Miraculous Ninja Bio #3: Alya Cesaire

Gonna push myself a bit more and go over more characters for this MLB/RC9GN crossover. This time, we’re talking about Alya. Don’t worry, I’ll get to the Norrisville crew eventually. Just need to go over the main Miraculous crew coming here...and the villains. If anyone’s interested from reading the biography, here’s the fic:

Miraculous Ninja: Tales of Heroes and Magic (MLB x RC9GN crossover)

Alright, let’s put this blog on blast.

Backstory: Alya’s life wasn’t extraordinary. She wasn’t born to a family of bakers nor was she brought into the world of luxury. She simply came from a family hailing from the French-controlled Caribbean island of Martinique. With her zooologist father, a culinary expert for a mother, along with her three sisters, Alya spent most of her life in her home province studying in a private school. She found herself running a lot of the technical side of the school system and by middle school, she was dabbling in online maintenance. She was also a frequent member of her school’s comic book club where they would discuss all kinds of superheroes. For the most part, it felt like life was going to be simple. That was until her mother managed to secure a job in one of the most prestigious hotels in Paris. Thus, her family relocated there as Alya now found herself in Collège Françoise Dupont. There, as a new student, she ended up meeting a lot of new people including a lonely girl by the name of Marinette. Seeing the sort of trouble Marinette was going through, Alya took it upon herself to be Marinette’s friend and help her through whatever life throws at her. Soon, however, Alya found herself in the midst of what could be described as a seemingly neverending battle of good and evil as Hawk Moth emerged from the shadows to cause chaos only for the heroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir, to come out and stomp that chaos into nothing. Feeling her two childhood hobbies unifying, Alya started up the Ladyblog and vowed to do what she can to document all the heroic acts of these two glorious saviors of her new home.

This would be one of Alya’s defaults as when she wasn’t focused on the blog, she was helping Marinette with anything that would come up. Babysitting, coming up with designs, trying to win over Adrien, homework, Adrien, parties, Adrien. In case you can’t tell, a good amount of their hangouts involve trying to figure out ways for Marinette to win Adrien’s heart. That said, these hangouts didn’t come with their own perks. Alya and Marinette both end up connecting to more of the people in College Dupont, even garnering their own circle of friends through this. Alya was even able to find her own love in Nino Lahiffe. It was clear that just as she was able to help Marinette open up and gain friends even when facing obstacles like Chloe, Marinette was helping Alya connect to her new home more and more. She even recently found the courage to sign up for a program that saw her connected to a pen-pal. A kind girl named Theresa who she would exchange letters with every now and then, mostly about the heroic exploits going on in Paris as well as some of the interesting stuff that occurs in Norrisville.

That said, this wasn’t without strife. She found herself being one of the earliest villains created by Hawk Moth’s Akumas during her quest to find out who Ladybug was. As Lady Wi-Fi, she ended up being one of the more difficult adversaries to fight and someone who would frequently return due to Hawk Moth finding her powers quite helpful. Even so, she was able to find some brilliance as when her younger sisters fell under the spell of an Akuma, she had a fateful encounter with Ladybug who entrusted her with the Fox Miraculous. Gaining a fast friend in the Kwami of Illusion, Trixx, Alya ended up with the identity of Rena Rouge. Even if it was technically a temporary gig, Alya relished her time as Rena and she found herself blessed time and time again as Ladybug would come to her for help multiple times. Still, no matter what, even with all the reports and vlogs she had done, Alya could never really figure the one thing that she felt like she needed to figure out and that was Ladybug’s identity. Even if she knew she couldn’t report on it due to the threat of Hawk Moth, she still wanted to know who was behind the mask, but it seemed like an unattainable thing...

...That was until through becoming part of a Akuma group and being saved that Alya would end up being hit with a massive secret from her friend, Marinette. That Marinette and Ladybug were one and the same. Through this, Alya was then entrusted with the secrets of the Miraculouses and thus became Marinette’s sole confidant in figuring out the truth for not only the Miraculouses, but also how to take down Hawk Moth. In fact, it was Alya’s own intuition that led to the creation of the Prosperity Charms which would ensure that a dangerous Akuma would never be created again. This ingenuity would actually be enough for Marinette to grant Alya full ownership of the Fox Miraculous. It was clear that the two were getting somewhere. With this one secret being learned, Alya could now focus on other things with Marinette.

Then came the news about Adrien’s move to Norrisville. Having heard this from Nino, Alya was hesitant at first, but ultimately decided to go for three reasons. 1) She didn’t want Nino to feel forced to stay behind if she didn’t go, 2) She wanted to make sure Marinette was doing okay since she knew the girl would follow Adrien to the edge of the Earth, and 3) That was where her penpal lived and with that in mind, why would she pass up the opportunity to meet up with a good friend? Thus, albeit with some unexpected guests, Alya found herself moving to Norrisville.

Appearance: With tan skin and hair styled into an ombre of brown and red, Alya is also distinguishable by her gold eyes and the mole on her forehead. Donning a pair of glasses, Alya would frequently be seen in a plaid shirt with a tank-top underneath along with some light-blue jeans and some white-and-black sneakers courtesy of Style Queen. She also wears a fanny pack for stuff like her phone and more importantly, Trixx. She’s also a bit taller than Marinette.

As Rena Rouge, her hair becomes a three-color ombre going from bright red to orange all the way to pure white at the tips as it’s all styled in a ponytail. On top of the bodysuit that most holders have, Rena dons a orange overcoat with white coattails on the back to mimic the tail of a fox. The Miraculous, normally a necklace, becomes a zipper to the suit and she gains some fox ears to go with the orange and white domino mask. Standing with her signature flute on her back and wearing tall black boots with fox prints on the bottom, Rena Rouge is certainly one of the more dapper looking heroes on Ladybug’s side.

Personality: It was clear that the comics that Alya grew up with instilled plenty of positive values in her. Namely those of loyalty and friendship, which shines through with her friendship with Marinette as well as all of the other students in College Dupont. As a relatively new student, Alya found herself being more than happy to reach out to as many people as she could. She found that one way she could reach people was through the reports on her blog where she would give updates on Ladybug’s exploits in hopes that her heroism would rub off onto others. She genuinely cherishes the people in her life, whether it’d be her family, Marinette, Nino, or just any of their friends. Comics taught her a lot of things and it’s clear that these positive values were just some of them.

That said, when you raise yourself on what you see on comics and TV, some things can get mixed up. Alya has a bad habit of trying to do things that seemed to be cool in comics, but don’t always translate well into reality. Her plans for Marinette to help her win Adrien’s heart tend to get rather cartoonish and when Marinette comes up with a plan that’s just as cartoonish, Alya always goes along with it. While that is proof of her loyalty, it’s also a sign that Alya doesn’t always know what’s right, hence why her hunt for Ladybug’s identity was questionable. Also, while she is very willing to reach out to others, she also finds it hard to forgive those who would actively cause harm, Chloe being one such example. Even so, when Alya realizes what she does is wrong, she’s quick to correct herself and does what she can to fix it.

Powers: At this point, it should be routine what a Miraculous does to someone. It improves their skills a lot and gives them a great amount of durability with its usage depending greatly on the user. In Rena’s case, she’s very much a planner and with her main ability, she had to figure out what works.

Mirage: Playing a tune on her flute, Rena is able to conjure up an Illusion that she could control through said flute. The Illusion can range from massive spectacles to merely impersonating individuals to fool others. Not only can she create visual illusions, but also auditory illusions.

Being predisposed to superheroes, Alya is quickly learning the ropes on how her powers work, but with a certain leak resulting from a certain bully, only time will tell if she’ll be able to keep it.

Current Events (SPOILERS FOR THE FANFIC TOWARDS THE END):

(IN CASE THIS NEEDS TO BE REPEATED, THIS IS GOING TO CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE EVENTS OF THE FANFIC! IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE, PLEASE READ THAT SO YOU DON’T END UP SPOILING YOURSELF. LINK’S AT THE TOP!)

