## Appearance

### Physical Appearance

Lillian is a slender teenage girl with French heritage on her mother's side. She is of average height for a girl of her age. She has bright blue-green eyes and slightly longer than chin-length brown hair that's dyed at the tips. Her hair is almost always worn down.

### Civilian Attire

Lillian wears a teal t-shirt with four pink flowers in the corner, light pink leggings, black and white slip on shoes, and a jean jacket. Her hair is dyed teal at the tips, and she also wears thin, black, oval framed glasses. Her miraculous is a necklace, which when not activated, has a golden chain and a horizontal, teal stone that's cut into a rectangular shape.

### As Athena

Athena's suit is white on the top half, and light blue on the bottom. The colors are divided by a curved 'v' shape that lies slightly above her waist. On her shoulders, she has silver-blue feather designs made to look like wings. She has a blue rope that's threaded with black, that when not in use, is wrapped around her waist. Her mask follows the same color scheme as the rest of her suit. The miraculous turns blue and is divided by four silver streaks. The chain turns silver and wings appear in by the sides. The teal in her hair becomes white, and her eyes become bright blue. To complete the owl look, five blue tail feathers appear on the back of her waist.

### As Kitsune

Kitsune's mask has the same pattern as Athena's but with orange instead of blue, and she has fabric fox ears. Her hair gets longer and streaked with orange, and pulled into a low ponytail with a gold and black band, and her eyes turn violet. Her tips are white, resembling a fox's tail. She has black arms and legs that end in a swirling pattern that is outlined in gold. Her top is orange on the top half and white on the bottom, outlined with gold, with a black swan-necked collar with a golden streak in the middle, also outlined in gold. Her lower half is orange with white and gold streaks, and she has an orange, fabric fox tail that glitters with gold that ends at her knees.

### As Katrina

Her blue-green eyes become green like a cat's. Her brown hair is longer and braided with a single green streak going through it. She dons black fabric cat ears edged with green. She has smooth black clawed gloves trimmed in green. Two crisscrossing lines of green wrap around her waist, to the back of which a silver staff and a black fabric cat tail are attached. Her black boots reach her knees, and have green wedges that give her extra height.

### As Brushstroke

Her hair is brown and teal, and is pulled back into a ponytail that resembles a paint brush. She wears a white beret and a dark aqua mask. She has a white and teal top with a swan necked collar, and a dark teal and white bottom with a short teal skirt.

### As Lockette

Her hair is jet black, and pulled into a tight bun. Her skin is pale, almost pure white. She wears a golden blouse that billows at the sleeves, and underneath it was another shirt, this with a black swan-necked collar. She has a pair of black pants with wide openings at the ankles. Golden boots with high heels rest on her feet, that click as she walks. Around her waist is a large silver key ring, to which several keys and locks are attached. She wears a silver locket with a lock and key emblem, and, unlike her other forms, her eyes remain the same blue-green shade she normally has, surrounded by a black and gold mask.

## Personality

Lillian is normally bright and optimistic. She is a big reader and especially loves the Harry Potter series. She is loyal to those she loves and is willing to give others a second chance. Like her friend Alya, she is fascinated by the superheroine Ladybug, but respects the need for secrecy. She can have a hot temper, but has learned to cool herself down. She hates to see others being bullied and often stands up for the weaker side. Lillian can be very sassy at times, though it is normally only directed to bullies such as Chloé.

As Athena, she is bolder and braver, and like Cat Noir, cracks many puns. She still retains her ingenuity and is a creative thinker. Not much scares her and she often takes great pride in annoying Cat Noir.

As Kitsune, she retains most of her personality as Lillian, but also has some of her sass as Athena.

As Katrina, she becomes much more sassier, but over retains the same traits she does as Athena.

As Lockette, she is cold and calculating, but also obsessed with finding Annabeth. She is good at finding weaknesses, and uses them to her advantage.

## Abilities

As Lillian, she is naturally bright, and has a knack for comforting others. She has great adapting skills and is an artist and writer. It is said briefly that she plays the trumpet. Lillian can be seen as a debater, as she is quick to talk and often makes good points.

As Athena, she is very flexible and has great reflexes. She is faster and stronger and is nearly invincible. She wields her rope with great skill and uses it to move swiftly if she doesn't have time to activate her wings. Her special power, Whirlwind, allows her to control the wind for five minutes and then has five minutes until she detransforms. Another ability of her miraculous is that she can activate light blue bird wings, which allow her to fly.

As Kitsune, she has most of the same abilities as Athena, but greater agility and she wields a flute instead of her rope. Her special power is Mirage, which allows her to create one illusion.

As Katrina, she has the same abilities as Kitsune or Athena, minus the flying ability as Athena. Her special power is Cataclysm, though she has yet to use it.

As Lockette, she has enhanced strength, speed, and agility, and can trap anyone in her locket by throwing her locks at them.

## Relationships

### Nathaniel Kurtzberg

Nathaniel is Lilian's love interest. As the series progresses, they become closer friends. It is revealed in Miraculous: A New Hero, that he has feelings for her too, but Lillian doesn't suspect it until Miraculous: Minerva. Despite having a crush on him, Lillian values their friendship more than being a possible couple. It is revealed in The Next Generation of Heroes that they eventually get together and married.

### Unna

Unna and Lillian are very close. Unna will always try to push Lillian into doing the right thing. Lillian can occasionally be fed up with Unna's hotheadedness, such as when she first called Tropic Storm a poopy head. Nevertheless, their bond is deep enough that Unna can be visibly saddened whenever she's separated from Lillian.

### Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir

Lillian and Adrien, while not on the surface, are good friends. They bond quickly over their shared sense of humor, and as Athena, she takes every chance she can get to mess with him. In Miraculous: Athena, they learn each other's identities, but they keep them safe.

### Fern Eastwood/Firefly

Lillian and Fern have a strong friendship in Miraculous: Firefly and Athena, despite having only known each other for a few days.
