Multiverse

> It's just.. I've lived for billions of years in every single one of these universes simultaneously, and they're simply aren't enough hours in your lifetime to tell you even the tiniest bit about it. So, I choose to stick to the basics and make the most of the time we have together.

The **Multiverse** is a quantum construct comprised of billions of different universes where the story of all the Miraculous shows takes place.

## Summary

The Multiverse was created alongside Creation itself and is comprised of an infinity of different universes (at least billions of them according to Tikki). Each one being unique; some almost identical to each other, others very different from one another. The reality itself in each universe can vary, going from three-dimensional to two-dimensional or even being like a drawing from a comic book.

While all individuals that possess counterparts in different universes are their own person and have different lives from one another, Kwamis are omnipresent in the Multiverse, meaning that they live simultaneously in all the universes, having memories of their alternate lifetimes in them. That said, they choose not to bring up their other individual lives with mortals in each of the universes, as there is not enough time in the human lifespan to explain even a little bit about it. The kwamis prefer to enjoy the time they have with their human partners.

## History

When the concept of Creation came to be, an infinity of universes were created together, each one varying in its history and reality. Because kwamis are the embodiment of abstract concepts that exist in all universes, they are omnipresent, being able to live simultaneously in all of them. Even through they are aware of all of their many simultaneous counterparts' different lives. The Kwamis choose not to diverge their other lifetimes to mortals as there isn't enough time in such a short lifespan explain even the tiniest bit about it.

In "Miraculous Paris", in order to get help to fight Shadybug and Claw Noir, the villainous holders of the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous respectively in his universe, Betterfly kamikotizes Alya Césaire into Ubiquity to get to the universe where Ladybug and Cat Noir live. In their efforts to acquire his Butterfly Miraculous, Shadybug and Claw Noir follow him there, where they face their respective counterparts.

After failing to get Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, Monarch, unwilling to admit defeat, uses the power of Sublimation to get the ability to travel to other universes in order to get the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses. However, he is stopped by Ladybug who, thanks to Betterfly's Kamikotization, acquires the ability to manifest herself in her many counterparts and, in this way, prevent the villain from completing his objective. When Monarch finally gives up, Ladybug is dekamikotized, so that Betterfly, Ladybug (alternate) and Paw Noir can return to their home universe.

## List of known universes

***Note:** The official designation for each universe is unknown. **Official monikers** for a universe that are stated by the creator are in **bold**. Names that are not in bold and instead are in quotation marks are unofficial. The unofficial names are based on the known characteristics of the universe.*

## Trivia

* Because both Tikki and Plagg exist in all universes, whenever they fused together to form Gimmi and grant a wish, that wish only reshapes the universe they belong to. It's unknown what would happen if one version of Gimmi would be summoned outside of their respective universe.
* It's unknown if it's possible to consider alternative timelines as part of the multiverse as their own universe or just versions of one universe, since some universes seem to mirror each other as what would happen if some individuals had made different choices of the one they had made.
	+ An example of that is the Quantic Universe and Betterfly's universe, where the latter's Marinette became a villain because she never made any friends and, therefore, was unable to stand up against Chloé Bourgeois, continuing to be a target of her heavy bullying.
	+ The Adrien of Betterfly's universe, unlike his counterpart from the Quantic Universe, was not able to move on from his mother's death, resulting in him resenting his father from moving on and become bitter with his life.
	+ Alternate Gabriel Agreste was able to move on from his wife's death, what inspired him to become Betterfly and use his power for good, unlike his other counterpart, whose inability to move on and obsession in bringing her back are what led him to become the villain he was.
	+ It's possible that Scarabella's universe may be a product of what could have happened if Master Fu had chosen Alya to be the holder of the Ladybug Miraculous, as he did consider choosing her before settling with Marinette.
	+ Some universes can have knowledges of other universe. Or sometimes even other universes miraculous as seen in TOAACIE ( Sparise's show) or in TOCAJ when they accessed other miraculouses.
* The Bumpix, AOKNAD's, Akuela's and Mister Shark's Universe are the only universe in which there is no evil holder of the Butterfly Miraculous.