At Norrisville High, Alya was able to meet up with Theresa as well as the owner of the school blog, Heidi Weinerman. Quickly getting some strong connections with them, Alya would do what she can to help them out. That said, it didn’t mean she would miss out on heroics as not only did Ladybug and Chat Nor come out to save the local hero, the Norrisville Ninja, from getting his head ripped off, but Shadow Moth would make himself known to the town. With these threats all around them, Alya would end up helping Marinette hide and warn her about incoming threats. Aside from that, she would hang out with Nino and even give him a save from some bullies as Rena Rouge.

This stay would not come without strife either, however, and her first real test would come in the form of having to save an Akumatized Theresa after Marinette basically tore the poor twirler a new one for a romance scheme gone awry. Upon finding out what Marinette had told Theresa as well as how badly it affected Theresa, Alya had to confront Marinette on this and basically tell her off for doing these things. Thankfully, Theresa was saved and through some more chewing out, Alya was able to help Marinette and Theresa reconcile these issues. That said, through Shadow Moth, Theresa ended up gaining the knowledge of Alya’s identity as Rena Rouge.

Her second test would come in the form of King Arthurpod. With Ladybug and Chat Noir having a hard time with the evolved insects created from this Akuma, she would end up teaming up with the Ninja in order to come up with a sneaky Mirage that would cause infighting amongst the humanoid insects and secure another victory for the heroes. For the most part, Alya had proven herself to be a great heroine and success was all there.

Unfortunately, there was a problem and that problem was named Heidi. Ever since Alya and her friends got here, Heidi had been pressing Alya for a way to get an interview with Adrien. While Alya didn’t want to say no, she couldn’t think of a way to make it happen. Unfortunately, as this gets pushed back more and more, Heidi would end up going behind Alya’s back to interview Marinette instead. This led to a chain of events that would mess up a lot.

Alya woke up to see a video from Heidi talking about Marinette’s crush. While initially skimming it, Alya discovered that this video was recorded by Heidi without any consent from Marinette and with how it was edited, she recognized it as a smear campaign of her friend. Needless to say, Alya was FURIOUS and dragged all of her friends to verbally eviscerate Heidi for what she had done to her friend. Unfortunately, it only got worse as Heidi became Newsflash and through extracting the memories of Theresa, she would end up exposing Alya as Rena Rouge to the whole school. This initially shook Alya up, but she ultimately decided to face Newsflash anyways and ultimately defeat her with one last Mirage. In the fallout, despite Heidi showing regret, Alya could not bring herself to forgive Heidi for what she done and ultimately refused to make amends. She had also resigned from her position as the holder of the Fox Miraculous and with how Marinette’s confession with Adrien panned out, it was clear that a lot of changes were ahead of her. Ahead of everyone, really. Even so, she’ll do what she can to make sure things would be okay.

Anime Update V3 10

From Me To You - Things are now taking their time, with random fluff and incidents such as Sawako, as her one good deed of the day, sheltering a hilariously ungrateful and angry puppy from the rain, and the dog later gets adopted by Kazehaya. Then there's the start of the new school term where seatings have to be changed via drawing numbers, with almost no one wanting to sit next to, behind, in front of, or across from Sawako. Kazehaya ends up going "fuck it, I'm going to take some initiative here!" and physically moves his table and seat next to Sawako's. Yano, Yoshida, and this guy named Ryuu also sit in that end of the classroom, so I guess this is our main cast. My main takeaway is how our two leads are sort of inversions of one another - Sawako is introverted yet easily lets her emotions show, while Kazehaya is extroverted yet is good at being hard to read.

Hunter x Hunter - The Hunters' assault on the royal palace finally begins and with a great big bang. Netero and Zeno did this huge, shiny strike from the sky and Netero let out a display of his full power that hits Neferpitou, who is miraculously able to survive this. Most of the episode was filled with narration and there's even a glimpse into Netero's backstory for how he attained the strength he has now.

SHUFFLE! - Well on one hand, I've warmed up to Primula enough to give a damn when it's revealed what she really is and the focus gets put on her falling ill and needing to be taken back to the demon world and possibly out of the main casts' lives forever. On the other hand, I'm not sure I welcome this sudden swerve into drama. I'm pretty sure I was expecting it at some point given similar works like CLANNAD, but I was enjoying the fun, breezy and laid-back feel the show had going, and now even the opening card, mid-episode eyecatches, and next episode previews aren't the same as they were before! I'm going to be hopeful that this goes somewhere to make this trade worth it and that the charm doesn't completely fade away.

The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II - Had a real locked room mystery this time, one set at an estate that holds a magical workshop in the midst of a storm and had to be covered in two episodes rather than one! To make the case stranger, the client has some special eyes that allow him to see and visually communicate with a human-sized fairy that seems to be haunting the place. I loved that Reines actually got to come along in person for this one, as we got to see some good reactive comedy from her and some precious interaction between her and Gray, showing she's got more range to her than simply an evil girlboss. Also got to meet Ms. Hishiri Adashino, who Waver can barely stand, and Kairi Shishigou, a burly, shades and jacket wearing, gun-toting necromacer. Gray is confirmed to have a connection to Saber as she becomes instrumental in the fight against these terrifying black dogs. I think the one part that was iffy for me is that it repeated the "the father is the posthumous mastermind!" twist from Episode 3, only this time there was no actual ghost in the works. But it did lead to us learning of Rail Zeppelin, an underworld group that sells mystic eyes, paving the way for an unfolding story arc.

KonoSuba - The OVA episode was all kinds of priceless, if not a little bit aggrivating at points due to the characters' stupidity. Got to meet Megumin's self-proclaimed rival Yunyun, though the relationship seems to actually be one of a bully and her victim who've become friends/rivals/secret lovers. Her presence at Wiz's shop leads to Kazuma putting on a cursed choker that will drain him of his life unless his heart's wish from when it was first put on is granted. Since Kazuma is the fucking worst, he milks this situation and gets the girls to do whatever he wants them to do, hoping they'll pleasure him enough for it to be considered wish fulfillment. It doesn't pan out, so he has to confess all his sins before he goes, and long story short, he does end up dying again but it's not the choker that does him in.

Symphogear XV - With the main Symphogear girls at the lunar ruins and Shem-Ha planning on using the Curse of Balal to activate Yggdrasil so that she can distort all life on Earth, repopulate it with her own monstrous spawn, and become a true goddess, the final season is at its climax. Tsubasa and Maria work together and put up a great fight against Noble Red, but are too late to stop Shem-Ha from activating Yggdrasil, which is forming towers all over the planet!

Eureka Seven - Aside from some character growth moments for Talho and Holland, and the reassertion of Gecko State's goal, not much happened here! Basically just prepping for the fight ahead.

Gintama - OK, calling this arc "Yakuza VS Aliens" is either the most misleading thing the series could've done or it's secretly genius. The first of the three episodes sees a freak alien parasite running amuck in Edo City and famed alien hunter Umibozu arriving to exterminate it, and in the process talk his daughter Kagura into returning with him to their homeworld. Yeah, he's Kagura's father and there's a more complicated history behind Kagura's clan and why Kagura wanted to break away from it to live a normal, fun life on Earth, Kagura gets more seriously angered than we've seen her get to this point and has a fight against her old man that's settled by Gintoki making a save and....telling Kagura she should leave Earth with her father. He just gives Kagura up and walks away. What in the blazing HELL, Gin?!?

Notes and Thoughts on An Idea for 2024: 52 stories in 52 weeks

Beginnings are always hard.

This is not news to anyone. This is clichéd, hallmark-card, stitched-on-cushion, hanging-on-frame corniness, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less true.

What makes it worse is that we’re all usually starting out with the heavy weight of our New Year's Resolutions hanging around our necks. This year I swore to myself I wouldn’t make any, but what I didn’t realize was that I had been putting into motion plans that all revolved around 1st January.

Once it’s January 1st, I’m going to write everyday.

Once it’s January 1st, I’m not going to skip writing even once.

So on and so forth.

