Ladybug (Miraculous Ladybug)

Marinette Dupain-Cheng, better known as Ladybug, is one of the titular main protagonists of the Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. Marinette is a student in Collège Françoise Dupont. With her Miraculous, inhabited by a Kwami named Tikki, she has the power of good luck and can transform into the superhero Ladybug. 
In season 3 of the episode "Reflekdoll", she receives the Cat Miraculous from Plagg, which, when inhabited by him, can transform her into Lady Noire, a cat-themed superhero for a mix-up and receives the Mouse Miraculous from Master Fu, which, when inhabited by the Kwami Mullo, can transform her into Multimouse, a mouse-themed superhero. 
In the French version, she is voiced by Anouck Hautbois, in the English version, like in her movie counterpart, she is voiced by Cristina Vee, who also voiced Sentimonster Ladybug and Nightmare Ladybug in the same series, Homura Akemi in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Rei Hino / Sailor Mars in Sailor Moon, Morgiana in Magi, Robyn Hill in RWBY, Kotori Minami in Love Live School Idol Project, Velvet Crowe in Tales of Berseria, Sam Manson in Danny Phantom, Darkness in Konosuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!, Shantae and Risky Boots in Shantae, Meiko Mochizuki in Digimon Adventure tri., and Compa in Hyperdimension Neptunia, and Edelgard von Hresvelg in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. In the Japanese version, she is voiced by Karin Nanami.
==Appearance==
Marinette is a quarter Italian, a quarter French, and half-Chinese. She has vivid azure eyes, light scarlet lipsticks, freckles, and black hair with blue highlights that she usually wears back in two pigtails with red bands.
As a civilian, she wears a dark gray dress blazer with sleeves and a collar that are white with pink polka dots and outlined with black. Underneath, she wears a white t-shirt with a black collar and sleeve line, and a design below the collar with black leaves and pink flowers. Also, she has pink jeans and very reddish-brown soled light pink ballet shoes. She wears earrings that are black when not holding Tikki.
As Ladybug, she wears a red ladybug-themed superhero black turtleneck collared jumpsuit with black spots. Above her hips, she wears her yo-yo around them with the string, and she wears a red mask with black spots. Her earrings become red with five black spots, and the bands holding her hair back become red ribbons. Her hair and her eyes become slightly bluer.
As Lady Noire, she wears a black collared suit and cat ears with green lining. Her hair turns a blueish-black and grows a braid at the back, and the sclera of her eyes turn green. She also wears a black mask.
As Multimouse, she wears a gray and pink bodysuit with black gloves and a gray and pink mask. On her neck, she wears the Mouse necklace. She also has a jump rope around her waist that serves as a "tail". When she unifies other Kwamis with Mullo, the pink parts on her suit and mask change color to reflect it.
In the Season 5 finale, "The Last Day", as Bug Noire, her bodysuit is a hybrid of her appearance as Ladybug and Lady Noire, sporting red, green, and black on it. She still wears her Ladybug domino mask, which remains unchanged, and her headband with the cat ears, now sporting red on the back of them with the green highlights and black, but her eyes become green with four black dots around the main pupil, her pigtails become long and braided, but become only half as long as her main one as Lady Noire, which she also keeps, giving her three pigtails, and her yo-yo becomes black with green spots while also sporting the staff provided by the Cat Miraculous. Because of her and Cat Noir unlocking the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous' full powers in "Revolution", Marinette is able to fight Gabriel Agreste/Monarch at her full strength, using the full powers of the Miraculous of Creation and Destruction to defeat him.
==Personality==
Marinette is a sweet, outgoing, joyful, and generous yet clumsy girl who loves fashion, her friends and family, and her crush Cat Noir. But she does struggle with self-confidence and self-esteem. If a situation she deems is dangerous, like doing something for Adrien or losing a book that will expose her secret identity, she becomes very nervous and awkward, failing to keep calm and being quick to panic. 
She deeply cares for other people, and she usually puts their feelings and interests before her own, in some cases being at a personal cost. Despite being genuinely kind, she does have her limits, such as in "The Evillustrator", when she gets irritated with Chloé to the point that, as Ladybug, she refuses to continue watching her to protect her. She can also act impulsively and irrationally at times, as shown when she tries to deflect the false accusation of "stealing" Chloé's bracelet onto others who are also innocent. 
Although she is absentminded and acts before thinking at times, mostly if Adrien is involved or she is panicking about a dilemma, she is extremely clever, like hiding her signature in her bowler hat design that exposes Chloé for stealing her design.
She also takes advice from others very well whether it's family or friends seen in "Malediktator", "Heroes' Day", and other episodes.
As Ladybug, Marinette retains many of her alter ego's characteristics, but she is much stronger. Her confidence and bravery come out more prominently. Her quick-thinking, resourcefulness, and wits are more obvious, especially when she is figuring out how to utilize her Lucky Charm. Marinette strives to rescue everyone, including those akumatized by Hawk Moth. No matter the difficulty of her tasks, she does everything in her power to set things right while keeping up with her everyday responsibilities, like designing something or working in the bakery. Like Cat Noir, Ladybug is clever with her words and occasionally enjoys making puns. 
She has a more serious side when fighting against Hawk Moth's villains, as opposed to Cat Noir's laid-back and goofy personality. At times, she enjoys teasing him and others, while she can get exasperated, she handles joking calmly. Marinette as Ladybug is more cautious and careful than Cat Noir sometimes needing to restrain or stop him from doing hasty acts seen in several episodes. As her alter ego, Marinette strives to keep her personal and superhero lives separate to protect herself, the people she knows or she is close to. She is also great at advising others when they need it. With her greater confidence, she aims to be honest with others in other ways, like her honesty with Cat Noir about not having romantic feelings for him.
Ladybug believes that a great superhero always listens to their head, meaning that she isn't easily fooled or swayed by deceptions and lies and she learns that justice is always the answer than revenge.
In "Mayura", she also acknowledges that good things come by doing good actions and that not all problems can be solved by wishing them away, especially at the expense of hurting the innocent.
In "Heart Hunter", the sheer amount of responsibilities that she has combined with Adrien apparently falling in love with Kagami and having unknowingly led Hawk Moth right to Master Fu finally causes her to break down and cry in Luka's arms as well as Cat Noir's in "Miracle Queen".
