dispatch her foes.
In addition to possessing four handguns, she has also been pictured with two shotguns affixed to her ankles, gripping a katana in both hands.

A male character (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal), who introduces himself as Luka was shown in the TGS 2008 trailer, though his role in the game is currently unknown.

Another character was also revealed at the end of the TGS trailer, this time another woman, believed to be another witch who was very briefly seen fighting against Bayonetta. Unlike Bayonetta, she has short blonde hair, and dresses in red, and like Bayonetta, she also wields a pair of handguns. Some sources such as Gamespot have reported that she does at some point, fight alongside Bayonetta as a computer controlled character. However, she will not be playable. Her name and role in the game as of yet remains unknown.
