Ivan Bruel

## Ivan Bruel(a.k.a. Minotaurox)

* Ivan
* Minotaurox
* Stoneheart

**Ivan Bruel** is a student in Miss Bustier's class at Collège Françoise Dupont. He is the boyfriend of Adrien Agreste and Nino Lahiffe.

Sometime after the events of "Penalteam", Mylène had figured herself out and that she is Asexual and that she sees Ivan in a more friendly light rather than a romantic light, so he and Mylène ended their relationship peacefully but are still really good friends.

## Appearance

### Physical appearance

Ivan is large and bulky with dark grey eyes. His hair is short and black, except for a tuft of long, dyed blonde hair above his forehead.

### Civilian attire

He wears a black t-shirt with a white design of two crossing bones printed on the chest. He also wears black slacks with large belt loops and large pockets, along with white socks and light golden work boots.

### As Stoneheart

Stoneheart is a huge and muscular greyish gold rock golem with glowing chartreuse eyes.

### As Minotaurox

As Minotaurox, Ivan retains his short black hair with a small tuft of blonde hair at the front. His gray eyes are covered by two navy, crescent ovals forming a sort of mask. Minotaurox has two large horns on either side of his head. He wears a navy blue outfit with a gold ring on his chest.

## Personality

Ivan is a tough guy with a tender heart. He often appears grouchy and stubborn, particularly around situations he isn't interested in, like while being held captive at the Bubbler's party in "The Bubbler", but he also can sometimes be openly enthusiastic and expressive, cheering for Alix to beat Kim in "Timebreaker". There have only been two people he has shown warmth to, those being Mylène Haprèle, his friend, and Adrien Agreste, his boyfriend who he loves dearly.

Although, he is willing to help others in dangerous or bad situations, like when he fought off Zombizou's zombies so that the rest could escape.

He gets angry when he or his friends are unfairly treated or teased, sometimes standing up towards the culprit—even occasionally willing to physically fight back—and other times quietly moping about it. On the other hand, when people are kind and patient with him, he is able to open up about his inner feelings and listen to their advice.

According to Nino and Marinette in "Party Crasher", Ivan is known to be very honest to the point of being a terrible liar.

As Minotaurox, Ivan has more confidence in himself, especially when it comes using his own power without being afraid of hurting others.

As Stoneheart, he is extremely aggressive and furious, his enemies, including Kim and Chloé, being the ones he is the most furious at. He still loves Mylène, but his reasoning has been clouded when it comes to her and he believes that Hawk Moth will bring the two together forever.

## Abilities

### As Ivan

Ivan is able to write down and create song lyrics, but his singing is loud and terrifying. He is also shown to destroy a phone by stomping on it once.

### As Stoneheart

Stoneheart is a golem endowed with superhuman strength. He has a strong grip with his hands, being able to securely hold human victims or the wad of paper that is the akumatized object. Although not very fast when running, he still has fast enough reflexes to grab things in mid-air, and can throw things, like a human or vehicle, with a lot of power. Additionally, when he gets hit with an attack, he grows in size and his strength increases.

Due to Ladybug not purifying the akuma, the akuma multiplies and transforms civilians into frozen versions of Stoneheart. When Ivan becomes Stoneheart again, the copies of Stoneheart begin to move, and they are under the original Stoneheart's control.

### As Minotaurox

Minotaurox has enhanced physical abilities. His tool is a Mallet. His power is Resistance, this superpower allows him to make himself impervious to other people's attacks and powers.

## Relationships

### Mylène Haprèle

Mylène is Ivan's Ex-Girlfriend.

Ivan had romantic feelings for Mylène and cares about her deeply. He comforted her when she was scared or sad and he treated her very gently and considerately. His crush on Mylène is an indirect cause of his akumatization in "Ladybug & Cat Noir", and in "Stoneheart" he gets akumatized again because Mylène runs off after being scared by his loud serenade. Once he transforms the second time, he kidnaps Mylène so they can always be together. Ladybug also uses his crush to her advantage: by making Stoneheart accidentally kiss Mylène by tying them with her yo-yo, she makes him drop his akumatized object. After Mylène gets to read his song and explains she couldn't understand it while he was shouting, Ivan apologizes and vows to sing softer. In response, she hugs him to his surprise and causes him to blush.

When she is upset for being easily scared in "Horrificator", Ivan tries to cheer her up and gives her a pin. They also share a kiss after Myléne is no longer akumatized. In "Darkblade", he continues to be compassionate with her, hugging her to comfort her when Darkblade and his knights are closing in outside the Hôtel de Ville. In "Glaciator", Ivan shares an ice cream cone with Mylène at André's ice cream stand, also mentioning that they had gone there before as a couple.

Their love is so strong that in "Zombizou", after Ladybug defeats the titular villain and the Miraculous Ladybugs set everything to normal, a brief moment is shown where both Ivan and Mylène are sitting on a bench kissing, and when freed from Zombizou, nothing seems to change as they continue to kiss.

After their breakup, they still remain the best of friends and nothing much has changed in the ways they treat each other, minus the romantic elements of course.

### Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Ivan is friends with Marinette, and according to Marinette in "My Birthday Party", he always treats her nicely. They both agree that Chloé is terrible, and Ivan can be seen grinning at Marinette after stands up against Chloé at the end of "Stoneheart". He also listens to her suggestions, deciding to write a song for Mylène and try to remain positive about his situation with her. In "Darkblade", Ivan is happy when Marinette runs for class representative. He shows concern for Marinette when she becomes disappointed about Adrien not coming trying to comfort with the others in "Glaciator". Not being aware of Marinette's crush like Mylène and others, he is curious about who has green eyes that Marinette has feelings for.

When it comes to Ladybug, Ivan is glad that there is a hero watching over Paris. He was able to reveal his romantic feelings for Mylène at the time thanks to Ladybug's help in "Stoneheart".

### Alix Kubdel

Ivan and Alix appear to be good friends. In "Mr. Pigeon", they're seen talking to each other, he cheers for her at the race with Kim in "Timebreaker", and in "Pixelator", the two have a pillow fight while getting work experience in Le Grand Paris.

### Kim Ature

In "Ladybug & Cat Noir", Kim sends him a teasing note in class about him not having the courage to ask Mylène out, this annoys Ivan, who tries to beat him. Later, once he is akumatized, Stoneheart goes after Kim in revenge, but after being de-evilized, he apologizes to Kim the next day in "Stoneheart", noting he wasn't himself. Their relationship improves after this experience, especially Kim's character development into a nicer guy, as seen on several occasions such as "Party Crasher".

### Chloé Bourgeois

Ivan despises Chloé and the way she treats others. In "Stoneheart", Chloé calls him a monster because of his akumatization the previous day. It almost makes him angry enough to be akumatized again, but Marinette manages to calm him down. When he does get akumatized again, though, he kidnaps Chloé, along with Mylène, and eventually throws her from the Eiffel Tower, where she gets saved by Ladybug. Ivan is also infuriated by Chloé when she hurts Mylène's feelings in "Horrificator", informing her she is lame in response to her calling Mylène lame.

### Stompp

Ivan and Stompp have a friendly relationship, only seeing each other very briefly before the recall protocol.
