| 4 | !! Infinity Train |
| 5 | A supernatural train that seemingly goes on forever, that takes people from various worlds and puts them through tests in order to help them work out their issues. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | !!! Passengers |
| 8 | The passengers of the Train itself, taken from their worlds and placed within its many cars in order to work out their issues and come out as mentally healthier people. |

| 11 | [[folder:Miraculous World Passenger]] |
| 12 | A passenger from a world with Miraculous, whose arrival lead to the creation of the Kwamizens. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * TheGhost: They're only mentioned in the past tense by Bakku, and they've left the Infinity Train a long time ago by the time we hear about them. |
| 15 | * MysteriousPast: They're a native of a world with Kwamis whose arrival on the Train created the Kwamizens. That's all we know about them so far. |
| 16 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: They're no longer around when Bakku mentions them, but Kwamizens exist thanks to them. |

| 19 | [[folder:Simon Laurent]] |
| 20 | !! Simon Laurent |
| 21 | The former co-leader of the Apex, who died sometime before the events of the story. |
| 22 | ---- |
| 23 | * InSpiteOfANail: Despite the other changes to the Infinity Train side of the story present, Simon still wound up kicking the bucket like in canon. |
| 24 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: His entire character wasn't known until Book 2, and his ultimate fate until Book 3, but both are confirmed, or at least implied, when the Apex remnants appear for the first time. |
| 25 | * PosthumousCharacter: He's long since died by the time we meet Grace and the Apex remnants in-story. |
| 26 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: While the Apex in general have had a hand in the remnants' bad time, Simon's rule in particular has left Grace with the most amount of baggage out of everyone, all without mentioning how it probably lead to everyone's perception of the Apex ''worsening'' as a result of his rule. |
| 27 | * TheUsurper: He usurped Grace as the leader of the Apex, which caused them to come into conflict and eventually led to his death. |
| 28 | [[/folder]] |
| 29 | |
| 30 | [[folder:The Apex]] |
| 31 | Originally a group of Passengers who thought the Infinty Train was theirs for the taking, Grace's lies being exposed and learning the truth about the Infinity Train caused most of them to disperse, and now are nothing more than a thing of the past, with only some remnants remaining. |
| 32 | ---- |
| 33 | * BreakingTheFellowship: The combination of Grace revealing the truth and learning the true nature of the Infinity Train caused most of them to split off from her and go on their own merry way. |
| 34 | * InSpiteOfANail: The Apex still found out that Grace lied to them and decided to split off from her and go on their own journeys, with only four of them choosing to stick to her side. |
| 35 | * KidsAreCruel: Most of the Apex was composed of children, and all of them were perfectly willing to throw Denizens on the wheels back when they still thought the Train was a game. |
| 36 | * ObliviouslyEvil: They had a habit of wheeling Denizens under the idea that it was all part of a game, and otherwise had no idea how the train actually worked or ''why'' they were there in the first place. |
| 37 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: They're not even around in any significant capacity anymore, but their years of wheeling Denizens leads not only to several Denizens resenting and distrusting the former Apex members, but eventually catches the attention of Amelia Hughes, who intends to get rid of every remaining member, former or not, in order to ensure the Apex ceases to be. |
| 38 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: In the original ''Blossoming Trail'', The Apex were the targets of multiple groups who wanted them dead, ranging from Kisaragi's Solitaire army to the Cage of Flauros. While it's unknown if the former still exists, the latter [[spoiler:are a section of Chloes working under the Vermillion Citadel and Lady Destiny]], meaning they're no longer their main target. |
| 39 | * UncertainDoom: Most of them split off from Grace upon realizing she lied and that the Train was no game, but considering how most of the Train treated the remnants under Grace and how Amelia is currently hunting down for any remaining trace of the Apex, it's unclear how many of them managed to live long after the team split apart. |
| 40 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Their unfortunate claim to infamy; while believing the Train to be nothing more than a game, they threw Denizens into the wheels in order to get their numbers to grow bigger. |

| 42 | |
| 43 | [[folder:Amelia Hughes]] |
| 44 | !! Amelia Hughes |
| 45 | The former Conductor of the Train, who shows up in Azada alongside her assistant, Hazel. |
| 46 | ---- |
| 47 | * AbusiveParents: As much as a parent she can be; she consistently treats Hazel, whom she created to act as the daughter she could never have with Alrich, as a subordinate at best, with her constantly rejecting any idea that the two are related. |
| 48 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Amelia was a morally gray character in the original canon, and could be cantankerous but otherwise civil. This Amelia is not only more inherently hostile, but is much more visibly hard to approach, especially when Hazel is concerned. |
| 49 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: |
| 50 | ** Amelia barely even cared about The Apex in both canon and the original trilogy. In here, she's hunting them down in order to get rid of them for good. |
| 51 | ** Amelia and Titus never really interacted in the original trilogy. In here, she wastes no time asking him if he's seen The Apex, and the book king is scared out of his wits. |
| 52 | ** Amelia and Chloe soon formed a bond in the original trilogy, and the former became one of the latter's biggest supporters. In here, the two are complete strangers, which might be for the better considering Amelia's nastier attitude. |
| 53 | ** Amelia and Hazel didn't get to interact a lot in canon, and the ''Blossomverse'' had their relationship start out rocky but eventually develop into something much friendlier. ''Wake Me Up'' instead has their relationship be much more frosty, at least partially as a result of Amelia treating Hazel like a coworker, and one she doesn't treat particularly well to boot. |
| 54 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Amelia was originally a neutral party in the original trilogy before joining the Red Lotus Trio in their quest to stop the Apex. In here, not only has she no connection with either member, but she acts |
| 55 | * AndThenWhat: Her [[spoiler:willing association with Lady Destiny]] causes Hazel to call her out over this in regards to her hunt for the Apex: considering the fact that Amelia's thirty years of neglect as the former Conductor has caused her number to grow ''so big'' that it's guaranteed that she's going to drop dead on the Train long before her number becomes zero and gives her a chance to go. However, even if this happened, the world would've changed so much in the three decades Amelia was stuck on the train that she would be a complete stranger in an unfamiliar land. [[spoiler:Amelia shocks Hazel for her trouble]] but there's a clear implication that she actually ''doesn't'' have a clear answer for the question. |
| 56 | * BadBoss: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with her and Hazel. While she doesn't outright mistreat her or abuses her [[spoiler:until the end of the introduction arc,]] she does consistently deny any affection towards her own creation, and typically acts stern whenever she speaks to her. |
| 57 | * BadassNormal: She's a woman pushing her sixties who not only has all sorts of gadgets at her disposal, but is also strong enough to snap the neck of a bookworm. |
| 58 | * BerserkButton: ''Do not'' claim her quest to stop the Apex is for nothing. [[spoiler:Hazel got electrocuted for saying so.]] |
| 59 | * {{Determinator}}: Nothing will stop Amelia from getting rid of the Apex once and for all, even if she has to [[spoiler:join forces with a shady figure in Lady Destiny]] to do it. |
| 60 | * DiplomaticImpunity: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]]. When Grace tries to suggest Titus could simply kick Amelia out of Azada if she starts prodding too hard. The giant book ruler simply replies that, as the former Conductor and now One-One's underling, Amelia has the equivalent of diplomatic immunity in being able to go to wherever Car she desires and doing whatever she wants. |
| 61 | * DramaticallyMissingThePoint: "Apex Martyrdom" has One-One give her a convincing argument as to why The Apex shouldn't be rid of immediately like she wants, citing how this might cause the passengers who are ordinary people to believe the train wants to kill them. Amelia not only sees this as proof that One-One is an AccompliceByInaction, but then decides to take matters into her own hands [[spoiler:creating something to hunt the Apex.]] |
| 62 | * TheDreaded: Grace ''panics'' when she sets foot into Azada, and for good reason. Even Titus, as hard as he tries to stay calm, is visibly disturbed by her sudden visit. |
| 63 | * EasilyImpressed: She's somehow intrigued at the "detach your thumb" magic trick even though Hazel herself knows that it's the oldest trick in the book. |
| 64 | * IgnoredEpiphany: One-One makes her see that dealing incorrectly with The Apex could cause the non-empowered passengers to revolt... but she just takes it to mean One-One refuses to take action and she has to get her hands dirty. |
| 65 | * InsistentTerminology: She refuses to call Hazel by her name, instead deciding to call her by her serial name. She also sticks to "they/them" and "it" pronouns when talking about her, despite Hazel clearly identifying as a girl. |
| 66 | * InsaneTrollLogic: When Hazel shows her the same "pull your finger" magic trick that Grace just did, Amelia doesn't take it as proof that it's the former Apex leader. Why? Because the only people who could pull off their fingers and be fine are Denizens, of course! |
| 67 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: Her role as the former Conductor is laid bare on the table with little fanfare. The fact she created Hazel is also nonchalantly revealed as well. |
| 68 | * MissedHimByThatMuch: She's on the hunt for The Apex for some reason, but while Hazel manages to find a few kids, Amelia only ever finds Grace while she's disguised as a librarian. And while she ''does'' think she's suspicious, she quickly abandons the idea she might be Grace when she's shown the "pull your finger" magic trick. |
| 69 | * NeckSnap: Not herself, but this is how she kills one of the bookworms at the Azada Car. |
| 70 | * NeverMessWithGranny: She's an engineer pushing her 60s, and she snaps the neck of a Bookworm with little problem. |
| 71 | * NotSoAboveItAll: She's a stoic, aloof sixty-year-old engineer who somehow is shocked when Grace (disguised as a librarian) pulls off the "detach your thumb" trick. |
| 72 | * ThatThingIsNotMyChild: She never says this, but she clearly sees Hazel, whom she created with her and Alrich's DNA, to not be her daughter and just a subordinate. |
| 73 | * WouldHurtAChild: She's hunting down for the Apex this time around, which would include the four kids that accompany Grace. And in a much darker example, [[spoiler:she essentially electrocutes and cowers Hazel into staying quiet when the hybrid tries to call her out over willingly joining forces with Lady Destiny just to get rid of the Apex.]] |