However, because of the big burden she has as Guardian, Ladybug becomes very protective of the Miraculous under her care in a way that started to affect her friendship and partnership with Cat Noir, as she starts to neglect him and take him for granted, like calling other heroes to help her instead of him or not trusting in him to retrieve the Miraculous from the holders whose identities he knows. After Hawk Moth manages to steal all the Miraculous in the Miracle Box (except for hers and Cat Noir's), Ladybug feels guilty and drowns in her own despair, thinking she had lost everything, and realizes her other mistakes, until Cat Noir reminds her that she still has him, the faith of all Parisians and ensuring her they will retrieve all of the Miraculous back, and make sure they are not stolen again. His speech is able to fill her with the hope she needed to stand up and keep fighting.
==Biography==
===Background===
Marinette attended Collège Françoise Dupont for three years previously and attended an unnamed elementary school a year before that, all while sharing the same class with Chloé Bourgeois, who constantly bullied her for her own personal satisfaction. At one point, Marinette fell for Le Chien Kim, but a mean prank by Chloe that Kim was involved it traumatized Marinette enough to be more cautious around having a relationship with another boy. An older classmate, Socqueline Wang, saved Marinette from further humiliation by Chloe posting what happened on the Internet by destroying the cellphone with the evidence on it and glaring down Chloe, but despite her heroic act to protect Marinette, Chloe used her connections with her father as Mayor to have Principal Damocles suspend Socqueline for the rest of the school year as retaliation. In honor of Socqueline's actions protecting her, Marinette began wearing her hair styled after Socqueline's with the dual pigtails instead of in a bun like before.

=== Season 3 ===
In "Cat Blanc", when Marinette drops off a gift for Adrien while disguised as Ladybug, she inadvertently reveals to Adrien that she is Ladybug, resulting in where he transforms into Cat Noir in full view of her to save her from being Akumatized by Hawk Moth. Unfortunately, Hawk Moth uses this to lure Ladybug and Cat Noir to him, revealing himself to be Gabriel, Adrien's father, and the pod containing the comatose Emilie, Adrien's mother. Seizing advantage of Adrien's emotional distress from this revelation, Gabriel Akumatizes him into Cat Blanc, unlocking the full powers of Plagg's powers of destruction, but when torn between using his Cataclysm against his girlfriend or father because of the sadistic choice presented to him, Cat Blanc turns his attack on himself, with tragic consequences. The explosion of energy from the Cataclysm kills Marinette/Ladybug, Gabriel/Hawk Moth, Emilie, and essentially everyone on Earth, including the rest of the French Miraculous Superhero Team, threatening to cause the older Bunnyx to cease to exist due to the death of her younger self.
Wishing to avoid this nightmare, Bunnyx summons Ladybug from the past to right this wrong. After being knocked into the flood waters engulfing Paris by Cat Blanc, Ladybug finds the incinerated remains of her future self and Hawk Moth, but upon touching her remains, they crumble into ash, horrifying her at this grim fate that will befall her and everyone else. She attempts to fight Cat Blanc, but his powers are too strong, and when she won't hand over the Ladybug Miraculous so he can try to fix his mistakes, he threatens to use a Mega Cataclysm that could destroy the Milky Way and the whole universe if released.
Faced with that, Ladybug gives up to save the universe, but as she approaches Cat Blanc and tries to kiss him and calls him "Cat Noir", he appears to fight off his Akumatization long enough to point out the bell on his collar is where the Akuma is. Ladybug quickly sees to its demise and purifying the Akuma, restoring Cat Blanc back into Cat Noir, before then taking her leave to return to Bunnyx. Once there, she figures out what would lead to the bad future, and returns to erase her name on the card with the gift she left for Adrien, then lying to him that it was from some fans of his from Brazil, thus saving the older Bunnyx and preventing the dark future she had been to.
In "Ladybug", Marinette is falsely accused by Lila of several things, including pushing her down the stairs, injuring her, and stealing from Lila, forcing Principal Damocles to expel her, much to the shock of many of her classmates and her parents. Gabriel and Nathalie attempt to take advantage of this with using their Scarlet Moth/Catalyst plan again, but as they Akumatize many of Marinette's classmates back into their supervillain personas, and also attempt to Akumatize Marinette and Sabine into the supervillains "Princess Justice" and "Verity Queen", Nathalie collapses from her illness caused by using the Peacock Miraculous while it was damaged, forcing Gabriel to abandon the plan, reverting everyone back to normal. Marinette later learns of how close she almost came to handing the Ladybug Miraculous earrings over to Hawk Moth on a silver platter if she had been Akumatized while talking with Tikki about the incident, and decides to talk to Alya as she is not going to let Hawk Moth, nor Lila, having their way. Later, Nathalie, as Mayura, creates a Sentimonster version of Ladybug to torment Paris to ruin Ladybug's reputation, forcing Marinette and Adrien as Ladybug and Cat Noir to confront it. After a hard-fought battle, they manage to secure the object carrying the Sentimonster Ladybug's Amok, freeing her, but as the three heroes advance on Mayura, she releases the Amok, resulting in the Sentimonster Ladybug's demise, to the real Ladybug and Cat Noir's horror. Before a furious Cat Noir can attack Mayura in retaliation, Hawk Moth arrives to rescue her, leading to a standoff as Ladybug holds Mayura hostage, and Hawk Moth holds Cat Noir hostage. In the end, both sides release their hostages to fall off the Arc de Triumph, forcing Ladybug and Hawk Moth to rescue their respective partners. Ladybug later fixes all the damage with Miraculous Ladybug, but it couldn't bring the Sentimonster Ladybug back, causing her and Cat Noir to realize that using the Peacock Miraculous for evil is ever worse than using the Butterfly Miraculous for the same intention. Later, Adrien forces Lila under threat of ending his friendship with her to use another lie to convince Principal Damocles she framed Marinette for the incident with the stairs and stealing, forgive Marinette, and readmit her to the school. Damocles is convinced and restores Marinette's enrollment, but that doesn't mean Marinette forgives her parents, her classmates, or the school faculty, for falling for Lila's deception, since she knows it can, and will, happen again.
By the season finale, Marinette discovers that Chloe had been working against Team Miraculous and aiding Hawk Moth, despite knowing that her secret identity as Queen Bee would put Chloe and her parents in danger. As punishment, she relieves Chloe of the Bee Miraculous, dismissing her from ever being Queen Bee again. Angered at being kicked out of Team Miraculous, Chloe vows revenge on Ladybug, and takes her bullying of Marinette to even worse levels than before.
