Rosa was an immensely skilled and powerful Umbra Witch who was both the wife of Balder and beloved mother of Bayonetta. Imprisoned for defying her clan and breaching an ancient tenet from her union with Balder, she was one of the figures responsible for inadvertently triggering the Clan Wars.[1] Rosa first appears in Bayonetta during flashbacks and makes her full appearance in both the story and as a playable character in Bayonetta 2. A variant of her from within the multiverse also appears during the events of Bayonetta 3. She also appears in Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon where her daughter is searching for a way to rescue her from imprisonment.
