History ScarletLady / TropesNToO

** When Chloé is found to have copied Marinette's design for the hat contest, she attempts to throw Sabrina under the bus by insisting it was all ''her'' idea. She does this again when the class discovers Sabrina's hand caught in Marinette's diary trap in "Darkblade."

** Chloé blames Chat Noir as she plummets towards the ground after falling out of Rogercop's car when one of the rear doors opens during Chat Noir's attempted rescue. However, she was the one who got herself and Marinette kidnapped in the first place when she willingly got inside the akuma's car after throwing Marinette in. Moreover, Chloé didn't bother putting on her seatbelt once the car took flight, something Marinette even pointed out to her.
** After tossing away Alix's watch and letting it shatter, Chloé sneers that it never would've happened if Alix hadn't trusted "the blogger" or "Clumsinette" to take care of it. Alya and Adrien retort that ''she'' was the one who took it and threw it to the ground, but Alix [[TakeAThirdOption blames everyone involved]].

** Upon learning Adrien's been grounded for losing his father's book, Chloé declares it's Lila's fault for stealing it. Chloé had a perfect opportunity to retrieve the book after Lila had thrown it away but refused because she was disgusted that it had been fished out of the trash and decided to get revenge on Lila instead.

** Chloé is responsible for Wang Cheng's akumatization in "Kung Food," but when he's about to turn her into a soup ingredient, she claims she did nothing to deserve it.
** Chloé puts all the blame on Sabrina for getting akumatized in "Vanisher," but [[spoiler:by then, Sabrina has decided they are no longer friends]]. At the end of the episode, after [[spoiler:the new hero Marigold appears for the first time]], Tikki tells Chloé that Chat Noir needs more help after she failed to show up on time (or at all in the last case) for the last three akumas. In response, Chloé disclaims responsibility for not being able to help as Scarlet Lady when she gets tied up in her civilian identity or kidnapped by akumas, which would probably hold more water if she actually pulled her weight during the times she did show up and hadn't been behind the akumatizations of a lot of the villains who threatened her. She just declares that it isn't her fault [[YoureJustJealous the akumas are jealous of her]].
--->'''Tikki''': Pretty sure jealousy's not the problem.
** In "Dark Cupid," Chloé claims that Kim has no reason to have anything against her, completely forgetting that she, at least to her knowledge, coldly rejected him earlier[[note]]She had actually ruined Kim's attempt to give Ondine a Valentine's Day present after mistaking his gift for Ondine as being for herself[[/note]].

** In "Malediktator", Chloé makes her father mad enough to be akumatized by leaving Paris over his refusal to close down the school and banish Zoé over the latter not knowing who Scarlet Lady is. Chloé later claims her father's akumatization was Zoé's fault for letting their classmates gang up on her and Scarlet Lady.

* NoOntologicalInertia: In "Timebreaker", Scarlet Lady [[spoiler:gets touched by the villain, but drops her yo-yo in surprise, so it doesn't fade away with her. This allows Marinette to create a way for Chat Noir to travel back in time with Timebreaker, and he still has the yo-yo after that until the WorldHealingWave]].

* {{Not}}: Chloé pulls this on Rose when she asks her to deliver a love letter to Prince Ali.
--> '''Rose''': Could you give him this letter?\\
'''Chloé''': But of '''course'''!....'''NOT!''' ''(ripping the letter in half)''
* NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught: When Adrien and Plagg steal Gabriel's book on Tibet and Adrien asks if rebellion is "supposed to feel like you're gonna barf", Plagg answers "Only if you get caught".

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: The webcomic often skips over battle details that would have been about the same as the show. For example in one strip Marinette suggests to Chat Noir that he Cataclysm the Gamer's mecha -- in the next strip, "Hey, it worked!"
** In "Princess Fragrance", [[spoiler:Marigold easily defeats the brainwashed Chat Noir, Kagami, Mayor Bourgeois and Prince Ali's assistant offscreen]].

** Marinette ''and Pollen'' each have an ''epic'' sweating face when Pixelator manages to photograph Penny.

** In "Prime Queen", [[spoiler:Plagg says "Oh no" as Adrien starts suspecting Marinette is Marigold]].

** Marinette in "Style Queen" when she learns Audrey Bourgeois is attending the fashion show.
** Also in "Style Queen", Plagg and Tikki have this kind of reaction when [[spoiler:both Adrien and Chloé are turned into statues]].
--->'''Plagg:''' Welp, that's a problem\\

** During "Lady [=WiFi=]", Sabrina implies that Chloé's decision to get Alya ''suspended'' rather than just getting her into trouble strikes her as such, as it took her completely off guard.
* OralFixation: Théo has a striped lollipop stick in his mouth in the early parts of "Copycat", as well as the episode's splash card image. It gets crinkled up after Scarlet rejects him, reflecting his mood.

