## Personality and traits

Marinette is extremely knowledge, it makes her disregard everyone else because she thinks she knows better. She's constantly reading about from instructional/reference books and spouting facts to people who don't understand her babble. She's kind of a buzz kill, she has this annoying habit of pointing out the unpleasant side of everything. She's pretty much the opposite of an optimist without actually being a pessimist. She's not technically a doomsayer because she doesn't find solace in the bad things she sees. She's pretensious and overly confident, she'll never admit to being wrong. She always has an excuse for why she's ultimately correct and someone else was incorrect. She doesn't make friends easily, she doesn't try very hard to be inviting. She doesn't let down her guard for any reason, she does't like being vulnerable. She thinks it makes her better at controlling her magic if she's as stone cold as can be. Her walls are constantly up, they only very temporarily part. Her brother is her only comfort zone.

### Family

#### Bonnefort Family

The new parents were excited and happy for Adrien to come into the world, he was enveloped by love. It wasn't long before he had a little sister who came into the world only two years after he did, and the little family of four was complete.

Marinette has a great relationship with her family. She may have secrets that she keeps from each of them, regardless of what she shares and what she hides they are her entire world. She and her father have a picture perfect "daddy-daughter" relationship. He's her partner in her book smuggling deal allowing her to reunite with the books her mother confiscated from her. She and her mother have their tense arguments but they love one another with no amount of animosity between them. They disagree about Marinette's choices and it causes petty rifts that don't ever amount to much or last very long. Marinette idolizes her brother Adrien. He's her perfect ideal of everything. She doesn't think he's infallible but she does wish everyone else in the world were a lot more like him.