You know how it goes. It’s always easier to plan for the next day, or the next week, or, in the blissful, peak-procrastination days of December, next year. January carries with it the possibility of this magical, new me who’s going to miraculously become less lazier. I’m going to stick to my goals and respect my resolutions and any daily task list will be easy to complete. And best of all, none of that is going to be hindered by my inherently lazy, dawdling self.

Of course, we don’t get up on January 1st as a changed person. It just doesn’t happen, unless you've had a particularly huge hit of some drug the rest of us could do with, because otherwise it’s the same old you, slothful and avoidant and telling yourself at the end of the night ‘I’ll definitely do it tomorrow’.

And we all know when that tomorrow is coming.

That’s been me when it comes to writing, which is funny because usually writing brings me so much joy. When I’m in the midst of it, it’s like I’m on a high, creating characters and motivations and convoluted backstories which I can then leave hints about and allow for connections to be made. One of the best parts of reading anything is finding out how something you noticed on the second page of the third chapter foreshadows a major event in the future, and when you’re the one writing the story, you get to control that! As the writer, I am in a state of bliss when I’m elbows deep in a scene, knowing what happened in the past and what’s going to happen in the future. The act of creation is a high sweeter than anything else, an absolute delight, a pleasure bar none.

It’s also something I avoid constantly.

This plan here — writing a story per week — is an attempt to remedy that. If I can force myself to write, force myself to think in a new genre and work with a word count, that still doesn’t fulfill my purpose of writing a full-length novel.

But it gets me somewhere.

Join me if you can. Let’s see how consistent we can be throughout the year. Let’s see how many characters we can come up with and genres we can struggle through.

At best, we’ll have the time of our lives. At worst, we’ll fail spectacularly.

But at least we tried.

Goodbye for today, and I’ll see you next week, with a new story, and some ideas on how bad it was, or how brilliant.

Keep on writing!

Anushah

below the cut is going to be an updated intro to sophie as i have just finished the book of howl’s moving castle and i’m deciding to mix the two canons together because whoooooo boy is my head so full over this book

here is their original intro for movie canon as well as most of their information !!!!

just a reminder before we go any further, sophie uses she/they pronouns !! thank u !!

the BIGGEST change that i’m making is that sophie is actually magical themselves. she has the power, most easily explained, as talking things to life. they are able to look at a hat, tell it that it will bring its owner great wealth, and whoever buys it miraculously marries someone of intense wealth or anything of the sort. she literally looked at her walking stick at one point and told it to beat up an enemy, but not harm anyone else they cared about, and she was like this close to saving the day with a fucking cane.

the other major thing is that, because of that magic, and the fact that they really are not very good at controlling it (since i will still be pulling her from the end of the book/movie), it is something they are still learning here. and it flares wildly whenever she gets angry. imagine someone just throwing knives around blindfolded having no idea the damage they could do. it’s very similar to that.

i’m going to be implementing more of their temper, as well as some of her rushed decision making. sophie is nothing if not impulsive, but in a way that she ALWAYS thinks that she’s being helpful, it just somehow never pans out that way. she blames it on the curse of being the eldest daughter. she thinks that her actions are going to save the day, but ends up needing to be the one getting help.

but, speaking of their magic, because of it, her curse was mostly self inflicted. the witch mostly just... enhanced it, but that part was easy to break off. once that was gone, sophie sort of hid behind being a ninety year old woman. it was easier than facing reality. and her feelings. i will still be holding a lot of my feelings towards how her curse was broken by herself from the movies of gaining that self confidence and seeing themselves as useful and just a strong person over someone everyone looks over. but it is very much a self inflicted curse based off of their inability to control their magic.

i will probably keep the relationships based in the movies since that’s where the common knowledge is for this fandom? and the book is so different when it comes to like who each of the characters are and all. but that being said if anyone has read the book and wants to bring any of those characters, uuuuhhhh do it pls

OH sophie’s hat shop will also be transformed into a flower shop. not so much selling arrangements, but more over a like, bulk shop for flowers? and some bouquets, but mostly like, you go in, there’s just buckets of flowers of different kinds for sale. she will probably keep a small section of hats and some of the tailoring business because it gives them something to do in the slow hours, and they do really love sewing. their clothes do something have a tendency to become enchanted if she talks to them too much. (and they are known to just run their mouth. like she will just go off rambling and talking and just enchants things without meaning to. they are Bad at magic ok thank u)

that’s really the major update????? sophie’s got magic now and she’s not afraid to use it. though she is notorious for making mistakes with it and lowkey using it to mess with howl, cause he knows how to make it stop. xoxo mrs. snoop.

any current connections will be kept i am just updating their backstory!!

#hw: intro #so. intro #so. muse #long post tw #this is so long #and for what #but i finished the book in like 3 days my head is so full

King really was the King of Artists, and Belos stole his job: a mostly-serious TOH theory

First of all, a disclaimer: a lot of this is speculation for the sake of having fun speculating, and might be reaching a little, but I do think there’s a real chance of being partially correct! Also, I’ll be dividing this post into subheadings to make it a little more manageable, because I got a little obsessed with being thorough and it got long.

Part 1: Can King use magic?

The cold open in YBOS describes: “The Boiling Isles, born from the flesh and bones of a fallen Titan. This original magic was so potent, all life on the Isles evolved to wield magic too.” Now, the use of “wield” implies a conscious use of magic for attack, defense, and general betterment of an individual’s wellbeing — as opposed to creatures whose existence was made possible by magic, but cannot wield or benefit from it. (It’s debatable if Abominations fit that definition, but they are a logical exception, being constructs rather than lifeforms that evolved naturally.)

The implication here? Demons, like King, should be able to harness the Titan’s magic just like witches can. We receive corroboration in Witches Before Wizards, where Adegast the puppeteer demon uses potent illusion magic, and in Agony of a Witch, where Kikimora states that witches and demons both used to practice wild magic up until 50 years ago.

But King, of all characters, is by all accounts magicless. There are recurring references to how powerless he is — most notably in Once Upon a Swap, when Eda in King’s body tries to cast a spell and fails. (Even Hooty has powers in the form of Getting Long, but King’s best bet at self-defense is looking cute and hoping to cross paths with someone benevolent.)

In The Intruder, King can’t see the Light glyph as the Titan’s favor reveals it to Luz. This is probably Luz having a unique ability to see glyphs in nature, not King having a unique inability to see them — but one way or another, King is not a beneficiary of the magic the Titan shares with its inhabitants, even with those who can’t cast spell circles naturally.

Or rather, I would propose that he isn’t a beneficiary anymore.

Conclusion: King is unusually devoid of magic. Something happened that sealed his potential away.

Part 2: Well, why can’t King do magic?

At the time of writing this post (May 2021), we know two important-ish elements of King’s backstory will be addressed in S2 — his broken horn and his collar, which were both promised explanations by Dana in the AMA. I’m going to focus on his broken horn, for now.

But to connect that dot to anything, I need to establish a crucial worldbuilding detail: when demons are injured, they can revert to a less mature and less powerful form.

How do we know this? We’ve seen a couple examples: in Witches Before Wizards, Adegast shrinks after taking a sword to the head, and in I Was a Teenage Abomination, the Trash Slug reverts to its younger form after King pours salt on it.

There’s also the curious case of the Snaggleback — there’s a taxidermied snout in Eda’s hallway that looks identical to the one in King’s book about demons, confirming the book is accurate after all.

This could mean the Snaggleback we met wasn’t fully grown, but just look at that Snaggleback’s cracked shell:

It’s a sign of another injury, just like what we saw happen to Adegast and the slug… and very reminiscent of King, with his damaged horn.

So what can these other demons tell us about King’s situation? Well, the Snaggleback had no idea about the species’ fearsome reputation and was surprised by the entry in King’s book, suggesting some kind of amnesia — aligning with King’s vague, inconsistent backstory.

There’s also Adegast, who had magic before transforming but shows no sign of it afterwards — if he could still use magic in that form, he could’ve tried to escape with an illusory distraction, for example. And miraculously, that tiny detail from a dead one-off antagonist could actually explain so much about King and what happened to him.

