Scarlet Lady: Origins (Part 1)

Directory

That blasted girl! she thought. She had been the queen of this class of pathetic, poor peasants for years, and Dupain-Cheng, who was the worst of the lot, had somehow got a spine to replace the baguette she once had!

Baguette, ha! I kill myself.

Maybe that new girl, Cesar or whatever, had something to do with it, but she needed to make sure Dupain-Cheng got the message that no one got away with messing with Chloé Bourgeois, the Princess of Paris!

“I’ve got to get back at that upstart Marinette and Alya for talking back to me,” she muttered, and she looked towards the girl, who was distracted doing whatever homework she had missed, the clumsy idiot. And she also saw her bag - seriously, what a horrible thing, not even a Dior! - unattended to a side.

Struck by a brilliant idea, she carefully walked towards the bag and put her hand inside. Maybe she could find something she could use to put her down, back into her place. Her fingertips touched something wooden and polished, and when she grabbed it and pulled out, she saw that it was an eight-sided box that looked really old and expensive.

Hahahaha! This is probably an old family heirloom! she thought, crowing to herself with an evil smile. She’ll be totally freaked when she can’t find it! Perfect!

As she left back for her seat, Marinette remained completely oblivious to what just happened.

And would remain so for months.

----

Perhaps, if she had known what that act of thievery would bring her, Chloé Bourgeois might not have carried it out.

Perhaps.

But Chloé Bourgeois was never one to think on the long-term consequences of her actions.

----

Back home from that peasants’ building known as Collège Françoise Dupont, Chloé sat on her bed and picked the box she had purloined - not robbed, robbing is something those who are pathetic do! - and admired its colors.

“A pity that this was wasted in that family of boulangers,” she said. “Let’s see what kind of treasure I won. Hee hee!”

And she opened the box.

----

Within the box, the kwami known as Tikki had been waiting for this moment for quite some time. Master Fu had shown her how her future holder, Marinette, looked and acted like, and she knew it would be a wonderful partnership. With Nooroo and the Butterfly Miraculous in the hands of someone who would use it for evil, someone needed to act - and who better than the girl that showed strength of character and compassion in every act?

The box opened. This was her moment!

“Hello, Marinette!” she said, smiling. “Please, don’t be afraid, everything’s--!”

The light that usually covered this kind of thing vanished... and she saw that the person in front of her was clearly not Marinette. Blonde, long hair in a ponytail, rather than black and held in pigtails. Blue, cruel eyes instead of innocent blue. Features of Caucasian ascendancy instead of Chinese.

Conclusion: Master Fu had made a mistake.

“WHO ARE YOU?!” Tikki screamed, trying to make a sense of what had happened.

“THAT’S MY LINE!!!” the girl screamed even louder.

----

Elsewhere in Paris, a boy by the name of Adrien Agreste had discovered a similar box, containing a ring and the kwami known as Plagg. After the terrible day he had had, with his attempt to finally go to school thwarted by Nathalie and his bodyguard, he had listened to the cat-like creature and jumped into the chance to become something he had always wanted to be.

A Superhero.

“THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!”

----

He would regret those words soon enough.

----

Chloé couldn’t make heads or tails of what this little bug was telling her.

Going out there to fight some monster that had suddenly shown up?

"You’re the only one who can stop the Akuma!” the bug said.

As in, doing something sweaty?

“You use Lucky Charm to save the day?”

Helping other people? Her mere presence was enough to do that! She didn’t need to do like Majestia and waste her precious time in making people think they had any value beyond doing what she wanted.

“You have a partner?!”

And not even a way to claim the credit! No, she had to share it with some no-name peasant, and she couldn’t tell anyone she was the one that had saved their lives! No, she had to hide herself for whatever dumb, irrelevant reason the bug had mentioned, something about someone wanting to rob the earrings she had purloined from Dupain-Cheng.

But the bug was persistent. It kept pestering her until she agreed to it.

Well, maybe she could actually do something and bask in the love of the masses.

----

At the Dupain-Cheng’s house, Marinette thought she had earned a prize for finally telling Chloé off for being a jerk, so she had made herself some popcorn and gone to watch TV, where the usual programming had been replaced by a live newscast.

Un Super-Vilain Á Paris?

A giant creature, who for some reason the newscast had identified as Stoneheart, had shown up in the middle of the city, and was causing quite a lot of chaos.

“Stoneheart is moving toward the Montparnasse Tower!” Nadja Chamack reported, clearly shaken by the current events, as the titan punched a car and sent it flying several meters away.

“Sucks,” Marinette said, munching on her popcorn. Not like there was much she could do. If she were part of something like United Heroez, she would probably jump into action, but she was a civilian, so--

“The monster... seems to be unstoppable!”

And, as Stoneheart kept ambling towards its target, at the down left corner of the screen, Marinette saw something.

Or, rather, someone.

“ALYA!!! What are you doing?!”

----

How does Lois Lane always look so perfect when she does this?! Alya Césaire thought, panting as she pedaled behind Stoneheart. This could be the start of her journalist career!

----

“I’m starting to get the hang of this,” Adrien - no, Chat Noir, that was his superhero name - said, following the trail Stoneheart was leaving behind.

“aaaaaaaaAAAAAHHHHH!”

Pain.

Before he could react, someone had crashed on him, and now the two of them were tangled in some sort of thin rope and hanging upside down. And, as he recovered his sight, he was met with someone wearing a domino mask, similar to his, but red with black polka dots.

This had to be the partner Plagg had mentioned! Well, maybe he could break the ice and begin with a good joke.

“Well, nice of you to drop in!”

“Omigod, no.”

Seriously? Not even a smile?

Tough crowd.

The girl in red pulled on something, and the rope around them suddenly became untangled, causing them both to fall to the ground.

“Say, what’s your name, partner?”

“Why should I tell you?” she replied, with a tone that reminded him too much of his father talking down to someone else - usually him.

“I’m Chat Noir! Nice to meet you!” A loud noise reminded him that Stoneheart was still loose, and he swung back in action. “Come on! Stoneheart seems to be going for the Parc des Princes!”

“Stone-who?” he thinks he hears her say, but it might have just been his imagination. He didn’t pay it any mind.

It was time to be a hero!

----

Sabine Dupain-Cheng looked in shock as her darling daughter nearly crashed down the stairs and towards the door, a look of dread in her face.

“Marinette, where are you going? Lunch is almost over.”

“Out because my new best friend is INSANE!!!”

The bell clinked as Marinette opened the door, picked her bike and started to pedal westward.

“What’s going on here?” she wondered. Well, she would certainly learn about it later.

----

Chat Noir charged towards Stoneheart, his new staff - he could make it grow like Goku did, which was amazing - in hand, and attacked the creature, distracting it from the guy it was trying to attack.

BANG! the staff sounded as it hit Stoneheart’s head.

And then Stoneheart grew in size.

“Oh shit, he’s bigger!” he said, dodging an attack. “Where are you, partner?”

Looking around, he saw his partner standing at the top of the stadium.

“Ah, there!” Good, she could jump in and help him stop Stone- wait, was that a compact mirror?

She was preening in front of a mirror while he was here, risking his life?

