Alya Césaire

**Weapon** | Phone

**Alya Césaire** is Marinette's best friend, and a student in Miss Bustier's class at Collège Françoise Dupont. She is also the sole admin of the Ladyblog and head of the school blog. In "Lady Wifi", after Alya gets suspended from school because of Chloé, she is akumatized by Hawk Moth and becomes **Lady Wifi**, a supervillain whose powers come from her smartphone and its Wi-Fi signal.

In "Sapotis", after Alya receives the Fox Miraculous from Ladybug, she becomes **Rena Rouge**, a superhero who helps Ladybug and Cat Noir "during particularly difficult missions" in the second season. With the Fox Miraculous, when inhabited by Trixx, she can transform into a fox-themed superhero.

## **Appearance**

Civillian Attire

She wears black-rimmed glasses, with a white spot on each side, whereas her outfit consists of a white tank top underneath a plaid flannel shirt with white, orange, and purple stripes; light blue jeans, and white sneakers with black tops.

Rena Rouge

When transformed, Rena Rouge's hair becomes a three-tone ombré, having the roots turn dark red/red-orange, blending to orange with the tips being white, and she wears her hair back into a high ponytail with an orange hairband. She wears an orange mask with a white bottom half and a black mark above each eye. Two orange fox ears with white insides, black tips, and black edges are attached to the top of her head. The top layer of her suit, akin to an overcoat, is orange with a white front, a black swan-necked collar, and black arms and gloves up to the middle of her upper arms. The overcoat layer attaches down the vertical front center with a zipper, and the Fox Miraculous becomes the zipper. The overcoat also has a long fox tail-like coattail that ends a bit below her knees at a sharp white tip. The bottom layer of her suit is orange with a white center on the front of the body and black legs starting at a point in the middle of her upper legs. Her soles are orange with black fox paw print markings. She attaches her flutediagonally on her back when it's not being used.

Lady Wifi

Lady Wifi has a black butterfly-shaped mask on her face, and her eyes are dark magenta. She wears a black suit, her lower arms, and legs white with three stripes that are white above each. On her chest is a glowing hot pink Wi-Fi symbol, and a thin white line goes around her waist, with the line creating a semicircle above a short vertical white line in the front, resembling a power button.

## **Personality**

Alya is rather energetic, passionate, and funny, yet down to earth and smart. She is extremely loyal, supportive, and helpful, like going out of her way to encourage and (sometimes literally) push Marinette into spending time with Adrien. Her cleverness and foresight have come in handy many times. After Marinette thinks she accidentally lost a video of Ladybug on Alya's cellphone, Alya explains that she had already posted the video on her blog, expecting something to go wrong when she showed Marinette the video. From thoroughly observing Ladybug and Cat Noir while in action, Alya has figured out the basics of the superhero's work, like breaking the akumatized object to stop the villain. She doesn't like being undermined or doubted by others, especially when it comes to her work.

Alya has a dramatic side to her personality as well, such as when she pretends to be a unicorn with Manon (in "Stormy Weather") and when she later makes an excuse to Adrien's photographer, who asks for her to be a support model for Adrien, so Marinette can do the modeling instead. Having to babysit her younger siblings at home, she is great with kids. When it comes to anything involving Ladybug and Cat Noir, Alya easily becomes very excited and basically has a single goal of updating her blog as soon as possible, like when she is kidnapped by the Pharaoh to be a sacrifice yet still records herself and live streams the video on her blog in "The Pharaoh". She also tends to jump to conclusions, such as when she quickly suspects Chloé of being Ladybug after seeing the mayor's daughter with a Ladybug prop yo-yo and suit and mistaking them for the real ones. She is intent on finding out who the civilian identities of the two superheroes are and is willing to follow almost any lead she is given towards that goal. In her pursuit of the truth, Alya tends to forget her own safety at times, needing rescue from the very superheroes she's filming. Sometimes, she goes too far, like spying on Chloé's locker, which results in her getting punished by Mr. Damocles.

As described by Cat Noir in "The Pharaoh", Alya is a "brave chick," unafraid to get close to villains or willing to jump into danger to protect others. Her bravery and determination has helped both civilians and superheroes, making a plan with her classmates to save Marinette in "Befana", sacrificing herself in the process, and riding a bike to distract the titular villain of "Gigantitan" from harming Ladybug.

She holds great admiration and respect for the two superheroes especially Ladybug wishing to know anything and everything about her. Much more she wildly dreams of knowing Ladybug's identity but would respect her desire to keep it secret and wishes to work alongside her mentioned in the Ladyblog and "Sapotis". Also in the same episode, most of that dream comes true when the superheroine chooses her to wield the Fox Miraculous and asks Alya for her help in defeating the villain. She extremely values the trust Ladybug has in her making Alya someone of her word as well as having a burning desire to continue helping her new teammates.

As Rena Rouge, Alya retains most of her personality traits like her undying loyalty, trustworthiness, and curiosity about Ladybug and Cat Noir. She is supportive of her allies, whom she gets very excited about working with, causing her to be a bit of a scatterbrain. A quick learner, Rena Rouge takes quickly to her new abilities, but while it is hard for her to give her Miraculous back to Ladybug, she keeps to her promise.

As Lady Wifi, her desire for answers increases considerably. Despising Ladybug's secrecy, she will stop at nothing to find out her secret identity, even if it means exposing a horrible person underneath, like when she believes that Ladybug is Chloé. Her speediness to update onlookers remains the same, but her methods for finding info become sneakier and harsher.

## **Relationships**

Marinette Dupain-Cheng - Her best friend

Ibuki Tsubasaragi - Her close friend

Liui Aquino - She, Ibuki, and Luka are Liui's 3 best friends. Liui often has Alya to take videos for his vlogs.

## **Trivia**

* She is the only villain that manages to take off a Miraculous from one of the heroes without making it disappear, as Cat Noir drops his ring when she throws him into a freezer. However, she is unaware of the success as she focuses on Ladybug at the time.
* Lila, during her akumatization as  Volpina, can create hyper-realistic illusions by playing her flute, mirroring Rena Rouge's ability to create illusions
	+ However, while Volpina can make multiple illusions without losing power and detransforming, Rena Rouge can only make one illusion per transformation.
* So far, Alya is the only person to become an akumatizied villain and a Miraculous holder excluding Hawk Moth, who akumatized himself.
* Similar to Cat Noir, Rena Rouge's ears and tail are fake, but it's unknown if they respond to her mood or emotions.
* When Alya transforms into Rena Rogue her body is slimmer than her civilian form.
