Adrien Agreste

Adrien is a main character in AllStar's Tangledly Miraculous Adventure. He lives in Paris, France and is the current keeper of the Cat Miraculous. He is also known as Cat Noir (Chat Noir in the French version), and usually keeps his Kwami, Plagg in his bag with some blue cheese. His best friend is Nino Lahiffe and he has a crush on Ladybug

## Personality

Adrien is a dreamer and charismatic, but is also often shy, a bit reserved, and considerably innocent — particularly due to his unfamiliarity to much of the world beyond his father's reach. As according to Nino because of it he called Adrien a baby bird afraid to come out of his shell. Even though he is not very openly emotional to most people, he is friendly, empathetic, understanding, supportive and encouraging to others in hard times. His will for exposure, change, and making friends definitely complements his personality, although it is a bit of a struggle for Adrien due to his busy schedule. Because of his innocence and kind heart, Adrien is very willing to give second chances to others that have cruel or mean intentions, like Lila Rossi and Chloé Bourgeois, believing that with enough patience and time anyone can change. However, he will defend his friends if matters go out of hand.

Due to his kind heart he can be oblivious at times to the darkness or mischief that are in hearts of others like his father or his cousin Felix.

Adrien's shyer, gentler characteristics can be observed in awkward or uncomfortable situations, or scenarios with particular people. This was shown when he nervously asked Marinette to sign his copy of Jagged Stone's new album, shyly greeted Ladybug in "Simon Says", posed with Marinette as their alter-egos in Clara Nightingale's music video, displayed shyness about going on a date with Kagami alone in "Frozer", and tried to make Marinette more comfortable around him but froze up and instead played a joke during "The Puppeteer 2".

While liking to have fun, Adrien is more serious, obedient, somewhat insecure, and less lively due to his strict upbringing. If something makes him sad, he usually tries to downplay his feelings on it, like his relationship with his father. He has an easier time letting his feelings show to those whom he is close to. However, Adrien will act on impulse if he is emotional enough, like lying to Théo Barbot out of jealousy about his relationship with Ladybug and sneaking out into the night while unhappy on Christmas, missing his mother. He feels that his father is overprotective, causing him to occasionally act rebelliously, like going places with his friends or alone without informing his family and taking things that don't belong to him, though the former case was caused by his father's over-protection.

His desire to be loved makes him vulnerable whenever disappointed by those he cares for, as seen when Ladybug didn't show up for their date in "Glaciator". Family related issues also strike him emotionally, even the simple situation when his father doesn't show up to spend dinner with him. Or when Mayura's deception lead him into trouble, meaning that he follows his heart at the most inconvenient times.

Adrien usually thinks reasonably and will express distress and frustration when someone is being difficult or something is going wrong, especially in Plagg's case. However, according to Gabriel, Adrien is very similar to his mother, describing them as "dramatic" and "headstrong when in comes to other people's safety". He can be rather reckless with or without the mask, insisting on fighting Riposte with a sprained ankle in order to protect his crime-fighting partner. This was seen again to a more dangerous extent, like when he had his ribs broken as a result of his Cataclysm being used against him. On the verge of dying, he insisted on continuing to fight anyway showing his will and determination to help even if restrained. On certain occasions, Adrien (as Cat Noir) can be hasty sometimes, evidently when rushing to face certain akumatized villains without a plan. Due to this rashness, he often needs to be restrained or stopped by Ladybug or Master Fu.

At times, Adrien can be persistent and curious about his Miraculous powers or when wanting to figure something out, as seen when he continuously bribed Plagg with cheese until he spilled the truth about what Ladybug was hiding from him. This trait is highly apparent in his romantic pursuit of her, to the point where both Marinette (referring to Cat Noir) and Kagami believe that he is stubborn. However, like Alya Césaire, he places extreme values on the mutual trust he has with Ladybug, respecting her decision to keep her identity secret and eventually her secrets with the Guardian. To the point where, he held a great fear of losing it and disappointing Ladybug to where he tried to hide the truth from her edivent in "Miraculous New York". According to Ladybug, Cat Noir does annoy her a lot, but he has never lied to her. Per her wishes, he is secretive to others about his personal life such as his love towards her, partially telling his true feelings to her aforementioned friends.

As Cat Noir, Adrien has the freedom to act however he desires outside of his normal life, letting his wilder side come out.  More optimistic and open, he says whatever comes to his mind and has a habit of cracking cat-related jokes and puns. As he said in "Plagg", being Cat Noir is the only time Adrien can be himself. Much of his exaggerated personality, especially his flirtatious behavior with Ladybug, stems from entertainment such as anime, television, and movies due to his lack of experience with people his age beyond Chloé. According to Plagg, Adrien often takes after him and is one of his most irresponsible owners in 5000 years, though the latter might be an exaggeration since he also considered him the best "Cat Noir". It is rare for Cat Noir to reveal his vulnerable side, but it does come through at times. Examples of this are when he quietly comments that not all parents are loving, tries in vain to tell Ladybug about his love for her before their transformations wore off, and opens up to Marinette about his struggles in the love department.