Conclusion: King had magic, but he lost it when he was badly hurt, and reverted to his current form — left with only hazy memories of the power and influence he used to wield.

Or, if you’re not sold on him changing form: it’s his collar keeping his magic (and memories) sealed, like a pseudo-coven binding.

Part 3: What was King like before?

Let’s compare King to a different leader we all know and love/hate/fear. You know who replaces King in the intro, burning up a tableau of three other characters to reveal themself?

You know who else wears a mask with two horns, evoking the Titan’s skull, like King does? Or who else has a gold, circular emblem on their chest like King does?

You know who has a tan color scheme with blue eyes, remarkably similar to what King looked like in concept art?

Belos is a Greek word meaning “lord” or “master” that Wikipedia describes as “a title rather than a genuine name,” meaning that going around referring to yourself as “Belos” is an awful lot like going around referring to yourself as “King.”

King claims, in Covention, that his followers used to leave him offerings in fear of him. Belos debuts in a scene where one of his followers presents him an offering of a palisman on a platter.

King uses teaching (especially in the early episodes, but as recently as The First Day) as an avenue to gain respect and subservience. Belos spread his “teachings” (literally referred to as such in YBOS) about magic and the Titan’s will to assert himself as a revered leader, and restrict the power of his subjects.

Allegedly, Belos speaks to the Titan, but the character we’ve really seen come closest to doing such a thing is Luz. She strikes up a dialogue not with words, but by carefully observing nature for glyphs, and experimenting with them to express herself — in other words, by exchanging works of art with the island.

And King doesn’t just claim to have been the King of Demons. He also claims to have been the King of Artists.

He draws all the time, clearly having a ton of fun with it, and even asks Luz for drawing advice in one of the Owl Pellets shorts. If there’s even a hint of truth to him being the former King of Artists, what would make more sense than him having spoken to the Titan, not just through innate magic but through recognizing and responding to the Titan’s messages in nature?

Conclusion: King was once what Belos now claims to be — the ruler of the Boiling Isles, and interpreter and executor of the Titan’s will.

Part 4: What happened between King, Belos, and the Titan?

This is the part where the timeline of events gets fuzzy (looking at you, Dana’s AMA response that King was “???” years old), but I still have some educated guesses.

King, and I say this with love, was not the greatest person at the start of the show. He was adorable and sympathetic and easy to forgive, but he had a habit of being cruel towards his students/servants (the Trash Slug in I Was a Teenage Abomination, the boot camp “recruits” in Adventures in the Elements, etc.) and just being selfish in general (ie, refusing to compromise with Luz on conflicting creative visions).

So, we can imagine why the Titan might cast King aside… or perhaps, be easily manipulated by someone like Belos into casting King aside, and try a new, “better” way of doing things.

Maybe Belos, with concealed ulterior motives, convinced the Titan to help him dethrone King, breaking his horn and forcing him back into a childlike state. Or maybe the Titan rebuked King without help, stripping him of his ability to see glyphs long before anyone dared to imagine forming covens, and the power vacuum remained in place for years before Belos seized the opportunity.

But King — no doubt with Luz’s help — redeeming himself, making amends with the Titan, and regaining the powers that made him the true King of Artists? That may just be one of the only things that can stop the Day of Unity, and put an end to the reign of Belos.

Part 5: Loose Ends and Alternate Possibilities

One detail that didn’t fit in here naturally is a book from Understanding Willow, with a title that translated from runes as “The Titan and His Spawn.” If King was descended from the Titan, that could explain both his importance to it and his resemblance to its skull.

I also want to give an alternative explanation for King’s lack of magic — he could just be really, really old, so old that he was born in the era when witches and demons only used glyphs because they’d yet to evolve spell circles. In this case, King’s role might’ve even been to facilitate the discovery of glyphs and teaching of wild magic, reinforcing his status as the most important person on the Isles.

And if King’s reign was, say, over a few thousand years ago, we’ve got a potential connection to the Bat Queen! She’s much too small to have been the Titan’s palisman, but would be perfectly sized for a giant, ancient, fully grown King.

Finally — on the off chance that King was a reincarnation of an ancient king, rather than a directly transformed one, then wouldn’t it be viscerally horrifying (in a very on-brand way for Dana and TOH) if the heart in Belos’s castle belonged to King’s original form? It’s a stretch, but Season 2 is confirmed to be so much darker that I feel like it’s not off the table, and that excites and terrifies me.

If you’ve made it this far, then thank you so much for reading! I’d love to know what you thought!

(I don’t think it’ll come up, but just in case, please don’t respond to this post with any spoilers for the Ep. 1-2 early releases! I’m trying to go in to those episodes unspoiled outside of trailers)

The Agreste Family (and friends) Rewritten

Below are my rewritten backstories for Gabriel, Nathalie, Félix, Adrien, and Kagami

Adrien Agreste:

CW: Vague Description of Loss of Limb and Death

Adrien Agreste was born on September 7th to his parents Gabriel and Emilie Agreste Being born into a rich family forced Adrien to live a life others planned for him, namely his job, his friends, and worst of all, his time spent being a normal child When he was young, his friends were his cousin Félix, a family friends daughter Chloé, and a business partners daughter Kagami as these were the only people who Gabriel thought Adrien should be friends with For his sake, he at the very least enjoyed hanging out with them and even met Sabrina through Chloé, and while they didn't talk often, she was one of Adrien's friends However, when he was 13, and his father forcing him to model for a few months at that point, Emilie decided that they shouldn't force their lives onto their son and snuck him out of the photoshoot one day Emilie took Adrien to a little run down and abandoned building she and her old friends used to hang out at when they were kids, but what she didn't account for was the age of the building adding to it's instability It collapsed with them inside Adrien came out with his life, but the loss of his right arm Emilie wasn't as lucky… Adrien slowly grew more rebellious as he healed and grew older, hating that due to his father's instance that he be just like him was ultimately the cause for his mother's death But Adrien didn't hate his father, he didn't actively disobey him, because he knew he was grieving but Adrien wished his father would just accept that there was no way to bring Emilie back to them

Gabriel Agreste:

Gabriel never expected his wife to die, let alone for his son to suffer in that same accident because of how he pushed Adrien to be the face before he was even 13 He spent years of his life hunting magical artifacts and he knew of two that could reshape reality from the stories in his travels, and now he needed them, no matter how long that took And luckily for him, it didn't take as long as he'd thought, as within 5 years he found two, granted they weren't what he needed, but now that he had these? Adrien would be given self-defense lessons to keep him safe…

Nathalie Sancoeur:

CW: Brief Mention of Murder

Nathalie was born on April 1st, how ironic given most of her life At a young age she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue, something that slowly worsened as she aged and pushed her body further than she should By the time her adventures with Gabriel and Emilie came to a close, she had pushed her body too fair, and while she slowly healed with time, her body is in a state of near permanent exhaustion She can go about her everyday life like she could before, but to go on an adventure again is a fairytale But then Gabriel asked for her help to retrieve magical jewels that could not only help her but bring back Emilie and, of course, she agreed She didn't think she'd kill someone to get a brooch…

Félix Fathom:

CW: Past Child Abuse/Neglect

Félix was born on March 26th to his parents Colt and Amelie Fathom and from that moment onward, his life was a living hell Even at a young age, Félix didn't understand how or why Colt would want a child if he treated Félix like he did, especially given Félix was treated more like a pet than a child Félix's entire childhood was filled with bruises, blood, and broken promises Colt Fathom, who had long before last the title of Félix's dad, died when he was 16 Félix had never been so glad that someone had died than the day his mother told him of Colt's death Because of Colt, Félix didn't have a proper childhood; he didn't have friends, he was forced to focus almost exclusively on school, and all the while Amelie sat by and didn't act Félix moved to Paris to attend Université and told his mother not to contact him unless dire and he never told his cousin or uncle, as they weren't any better to him in his life He met several people in school, Allegra, Claude, Allan, Luka, Socqueline, and perhaps in time, he'll one day call them his friends…

