**AOKNAD (aka Adventures of Kitty Noire and Dogboy)** is a show inspired by Miraculous created by @AOKNAD: Adventures of Kitty Noire and Dogboy (aka Anna, Bagheera Noire) on YouTube. The show follows three main protagonists: Alina Mikelle (the holder of the black cat miracle stone), Raven Parker (the holder of the dog miracle stone) and yet unknown character. The show has a complex story that is yet not fully unraveled. Every season has its own theme to it and characters highlighted, but they all are connected by a common mystery and prophecy coming true.

## Synopsis

### Overall synopsis

Obtain a superpower, defeat villains, help friends, uncover the truth - what could be better? Alina and Raven are holders of the Most Ancient Power (or as they say these days, Miracle Stone) of the cat and the dog. They try to find out who targets their schoolmates, turning them into controlled dolls and are already responsible for others’ safety. But the truth lies deep in the past… AOKNAD, which stands for Adventures of Kitty Noire and Dogboy, is more than a story with a simple plot. The animated series, created by Anna “Bagheera” Noire, brings up relevant and painful topics that are “hidden under the carpet” nowadays. While enjoying colorful pictures and amazing animations, which are being drawn on a phone with a finger, you see episodes from Anna’s past life.

#### Show's motto/main concept phrase

"Everyone has their own animals caged inside, but can choose whether use it for the greater good or let it break out to go feral."

### Season 1 Synopsis

Main characters Alina Mikelle and Raven Parker are honoured by getting the chaos stone of imitation (cat miracle stone) and the zigzag stone of intuition (dog miracle stone). Emily Magentia (Sting Bee, main antihero/antagonist of season 1) is trying to revive her family and she is the owner of the chaos stone of manipulation (bee/wasp/hornet miracle stone. But turns out it is just the beginning of a huge journey of revealing the truth lying deep beneath the surface.

## Production

#### How does AOKNAD Production work

Originally first idea of the show came up on 1 June 2018, later on Anna kept attempting making an actual episode since 2019, came on youtube as Kitty Noire (because Anna was on youtube under the name of Rembee Channel in 2018-2019 before, there is a long kind of private story behind character named Rembee though) on 16 January 2020. The first successful attempt of making full episode was finally made on 29 September 2021 (The Beginning: Cupid Outdated Canon Version). Every episode gets better in graphics or other categories with each time.

Production of AOKNAD works like this: there are working periods/rounds (time Anna works on the episode) these rounds are divided in parts with intermissions in between (when episode worked on gets a release while Anna is busy + resting). **Note:** **A.** there were no intermissions or breaks for Anna till October 2023 since 2018-2019, even though there were attempts to take a break in rounds 3-4 but Anna always would come back to work in advance. Working on phone with fingers all the time hurt her arms' nerves + she became increasingly even busier later on round 6 so she made the decision to add actual intermissions for her own good. **B.** In rounds 4-6 several episode were in production at the same time until some time. **C.** Anna is planning to slowly work on computer instead of phone, currently she is learning the new software.

#### About the creator and AOKNAD Team

**Anna** (born on 11 December 2006) also known as **Bagheera Noire** (formerly known as Alina or Kitty Noire) is currently 17 years old, Ukrainian amateur self-taught artist and creator of AOKNAD. She used to be an amateur musician (pianist, graduated music school), going to graduate school this year and is a professional competitive swimmer. Also Anna is a graphic designer.

The team itself has **Anna** *(who does all animation/art and accepts help with it really rarely which she plans to change in s2, the most of voice acting roles, music composure, editing, directing and writing)*, **Mary** *(Anna's best irl friend and the manager/main assistant of the show, arranger of special events, writing critic, one of the voice actors)*, **various voice** **actors, editing helper** (was rarely in work) and **translators**. There were a helper team for Anna to draw some frames in rounds 1-2, but it was fired due to lack of efficiency and inexperience of the helpers, so Anna works in solo till this day.