Since he became Cat Noir, like Marinette, Adrien has grown in confidence and developed characteristically. This can be seen during the time he lashed out at his father and courageously asked Nathalie if he could bring his friends with him to the wax museum. In his attempts to get Ladybug's attention, as well as interacting with certain other people, he acts cocky and brags, liking to boast about himself in a comedic way. In "Cat Noir as seen by Marinette", was described by Ladybug in the same way.

However, Cat Noir very occasionally shows insecurity and compares his abilities to Ladybug or their new partners.He displayed his biggest sense of insecurity when he failed to save those he cares about. In "Desperada", he briefly expressed his intense frustration and sadness to Ladybug about repeatedly being unable to save her and not knowing what to do. His romantic feelings towards her stemmed this situation and distracted him from fighting the villain at hand, being observable in other fights and episodes as well. It often sparks his instincts to protect Ladybug before himself, as well. While during the "New York special", he displayed another sense of insecurity when it came to his powers overtime as Cat Noir, he has grown aware of the destructive capabilities of them. As well as with great power comes great responsibility learning it the hard way when he accidentally used it to destroy Uncanny Valley and was afraid under what could've happened if the robotic superheroine had been human. And when overcome with fear and grief as well as disappointing his partner, he felt unworthy of his powers and renounced them not wanting to hurt anyone.

Despite all these traits, Adrien's change to his superhero status doesn't diminish his kindness and concern for others, among his other personality traits, such as his reasonable character and reckless behavior. He usually tries to persuade the supervillains to calm down and stop their rampage before fighting them, when able to do so. While more prone to goofing off, Cat Noir gets serious when it is a lethal situation. He understands that it takes more than just superpowers to be a hero or useful, using his wits to help Ladybug out of a tight spot even without his powers. As well as understanding that it's a hero's duty to rescue everyone especially those that cause trouble holding onto hope by setting an example for them that it will help others begin to change seen in "Felix". He also knows how to cheer up his partner during their hardest times and encourages her to try to fight again. Deeply loyal and determined to help others and save the day, he really cherishes being uninhibited by his civilian life as a superhero.

Cat Noir is welcoming and friendly when it comes to accepting new additions to the team, having open arms for Lila Rossi in "Volpina" and Rena Rouge in "Sapotis". He is also open to accepting help from others like Alix and Nathaniel during battles, as shown during the time he was reversed from "puss to wuss", becoming a complete coward, contrasting to his brave and confident nature. Like Ladybug, he is good at providing advice to others when they need it.  As Cat Noir, Adrien has the people's loyalty, respect, trust, and help when he needs it.

Through spending time with his other allies, Cat Noir like Ladybug; also values their support and help. Thanks to his time as his alter ego and daringly wanting to see outside world, Adrien got to experience something his father may have forgotten the love of others. Starting to feel that Ladybug and others are like his second family. As well as valuing the support, companionship and help of his friends.

As Mister Bug, Adrien retains most of his personality as Cat Noir like his hastiness and his confidence in his abilities. However, according to Lady Noir, he has lost some of his sense of humor, getting a taste of Ladybug's careful side and creative thinking.

As Aspik, Adrien retains more of his personality as a civilian rather than as Cat Noir. However, despite being still trustworthy and faithful, but was unfocused as his crush on Ladybug prevented him from doing a good job fighting Desperada. Desperate to impress her as Adrien, he disregards the villain's movements and keeps using his power to go back in time to try to prevent Ladybug from being captured. Eventually, he comes to conclusion he cannot be of any help to her as Aspik and returns the Snake Miraculous to Ladybug understanding that what he was doing brought more harm than good.

As Snake Noir and remembering his time as Aspik, Adrien greatly improved using the power of Second Chance, as he shook off his desire to impress Ladybug. Following Viperion's example he turned it into calmness, focus and determination to save his friends.

As Cat Blanc, he retains most of his personality as Cat Noir, but in a more twisted way. His flirtatious behavior is used as a facade to get close to his opponents so he can attack them. His love for Ladybug had become more obsessive and, while still showing to care for her, he still tries to get her Miraculous, even if that means destroying her. His temper becomes even more intense, as he tried to destroy the whole galaxy, if not more, in anger for Ladybug not giving him her Miraculous. Also, he started to act like his father when he was Hawk Moth, having his heart go twisted by sadness, despair, and was desperate to get what he wanted despite the price. Also similar like him, Adrien seemed to overlook easier solutions to fixing a problem as he tried to use the Ultimate Power to change everything back but he forgot that Ladybug's powers can fix everything without putting the universe at risk.

He wears black cat ears and a black mask around his eyes. When transformed, his ring turns black and gains a bright green paw print on its face.

### As Mister Bug

He wears a skin-tight ladybug patterned suit with black accents on the knees, upper arms, hands and neck. He also has a yo-yo around his waist. Like Cat Noir, his hair becomes longer and untamed, which covers his normal ears.

