A mysterious Braixen who travels the wilderness, Autumn approached Malgam one day, hearing of his feats in a huge battle with human researchers. Aiming to acquire information about the surrounding area as well as the location of her infamous mother, she joins his forces only to wind up working for the Sanctuary.
Story
Past
Autumn has experience as a human's Pokemon. She was one of many Fennekin born of Ingrid and was pampered a good deal. Circumstances have brought her to the wilderness as a Braixen. She carries an everstone necklace given to her by her trainer. Keeping it close as a lucky charm, she has only not evolved into a Delphox because of it, unaware of its properties.
Finding Malgam
The Braixen's search for Malgam comes to an end when she finds him drinking from a nearby pond. Wishing to join his ranks, she is given a task by him to fetch him food in the form of a nearby Dratini in the water. She obeys and Malgam slurps up the Dratini like a noodle. Before they can speak further, however, Raphael ambushes them. With both working together, Autumn and Malgam subdue the Noivern by freezing him, running away to safety. Autumn introduces herself to the rest of Malgam's crew. When they wake up the next morning, they are surrounded by denizens of the Sanctuary and are brought into the haven.
Her Time in Sanctuary
Autumn is imprisoned with Malgam in a jail-like structure. The Eevee is furious at his missing necklace and demands to be let out, eventually ordering Autumn to destroy the gate locking them in. She refuses, however, considering Malgam a fraud due to his childish attitude and incapability as a leader. Eventually, Fleur arrives, sentencing them to work various tasks in the haven, but not before they meet with the leader himself. She takes both Autumn and Malgam to Iggy to speak to him.
While Malgam tells the sagely Delphox of his past and how he came to find the Sanctuary, Autumn remains silent until Iggy puts her on the spot. She does not reveal anything about herself, no stories or any extravagant tales compared to Malgam himself. Iggy then asks Autumn how they found their haven, to which she says they found it by accident, though she appears reserved in this answer. When they are dismissed, Iggy makes it clear they aren't prisoners, but of course Malgam did not wish to leave without his necklace, and Autumn had other plans as well, mainly locating the psychic signature of her long lost mother.
Working Away
The Braixen, like Malgam and the rest of his crew, worked long and hard in the Sanctuary. One day, Malgam presents an opportunity for a little mischief. The two go ahead to devour some berries from the orchard as they tend to it at the same time. Suddenly, Autumn is hit with a painful headache and has to be taken to Mei Li to recover.
A week later, Autumn would continue to work, enjoying her time in a form of civilization after what seemed like years. One night, she and Malgam conversated with each other in their cell, the Eevee venting out his frustrations on recent events, such as Bernard disappearing. Autumn asks him what he plans to do when his time in the haven is done, to which he replies he will take over the place himself. She shrugs this off as he asks her the same question. Autumn voices her willingness to stay longer, wishing to uncover what draws her to the place first and foremost. She confesses that he hear voices sometimes ever since she was taken in, and even remembers things she never knew.
Hunting for Bernard
She and Malgam hear a conversation between Fleur and Iggy outside, about how some denizens have gone missing and that a baneful howling has become more frequent. Malgam comes to the conclusion that this could be Bernard. He and Autumn agree to team up with Fleur to track him down in the dead of night while the moon is still visible. It's not long before they find out that Plume is also missing. Autumn takes the initiative and prepares for their trip, carrying a human-made sling. The trio set off, finding a site in the forest littered with various items, the trees and ground disturbed by giant claw marks. They come to the conclusion that the missing denizens were indeed attacked.
The frequent howling soon stops, and they hear a clap of what sounds like thunder in the distance. They go to the noise until they encounter a Midnight Lycanroc swallowing Plume whole. Malgam calls out the Lycanroc as Bernard and they fight the raving wolf Pokemon. Fleur manages to free Plume by kicking him in the gut, and they find that she is still alive, but badly injured. Autumn tends to the Quilava while Fleur and Malgam continue to fight Bernard. When the Lycanroc flees, Autumn experiences yet another one of her terrible headaches and is forced to stay behind with Malgam while Fleur chases after Bernard.