“HEY!!!” he shouted, dodging another attack.

----

It looked like that mangy cat had everything well in hand, so she didn’t need to do anything at all! Whew! She could just stand here and let him do all the work, that was what peasants were for, after all.

“What are you waiting for, Super Red Bug?” a voice said from below, and Chloé Bourgeois turned to see the new girl down below, a cellphone in her hands.

“Ugh, you again.”

“The world is watching you!” Césaire said, gleaming and smiling.

“The world is watching...?”

Oh my god, this was perfect! She could jump in, easily put a stop to the monster and bang! Instantly famous! The adoration of all Paris was at hand!

She closed her new compact mirror and grinned.

----

Chat Noir was starting to feel that maaaaaaybe he was a bit over his head. Nothing he could do to Stoneheart could stop him, and it was a hard task to just keep dodging everything. And, of course, his partner refused to do anything.

Stoneheart had grabbed one of the goals with its gigantic left hand, and was clumsily attempting to swing it at him, but fortunately his years of fencing had given him the reflexes to avoid such a large object, and the suit was actually making him faster and stronger!

But then Stoneheart tossed the goal - and it was clear the target was not him, but a red-haired, dark-skinned girl that seemed to have followed them into the stadium.

Oh, no!! he thought, and he turned about to attempt to stop the large object from hitting the girl.

“ALYA!”

Before he could act, someone else, a girl with black bluish hair in a pair of cute pigtails, tackled the red-haired girl out of the way.

“You came!” the red-haired girl - Alya - said.

“Yeah, but why did you?!” the new girl replied.

Whew, crisis solved. Now, he had to find out how to stop Stoneheart, quickly, before it could cause further disruption.

“Cat boy!” the pigtailed girl said, and he felt her hand on his shoulder.

“It’s Chat Noir, actually!” he replied, turning to look at her - and wow, she was quite cute and blushing.

“He doesn’t open his fist!”

“Good note, thanks! Maybe you should be a hero!”

Anyone could be better than his "partner". Not that that was a high bar to surpass.

“Priorities!” the girl said.

----

Chloé could only see red. That blasted cat had said that Dupain-Cheng should be a hero? Ha! As if!

She jumped and kicked Stone-whatever in the head, sending it tumbling away as she turned to the cat and her classmate.

“WHAT DID YOU SAY?!” she shouted.

“Wow, wow, calm down! Maybe we need to use our powers to stop him? Cataclysm! My power destroys anything,” the cat said, his right hand covered in some sort of icky black thing.

“How barbaric. And useless. Like you.”

“Did I look cool?”

The cat thought he was cool? She wanted to laugh.

“Absolutely not.”

The cat grabbed the large net thing that had fallen nearby with his right hand, and suddenly the white on the stick became black, and in seconds the entire thing had disintegrated into dust.

She was sickened to have to admit it, but that trick left her hair standing.

“Jesus...”

“So, what about yours?” the cat challenged her.

You’re going to swallow those words, you mangy cat!

“Lucky Charm!” she declaimed. After a flash of pink, she felt something heavy in her hands, that seemed to be made of rubber and looked a lot like this unfashionable costume she was wearing. “Oh, ha ha, Tikki.”

“So, how useful is your power?” he taunted her, and she angrily threw the thing at him.

“Why not ask your other partner?!”

“You just don’t want to work,” he muttered. Well, of course she didn’t! Work was something someone as important as her shouldn’t be bothered with!

You’ll come crawling back to me once you see how useless Clumsinette is, she thought, grinning at the idea of her rival doing anything useful at all.

“Cat boy, run interference!”

“it’s Chat Noir!”

“Alya, the tap!”

“You got it!”

What.

----

Chat Noir followed the black-haired girl’s instructions. The moment he had given her the polka-dotted red wetsuit, she had immediately come up with a plan. It was a bit risky, particularly since he would have to let himself get captured, but something told him he could trust her.

His trust was rewarded. The girl had managed to trick Stoneheart into grabbing her and the wetsuit, dropping a purple rock from its closed right fist, and then Alya had opened the hose tap, filling the wetsuit to grow and forcing Stoneheart’s fist open. The girl had quickly jumped out, ran for the rock and stomped on it, letting out a black butterfly and a crumpled piece of paper.

And Stoneheart transformed back into a large boy that looked to be his age.

The girl picked up the note and ran for the large boy, shouting what he presumed was his name, as his ring began to beep.

“What’s the noise mean?”

“Dunno, I didn’t read the manual,” he said. Maybe he should have waited for Plagg to explain everything before transforming?

----

“Kim wrote it. He’s always making fun of me,” Ivan confessed to his classmate.

“Pa, don't worry about him. He cried when we saw The Little Mermaid when we were 10.”

He chuckled.

----

Chloé grabbed the rubber thing - now empty of water - and attempted to rip it, but it only stretched without giving in.

No one’s paying attention to me!

How could this be? She was Chloé Bourgeois! The Princess of Paris! Everyone’s eyes should be on her! All the boys should be in love with her! Everyone should worship her! But here they were, paying attention to a mangy cat and Bruel who got his dumb arse turned into a monster, instead of her!

Oh, wait. Tikki had said something about this, right? That she could fix stuff broken by the monsters with this Lucky Charm thing?

“Hey, reporter girl! Catch this! MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!”

The Lucky Charm transformed into a cloud of ladybugs that flew around everything Bruel had destroyed as Stone-whatever. In moments everything was back to its normal state - still below the quality she demanded of everything, of course.

“Whoa!!” Césaire said, and she rushed towards her, cellphone in hand. “Incredible! You can fix everything?! Hey, what do we call you, Wonderbug?!”

Now, that was closer to what she expected. Still not enough simpering, but closer.

“Well, obviously not that. Let’s see...”

----

Chat Noir was tired. Fighting Stoneheart had taken out a lot off him. And he realized that maybe the beeping was some kind of count down.

And then he heard his ‘partner’ proclaim to have saved the day ‘in spite of her clumsy partner’s inability to do anything right’.

“You... you didn’t do anything,” he muttered, astonished of her credit stealing. But then the beeping became more insistent and he left: he had to return home before someone noticed he wasn’t in his room.

Somehow, the beginning of being a hero had become nothing like he had thought it would be.

----

Fu sipped on his favorite tea, relaxing after a long day. Wayzz had reported that the negative energy of the Butterfly had vanished, which meant that young Marinette and young Adrien had managed to stop Stoneheart and captured the corrupted butterfly transforming him. Good. Ah, if only he were a few decades younger! He would have been able to go out there and guide the two young heroes in the matters of the Miraculous.

Wayzz clicked on the remote to turn on the TV and see if the news were mentioning anything about the attack.

“... our new hero, Scarlet Lady...”

He turned to look at the screen, only to notice something strange, because the girl wearing the Ladybug Miraculous didn’t resemble his Chosen wielder at all-

“... thanks to amateur footage by local student, Alya Césaire...”

-and then the screen showed Marinette and a red-haired girl he supposed was this Alya Césaire, smiling at the camera.

“Wait...” Wayzz said. The problem was clear: if Marinette was there in her civilian clothes, who was wearing the Ladybug Miraculous?

