First Sphere

The First Sphere is a group of angels encountered in both games, Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2. Members of this sphere are dangerous, high ranking angels. In terms of hierarchy, the First Sphere is below that of the Dea, Auditio, and the Sequi.

Characteristics
Joy a seraphim has no definite form, assuming any form which they wish, they seem to prefer their female form. They appear to act as doppelgangers to Umbra Witches, possessing many of their moves and abilities and because of this have an incredibly wide range of attacks and powers. Their weapons seem to be made of the same material as Golems and the various curtain-like walls scattered across Paradiso and Vigrid. While Glamor appears as a flying serpent-like dragon covered in gold decorations and jewels. It has a large upside-down face below the serpentine hood which it talks through and operates its entire body with, though the dragon head it possesses is mainly used to utter beastly roars and bite its foes. Glamor uses large golden wings to fly.

Glamor's most prominent feature is its extremely long body with multiple clawed legs like a centipede, with regular halos across its body. Its length is even far longer than the already long Inspired and almost appears as an angelic version of Scolopendra.

Inspired are angels with a snake-like with red skin, golden wings, and golden helmets. Resplendence takes on the appearance of a gigantic, angelic airship with golden metallic wings. Adorned with holy decoration and multiple faces, it is the largest angel amongst the forces of Paradiso, its face alone dwarfing even Sapientia.

Valiance appears as a celestial knight or samurai with a red muscular body armored in jewel-encrusted gold and ivory with a pair of shining golden wings. Valiance's most noticeable feature is headlessness. Instead, its face is built into the hilt of the gigantic sword it carries. It uses this face to speak and holds the sword upright when talking. Unusually for an angel, Valiance also appears to be completely mechanical under its outer skin, bearing a glowing blue power core in its abdomen and possessing what appears to be headlights for its true eyes. The only other angels that bear this feature are Valor and Sapientia. Much like Valiance, Valor resembles a knight-like figure, though this time covered in golden shiny armor with a cape attached to the shoulders. Its face is embedded in the sun shaped shield with a face on it, it carries much like how Valiance's was in its sword. The sword Valor wields is also entirely golden and has the ability to extend to ridiculously long lengths to slice the entire structure of the Bridge to pieces.