Malgam stays for a while but is let go by Autumn to help Fleur. Soon enough, Autumn recovers and finds a safe spot for Plume while she goes to join them once again. She arrives late as she finds a Lucario is now engaged in battle with Fleur and Malgam. Autumn scares off the Lucario with her fire moves but her headache returns with a vengeance. She says that she feels the signature again, her head pain worsening as she approaches it. She also reveals that the Lucario had traces of the signature on her.
Afterwards, she helps them return Bernard to the Sanctuary with her psychic powers. The trio beat and battered, they reunite with Plume, who is now lucid once more. She asks if the Lycanroc is truly Bernard and reveals that he told her some time ago that Bernard did in fact have a brother. They head back to the haven together.
They return to locate Iggy and report their findings. Fleur tells him that the Lucario that attacked them wanted to go after him. Iggy remains dodgy about the issue, which sets Malgam off, the Eevee pointing out they risked life and limb to subdue the Lycanroc. Iggy hotly retorts by pointing out Malgam's failings, which causes the Eevee to seethe with anger. Autumn tries to comfort him and they both leave the Delphox to Fleur. When Malgam is resting, the Braixen goes to eavesdrop on their conversation back at Iggy's temple. She learns of Iggy's murdering of the Witch's trainer, which set things in motion for their feud. Revolted and angry, she leaves the Sanctuary to go after Hildegard. She locates her the following night, threatening her with her flames as she forces the Lucario to tell her where her mother resides.
Reunion with Her Mother
With information from Hildegard, Autumn finally homes in on the location of mother, who apparently lives inside the depths of a mountain. Going into a cave mouth briming with a dark, disturbing smog, Autumn breaks through and emerges into a large opening decorated with a number of things and a bubbling cauldron in the center of it all. As she inspects the items, she is ambushed by the Witchfox, and finds herself clinging onto the edge of a deep hole on the side of the platform. She reaches out, begging her mother to help her as the familiar pounding headache takes hold of her again.
The Delphox towering over her rescues her, using a levitation spell to lift her back up and into her arms. Autumn finds comfort at last, embracing her mother. Before they can catch up, Malgam appears, and Ingrid seeks to use him for dinner, shoving him into the bubbling cauldron filled with glowing green liquid. Autumn asks her to let him go, saying that he is a friend. Malgam is released from the cauldron and realizes that this is in fact the Witchfox that the Sanctuary residents talked about, and that Autumn is her daughter. The witch, Ingrid, would lead Malgam and Autumn deeper into the cave for some food and refreshments.
While Autumn indulges Ingrid in her past life being a human's Pokemon, the Braixen segues into meeting Malgam and the Eevee cannot help but puff his chest out, explaining how he conquered his captors and then came across Sanctuary. This sets off Ingrid, causing her to believe the two were spies for the Sanctuary. She attacks them and Malgam manages to steal her wand. Autumn tries to appeal to Ingrid by revealing her knowledge of what happened to the Delphox's trainer, and how Iggy was at fault. The two explain how they were forced to work for him in Sanctuary.
Ingrid showers them with self-pity, a purple light glowing at the end of her wand as she tells them about how Iggy has tortured her for years. Autumn feels hypnotized by the Delphox's light...
Personality
Autumn is known to be a rough and tumble Braixen, the wilderness having hardened her. Her rather shaggy appearance tells tales about her struggles, and her ruffled ear hair has gotten long enough where she tied the two together in a bundle. She can be soft spoken but chatty when the situation calls for it, and she tends to respect those who work hard and have great confidence in themselves. Autumn likes to see herself as a team player despite being on her own in the wild for a while. She integrated well into the Sanctuary and is socially sound, turning out to be a good listener. She's also a bit of a go-getter, trying to take initiative where she can.
Forte/Skills
Autumn has trained her body hard in her time in the wild, opting for physical combat and only using magic to give herself a boost or as a desperate measure. She has adopted a sort of wrestling style of fighting, pinning her opponents and subduing them with throwing techniques. Her wilderness experience has given her a large edge in survival, her knowledge of the land and its resources vast.
When Autumn has to use her magic, she specializes in fire-type abilities, like a Braixen normally would. In addition to this, she mixes in a dash of psychic powers to better control her flames, bending them and modifying their trajectory however she wishes.
Trivia
- Autumn is a new addition to Kinetic Spirits, not having been present in the previous iteration.