He barely noticed as his teacup crashed into the floor.

----

“So... her name is Scarlet Lady...”

Plagg was a bit disturbed by his bearer’s angry face. What in the holy name of Camembert had happened to leave him like he had gone a few rounds with trying to swallow some mushrooms?

“I’ll call her Scar for the scars she leaves on my life.”

Uh-oh.

----

Tikki enjoyed the cookies Chloé had offered her.

But she still wondered why she was here, instead of with Marinette.

And she remembered there was something she hadn’t explained.

“Did you catch the akuma?”

Chloé gave her what she supposed was what humans called the ‘deer-in-the-headlights’ look.

“Huh?”

Uh-oh.

----

This is totally random and out-of-the-blue, but with how much more genuinely God-awful Marinette’s life has gotten since the time you wrote it, have you ever thought of expanding your Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun-inspired fic into more than a one-shot? The one you wrote a little over three years back? The idea of Demon!Uncle Jagged and Familiar!Fang is both funny and awesome, and I seriously love how you handle your fix-it fics, with the Lament Series being my most recent favorite.

Thank you very much!

And I'm debating it? Maybe if I ever get back in the mood.

Admittedly the original plan for Marinette in the Demon World was for all of the Miraculous cast to be demons she meets there (except for Lila, who causes enough trouble as a human as it is).

With Fu being the Headmaster of the school. Tikki and Plagg as teachers with Plagg in Kalego's place of being turned into Marinette's familiar....only he enjoys it.

Plagg: (In lil kwami form) Oh no! I've been summoned! Looks like I can't go to work today. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tikki: Plagg!

Marinette: I'm so sorry!

Marinette meets the classmates and makes friends. Maybe eventually becomes the Demon Queen and rules the world with kindness and fashion!

Why is the Prodigious canonically more powerful than the Miraculouses? Like Nooroo full on says: "It is for good reason that the Prodigious was abandoned in favor of the Miraculous! It was secured in that cave because it is too powerful, too dangerous!" and I just... don't see it?

Like don't get me wrong, being able to transform into animals is an awesome power, but how is it more powerful and more dangerous than the Miraculouses? The Peacock alone can create animals to fight and many other beings, we've seen the Butterfly give the power of shapeshifting to one not even using a Miraculous, and the elemental powers one gets in dragon form is the same as the Dragon Miraculous. And all of this is not considering the many other powers the canon Miraculouses can do, and who knows what the other Miraculouses not seen in the show can do as well!

Then to actually use the Prodigious you have to possess the value each Renling has to even transform! With the Miraculouses anyone with any intent or any values can transform and use the powers by just knowing the right words, words they can order the kwami to tell them with no resistance! Kwamis are forced to the whims of their holders with just a few words, while the Prodigious gets a whole powerful guardian to protect it and deem who is worthy to wield it? Why don't the Miraculouses get that level of protection?

Then finally with the Miraculouses we have the Wish with Tikki and Plagg's Miraculouses. You're telling me the ability to completely destroy the universe and recreate it at one's own whims is less powerful than shapeshifting? That the shapeshifting powers are the ones that needed to be sealed away in the cave but literal universe-ending powers didn't?

I will forever be in love with the possible idea that everything that happens in Miraculous Ladybug is according to some grand plan the kwamis set up. Not in the sense of a world domination plot or some evil scheme--set up like a play.

Imagine if the whole gimmick of the lovesquare and of adrien secretly fighting his dad and all that identity drama was DIEGETIC. Imagine if it was all set up by the gods to be The Grandest Performance, all their time and effort behind the scenes forcing the Lovesquare to work done so that they could successfully orchestrate what they considered the Romance to End All Romances.

Imagine if everything Tikki and Plagg and every other kwami said and did was, if not outright a lie, intentional. Imagine if they knew every identity from the very beginning as if it was set in stone from the beginning of the universe, knew Hawkmoth's identity from the very start, and yet kept it secret from their holders because all of the damage that Hawkmoth would do to Ladybug and Chat and Paris as a whole was a necessary and even desired part of the "story".

They do not see their holders as people, they see them as puppets. Do not trust a single thing those demons tell you, for their deceit is what makes them gods.

Do you know just how fucking awesome that would be>??!?!?!?sdfhkgd

I love BugNoir's design, but part of me really wishes they had set the fight somewhere else. I guess it was always inevitable that they'd end up at Emelie's tomb, and that necessitated going through the Agreste Mansion (though, maybe inevitable is the wrong word. I also thought it'd be inevitable that Adrien was part of the final fight, and we all know how that turned out). But setting basically all of it in the foyer and the kitchen? It's visually boring. It's just white and a bit of black and grey, all lit super flatly. The only colour comes from the characters.

It doesn't help that it's all taking place during the day, when not even the color of the sunlight can add anything. The show has gotten a lot of great use out of golden hour, twilight and night. Look at the end of season 4 for a good example: We start during the day, we get dramatic action evening sky, and we end in the twilight. The Ladynoir hug there was going to be good no matter what, but the lighting made it even better.

No such thing in this finale, though, it's day and it stays day for the entire two-parter.

Compared to how incredibly pretty Representation was lit, this is a bit of a letdown. The show can look so incredibly gorgeous at times, but somehow the finale wasn't the episode that got that.

Yes, the finale was complex because it had so many characters and sets, including bringing back New York and Shanghai and big Tikki and Plagg, and that certainly meant more people-hours and thus more money spent there that couldn't go into lighting.

And to be fair, the action we got was awesome. The Marinette-vs-Gabriel fight was absolutely amazing. That was money well spent. I just feel like it could have been even better with a different background.

Still: I believe Bug Noir deserved better lighting. And Adrien there, for moral support.

I am the only one who think the other Miraculous characters are just….boring or plain?

Is like, they don’t do that much in the series, if they do, is not really good or is just plain

The classmates for example

They don’t do to much in the series, the only thing they do right now is just be Adrinette shippers and only that

It’s not that is just one of them been akumatized or just appear as superhero’s

Speaking of superhero’s

They are just so bland, forget about the fact is some of them have a cool suit, they’re just boring

Even in their debuts doesn’t feel any special, is only “look this character! Is gonna be a new superhero! Aren’t you exited!?” I would if they were more interesting, but guess what?, they’re not

When they appeared I was just like “oh right, those guys exist, for what?”

Look Juleka, it was cool when she transform and her suit is awesome (one of my favorites but the way), but after that, she doesn’t really do that much, she is just another “yes man” to Ladybug

The only thing they do is just follow Ladybug’s orders, they don’t make their own decisions on battle or opinions about the situation, they just…there

Unironically THE only heroe that I feel ALOT of emotions and did have more going on was not other then CHLOE!

How ironic isn’t?

The mean character, the one the creator hates so much, the one a lot of people say she didn’t deserve be a heroe….was the most interesting character of all of them

You know when the mean character end up being the most interesting of all the other characters than the ones that are “we” supposed to root for, says ALOT

You know you did something wrong right there

And how funny how the only heroe I did care about is replaced with another character who like the others, she doesn’t really matter

I mean, c’mon, I need more than that

The other thing I hate about the characters is that fact, or they are only “good good” or “bad bad”

All of them are sickly nice or just pure evil

Like, morally grey people doesn’t exist in this series or what!?