Kagami Tsurugi:

CW: Non-Graphic Violence, Mention of Loss of Eye

Kagami Tsurugi was born on September 1st to Tomoe Tsurugi and a man whom she never met Throughout Kagami's entire life, she lived in her mother's shadow, and all she ever wanted was to prove to her, just once, that she could be as good as her She constantly pushed herself, she pushed and pushed and pushed and then… She broke During a fencing competition, she, and her longtime friend Adrien, were in a fencing competition together and they were the final two She was distracted because she wanted to impress her mother but she knew that Adrien needed to impress his father, she was distracted because she wanted them to both get what they wanted, needed, she was distracted because of the pain… She lost her eye due to her being distracted, and when she was released from the hospital, Adrien apologized until he was out of breath but her mother? The one who was supposed to be concerned? "The Tsurugi's have a curse that make us go blind," Her mother had told her instead of comforting her, "Very few of our family has kept their vision and you are a lucky one to keep an eye." She cursed her family name from that day on

Note

I always felt the way Gabriel got the miraculouses (peacock and butterfly) was very… underwhelming, to certain extent

The idea of him hiring someone to find them and going on a epic quest is kinda good, but I also expected something more. What if Gabriel hired someone very dangerous like a kind of Evil organization which wanted to exploit the power of the miraculouses or at least a evil organization which only got the grasp of the miraculous after making a deal with the agreste since they promised a lot of money, and at the end they saw the great powers of the miraculous and said “maybe I want more for this deal”, Nathalie could still be the ones who helped find them like a retired member of said organization. Imagine if after Gabriel was defeated in like season 3, the leader of said organization appeared asking for the miraculouses since he’s deal with Gabriel was to get Akumas to make weapons with in exchange of keeping the secret of Gabriel having the miraculouses, and when the villain arrives he takes Gabriel’s place has the ‘big bad’ by changing the Akumas with Robots or something similar. It would connect with the past events, making it feel like the universe is more grounded and actions have consequences (I always love when details which could be look over like “how did this war between humans and monsters start?” Get fleshed out to explain a future threat like “oh it was the fault of this man which manipulated both sides so he could gain ultimate power”, but miraculous always takes this concepts like the ‘what destroyed the order of the guardians’ or ‘what broke the peacock’ and then proceeds to give the most simple and boring answer to return to the status quo)

But something so crucial has “the way Gabriel found the miraculouses” feels very unimportant, that adds nothing to Nathalie’s character, Heck it even makes her even less interesting to me.

I always saw this small parallel between Marinette and Nathalie (fell in love with this rich boy and did everything for them in blind love) and then it results the way Nathalie and Gabriel meet was when Gabriel was married and searching for magical jewels to impregnate he’s wife. Why Nathalie fell in love with Gabriel? I always thought they were childhood friends to parallel Adrien’s and Marinette’s relationship in earlier seasons, but current seasons make Nathalie slightly interesting and deep, but kinda take away what kinda made me interest even in the slightest on the character, specially when Gabriel became a Abusive father all of the sudden which turned their relationship also suddenly into the joker and Harley Quinn and just because she surpassed the Harley Quinn syndrome doesn’t mean she became more of a endearing character (mainly because she didn’t do much or actually tried to stop Gabriel outside of a couple scenes which didn’t actually add nothing to the plot), specially since the appeal to me was how Gabriel didn’t want Nathalie to risk herself, a lot of people say Gabriel was abusive but at first (before Gabriel became a psycho) Nathalie did brought herself a lot of pain when Gabriel openly asked her not to do that (heck, 70% of the time she was Mayura is because of her own choice against Gabriel’s wishes. Until suddenly Gabriel stopped acting like a character with deep who cared for her like showed before, and actually asked her to use it which completely contradicts heroes day part 2. So this ’abusive to Nathalie’ Gabriel was a mix of character assassination for both)

I just feel how Nathalie wasn’t handled well, and the way Gabriel got the miraculouses wasn’t very climatic or even interesting since we don’t even know very well how Gabriel even discovered the existence of this jewels

I don't really expect a big flashback episode, but if this backstory is something you're using to build the entire show's conflict on, I'd at least expect more than "Kid Fu broke the Peacock Miraculous, lost it and the Butterfly, and then they were found by Gabriel and Nathalie a long time later".

Then again, this is the same show that decided to put the scene showing why Gabriel decided to become Hawkmoth in the video game of all things. Believe me, when I get the time to cover that, I'll have a lot to say about that decision.

Drabble: Night’s Noir

An Adrien x Dick (Adrick?) life swap AU

It begins with Bruce who starts off as a hero seeking to revive his parents. Slowly he becomes villainous and tries to get the miraculous wish, the more people he comes to care for the more options he has for sacrifices.

Btw all the batboys are still adopted and have their backstories mostly the same

Bruce’s hero decay truly starts after Jason’s death

All of Gotham’s “villains” are akuma (Joker, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, ect)

Dick is ladybug ofc

I’m thinking maybe lone ladybug who uses circus costumes to disguise his other friends who are helping him (no chat noir)

Also I’m say that the miraculous isn’t the butterfly/moth miraculous but the bat miraculous

It functions the same as normal but the description changes slightly

It creates an echo chamber for bad thought that transforms the victim into its worst self

Bruce is the Villain Batman

Ok over to the Agreste’s

EMILLIE IS BATMAN welllllll she’s called Monarch (butterfly babe :p )

She ends up using the Lazarus pit

And Adrien and Gabriel discover her identity

They decide to help her

Adrien becomes her sidekick / partner

While Gabriel embraces his want to be a recluse and does computers, basically he becomes oracle

And Emilie still works as model and actress and everyone is just "no way she wouldn't have time" Her twin sister helps

Agender Felix who goes "well, there aren't rll girls in the family if there is a batgirl people won't think that hard"

Gabriel sighs and uses this as a chance to add more protection to felix’s torso (aka fake breasts)

How they meet

So Adrien and Mari meet like in canon

It’s always been Marinette’s dream to create a fashion empire in Paris

She wins a Wayne Enterprise competition and travels over there with Adrien (Emilie and Gabriel made him take a break)

#GoodAgresteParents

The vacation didn't last long, they thought Gotham was bad with Dark Cupid, Pixelator, Simon Says, Darkblade and others. But oh God Paris was so much worse

Mari is a Gotham Vigilante who has helped out the Agreste fam before, she specifically loved dealing with magic

Even if all odds are against her she takes pride in punching the magical bastard in their face

Adrien did not appreciate Marinette’s ego

Mari somehow gets targeted by an Akuma (the akumatised person is hunting her) and Adrien becomes ‘Black Cat’ (he knows the name isn’t creative, he was 13 and tired AF and panicked when the media cornered him)

He seeks out Paris’ heroes and helps them

Dick on instinct calls him ‘Chat Noir’, Adrien likes that

They manage to save Mari and De-evilise the akuma

Mari speaks her mind on the situation

She asks Dick why he doesn’t use the other miraculous, her logic is ‘if there’s one I’m sure there are others’.

He goes back to his ‘Master Fu’ (uhhhhh Alfred? Actually no Alfred will probably be the Natalie of this AU)

He finds out his ‘Master Fu’ is missing

He takes the miraculous box and hands out the miraculous to his trusted friends

He finds Mari and Adrien joking about on a rooftop

He admits to them he has been feeling numb lately and misses joking about like they do (the Wayne fam has a lot of unprocessed trauma and it’s become even worse when when akumations began to happen)

Fun fact: Bruce has weaponised his own children before, since they all have black hair, blueish eyes and roughly the same body shape they swap the miraculouses between them

Marinette leaves Adrien and Dick to talk

They begin to flirt

And Dick has never felt so safe

Adrien tells Dick about his vigilante family in Gotham and how they can help

They are connected to the Justice League but Dick refuses their help

He asks them to only monitor the situation and not participate

Adrien leaves saying “I’m fine having more stakeout dates with you.”

