## Other Information

### AU Status

Active

As Rena Rouge, Alya would join the French Miraculous Team, consisting of herself, Ladybug, Chat Noir, Nino Lahiffe/Carapace, Chloé Bourgeois/Queen Bee, Luka Couffaine/Viperion, and Kagami Tsurugi/Ryuko. Prior to one mission, when Ladybug arrived to give them their Miraculouses, Alya and Nino learned one one another's identities (although they were skeptical already), and promised to keep it a secret. Eventually, Alya would discover that Marinette was actually Ladybug after the latter broke down due to the pressure of her double, Alya promised to keep it a secret between them both, despite going against her and Nino's rule of not keeping secrets.

Several months later, in 2019, Alya would begin doing reports on the Avengers before being approached by them. Upon being asked questions about Ladybug, Alya became worried and contacted Marinette about them.

## Personality

### As Alya

Alya is rather energetic, passionate, funny, confident, adventurous, yet down to earth. Her foresight has come in handy many times such as posting her video of Ladybug on her blog first, before showing it to Marinette on her cellphone, mindful that something might go wrong knowing how clumsy her friend is. When it comes to anything involving superheroes, particularly Ladybug and Chat Noir, she easily becomes very excited and has a single goal of updating her blog quickly. She was very excited when the Avengers wanted to speak with her until they began questioning her about Ladybug's powers and abilities. Sometimes, she goes too far, such as sneaking into someone's locker or getting caught in harm's way during an akuma attack.

Alya is extremely loyal, supportive, helpful, and sometimes pushy, such as when she goes out of her way to encourage and (sometimes literally) push Marinette into spending time with Adrien Agreste. She is also very stubborn when it comes to doing things her way. At times, she can be a bit demanding at times just as keeping Nino in line about revealing Marinette's crush on Adrien, as well as have a dramatic side to her personality. Having to babysit her younger siblings at home, she is great with kids, though sometimes she pushes her responsibility of watching them on Marinette so she can go on dates with her boyfriend, Nino Lahiffe.

Alya doesn't like being undermined or doubted by others, especially when it comes to her work. If someone points out something wrong to her, she is too stubborn to admit they are right. Though her research is generally right when she takes her time, Alya tends to jump to conclusions. She also has a habit of never checking her sources or doing ethical investigating of her blog posts, while demanding others to provide proof for their claims, she doesn't do that herself often.

Her reporter's edge seems to have calmed down thanks to her alter ego as Rena Rouge being aware that there are lines when it comes to exposing secrets learning that despite not being told everything as friends there was still trust between them.

Alya holds great admiration and respect for the two superheroes, especially Ladybug, wishing to know anything and everything about her. Much more, she wildly dreams of knowing Ladybug's identity, not once thinking about the consequences of posting the information on her blog. This would ultimately change when she learned that Marinette was Ladybug, and opted to keep her identity a secret.

Despite keeping secrets with her best friend, Alya is strongly against keeping secrets from her boyfriend Nino Lahiffe. Leading to her to struggle in keeping her identity as Rena Rouge hidden from him. This would change upon Ladybug giving them both their Miraculouses at the same time, despite the fact she already deduced that Nino was Carapace. After leaning Ladybug's identity, she began to once struggle, but put it aside nonetheless for the safety of her friend.

### As Rena Rouge

As Rena Rouge, Alya retains most of her personality traits such as her undying loyalty, trustworthiness, and curiosity. She is supportive of her allies, whom she gets very excited about working with, causing her to be a bit of a scatterbrain. A fast learner, she takes quickly to her abilities. She and Carapace share a strong bond due to them knowing each other's identities, and are often seen working together. She was immensely excited to work with the Avengers, but was often at odds with Iron Man, due to his skepticism of the Miraculous powers.
