Emilie Agreste

* Emilie
* Peacock holder

**Emilie Agreste** (née **Graham de Vanily**) is a former leading actress in the film *Solitude*. She is also the wife of Gabriel Agreste, the mother of Adrien Agreste, the twin sister of Amelie Graham de Vanily and the aunt of Félix Fathom.

Emilie is a former Peacock Miraculous holder, she used the Miraculous to transform into **Le Paon**, with the Miraculous' former damaged nature being the cause of her passing. Currently, she is in Gabriel's repository, where she is being kept in a glass coffin.

It was revealed that Adrien and Félix are Senti-beings fashioned by Emilie, as **Le Paon** due to the fact that she and her twin sister, Amelie are infertile and because of this shared factor, couldn't have children of their own. Amelie inquired to Emilie about how Adrien happened because of this and Emilie ended up confessing to her sister that Adrien wasn't conceived normally, and so Amelie asked Emilie to make Félix too, hence why they look nigh-identical. Adrien acts like Emilie because his Amok is within her wedding band, while Félix's is within Gabriel's wedding band.

## Personality

Not much is known about Emilie, except she is stated to be kind-hearted and loving towards her family. Proven when throughout their use of the jewels, their promise was to keep their son out of harm's way. According to Gabriel, she was stubborn and headstrong when it came to other people's safety meaning she also cared and loved other people, similar to Adrien. Gabriel also says in the episode "Simon Says" that Emilie was "way too overly dramatic". That could also imply that, unlike her husband, Emilie didn't resort to drastic measures to fix a problem.

Since Gabriel calls the use of the Peacock Miraculous "their" mistake, it's implied that Emilie knew that the jewel was damaged too. However, for some unknown reason, she continued the use of the jewel either with or without her husband's knowledge, showing her recklessness, rebelliousness, and determination like her son, Adrien.

Like her husband, Emilie didn't fully account for the consequences of her actions by using the jewel that put her in her condition everything spiraled into a mess causing the very people she cared and loved about to be in serious danger.

However, in her weakened state she became aware and worried of her husband's obsession with the Miraculous and that it wouldn't be easy to stop him and also she entrusted Nathalie to help him and to take care of her son, knowing that Adrien will need both of them in her absence, even leaving prerecorded video messages to both Gabriel and Nathalie before passing, which also demonstrates that she was aware of her fate and accepted it, unlike her husband.

And yet, just like her husband, she too knew so little about the Miraculouses as they didn't know back then that the jewels were under the care of the Order of the Guardians. Had they known about them or Su-Han sooner then, maybe her affliction could've been cured long ago.

## Abilities

### As a civilian

Emilie is a professional actress, implying considerable skill in this field. In "Feast", after doing a duet with Plagg on the piano, Adrien mentions that she always made him laugh like, implying at some point she learned to play the piano. She also used to teach her son.

### As Le Paon

Emilie had enhanced physical abilities, a hand fan as her tool, and Amokization as her superpower, allowing her to fashion sentimonsters from the emotions of herself or others.
