* StupidSacrifice: Ladybug effectively treats Chat Noir's tendency to perform HeroicSacrifices (and abusing the Miraculous Cure as a ResetButton) to pointlessly gamble with his own safety like this. He even got killed by Timebreaker in the original timeline because he insisted on doing one of these when it just left Future Ladybug to fix everything.

Added DiffLines:

* MirrorCharacter:
** To Chloé. Much like his childhood friend, he puts [[ItsAllAboutMe his personal desires]] ahead of everything else; if somebody else doesn't share his feelings, then that's ''their'' problem. Biggest difference is ''how'' he justifies his self-centeredness, as he likes to believe he's got the moral high ground or that destiny is on his side, and that he puts up a pretense of decency while Chloé sees nothing wrong with being openly entitled.
** To [[spoiler:[[ArchnemesisDad his own father]]]]. Both are [[spoiler:[[ItsAllAboutMe selfish men]] [[BewareTheSuperman with dangerous superpowers]] involved in the fashion industry who are after [[TheHero Ladybug's]] SecretIdentity for their own reasons, [[LackOfEmpathy are apathetic to collateral damage]] if it gets them what they want, are [[ToxicFriendInfluence negative influences to the people around them]], [[SingleTargetSexuality are unhealthily obsessed with only one woman]] [[ObliviousToLove despite the others in their lives]], [[NoListeningSkills refuse to listen to anything they don't want to hear]] and don't know when to take "No" for an answer, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and have a]] [[KickTheDog pretty abusive relationship to their respective Kwami]] and will threaten them if they protest]]. It seems that [[spoiler:[[LikeFatherLikeSon the apple didn't fall too far from the tree]]]].
** To Nathaniel. Both are boys in Bustier's class who have been (at one point in their lives) attracted to Ladybug [[spoiler:and in a way, Marinette]], to the point of [[EntitledToHaveYou feeling entitled to her]]. Both have dreams of being seen as heroes, but both of their personalities [[ThePoorlyChosenOne don't exactly make it work]]. And both are the targets of someone else's affection, only to brush them off.


Added DiffLines:

* MirrorCharacter: To Adrien. Both young men are selfish, entitled boys who are attracted to Ladybug and [[WrongGenreSavvy view themselves as the heroes of the story]] when that's not even ''close'' to what they are. Neither takes being called out on their self-centeredness well, and resist learning anything from their experiences.

* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: At the start of the story, she's still terrified of Chloé and the latter knows that and wants to continue bullying her, and she later starts fearing Bustier because the latter won't stop pestering her to at least tutor Chloé. Part of her CharacterDevelopment involves coping with both. She eventually deals with Bustier to get her to have a HeelRealization. By the time [[SecondSuperIdentity Marigold]] [[DuelBoss defeats the Akumatized Queen Bee]], Marinette doesn't seem afraid of Chloé anymore.



* ClimaxBoss: When she becomes Queen Bee, she is the final major opponent before Tikki all-but confirms [[spoiler:Gabriel is Hawk Moth from interrogating Plagg]], when begins the story's endgame. She also serves as the final foe Marinette needed to conquer to [[GrewASpine get over]] [[NotAfraidOfYouAnymore her fear of Chloé]].



* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even she's disgusted by [[AbusiveParent Gabriel's parenting strategies]], and she bullies him into getting Adrien's grounding revoked. [[spoiler: She's also the only person willing to comfort Adrien at the end of the story post-Hawk Moth's arrest.]]



* TokenGoodTeammate: Kim is the only decent member of Marinette's former class she can bond with, especially since he took the lesson he learned after his Akumatization to heart. [[spoiler:It's why he's the first member of the class that Marinette gives a Miraculous to, albeit temporarily.]]

* BrokenPedestal: What little respect that she had for the heroes and especially Chat Noir died when she was actually dragoned into an Akuma fight and the latter [[spoiler: exposed her (fake) status as a Miraculous-user and nearly got her killed over it]].



* DemotedToExtra: Rather than becoming a major antagonistic force, she's quickly embarrassed on her first day at Dupont, and any grudge she holds against Ladybug ''pales'' in comparison to the one she's got against Hawkmoth for taking her hostage and forcing her exposure.
