Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir

**Adrien Agreste (aka Cat Noir)** is one of the main protagonists of *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir*. He is a student in Miss Bustier's class at Collège Françoise Dupontin Paris, France. He is also a fashion model for his father's brand. With the Cat Miraculous, when it is inhabited by Plagg, Adrien transforms into the superhero **Cat Noir** (**Chat Noir** in the French version), gaining the power of bad luck and destruction to stop Hawk Moth and his akumatized villains.

In "Reflekdoll", Adrien temporarily obtains the Ladybug Miraculous, which when inhabited by Tikki, will be able to transform him into **Mister Bug**, gaining the power of good luck and creation.

In "Desperada", Adrien temporarily obtains the Snake Miraculous, which when inhabited by Sass, will be able to transform him into **Aspik**, gaining the ability to go back in time for a Second Chance.

In "Cat Blanc", in an alternative future, Adrien, conflicted between his loyalty towards his mother and the girl he loved, is akumatized by Hawk Moth into **Cat Blanc**, a cat-themed supervillain with the power of infinite destruction.

In "Miracle Queen", after removing the Snake Miraculous from Viperion under Miracle Queen's control, Adrien wears the Snake Miraculous combined with the Cat, to become **Snake Noir**.

## Trivia

* In "Copycat", Adrien's phone number is shown to be +33635124.
* According to Gabriel Agreste's voice actor, Adrien is not allowed to play Pokémon Go.
* The name "Chat Noir" is French for "Black Cat". Some sources have called him "Black Cat" instead of Chat Noir or Cat Noir.
	+ In the Korean, Hebrew and Serbian versions, Adrien's superhero name is "Black Cat".
	+ In the Russian version, Adrien's superhero name is "Super Cat".
* His responsibilities as a superhero not only include fighting akumatized villains, but also patrolling among many other things.
* Adrien doesn't appear to have as many issues juggling his normal life with his superhero work as Marinette does. However, he does struggle on occasion, as seen in "Princess Fragrance" when he misses his chemistry class, in "Simon Says" and "Gorizilla", where he had to be in two places at the same time, and in "Backwarder" where he had to hurry back to the train before his father noticed he was gone.
	+ This might be because Nathalie arranges most of his activities (extra studying, photo shoots, fencing, Chinese and piano lessons, etc), unlike Ladybug who arranges her things alone, but it is still suffocated.
* Cat Noir has been turned evil several times so far, having fallen under the influence of Dark Cupid's hate arrows, ending up under the control of The Puppeteer, being affected by Princess Fragrance's perfume, becoming controlled by Despair Bear, then being affected by Zombizou's kiss and lastly being affected by Malediktator's declaration bubbles.
* In "Sandboy", as himself, Adrien's greatest fear is being trapped alone, and as Cat Noir, his greatest fear is Ladybug hating him.
* In the French version of "Copycat", Cat Noir calls Ladybug "Buginette" (in French, adding "-nette" to the end of a word is a way of showing affection). In the English version, he calls her "Bugaboo".
	+ In the French and Korean versions of "The Evillustrator", he called Marinette "Princess". In the English version, he calls her "little lady".
* Adrien has his own official Instagram account. You can find him under @adrienagrestebrand.
	+ According to him on his instagram page, he believes that Marinette's bracelet it's really lucky after he wins two fencing matches.
	+ Adrien mentions when having a break between photoshoots he likes to read classic novels.
	+ He also mentions in instagram when he was younger he had a fear of thunder.
	+ He says the park is one of his favorite places to do photoshoots.
	+ He enjoys doing photoshoots as Cat Noir for civilians as well as hanging out with his other allies.
	+ Despite disliking being home-schooled Adrien disliked being sick even more.
	+ Has a desire to live in a small house or like a little cute cottage.
	+ Also, he mentions that he has always wanted a sibling, and used to be close to his cousin, who he hasn't seen for nearly a year.
	+ The books that are in his room are purely decoration or Nathalie's favorite.
* As Mister Bug, Adrien mentions in "Reflekdoll", that he always wanted to capture an akuma with Ladybug's powers.
* Adrien is the only member of Miss Bustier's class or French Miraculous superhero team that wasn't akumatized in the permanent timeline.
	+ He is the first person to only be akumatized in an alternate reality.
* As of recent Season 3 spoilers, Adrien is the second person following Marinette for having the most Miraculous used on one person following the Cat Miraculous, the Ladybug Miraculous and the Snake Miraculous.
	+ He is also the second person following Marinette for having the most Miraculous transformation forms with a total of four.
	+ He is also the second person following Marinette for having the most fusion forms with Snake Noir.
	+ As of the "Battle of the Miraculous", his current Cat Noir form, his Mister Bug form in "Reflekdoll", his Aspik form in "Desperada" and his Snake Noir form have all been revealed.
* Snake Noir's name translates to "Black Snake" which refers to a species of snake that lives in North America.
* In "Cat Blanc" reveals that Adrien has a fifth first name which is Athanase.
	+ As of "Cat Blanc", Adrien has the most kill counts of all the series, since the titular villain not only cataclysmed and killed Ladybug and Hawk Moth, but the entirety of Earth's inhabitants as a result of his Mega Cataclysm destroying the moon and flooding the entire planet.
	+ Cat Blanc is also the first akumatized villain (and by extent character) to kill a member of his own family, since it's shown that Hawk Moth/Gabriel Agreste was cataclysmed and Emilie Agreste may have presumably drowned as a result of Paris' flooding after the moon's destruction (or she may have been simply cataclysmed as well).
	+ According to Thomas' tweet on "Cat Blanc", Adrien also broke the record for the longest time a person has been akumatized with it being over the course of a few months.