| 76 | [[folder:Angie]] |
| 77 | !! Angie Morpheus / Night Mare |
| 78 | Originally a mysterious, fully cloaked being, she eventually turns out to be Angie, a girl from the Pokemon World who serves as the master of Screech and has an interest in helping Chloe become a hero, by orders of the Vermillion Citadel. |
| 79 | ---- |
| 80 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: She's a Passenger on the Infinity Train, which implies she has baggage on her own, but she's also forced to do [[spoiler:the Vermillion Citadel's]] bidding in order to [[spoiler:save Ash from their clutches. This only ends up adding to her angst when Lady Destiny has The Icarus outright tell her that Ash ''isn't'' being freed and was never going to be, leaving her stuck in a prison cell with nothing on her person.]] |
| 81 | * AdaptationalBadass: She actually ''owns'' a Miraculous, and thus can turn into a AnimalThemedSuperbeing like Professor Fennel and Chloe. |
| 82 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the canon series, Angie initially had a rocky relationship with Ash before eventually growing friendly with him near the end of the school arc. In here, she turns out to have a deeper connection with him as one of his traveling companions. |
| 83 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Forcibly, but she [[spoiler:caused the constant nightmares of the Dream Forest Car]] all in an attempt to make Chloe into a hero. [[spoiler:She then begins doing this to the Horsegirl Race Car as Night Mare, hoping to succeed where her previous attempt failed.]] |
| 84 | * AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Gender inverted. She, a girl, is motivated to [[spoiler:rescue her Ash Ketchum, a boy, from the clutches of the Vermillion Citadel.]] |
| 85 | * AlternateSelf: [[spoiler:She eventually reveals in chapter 16 that she, and her Ash for that matter, are from a different world to the prime Pokemon World that Chloe and Professor Fennel come from.]] |
| 86 | * AllForNothing: The things she did [[spoiler:in the name of the Vermillion Citadel]] were done to make Chloe into a hero and [[spoiler:save her Ash from their clutches.]] But come the end of the arc, not only does she get arrested, but Chloe ''rejects'' the idea of heroism and tells [[spoiler:Lady Destiny]] that she's not playing along with her game, rendering all Angie did worthless. [[spoiler:Chapter 16 only further adds to the pointlessness by revealing that Lady Destiny ''never'' planned to release her Ash, only ''consider'' it, with The Icarus only being able to offer hollow words of praise for her work.]] |
| 87 | * {{Animorphism}}: In desperation, she [[spoiler:dons the Cloak of Marchosias and becomes a turquoise fire-breathing werewolf in order to try and defeat Fast Traveler and make Chloe become a hero.]] |
| 88 | * AntiVillain: She's responsible for [[spoiler:bringing nightmares to both the Dream Forest Car and the Horsegirl Race Car]], but she's doing this to [[spoiler:appease the Vermillion Citadel's desires to turn Chloe into a hero and try to rescue her Ash Ketchum from them.]] |
| 89 | * BadMoodAsAnExcuse: When Chloe and Professor Fennel come meet her [[spoiler:at the prison of the Horsegirl Race Car]] and she confirms [[spoiler:she and her Ash come from another dimension,]] she rebuffs Chloe's attempt to learn more, citing this trope as the reason why. To her absolute shock, Professor Fennel ''understands'' and cuts the conversation there, even chiding Chloe when the redhead tries to convince her to keep going. |
| 90 | * BlackEyesOfEvil: [[spoiler:Her sclera turns pitch black to contrast her golden pupils as Night Mare.]] |
| 91 | * BreathWeapon: [[spoiler:Fire breathing is one of the powers she gains upon equipping the Cloak of Marchosias.]] |
| 92 | * BroughtDownToNormal: By the end of the Horsegirl Race Car, [[spoiler:she's had both the Fear Miraculous, given to her by Lady Destiny herself, and the Cloak of Marchosias, which she only used in desperation and was meant to go to Chloe, taken away from her]], rendering her back to an ordinary girl. |
| 93 | * BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:Her induction into the Vermillion Citadel involved her being taught all about how Chloe Cerise is a goddess-like figure who's meant to save the train and be worshipped by everyone, something that gets consistently challenged by Chloe herself during their first meetings at the Horsegirl Race Car, until it eventually shatters during Chloe's stint as Twilight Sleepover, showing her to be nothing like the inflated image that the citadel had painted her as.]] |
| 94 | * CanonCharacterAllAlong: While initially hidden completely by her cloak when she first appeared, the next time she shows up, she's revealed to be Angie from the ''Advanced Generation'' series. |
| 95 | * ClippedWingAngel: She [[spoiler:dons the Cloak of Marchosias and becomes a turquoise fire-breathing wolf]] in order to defeat Fast Traveler. However, the woman proves to be way too fast for ''any'' of her attacks to hit, and she gets defeated with little issue shortly afterwards. |
| 96 | * ClothesMakeTheSuperman: [[spoiler:She ends up using the Cloak of Marchosias in a desperate attempt to one-up Fast Traveler and turn Chloe into a hero.]] [[ClippedWingAngel It doesn't help her as much as she'd like]]. |
| 97 | * CreateYourOwnHero: An invoked trope, as this is what [[spoiler:the Vermillion Citadel]] want her to do with Chloe. In a more subtle example, her being responsible for [[spoiler:the nightmares of the Dream Forest Car]] means she indirectly created [[spoiler:Baku, who was made to deal with those nightmares.]] |
| 98 | * CurbStompBattle: Finds herself on both ends during the Horsegirl Race Car, though she's very unhappy in both instances: |
| 99 | ** [[spoiler:On the giving end, her fight against Chloe as Twilight Sleepover goes entirely in her favor, with the girl finding herself unable to beat the demon dog she had summoned, and being forced to flee rather than continue fighting. This, however, is the last thing she needed, as she's judged by both The Icarus and The Despair as trying to sabotage Chloe's ascension to hero status.]] |
| 100 | ** [[spoiler:On the receiving end, once Fast Traveler enters the picture, Angie gets completely trounced by her: not only does she take away her Miraculous after undoing her horrific fusion of a Ponyta and a demon, but she's equally powerless when she puts on the Cloak of Marchosias in a desperate attempt to force Chloe to turn into a hero.]] |
| 101 | * DiscardAndDraw: [[spoiler:Fast Traveler takes away the Fear Miraculous from her, turning her back into her base form, and forcing her to don the Cloak of Marchosias and its shapeshifting fire-breathing wolf powers to try and force Chloe to become a hero like the citadel wants.]] |
| 102 | * DidntSeeThatComing: |
| 103 | ** Chloe [[spoiler:not only rejecting but ''stomping'' the Cloak of Marchosias]] in furious rejection of it completely shakes Angie, given that [[spoiler:the Vermillion Citadel had drilled it into her head that Chloe would most likely accept it.]] |
| 104 | ** [[spoiler:When she reveals she's from an alternate Pokemon World and refuses to tell more to Chloe and Professor Fennel, she's completely stunned when the latter not only perfectly accepts this idea, but even scolds ''Chloe'' for wanting to learn more from somebody who's unwilling to speak further.]] |
