 —Chloé, "Darkblade"

**Chloé Bourgeois** is a student in Miss Bustier's class at Collège Françoise Dupont. She is a rival of both Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Ladybug. She is also the daughter of André and Audrey Bourgeois and the half-sister of Zoé Lee.

In "Antibug", after Ladybug ignores her suggestions on how to beat Vanisher and calls her a liar, she is akumatized by Hawk Moth and becomes **Antibug**, a supervillain that has the same outfit and the same abilities as Ladybug, but her outfit is reversed, being black with red spots, instead of red with black spots, and having Anti Charm as her superpower, which grants her weapons, instead of Lucky Charm.

In "Style Queen", after Ladybug loses the Bee Miraculous that she wanted to entrust to Alya Césaire, Chloé finds it and she, when the Miraculous was inhabited by Pollen, became **Queen Bee**, a bee-themed antihero who helped Ladybug and Cat Noir "during particularly difficult missions" in Seasons 2 and 3.

In "Queen Wasp," after a failed attempt at trying to impress her mother, Queen Bee gets akumatized by Hawk Moth and becomes **Queen Wasp**, a wasp-themed villain.

In "Miraculer", after being manipulated by Lila Rossi and believing that Ladybug isn't gonna come to recruit her as Queen Bee anymore, she is nearly akumatized by Hawk Moth. However, the akumatization fails as Chloé rejects it. After the titular villain is de-akumatized, Ladybug tells Chloé that she'll no longer call upon her to be Queen Bee due to the risk her identity being public knowledge places upon both her and r family.

In "Heart Hunter", after being passed over too many times by Ladybug and being manipulated by Hawk Moth, Queen Bee joins the villains' side and gets akumatized into **Miracle Queen**, a villain who can brainwash Miraculous holders by stinging them with wasps, where she is to set in motion for Hawk Moth's "elaborate mortal plan".

In "Miracle Queen", after being de-akumatized by Ladybug and losing both her army of superheroes, the Miracle Box, and the Bee Miraculous, Chloé becomes bitter towards Ladybug and claims she will no longer be her fan and friend, being terminated from being Queen Bee for good.

In "Queen Banana", after being removed from the movie Kreatika and having her half-sister be the main character, and after she ends her friendship with Adrien Agreste, Chloé is akumatized and amokized by Shadow Moth into **Queen Banana**, a banana-themed supervillain and her anger, pride, sadness, and frustration formed Banana Boom-Boom, a banana-themed gorilla sentimonster. Ladybug also tries to give her a Magical Charm that prevents her from being akumatized again, but she initially rejects it. However, later on she accepts the Magical Charm after Zoé tells her that it's from their mother.

In "Penalteam", after getting fed up by the class playing soccer, Chloé's Magical Charm is destroyed by Shadow Moth and she voluntarily gets akumatized into **Penalty**, a soccer-themed supervillain multipled into ten clones capable of trapping people in force fields. With her clones, she forms the supervillain team, **Penalteam**.

Wasp.

## Appearance

### Physical appearance

Chloé stands at medium height with light honey blonde hair that is pulled back into a high ponytail and light ocean blue eyes.

### Civilian attire

She is mostly seen wearing makeup; light blue eye-shadow, nude lipstick, and light peach-colored blush. For accessories, she has a gold chain necklace, with a gold sphere charm. She also has white-rimmed sunglasses on her head. Additionally, she wears a yellow long-sleeved jacket over a white shirt with black stripes around the waist. The rest of her outfit includes white jean capris with a belt that has diamond-shaped studs and white dress shoes with black lining and soles.

### As Queen Bee

Queen Bee wears a yellow and black domino mask. She wears her hair back in a ponytail which is curled to resemble a bee's stinger at the ends, tied with a black hairband, with two black antennae-like ribbons sticking out from the hairband, and a streak of black hair curled into her ponytail. The Bee Miraculous comb is placed in the upper right side of her head next to the hairband. Queen Bee wears a yellow costume made up of many tiny hexagonal patterns to resemble a honeycomb with three black stripes on her torso and two on the upper thigh. Her upper rib cage is covered by black. The sleeves of the costume are also black, which end in gloves with yellow fingers. Her black boots go down the length of her lower legs, starting directly below the second stripe on her thigh, and ending with yellow wedges. She has her weapon the spinning top tied around her waist.