I need a Neutral character please

If there’s one, please tell me! The only one a can think right now is probably Nathalie

I mean, Emilie could be perfect, she not been a perfect sweet angel but not really that bad

But nope! She is just another good sweetheart who did nothing wrong

The kwamis could be perfect for that too, like not evil or good, they’re neutrals creatures doin whatever their wilders do

But no, they just so sickly nice or just acting like babies…..um….how old are they again?

The only kwamis a I like and care about are Pollen, Trixx, Plagg, Nooroo, Duusuu, Wazzy and Sass

And kinda Tikki but like the others, she is just “Your the best, I love you!” “OMG new holder! 0w0”

Also, can the adults characters have more brain cells please! Why all of them are so freaking idiots!? Dang, that would explain the kids behavior in this show

What is wrong with the parents in this show!?

Like, Gabriel I can excuse him to been terrible, because he is the bad gay-I mean bad guy anyway, if is this his job? well, he does a good one (me no trying to ignore whatever happens in the leaks)

But like, Marinette parents are just those types of parents who let their kids whatever they want, sure, they’re not terrible people but they’re not perfect, but the series paint them as “The perfects parents”

Andre could be a perfect example of a father who fails to their kid but tries to better but doesn’t know how

But nooo, he throw his biological daughter like trash to her abusive mother and replace her with another kid?

What lesson is this?? Throw your kid like trash if they don’t behave like you want and blame them for that when you were the one who raise them!?

Fuck Andre, I hated you before and I despide you now, I hope you paid for this and get karma after that!

Ugh

Ok thinks that’s all

How did Reflekdoll and Kwamibuster make the LadyNoir conflict worse?

Hi!

Okay, we'll take on Reflekdoll first. Disclaimer: I did not like it.

The problem with this episode is that it perpetuates the idea that Ladybug and Chat Noir are not truly equals. More obviously in the way that Marinette has a much easier time mastering the Black Cat than Adrien does with the Ladybug. And I know people will point to the unfortunate cataclysm as evidence that Marinette also fucked up, but she had no way of knowing that would happen and so the episode does go out of its way to make the one mistake she makes not actually be her fault. While Adrien struggles with the Ladybug and has to have Marinette help him out, and so in the end she is the one who really ends up saving the day anyway.

But that tangent aside, the point of the episode is for each of them to spend the day in the other's shoes. Having the characters understand and learn to appreciate the other partner's role is a common trope among many shows. However, Reflekdoll misses the point by a mile, because Adrien is the only one who learns a lesson. There are two ways in which this episode contributes to the Ladynoir conflict: the in-universe reasoning and the real-world explanation.

From the beginning of the episode:

Chat Noir: I don't call the shots, m'lady. You're the superhero who captures the evil akumas— I'm just the cunning, ultra-charming Chat Noir. Ladybug: Right, you have it easy. Chat Noir: Easy? That's 'cause I make it look easy. Ladybug: As cunning as you might be, that little prank you pulled earlier almost made my Lucky Charm fail! Chat Noir: D'you know why Master Fu gave you the Ladybug Miraculous instead of me? Ladybug: Because it requires someone with a sense of responsibility? Chat Noir: No, because you don't have a sense of humor. Ladybug: Pfft, whatever. (Chat Noir tries to kiss her hand) Ah! (She pulls away) Chat Noir: Uh... Look, it's no big deal! You have so many other great qualities! I'm just in charge of the humor department. (His ring starts beeping) Ladybug: You'd better get going before you lose your clown costume. Chat Noir: Miss you already, Bugaboo. Ladybug: Don't call me—! Chat Noir: (leaving) See? I was right! (Ladybug groans)

And the end:

Mister Bug: Honestly, I understand why you never have any time to make jokes, m'lady. Lady Noire: We both have our roles, huh Bugaboy? (They jump into separate alleyways.) Mister Bug: Spots off! (He detransforms. Tikki lands in his hands, and he gives her a bite of camembert. He begins taking off the earrings, which appear flat and silver.) Adrien: See you again, soon, Tikki. Tikki: Goodbye, Adrien! (takes the miraculous, which turn round and polka-dotted when she grabs them, and flies away) Lady Noire: Claws in! (She detransforms. Plagg falls into her hands, and she gives him a bite of a macaron.) Marinette: Bye-bye, Plagg. (hands over the disguised miraculous, which is rose gold) That was really awesome! Plagg: (the miraculous turns black and green in his hands) Sure was! No better way to escape the boredom of daily life! (He flies off, returning to Adrien, who laughs with joy and embraces him.) Adrien: You can count on me, Plagg. I'll never take off my miraculous again! (puts it on, and it turns silver) I'm not cut out to be Ladybug, that's for sure! Marinette: (gasps upon seeing Tikki, and hugs her) Aww, (kisses her) I was so afraid I'd lost you forever, Tikki! (puts on her earrings, which become black) I'm so happy to have you back! (Tikki hugs her face, and they giggle and embrace again.)

Adrien starts the episode by making fun of Ladybug for being humorless and ends the episode by understanding how her role and the responsibilities that come with it don't give her time to crack jokes and have fun. Marinette learns... how easy it is to be Chat Noir.

And this is the problem with their dynamic. In this episode, the message is that Chat Noir is not as important as Ladybug. Chat Noir's role is to joke around and play the fool while Ladybug does the real work. And "learning" this is what causes Ladybug to double down on being "the only one with responsibility" in Season 4, which leads to her neglecting her partner and trying to do everything herself (there are other reasons, of course, but this is one of them).

But that is of course, the in-universe explanation. Now, from a writing standpoint, Reflekdoll's main issue is with how it frames the conflict itself. Chat Noir is accused of playing the fool and not taking it seriously. And yes, on some occasions he does have the tendency to do that, but he does take the job seriously, as proven by the sheer number of times he sacrifices himself so that they can win. Chat Noir has also never considered Ladybug's job to be easy, and he's always shown that he understands how important her role is. And Ladybug herself is not a killjoy. She also makes jokes along with him and enjoys participating in banter. His role was greatly undermined here for that sort of contrived conflict. And it reinforces the idea that Chat Noir and Ladybug are not equals. Chat Noir isn't as important or necessary as Ladybug. She's the only one who matters, and he is increasingly irrelevant. Ladybug is Barbie, and Chat Noir is Ken. This attitude carries over into the following seasons, and is never really dropped even when the conflict between them actually becomes an in-universe thing.

Now, as for Kwamibuster, it also reinforces the increasing gap between them. It's another straw in the cup of Ladybug's secrets. At this point it is still Master Fu's fault, but it still serves to reinforce the inequality between them, because Ladybug gets to know secrets and information that Chat Noir doesn't. Ladybug gets to know and choose all the Miraculous holders and know their identities, but if Chat Noir does, then they can't be holders anymore. This was an excuse for Marinette to cover her tracks, but it does have some implications that only emphasize the inequalities between the both of them. This sort of secret keeping that Master Fu taught Ladybug is what she continues to do even when she becomes Guardian, and it is detrimental to their relationship. It's not the only example of this, but it is the most egregious one, especially since we know that this rule didn't apply to fucking Shadowmoth. It's one more secret being kept from him to add to the pile.