=== Miraculous New York ===
=== Season 4 ===
After Master Fu entrusts Marinette with the Miraculous Box and dubs her the new Guardian of the Miraculous to protect himself from Hawk Moth, now using the mended Peacock Miraculous alongside the Butterfly Miraculous to become Shadow Moth, Marinette finds herself with a bigger burden in keeping all the Miraculous safe, especially when her classmates have their identities as Miraculous users compromised, violating the cardinal rule of Miraculous users: Never let your enemy know your civilian identity. As a result, when their identities are compromised, threatening to allow Gabriel/Shadow Moth to use their families or friends as hostages to get them to surrender their Miraculous to him, Marinette is forced to take the Miraculous back to protect them, thus preventing her and Cat Noir from calling on the likes of Rena Rouge, Carapace, Vesperia, Purple Tigress, King Monkey, Pegasus, Minotaurox, Pigella, Miss Hound, Viperion, Bunnyx, Polymouse, Ryuko, Caprikid, or Rooster Bold to aid them against Shadow Moth's Akumatized supervillains or Amoktized sentimonsters. Alya tried to circumvent this by becoming Rena Furtive to continue to help Ladybug in battle, but when her identity is compromised again, she decides to renounce the Fox Miraculous for good to protect her family, and Nino, and returns it to Marinette. Ladybug's relationship with Cat Noir also deteriorates due to her refusal to tell him anything that would prove valuable to their fight against Shadow Moth, or entrust him with any other Miraculous, still haunted by the dark future she was taken to by Bunnyx in "Cat Blanc", and fearful of Cat Noir being Akumatized by Shadow Moth and turned against her, leading to her death and those of everyone else in Paris, if not the whole world.
In "Qilin", Marinette and her mother, Sabine, are planning a luncheon together. However, while Marinette is summoned to deal with a threat as Ladybug, Sabine heads to College Francois Dupont to teach an art class, despite it being a Saturday. After the class, she and Marinette board the bus, but when Marinette gets off at one stop to grab a Mother's Day gift for Sabine, the bus leaves without her. A racist ticket inspector accuses Sabine of not having a bus ticket, despite her explanation that Marinette has it, fines her 50 Euros, and at the next stop, has Roger and a couple of Gendarme waiting to arrest her. Despite Sabine and Roger being good friends, Roger is pressured by the ticket inspector to arrest her, causing Sabine to become so frustrated, it makes her vulnerable for Shadow Moth to turn her into the supervillain Qilin to unleash her fury on the police and Gendarme for her unjustly arrest. Once Ladybug and Cat Noir manage to calm her down and get her to renounce the Akuma, much to Shadow Moth's anger, Ladybug convinces the ticket inspector and Roger to wait for Marinette. Despite the ticket inspector's complaints, Roger follows Ladybug's advice this time and waits for Marinette. When she shows up and shows the tickets to the inspector, realizing they're legit, the inspector begrudgingly apologizes for his behavior and drops any further actions against Sabine, and Marinette agrees to pay her mom's fine, but has to ask her mom to borrow the money anyway.
In "Family Dearest", Shadow Moth manages to increase his powers to where he could now make Megakumas, which could bypass Ladybug's Magical Charms and still turn the users into supervillains to serve Shadow Moth. To test out his new power, Shadow Moth turns Marinette's father Tom, mother Sabine, and paternal grandparents Rolland and Gina into their supervillain forms again to unleash chaos on Paris. Marinette also had to deal with Tikki going crazy for a new sweet that the bakery had developed, the galette, and not even becoming Ladybug prevented this as Ladybug became consumed by the same crazed hunger for Tikki's new favorite food. As Ladybug now had to deal with both Tikki's insatiable hunger for galettes and the combined forces of Weredad, Qilin, Bakerix, and Befana, she was in quite a predicament. While Cat Noir tries to fight the supervillains, Marinette reverts back, but Tikki is now so crazed and psycho for galettes that she takes off, leaving Marinette to fend for herself when her family find her and capture her, but she is able to slip away while they quarrel amongst themselves. Upon finding Tikki, Tikki has become so obsessed with galettes that she uses her Lucky Charm to create a giant one over Paris, threatening to crush the city. Cat Noir manages to destroy it with Cataclysm as Astrocat, and Marinette confronts Tikki over her obsession. Apologizing for her behavior, Tikki was worried that Marinette would think less of her because of her cravings. Marinette assures her that she would never do such a thing and they can help Tikki overcome her cravings together. Moved by Marinette's faith in her, Tikki agrees to work with Marinette again, and they transform once more into Ladybug to help Cat Noir against the transformed Dupain-Chengs. Figuring that the object containing the Akuma is back at the bakery, the Miraculous Duo return there and find the infected galette, and Ladybug struggles to avoid eating it because of Tikki's cravings. Thankfully, she passes it to Cat Noir, who destroys it with Cataclysm, revealing the Megakuma, much to their shock, and Ladybug sees to purifying it, restoring the Dupain-Chengs to normal, before undoing the damage with Miraculous Ladybug. Afterwards, she gives Tom, Sabine, Rolland, and Gina new Magical Charms, despite how they might not protect them from being turned into supervillains again by Shadow Moth, and after turning back into Marinette, she shares some of the galette with the Kwamis, and assures them that Tikki is controlling herself much better now. Marinette then goes to see her family, and accepts the motorbike Gina got for her, but asks for an electric mini-scooter for now, and she can use the motorbike when she's older, leading to her family arguing again, before she mounts the motorbike and takes off, to Gina's happiness and the shock of Tom, Sabine, and Rolland.
Near the end of season, Marinette is tricked by Adrien's cousin, Felix, into giving him the Dog Miraculous to help combat both the Akumatized villain Risk and the powerful Sentimonster Strikeback while disguised as his cousin Adrien. This comes as she is affected by Risk, after Shadow Moth realized she never takes risks and decides to use that against her. Using its powers, he's able to tap Ladybug's yo-yo with the Dog Miraculous' ball, granting him access to the Miraculous Box and all the collected Miraculous artifacts within, but only after they've restored Risk to normal and Ladybug, as Pennybug, a combination of unifying the Ladybug, Horse, and Rabbit Miraculous, has banished Strikeback into the Sun to ensure it won't threaten Paris ever again. However, all of Ladybug's fellow Miraculous users, sans Cat Noir, have their civilian identities compromised, forcing them to be relieved of duty for their own protection, and had been overpowered by the time she returned to help them after figuring out what Risk's infected object was in the past so they could retrieve it in the present and deal with the Akuma. Striking up a deal with his uncle, Felix offers him all of the Miraculous in the box, and the Dog Miraculous, in return for the mended Peacock Miraculous. Despite suspecting a catch, Gabriel agrees, and Felix captures the Miraculous using Fetch, along with their Kwamis. By the time Marinette reverts back and transforms into Ladybug again to retrieve her yo-yo after Adrien reveals the deception regarding him and his cousin, and she realizes she took a huge risk and it backfired, she is too late to save the rest of the Miraculous. After Felix surrenders the Dog Miraculous and leaves with the Peacock Miraculous, upholding his end of the deal he made with his uncle, Gabriel, redubbing himself Monarch in place of his original identity as Hawk Moth, announces to all of Paris that he will continue to torment and threaten the city until Ladybug and Cat Noir surrender to him and hand over the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous. Horrified that she played right into Hawk Moth's hands, Ladybug collapses in despair and cries. Despite her demoralized and hopeless state at losing the Miraculous to Monarch, Ladybug is encouraged by Cat Noir and the people of Paris to continue her fight to protect them from Monarch as they all support her, restoring her morale and fighting spirit.