| 105 | * TheDogWasTheMastermind: The girl Chloe met while looking over the Miraculous at the Horsegirl Race Car? [[spoiler:she's the one responsible for the nightmares on the Dream Forest Car, and is in fact TheHeavy for the Vermillion Citadel, an alliance of alternate Chloes whose mission is to turn our Chloe into a hero.]] |
| 106 | * EyeColorChange: [[spoiler:Turning into Night Mare causes her eyes to change into a golden color.]] |
| 107 | * EvilAllAlong: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. When first introduced, Angie seems to be a fairly normal passenger on the train, but the climax reveals that [[spoiler:she's actually Night Mare, the one responsible for the nightmares in the Dream Forest Car, and is in the Horsegirl Race Car to cause chaos and force Chloe to become a hero.]] And ''then'' it turns out that [[spoiler:she's being pressured into acting evil by the will of the Vermillion Citadel, meaning she's actually TrappedInVillainy.]] |
| 108 | * FlamingHair: [[spoiler:As Night Mare, her white hair flows in a manner resembling a fireball.]] |
| 109 | * ForcedIntoEvil: It's implied that she's not doing the things she does because she wants to, but because The Icarus is giving her no choice. We later learn [[spoiler:that the Vermillion Citadel has her Ash Ketchum in custody, with them only being willing to release him if she helps them turn Chloe into a hero.]] |
| 110 | * FromACertainPointOfView: This is her answer when Chloe asks her if she's from the Pokemon World, just like her. |
| 111 | * GodzillaTreshold: She was warned not to [[spoiler:don the Cloak of Marchosias]] during her tenure at the Horsegirl Race Car, lest she summons the wrath of [[spoiler:the Vermillion Citadel upon her]], but Fast Traveler's meddling forces her hand. |
| 112 | * HazyFeelTurn: By the end of the Horsegirl Race Car, [[spoiler:she has been removed from the citadel as one of its enforcers and has shown interest in keeping an eye on Professor Fennel and Chloe.]] However, it's not made entirely clear if this means she's moved to the side of good, or if she's become more of a neutral party. |
| 113 | * TheHeavy: [[spoiler:Served as this to the Vermillion Citadel from an unknown time until the climax of the Horsegirl Race Car, not only being responsible for the nightmares of the Forest Dream Car, but then becomes the main antagonist of the Horsegirl Race Car as Night Mare in a desperate bid to appease the citadel by turning Chloe into a hero.]] |
| 114 | * HiddenInPlainSight: She's [[spoiler:an enforcer for the Vermillion Citadel who's also responsible for bringing nightmares to the Dream Forest Car]], but she hides by simply making herself seem like an ordinary Passenger. |
| 115 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: At least partially justified; she believes that Chloe is the same as the usual ''Blossomverse'' iteration of the character; angry at the Pokemon World, highly dramatic, very energetic and ready to battle, has an interest in demons, and so on. This is because [[spoiler: the Vermillion Citadel has instilled it into her head that Chloe ''has to be'' the same as every other Chloe in the citadel, who does fit the description.]] As a result, she's completely dumbfounded when her questioning of Chloe leads her to find out she's actually ''quite'' different from them. |
| 116 | * InTheHood: First appears as a completely hidden cloaked figure. |
| 117 | * TheMinionMaster: [[spoiler:One of her powers as Night Mare involves creating literal living nightmares that do her biding in order to sow as much chaos as possible, in an attempt to forcibly turn Chloe into a hero. However, the nightmares exist independently of her; being turned back into Angie from having the Fear Miraculous taken away from her doesn't make them go away, forcing Screech and Chloe to work together to do just that.]] |
| 118 | * MysteriousPast: The most we know about her backstory is that [[spoiler:she encountered the Vermillion Citadel while looking for Ash, and wound up working for them in an attempt to free him, and that she and him are from an alternate dimension from the main Pokemon world.]] Anything before that is a completely enigma. |
| 119 | * MysticalWhiteHair: [[spoiler:Her hair turns into a flowing, flaming white color as Night Mare.]] |
| 120 | * NightmareWeaver: [[spoiler:As Night Mare, which was shown in the Dream Forest Car.]] |
| 121 | * PhyrricVictory: Angie [[spoiler:caused chaos in both the Dream Forest Car and Horsegirl Race Car]] in order to not only [[spoiler:turn Chloe into a hero]] but also [[spoiler:get her Ash freed from the citadel's clutches.]] However, while she does succeed by the end of the saga, Chloe's [[spoiler:act of heroism]] isn't seen by many people beside those approximate for her, and [[spoiler:Lady Destiny can't even be bothered to tell her in person that Ash isn't being released, and was never planning on releasing him.]] |
| 122 | * PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler:Alongside transforming into a turquoise wolf, the Cloak of Marchosias gives her the ability to shoot fireballs. Not that it helps her much against Fast Traveler.]] |
| 123 | * PlotIrrelevantVillain: PlayedWith. On the one hand, she's [[spoiler:the one behind the nightmares of the Dream Forest Car]] and [[spoiler:takes the role of ArcVillain of the car as Night Mare,]] but she has nothing to do with the main challenge of the car, which simply sees Chloe wanting to join a race. |
| 124 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: [[spoiler:As Night Mare, her clothes becoming a black full bodysuit with red highlights, which are conveniently shaped to make her look like she's covered in blood.]] |
| 125 | * StealthHiBye: She suddenly shows up while Chloe is looking at the Miraculous boots of the Horsegirl Race Car. |
| 126 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: [[spoiler:Her pupils turn from their natural color to golden as Night Mare.]] |
| 127 | * SuddenlyShouting: Being told by [[spoiler:The Icarus that her Ash will not be released from the citadel's custody]] causes her to jump up and yell at her, demanding to know what's going and why would [[spoiler:Lady Destiny]] break her promise, only to slowly calm down and sulk as she realizes she's been duped all along. |
| 128 | * ThereIsAnother: She turns out to have a Miraculous too, provided by [[spoiler:Lady Destiny]] at the Vermillion Citadel. |
| 129 | * TrappedInVillainy: She'd like nothing more than to [[spoiler:free her Ash Ketchum and focus on getting her number down]], but [[spoiler:the Vermillion Citadel are dangling his safety on a string to force her to continue being their enforcer.]] |
| 130 | * UnskilledButStrong: Her [[spoiler:Cloak of Marchosias-made werewolf form]] is quite powerful, but unfortunately she simply can't keep up with the speed demon that is Fast Traveler. |
| 131 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Her [[spoiler:bringing nightmares to both the Dream Forest Car and Horsegirl Race Car]] is undoubtedly terrible, but she's being forced to do this so [[spoiler:her Ash Ketchum is saved from the Vermillion Citadel's clutches.]] |
| 132 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:After she gets arrested and placed in the Horsegirl Race Car's prison, The Icarus pays her a visit to basically tell her that despite doing a good job, and the job that the citadel gave her in the first place, her Ash is not going to be freed as part of their agreement, and that her services will no longer be necessary for the citadel.]] |

