* ExtremeDoormat: Ironically, given how forceful he gets with Ladybug and his SecretlySelfish nature, Adrien remains unwilling to rock the boat when it comes to things like the situation with Lila. His first instinct when faced with any kind of disagreement is to try and paper things over, and he often pushes the wounded party to be the one who apologizes.

* {{Foil}}: To Nino, Chloe Chloe, Adrien and Adrien.Felix.



** Felix effectively steps into the role she had the year before when he arrives, being a NewTransferStudent who's very interested in learning everyone's secrets. He looks down on her and the Ladyblog for her mistakes, even as he makes his own, stamping on and ignoring the feelings of others in much the same way ''she'' did in his pursuit of the truth.




to:

* {{Foil}}: To Alya, stepping into the role of 'New student with an interest in investigation and a bad habit of ignoring the human factor in the process of pursuing answers'. He also looks down upon her for the mistakes she made with the Ladyblog, even while making missteps that fall along the same general lines.
* NotHereToMakeFriends: Non-competitive version. He doesn't particularly ''care'' about his new classmates and peers; he just wants to learn everything he can about what's been going on with the 'Akuma Incubation Class', along with every other secret he can ferret out.
* WildCard: His nosiness makes him a threat to Marinette and her allies who's unrelated to Hawkmoth.