=== Season 5 ===
As her fight with Monarch continues, Marinette soon manages to recover the Rabbit Miraculous from Monarch after he foregoes using it to repair the Peacock Miraculous in the past to help Emilie and Nathalie to seek vengeance on her and Cat Noir instead, resulting in Nathalie in the present calling him out on his lust for power over love for his wife and son and abandoning him, while he refuses to own up to his own mistakes and blames Ladybug for what happened, leaving him seething in rage and consumed by his lust for revenge. To do so, when Ladybug and Cat Noir are called to the older Bunnyx's Burrow to see what Monarch is planning to do in the past, he ambushes them and immobilizes the future Bunnyx with Venom. However, Cat Noir takes the Rabbit Miraculous from her to become Rabbit Noir to protect it. Heading back to Paris during its occupation by the Nazis during World War II to get the Dog Miraculous from the past Master Fu, they have the younger Alix from the present time use it to become Canigirl, and with her help, they lure Monarch with a Miraculous Box Lucky Charm as a decoy to ambush him in the Burrow, allowing Canigirl to get the Rabbit Miraculous from him, and quickly escape before he can get it back. To ensure that the Rabbit Miraculous does not fall into evil hands again, Ladybug entrusts it to Alix, who supported by her father Alim, who knew about her destiny to become Bunnyx thanks to postcards from her older self from all over the time stream, is forced to enter the time stream to ensure the Miraculous is safe, and the timeline is not altered in any way that would benefit Monarch, joining her older self as they travel the time stream together. Her older self sees to dragging Monarch back to the present so he doesn't try to alter the past as a last resort after losing one of the most powerful and vital Miraculous known to humanity. Once Monarch was defeated, Alix would be free to return to the present with the Rabbit Miraculous safe from his threat.
Marinette is later horrified to find Monarch in her own bedroom, having apparently been told by the Kwamis where to find her, or at least the Guardian of the Miraculous. Luckily, having anticipated this, she is able to lure Monarch on a scavenger hunt leading to his capture by Ladybug and Cat Noir. As Ladybug prepares to take back the Kwamis, Monarch, in a desperate move to keep possession of them, does the unthinkable, and forces Cat Noir to use Cataclysm on Monarch himself, leaving him with a scar on his arm that would slowly spread across his body and kill him. Worse, Ladybug could not undo it with Miraculous Ladybug as Monarch stole the Lucky Charm she needed to perform it, thus dooming the enemy to a slow, agonizing, painful death. Also, to prevent losing the remaining Miraculous he still possessed after that close call with Ladybug and Cat Noir, he melts down the other ones to recraft them into rings so he can use the Kwamis' powers when he sees fit, while maintaining his alliance with Kagami's mother, Tomoe Tsurugi, and imprisons the Kwamis to use whenever he has use for their powers for his next plan, including transferring them into the Alliance Rings of his victims he turns into Akumatized supervillains so they can use the Miraculous powers themselves, making them even more dangerous.
With the loss of the Miraculous except for Ladybug and Cat Noir's, to try and help restore hope to the people of Paris, Grevin Museum curator Veronique prepares to open a new exhibit with wax figurines of the French Miraculous Superhero Team to replace the ones of their Akumatized selves that were there before with the wax statues of Ladybug and Cat Noir, seen in "The Puppeteer 2". However, Chloe, learning that Queen Bee was not among the figurines and Vesperia was, once more uses her father's influence as mayor to tell Veronique that the Hall of Heroes is not to open. If she disobeys, he will close down the wax museum for a hygiene violation, blackmailing her into keeping the figurines of Team Miraculous, sans Ladybug and Cat Noir, in storage. Monarch takes advantage of Veronique's despair and heartbreak and Akumatizes her into Manipula, using her brochures to bring the wax figurines of Team Miraculous to life to help her bring hope to Paris. When confronted by the real Ladybug and Cat Noir, she has the wax figurines of Team Miraculous split up to keep them busy while she takes the wax figurines of Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Minotaurox to City Hall to confront Mayor Bourgeois and Chloe, threatening to destroy City Hall with Cataclysm if Andre does not revoke his decision and allow the Hall of Heroes to open. When Ladybug and Cat Noir arrive, they are forced to fight their own wax figurines before confronting Manipula, especially after Chloe nearly breaks Ladybug's spirit by blaming her for this happening because she kicked Chloe off the team and it wouldn't have happened if Queen Bee was still there instead of Vesperia. However, Cat Noir is restrained by the wax figurine of Minotaurox, while Ladybug is pinned down by Manipula. Only through Cat Noir's encouragement does Ladybug find a way to use her Lucky Charm to take down Manipula, elbowing her hard enough to force Manipula to let Ladybug go as she recoils from the pain, before being knocked out cold and senseless by the chandelier falling on her, allowing Ladybug to recover the rest of the Megakuma and purify it before undoing the damage with Miraculous Ladybug and restoring the wax figurines back to their original places in the museum, unharmed, intact, and inanimate again. Ladybug then gives Veronique a Magical Charm to protect her from further attempts to turn her into a supervillain again, and convinces Mayor Bourgeois to agree to open the Hall of Heroes, much to Chloe's silent fury at not getting her way again.
Gabriel only accelerates the Cataclysm's effects on his body when he attempts to take control of Tomoe's new prototype space jet to akumatize its A.I., A.D.A., into Bugfighter, while also threatening Paris with a large asteroid, forcing Marinette and Adrien as Cosmobug and Astrocat to try and stop both, and every time his plan is about to backfire, Gabriel/Monarch uses Second Chance to try again, until his accelerated Cataclysm injury affects his heart so badly, he collapses before he can even start his plan again from the beginning.