### As Antibug

Antibug wears a costume similar to Ladybug's, but it has inverted colors. Her hair remains in a ponytail rather than pigtails.

### As Queen Wasp

Queen Wasp looks similar to Queen Bee, but with inverted colors, blackish-gray hair with a yellow band going through. She also has magenta eyes and yellow skin.

## Personality

Chloé is a spoiled, arrogant, and superficial girl who does everything in her power to crush and humiliate the other students, especially Marinette. Chloé believes that she is the most important person in the world and everyone adores her, but the real reason why she acts like this is because her father is the mayor of Paris and he constantly spoils her by giving her everything she wants. She thinks highly of herself and lowly of others as she believes that she deserves everything and takes pride in her rich lifestyle. If there is something that she wants, like Adrien Agreste's attention or revenge against Marinette, she will do anything, including underhanded actions, to succeed. She steals Marinette's derby hat design in order to humiliate her and impress Adrien and Gabriel Agreste in "Mr. Pigeon", and she threatens Mr. Damocles into punishing Alya Césaire by calling her father in "Lady Wifi". Her sour attitude comes across openly to whatever and whoever she despises, but she will sometimes pretend to be innocent and emotionally distressed in order to manipulate others. She rarely treats any of her peers respectfully, she is even bossy and overbearing to her best friend Sabrina Raincomprix and claims to her mother that she is just using her in "Queen Wasp".

While being callous and careless to anyone but herself, Chloé can be cowardly. She is easily scared of danger often caused by akumatized villains. Having helped caused some people to be akumatized, Chloé, to her horror and confusion, finds herself their victim for revenge. Despite some of the villains calling her out for her nasty behavior, Chloé disagrees with them, believing she is good. She remains awful most of the time, but occasionally, she shows a bit more kindness, sometimes expressing happiness when Ladybug is saving her or expressing it towards Sabrina. She also listens to advice at rare moments, like following Ladybug's suggestion to reconcile with Sabrina in "Antibug". She has a fierce temper when angered as seen in several episodes and sometimes acts a little bit like a child or a daddy's girl.

On occasions, Chloé can be courageous as she is willingly helpful when asked by those she is close to or admires like Ladybug or Adrien, such as helping Ladybug defeat the titular villain in "Despair Bear". If requested for a purpose, particularly by Adrien so that she can still be friends with him, she knows how to act congenial around others, although she often comes off as forced and can't keep it up for long.

Also on rare occasions, Chloé can be remorseful towards her actions, seen in "Zombizou", when she apologizes to Miss Bustier about forgetting her birthday and that her lashing out in anger caused trouble for everyone. After being deakumatized in "Queen Wasp", she sincerely apologizes to Ladybug and Cat Noir for selfishly using her superpowers and for what happened to Pollen because of her actions.

Much of Chloé's current personality is a result of her feeling unloved by Audrey as she keeps forgetting Chloé's name and her father's spoiling. Chloé desperately wanted to be appreciated by Audrey by trying to give her a gift and following her around and copying her moves in order to bond, albeit failing. At the end of “Style Queen”, Chloé attempted to ask her mother to spend time together, only to be dismissed. In “Queen Wasp”, Chloé was very hurt after her mother dismisses her as irresponsible for the subway train incident and after being deakumatized, when she hugged onto the Bee Miraculous in anguish after hearing her mother reprimand her, desperately begging Ladybug for a second chance. At the end of “Queen Wasp”, Chloé sadly asks her mother why she did not love her, to which Audrey hesitantly replied that she did. Once both of them found out their similarities of subjecting others and love for ordering others around thanks to Marinette, they hugged each other and Audrey decides to spend more time with Chloé in Paris. She did not care about hiding her superhero identity, revealing Pollen to the public and transforming in front of everyone to show them, especially her mother, that she was exceptional because she could become a hero.

