Kwami Stuff (Main Seven, since that's what I have the most ideas for. Though if you ask nicely I can talk a lot about what happens to folks who wield the Bunny Miraculous.)

Kwamis are... interesting. Physical manifestations of concepts, they don't really work like humans. This also means they don't think like humans. This can be a dangerous thing to work with, if a person isn't careful.

This is a collection of short bits from each of the main seven Kwamis' perspectives. Hopefully, this should give you some idea of what they each are like.

Tikki

Tikki is the Ladybug, the Queen of Creation. She cannot change her nature, to create and imagine. She does not wish to. She cannot think of another thing she could be. She was never meant to be able to.

She is creation, and creation is her. She does not get to be separate. Sometimes, she wishes her wielders could understand, as she doesn't think they have a way to. Other times, she knows well that it would be too dangerous.

She loves them, the mortals, the humans. They partake in her being so freely. If she were anything else, she might wish to be them.

But she cannot wish for such a foolish thing. Tikki is creation, and creation is her.

Plagg

Where creation goes, destruction follows. That is the explanation given for Plagg's existence, along with the explanation given for his sister's.

Plagg is similar to his sister. He knows better than her just what the consequences of wishing for foolish things are, though. He has to clean up her messes.

He likes his new wielder, somewhat. The boy seems to light up at the idea of getting to disobey his father, even for a moment. He understands quite well. Though he is Destruction, he is also Chaos, a perfect mirror of his sister in every way. His sister likes rigidity, everyone following their planned path. He could not live like that. He knows his sister could not understand his wielder's desire for freedom. She is not meant to.

Perhaps, that is why he was chosen for this boy.

Trixx

Once, the humans called them the Prince of Illusions. They were wrong. Illusions are but one aspect of Trixx's being, and they are not a Prince.

Manipulation seems to be the best word the humans have for them now. They like the sound of that, especially once they learn once the word means. It encompasses far more than just paltry parlor tricks like illusions, encompasses much more of their being.

Still, the Guardians insist upon calling them the Prince of Illusions, and Trixx remains quiet. There is no convincing humans like these, too caught up in their traditions to listen to anyone.

Their wielder, though they hate the term, understands their problem. She has gone far too long with people trying to fit her into a box that has never fit her, and is ecstatic to discover just what the two of them are capable of achieving.

Perhaps this partnership will be beneficial, after all.

Wayzz

A guardian must be strong, no matter what they guard. This is what Wayzz has known for his entire existence. So why, then, has his miraculous been given to the most pathetic child he has ever seen? This child doesn't look like he can hold his own at all.

Still, the determination on his face tells Wayzz everything he needs to know.

A guardian must be strong, but what use is strength if there is nothing to guard?

Still. He hopes this child shapes up to be useful.

Nooroo

It is impossible for anything to survive without changing. Perhaps that's why Nooroo exists. He's never been one for hypotheticals and philosophical musings, though. He prefers to do things.

He hates this stasis he is trapped in. Waiting and waiting for a single thing to go the way his wielder wants it to go.

He knows that Gimmi doesn't like granting wishes. He also knows how many Gabriels have already made this wish.

Each different, but still the same. Each broken somehow.

He knows that this Gabriel is changing, though. He watches as his wielder lingers before closed doors he doesn't yet have the courage to open and smiles. Even that much change is enough to survive.

Duusu

Duusu doesn't remember much, not really. She knows what she is, and she knows that Nathalie cares for her, but she can't remember what happened before.

Duusu knows that Nathalie is changing. Becoming more like her. She wonders if being like her is what hurt the one before so badly. It's not a question she can linger on, though. It's hard to linger on much.

The damage to the "Miraculous" damaged her body as much as her mind, and she can see that same damage taking it's toll on Nathalie.

Nooroo tries to talk to her sometimes, and she knows the others do too, but she can barely remember who she is.

They say she is better than Nathalie, but she doesn't feel it.

Pollen (Name Pending)

It's important to know things, no matter what you are. Human, animal, kwami, it doesn't matter. Pollen doesn't care. Knowledge is knowledge, no matter what comes with it.

Her wielder is interesting. Certainly like her already, so willing to find and use knowledge to her advantage. She knows more than anyone realizes, and she knows very well how to convince someone to listen to her already.