Marinette later goes to Gabriel's Diamonds Dance and discovers that the Adrien she's with at it is really his cousin, Felix, who was there to take revenge on Gabriel and Tomoe for controlling Adrien and Kagami's lives, especially after his mother, Amelie, came in to confront her brother-in-law, only to be escorted out when Gabriel refused to answer her questions. Felix, now using the mended Peacock Miraculous to become Argos, summons the Red Moon sentimonster to banish everyone in Paris, save for him, Adrien, Marinette, and Kagami, so they would be free from any control over their lives from parents like Kagami's mother, Tomoe, or Gabriel, declaring that he is freeing himself, Amelie, and Adrien from Gabriel pushing them around with them unable to stand up to him. To help him realize his mistake, Marinette becomes Ladybug and confronts him, and getting no Lucky Charm this time, gambles that by letting herself be banished with the rest of Paris, Argos/Felix would have to undo his actions upon discovering Marinette's disappearance and believing he got rid of her by accident. Thus, she resigns herself to her fate and accepts it as Argos poofs her away like everyone else. Her plan works as, when Kagami and Adrien angrily confront Argos over what he did, when he shows them where he put Marinette, she's gone, and any attempt to bring her back proves futile, infuriating Adrien as he demands Argos reverse his actions and bring back everyone in Paris immediately. Remorseful and ashamed for his actions that were fueled by his anger, Argos undoes his actions, and once back, Ladybug turns back into Marinette and reunites with Kagami and Adrien, who are relieved she's alright, while Argos retreats in shame and guilt. Guilt-ridden, Argos later releases Red Moon after apologizing to it, breaks down in grief, and cries, ashamed of what he had done in his anger towards his uncle, Gabriel. He later retreats back home to reunite with Amelie, who promises to keep his identity a secret.
Chloe later works with Lila on their most deceitful plan to get Marinette wrongfully expelled from school by forging the papers their classmates were filling out for their future careers or education paths. However, Sabrina, livid at how underhanded that was, tries to refuse to play a part in it, but Chloe and Lila force her into it. Unknown to them, Sabrina was actually working with Marinette on a plan to expose Chloe and Lila, along with their scheme, and get them punished. It works, and the rest of Marinette's classmates and the school faculty finally know the truth about Lila and her deception and lies, but Principal Damocles resigns when Chloe once more flaunts her father's mayoral authority against him and he actually stands up to her and defies Mayor Bourgeois' orders, supported by the class, which protects him from being Akumatized again when his Magical Charm deflects and purifies the Megakuma, to the fury of Gabriel/Monarch. Thanks to Chloe, and Audrey, Mayor Bourgeois is forced to fire Damocles for defying him, but the rest of the school applaud the now ex-principal for making the right choice. Lila leaves the school under her own volition, while Miss Bustier warns Chloe she is going to be under special supervision from here on out as punishment for her and Lila's actions against Marinette and the other students.
After the new principal, Olga Mendeleiev, takes office, Chloe is able to get Marinette expelled days before the end of the school year and Caline Bustier fired via lying that Caline is blackmailing students and Marinette assaulted her, which puts a lot of stress on the pregnant teacher, but unable to defy Mayor Bourgeois' orders like Damocles did, knowing she'd be fired by him as well, Mendeleiev has no choice but to dismiss Caline from her duties and dismiss Marinette from school, just as Chloe wanted. However, Andre is starting to regret his actions with everything he's done just to make Chloe and Audrey happy. His latest decision regarding replacing the Parisian police force with Tomoe Tsurugi's police robots when meeting with her and Gabriel is a defiant refusal to fire Roger and the rest of his lawmen for the automatons. Chloe storming in to complain to her father is met with refusal as well, as he had no intention of having Caline sent to prison, or have Marinette and the rest of her class repeat their grade, but is also told that Adrien is moving to London next year by Gabriel, surprising him. Even Chloe's accusations that if it wasn't for Ladybug and Cat Noir keeping the peace, Monarch would be Mayor of Paris already is met by Andre arguing that Ladybug and Cat Noir are wonderful and everyone loves them. After a heartfelt talk with Gabriel, Mayor Bourgeois still refuses to install Tomoe's robots as the police force, and knows he's failed his duties as Mayor because all his actions were underhanded as he's lied, cheated, and abused his authority just to make Audrey and Chloe happy, and they still treat him like dirt. Unknown to him, Gabriel and Cerise have recorded his entire confession, and Gabriel edits it before releasing it to the public to make him seem even worse than he is. Enraged, Caline is thus vulnerable to being turned into Miss Sans-Culotte, supplied with the Pig Miraculous power of Gift/Jubilation, and when Mayor Bourgeois is confronted in his office by Miss Sans-Culotte, followed by Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Zoe, he announces that he is reinstating Caline to her teacher position and reversing Marinette's expulsion as his final atonement before resigning in disgrace, thus causing Caline to renounce the Megakuma and return to normal, and Ladybug fixes the damage with Miraculous Ladybug. Moments after ex-Mayor Bourgeois leaves with Zoe, Chloe storms in with the paparazzi and Tomoe's police robots to confront Ladybug and Cat Noir, who had been following Miss Sans-Culotte, blaming them for forcing her father to resign, causing them to retreat while they still had the chance upon being outmatched and outnumbered by the police robots.
With Andre having resigned in disgrace as Mayor out of sheer guilt for everything he did under Chloe and Audrey's encouragement just to make them happy while making the people of Paris, especially at Marinette's school, miserable, Chloe takes over as Interim Mayor, labeling Monarch, Ladybug, and Cat Noir, and any Miraculous users, as outlaws, before striking a deal with Monarch behind everyone's backs to become Akumatized as Queen Mayor to use the Miraculous powers provided by Monarch, mainly those of the Horse, Rooster, Bee, Ox, and Turtle, along with Tomoe's police robots, to get revenge on anyone and everyone that ever wronged her in the past, including sending Marinette, her parents, classmates, even her own father Andre, and Adrien to her "detention" maze to remain trapped there so no one can stop her reign. However, using the cover of some of Chloe's monitors that they destroy to conceal themselves so they can transform, Ladybug and Cat Noir free everyone and head to confront Chloe at the Louvre, where she was announcing abolishing the mayoral elections to remain Mayor permanently, only for her to capture Ladybug and Cat Noir in Resistance-reinforced Shell-ters and prepare to expose their true identities to all of Paris as Ladybug and Cat Noir begin to transform back into Marinette and Adrien due to the time-delayed reversion of their transformations having activated when they used Lucky Charm and Cataclysm earlier. Luckily, Ladybug encourages Alya and the other members of the French Miraculous Superhero Team to rally the people of Paris to rise up in revolt against Chloe, and Chloe is left to fend for herself as Gabriel, Tomoe, and Cerise bail on her as she had served her purpose and was no longer needed. Even her mother Audrey, who supported Chloe and encouraged her behavior, flees for her own life when she sees things go sour. Worse for Chloe, Ladybug and Cat Noir overcome their time limits on their transformations through sheer willpower, allowing them to stay transformed indefinitely and use Lucky Charm and Cataclysm without the need to revert back to recuperate, thus saving their secret identities as Marinette and Adrien, which Gabriel witnesses, much to his fury. After Chloe is stripped of her mayoral sash by Caline and it is destroyed, freeing the Megakuma for Ladybug to catch and purify, before Ladybug can give her another Magical Charm to protect her from Akumatization again as Chloe is confronted by everyone she ever bullied in Paris, now glaring daggers at her in fury for her crimes, Andre steps in to atone for his own mistakes and drags a defeated and deluded Chloe off to be punished, which also included divorcing his wife Audrey and exiling both of them from Paris indefinitely, sending them back to New York City. However, Marinette soon learns that Adrien is leaving Paris himself under Gabriel's orders and moving to London after he calls her to break the bad news to her personally that he is leaving Paris under his father's orders and couldn't get him to change his mind. She arrives at the airport just in time to see him off and share a kiss with him before he leaves. Later, as she goes to the end-of-the-school-year party at the Eiffel Tower, still heartbroken and devastated at losing Adrien/Cat Noir, she gets an unwanted phone call from Chloe, hoping to bully Marinette one more time over Adrien's departure, just to satisfy her own ego after losing everything else.