As Queen Bee, she is proud of her abilities and wanted to prove herself to her mother by causing a subway train to go at dangerous speeds in order to save it so the civilians will be grateful towards her. She wanted to be a famous, well-known, and well-liked hero just like Ladybug, so she calls Nadja Chamack to film her saving the said subway train. However, in "Malediktator", after a talk with Ladybug, Chloé tearfully reveals that she is aware that no one in her class really likes her and she feels useless. When given the Bee Miraculous by Ladybug, she heroically helps her defeat the titular villain and gives back the Miraculous without hesitation. Afterwards, she slowly attempts to be a better person by cleaning up her own lair instead of having her butler do it and she is happy that everyone at school is throwing her a party in honor of her saving Paris.

Similar to Cat Noir, Queen Bee has a bit of a habit of leaping before she looks, meaning she is hasty or quick to act seen in "Catalyst", where she was eager to fight against Hawk Moth's army or in "Malediktator", where she quickly apologized to her father instead of listening to Ladybug's plan first.

During "Stormy Weather 2" and "Animaestro", Chloé's attempts to be a better person continue. When she insulted Aurore and it led her to being akumatized, Chloé waited for Ladybug to give her the Bee Miraculous, showing she wanted to fix her mistake. When working together with Marinette, Chloé found out she had a crush on Adrien but decided not to tell because she thought it was a waste of time. With that being her way of being nice proving that both Adrien's and Marinette's words left an imprint on her.

In the episode "Miraculer", Chloé's personality shows a new, loyal, and dedicated side. Despite her mounting frustration with Ladybug, when Hawk Moth tries to akumatize her, she does what nobody in the series has done before: say no to him.

As Antibug, most of Chloé's personality remains the same except that she is more vengeful towards Ladybug. She enjoys taunting her and Cat Noir about their teamwork, believing she is weak without him and Cat Noir is playing second fiddle.

As Queen Wasp, Chloé is prideful and arrogant towards Cat Noir and Ladybug, believing herself to be a more exceptional hero worthy of her mother's praise than both of them. She also wants to prove herself by taking away their Miraculouses and feels angry towards everyone who dislikes her and paralyzes them.

## Abilities

### As a civilian

Chloé, having grown up in politics due to her father's position, knows how to cheat, manipulate, fool, and humiliate others for her own personal success. If she has a goal in mind, she will do whatever it takes to achieve it, even if it means sabotaging others and bringing them down. In "Mr. Pigeon", she wants to earn Adrien's attention, so she plagiarizes Marinette's hat and passes it off as her own, though Marinette is able to prove that the derby hat is her design. In "Reflekta", she tells Sabrina to lock Juleka in the bathroom just so that she can stand next to Adrien in the class photo. Chloé is also a skilled dancer as revealed in "Frightningale" due to eight years of practice.

### As Queen Bee

Queen Bee has enhanced physical capabilities and is quite flexible and agile, easily able to do a back flip from the floor to the top of the stage. However, she is not strong enough to stop a subway train by herself, requiring both Cat Noir and Ladybug's help. She can yank the pull string on her Spinning top to send it onto the ground and letting it spin, which then allows her travel with it by either riding it or letting the top pull her. Using her top, she can travel much faster than Ladybug and can reach her destination much quicker than other Miraculous holders. She can also use her weapon to attack and protect. Her superpower, Venom, allows her to use the top as a stinger, immobilizing her target for a set amount of time.
As Queen Bee, she is skilled in hand to hand combat.

### As Antibug

Antibug has the same abilities as Ladybug, including enhanced strength and agility. She has her own yo-yo, which she prefers to mostly use offensively. Also, like Ladybug having Lucky Charm, Antibug has her own special superpower to summon objects called "Anti-Charm." Unlike Lucky Charm, which gives Ladybug random, inherently normal objects, Anti-Charm gives Antibug a weapon, like a large and bulky sword. However, she shares the same time limit to her transformation after using her superpower.

### As Queen Wasp

As an akumatized Miraculous holder, Queen Wasp is considerably powerful, able to summon swarms of wasps and direct them. Like her original superpower Venom, Queen Wasp can use her wasps to sting her targets and immobilize them indefinitely, unlike Venom which can only be used once. She can form her wasps into different shapes and forms such as arrows, rockets, binoculars and telescopes. She can also ride on her wasps by letting them carry her. However, her wasps have a weakness and dislike for water, avoiding their target if they manage to go underwater.