OR ORRR

“I’d be glad to continue observing that ass”

A group chat AU I thought of this will involve only the Miraculous Ladybug show, with very minor mentions of other shows. Some backstory information I feel are important. Marinette, Marc, and Mireille are cousins in this through their mothers; Sabine, Lian, and Mei. Marinette is Chinese, Italian, and French, Marc is Chinese and French, and Mireille is Chinese, Japanese, and French. This is not Adrinette, I decided to give Lukanette some love!

Diamonds

10:46 am

BlueDiamond: Do you think I could get away with it?

GreenDiamond:????

GreenDiamond: Mar? Get away with what?

BrownDiamond: Depends. Are you doing it by yourself, with us, or are you going to call Bāchan’s right hand?

GreenDiamond: Mir? Wait why would Mar call Fengge?

11:07 am

GreenDiamond: Hey! You two respond already!

BrownDiamond: Calm cousin, calm. Mar is contemplating taking care of Lila Rossi, you know the girl that threatened her in the bathroom.

GreenDiamond: Oh.

GreenDiamond: WAIT!!!1!

GreenDiamond: No fair! She can’t call Fengge I called dibs on ruining Rossi!

BrownDiamond: Mar gets the final decision, after all she is the one being targeted.

BlueDiamond: I am not calling Fengge, I don’t want her dead, I just want to ruin her future. Besides Fengge would call Nonna, and I’d rather not take the chance of us being pulled out of school.

BrownDiamond: Very true, but I doubt Bāchan would pull us out. Lila is only a minor threat and she knows we can definitely handle her. If the snake goes too far however, she will step in.

GreenDiamond: Tru…

BrownDiamond: Stop butchering words or else.

GreenDiamond: Common little cuz be traught.

*BrownDiamond took a Screenshot of chat*

BrownDiamond: I am showing my Kachann.

BlueDiamond: She did warn you.

GreenDiamond: D’: NooOo dont message auntie!!!1!!

BrownDiamond: Already sent.

GreenDiamond: You hate me.

Cheng Main Family

11:38 am

Tiàncái: First, return to your lessons. Second, Marc the penthouse at 4 exact. After reading those texts I’ve decided you need a two hour lesson.

BrownDiamond: Yes Kachann.

BlueDiamond: Sorry Auntie.

GreenDiamond:Understood Auntie.

TopChef: How bad was it?

Tiàncái: Worse than you fake butchering other languages to mess with others.

MamaOrso- My Marinette was not a part of it correct?

Tiàncái- No just our nephew sister.

Heiress- Why am I not surprised, at least he is only doing it with his cousins.

Matriarch- My Diamonds know that they are not allowed to butcher languages like their Great Uncle in front of others. I would not worry too much, my darlings. Now all of you return to work. I have a meeting to attend.

MamaOrso- Yes Māmā

Tiàncái- Understood, have a good meeting.

Heiress- I will see you later Māmā.

TopChef-Talk to you all later my girls.

Diamonds

1:13 pm

BlueDiamond: Juleka and Rose are sitting with me in the back now.

BrownDiamond: Oh?

BlueDiamond: Yes they came up and apologized to me during lunch. They both asked for a chance to earn my trust again.

GreenDiamond: And your decision Mar?

BlueDiamond: I am giving them a second chance, both apologized and explained why they didn’t choose sides. No information about Lila too, she is making big promises. For instance she told Kitty Section she’d introduce them to Jagged Stone.

BrownDiamond:...Isn’t Juleka Jagged’s daughter?

BlueDiamond: Yes.

BrownDiamond: Oh no.

BlueDiamond: What?

GreenDiamond: This is Miss Mendeleiev both of you return to your lessons and put your phones away.

1:28 pm

BrownDiamond: Nice job Marc, next time control your laughter.

BlueDiamond: Really?

2:49 pm

BlueDiamond: Mir go out for ice cream? We can go find André.

BrownDiamond: Well I don’t have to be in the studio today and was only planning to hang out with friends. Can we invite some others?

BlueDiamond: Oh definitely! I’ll ask Rose, Juleka, and Luka!

BrownDiamond: I am just going to invite Aurore and Jean.

BlueDiamond: Hoping to get complimentary cones cousin dearest?

BrownDiamond: Shut up I just like his face.

BlueDiamond: Don’t you lie to me. You have attended every single magical show he has done, and even promoted him once on MAC’s Twitter.

BrownDiamond: Shut up, your one to talk Mar. Who do you have a crush on, Model boy or Guitar boy?

3:10 pm

BrownDiamond: Mar?

BrownDiamond: Did I upset you?

BrownDiamond: Marinette?

BlueDiamond: Sorry

BlueDiamond: No you did not upset me. Lila pointed out I was texting and Bustier started lecturing me on being a good role model.

BrownDiamond: Sorry, my locker in five?

BlueDiamond: Mhm, see you soon.

GreenDiamond: I got my phone back!

GreenDiamond: Unfair! You guys can’t get ice cream while I’m stuck in lessons!

BlueDiamond: [Image.png]

GreenDiamond: Why’d you send me a picture of you and Mir looking around???

BrownDiamond: Trying to find the fucks we give…

GreenDiamond: ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽

BlueDiamond: Ew. Stop.

GreenDiamond:༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽

BlueDiamond: Ugh.

Private Messaging

Nathaniel and Marc

3:11 pm

LifePartner: Marc can we talk today? It’s about Marinette.

Rainbow: …

Rainbow: I have a two hour lesson starting at four. Meet me on the Pont Des Arts at 6:30.

LifePartner: I’ll be there Rainbow, see you later.

Diamonds

4:20 pm

BrownDiamond: Not.A.Word.

BlueDiamond: Burnt caramel for his eyes, and cotton candy for his unique tricks~ Blackberry for her beautiful hair, and black walnut for her unusual connections.

BrownDiamond: One, perhaps we should be concerned with what André seems to know about us.

BrownDiamond: Two, Blue moon for his hair and eyes, and super madness for his crazy life, Blackberry for her hair and cherry with chips for her secret.

BlueDiamond: Mmm André is a meta I wouldn’t worry his love is ice cream and bringing soulmates together.

BlueDiamond: Luka has confessed to me though, I told him I wasn’t ready.

BrownDiamond: Still stuck on Adrien?

BlueDiamond: No

BlueDiamond: I thought he’d take my side when he said that we were in it together. The moment he didn’t speak up when I was expelled pretty much made that crush, crash.

BlueDiamond: He is sweet but he has been too sheltered, he is trying to treat Lila like she is a tabloid.

BrownDiamond: You are not wrong. So...Luka?

BlueDiamond: Yea, I’m thinking Luka.

Private Messaging

Jagged and Luka

4:24 pm

Luka: Dad how did you get Penny to fall in love with you?

Jagged: I ask myself that every single day kiddo. Every single day.

Luka: I’m screwed.

Jagged: Marinette?

Luka: Marinette.

Jagged: Penny says to just be yourself! My rockstar Mari is a smart girl and her crush on the Agreste boy has slowly disappeared...yes it would be very rock an roll to have her as a daughter-in-law. That’s it Luka! You have to win Marinette’s heart over!

Luka: You’re not helping Dad.

Private Messaging

Penny and Luka

4:47 pm

Penny: Stop asking him Luka.

Penny: Just be yourself, Marinette would never want you to change yourself. Give her a little more time and just be there for her.

Luka: Thanks Penny, how did Dad win you over anyway?

Penny: ...I have a thing for loud sometimes idiotic men.

Luka: Awe, I am never telling him that.

Penny: I’m joking, I’m joking one night he rolled over and was just barely awake. He didn’t know I was awake, he whispered that I was the love of his life and that he wished his mom had a chance to meet me.

Luka: Awe. I’m telling Marinette that.

Penny: Oh, definitely would get you brownie points, she loves sweet love stories.

Adrinette

6:39 pm

Group name changed from Adrinette to Girls GC

Lila Rossi added by BossFox

BossFox changed Lila Rossi to TrueBeauty

BossFox: Hey girls I decided to make this the drama free girls group chat.

PurpleBean: Drama free???