| 148 | ---- |
| 149 | * ImmediateSelfContradiction: After Webby asks her if she feels like any of the contestants might win, Marie makes it clear that she doesn't have a strong opinion for any of them, wanting to be impartial for her role as an announcer. Then Webby notices Haru Urara in the last spot, and Marie immediately states she knows who's going to lose. |
| 150 | * InterspeciesFriendship: Kind of; they get along just fine since they have no trouble working as announcers together, and one's a duck while the other's a human. |
| 151 | * LargeHamAnnouncer: This is Webby's role, being utterly excited and energetic as she comments on the race itself. |
| 152 | * RedOniBlueOni: Webby is the Red Oni, being a LargeHamAnnouncer with tons of energy, while Marie is the Blue Oni, staying calm even against the most shocking situations. |
| 153 | * SingleTear: Marie sheds one of these as she sees [[spoiler:Chloe throw away the race to allow Haru the chance to cross the finish line alongside her.]] |

| 171 | * GrowingWings: Once Baku returns his kingdom's hopes and dreams to them, Apedemak ends up sprouting wings as he regains his color. |
| 172 | * TheGoodKing: He's the king of the Dream Forest Car, and he's very focused on helping his kingdom with their problems. |
| 173 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: He honestly didn't mean to abuse Baku's generosity in eating his kingdom's nightmares, but when Baku brings it up, he confesses he didn't think it through and apologizes, all the while promising Baku that they can leave after they return his kingdom's hopes and dreams. |
| 174 | * KingOfBeasts: He's the leader of the Dream Forest Car, who just so happens to be a talking lion. |
| 175 | * TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity: Unintentionally did this by depending on Baku's dream-eating abilities to help his kingdom deal with their nightmares one too many times, causing the creature to get angry and eat their hopes and dreams as well. |

| 180 | The leader of the Azada Car, who's a giant living book with a human face. |
| 181 | ---- |
| 182 | * AdaptationalUgliness: In a way. Titus in the ''Blossomverse'' is typically depicted as a flying book who can use his papers to shapeshift into a humanoid form. In here, he's explicitly a giant book with a human face on his cover. |
| 183 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: |
| 184 | ** Titus initially liked Grace when she and Simon (age 10) entered his car to entertain the books...and then he learns to hate them when he learns years later that they ''torn his son to shreds'' and buried him with him telling them to get out of his car lest he kill them. Here, since this is the first time they meet, he has no antagonism and just lets the Apex rest up without worry. |
| 185 | ** Speaking of The Apex, Grace and Simon were the only members from it that Titus ever met. In here, he meets the kids as well and tries to help them have a good night sleep. |
| 186 | ** Titus never interacted with Amelia in the original trilogy. In here, he's practically sweating bullets when she and Hazel appear in Azada. |
| 187 | * AmbiguousSituation: |
| 188 | ** Lexi's nowhere to be seen when The Apex arrive at Azada, and Titus doesn't really mention him either. Does this mean he's no longer a father, or Lexi left a while ago? |
| 189 | ** He sticks to his giant book form through The Apex's visit to Azada. ShapeshifterDefaultForm, or implicitly an example of this Titus being unable to shapeshift? |
| 190 | * AnimateInanimateObject: A giant book... with a human face. |
| 191 | * FriendToAllChildren: He's happy to help The Apex children, letting him sleep on his library and making beds for all of them before going with Grace. |
| 192 | * GentleGiant: He's a colossal book with a human face on his cover, but he's happy to give The Apex a place to sleep at night when they stumble upon his car. |
| 193 | * GoodSamaritan: Despite having no reason to let them into his car, Titus decides to let the remains of The Apex stay at his car for the night. |
| 194 | * NiceGuy: He willingly accepts the Apex into his car to rest. |
| 195 | * OddFriendship: Even without considering their original relationship, a giant book with a human face on the cover being friends with the former leader of a cult isn't the most normal friendship you'd expect to be a thing... and yet, it's a thing. |
| 196 | * UsefulBook: He basically ''is'' one; not only is he willing to let The Apex have a rest at his library, but he buys them time to leave it when Amelia and Hazel arrive looking for them. |

| 199 | [[folder:Atticus]] |
| 200 | !! Atticus |
| 201 | The king of Corginia. |
| 202 | ---- |
| 203 | * AdaptationalLateAppearance: He and his kingdom are typically the first things seen in most ''Blossomverse'' stories, but in this story, he takes a while to even show up. |
| 204 | * AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: He becomes one of Chloe's most trusted allies in the ''Blossomverse'', primarily the main trilogy, but because of Chloe's fear of dogs here, they are relegated to just friends. |
| 205 | * DemotedToExtra: Since Chloe's afraid of dogs and has only ''just'' taken her baby steps in dealing with this fear, Atticus stays behind in Corginia when Professor Fennel's team leaves. |
| 206 | * HeroicDog: A pretty nice canine ruler of Corginia who helps Chloe begins her journey to combat her fear of dogs. |
| 207 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Not only does he understand Chloe's apprehension of him due to her fear of dogs, he allows her to take baby steps in dealing with it with one of the Corginia Cuddle Cadets. |
| 208 | * TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Inverted. In the original ''Blossomverse'' trilogy, he's one of the founding members of the Red Lotus Trio. In here, because of Chloe's fear of dogs, he ends up staying in Corginia rather than joining Professor Fennel's group. |

| 211 | [[folder:Zippy Chippy]] |
| 212 | !! Zippy Chippy |
| 213 | A junior Horsegirl from the Horsegirl Race Car, who is the self-entitled apprentice to Haru Urara. |
| 214 | ---- |
| 215 | * TheApprentice: A self-appointed one to Haru Urara. |
| 216 | * AnArmAndALeg: Not that she actually ''loses'' them, but [[spoiler:her legs go numb as a result of Night Mare's power causing her worst nightmare to come alive. She eventually manages to regain control of them after Night Mare is defeated.]] |
| 217 | * BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Losing control of her legs during the Night Mare attack causes her to be rather concerned and worried when the big race comes next day, which isn't helped by being additionally worried over Haru Urara not having healed properly since the event.]] |
| 218 | * CanonForeigner: She has no counterpart in the ''Uma Musume'' universe. |
| 219 | * FanOfTheUnderdog: She's a pretty big fan of Haru Urara, despite the horsegirl having never won a single race. |
| 220 | * KickChick: She gives Chloe one hell of a kick when she punishes her for feeling up Haru's legs. |
| 221 | * PervertRevengeMode: She sends Chloe flying with a kick after the redhead feels up her senpai's legs for a bit too long. |
| 222 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Haru Urara's Blue Oni. |
| 223 | [[/folder]] |
| 224 | |
| 225 | [[folder:Mary Lamb]] |
| 226 | !! Mary Lamb |
| 227 | The denizen in charge of a car filled with electric sheep. She gives The Apex a very unwelcomed good morning greeting when they wake up in her car. |
| 228 | ---- |
| 229 | * FedToTheBeast: Not she herself, but she threatens the Apex remnants with doing this to them using her own electrified sheep herd, which is so shocking one of the sheeps themselves turns to look at her in shock. |
| 230 | * GetOut: Doesn't say this outright, but her demeanor and threats to The Apex make it clear she wants them out of her car as soon as possible. |
| 231 | * {{Jerkass}}: While part of it is due to wanting The Apex out of her car as soon as possible, she's a generally rude and abrasive girl who threatens the Apex with ''being eaten by her sheep'' if they don't get out. |
| 232 | * NothingNiceAboutSugarAndSpice: She's a GirlyGirl with an aesthetic based on the "mary had a little lamb" nursey rhyme, but this clashes heavily with her aggressive attitude to The Apex. |
| 233 | * ShockAndAwe: The herd she looks after is a set of sheep with electrical currents surging through them. Whether they have any additional electric or lightning powers, however, is unclear. |
| 234 | [[/folder]] |
| 235 | |
| 236 | !! Kwamizens |
| 237 | A specific type of Denizen based on the Kwamis from the Miraculous World, created to help Passengers who don't possess superpowers or any other ability that allows them to survive against the monster of the Infinity Train on their own. |
| 238 | ---- |
| 239 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 240 | * AdaptationalBadass: The Miraculous in the Miraculous World only provide one superpower to their user, with the exception of the Ladybug and ''maybe'' Dragon Miraculous. The Kwamizens' Miraculous provide their user with multiple powers by default. They also lack the HourOfPower of their canon counterparts, instead working on RuleOfThree for adults, and ItOnlyWorksOnce for youngsters. |
| 241 | * AdaptationDeviation: The Kwamis of the ''Miraculous Ladybug'' universe are godlike entities who inhabit their respective Miraculous in order to both interact with the physical world, and allow them to use their powers without threatening reality around them. The Kwamizens, meanwhile, are former Denizens who decided to become Kwami-like creatures in order to better provide help to their passenger companions across the train's endless worlds. |
| 242 | * AdaptationalWimp: When used by adults, oddly enough. Adult Miraculous holders, in the ''Miraculous'' universe, can use their powers indefinitely once they transform, while in here, each power can only be used three times before it can't be used any longer, and using up ''all'' the power slots causes the user to detransform immediately. |
| 243 | * AlwaysLawfulGood: Fittingly considering their origin, most Kwamizens want their powers to be used for good and not evil. Even those who are stuck using their powers for evil like [[spoiler:Screech]] aren't necessarily happy about it. |
| 244 | * FairyCompanion: They serve as this to whichever Passenger they accompany. |
| 245 | * ItOnlyWorksOnce: When used by youngsters, the powers provided by the Kwamizens will only work once before they run out of energy. |
| 246 | * OriginalCharacter: Outside of Grand Master Nooroo, all the Kwamizens seen so far are original characters created for the story. |
| 247 | * RuleOfThree: When used by an adult, all the powers provided by their Miraculous can be used up to three times before they run out. |
| 248 | * WasOnceMan: While it's not clear if all or just most Kwamizens go through the same process, Bakku confirms that at least some of the Kwamizens used to be ordinary Denizens before they decided to transform into their Kwami-like state. |
| 249 | [[/folder]] |
| 250 | |
| 251 | [[folder:Grand Master Nooroo]] |
| 252 | !! Grand Master Nooroo |
| 253 | The Kwamizen counterpart of the real Nooroo, whose job is to test new Kwamizens and give them holders. |
| 254 | ---- |
| 255 | * AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: This version's not bound to an evil master like Gabriel Agreste, and is in fact the leader of his own car. |
| 256 | * AlternateSelf: To the canonical Nooroo. |
| 257 | * AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: An alternate version of Nooroo who's the leader of his Car and allows our heroes to wield the Dream Miraculous. |
| 258 | * AmbiguousSituation: His Akumatization of Chloe is the same as his counterpart while being wielded by Hawk Moth, which is meant to be a ''weaker'' version. Does this mean that this Nooroo is an AdaptationalWimp compared to the canon one, is he being WillfullyWeak? |
| 259 | * ButterflyOfTransformation: He's a version of Nooroo, so this is kind of a given. |
| 260 | * TheChooserOfTheOne: They're the ones who decide who gets to keep a Kwamizen. |
| 261 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Professor Fennel confesses to [[spoiler:using a second Miraculous during the Night Mare attack, expecting to be reprimanded for it, while Grand Master Nooroo does chide her for it, he's ultimately understanding of it and lets her keep the Dream Miraculous.]] |
| 262 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He's the one who's in charge of the Kwaminitiations, which includes testing out the Miraculous and giving them an owner, which would lead to the Dreamwalkers gaining the Dream Miraculous that would then go to help them during the Horsegirl Race Car. |
| 263 | [[/folder]] |