So yeah. I hope this answers your question anon. Thank you for your ask!

Rewatching ML Season 4

Truth: Luka is fed up with Marinette lying to him. Ladybug is put under a truth spell and says that she appreciates Chat Noir’s courage, confidence and jokes. Chat Noir says he’s only that happy with her.

Lies: Marinette watches TV program about Adrien and says his life is awesome, even though sometimes he looks bored or sad. Adrigami scenes. Kagami wants to draw Adrien and says that neither his model poses nor Chat Noir pose is really him. She wants him to be more natural and vulnerable. A few times they almost kiss, but Adrien has to go to help Ladybug. Kagami is fed up with Adrien’s lies. More: Luka vs Adrien and Kagami vs Ladybug. Chat Noir sacrifices himself again.

Gang of Secrets: Ladybug and Chat Noir go to the cinema. Ladybug is frustrated with her love life and doesn’t want to talk about it neither with Chat Noir nor her friends. Marinette is fed up with lying and finally tells Alya that she’s Ladybug.

Mr Pigeon 72: Adrien brought Plagg a big bag full of cheese. He’s “lucky” his father is neglectful, otherwise he would take him to psychologist. Marinette, why are you so stupid (again). Adrien is turned into a pigeon. Adrien is so focused on Marinette that he hits his head when getting in the car.

Furious Fu: —

Sole Crusher: Hi, Zoé. Marinette is short with Chat Noir like Ladybug.

Queen Banana: Chloé wants to be a film star. Adrien wants her to apologise, but she refuses.

Guiltrip: Adrienette moment, Adrien makes googly eyes at Marinette. There’s a pink background, but it’s hard to say if it’s just Marinette who sees her friend this way—it looks like Adrien does too! He comforts Juleka. Chat Noir tries to kill himself. Adrien mocks Chloé.

Optigami: Marinette and Adrien are stuck together in the lift during Akuma attack and they almost reveal themselves.

Sentibubbler: —

Rocketear: Nino thinks Alya’s in love with Chat Noir. Nino tells Adrien that he and Alya are superheroes. Adrien is taken aback that Ladybug let them know their true identities and is worried that Ladybug doesn’t trust him. Nino says Ladybug thinks Chat Noir is disgusting. Adrien is sad during transformation.

Wishmaker: Adrien doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future and says he’s a model now just because his father asked told him to. Marinette and Luka notice Adrien is sad. Adrien again makes googly eyes at Marinette. Luka learns Ladybug and Chat Noir’s true identities. Adrien says that as a child he wanted only to fulfill his parents’ wishes.

Mega Leech: Adrien is shocked to see that his father lied to him about the advertisment. Gabriel treats Adrien’s image as his possession. Adrien is sad and angry. He takes Marinette’s hand during the protest. Chat Noir is possessed by the villain. Adrien notices Marinette is fascinated with the advertisment and isn’t sure what to make of it. Gabriel is angry at Adrien for joining the protest and sends him to his room, touching the wedding ring.

Simpleman: Adrien calls Marinette and asks her to fix a wing that he needs for a photo session. When I watched this for the first time, I thought he genuinely needed her help, but now I think he uses this as an excuse to see her (this isn’t his job to find somebody to fix the wing). Ladybug and Chat Noir almost give the villain their Miraculouses in exchange for sweets.

Dearest Family: Where did Gabriel get the amulet from? I guess my Disney+ has the wrong order of the episodes again. Tikki has an eating disorder. We can see a glimpse of her true form. Gabriel’s talking about destroying the old world and creating a new one, but I don’t think he’s the best source of information about how the wish works.

Crocoduel: Congratulations, Gabriel, Jagged Stone who abandoned his children for years is a better father than you. Chat Noir flirts with every new girl in the team.

Glaciator 2: Ladybug is angry at Chat Noir for his constant declarations of love and throws him in the garbage. Adrien decides to change. He’s sad and cries in the park. Marinette unsuccessfully tries to cheer him up. Gabriel almost sends an Akuma to Adrien, but when he notices it’s his son he stops the Akuma. Gabriel tries to talk to Adrien, but their conversation isn’t going anywhere. Chat Noir is destroying the billboards. How much cheese has he had to take with him? He doesn’t have any bag with him, does he have to go to a shop on every street? I love these Marichat scenes. I want to see Adrien being as sarcastic as Chat Noir here.

Hack-San: Marinette is in a hurry, but she should think about telling Chat Noir she’s leaving Paris. Chat Noir again feels that Ladybug doesn’t trust him. Sincere Ladynoir conversation.

Gabriel Agreste: Adrien brings ill Nathalie a meal and tries to talk to her about his problems. Adrien is compared to an imprisoned princess and Marinette—to a knight. Does Félix suspect that the wedding ring is Adrien’s Amok and try to protect him? Kagami and Félix don’t seem to like each other. Or this is how Félix reacts when he likes somebody. I thought Gabriel tried to kill Félix, but the Akuma goes to the fake wedding ring. OK, so this episode should be before Dearest Family. Félix is now sure that Gabriel created Senti-Gabriel and that he has the Peacock Miraculous.

Ephemeral: Gabriel’s touching his wedding ring when he’s telling Adrien to replace him at the conference. Su-Han tells Ladybug that she should know Chat Noir’s true identity. Marinette cannot believe that Chat Noir is really Adrien. It’s too early for the true reveal: Marinette needs to appreciate Chat Noir too. Marichat needs to happen. Again, neither the reveal nor Adrienette aren’t really problems, it’s the relationship between Adrien and Gabriel: Adrien loves him, but Gabriel is ready to hurt him to achieve his goal. Gabriel’s touching his wedding ring when he’s forcing Adrien to be Akumatised. More: The Reveal & Adrinette. OK, so the Kwamis confirm that the wish destroys the world and recreates it.

Psycomedian: The girls say there’s no love without friendship. Adrien again makes googly eyes at Marinette. Marinette, don’t listen to this clown. This time it’s Ladybug who falls victim to the villain and Chat Noir has to help her.

Qilin: —

Kuro Neko: Adrien feels left out by Ladybug. He gives up his ring and then changes his whole personality to be the Cat she wants him to be. But it’s not the Cat she needs. Plagg says Adrien can be serious around his father and Nathalie, so it’s sad that Ladybug wants him to be like that too. Ladybug says she knows Chat Noir very well while mistaking him for the Sentimonster. Plagg says Adrien is both Adrien and Chat Noir.

Penalteam: Adrien can’t play football.

Risk: Adrien says he doesn’t want to be a model and tells Lila he doesn’t want to listen to her lies. Gabriel wants to send Adrien away. Adrienette moment. Adrien says that it’s like an invisible force stopped him from telling his father he didn’t want to be a model. Félix says he wants to save Adrien.

Strike Back: Ladybug mistakes Félix for Adrien. If she knew Chat Noir’s true identity, she wouldn’t make that mistake. Or if Chat Noir intervened. Félix quietly says that he’s sorry and he betrays the heroes, but in the context of season 5 I can see he isn’t totally evil and selfish. Chat Noir stands by Ladybug and comforts her.

