Revision as of 18:40, 22 November 2019

Piella Bakewell is the main antagonist of A Matter of Loaf and Death and the former love interest of Wallace, as well as the owner of Fluffles. She was once a famous and attractive actress, starring in the Bake-O-Lite commercials; however, she is now a notorious murderer, known as 'The Serial Killer', who targets bakers. Wallace was her intended final victim, but she was ultimately outwitted by the inventor and his loyal dog Gromit. She is voiced by Sally Lindsay.

Biography

In her youth, Piella was very slim and beautiful, and made her name by starring in the commercials for Bake-O-Lite slimming bread, becoming known as 'The Bake-O-Lite Girl' who rode a balloon and always said, "I'm light as a feather, I'm the Bake-O-Lite Girl". Her fame gave her a fortune to live in a luxurious mansion with her dog, Fluffles, which houses many mementos of her former glory.

However, when Piella gained weight after eating too many bakery products and became too heavy to ride the Bake-O-Lite Balloon, she was fired. This made her snap and hate all bakers. She decided to eliminate all bakers in the vicinity to get her revenge and to complete a baker's dozen, 13.

She pretends to fall in love with bakers and murders them. She had attempted to kill Wallace, but Gromit and Fluffles foiled this attempt. She then tried to escape in the Bake-O-Lite balloon, but she was too heavy and got eaten alive by crocodiles.

Wallace then quoted "Farewell, my angel cake. You'll always be my Bake-O-Lite Girl", and a thinner Piella Bakewell is seen riding the Bake-O-Lite Balloon, ascending into the heavens. It is unknown whether this was Wallace's imagination, a brief moment symbolizing her redemption, or a mere cinematic effect.

At first Piella comes across as being a sweet-natured woman, but her true colours kick in as she is in fact, a cold, calculating and ruthless psychopath, obsessed with getting revenge.

She blames baked goods in general and bakers for her situation, is quite delusional and becomes increasingly unstable towards the end of her murder spree; she was so determined to kill Wallace, she was even prepared to detonate a bomb inside his house, which would likely have killed or injured many other people too.