| 265 | [[folder:Screech '''(Spoilers)''']] |
| 266 | !! Screech |
| 267 | The Kwamizen of Intimidation, who serves as the partner of Angie. |
| 268 | ---- |
| 269 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: Their concept is ''intimidation'', and they can turn Angie into a NightmareWeaver when transformed, but they're being forced to be evil just like their master and would like nothing more than to be left alone. |
| 270 | * TheDragon: Not that they have any choice, but they act as Angie's enforcer before and after she turns into Night Mare. |
| 271 | * ForcedIntoEvil: Just like their master, they have no choice but to procure the Vermillion Citadel's desire for Chloe to become a hero. |
| 272 | * HellishHorse: They resemble a spectral equine creature. |
| 273 | * MysteriousPast: Their Miraculous was attained by the Vermillion Citadel at some point in the past, but that's about all we know about them. |
| 274 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: ''Screech''. |
| 275 | * NonHumanSidekick: Serve as one to Angie. |
| 276 | * WalkingSpoiler: Revealing their identity not only spoils Angie being Night Mare and the ArcVillain of the Horsegirl Race Car, but also serves as an introduction to the Vermillion Citadel. |
| 277 | [[/folder]] |

| 285 | [[folder:Zoom]] |
| 286 | !! Zoom |
| 287 | The Kwamizen of the Race Miraculous placed in the Horsegirl Race Car. |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * AlwaysSaveTheGirl: [[spoiler:As soon as they're told that a girl (Chloe) is in danger during the Night Mare attack at the Horsegirl Race Car, they immediately decide to help and make Professor Fennel turn into Fast Traveler to do so.]] |
| 290 | * ChekhovsGunman: Their Miraculous is briefly seen by Professor Fennel's team while Haru Urara and Zippy Chippy are taking them to the stables, and then they end up playing a part when [[spoiler:Night Mare starts her attack on the car.]] |
| 291 | * TimeMaster: Their Miraculous is based on the concept of Motion, which includes partial time manipulation with things like "Slow Motion" and "Stop Motion". [[spoiler:This is demonstrated by Professor Fennel/Fast Traveler while the nightmare attacks go on, with her using the latter to stop monsters in place or the former to slow down a girl's descent.]] |

| 294 | !!!Vermillion Citadel |
| 295 | A mysterious group who have a mission to turn Chloe Cerise into a hero. |
| 296 | |
| 297 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 298 | * AdaptationalBadass: From the members we've seen, each member is [[spoiler:an alternate version of Chloe Cerise]] who possess supernatural powers or other things that give them an edge in general, compared to Chloe, who is just a normal girl without even a Pokemon by her side. |
| 299 | * AdaptationalVillainy: They're all versions of [[spoiler:Chloe Cerise]] who are much more malicious in nature, being willing to [[spoiler:drown the Dream Forest Car in nightmares]] if it means forcing Chloe herself to become a hero. |
| 300 | * AdorableEvilMinions: Most of the citadel consists of [[spoiler:versions of Chloe Cerise]] and, minor a few exceptions, they're about as cute as their prime counterpart. |
| 301 | * AllianceOfAlternates: The Vermillion Citadel is composed of [[spoiler:alternate versions of Chloe Cerise]] from all across the multiverse. |
| 302 | * AlternateSelf: If the members we've seen so far are any indication, the Vermillion Citadel is composed of [[spoiler:alternate versions of Chloe Cerise.]] |
| 303 | * CompositeCharacter: Their seemingly large number and [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman willingness to hurt denizens]] to get what they want is similar to The Apex, but their focus on Chloe and [[spoiler:the presence of Lady Destiny]] bring to mind the Cage of Flauros. |
| 304 | * BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: If their backstories are the same as in the Blossomverse, then they were originally [[spoiler:Chloe Cerises who entered the Train and took on the quest to stop The Apex and bring peace to the train]], and were quick to protect the Denizens of the Infinity Train, but now, they're perfectly willing to endanger said Denizens ''en masse'' if it means helping Chloe become a hero. |
| 305 | * CreateYourOwnHero: They desire to do this with this story's Chloe for some reason. |
| 306 | * EvilDoppelganger: An entire alliance of these, each being doppelgangers of [[spoiler:Chloe Cerise.]] |
| 307 | * EvilRedhead: They're all [[spoiler:alternate versions of Chloe]], so they all have the same red hair and green eyes as them. |
| 308 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Being the ones employing Angie, this means they're responsible for [[spoiler:the Dream Forest Car nightmares.]] |
| 309 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: They want to turn Chloe Cerise into a hero, but everything ''else'' about their plan is a complete mystery. |
| 310 | * IHaveYourWife: They've apparently [[spoiler:captured a version of Ash Ketchum]], which is the reason why Angie's being forced to work on them in the first place. |
| 311 | * MissingStepsPlan: They desire to turn this story's Chloe into a hero for some reason, and to do that [[spoiler:they deployed Angie to bring nightmares to both the Dream Forest Car and the Horsegirl Race Car.]] However, at least in the case of the former, they completely omitted the part where they ''bring this to Chloe's attention'', meaning while she ''does'' end up helping the Dream Forest Car, she's not alone in it. |
| 312 | * MotiveDecay: Assuming their backstories are the same as usual lore, they started [[spoiler:on a quest to work on themselves and stop The Apex just like all Chloes]], but are now focused on turning Chloe Cerise into a hero, regardless of what methods they use or how many innocents they hurt in order to achieve it. |
| 313 | * MysteriousPast: Where most of the members come from and how they assembled the citadel in the first place is completely unknown. |
| 314 | * {{Narcissist}}: Being one of these is practically a requirement for membership. Every representative of the Citadel to appear in story thus far believes that the virtues and "hero potential" of Chloekind are ''so'' self-evident that something must be ''wrong'' with anyone who fails to acknowledge them. Lady Destiny was [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduced]] tossing a [[KickTheDog badly wounded]] Galarian Ponyta at Angie and ''blaming it'' for not [[OnlyThePureOfHeart seeing the purity of the Citadel's hearts]]. Later, she's shown addressing the concerns of her subordinates in keeping [[TheAce Ash Ketchum]] in custody by saying he could be "fixed..." By which she meant they could [[ToThePain systematically destroy]] his dreams, his friendships, his personality, and everything he values so that he will [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence no longer be a threat to Chloe Cerise]]. |
| 315 | * TheUnfettered: Practically give an entire animal kingdom insomnia? [[spoiler:Kidnap a version of Ash Ketchum]] to force [[spoiler:Angie]] to work for them? Have said enforcer [[spoiler:cause utter chaos in the Horsegirl Race Car by summoning literal living nightmares]]? All an acceptable prize to pay, as long as the one called Chloe Cerise gets to become a hero. |
| 316 | * VillainTakesAnInterest: They somehow found out that Chloe Cerise is on the Train and have thus began taking steps in order to have her become a hero of some sort. |
| 317 | * WalkingSpoiler: It's impossible to talk about them without revealing who ''they're'' the ones employing Angie and desire to turn this story's Chloe into a hero. |
| 318 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Both their supposed missions to turn Chloe into a hero put several Denizens in danger, but they see it as justified in order to help her get recognition. |

