*** Finally, Trixie is Adrien's counterpart, being the only one who knows Lila is lying but refusing to expose her for risk of akumatization and dismissing her lies as "harmless". When Adrien points out that ''his'' friends are getting harmed by them, she simply tells him that they're used to the pain (being Hawk Moth's most frequent victims), so it doesn't matter.

Added DiffLines:

** Ms. Bonaparte is a counterpart to Ms. Bustier, and she horrifies the other teacher with her willingness to let her students get away with their bullying (and let Lila specifically manipulate them and herself). For bonus points, seeing how her counterpart behaves leads to Bustier having a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment over how she treats her own class and seeking to rectify that.
** Vin is Alya's counterpart, running a tabloid-like news site about Ladybug and Chat Noir, taking Lila's word at face value, and being stubborn enough to refuse any criticism or attempts to get him to see the truth. Alya's quick to dismiss his articles as nothing more than lie-driven clickbait.
** Zero is Alix's counterpart (and Kim's, though they never meet), being the student that's quickest to resort to physically bullying anyone (e.g. tripping Alix and Nathaniel) who supposedly harmed Lila and insisting it's "justice".
** Newton is Rose's counterpart, being Lila's victim when she pulls the salt fic-typical FakeCharity scam. WordOfGod also compares him to Max, [[KnowNothingKnowItAll claiming to be a genius yet being dumb enough to fall for Lila's claims]] (e.g. refusing to listen to Rose when she points out Prince Ali doesn't support this supposed charity).
