At the end of Bayonetta she rewrites her past. Jeanne doesn't seal her away for 500 years, giving her confidence in her powers and abilities, which is why she says "I'm not afraid anymore mommy."

The Left Eye would not be active unless she was without fear. Despite appearances during the plot of the first game, Bayonetta didn't know who she was or what the full extent of her abilities were. She had no home, no family, no friends. She was likely isolated and lonely, at least a little bit.

However by rewriting her past she never had amnesia, never backed down from her angelic enemies, and lives to use her full abilities to avenge her mother by crushing Balder and Jubileus. In Bayonetta 2 it would make a lot more sense that she's confident, carefree, and happy now that she knows who and what she is.