| 320 | |
| 321 | [[folder:Lady Destiny ('''Spoilers''')]] |
| 322 | !! Chloe Cerise / Lady Destiny |
| 323 | The apparent leader of the Vermillion Citadel, and the one who gifted Angie the Fear Miraculous. |
| 324 | ---- |
| 325 | * AdaptationExplanationExtrication: "Lady Destiny" in canon was Chloe's designation for her role in the Cage of Flauros. Since the Fog Car doesn't appear to be present in this universe, where Lady Destiny came from is unclear. |
| 326 | * AdaptationalJerkass: We never got any hint as to what Lady Destiny was supposed to act like in the original trilogy, due to Chloe never becoming her. This Lady Destiny, going by her interaction with Angie, is a massive jerk who constantly talks down to her, and never fails to mention how she sees her as just a tool to be discarded once her job is done. |
| 327 | * AdaptationalJobChange: The closest thing to a "job" that Lady Destiny had in the original trilogy was to serve as the final component of the Cage of Flauros. In here, she's instead the leader of a citadel populated by alternate versions of Chloe. |
| 328 | * AdaptationalVillainy: PlayedWith. On the one hand, Lady Destiny in the original trilogy was the final component needed to complete the Cage of Flauros, which would wipe out The Apex, but she wasn't exactly willing or capable of thinking of herself, if she were to ever form. In here, however, not only is she perfectly ''aware'' of what she's doing, but she's perfectly complicit and more than ready to continue doing it in hopes of turning Chloe into a hero. |
| 329 | * BadBoss: What we see in her conversation with Night Mare during the Horsegirl Race Car chaos makes it clear that not only does Lady Destiny see her as nothing but a tool, but that she never wastes a chance to remind her and spite her for it. She even goes as far as to compare her to the Galarian Ponyta she dumps to her side, claiming they're both equally expendable to her. |
| 330 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: It's implicitly said by her that the Ponyta she hands Angie/Night Mare wasn't exactly treated the best, partially because it didn't accept any of the Chloes in the citadel as pure of heart, which she took as an affront. |
| 331 | * AChildShallLeadThem: She's only ten years old, being a Chloe and everything, but she serves as the leader of the Vermillion Citadel and all the Chloes that reside in it. |
| 332 | * CompositeCharacter: "Lady Destiny" was Chloe's designation for the Cage of Flauros, while the whole focus on Chloe herself was more in line with Death/Henry and Walter. |
| 333 | * TheChooserOfTheOne: She was the original owner of the Fear Miraculous, which she gifted to Angie in order to help her make Chloe into a hero. |
| 334 | * DecompositeCharacter: Again, "Lady Destiny" was the moniker for Chloe's role in the Cage of Flauros. Here, she's an entirely separate character. |
| 335 | * DisproportionateRetribution: In her mind, anybody who does anything to hurt Chloekind deserves to be severely punished, no matter how minor their supposed crimes are. This is shown when she has an Ash Ketchum imprisoned and separated from his Pikachu just for taking attention away from Chloe, and then have a Galarian Ponyta ''beaten up'' just because it refused to not see the impurity in the hearts of the citadel Chloes. |
| 336 | * {{Foil}}: To Grand Master Nooroo. Both of them are enigmatic figures who serve as the leaders of their respective groups, the Kwamizens and the Vermillion Citadel, and who hand over a Miraculous to certain people. However, Grand Master Nooroo is a Kwamizen, a type of Denizen, while Lady Destiny has no confirmed designation. And while Grand Master Nooroo handed the Dream Miraculous to Professor Fennel's team so they would use it for good, Lady Destiny handed the Fear Miraculous to Angie with the goal to help Chloe turn into a hero, with it implicitly placing her on the side of evil due to the lengths they go to achieve this. |
| 337 | * IgnoredEpiphany: The Galarian Ponyta is said to only be approachable by someone who's pure of heart. Lady Destiny had one in the citadel, but none of the Chloes there managed to approach them, meaning they weren't pure of heart. Lady Destiny either didn't understand what this meant or she did but rejected it, as the next thing she did was have the Pony "punished" for not seeing the purity of Chloekind. |
| 338 | * ImprobableAge: At only ten years old, this Chloe's the leader of a citadel that serves as the HQ of several alternate Chloe Cerises. |
| 339 | * InformedKindness: Played With. The narration during the chapter "Alliances" claims she is a being of infinite kindness -- and endless cruelty. How far we were shown, she is willing to abuse a ponyta for not recognizing the "purity" of a Chloe Cerise, forced an innocent girl to do her dirty job and not even honoring her deal, and just being a delusional {{Jerkass}} in general. On the other hand, this can be a potshot towards the InformedKindness of [=Blossomverse!Chloe=]. |
| 340 | * {{Irony}}: In the original story, Chloe decided to say ScrewDestiny upon learning about her role in the Cage of Flauros. ''This'' Lady Destiny, meanwhile, seems intent on ''enforcing'' Chloe's supposed destiny as the hero of the Infinity Train. |
| 341 | * ILied: Lady Destiny coerced Angie into going along with her plans by promising to [[IHaveYourWife release “her” Ash Ketchum]] from the Citadel’s prison. When all is said and done, Angie is informed that she was never going to do so; she [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence considers Ash]] such a fundamental threat to “Chloe of the Vermilion” that nothing could convince her to “take the risk.” |
| 342 | * LackOfEmpathy: She doesn't show sympathy or empathy for Angie/Night Mare's situation ''once'' when she gets called, repeatedly mocking and scolding her for failing to fulfill her designated role. |
| 343 | * TheManBehindTheMan: She's the leader of not only The Icarus, the one who sent Angie to the Dream Forest and Horsegirl Race cars, but is also the leader of all the other Chloe Cerises in the Vermillion Citadel, making her this to any citadel-based antagonist. |
| 344 | * MythologyGag: She's based on Chloe's potential evil form from the original trilogy. |
| 345 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: ''Lady Destiny''. |
| 346 | * OddNameOut: Of the members we've seen, she's the only Chloe in the Vermilion Citadel whose nickname isn't "The X" or a variation thereof. |
| 347 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: Unlike more or less everybody else in the citadel, Lady Destiny's eyes are noted to be golden. |
| 348 | * WrongGenreSavvy: Like her comrades, she thinks that the Chloe from this story has the same traits from Blossomverse Chloe (Love for demons, boarding in Corginia first, and a desire to be a hero). Too bad that this Chloe is more TruerToTheText, is Cynophobic and despise demons and horror stuff. |
| 349 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Actually Played With. Yes, Lady Destiny is an extremely BadBoss who spent Angie’s entire “employment” talking down to her. Yes, Angie’s plans were completely thrown off by the new “chosen” Chloe being TruerToTheText. But when The Icarus passes on Lady Destiny’s verdict after the fact, it turns out that she’d decided that Angie had accomplished “the bare minimum,” and gave her credit accordingly. The problem is, the Citadel was ‘’[[ILied never]]’’ going to release Ash regardless of how Angie performed, given his [[FelonyMisdemeanour “crimes”]] against Chloekind. In addition, [[EntitledBitch Lady Destiny]] sees herself as so far above everyone who ‘’isn’t’’ part of the Citadel that she doesn’t bother to offer Angie a different reward, or even help her escape prison. |

