## Bio

### Appearance

Autumn has chest-length dark eggplant purple hair worn in a pair of pigtails and dark purple eyes. She has a short white shrug jacket with light purple polka dots over a light purple dress. She also has bubblegum pink heeled boots. Her Harmony Mark is a jelly donut sprinkled with white powdered sugar.

As Angel Jelly, her hair remains in the same style but grows to thigh-length and becomes lavender, secured with two white bows. Her eyes turn magenta. She wears a lavender dress with a skirt made up of three layers and a white chest bow with a dark pink donut gem. Her gloves are a slightly darker purple and are fingerless with hot pink donut-like cuffs. Over her dress is a light pink overskirt that splits in the front and has two hot pink donut markings on the sides. Her boots are mulberry purple with white going down the sides of them and hot pink soles. She has white angel wings on her back and her ChanMirror is in a carrying case on her waist.

### Personality

Autumn is a calm, collected, kind, and generous young girl who helps her parents in their boulangerie-patisserie (a French, or in this case Kalosian, store that sells both pastries/sweets and bread) in Lumiose City when not traveling. She is generous and empathetic to the point that she will often secretly steal items in the bakery for sale and give them to starving people, which causes her parents to lose money. Despite her kindness and normally calm demeanor, she has a strong sense of justice when somebody is harmed. She also has a bad habit of taking stuff without asking first and has a tendency to lie to get out of stuff.

### Relationships

* Alessandra Summers: Autumn's best friend she has known since childhood due to them both being born in Miare City. They get along very well and Hinoiri often frequents the boulangerie-pattisserie Autumn's parents run, with Autumn often baking orange macarons just for her.

### Etymology

* Her Japanese surname "Fujioka" means "wysteria hill" and is a common Japanese surname.
* Her Japanese given name "Aki" is a common Japanese given name with several meanings, but one of the most common meanings is "autumn."
* Her full Japanese name means "autumn wysteria hill." She was given a plain and common Japanese name instead of one relating to her powers and theme due to there being no names or surnames relating to donuts.
* Her English dub name Autumn is a direct translation of her Japanese name while the surname Baker is an occupational surname for someone who baked for a living, fitting her parents being bakers.
* Jelly is a sweet, sticky and sugary fruit preserve commonly used as a spread.

## Magical abilities

Angel Jelly posesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly.

Angel Jelly's powers revolve around pastries, jelly, and gelatin. She can create a huge mound of purple gelatin to absorb water-based attacks and fire globs or streams of purple jam to impede an enemy's movement. Jelly can control the consistency of her jelly or gelatin, being able to make it as solid as ice or as liquid as water. She can also fire jelly donuts at the enemy at high speed like a frisbee, but has also shown the ability to attack with dough, flour, and bread in general. Jelly also seems to have minor heat-based abilities as she has been shown turning a hunk of dough into a fully-baked baguette within seconds and then firing it at the enemy. She can also release a scent of either baked goods or fruit to distract the enemy. Aki also knows some basic, first-level spells that all Magic Warriors can use, such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes. Her magic aura is dark eggplant purple in color.

## History

### Pre-series

When Aki was 5 years old, she was helping her parents to bake some donuts in their bakery when she saw a starving homeless man outside digging in the trash looking for food, only to get attacked by a Trimmien who was also digging in the trash. She knew her parents didn't just give away pastries for free since they need to make money for a living, but at the same time felt sorry for him. Thus, when her mom and dad weren't looking, Aki stole a jelly donut from the display case and generously gave it to the man. He thanked her for her generosity and despite the fact she could have just asked instead of taking one, she felt proud of herself for doing the right thing. This awakened her magic, causing a whole box of surplus pastries to suddenly appear out of nowhere which she secretly gave out to several more homeless people, and caused her to earn her Harmony Mark: a jelly donut.

### Meeting Nanette and Becoming Angel Jelly

In SBALM012, Autumn is first seen being given a bag of pastries by her parents who see her and her Pokémon off before she goes to meet up with Alessandra and the other Kalosian heroes for the annual Lumiose City Fair.

## Angel Jelly

**"Sweet, happy, and delicious! The Angel of freshly baked pastries, Angel Jelly!"**

Angel Jelly is Aki's Angelix Warrior alias. In order to transform, she needs her ChanMirror, her Angel Jelly ChanCards, and the phrase "Kururin Mirror Change!" in the original Multiverse, or her Dream Palette, her Starlight Key, and the phrase "Miracle Harmony... Harmony Power, On!" in the reborn Multiverse.

## Trivia

* Aki's/Angel Jelly's powers are considered to be among the most bizzare powers posessed by a Magic Warrior, as her powers revolve around jelly, jelly donuts, and bread. According to Roxy, she is the Angelix Warrior/Harmony Warrior (in the reborn universe) of pastries.

* Autumn Porter often fights with Autumn Baker for sharing the same first name as her, which always leads Jim into trouble.
* Along with Ichika, Aoi, Himari, Ciel, Akira, and Yukari, along with several characters in SBALMNG and SBALMYL, Angel Jelly is one of the few characters whose powers revolve around food.
* In her concept design, Jelly's skirt was originally going to be round and more donut-shaped. It was also going to be a more magenta purple and had a fair amount of tan on it.