Isekai'd as Chloe

You were watching Miraculous Ladybug on your phone as your bus got hit by a truck. You died, it sucks. But a godly being gives you the chance to start anew in a brand new world. Sadly it's Miraculous, with all the plotholes, and flat characters, and don't forget worshipped while being a sexual abuser Adrien Agreste/Chat Noir. Could your day get any worse? You shouldn't have asked because you were reborn as Chloe and forgot who Papillion was. Someone wanted to see you suffer, that was sure! But you wouldn't give them the satisfaction. It was time to throw canon out of the window and make Miraculous a better show or in your case world!

Main Pairing: Reader/Luka Couffaine/Marinette Dupain-Cheng

I made a little mistake last chapter. The chapter took place Saturday and I wrote that Reader and Sabrina would see each other tomorrow at school. But it’s a Sunday XD I will correct it when I have time, just telling you it’s Sunday, no school, but not Akuma free you will see. ;D

Chapter 7: Times change

When you woke up the next day, you felt well-rested. After the whole rollercoaster of emotions, it was yesterday you earned a good sleep.

You stretched yourself and started to grab your phone from the night table. That’s when your fingers brushed something wooden.

You frowned, checking what it was.

A little familiar box from the show was beside your phone and a letter.

Suddenly you remember what had happened yesterday and started to grin.

So Master Fu did break into the Agreste household, getting Plagg back and in your hands.

Giddy you sat up.

Ah, it was so awesome!

First, you read the letter.

It said: “Dear [Y/N], Plagg is informed about your situation, so you don’t need to explain anything. We reached also out to Tikki and she will inform Marinette that you two should meet up at the Eifeltower this morning at 10 a.m. It’s better that Marinette meets you before an Akuma attack begins and learns to trust you. If anything is troubling you don’t forget to call me. M. Fu”

You checked the time and let out a sign.

Thank god you woke up earlier.

You had time till to meet Marinette aka. Ladybug.

Time enough to get familiar with Plagg and have breakfast.

That was good.

But first, you destroyed the letter. You could never be more careful.

After it was just tiny paper slips, you opened the box with your Miraculous.

You saw for a moment the ring of the black cat, then a glowy green orb floated from it, encircling you.

You let out a little ah.

Then the orb stopped before you and took the form of a yawing Plagg.

“Good morning, Plagg, it’s an honor to meet you!”, you greeted him excitedly.

The kwami of Destruction just stretched himself, then blinked at you.

“Wow, Dimee and Khee really have gone beyond to be assholes, must suck to live in the body of Miss Mayor Brat.”, he stated nonchalantly. “But it explains why you suddenly did a 360-grade change in personality.”

You admin, you were a bit disappointed. Not even a greeting? Just stating the obvious?

If you were an anime a sweatdrop would appear on your forehead.

“Do you want some camembert?”, you just asked.

At least that got Plagg excited and you called up room service to prepare breakfast for you and a plate of camembert for your kwami.

When it arrived, you already were dressed for the day with your new Miraculous on your ring finger. It had taken a nice design and it didn’t resemble Adrien’s version one bit.

You enjoyed the tower of pancakes, while Plagg stuffed himself full of camembert.

God, how could he like the stinky cheese so much?

You made small talk with each other.

“Are you really okay with me being your new holder?”

“If what Fu said is right, what Adrien would have done in the future, then yes I am. Don’t get me wrong, I like the kid, but if he takes such a dark path because he can’t accept a No from a girl, then I’m happy I got out of time.”

“All right, if you say so. Did you meet others like me before?”

“Dimensionwanderer? Yeah. You are actually my second partner who is one.”

“Really?! Who was it before me? Where did they come from? Did they live a happy life in the end?!”

“Woah, slow down, girl, chew, before you ask questions. It was also a girl, but she was here reborn as a boy. You can imagine what mental stress and body diaspora it gave her. She was one of my kittens who worried me the most, but we managed. It was in Ancient Egypt.”

“What really?! One Akuma in the future will be a copy of the Pharaoh whom Ancient Egypt Ladybug fought. So she had a female cat with her, how cool!”

“How will this happen, girl?”

“Oh well, there will be soon an exhibition in the Louvre about it.”

“Well, then we go there and I will tell you more about my kitten Sanura.”

“Aww, please give me a tiny spoiler.”

You both kept on bickering and it was quite fun. You felt it in your gut. You and Plagg would get along.

Then it was time to transform and meet Ladybug.

It was so simple to say the transformation phrase, but it was so difficult to open the eyes.

You had transformed before your mirror, so you could see yourself, yet you were scared.

What if transformed you didn’t look like yourself again?

Could you survive it?

It was inconvenient that you hadn’t much time left to meet Ladybug. You could stand here for another hour or so.

You were really freaking out!

“Come on, [Y/N], don’t be a coward. Just like a bandaid!”, you encouraged yourself.

So you opened your eyes.

And it was like the whole of Paris heard the happy, relieved, and tearful shout of a young girl.

Ladybug stood with crossed arms in one of the beams of the Eifeltower.

This whole day started crazy!

Tikki just told her that Chat Noir wouldn’t be anymore her partner and that she would get today a new one, was freaking her out.

Who decides this?

Why did this happen?

Her kwami had been all cryptic, just saying that with time she would understand. It wasn’t the right time.

Well, Marinette didn’t have a lot of time today too.

Her parents would celebrate their 20 anniversary with a fancy lunch date and she needed to finish her homework fast, so she would be punctual at Trocadéro, where Alix and Kim would have their race today.

Also, Adrien would be there!

She could amaze him with her self-made banner, she was sure! Yet thinking this made her remember how little her self-made scarf had mattered to him.

The pigtailed girl shook her head.

No, this was Chloe getting to her with her strange words.

Adrien…he didn’t do it on purpose. He was too sweet for this world, too pure.

Yeah, that was it…

That’s when she heard someone land beside her.

Prepared for anything Ladybug turned to the intruder and saw…you.

A breathtaking female cat, with the only similarity to Chat Noir, was the simple black mask with the green cat’s eyes.

You gave her a friendly smile and Ladybug felt the blush rising in her cheeks.

That…was new.

She never got shy around girls, but you…wow, you were practically glowing with happiness and satisfaction that you seemed out of this world.

In a good way!

Like a beautiful angel!

Ladybug blushed even more at her thoughts.

What was up with her?!

“Hello Ladybug!”, you greeted her with a sparkling smile and she swore her heart stopped for a second. You were just too beautiful! “I’m Calamity, it is an honor to meet you. I hope we can be partners and friends!”

You reached out with one hand to shake hers.

She blinked like in trance and took your hand in her. It was like you burned her…but in a good way.

“Hi.”, she croaked out. She mentally scolded herself to get a grip. Chat Noir never made her react this way, so why you?! “I admit…I’m a bit shocked to have a new cat on my side…but I trust my Kwami…so…to a good partnership?”

“To a good partnership.”, you agreed.

“All right. If you have time, we should do a short patrol to get to know each other better.”, she suggests.

You agreed and you both were off.