With Chloe gone from Paris for good, and Marinette having finally put her in her place and showed her she can't bully anyone, especially Marinette, any longer, Marinette turns her attention to Monarch, learning of his true identity of Gabriel, Adrien's father, with a little help from Felix as Argos and Kagami, who put on a play with the Once Upon A Time Sentimonster to show Marinette Adrien and Felix's origins as human-sentimonster hybrids from Adrien's mother Emilie and Felix's father Colt using the Peacock Miraculous while it was damaged, resulting in Colt's death and Emilie falling into a permanent coma. In the meantime, Adrien slipped back into Paris to help Marinette as Cat Noir, but was engaged by Gabriel as the Akumatized supervillain Nightormentor, forcing him to retreat back to London after being affected by Nightormentor's dust, causing him to have a nightmare of the dark future from "Cat Blanc", with him cradling Ladybug's petrified form in his arms before she crumbled to ash and dust, leaving him devastated. However, the Megakuma is left behind for Marinette to find and purify as Ladybug, but with no reason to use Lucky Charm and Miraculous Ladybug to fix the damage, the effects of Nightormentor become permanent, setting the stage for Gabriel and Tomoe's final plan.
With everything now set, Gabriel and Tomoe launch their endgame with Operation Perfect Alliance, turning any and all Alliance Ring wearers around the world into Miraculized to hunt down Cat Noir and Ladybug under the belief they kidnapped Adrien and Kagami, using the Alliance Rings and a falsified video of Ladybug and Cat Noir kidnapping Adrien and Kagami to encourage the ring wearers to become Miraculized to rescue them, empowering them with the Horse, Bee, Tiger, and Rooster Miraculous. After Adrien entrusts Plagg and the Cat Miraculous to Ladybug due to no longer feeling like he is worthy to wield it due to his current state of mind, especially after being affected by Nightormentor's dust, Ladybug discovers the ailing secretary to Gabriel, Nathalie, suffering the same effects from using the Peacock Miraculous as Emilie when it was damaged. After warning Ladybug of Gabriel's true plan to use the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous to wish Emilie back from her comatose state, but in the process, it will require a sacrifice in return, leading to the universe being erased and re-created in accordance with Gabriel's wish and to maintain balance, Nathalie succumbs to her own illness and falls into a comatose state just like Emilie as well, to Ladybug's devastation.
Combining the two Miraculous to become Bug Noire after Monarch discovers her civilian identity, she faces Monarch in battle. During the fight, she calls Monarch out on his insanity and how crazy his wish is to bring back his wife Emilie and heal his Cataclysm injury so the Agreste family can be reunited, and for how Adrien and Kagami will be made the new icons in his new world created from his wish, but Monarch refuses to give up on his insane plans, believing he's come too far now to give up and turn back. After a hard fought battle, Bug Noire finally manages to disarm Monarch of the Butterfly Miraculous, reverting him back into Gabriel, after using Emilie's cryo-pod to distract him so she could disarm him by threatening to attack it, forcing Gabriel to protect it and leave himself vulnerable. When he tries to have Nooroo bring him the Miraculous back, Marinette tells him that, as Guardian of the Miraculous, she has officially renounced his claim to the Butterfly Miraculous by disarming him of it, and intends to give it to someone who will use it properly for good and not evil. When Gabriel still tries to attack her with the Miraculous rings he still was wearing, including the Bee Miraculous with Venom, Marinette stops his attack cold and delivers an ultimatum to him:
However, taking pity on Gabriel, knowing he and Nathalie don't have much time left before the effects of Cataclysm's necrosis on Gabriel and Nathalie's use of the Peacock Miraculous while it was damaged kills them, she attempts to tell him that Emilie never wanted this. Showing him the last video that Emilie made before she slipped into her coma that was addressed to Nathalie, in which Emilie asked Gabriel to give up on his obsession with trying to revive her and just let her go as Adrien needed him more, and Emilie knew that if Gabriel made the right choices, Adrien would be loved and have the freedom to decide his own life, Gabriel appears to break down in grief and shame over his actions and how he has ruined Adrien's life, as when Emilie went into her coma, it was as if the world came to an end for Gabriel and he couldn't go on without her as she meant everything to him. Marinette reverts back from Bug Noire to offer her help, but Gabriel decides to end things on his terms with his own body about to succumb to the necrosis caused by Cat Noir's Cataclysm he inflicted on himself intentionally previously as it has already started to crumble into ash. To do that, he paralyzes Marinette with Venom, and finally gets the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous. Transforming Plagg and Tikki into their true forms and then fusing them into Gimmi, the Kwami of Reality and the representation of destruction and rebirth, Gabriel prepares to make his wish, but before he does, he relinquishes the Miraculous Alliance Rings he was wearing, freeing the Kwamis, and also asks Marinette not to tell Adrien of Gabriel's evil acts, and to remember him as trying to be a good father. With that, Gabriel asks Gimmi to look inside his heart and soul for what he wishes for and to sacrifice in return to maintain universal balance, and understanding his request, though surprised at first upon learning of his choices, Gimmi grants it. Marinette watches as Gabriel and Emilie disappear into the afterlife, before shielding her eyes as Gimmi unleashes her power to erase the universe and re-create it in the image of Gabriel's wish, taking Marinette and everyone else with it in the process.