| 354 | A being mentioned by Screech when their master starts to doubt their mission. She has vested interest in helping Chloe Cerise become a hero. Eventually, she appears during the fight between [[spoiler:Twilight Sleepover and Night Mare]] to look down on them. |
| 355 | ---- |
| 356 | * BearerOfBadNews: She's the one who tells Angie that [[spoiler:Lady Destiny will not be releasing Ash Ketchum from custody in the Vermillion Citadel, despite having promised to do so if Angie helped them with their goal of turning Chloe into a hero.]] |
| 357 | * ChekhovsGunman: She's mentioned by Screech when they and their master first show concerns regarding their mission, then appears for the climax of the Horsegirl Race Car. |
| 358 | * ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. While she ''has'' fallen for the lies of Lady Destiny like her fellow Chloes, she's at least perceptive enough to see ''our'' Chloe hasn't engaged in combat before, and thus [[spoiler:gets into trouble trying to fight back during the nightmare attacks in the Horsegirl Race Car.]] |
| 359 | * GoodWingsEvilWings: PlayedWith. She has Pidgeotto wings, which are avian by default and thus good, but she's part of the villainous Vermillion Citadel. |
| 360 | * GreaterScopeVillain: She's the one who sent the cloaked figure into the Horsegirl Race Car, so that they can turn Chloe into a hero. |
| 361 | * IcarusAllusion: She's named after the myth, and just like how Icarus himself had a pair of wings attached to his back, the Icarus has pidgeotto wings on her back, which allow her to fly. |
| 362 | * MythologyGag: Her entire existence is a big nod to ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainSeekerOfCrocus'''s Chloe Cerise, who also had a similar motif. |
| 363 | * WingedHumanoid: She has a pair of Pidgeotto wings on her back, which is what mainly separates her from [[spoiler:the other Chloe Cerises from the citadel.]] |

| 371 | * CompositeCharacter: She's Chloe Cerise, but her designation as "The Despair" was a title that was given to Paul, a piece of the original Cage of Flauros. |
| 372 | * LeaveNoWitnesses: She implies this is the reason why she's at the Horsegirl Race Car, to silence [[spoiler:Night Mare]] in case she loses the fight against [[spoiler:Twilight Sleepover.]] |

| 374 | * WhatWereYouThinking: She's ''not'' happy to learn that not only did Chloe [[spoiler:reject the Cloak of Marchosias]] that Angie offered her, but that the girl didn't even try to report it back to the citadel despite how significant such a reaction would be to Lady Destiny. |

| 377 | [[folder:The Narrator]] |
| 378 | !! Chloe Cerise / The Narrator |
| 379 | A Chloe with glasses from another dimension, who's a member of the Vermillion Citadel. She's sent by Lady Destiny to intercept Chloe and co. while they're at the Campfire Car. |
| 380 | ---- |
| 381 | * BullyingADragon: She tries chide Hazel when she questions why Lady Destiny isn't dealing with Chloe and her group herself. Hazel responds by aiming her buster at her face, and it's only by Amelia's order that she doesn't have her face blown off. |
| 382 | * CowerPower: She hides behind Amelia as soon as Hazel aims her buster at her. |

| 386 | [[folder:Lady Sindooram]] |
| 387 | !! Lady Sindooram |
| 388 | The akumatized form of Chloe Cerise, taken at the Kwaminitiation Car in order to help Professor Fennel test the power of the Dream Miraculous. |
| 389 | ---- |
| 390 | * AllGirlsLikePonies: This trait from Chloe carries over to Lady Sindooram, who ends up creating an artificial Rapidash for herself when struck by Dramland Shepherd's Dreamcatcher. |
| 391 | * AttackAnimal: Has one in the form of Zhuque, an avian powder construct of hers. |
| 392 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: She's a girl decked in red whose primary weapon appears to be powder. She's also strong enough to fight equally against an ''adult Miraculous wielder''. |
| 393 | * ElementalBaggage: Unlike Dreamland Shepherd, there's no explanation as to where the powder she uses to attack with comes from. |
| 394 | * {{Familiar}}: Creates one with her powder, taking the form of an avian creature called "Zhuque". |
| 395 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Her main method of attack seems to be with red powder. |
| 396 | * NonMaliciousMonster: Most Akumatizations tend to be insane or incredibly malicious, but this form's only goal is to help Professor Fennel train with the Dream Miraculous. |
| 397 | * RedIsHeroic: Chloe becomes completely clad in red as Lady Sindooram, and her only goal is to help Professor Fennel train as Dreamland Shepherd. |