All your way over to Trocadéro with Sabrina, you were grinning so brightly and happy that Sabrina actually asked you if you had taken some kind of drug.

This only added to your happiness, that she could joke with you already like that, giving her a cheek kiss, which shut her up shocked.

Chloe never showed her any signs of affection, so her brain had to reboot.

You just took the time to remember how awesome patrol with Ladybug had been. The first few minutes it was clear that she expected you to act like Chat Noir, goofy, head-in-the-clouds, non-serious, but you surprised her.

You listen to every word she said, try to give your own input, and never did you flirt or make a stupid joke or pun.

After patrol ended she seemed pretty happy with you, that’s when you flirted a bit and told her she had a pretty smile.

Work was over so you could do it now.

She blushed so cutely at this, that you cooed at her. Also, you were so damn happy.

Seems like Ladybug/Marinette liked your true self! Maybe you could somehow date her and Luka.

But you wanted to first have with her a real friendship, before trying to romance her. And you had to tell Luka and Marinette that you were polyamorous or it could never work out.

You would see when the time came, for now, you were happy that all was good.

Marinette accepts you as her new partner. You both worked well together. Plagg was happy with you too and Sabrina grow more confident.

Yep, it was a good day.

Now you only had to prevent Alix from turning today into Timebreaker.

Sabrina and you finally reached Trocadéro, where all your classmates, besides Marinette and Alix, were there already. Kim was doing some over-the-top exercises to warm himself up, and you had to bite your lip to not laugh out loud.

Rose, the sweetheart, was the only one of your classmates who greeted you and Sabrina. She would have hugged you for sure if Juleka didn’t hold into her shoulders.

You both greeted back and tried to ignore the looks of your other classmates. There was still a lot of distaste, and distrust in them.

You would give them time.

You didn’t expect that they would want to be your friends after all the shit Chloe had pulled for years.

So Sabrina and you choose a place where you wouldn’t much disturb the others, yet could still cheer for the race.

That’s when you noted, that Adrien was missing.

Uh, did he in the canon time only come to the race since as Chat Noir he could break out from the mansion? Well, shit, seems like no Adrien today then.

A part of you did feel bad. No one, not even Mister I-Don’t-Respect-A-No should live like a prisoner in his own house/mansion.

You needed to get him out there fast.

Even more so, since he couldn’t anymore break out without Plagg.

Suddenly you hear delightful shouts and praises.

Ah, Marinette finally arrived, presenting proud her self-made banner. You and Sabrina applauded, you were pretty sure, Marinette wouldn’t take your praise as praise.

But she didn’t even notice you, since her eyes searched for, well you wanna guess?

Right, Adrien!

She looked like a kicked puppy to Alya, who just shrugged her shoulders. Marinette signed in defeat.

If only she knew that it was better to let Adrien go! You needed to destroy the Love Square!

…Was it even squared anymore, since Chat Noir was out?

“You all picked the wrong side to cheer on.”, yelled Kim loudly over everyone. “Looks like Alix isn't even showing up! Probably too chicken to race an extreme athlete like me.”

“Spoke too soon, Kim.”

There was the star of today and potentially Akuma, Alix! Everyone cheers her on.

“Your ridiculous bets are over. I'm gonna leave you in the dust, meathead!”

“You're no match for me. My neck is bigger than your thigh.”

You mumbled the same thing to Sabrina, that Alya did to Marinette: “Is that a good thing?”

Sabrina giggles cutely. You are happy that you can joke around with her. She is really a lot better since she started therapy.

Max comes between Kim and Alix and pushes them away from each other.

“Let's review the official rules.”, the glass wearer begins. “Two laps around the fountains; approximately 500 yards. The first one over the line's declared the victor! If Kim triumphs, Alix will relinquish her rollerblades to him. If Alix triumphs, Kim will be prohibited from making another dare for the rest of the school year.”

Nearly everyone shouts no more dares and such, then when Alix and Kim make themselves race ready, you make yourself ready too.

As you know Alix will give Alya her watch, which is actually the rabbit’s Miraculous, Alya hands it to Marinette and she would let it fall on the ground if Adrien didn’t catch it.

Since Adrien isn’t here, you would do it.

It plays out just like you remember from the show.

You can practically see how it falls in slow motion, till it lands securely in your hand.

“Oh dear, that was close.”, say’s Sabrina.

Marinette starts at you in disbelief.

“Chloe?”

“Marinette.”, you answer simply and put the watch in your purse. In it sits Plagg eating his camembert, eyeing the watch curiously. You close your purse to be extra safe so that nothing happens to it.

“Chloe!”, repeats Marinette in an accusing tone of voice. You kinda expected it. “That’s Alix’s watch you can’t just pocket it, give it back!”

“I’m not pocketing it, I’m keeping it save for Alix.”, you explain.

“Hah, you want me to believe that?!”

You sign and rub your temple. Sabrina looks worried between you and the angry Marinette.

“Marinette, I know you don’t believe for one bit that I want to change and be a better person and that I’m truly sorry for all the things I did in the past, but you could, at last, give me the benefit of the doubt, please.”, you beg tired.

It was true that Marinette liked you as Calamity, but Chloe she still hated. How are you ever going to romance her with this disadvantage?

You all heard then how Alix won the race and Kim practically demanded a rematch. The girl couldn’t care less, she just asked Alya for her watch back.

Before Alya could respond to her, you walked over to Alix and handed her the watch.

“Here you are Alix.”, you said simply.

You swore, it was like the whole world stopped moving. All your classmates turned silent and you felt their disbelieving burning looks on your back. Alix herself stared at you her watch back to you.

“Erm…thanks, Chloe?”, made the skater girl sound like a question, blinking rapidly with you.

You heard how Kim whisper-shouted to your classmates: “Alien, what did I say?”

With a loud groan, you turned around, ready to again explain yourself, that’s when a giant white orb crashed into the building of the Trocadéro completely destroying it!

The destructive wave was so strong then nearly everyone fall down on the ground.

You coughed the dust from your lungs, which had formed after the destruction of the building.

What in the world was-?!

“Little kitty on a roof...”, you heard a familiar voice sing.

Your heart was in your throat, sweat was breaking out and you fearfully looked around.

No…

NO!

It couldn’t be?!

Alix was supposed to be the Akuma today and you prevent it!

“...all alone without his lady.”, the voice continues to sing.

The dust finally settles.

And you saw an Akuma who shouldn’t ever exist.

You feel like throwing up.

So much from preventing to destroying too much of the canon timeline, you should have gripped the stupid Miraculous Spellbook!

The Collector was nothing against…

“Chat…Noir?”, you heard Marinette whisper in disbelief.

No, you thought, that’s…

“Chat Blanc is awfully sorry to interrupt your little race my friends.”, purred the akumatized white cat. “I’m just searching for my lady, so we can fix anything!”

Chat Blanc grinned a cold smile and his blue eyes formally burned into your being.

How many of you have expected this? Be truthful :D

I hope you liked this plot twist!

