Juleka Couffaine

Juleka Couffaine[3] is a student in Miss Bustier's class at Collège Françoise Dupont. In "Reflekta", when Chloé has Sabrina lock her into the bathroom, preventing her from participating in the class photo, she is infected with an akuma by Hawk Moth and becomes Reflekta, a supervillain who turns people into copies of herself.

## Appearance

### Physical appearance

Juleka stands at a medium height with copper eyes and long black hair, with violet tips on the ends of her hair and her bangs covering her left eye.

### Civilian attire

On her face, she has pale lavender lipstick. She wears a black shirt with a swan-necked collar and sea green lined collar and side pockets, a black lace short sleeves On her hands, she has black fingerless lace gloves that have a diamond pattern design and end halfway up the forearm. She also wears purple pants with holes above the knees and black high top sneakers with white soles. Her fingernails are painted grey with black nail art of intricate patterns on each one, with different designs on each hand.

In *Tales from Paris*, Juleka's hair covers her right eye and she does not wear her gloves.

### As Reflekta

Reflekta's face is white, and she has hot pink circle markings around her eyes, along with purple lipstick. On the tips of her eyelashes, there are small light green spheres. Her eyes remain copper. Her hair is shiny and pink with light purple stripes, and two twisted ponytails stick upward on each side of her head. She has side bangs, and at the center of the front her hair, there is a white upward almond-shaped eye with a light purple outline and a pink pupil. She wears a pink dress with a collaret, light purple stripes around her waist, and eyes like the one on her hair around her puffed sleeves and her skirt. The tips of the collaret and the skirt have light pink edging, and her arms and legs have pink gloves and leggings. Her long green fingernails stick out of the end of her gloves, and on the back of her right hand, she has a pink eye design with a black outline, the center being a black jewel that opens up to reveal a small circular mirror. At the bottom of her feet, she has pink thick high heels, and miniature eyes without pupils appear above the feet.

## Personality

Juleka is very shy. 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" in "Timebreaker".[4] She seems to like scary things, or be unafraid of such, as she is the only student to not fear Horrificator, instead calling her "awesome" in the episode of the same name. 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 to.

As Reflekta, she is proud 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 wants to transform Chloé because she prevented her from being in the class photo. Without a second thought, she even transforms people who are nice to her and notice her, including Rose. She is quite vain, constantly telling everyone that they will look better once they look like her and reassures them that they look amazing once they are transformed. Due to this arrogance, she believes her victims like their new looks, when they clearly do not. She is cunning as well, figuring out Ladybug's plan to catch her and persuading a transformed André Bourgeois that she'll turn him back to normal if he tricks Ladybug and Cat Noir into believing he is her.

## Abilities

### As a civilian

Juleka seems to be skilled at applying makeup, as she is the makeup artist for Nino's short film in "Horrificator".

### As Reflekta

Reflekta is able to shoot rays from the jewel she has on her right wrist, which transform people into an identical physical copy of herself. Those transformed by her retain their normal voices and minds, do not have her powers, or their own abilities, and are immune to subsequent hits from her ray. She is implied to be able to reverse the transformations as well, as she says to Hawk Moth that she will take care of getting Cat Noir's ring after, despite having transformed him, and she promises Mr. Bourgeois that she'll turn him back to normal in exchange for his cooperation.

She also seems to be able to float, as seen when she jumps around, and she is very strong and fast, quickly throwing away multiple lockers in front of a door in the span of a couple of seconds and breaking free from a basketball hoop around her body.

## TMNT X Pokemon

Juleka likes to help the others put on some makeup for special events. During the Halloween Specials, she put some horrifying makeup on Rach to make her scary and thus scaring everyone. She can also use her makeup skills to cover up bruises as well.
