Bailey Fields (Shining Bonds)

**Bailey Fields** (Japanese: **四葉コウ** *Yotsuba Kou*) is a main character in *Shining Bonds a la Mode*. She is a Angelix Warrior who is a Plant/Light Elemental and her Element of Harmony is Magic. She is also the leader of the Angelix Warriors.

Bailey can transform into the Angelix Warrior of luck and life itself, Angel Clover, whose theme color is green. She is a Plant/Light elemental, but additionally gains the Time elemental in her Illex Clover powerup.

## Bio

### **Appearance**

Bailey has dark green hair tied into twin buns and dark green eyes. She wears an emerald green top with a light green skirt, and green fuzzy boots.

As Angel Clover, her hair becomes bright green and becomes a thigh-length braid while her eyes turn bright green as well. Her dress is light green with a dark green clover-shaped skirt, long white boots with green accents, gold clover earrings, pale green gloves, and various clover accents such as the one on her headband and the one on her front bow. She has white angel wings on her back and her ChanMirror is in a carrying case on her waist.

### **Personality**

Bailey is very cheerful and friendly, though this is often hidden due to her also having a very timid and shy personality. She can sometimes also give others unwanted assistance, which can lead to problems becoming worse. While being a great leader, Bailey can also sometimes feel unconfident and unsure of herself.

### **Relationships**

* Molly Lovelace: Molly is Bailey's best friend she has known since childhood. They usually get along very well, although they do sometimes argue, and once even threatened to break up their friendship over not agreeing over whether a batch of cookies should be heart-shaped or clover-shaped. They also sometimes bicker over petty things, but they do actually care about each other.
* Tea: Bailey's starter Pokémon, a Chikorita who refuses to evolve. He is her other best friend who usually rides on her shoulder, and enjoys playing with her, though he gets jealous easily when she pays attention to her other Pokémon.

## History

### **Pre-Series**

Before Bailey was born, her pregnant mother, Heidi, was talking a walk in Illex Forest on her way to her baby shower party. Suddenly, however, she noticed a Celebi lying on the ground who had been wounded by a poacher. She knew that it was the right thing to help it, but also didn't want to miss the party. Torn, she ultimately decided to help the Celebi even if it meant missing her baby shower. Using the items she had on hand, Heidi (aving a knowledge of herbs) treated the Celebi's wounds with some nearby spagnum moss to stop the bleeding and used some goldenrod growing nearby to prevent infection, as her only Pokémon with healing powers was at her home. She watched over it for hours until it got better, not stopping to rest or eat. After it got better, the Celebi thanked Heidi and as a parting gift, secretly blessed her unborn child with some of its powers before flying off.

### **Meeting Nanette and Becoming Angel Clover**

Bailey and Tea bump into Nanette and the Dream Pixies while the former is going to the herb shop to get some Oran oil and matcha powder for a batch of cookies she and Molly are making. The Dream Pixies detect her connection to the Element of Magic and detect the Plant and Light Elementals on her, successfully deducing that she is a Chosen One. They inform Nanette about this and Nanette tries to go talk to her, but Bailey runs off with Tea, frightened due to her shy nature.

At the herb shop, she gets the Oran Oil and the tea powder and goes on her way. However, suddenly she is cornered by Event Horizon, who tells her that "[she's] another Chosen One that has to be eliminated." Bailey is confused and has no idea what she is talking about. She creates a Nightmare from the Fire Element Spirit, and Nanette and the Dream Pixies are suddenly alerted to the situation. They run over, and Nanette transforms into Faith Idol, revealing her identity to the green-haired girl, much to her shock. Bailey is terrified of the flaming Nightmare, but she reluctantly says that she'll face her fears since she loves this world. After receiving her ChanMirror and ChanCards, she transforms into Angel Clover for the first time and manages to defeat the Nightmare with her attack Lucky Clover Splash. After the battle, Nanette is impressed with her sheer raw magical ability and offers her to travel with her so they can become better friends, which she accepts.

## Magical Abilities

Angel Clover has enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly. Due to her magic aura being derived from Celebi, Angel Clover is also one of the strongest and most powerful Angelix Warriors, and one of the most powerful Magic Warriors, in existence, being equal in power with other leads such as Bloom, Iris, Serena, Nanette, Miranda, and Nina.

Angel Clover has the power to form light into clover-shaped projectiles to attack or use for defense, and can use giant clover flowers to attack as well. She has power over other plants as well, as she can freely command them to grow, shrink, change shape to her liking, form them into vines for attacking, binding, or grabbing the enemy, or become weapons like a razor-sharp leaf for attacking an enemy with like a sword or making a gigantic rose plant grow extremely sharp thorns. She can even grant them sentience to allow them to attack on their own.

Obviously, due to Celebi's powers, Angel Clover posesses the power of life as well. Clover can use life energy as blinding green beams, rays, or blasts to attack with. She can, in emergencies, release a powerful healing wave similar to Celebi's Heal Bell that can instantly purify several Nightmares at once. However, it will cause her to de-transform and faint from exhaustion, so she does not use this ability very often. Even in her standard Angel Clover form, she is capable of bringing others back to life with her life-based powers and healing them (though she'll have to eat more food after doing this), being the only known Magic Warrior who can do this since the sudden disappearance of Glitter Starburst. Angel Clover can also sense the life force of living creatures. Her Illex Clover powerup, which only appears when she needs more power than she can usually access, allows her to use Celebi's full power, such as healing large stretches of damaged or polluted land and freely traveling through time.

## Spells

* **Fertile Dissolution**: This spell quickly dissolves a deceased living thing in order to release its nutrients and life energy back into the surrounding environment, but doesn't work on something that's still alive. She often uses this spell for gardening or composting, but she also used it on the deceased Goldeen in *The Circle of Life!* in order to break down their corpses and quickly add the nutrients from them to the stream.
* **Life Gauge**: When casted, this spell allows Bailey to tell if someone or something is about to die.
* **Miracle-Grow**: This spell was taught to her by the Celebi that her mother healed. Using it, she can make an entire tree sprout from a stump or cause seeds to start germinating instantly. However, since humans' magical abilities are more limited in their civilian forms, she can't just make an entirely new plant while untransformed - she has to start with an existing seed or stump first.

## Trivia

* When Bailey transforms into her Illex Clover powerup, she keeps her Plant and Light elementals, but additionally gains the Time elemental as well.
* Due to Celebi's magic, any soil walked on by Angel Clover in her transformed state will become especially fertile, and any plant life growing in it will be very lush and healthy.