PinkBean: Why not create a new group chat than Alya? Also if this is the girls group chat where is Marinette?

BunnxXx changed name to WhyAmIHere

BossFox: Like I said drama free girls

TrueBeauty: Awe Alya! You added me to a group chat where I don’t have to worry about upsetting Marinette!

TrueBeauty: That’s so sweet!!

WhyAmIHere: Alya this is our get Mari with Sunshine boy gc.

TrueBeauty: Alya you haven’t told them yet?

BossFox: Don’t worry Lila I just wanted you to be here when I did!

BossFox: Girls we are canceling Adrinette.

LoveBug: What? Why?

BossFox: I was telling Lila about all our attempts and how ‘in love’ with Adrien Marinette is. Well Lila pointed out that everything she is doing are red flags for a stalker!

LoveBug: What?! But Marinette would never!

PinkBean: Are you serious?

WhyAmIHere: Oh boy.

TureBeauty: No listen please, I’m not lying!

TrueBeauty: Alya told me everything she has done! She has his entire schedule, pictures of him all over her wall, one he doesn’t even know exist! She has stolen his phone before and is constantly trying to get alone time with him! Not to mention she has planned out their life with two kids and a hamster!

TureBeauty: She is stalking Adrien and convinced you guys to help her!

LoveBug: Oh my gosh

LoveBug: I can’t believe

LoveBuv: All this time Marinette has been

WhyAmIHere: Alright ya-no I’m so done.

WhyAmIHere: First of Marinette HAD a crush on Adrien. One that you blew out of proportion Alya.

BossFox: What?!

BossFox: I did not!

WhyAmIHere: You were constantly trying to force her into telling Adrien when she clearly wasn’t ready, and always dragging us into helping set up ‘dates’

WhyAmIHere: Two Marinette is a fashion designer. Have you seriously never noticed all the pictures are right above when she works on designs? They are a part of her fashion board Alya.

WhyAmIHere: Also the part with the phone, I’m hello? Marinette has always been like that, she does it when she’s half asleep most of the time. But in the end she always returns the person's phone before the end of the day!

WhyAmIHere: Also we have all seen those photos, if Marinette was seriously stalking him don’t you think the pictures would be inappropriate? They are either from magazines or from class outings.

LoveBug: Alix you have to admit it is a little weird that Marinette has gone this far

LoveBug: Lila is a model too and she knows so many famous people. I have no doubt she knows more about stalking than we do.

WhyAmIHere: srs.

TrueBeauty: Alix you have to listen to me! Marinette is sick and she needs help or else she’ll be a danger to Adrien and us!

WhyAmIHere: No. I’m done. Marinette is just a teenager with a CRUSH and you are just blowing it out of proportion.

Alix Kubdel has left Girls GC.

TrueBeauty: Rose Juleka you believe us right?

TrueBeauty: Please Mari really needs help!

PinkBean: No we don’t…

BossFox: WHAT!?

PurpleBean: We don’t believe you. Besides, Marinette barely has a crush on Adrien anymore. I’d ask if you’ve seen her room but she stopped inviting you up Alya.

PinkBean: And she doesn’t like Lila so Lila has never even seen her room.

BossFox: It isn’t like you guys would actually know anything! Just after school today Marinette threatened Lila to stay away from Adrien! And she got physical!

LoveBug: oh gosh! Lila are you okay?

TrueBeauty: Alya! I didn’t want anyone to know!

BossFox: But they need to know Lila especially since they keep siding with her!

PinkBean: Really?

PinkBean: When after school?

TrueBeauty: She attacked me around 4 today!

PurpleBean: oh rlly?

PinkBean: That doesn’t make sense though because Marinette was with us today at four. We left the school together.

TrueBeauty: This is what I was afraid of! Marinette has twisted you two into lying for her! See Alya this is why I didn’t want anyone to know!

BossFox: Don’t worry I’ll handle this girl.

Juleka Couffaine was removed by BossFox.

PinkBean: Alya?! Really?!

Rose Lavillant was removed by BossFox.

BossFox: Alright girls we have to help keep Adrien safe from his Stalker!

LoveBug: I’ll tell Ivan, I’m sure him and the other boys will be more than happy to help!

TrueBeauty: oh I don’t know what I would do without you girls!

Diamonds

8:15 pm

BlueDiamond: Alix just showed up at my house with Calendula Pink Surprise.

GreenDiamond: Oh? Tikki must be in love.

BlueDiamond: She is, hasn't left the plant since I placed it in my room. I’d send a picture but she obviously wouldn’t show up.

BrownDiamond: Pray tell cousin dearest why did she gift you with flowers?

GreenDiamond: Mir is having another Pride and Prejudice movie marathon…

BrownDiamond: It is a gift to the world!

BlueDiamond: Yes yes one of the best books out there we know.

BlueDiamond: She apologized for everything, also, she may know I’m Ladybug.

BrownDiamond: Well duh, Calendula? Ladybugs love those flowers.

BlueDiamond: She told me that she honestly just thought it was a little rivalry between Lila and me. That is until Alya made a group chat purposely excluding me.

GreenDiamond: Really?

BlueDiamond: Mhm, she said it would be their ‘drama free’ group chat. Not the beat part though.

BrownDiamond: Go on, I've got my movie paused.

BlueDiamond: Apparently I am stalking Adrien and they need to protect him from me.

GreenDiamond:...

BrownDiamond:...

BrownDiamond: My god Marc I can hear you from my room, breathe!

BlueDiamond: I thought the penthouse walls were soundproof?

BrownDiamond: They are.

GreenDiamond: cant breathe

BlueDiamond: I’ve done it.

BlueDiamond: I’ve killed our cousin.

BrownDiamond: Sometimes I wished you’d live here with us Mar.

BlueDiamond: I am thinking about it.

BlueDiamond: Mama and Papa have told me before I can, and it’ll be much easier to avoid Alya.

BrownDiamond: [Image.png]

BlueDiamond: oh my gods breathe

BlueDiamond: is that..

BlueDiamond: Is that Nathaniel’s hoodie?

BrownDiamond: he has rolled over and hid his face in his pillow.

BrownDiamond: Should I tickle the information out of him?

BlueDiamond: hmm permission granted

BrownDiamond: [Video]

BlueDiamond: Awe Marc!!

Miraculous Ninja Bio #5: Kagami Tsurugi

Just a couple more for the Miraculous gang and then the villains from Paris before we get to Norrisville. Of course, while it would be fun to go over the catalyst for some of the problems ongoing in the story, it might be better to save her for last. For now, we should give some focus to Kagami Tsurugi, who can easily be described as having a rocky history with the rest of the gang and beyond. She’s actually rather instrumental to the story and will only get more important as time goes on. If you want to see how that’s starting out, please read and follow this:

Miraculous Ninja: Tales of Heroes and Magic (MLB x RC9GN crossover)

Now then, let’s begin.

Backstory: Kagami, like Adrien, was more or less born into luxury. Unlike Adrien, however, Kagami still had a chance to live a normal life or at least, as normal as it could be for a rich girl. Born to Arata and Tomoe Tsurugi, she was more or less being trained into becoming a strong heiress for the Tsurugi name. At least by her mother. Her father was more focused on helping with the infrastructure of Tsurugi Motors, a rising automobile company that specialized in innovative functions added to cars to make driving easier. Of course, her father was intelligent when it came to a lot of technology while her mother was more focused on her career as a fencer in spite of her own impaired vision. Kagami grew up a mostly happy child. However, Arata wasn’t with the family for long and Kagami found herself being raised solely by her mother who was more obsessed than ever to make sure Kagami lived up to their family name. Everything about her life from her hobbies to her studies to even the friends she made were dictated by Tomoe. It made her feel inclined to follow what her mother said lest she’d be considered a failure. She wanted to draw and try a lot of the things her dad introduced her to, but her mother gave her a kendo stick and just made her train. Train to be a champion and train to be perfect.

