**Juleka Couffaine** is a student in Miss Bustier's class at Collège Françoise Dupont. She is also the younger twin sister of Luka Couffaine.

In "Reflekta", after being locked in the bathroom by Sabrina under orders from Chloé to prevent Juleka from participating in the class photo, she is akumatized by Hawk Moth and becomes **Reflekta**, a flamboyant supervillain who can transform people into lookalikes of herself.

In "Reflekdoll", after Juleka backs out of modeling in the photoshoot for Marinette's design and is not given a chance to explain herself, Hawk Moth reakumatizes her into Reflekta. She is also amokized by Mayura, which caused her frustration and misery to form Reflekdoll, a doll-themed sentimonster that can also transform people into Reflekta lookalikes.

In "Félix", after being fooled by titular character into thinking that Adrien didn't appreciate his friends' kind videos, Juleka is reakumatized into Reflekta yet again along with Rose into Princess Fragrance and Alya into Lady Wifi, the three form the **Punishers Trio**, a group of akumatized supervillains who want to get revenge on the disguised Félix, who later convinces Hawk Moth to let him help them, as he is after some jewelry too.

In "Ladybug", Lila orchestrates a plan that gets Marinette in trouble for things that she did not do. Cheating on a school test, pushing her down a flight of stairs and stealing a fox pendant from her, convincing almost everyone Marinette did all those things. Hawk Moth seizes the opportunity Lila handed him to reakumatize Nathalie into Catalyst who powers him up into Scarlet Moth again. He creates several scarlet akumas to akumatized the people at the school into scarlet akumatized supervillains, including reakumatizing Juleka into a scarlet version of Reflekta. But Nathalie's use of the damaged Peacock Miraculous comes back to bite her. Hawk Moth to detransforms and check on her, abandoning his plans and causing the deakumatization of Nathalie, and therefore, all of his scarlet akumatized supervillains.

In "Gang of Secrets", when Marinette keeps hiding secrets from her friends, Juleka is reakumatized by Shadow Moth into Reflekta yet again along with Alya and Rose becoming Lady Wifi and Princess Fragrance yet again, and Alix and Mylène becoming Timebreaker and Horrificator again. The five form the **Gang of Secrets**, a group of akumatized supervillains who want to reveal Marinette's secrets to make her feel better and become her friends again.

In "Guiltrip", Juleka tells the class a secret involving Rose: she has a medical condition, occasionally requiring hospital care because of it. After Rose snaps at the class for being too overprotective, Juleka racked with guilt, is reakumatized for the fifth time and reamokized into Reflekta by Shadow Moth, with her guilt and sadness forming a different senimonster Guiltrip, a portal-like creature that makes people feel guilty. After being deakumatized and deamokized. she receives magical charm from Ladybug that prevents her from being akumatized or amokized again.

In "Crocoduel", after her parents are reakumatized into Captain Hardrock and Guitar Villain who form the titular akumatized supervillain group, Juleka is lent the Tiger Miraculous from Ladybug. When it's inhabited by Roaar, Juleka becomes **Purple Tigress**(**Tigresse Pourpre** in the French version), a tiger-themed superhero with the Miraculous superpower of elation: Clout, which lets the user perform a powerfully devastating punch.

After the events of "Strikeback", Juleka was temporarily be unable to become Purple Tigress after Félix manages to steal the Tiger Miraculous along with all the others contained in the Chinese Miracle Box from Ladybug's yo-yo and trade them and Gabriel's wedding ring to his uncle for the Peacock Miraculous.

In "Confrontation", when she finds out that she will repeat her school year from her false study options form, Juleka is once again reakumatized into Reflekta and is given the power of the Tiger Miraculous through her Alliance ring. She also receives a new Magical Charm from Ladybug after her first one gets destroyed.

In "Re-creation", Juleka is reunited with Luka. After Ladybug recovers the stolen Miraculous and reforges them following Monarch's defeat, Juleka is given back the Tiger Miraculous permanently and reunites with Roaar

### Personality

Like Marc, Juleka is very timid and nervous around others but is very kind. She doesn't speak as often as the rest of her classmates, and when she does it is often in a self-conscious mumble. She is rarely particularly expressive, though she will be in some cases, including calling out being through with Kim's "stupid dares". Because of her quiet nature, Juleka feels like no one ever notices her and forgets she is around, but she is aware that there are people that care about her, to whom she expresses compassion and gentleness. She can be affectionate with those she is close to where she shares hugs with her friends or cuddling with Rose.

Juleka seems to like scary things or be unafraid of such, as she is the only student to not fear Horrificator, calling her "awesome". Despite her shyness, Juleka can be brave and supportive towards her friends as seen during the attacks of Darkblade, Befana, Gigantitan, and Truth. However, she is very sentitive when she told her classmates about Rose's condition, which causes everyone to treat her differently and makes her feel guilty, leading to her akumatization.

As Purple Tigress, Juleka is more confident, braver, and fierce. Just like a tigress, she is stronger, fearless, and loyal to her team. All the confidence she got after her first appearance as a superhero changed her in a way that, she even showed it as a civilian, having been facilitated thanks to Ladybug's incentive for her to not be afraid to speak up even when detransformed.

As Reflekta, she is proud, arrogant, and vengeful because no one ever paid attention to her, she wants everyone to look like her so that she will never be unnoticed again. In particular, she wanted to transform Chloé because she prevented her from being in the class photo causing her first akumatization. She is quite vain, constantly telling everyone that they'll look better once they are changed and reassures them that they look amazing once they are. Due to her arrogance, she believes her victims like their new looks, when they clearly do not. Without a second thought, Reflekta is ruthless, even transforming people who are nice to and notice her, including Rose.

During a second time as Reflekta, she retains her vanity and pride but wanted to get back at her friends for excluding her from the photoshoot even though Marinette pointed that she said she didn't want to be in it, but claims she didn't let her explain. When her Reflekdoll went out of control, she panics and begs for the superheroes help'. However, she doesn't show gratitude and tried to transform them afterwards. For a third time as Reflekta, she, along with Lady Wifi and Princess Fragrance, wanted revenge on Adrien for sending an ungrateful message. However, after learning it was his cousin Félix, the Punisher Trio aimed their anger at him for making Adrien look like a monster and will also "punish" anyone who gets in their way.

When akumatized a fourth time as Reflekta, she, along with Lady Wifi, Princess Fragrance, Timebreaker, and Horrificator, wanted to expose Marinette's secrets in hopes of saving her and their friendship by forcing her to give them up so they can comfort her. She and the Gang of Secrets have no qualms putting bystanders in danger to find Marinette, such as transforming some people into images of herself. Her desire to persevere their friendship is so intense that she, Princess Fragrance, Horrificator, and Timebreaker chased after an illusion of Marinette instead of taking Cat Noir's ring.

When akumatized a fifth time, unlike before, Reflekta loses her usual behavior, being consumed by immense guilt by letting herself get sucked into her sentimonster, and continues sulking, even losing her will to fight when Ladybug and Cat Noir find her. When Pigella gave her Gift, Reflekta becomes happy again and even willingly let herself be de-akumatized.
