A Matter of Loaf and Death[]
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'. However, she ate too many bakery products, gaining a lot of weight; thus, she was dropped from the commercials as she was too heavy to ride the balloon featured in the commercials. Famous for being the star of commercials for Bake-O-Lite slimming bread. Piella Bakewell now lives in a luxurious mansion with her pet poodle Fluffles, which houses many mementos of her former glory. No longer as slim as she was, she intended to eliminate the bakers to get her revenge and to complete a baker's dozen, 13.
She pretends to fall in love with twelve local bakers and really murders each of 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. She is the first ever female Wallace and Gromit villain, as well as the first female Wallace and Gromit character to die, as she is eaten alive by a crocodile off-screen. However, she is later shown as an angel/ghost flying in the sky on a hot air balloon, in her old, skinnier self.
It is unknown whether this was Wallace's imagination, a brief moment symbolizing her redemption, or a mere cinematic effect.