This training would go on even as she and her mother transferred to Paris where she would transition to fencing, learning how to use the rapier in another form of swordplay. Not only that, but she was essentially forced to study vigorously for all of her academics, leaving her with a ton of book smarts, but almost no street smarts. On this seemingly rigid path, however, she met Adrien. The two were gifted among their class of fencers and this led to them going into a full freestyle match that ended in an uncertain finish with Adrien declared the winner. This frustration of defeat, compounded by her mother’s disappointment and refusal to give her another chance saw Kagami fall under Hawk Moth’s Akuma as Riposte. She was a vicious Akuma looking for challengers, but like most Akumas, she would be beaten by Ladybug and Chat Noir. In the aftermath, the two fencers managed to introduce themselves to each other and in spite of a rocky start, the two ended up being friends albeit with a rivalry on the back.

As time went on, that rivalry would fade as Kagami noticed Adrien’s own personal issues and she would find herself feeling something that her mother seemed to repress. She was always told personal connections are distractions, but she felt a need to help Adrien and be with him whenever possible. When Adrien told her he was struggling romantically with someone, Kagami suggested that he’d “switch targets”, clearly hinting that they should try to be together. Of course, this wasn’t so easily done as Adrien had his own ideas. Even so, the two were connected and Kagami was willing to wait. For a while, they were mostly friends, but it was clear that Adrien meant a lot to Kagami, who saw him as an equal that she felt a strong connection with. Even so, she found herself wanting to connect with everyone else as well, but she unfortunately still felt the shadow of her mother loom over her.

She was able to break free of that shadow as when her mother was Akumatized, she was given the powers to become the heroine of the Dragon Miraculous, Ryuko. With the powers of Wind, Water, and Lightning on her side, she was able to break free and prove her strength. Through this adversity, she was able to open up to more of the people in Paris. During a particularly tumultuous time, she even found herself starting a real relationship with Adrien. Unfortunately, Adrien had shown himself to be increasingly unreliable and very often reclusive about her feelings, which served to strain his bond with Kagami. These mounting frustrations combined with an Akumatization culminated into the two breaking things off. While Kagami did tell Marinette that there was no reason not to pursue Adrien, Kagami herself was still uncertain about what to feel and she distanced herself from everyone.

That was when the news about Adrien’s move came in and she ended up being invited there. While she initially refused, her thoughts changed when she was told that he was to move to Norrisville. Kagami ended up remembering that there was something there that belonged to the Tsurugi family and with her mother’s approval, she accepted Adrien’s invitation. It also helped that her father’s sister, Hotaru, was a resident in Norrisville and thus, this felt like a good opportunity to meet with family. In any case, they were off to Norrisville.

Appearance: With pale skin and freckles, Kagami had a somewhat sterner look compared to the rest of her friends. She also sported vermilion eyes and a bob haircut that was a brighter shade of blue than Marinette’s. She would typically be seen wearing a formal uniform consisting of a white blazer with black accents and her family’s insignia on the chest, a black shirt with a red tie, a red plaid skirt, and black leggings with red sneakers to cap off her usual attire.

As Ryuko, she donned a red suit with black and gold gloves and one boot of similar color. On her other leg was the pattern of a dragon’s tail spiraling up a red boot before circling around the symbol of her Miraculous on her chest. Her mask was red and black with her eyes becoming yellow with red pupils. The suit goes up to her neck right under her choker and with some red horns along with a long sword, Ryuko truly lives up to the concept of perfection.

Personality: Speaking of perfection, Kagami does what she can to carry herself with plenty of grace and elegance. Pride is something that she holds to herself, very rarely letting anyone get the better of her. She’s very studious and can be really helpful when it comes to technical ideas. She’s all about strategy and will do what she can to figure things out.

Unfortunately, while she is composed and filled with knowledge, she’s also incredibly shy and awkward, almost overcoming Adrien in that regard. The difference here however is that she tends to protect herself with a lot of snark which while fun, can make her seem rather callous. That said, she genuinely does care and only seems to hold grudges when people refuse to change their ways. Aside from that, she’s a very stern and proper young girl who would very much stand out in the chaotic town of Norrisville.

Powers: Kagami was already powerful even without the Miraculous and becoming one herself would only serve to boost these skills to higher heights. Unlike a lot of other holders, her powers are much more magical in nature, harnessing the elements in order to fight her opponents.

Earthly Serpentine: Through invoking a dragon of an element, Ryuko is able to transform into that element and unleash devastating attacks in this. Currently, she has access to wind, water, and lightning. As wind, she becomes a cloud that could unleash typhoons. As water, she becomes a deluge of water that could flood and wash over anything in its path. As lightning, she can jolt through obstacles as well as shock enemies.

There are likely other elements that Ryuko could access, but she needs to learn more about what to do and with her future becoming uncertain after the Miracle Queen debacle, only time will tell if she’ll be able to learn more.

Current Events (SPOILERS FOR THE FANFIC TOWARDS THE END):

(ONCE AGAIN, THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE FANFIC. WHILE NOT AS CONSEQUENTIAL, IT’S STILL WORTH READING. LINK TO THE FANFIC IS NEAR THE TOP!)

When arriving in Norrisville, Kagami had a somewhat interesting encounter with her family. The first people to greet her there was her cousin, Randy Cunningham. While the boy did his best to show off his Japanese, Kagami skipped the formalities and spoke to him and his friend, Howard, in English. Along them as well as her Aunt Hotaru and Uncle Joseph, Kagami found herself in Norrisville High. She would find herself acquainted with plenty of the oddities that goes on in the school, but she did find herself comfortable living with the Cunninghams who were very open to help her make herself at home. That said, Kagami still felt her mother’s spectre as she was reminded to try and find the object that her mother said belonged to the family: The Shroud of the Tengu AKA The Mask of the Ninja.

In spite of this goal, more often than not, Kagami found herself spending time with her friends and her new family. She would make Randy run with her to school, would talk with some of his friends, and generally just be a good student. She did hope to find some clues there, however, and was ready to train herself and Randy for that if necessary. In spite of that, she had some fun going through Little Norrisville with this family and even managed to support Marinette’s new business in this tourist trap.

Kagami eventually found herself in some trouble as she encountered Theresa and attempted to help only to give some rather callous advice that only served to worsen Theresa’s state of mind. By the time Kagami started to realize what she had said, many more misfortunes had caused Theresa to become Akumatized into Jeerleader with Kagami becoming her first victim as she was forced to do extreme push-ups and smashing her face to the ground. When Adrien tried to help her out of this, Kagami opted to warn him to hide. In spite of their strained relationship, Kagami still wanted to make sure he was safe.

Another instance of this was during a very dangerous trek through the cactus where Kagami would find herself driven to get to the end. At one point, Marinette and Randy were flung into parts unknown with their friends terrified of their fate. Kagami initially ignored this and believing that they were safe, tried to keep moving forward. When she attempted to tell Alya and Theresa to just keep going, she was chewed out for her callousness and it was made clear to Kagami that she couldn’t keep doing this. Eventually, she would save Randy and Marinette and in the end, was able to secure victory as being the first to finish the Cactus Maze. This would earn her full rights to a choice spot in the cafeteria where her friends were thankful to be allowed in.

She would find herself in another debacle as Marinette’s feelings were put on blast for the entire school to see thanks to Heidi and in the midst of all this, she could see Adrien deep in denial about this and even calling Heidi a liar concerning Marinette’s feelings. This only served to infuriate Kagami and ultimately forced to confront Adrien, telling him to stop trying to only find truths he’s comfortable and instead seeking out the actual truth no matter how horrible and uncomfortable it may be. She admitted that she was hurt by their break-up, but told him that he should seek out the truth for himself and decide not for the sake of others, but for himself. While this would ultimately result in Adrien getting a confession from Marinette only to reject it, Kagami found solace in the fact that he was honest and in spite of this rejection, still defended Marinette as a friend in the face of his controlling father. A part of her hoped that she could have that courage.

Onward! Battle Within the Heart!

I’m surprised I even managed to get this chapter done. Also, Xenoblade 3 is coming soon, which might invalidate some information, but oh well! The stories intertwine once again in the next few chapters, the endgame is underway!
