Cat Noir

**Adrien Agreste** is one of the titular two main protagonists (alongside Ladybug) of *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir*. He is a student at Collège Françoise Dupont and a fashion model. With his ring which is a miraculous, inhabited by a Kwami named Plagg, he has the power of destruction and can transform into the superhero **Cat Noir** (**Chat Noir** in the French version). In Season 3, he receives the Ladybug Miraculous from Tikki as a accindental mix up, which, when inhabited by her, can transform him into **Mister Bug**, a ladybug-themed superhero, and in "Desperada", he receives the Snake Miraculous from Ladybug, which, when inhabited by the Kwami Sass, can transform him into **Aspik**, a snake-themed superhero.

## Personality

Adrien is charismatic, along with being shy and a bit reserved. While liking to have fun, he is more serious, obedient, and less lively due to his strict upbringing. If something makes him sad, he tries to downplay his feelings on it, like his relationship with his father. He thinks reasonably, and he will express annoyance and frustration when someone is being difficult or something is going wrong. Though not very openly emotional or affectionate to most people, he is friendly and encouraging, and for those he is close to, he has an easier time letting his feelings show.

As Cat Noir, Adrien, having the freedom to act however he wants outside of his normal life, lets his wilder side come out, being cocky and outgoing. More optimistic and open, Cat Noir says whatever comes to his mind and makes a lot of jokes and puns, many being cat-related. In his attempts to get Ladybug's attention, along with other people, he brags and boasts about himself, but his change to his superhero status doesn't diminish his kindness and concern for others, among a lot of his other personality traits like irritation proneness and loyalty. While more prone to goofing off, Cat Noir gets serious when needed, like when fighting an Akumatized villain. It's rare for him to reveal his vulnerable, Adrien-like side, but it does come through at times, such as quietly commenting that not all parents are loving in "The Bubbler" and trying in vain to tell Ladybug about his love for her before their transformations wear off in "Dark Cupid". Determined to help others and save the day, Cat Noir cherishes being a superhero and is uninhibited by his civilian life. He also understands that it takes more than just superpowers to be a hero or useful as seen in "Reflekta" when, even though his powers were gone, he was able to help Ladybug out of a tight spot with his quick thinking. Cat Noir is also welcoming and friendly when it comes to accepting new additions to the team, having open arms for Lila in "Volpina" and Rena Rouge in "Sapotis".

According to Ladybug in "Copycat", Cat Noir may annoy her to pieces but he's never lied to her, meaning that he is honest. Also, as Cat Noir, Adrien has the people's loyalty, respect, trust, and help when he needs it, as seen in "Reflekta" and "Gorizilla".

As Aspik, Adrien retains more of his personality as a civilian rather than as Cat Noir. However, despite being still trustworthy and faithful, his crush on Ladybug prevents him from doing a good job fighting Desperada. On a desperate move to impress her as Adrien, he disregards the villain's movements and keeps using his power to get 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.

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 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.
