It's an important event in any Witch's life, and I'm sure it's a rite of passage to contract a demon. Otherwise, Bayonetta and Jeanne would be as weak as the Trainees, and they wouldn't have survived the war OR the witch hunts. This does bring up a bit of a plot hole though- if the Umbran Elder forbade Bayonetta from the path of the Dark Arts forever pretty much immediately after her birth, how was she able to form a pact with Madama Butterfly before the Witch Hunts? She clearly uses Wicked Weaves during her fight with Jeanne in the past... Jeanne was a rebel and taught Bayonetta the ways behind the Elders' backs, IIRC.