### As Aspik

Aspik wears a green and turquoise skin-tight suit with yellow accents. He wields a lyre as his Miraculous tool.

### As Snake Noir

Snake Noir is a hybrid form of Cat Noir and Aspik. He has a black suit with turquoise parts.

## Abilities

### As a civilian

Studious and formerly home-schooled, Adrien is the top student in his class, his lowest grade being an A- in Math. He is especially good at physics. Having many extra lessons, Adrien can speak fluent Chinese and Japanese, and can even understand Morse code. He is also very skilled at piano playing and enjoys sharing musical joy with others.

Adrien is able to fight on equal grounds with his fencing teacher and fend off most of his students effortlessly with the exception of Kagami, showing great reflexes and skill for offensive or defensive movements. Other than fencing, Adrien does *Karate* and *Kung Fu*, which enables him to fight in hand-to-hand combat and briefly fight his akuma-controlled bodyguard. Furthermore, Adrien takes basketball lessons. He took interest in video games as well, being able to beat Max Kanté in *Ultimate Mecha Strike III* and achieve one of the top scores in the entire school (despite being surpassed by Marinette later). It is shown in "Mr. Pigeon" that he can whistle.

Like Marinette to a possible lesser extent Adrien has great stamina and endurance as he was able to outrun a fan mob and was able to handle to both the physical and mental strain of wielding two Miraculous together without struggle.

Though often looked down compared to Ladybug and being more simple, straightforward-minded, Adrien is very intelligent and capable. He is able to look for loopholes in his father's rules, which his friends considered "sneaky". Though restless and reckless, Cat Noir is observant, noticing where the akumas are hidden several times and finding ways to save his Miraculous even when captured. He tricked Ladybug (and indirectly the suspicious Hawk Moth) in believing he wasn't Adrien.

He further demonstrated his wits in his use with the Snake Miraculous as Snake Noir. He also suspected that Marinette was Ladybug after discovering that her kwami was in school and considering her regular disappearances (although he was tricked by her in the end).

From his lessons with Master Fu, Adrien has received the same knowledge about the history of the kwamis and the Miraculouses as Marinette, though likely less, as he wasn't prepared to become a guardian.

### As Cat Noir

Cat Noir has enhanced skills such as speed, agility, and near-invulnerability. He is fast enough to outrun a pair of panthers, meaning he is capable of running at least between 35-50 mph. His increased strength allows him to do things such as being able over shoulder throw his own bodyguard into an elevator, round house kick, punch and stomp vending machines and kitchen appliances with just one strike. His increased stamina and endurance allows him to survive being smashed into a series of cars, a face-plant into a traffic pole, being flung by Gigantitan and take a crash landing through Andre's ice cream stand without being dazed or injured. He also has good hand-to-hand combat skills when needed. Even out of "Aqua Mode" Cat Noir is a good swimmer. He can even handle temperatures as severe and absolute 0.

Like a cat, Cat Noir has enhanced senses such as hearing, smell, night vision, and has super stealth, which he sometimes used to find opponents. Also like a cat, Cat Noir can use his claws to climb up surfaces or use them to cut through things.

### As Mister Bug

He has the same abilities as Ladybug: enhanced skills like speed, agility, and strength, and near invulnerability to physical damage.

Like Ladybug, Mister Bug can wield his yo-yo remarkably well, like using it as a grappling hook, a rope to restrain others, a projectile, and a shield if he spins it fast enough. After an evil akuma is released from its corrupted object, he can open his yo-yo, throw it to grab it, and remove the energy-charged it with, releasing it as a normal butterfly.

Along with his special power, Lucky Charm, creates an object that helps him to achieve his objective, it often being to stop a villain. Though usually confused at first, his cleverness help enable him to perceive where the object can be used to help him achieve his goal. However, Lucky Charm drains his power and causing him to revert back to Adrien shortly afterward, so he has to use it wisely. Once the villain is dealt with, Mister Bug can throw his Lucky Charm object into the air and use the Miraculous Mister Bug which will make it revert back to energy and fix all of the damage done since the villain appeared.

### As Aspik

Like Viperion, Aspik has much more enhanced skills, such as speed, agility, and strength, and he is almost invulnerable to physical damage. Like a snake, he also has enhanced senses like hearing and smell as well as infrared vision and possibly the ability to feel vibrations but it is yet to be seen.

His special power, Second Chance, allows him to reverse time and change the outcome of an event, in which the power activates by sliding his finger on his Miraculous.

### As Snake Noir

Snake Noir has the powers of both Cataclysm and Second Chance, which he uses to attack and read his opponents' movements in battle, respectively.

### As Cat Blanc

As Cat Blanc, he possesses power of infinite destruction. He can use a super enhanced version of the Cataclysm, known as the Mega Cataclysm. He can also release his destructive power at long range, as a blast or as a ray. He is capable of unleashing destructive energy that could potentially destroy whole galaxies in a single strike. He can use his power an infinite number of times without his transformation dropping.