| 400 | [[folder:Hazel]] |
| 401 | !! Hazel / Experiment 12-15-22-5-3-8-9-12-4 |
| 402 | Amelia's assistant, a clone of her lost love Alrich. |
| 403 | ---- |
| 404 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In canon, she effectively exited the story after deciding to join up with Amelia, and we never end up seeing how the woman treats her. In this story, we ''do'' see it, and their relationship is quite strained. |
| 405 | * AdaptationalBadass: Hazel had no powers in canon aside from InvoluntaryShapeshifting. In here, she can morph her arm into an ArmCannon. To a lesser extent, she also appears to have a greater control over said shapeshifting, as even when under stress while talking with Titus, she never once transforms. |
| 406 | * AdaptationNameChange: PlayedWith. Hazel was all she was known as in canon. And while that's technically the same here, we also learn that her serial number, theoretically the closest thing to a true name she has, is Experiment 12-15-22-5-3-8-9-12-4. |
| 407 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: This Hazel is much more sardonic and snarky than her canonical counterpart, which makes sense since she's not only Hazel ''after'' the events of Book 3, but is under the watch of [[AbusiveParents Amelia]]. |
| 408 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: |
| 409 | ** Amelia and Hazel's relationship wasn't properly shown outside of Book 3 due to Infinity Train's cancellation. In here, it's shown that their relationship is pretty strained, partially because of everything Hazel has gone through, and partially because Amelia refuses to see her as anything more than a coworker. |
| 410 | ** Hazel never met anybody from the Apex besides Grace and Simon in canon. In here, she meets the remnants and proves ambivalent towards them. |
| 411 | ** Hazel was absolutely ''done'' with Grace by the time she left Book 3, as the woman's tendency to lie and some pretty harsh words convinced her that leaving with Amelia was better for her in the long run. In here, while there's still some animosity between them, Hazel's much more willing to humor her and even inform her of certain things [[spoiler:like the Apex Predator]] in order to ensure Grace doesn't have to suffer Amelia's wrath. |
| 412 | * AdaptationSuperpowerChange: The only real "power" that Hazel showed in canon was InvoluntaryShapeshifting. In here, not only does she retain the shapeshifting, but also can summon an arm cannon like megaman. |
| 413 | * AllForNothing: The reason she joined with Amelia in the first place was because she thought it would be better for her to stick with an adult who didn't want her dead. While Amelia ''does'' treat Hazel better than [[spoiler:Simon and Grace]] did, it's not by a large margin, and this is done through turning her into her actual assistant rather than a daughter figure. |
| 414 | * ArmCannon: She has one of these, which she uses to shoot the bookworms in the Azada Car. |
| 415 | * ArtificialHuman: An artificial clone of Alrich created by Amelia back when she was the Conductor. |
| 416 | * BeleagueredAssistant: She accompanies Amelia to Azada in order to look for The Apex, but Amelia doesn't treat her with much respect. |
| 417 | * BrokenBird: This is a post-Book 3 Hazel, so her optimism is pretty much down the drain, replaced by cynicism and snark that helps her cope with Amelia's treatment of her. |
| 418 | * BullyingADragon: In a fit of anger, she tells Amelia, the Conductor of the Infinity Train for the past thirty years and holder of multiple gadgets that lets her traverse it with ease, how her entire quest to stop The Apex is a waste of time and [[spoiler:joining forces with Lady Destiny]] is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of audacity. [[spoiler:Hazel ends up electrocuted for her troubles]]. |
| 419 | * CallingTheOldManOut: Amelia's the closest thing to an actual mother she has, but Hazel's perfectly willing to tear her a new one over [[spoiler:willingly joining forces with Lady Destiny]] in a vain attempt to get rid of the Apex once and for all. |
| 420 | * CloneAngst: She already had insecurities regarding being a clone of Alrich in canon, but in here, Amelia's condescending treatment of her and refusal to see her as her own person only serves to bother her even more. |
| 421 | * DeadpanSnarker: She can be quite snarky when she wants to be. |
| 422 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Despite being Amelia's current helper, the woman herself doesn't treat her all that well, constantly ignoring her words and insisting on calling her by her serial number, rather than her name. |
| 423 | * EveryoneHasStandards: While she might be civil towards her, Hazel has no love for Grace given their turbulent history together. That being said, even she doesn't approve of Amelia's hunt for the Apex nor [[spoiler:her being willing to join forces with Lady Destiny just to try and achieve this goal.]] |
| 424 | * FuryFueledFoolishness: [[spoiler:Amelia joining forces with Lady Destiny in hopes of getting rid of The Apex]] flips off her lid so much that she gives Amelia a ''scathing'' dressing down [[spoiler:that ends with Hazel being electrocuted.]] |
| 425 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: Discussed by her as the reason why she can't tell them [[spoiler:about the Apex Predator]] more than what she's already told them; doing so could end up arousing Amelia's suspicions if she told them too much. |
| 426 | * HypercompetentSidekick: Not that Amelia's incompetent or anything, but Hazel's much more on the ball than her boss. In fact, she actually ''finds'' some of The Apex remnants in their search for them in Azada [[spoiler:only to willingly leave them alone when called by Amelia, never even mentioning her discovery to the woman through the rest of their visit.]] |
| 427 | * IComeInPeace: When she [[spoiler:shows up when Grace and Lucy are talking at one of the cars]] and the two grow understandably weary of her, Hazel is quick to reassure them that she came alone, pointing out that if she ''had'' come with Amelia, [[spoiler:the two would've woken up in a dark cold cell instead of the car they're on.]] |
| 428 | * ItIsDehumanizing: Amelia consistently calls her "it" during their visit to Azada. |
| 429 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: Her status as a clone of Alrich was a big shock on ''Infinity Train'' lore, but is revealed with much less fanfare here. The fact she's now coming along with Amelia is similarly revealed casually. |
| 430 | * OverlyLongName: Overly Long ''Designation'' to be exact. According to Amelia, her designation is "Experiment 12-15-22-5-3-8-9-12-4". |
| 431 | * OppositeSexClone: She's a girl, but she's actually a clone of Amelia's long dead fiance, a man. |
| 432 | * SecretKeeper: She's currently keeping Grace's team's whereabouts a secret from Amelia, as she doesn't want them to get hurt by whatever she's planning. |
| 433 | * TearsOfFear: [[spoiler:She sheds these right after Amelia electrocutes her for yelling at her, and then threatens to do it again if she steps out of line again.]] |
| 434 | * VaguenessIsComing: The reason why she [[spoiler:shows up during Lucy and Grace's moment]] is to tell them about Amelia's plan to use [[spoiler:The Apex Predator]] to hunt them down, telling them just enough without arousing suspicion from Amelia herself. |
| 435 | * WellDoneSonGuy: It's subtle, but at least a little bit of Hazel's resentment and tense relationship with Amelia comes from being treated like an indentured servant by Amelia, with little recognition from the woman herself despite being the closest thing she has to a daughter. |
| 436 | * YouAreNumberSix: According to Amelia, her actual serial number is Experiment 12-15-22-5-3-8-9-12-4, which translates into "Love child" when turned into letters. |
| 437 | * YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: She's not at all impressed when Amelia is easily fooled by Grace's "magic trick". |
| 438 | [[/folder]] |
| 439 | |
| 440 | [[folder:One-One]] |
| 441 | The true conductor of the Infinity Train, who was usurped by Amelia before the events of the story, only to be placed once more due to the actions of one passenger. He appears in the "Apex Martyrdom" one shot. |
| 442 | ---- |
| 443 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: Most Blossomverse stories feature One-One possessing the same intelligence as in canon, if not be turned slightly dumber. ''This'' One-One not only can see The Apex for what they truly are-scavengers who are the way they were because they didn't know any better-rather than demonize them like the rest of the train, but he even makes a convincing argument as to why getting rid of them right now like Amelia wants might be more troublesome in the long-term. |
| 444 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: One-One was the one who originally set off Chloe on her quest to stop The Apex, and eventually formed a close bond with her. In here, it's all but stated that the two have never met, as when Professor Fennel meets Chloe, she's in an entirely different Car from when she started. |
| 445 | * DemotedToExtra: In the ''Blossomverse'' trilogy, he's the one who sets off Chloe on her quest to stop The Apex and eventually [[spoiler:the Cage of Flauros.]] Because Chloe ultimately doesn't go down this same path, One-One's role is much more minor. |
| 446 | * DontCreateAMartyr: What his argument basically boils down to; since The Apex can easily be seen to represent the people who were lost as to what they were supposed to do on the Train for years, killing them, especially by the hands of a denizen, would only give these passengers ''more'' reason to believe the train is out to get them rather than help them, which worst case scenario could bring about ''another'' Apex rising in their steed. |
| 447 | * ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: He not only sees how The Apex would be perceived by most passengers, but that getting rid of them risks creating a ''new'' Apex in order to fill the vacuum they'd leave behind. |
| 448 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: His status as the true conductor of the Infinity Train is revealed as soon as Amelia appears in Azada. |
| 449 | * TheNeedsOfTheMany: A more pragmatic take on the trope. One-One considers the many passengers who are ''both'' ordinary humans ''and'' have no idea how the train's supposed to work and uses them as a basis as to why the Apex can't be get rid of them; it would just convince them that the train is out to get them and potentially create ''another'' Apex for safety. |
| 450 | * SmarterThanYouLook: You'd be forgiven for thinking this One-One is as oblivious as his canon self, but not only does he see The Apex for what they represent but can also make a convincing argument as to why getting rid of them without a plan would be problematic. |
| 451 | [[/folder]] |

| 453 | [[folder:The Experiment ('''Spoilers''')]] |
| 454 | !! "Apex Predator" |
| 455 | An experiment created by Amelia to destroy The Apex once and for all. |
| 456 | ---- |
| 457 | * AmbiguousInnocence: Amelia created this entity with the sole purpose of hunting down the remaining Apex members, but as Hazel points out, the "Apex Predator" has just enough sentience to obey Amelia and nothing else, which doesn't imply much, if any, moral autonomy. |
| 458 | * ArtificialHuman: An artificial entity created to hunt down The Apex. |
| 459 | * TheGhost: It hasn't appeared yet, but its pod is visited by Amelia during the end of ''Apex Martyrdom''. |
| 460 | * LivingWeapon: Hazel outright calls them as such, declaring them a weapon with hardly enough sentience to obey Amelia and nothing else. |
| 461 | * MeaningfulName: It's an entity created to hunt down The Apex, hence it's named Apex Predator. |
| 462 | * SuperPersistentPredator: If Hazel's words are to be believed, The Apex Predator was created with the intention to hunt down The Apex until they were completely wiped out, no matter the cost. |
| 463 | * WalkingSpoiler: Talking about this creature requires revealing the extreme lengths that Amelia's willing to go just to get rid of the Apex once and for all. |
