My guess is she is the daughter of Bayonetta and Luka.

Isn't she from different reality from where Bayonetta and Luka?

Did they say? As we know in the first game, time travel is definitely possible. Plus, why would she have a demon ally named Cheshire?

No, they haven't say anything. Just the fandom page wrote her as "Viola is an Umbra Witch in-training from another reality, paired with a demon named Cheshire." but of course it still could be mistaken though since it's input are from users.

We see what looks like the death of Bayonetta, but she is wearing her first game attire. So Viola could still be the daughter of Bayonetta and Lucas just not the daughter of the Bayonetta and Lucas from Bayonetta 3.

Hellena Taylor, the original English-speaking voice actor for Bayonetta, Calls for Boycott of Bayonetta 3



Quote
Hellena Taylor, the original English-speaking voice actor for Bayonetta, took to social media to share that she didn't reprise the role after being offered only $4,000 flat rate.
Taylor then spoke about Hale replacing her and saying that, while she wishes her all the best, "she has no right to say she is Bayonetta."

Should I be sympathetic? I mean wouldn't she accepted if she actually appreciated the role of Bayonetta's voice like most voice actors I know?

This is like a rich person complaining £4,000 is not rich enough and I could probably buy a fancy house and have enough left over to look after it with that kinda money.

I don't know but $4.000 is really low for VA as good as her.
(at least that's what fans said, I'd never know since I played both B1 & B2 with Japanese dub).
And we didn't know whose fault, Platinum Games or Nintendo.
Nintendo has a history of underpaying their VAs before.

I guess it is unfair to her if she is not getting properly paid for her services.
Just being $4,000, sounds like she's upset she can't afford to import her caviar from Russia and have to settle for local caviar like the common peasants.

It's okay to get upset and attack the publishers, but I still think it wasn't cool for her to attack Jen as the new VA too.
Jen gave a very professional response though.

A New Bayonetta 3 Report Features A Differing Account Of PlatinumGames VA Pay Offer



Quote
As reported by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, two sources — who requested to remain anonymous, though whose claims are supported by documentation seen by both Bloomberg and VGC — say that PlatinumGames was "determined" to have Taylor reprise the role, and wanted to secure Taylor for "at least five sessions, each paying $3,000 to $4,000 for four hours in the studio," putting the total payment for the role at a minimum of $15,000.
The report says "Taylor asked for a six-figure sum as well as residuals on the game," which Platinum dismissed before holding auditions for a replacement.