* OverlyLongGag: In "Intermission 2", after Nathalie forbids Adrien from going out, he dramatically laments to Plagg how ''Adrien'' ([[LoopholeAbuse as opposed to Chat Noir]]) won't be able to go hang out with his friends.

** The subtitle of "Sapotis" is simply "Tales of the Césaire Twins," breaking the comic's "Tales of (X) the (Y) theme.

* OverlyLongGag: After Nathalie forbids Adrien from going out, he dramatically laments to Plagg how ''Adrien'' ([[LoopholeAbuse as opposed to Chat Noir]]) won't be able to go hang out with his friends.

* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:Zombizou manages to infect both Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady thanks to the latter's attempts to attack Marinette; had Marigold not ended up getting her NextTierPowerUp, the akuma would've won.]]

** Chloé puts all the blame on Sabrina for getting akumatized in "Vanisher," but [[spoiler:by then, Sabrina has decided they are no longer friends]]. At the end of the episode, after [[spoiler:the new hero Marigold appears for the first time]], Tikki tells Chloé that Chat Noir needs more help after she failed to show up on time (or at all in the last case) for the last three akumas, to which Chloé says it's because [[YoureJustJealous the akumas are jealous of her]] and that it isn't her fault.

** Mme. Bustier helps set the conflict of "La Befana" into motion by forcing Alya to invite Chloé to Marinette's birthday party.

'''Marigold''': It's '''fine'''. It was just because of the akuma, right? It didn't mean anything, so let's drop it.

** "Origins: Part 2" is the only episode so far that uses a character's super identity (Chat Noir) in the subtitle rather than their civilian name.
** The subtitle of "Sapotis" is simply "Tales of the Césaire Twins", breaking the comic's "Tales of (X) the (Y) theme.

* {{Nerf}}: Discussed in the notes for the 13th page of ''Reflekta'', where the author comments that the canon episode "nerfed Chat Noir" (by Reflekta-izing him) because of how easy it would have been for Chat (who has InnateNightVision) to win against Reflekta once she turned off the lights- which is what happens when Maotif (Marinette with the Cat ring) goes up against her.

*** While Scarlet Lady's DisproportionateRetribution was unjustified, Lila was still the one who lied about being friends with the heroine in the first place. Plus, since she let her lies be posted on Alya's blog, even if ScarletLady weren't an AlphaBitch, it was only a matter of time before Lila's CelebrityLie got exposed. She also failed to research Scarlet Lady's actions and mentality before making her claim, which might have also led her to finding out that the heroine is a StalkerWithACrush to Adrien.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Cornered in "Zombizou", Marigold [[spoiler:unlocks a new power: "Bee Balm", that releases a bee swarm which can undo akuma effects on people, such as zombification]].

** {{Downplayed}} in "Gamer". Nino joins Max's ''Ultimate Mecha Strike 3'' tournament just to boost the numbers and draw more attention to it. Max rewards him by making a snide comment about his low score.

** Marinette ''and Pollen'' have an ''epic'' sweating face when Pixelator manages to photograph Penny.

%%** Master Fu and Wayzz when they realize Marinette didn't get the Ladybug Miraculous.
%%** Reflekta when Adrien turns off the lights and [[spoiler:Maotif]] shows up behind her, ready to pounce on her.
%%** Marinette has such a moment in "Timebreaker" when her argument with Scarlet Lady gets interrupted by [[spoiler:Timebreaker tagging Scarlet Lady]].
%%** Adrien and Nino in "Simon Says" when Simon's challenge to hypnotize Gabriel Agreste is announced.
%%** In "Kung Food", Tikki has a major one when she realizes that Chloé not only left her behind, but that the person currently holding her is about to become an Akuma.
%%** Luka when he realizes that [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] has a crush on him.
%%** Chloé has such a moment in "Silencer" when she sees Luka being akumatized ''right in front of her''.
%%--->'''Chloé''': And also- Oh [[SymbolSwearing €%$#]].
%%** Marinette has a moment of this in "Zombizou" when [[spoiler:Scarlet Lady gets kissed]].

-->'''Adrien:''' Man, Plagg. It sure sucks that '''Adrien''' isn't allowed out.\\

'''Adrien:''' ''[puts on some piano music from his phone]'' And that '''Adrien''' has to practice piano.\\

'''Adrien:''' ''[clenching his fists as tears well in his eyes]'' And that '''Adrien'''--\\

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** PlayedWith regarding Adrien. The added stress that he's under from serving as Scar's more competent 'sidekick' bleeds over into his 'regular' life, such as when he snaps at Nathalie to pass on a colorful message to his father or stands up to Chloé. These moments tend to shock his oppressors, unused to having him stand up to them.
** During "Lady [=WiFi=]", Sabrina implies that Chloé's decision to get Alya ''suspended'' rather than just getting her into trouble strikes her as such, as it took her completely off guard.

'''Plagg:''' I get it already! Just suite up!

