History Fanfic / TheFoxOfMarseille

* Adaptationa;Sexuality:

* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: As a teenager, Chloé was the school bully and frequent catalyst for akumatization. While Chloé has grown out of some of that, she now gets ''paid'' to be a bitch in her career as a fashion critic.

* AdaptationSexuality:

* ForWantOfANail: In the show, Alya's family moves to Paris and she meets the others during High School. Here, she does not come to Paris until after school, Ladybug and Chat Noir having defeated Le Papillon and have been working as heroes for years while Rena Rouge has a few years of experience herself. She is also familiar with Nino, him having moved to Paris from the same hometown in his teens.

With a frustrating but promising new job, old and new friends, and a cute new love interest, Alya may have found home in Paris. If only it wasn't for that annoying Ladybug...

* AbdicateTheThrone: After Gabriel is outed as Le Papillon and sent to prison, Adrien inherits everything, including the family fortune, the mansion and Gabriel's fashion empire. Rather than keeping it, he gives away the company, has the house converted into a school and donates much of his fortune, keeping just enough to live comfortably as he becomes a teacher himself.

* AmazonChaser: While Alya thinks Marinette is cute enough when she is being her meek and altruistic self, Alya is quick to demand that they leave Adrien's party to have sex when Marinette voices her passionate opinion about how much of an AlphaBitch Chloé was in High School.

* ClosetKey: [[spoiler: This seems to be the case with Nino and Adrien, having had various unusual circumstances leading to them kissing, Adrien eventually being invited by Nino and his wife into a [[{{Polyamory}} polyamorous relationship]].]]
* TheCowl: In-contrast to Ladybug and Chat Noir's [[TheCape Cape]] status, Rena Rouge is much edgier than the two. While Ladybug and Chat Noir are very public in their activities, Rena Rouge avoids actively contributing to the media (ironic, considering that her civilian job is a reporter). While Ladybug and Chat Noir prop themselves up as inspirations to the people of Paris, Rena Rouge prefers focusing on being feared by the criminal population.
* EveryoneIsBi: [[AdaptationalSexuality Alya is bi, Marinette is bi, Marinette's grandmother is bi, Kagami is bi and Nino suspects that Adrien is bi]] ([[spoiler:later confirmed when he, Nino and his wife Kiki experiment with {{Polyamory}}, so that makes the Lahiffes bi as well]]). A better question would be who ''isn't''.
* ForWantOfANail: In the show, Alya's family moves to Paris and she meets the others during High School. Here, she does not come to Paris until after school, Ladybug and Chat Noir having defeated Le Papillon and have been working as heroes for years while Rena Rouge has a few years of experience herself. She is also familiar with Nino, him having moved to Paris from the same home town in his teens.

* JadeColoredGlasses: While Alya used to be a Ladybug superfan, she would later find her methods lackluster when she received her own miraculous, being more used to fighting more realistic monsters like thugs, rapists and drug-dealers rather than comic book supervillains like Le Papillon.
* LikesClarkKentHatesSuperman: Rena Rouge and Ladybug do '''not''' get along. Rena Rouge thinks that Ladybug deals purely in half-measures with no real comprehension of the gravity of their jobs, while Ladybug thinks that Rena Rouge is a cutthroat loose-cannon that goes too far in her tactics and can very well kill someone at any point. What makes this funny is that Alya [[LoveAtFirstSight ends up falling in love with Marinette the moment she meets her]] (and was a Ladybug superfan), and the feelings are mutual.

* TerrorHero: Due to the much higher crime rate and the seedier nature of Marseille's criminal underworld compared to GayParee, Rena Rouge has adopted a much more brutal (usually leading to permanently debilitating injuries) tactics, seeing them as a more affective deterrent than the Cat and Bug's method of handling things.

* {{Asexuality}}: In-contrast to the [[CastFullOfGay Cast Full of]] [[EveryoneIsBi Bi]], Alix causally mentions that she is asexual.

* AmazonChaser: While Alya thinks Marinette is cute enough when she is being her meek and altruistic self, Alya is quick to demand that they leave Adrien's party to have sex when Marinette voices her passionate opinion about how much of an AlphaBitch Chloe was in High School.

* NoodleIncident: Apparently Marinette briefly dated Chloe. ''Very'' briefly.

* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: As a teenager, Chloe was the school bully and frequent catalyst for akumatization. While Chloe has grown out of some of that, she now gets ''paid'' to be a bitch in her career as a fashion critic.

* TokenLesbian: In a cast where everyone is either bisexual or some other undeclared orientation, the fact that Chloe is just a straight-up lesbian feels unusual.

* NoodleIncident: Apparently [[FoeYay Marinette briefly dated Chloe]]. ''Very'' briefly.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: When Marinette and Adrien vocie their concerns about Rena Rouge's method of handling things, using her illusions to psychologically mess with a group of bank robbers, Tikki and Plagg insist that it is in the Fox's nature to look worse than it actually is.
