History Fanfic / TalesOfKarmicLiesAftermath

** Harry Hood to both Adrien and Lila. Much like Adrien before him, Harry is a ShelteredAristocrat who transfers into a public school and quickly establishes that he doesn't like getting involved in conflict. He also has many of the same ties Lila ''claimed'' to have, including credibility-straining incidents such as risking his life to save a gala host’s pets. Unlike either of them, however, he is legitimately a good person, and nowhere near as naive or self-absorbed. [[spoiler:He's also a GuileHero who outplays and outwits Lila, setting her up for her karmic downfall while using methods similar to hers. Plus his dislike for conflict is due to the discomfort in having to read the minds of those involved in a conflict nearby]].

** In the first part of the United Heroez visit arc, Ignoblia reached Earth, [[TakeOverTheWorld seeking to conquer it and the human race.]] She is said to be pretty much the most dangerous villain the heroes have faced since Hawk Moth. Her battle with her sister Majestia is said to have devastated both a planet and its moon. [[TheDreaded Even Chloé knows that it would've been a mistake to try and threaten her, even when she was at her worst.]] And as the United Heroez got ready to confront her, Majestia doesn't sugarcoat the fact that the upcoming battle could leave her dead. [[HeroicSacrifice But she is very willing to go through with such a fate to make sure Ignoblia won't hurt anyone ever again.]] [[PreSacrificeFinalGoodbye She pulled her daughter in for one last tearful hug before they departed for Paris.]] And when they arrived, [[AntiClimax they find that the Paris heroes have already utterly defeated Ignoblia,]] [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome with the heroes going on about how they did it as the American heroes just took it all in.]]

** [[spoiler:Dr Heinrich Strucker, however, was a much worse emotionally and physically abusive parent to his daughter Henrietta]].

* TheDogBitesBack: Lila’s new class learns about Dr Heinrich Strucker, a Nazi scientist who conducted experiments on the people of a French village. Though his death during the liberation of Paris was ruled as a ‘wild animal attack’, most historians agree that it's more likely the villagers took their vengeance on him. [[spoiler:The truth is that he met his end at the hands of his telepathic daughter Henrietta, whom he had physically and emotionally abused.]]

** [[spoiler:Dr Heinrich Strucker’s death at the hands of his daughter Henrietta is directly compared to ''Literature/{{Carrie}}'']].

* CrazyPrepared: {{Downplayed}}; Marinette spends a ''lot'' of time planning out how to deal with various scenarios, such as anticipating the idea that [[spoiler:somebody might try to rob known Miraculous users]]. {{Justified}} in the instance of Ignoblia's arrival, as she explains that [[spoiler:Bunnyx mentioned her as one of the villains the future version of her defeated]], so she anticipated having to face her someday.

* BerserkButton: Adrien has become one for Alya as Jessica and Aeon finds out.

** While discussing the CGI models used to play the kwami in ''Ladybug: Miraculous Journey'', Nooroo shudders as he mentions some 'alternate models' they were shown when [[TooManyCooksSpoilTheSoup someone was pushing to]] make them '[[UnintentionalUncannyValley more realistic]]' with Plagg saying that [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog if they actually used those designs, then the backlash would be so big they would have to delay the movie in order to fix them]].