*** The beginning of her HumiliationConga was entirely her own fault, as she stole Adrien's father's book of her own volition and then threw it away to dispose of the evidence in an attempt to win Adrien over, failing to notice from his expression that he hates the heroine.
*** While Scarlet Lady's DisproportionateRetribution was unjustified, Lila was still the one who lied about being friends with the heroine in the first place. She also failed to research Scarlet Lady's actions and mentality before making her claim, which might have also led her to finding out that the heroine is a StalkerWithACrush to Adrien.

** Chloé puts all the blame on Sabrina for getting akumatized in "Vanisher," but [[spoiler:by then, Sabrina has decided they are no longer friends]]. At the end of the episode, after [[spoiler:the new hero Marigold appears for the first time]], Tikki tells Chloé that Chat Noir needs more help after she failed to show up on time (or at all in the last case) for the last 3 akumas, to which Chloé says it's because [[YoureJustJealous the akumas are jealous of her]] and that it isn't her fault.

* NewspaperThinDisguise: Chloé hides behind a newspaper to spy on her classmates in "Animan". [[TemptingFate Right after]] she describes her plan as "so original and genius", it's revealed to the readers that another person is using the same trick while sitting next to her.

** Subverted in "The Collector." Marinette hears about Adrien being in trouble for losing his father's book and goes to the Agreste mansion to try and get Gabriel to reverse Adrien's punishment, telling him that she already found the book and returned it to Adrien. This all happens right as Adrien is about to tell Gabriel that he found the book, [[spoiler:having just gotten it back after giving it to Master Fu shortly after Marinette returned it]], so he can only corroborate her story by pulling the book out of his bag and confirming he's had it all along. Gabriel then asks why he didn't say anything earlier, putting Adrien in the difficult position of being unable to reveal the truth but also looking suspicious if he doesn't give a reason for not mentioning sooner that the book had been found. Fortunately, Adrien pulls off a SeamlessSpontaneousLie and convinces the two that it was because his father wouldn't have listened even if he had tried to tell him.

* NominalHero: Chloé is ''technically'' a superhero, but is vain, cruel, and utterly incompetent, and is only in it for fame and glory.

* NoodleIncident: Fang apparently ruined Bob Roth's car in the past, which is why Jagged is helping Chloé in her bid for class president. He still thinks it was WorthIt.

'''Master Fu:''' NOT MY FAULT!!\\
'''Narration:''' Well, who's fault IS it Fu?!
** When Chloé is found to have copied Marinette's design for the derby hat contest, she attempts to throw Sabrina under the bus by insisting it was all ''her'' idea. She does this again when the class discovers Sabrina's hand caught in Marinette's diary trap.

** After tossing Alix's watch into her path and shattering, Chloé sneers that it never would've happened if Alix hadn't trusted "the blogger" or "Clumsinette" to take care of it. Alya and Adrien retort that ''she'' was the one who took it and threw it to the ground, but Alix [[TakeAThirdOption blames everyone involved]].
** It's from [[spoiler:hearing Timebreaker shout "My watch"]] that the second timeline's Chloé [[spoiler:drops Alix's watch, but Timebreaker blames it on Chat Noir]].

** Upon learning Adrien's been grounded for losing his father's book, Chloé declares it's Lila's fault for stealing it. Chloé had a perfect opportunity to retrieve the book after Lila had thrown it away but didn't because she was disgusted that it had been in the trash and decided to get revenge on Lila instead.

** Chloé is responsible for Wang Cheng's akumatization in "Kung Food," but when he's about to turn her into a soup's ingredient, she claims she did nothing to deserve it.
** Chloé puts all the blame on Sabrina for getting akumatized in "Vanisher," but by then, Sabrina has decided they are no longer friends. At the end of the episode, after [[spoiler:the new hero Marigold appears for the first time]], Tikki tells Chloé that Chat Noir needs more help after she failed to show up on time (or at all in the last case) for the last 3 akumas, to which Chloé says it's because [[YoureJustJealous the akumas are jealous of her]] and that it isn't her fault.

Fortunately, Adrien pulls off a SeamlessSpontaneousLie and convinces the two that it was because his father wouldn't have listened to him even if he had tried.

* NonIndicativeName: Despite the title, the series is still more Marinette and Adrien's story, except now Marinette doesn't have the powers to really fight Akuma and has to often provide support while Chat Noir does a majority of the heavy lifting. Chloé... "helps" from time to time but is far more worthless than in the canon series. Being near useless in a fight, mocking people in her hero persona, and hanging back from the danger, she’s treated more like a necessary annoyance since her Lucky Charm and Miraculous are still needed to beat the Akumas and repair their damage. Yet she still gets the credit after everything's said and done, much to Chat Noir's chagrin.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Tikki takes a great deal of pleasure in making Chloé's life difficult as retribution for her being a terrible hero.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Kim tries to declare his love for Ondine but Chloé makes her think it's for her.