Fast forward one month later, and Marinette and everyone else are unharmed as they live their new lives in the new universe created by Gabriel's wish, where Gabriel is hailed as a hero for having sacrificed himself to end Monarch's threat, the Alliance Rings have been destroyed and reformed into a statue honoring Gabriel, Tomoe Tsurugi has taken over Gabriel's company under the surmise of "continuing his legacy", Adrien is living in Paris again under the guardianship of a healthy Nathalie, his aunt Amelie, and cousin Felix, is in a relationship with Marinette, including sharing a kiss that is not interrupted, and the city is becoming more eco-friendly under its new Mayoress, Miss Bustier. All their classmates/fellow Miraculous users are also having a pool party at the Agreste Mansion as well. Marinette also returns to Adrien the Graham de Vanily twin rings containing his Amok due to his sentimonster origins from the Peacock Miraculous when Emilie used it, despite the consequences for using a Miraculous while it was damaged, allowing him to truly be free and no longer being controlled by anyone through them, especially his father Gabriel. Marinette has also managed to forge the Miraculous back into their original forms, thanks to the Miraculous Grimoire she recovered from Gabriel's lair, and her duty as Guardian of them after being given the position by Master Fu, but is still upset she was unable to recover the Butterfly Miraculous after the final battle with Monarch/Gabriel, being consoled by Alya and Grandmaster Su-Han that she'll get it back, along with Nooroo. Nevertheless, to prevent a repeat of what happened before when they were all together, making them much easier to steal, she opts instead to split the Miraculous among Team Miraculous on a permanent basis, allowing Alya, Kagami, Ivan, Luka, Juleka, Nino, Alix, Zoe, and the others, even Felix as Argos, to join her and Adrien as Ladybug and Cat Noir, with protecting Paris and using the Miraculous for good so they won't fall into the hands of evil again.
Unknown to Marinette, the Butterfly Miraculous was recovered by Lila Rossi/Cerise Bianca, who under a new alias as "Iris Verde", planned to use it against Marinette when they next meet, but Lila is attacked by a mysterious force that catches her by complete surprise, leaving her fate unknown.
=== Miraculous Paris ===
In the special, "Miraculous Paris", while Monarch deals with his Cataclysm injury, and Alya assures Marinette they will get the other Miraculous back from him, Marinette is startled when Alya transforms into the Kamikotized superhero Ubiquity to allow the Gabriel of a parallel universe, using the Butterfly Miraculous for good as Betterfly, to emerge and ask for Ladybug and Cat Noir's help, moments before being followed through Ubiquity's portal by Marinette's own parallel evil self, Shadybug, and her partner-in-crime, Adrien's evil parallel self, Claw Noir. As Betterfly carries Marinette to safety, he gets her to the Eiffel Tower, only to then be attacked by Shadybug and Claw Noir, with Claw Noir threatening to use a Cataclysm powerful enough to destroy the planet if Betterfly doesn't surrender. As Marinette watches as Betterfly surrenders and engages Shadybug and Claw Noir in battle, Marinette is convinced that Betterfly is a Monarch from a parallel universe that fights on the side of good and not evil while her own parallel self and that of Adrien fight for evil. Tikki confirms Marinette's thoughts by explaining about the Multiverse and how there are parallel universes out there, but a human never has enough time in their lives to learn everything about them. Tikki also explains that Shadybug and Claw Noir, due to using their Miraculous for evil, have overridden the safety features when used by younger bearers, so while they can use their full powers, it is coming at a terrible price as it is using up more and more of their life forces with each use of Lucky Charm and Cataclysm alongside the energy from the parallel Tikki and Plagg. After hearing that, Marinette turns into Ladybug to help Betterfly. Later joined by Cat Noir, they are soon forced to retreat after Claw Noir forces Cat Noir to use his Cataclysm on Claw Noir, leaving a massive crack and scar on Claw Noir's chest, to Cat Noir's horror. Betterfly Kamikotizes Cat Noir into Celesticat to fly him and Ladybug to safety.
Once safe in the sewers, Betterfly explains to Ladybug and Cat Noir of his origins back in the parallel universe where he is from: ruled by The Supreme, who possesses all the Miraculous there, Betterfly managed to steal the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculous from The Supreme, but later use of them led to him hurting his wife, the parallel Emilie. Guilt-ridden by it, Betterfly vowed to use the Butterfly Miraculous for good, rather than evil like with Monarch, despite how good deeds in the parallel universe are a crime in the eyes of The Supreme. He hoped Ladybug could help him make his dream of improving his universe come true, but Marinette explains she can't due to Monarch's theft of the Miraculous in her world she was supposed to protect. Nevertheless, turning back into Ladybug and Cat Noir, Marinette and Adrien agree to help Betterfly.
They soon see Shadybug and Claw Noir calling them out, and Alya arrives to show the three good Miraculous users footage in which, having allied with Monarch, Shadybug and Claw Noir intend to get the primary universe's Ladybug and Cat Miraculous to summon Gimmi to save themselves from their doomed futures from using their own Miraculous for evil. Knowing they can't let that happen, Ladybug has the parallel Gabriel loan her the Butterfly Miraculous, allowing her to become Ladyfly. Kamikotizing the parallel Gabriel into Guardian Angel, Ladyfly then stores his Kamikotized object in the parallel universe to protect it from Monarch thanks to Alya being turned into Ubiquity again to access the parallel universe before Gabriel becomes Guardian Angel. As a safety precaution, remembering that the Butterfly Miraculous has a limited range to detect Akumatizations/Kamikotizations, Ladybug and Cat Noir fly Betterfly and Alya to London as Cosmobug and Astrocat to carry out their plan as that was well out of range for Monarch to detect use of Betterfly's Butterfly Miraculous and reverse it.
After Monarch undoes Ubiquity's transformation thanks to his Butterfly Miraculous, he, Shadybug, and Claw Noir engage Ladyfly, Cat Noir, and Guardian Angel, but thanks to Guardian Angel's protection, Monarch's attempts to paralyze Ladyfly and Cat Noir are ineffective, and he's forced to retreat after realizing it was a trap when he can't find Guardian Angel's object to reverse the Kamikotization. Meanwhile, Ladyfly overpowers Shadybug, and upon seeing her parallel self's deteriorating condition from using her Ladybug Miraculous without its limiter for evil, Marinette reverts back and encourages her parallel self to reform and find happiness in the world, no matter how bad things get and how horribly is has treated her, with or without magic. Moved by her prime self's words after initially blowing it off in a villainous breakdown over her doomed future and how different their universes are, Shadybug uses her own Miraculous Ladybug to undo all the damage from their fights, which also heals her body and gives her a new uniform due to her reformation and using the Ladybug Miraculous for good instead of evil. Adrien was also able to convince his own parallel self to do the same and turn good as well.