Next chapter Calamity first Akuma fight against her predecessor Chat Blanc! *dum, dum, dum!*

Let’s hope Reader-Chan and Marinette can handle the crazy cat! :D

Also if you have time check out my DeviantArt there with bases I made my version of Reader-Chan and this Calamity ^^

Miraculous Ladybug Season 5 Finale Thoughts

First, Thank you to the writers for not making it a ‘Reset everything and erase all memories of miraculous’ clechie.

Second, was the statue of Gabriel Agreste nessacary?

Third, Adrien STILL doesn't know anything about what his dad wanted or was planning on doing

Fourth, I'm pleased that the holders are now responsible for their miraculous and their Kwamis, but does Adrien know all of them now, or does he still only know the ones he knew before?

Fifth, i would have liked to have seen everyone (French heroes, United Heros, and Fei) come to Agreste home and help Bug Noire fight Monarch/Gabriel

Finally, God Plagg and Goddess Tikki looked so awesome!

#miraculous spoilers #mirculous ladybug #season 5 #S5 finale #Monarch's reign is over

Adrien: All we need is a seventh boy, and we’ll be the Ouran Host Club!

Nathaniel:

Momma’s boy and doesn’t care who knows it. He loves his mom and just to make her day, will call her ‘Mommy’

Shortest boy in class, but he’s the oldest. He’s basically the Mitsukuni Haninozuka of the boys

The guys still like to mess with him, though, but it’s in good fun

Nathaniel: Guys, I need a boost.

Kim: *Smugly* Ask the right way.

Nathaniel: … I need upsies.

Monarch’s heels, plus the glamour add a TON of height

He’d kill for Nooroo

Wears a lot of soft hoodies so Nooroo will be comfortable in the front pocket

Rose loves to squish his face whenever she has the opportunity

Thicc

LOVES kids and it takes all of his willpower to not adopt a random child off the street

He’s a villain, but he’s got some a lot of morals

Like… Talking to his akumas and guiding them along, don’t let them kill anyone, and keep his loved ones from getting hurt

First person people go to when they need a poster for a school event

Reads comics and manga with Alya and Reshma

Alix:

Best friends with Nathaniel since they were born

Curses in Arabic sometimes

Only physically affectionate around Nath

Marinette’s partner in badassery and cyber goth fashion

Nathaniel paints designs on her skateboard and skates

She has him do henna tattoos on her arm because she can’t keep her hand steady enough to do them herself

Friendly rivalry with Kim

Mixed feelings about Monarch

I mean, he was nice to her on her birthday

Lives in the Louvre?? Are their apartments or something there?

Pretty close to Jalil

Just wishes he weren’t such a dork

Top of her history class

Has a friendly history class rivalry with Simon

Nathaniel cut her hair when they were seven, and she’s kept it like that ever since

MUSCLES!

Ivan:

He’s baby, you guys!

Just don’t get on his bad side

Doesn’t really see Monsrch as a villain, more like a being of chaos

Will carry you

Mom friend in training. Nino won’t always be around

Paints his nails

*Shrugs* Demiboy

Has a ton of horror themed stuffed animals he and Juleka bought at a convention

Meditates with Nino

Dyes Myléne’s hair when the colors start to fade (Kim and Juleka taught him how)

Marinette kinda scares him. She’s the only person able to carry him

Also has playlists inspired by his friends (And girlfriend)

Does beat poetry

Myléne:

Dresses like it’s the seventies

Owns a lot of bandanas

Kinda scared of Monarch

Goes thrifting a lot

Owns over two hundred iron on patches

Likes Indie rock bands

If Ivan doesn’t get upset, she will, and it won’t be pretty

Ivan: You’re beautiful when you’re angry.

Myléne: THEN I’M ABOUT TO BE A FUCKING SUPER MODEL!

Has fifty Body positivity patches

Broadway Baby

Naturally, she’s friends with Jean

Marinette thinks she’s iconic- A short theater-loving hippie with a fiery attitude who knows how to up-cycle and has a poet boyfriend

Loves mimes

Associated with a Children’s Hospital charity

Has handcuffs in case she needs to cuff herself to an important structure about to be demolished

If the right buttons are pushed, she will go feral

… Also, she knits

Juleka:

Pretty lesbian goddess!

Teenage Morticia Addams

May or May not have a spell books

And some of them may or may not work on unsuspecting assholes

Aurore’s ‘Sister of the Parasol’

Tallest girl in class (Alya’s just one millimeter short)

A little more outspoken than canon

Has binders just in case anyone else comes out

Knows every horror movie trope

Thinking about filing her teeth to make fangs

Naturally pale (It was a medical problem when she was born)

Always has just one spec of pink on her outfits

Speaks Icelandic since most of her favorite bands are from Iceland

The Princess to Rose’s Knight

Juleka: Rose, Marinette’s not our daughter from the future.

Rose: She wears pink, and she’s a cyber goth!

Juleka: … Well, she does have blue eyes.

Thinks Monarch is… Okay

Rose:

Everyone’s favorite chaotic ray of sunshine

Wears a ton of pastels

Thinks Juleka is the most beautiful thing in this world

Nathaniel is the most precious

And Alix is the most badass

In and out of hospitals (Tells people it’s a family emergency so they don’t worry)

Wears suits to formal events

Doesn’t look like it, but she loves grunge, heavy metal, death metal, grindcore, Viking metal, etc.

Yet, her ringtone is PFUDOR

Paints Juleka’s nails

She thinks Monarch has his reasons since he doesn’t seem so evil

Still, she’s watching him

This girl can throw a punch

Watches a lot of Disney

Sabrina

Just wants school to be over

Wasn’t always Chloé servant

Chloé was just looking for the weakest person in class to do whatever she commanded… And since Nathaniel was out sick that day, she was stuck with Sabrina

Has a lot of stress balls

Thinks Alya is the most beautiful girl in class

Her parents are divorced because her mom was a total narcissistic who blamed her and Roger for all of her mistakes

Actually used to be friends with Marinette, Kim, and Nino. Then Chloé snatched her up

Is afraid to stand up to Chloé because of what she’ll have her father do

Has only met Adrien a handful of times during play dates

Had a crush on Max until he came out as gay

Actually really pretty

Outfits are a little… Avant Garde

Would give anything to punch Chloé in the face

Really likes berets

Due to having a police officer for a dad, she knows quite a bit crime trivia that it’s almost scary

She also knows how to disarm someone. Learned that when she was five

Doesn’t really have an opinion on Monarch

Chloé:

Has been terrorizing her class since they were six

No one can find a good bone in her body

And they have TRIED

Whips her ponytail in peoples faces

Has a pointing problem. She just points her finger in peoples faces

Marinette bit her four times

Has been flipped off more times than she can count

Abuses her qualified immunity

At this point, making peoples lives hell is just a game to her

Superiority complex to the max

… Narcissistic personality disorder? (arrogant thinking and behavior, a lack of and consideration for other people, excessive need for admiration, selfish, patronizing, demanding) … Yeah, that seems about right

Not above using her father’s position to make school hell for everyone (Little does she know, she’s putting him on thin ice)

Will I redeem her?… Chances are slim

Tried to get Marinette’s family’s bakery shut down just because she felt like it. And she almost succeeded, too.

She makes Sabrina do her homework

Hates Alya because no one in class should be prettier than her

I’ll do other characters later
