Barkk

**Barkk**is a supporting character of *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir*. She is the kwami of **Adoration** who is connected to the Dog Miraculous. With her power, Barkk's wearer can use the collar necklace to transform into a dog-themed superhero.

Barkk and her Miraculous are currently owned by Sabrina Raincomprix, who uses it to transform into the superheroine **Miss Hound**.

## Appearance

Barkk is 10 centimeters (or 4 inches) tall and is light brown with a white mark around her mouth, between her eyes, and on her chest. She has dark grayish cyan eyes, drop ears, a whisker on her forehead, and a pink tongue. She also has a tail that curves upwards.

## Personality

Barkk is protective, dutiful and obedient, as seen in "Furious Fu" when she agreed with Marinette's reasoning of someone needing to stay behind and guard the Miracle Box and volunteering to stay and keep a lookout for trouble.

She also has very good instincts, as she sensed something terrible was going to happen in "Furious Fu", and was proven right when Su-Han arrived to take back the Miracle Box.

On occasion, Barkk is known to be playful, as she joined in playing with one of Marinette's designer hats with her fellow kwamis. She also gets very excited as the prospect of something new, getting a new holder for example.

## Abilities

Barkk can fly, levitate, and phase through solid objects. She can also carry objects that are larger and/or heavier than herself.

As a kwami, Barkk is able to transform the holder of the Dog Miraculous into a dog-themed superhero, giving them the ability Fetch. This ability allows them to teleport any object they hit with their Ball into their possession.

## Relationships

### Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug

Barkk is very understanding with Marinette, as shown in "Furious Fu".

She also deeply likes Marinette and wishes to be with her, as she screamed for her help as she was unwillingly pulled through Monarch's Voyage portal in "Destruction".

### Alya Césaire/Rena Rouge

Alya meets Barkk and her fellow kwamis after Marinette tells her that she is Ladybug.

### Sabrina Raincomprix/Miss Hound

Barkk's relationship with Sabrina is not shown.

### Félix Fathom/Flairmiable

Barkk's relationship with Félix is not shown. But it is presumed it was soured when Félix gave the yo-yo to Gabriel Agreste who then proceeded to steal all the Miraculouses. Shortly after Félix renounced Barkk and also gave her to Gabriel, which might have soured their relationship even more.

## Trivia

* Barkk was first revealed from a second season trailer on August 31, 2017.
	+ Barkk's name was confirmed in the credits of the Latin American Spanish dub of "Sandboy".
* Dogs are symbols of loyalty, assistance, protection, communication, and more.
* The dog is the eleventh animal of the Chinese zodiac.
* It's fitting that Barkk's power is fetch because it's a common game for people to play with dogs.
* Starting in season 4, Barkk is voiced by a girl named Sabrina in the English version. Coincidentally, the holder she gains in said season is also named Sabrina.
* Barkk is the eighth kwami to be used for evil, though briefly, following Nooroo, Duusu, Plagg (in an alternative timeline in "Cat Blanc" and "Ephemeral"), Pollen (briefly in "Miracle Queen"), Liiri (briefly in "Miraculous New York"), Wayzz (briefly in "Optigami" and later in "Strikeback") and Tikki (in an alternative timeline in "Ephemeral"). Barkk and her Miraculous were used for evil in "Strikeback" by Flairmidable, who used them to get all the Miraculouses of the Chinese Miracle Box to trade them with Gabriel Agreste for the Peacock Miraculous.