Perhaps, with Pollen's guidance, her wielder can become much better at it. Perhaps, she can learn far more than she thought she could.

Miraculous Wielding Changes (On Characters)

(Read the first bit of this here [Desktop Blog View])

Marinette (Creation)

Marinette doesn't really notice it when her mind fills up with designs and ideas every moment. She was already so close to that, it's not a notable thing for her.

She does notice when her drawings get to be entirely identical to the ideas in her mind. She notices when it gets easier to create things without as much effort.

She knows, at that point, that there's no going back.

Adrien (Destruction)

Adrien doesn't mind the changes, not at first. It makes it easier for him to let out his anger the more he stops caring about the damage he does.

Destruction is not kind, though, and by the time he notices how far he's fallen, it's become clear that he is already unable to stop, his willingness to destroy gone too far.

Alya (Manipulation)

(This is more suited to the tone of the new series. That's the reason for the slight change. Manipulation is because it covers a lot more than just illusions.)

Alya has always had an easier time than most figuring out the truth from lies. She doesn't like it when people try to conceal the truth from her. It's almost surprising when it becomes so very easy to hide herself, to change her words and her face in order to get people to tell her things.

She almost loves it. It helps her feel more real sometimes, but it also makes her wonder.

What does it mean about her, that she's so good at lying? What does it say, that she can't seem to stop anymore?

Nino (Protection)

Nino has never been a fighter. He knows this. He's not one to get into a fight, he's not one to try to get in between two people in a fight.

It's a surprise to him, the first time he jumps in front of Alya when an akumatized villain goes after her. It's even more surprising when he does it again and again.

Chloe (Knowledge)

(did you know bees can count to four and have a concept of zero? Bees are smart! Let the bees be smart!)

Chloe likes knowing things. Secrets, problems, it doesn't matter. It gives her a way to protect her friends. It gives her a chance to protect her family.

It's easy enough to learn things about people. They don't hide it, not in her eyes. People talk, and people argue, and you can't escape the people.

It seems, at first, that the Bee is perfect for her. But still, she changes. She learns things she never would've wanted to know before. She learns how to perfectly distribute information she has to force people to listen to her.

She learns how to manipulate.

Gabriel (Transformation)

Gabriel doesn't recognize himself anymore. His face looks different when he sees it in the mirror, and it's become too easy to become a different person for a day or so.

He doesn't remember how he used to be, but he knows it wasn't this, and he can't help but wonder how Emilie would think of him.

It almost makes him wonder if this truly is worth it.

Nathalie (Emotion)

Nathalie has always been an empathetic person, willing to help others and always understanding of them.

Now, though, it's starting to take on a different meaning. She thinks there's something wrong with her, knowing what people are feeling all the time.

Maybe Gabriel was right. Maybe she shouldn't be using the peacock.

(Damaged miraculi have... interesting effects, if that explains things. More power seeps into the person. Makes you wonder what it would be like if a person used a miraculous for a very long time, doesn't it? Would they still even be able to be considered human?)

Miraculous Wielding Changes (Basics)

It's an ill-advised decision to wield a Miraculous for extended periods of time. After a while, it starts to change you. You aren't the person you once were.

You become more like the Kwami, in some ways. Become less human in others.

Intro

I am rewriting Miraculous Ladybug. I have never willingly watched Miraculous Ladybug. Why did I make these decisions?

Anyways, welcome to the tumblr I spontaneously decided to make for Stardust and Memories, my Miraculous Ladybug rewrite. There's some fun ideas I've had for this that I want to talk about before they come up in the actual fic, so that's what I'm using this for.

So far, there's a few chapters of the prequel, The Aftermath, up. The Aftermath is a proof-of-concept prequel focusing on Adrien and Gabriel for the year after Emilie's death.

It's focusing on the grief that Adrien and Gabriel feel during this period, as well as a deconstruction of Gabriel's motives for becoming a villain.

Once it's done, I'll move on to the actual main series, beginning with Origins.

(The reason I'm saying "Gabriel's motives for becoming a villain" is because I'm trying to workshop a far better name that Hawk Moth. That's it.)

No tag guide here. Hopefully, I'll get a proper blog set up so people can see stuff. Cause that would be nice.
