This had been sitting in my drafts for two years and I finally got around to finishing it.♥️

That's all the headcanons I have for now. Just some fun ideas to fill in the gaps of Viola's life and I may add more in the future.💜

(Although, I do wonder if Cheshire realized that Viola's mom was technically Cereza. Did he think she was the same Cereza he knew, or was she different enough that he knew she wasn't? We likely won't get an answer for that, but it's food for thought.)

It is stated that it's not certain WHY Cheshire stayed with Viola, but it's easy to assume that she may have reminded him of his Cereza.

Young Viola summoning a demon (yes that's my design for a slightly younger Viola). Drawn by me...mostly. (Can't pay me to draw the circle myself.🙃)

So Viola attempted to summon a demon (and she DID), but like Cereza, she failed to use her hair as a medium and so the demon (that we assume is the same one that Cereza summoned) went into her Cheshire charm.

[Meeting Cheshire]

Criminally, there's no official info about how Viola met Cheshire, but I believe it was likely similar to how Cereza met him in Origins, i.e. demon summoning gone wrong.

So they didn't tell Viola about her Umbran heritage and kept their own status as witches hidden from her until she was old enough to keep the secret. Although, I could imagine Bayo/Jeanne subtly teaching Viola things that would benefit her witch training later, such as the Enochian language.

Bayo and Jeanne contemplating.😆 Drawn by me.

I'm sure the last thing Bayo (or Jeanne) wanted was little Viola going around saying that her mummy/auntie is a WITCH (it'd be funny, but embarrassingly awkward for them.😅)

Therefore, Viola wouldn't have been raised in a secluded place surrounded by others practicing the dark arts. She would be interacting with the world and people much more, so it wouldn't have been wise to let her know of her Umbran heritage or the dark arts from a young age.

While not confirmed, we can take clues that Viola was mostly likely born in the 21st century, a point by which the entirety of the Umbra are (usually) extinct, with the obvious exceptions of Bayo and Jeanne.

We know that the Umbra were a close-knit society that stayed isolated from the rest of the world, and thus they were able to practice their dark arts without outside interference. This is the society Bayo and Jeanne were born in, but (likely) not Viola.

Here are some theories/headcanons of mine about Viola's upbringing (with sketches!)🧵

[Learning the dark arts]

Starting off, I imagine that Viola was not told about her Umbran heritage for the first half of her life, for several reasons.

(Like her accent IS American by default, but sometimes she's thinking of how her mom pronounces words and it just comes out of her mouth.😂)

#Bayonetta #Bayonetta3
Imagine Viola sometimes saying words with a British accent automatically like those accent slip videos.😆🇬🇧

I went to look at Luka's model to get a ref and was utterly flabbergasted by his ARM VEINS!😱😐🥵

My mom commissioned me to draw her favorite childhood character, Candy White from #CandyCandy! She gave a me a picture of her to reference and I drew it as close to the original as possible.😊🌸

So I just came to a curious realization; since prolonged exposure to loud gun sounds can cause hearing loss, I wonder if Umbras use some kind of spell or other thing to protect their hearing.🤔

I wanted to pick a bunch of Viola portraits (cuz yes I do have a BUNCH) but then I was like nah be DIFFERENT.😆

Bayoluka x “Don’t Walk Away” from Xanadu. I loved that scene when I watched the movie as a kid and I’ve always wanted to use it for a drawing with one of my favorite ships.💙✨
