Nooroo

—Nooroo to Gabriel Agreste, "Ladybug & Cat Noir (Origins - Part 1)"

**Nooroo** is the kwami of transmission who is connected to the Butterfly Miraculous, and with his power, his wearer can use the brooch to transform into a butterfly-themed superhero, the current wearer being ceriese, who uses it for an unknown purpose.

## Appearance

Nooroo is a little, purple, butterfly-like creature, who is 10 centimeters tall. He has butterfly wings that have a long tail with a tip at the end of each lower wing and dark purple eyes. There is a slightly dark purple spiral mark on his forehead and one on each lower part of the back of his wings

## Personality

Nooroo is a knowledgeable, helpful, and nice kwami. Though he reluctantly succumbs to Gabriel's demands to help him get the Ladybug Miraculous and Cat Miraculous, he is distressed that he is helping someone use the Butterfly Miraculous for evil reasons.

He also has a formal side, calling his holder 'Master' instead of his real name. He shows a bit of his curious side in "Gorizilla" when Gabriel thought Adrien might be Cat Noir.

In addition to this, Nooroo is sometimes scared of Gabriel and is quite meek with him. As seen in "Syren", he can get scared or nervous in stressful situations, such as when Gabriel interrogates him on how to get more powers. As of "Sandboy", he holds great concern for his kwami friends, holding onto hope that Gabriel doesn't find them.

## Abilities

Nooroo is able to fly, levitate, phase through solid objects, and carry things that are large and/or heavy for him.

As a kwami, Nooroo gives the wearer the power of transmission and transforms them into a moth-themed superhero by entering the Butterfly Miraculous. Whenever the wearer uses Akumatization, Nooroo begins losing power and eventually detransforms in about five minutes, although the specifics of the power that starts the power loss is currently uncertain. Then Nooroo has to recharge by eating.

## Relationships

### Gabriel Agreste

Nooroo is treated like a slave by Gabriel and is completely under his will. He isn't pleased with his treatment or being forced to help a villain, but he submits to Gabriel's commands as he has no choice and tells him everything he wants to know. While Nooroo does attempt to tell him that the Miraculouses aren't meant to be used for evil, Gabriel refuses to listen and even yells at him.

Nooroo is not allowed to be more than a few feet away from Gabriel or communicate with anyone else besides him as seen in "Sandboy". He also isn't always sure what Gabriel is thinking or feeling, surprised when Gabriel renounces him in "The Collector" and "Queen Wasp (Queen's Battle - Part 2)". Despite his master mistreating him all the time, Nooroo still cares about Gabriel’s condition as seen in “Mayura (Heroes' Day - Part 2)” after the latter de-transforms upon suffering from a huge defeat.

In "Stormy Weather 2", despite being afraid of Gabriel, Nooroo does gain the courage to advise him to spend more time with his son and to stop his dark path before he loses him, though Gabriel refuses to listen and even seals his mouth shut.

### Adrien Agreste

Nooroo hasn't met Adrien in person, but he does know that he is Gabriel's son and expresses curiousity over the possibility of him being Cat Noir in "Gorizilla".

During "Stormy Weather 2", Nooroo is even caring towards Adrien. When Gabriel senses negative emotions, Nooroo believes that they might be Adrien's and advises Gabriel to spend more time with him.