However, before Ubiquity can send the reformed Shadybug and Claw Noir, now calling themselves Paw Noir and Ladybug, home, she senses Monarch attempting to use Sublimation to try and travel to the other parallel universes. Prime Ladybug is willingly Kamikotized into Ladybiquity to stop him, as this allows her to sync with her counterparts in other parallel universes, no matter if they were using the Ladybug Miraculous, Cat Miraculous, or neither, allowing them to become Ubiquity/Ladybiquity/Ubiquinoire as well, and after Monarch fails to secure the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous from four parallel universes, he retreats to his lair defeated, vowing to destroy Ladybug throughout the Multiverse.
With the Multiverse safe, Betterfly, Paw Noir, and Ladybug prepare to return home to fight The Supreme, but not before thanking the prime Ladybug and Cat Noir for giving them their hopes back, and also encouraging Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Alya that they will defeat Monarch and get their own Miraculous back from him. Alya becomes Ubiquity one last time to allow Betterfly, Paw Noir, and Ladybug to return home, before Marinette and Alya head back to the bakery for some breakfast following last night's battle.
==Powers and abilities==
===As a civilian===
Marinette has talent in fashion design. She sketches ideas in a notebook, and she can sew by hand or with a machine. Using computer software to create graphic designs is also an ability Marinette possesses for creating things. She wears her creations, such as her little purse, and she also makes things for others, like Adrien's scarf and the bakery's logo. 
Her skills in this field are exceptional for an amateur such as when her pigeon-styled derby hat that she made is good enough to be recognized by a professional designer, Gabriel, even though she has never made one before. She is also very skilled at video games, easily beating Max and getting the highest score in the entire school.
Marinette has high stamina, endurance, and agility even in her civilian form as displayed in Timebreaker. Marinette has also run long distances without stopping in several episodes. She is also quite stealthy, as she frequently sneaks up on Adrien and other people without being noticed.
===As Ladybug===
Ladybug has much more incredible superhuman physical abilities, such as strength, speed, agility and almost near invulnerability to physical damage. She has remarkable talent with wielding her yo-yo, like using it as a grappling hook, a rope to restrain others, a projectile, and if she spins fast enough, even a shield. After an Akuma/Megakuma is released from its corrupted object, she can open her yo-yo and throw it to grab it, remove the energy that Hawk Moth charged it with, and release it as a normal butterfly.
Her special power, Lucky Charm, helps her by summoning an object that she uses to achieve her objective, it would often be being to stop a villain. However, it drains her power and reverts her to Marinette shortly afterward, so she has to use it wisely. Once the villain is dealt with, Ladybug can throw her Lucky Charm object into the air and use the Miraculous Ladybug, which will make it revert to energy and fix all of the damage done since the villain was created.
In her aqua and ice forms, she gains the ability to breathe underwater and ice skate proficiently. As Cosmo Bug, she has the ability to survive in space.
===As Lady Noire and Multicat===
She has all of Cat Noir's powers.
===As Multimouse===
The Mouse Miraculous' special power, Multitude, allows her to shrink in size and split into multiple copies of herself, which are all as sentient as the original. To return to her normal size, she can fuse the copies back into herself.
===As Dragon Bug===
When Ladybug unifies Longg with the Ladybug Miraculous, the Dragon Miraculous' special power allows her to transform into three elements: wind, water, or lightning. Unlike with most other Miraculous' special powers, all three elements can be used before the countdown triggers for her to transform back to civilian form.
==Trivia==
*The "Ladybug Vision" shown after using her Lucky Charm is not a superpower, but instead a tool to allow the viewer to see what Ladybug is planning to do before it happens.Thomas Astruc's Twitter
*Marinette is similar to Randy Cunningham from Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja.
**Both main characters are in high school.
**Both wear red and black.
**Both solve their problems quickly.
**Both have a double life.
*Although not having any romantic feelings towards Cat Noir, in the webisode "Cat Noir as seen by Marinette", Marinette reveals that she's aware he may have a crush on her and she admits she might have given him a chance if Adrien hadn't been around.
**As of Season 5, however, due to the love square now being reversed (Marinette, as Ladybug, loves Cat Noir, who loves Marinette; Adrien loves Marinette who loves Cat Noir, Adrien's superhero alter-ego), she seems to have a crush on Cat Noir.
*So far, Marinette has stolen both Adrien's, Alya's, and Chloé's phones during the series. Ironically, however, both thefts were unintentional and involved her trying to hide a fact from the respective owners.
*In "Stormy Weather", Marinette's infatuation with Adrien is revealed to even include plans for a family. The names of their supposed children are Hugo, Emma, and Louis—all traditional French names. Aside from these, she also appears fond of dogs and especially hamsters. 
**She briefly considers a black cat as well, but she rejects the idea.
*Thomas revealed on Twitter that Marinette and Adrien will be seen as a "real couple" at some point in the show.
**In "Gorizilla", she was referred to as Adrien's girlfriend, though in that case, it was due to public misperception.
**During "Oblivio", through their amnesiac state Marinette and Adrien briefly become a couple until their memories were restored.
**In "Cat Blanc", they were in a romantic relationship in an alternative future.
*Thomas noted that Marinette would be hard to akumatize, as she is an optimistic person.
**She was almost akumatized in "Zombizou", but her negative emotions faded away before the akuma could infect an object of hers. This is seen again in "Chameleon".
**However, in the episode "Ladybug", she was infected with a Scarlet Akuma, but the akumatization stopped due to Catalyst's (Nathalie's) sickness from the Peacock Miraculous.
**Marinette was almost akumatized in an alternate future as seen in "Cat Blanc", but Cat Noir used Cataclysm on the akuma.
*Her responsibilities as a superhero not only include fighting akumatized villains but also patrolling and many other things.
*In the French dub of The Evillustrator, Cat Noir addressed her civilian self as "Princess" twice. It has since become a famous trope in fanfictions.
*In "Sandboy", Marinette's greatest fears are Adrien being in love with Chloé and losing her powers as Ladybug, rendering her as a useless superhero, thus being unable to save the day.
*She had got a new suit and a motorcycle in Season 4. The modified suit triggers when she uses her lucky charm.
*In "Gang of Secrets", she revealed to Alya Césaire that she is Ladybug.
