| 13 | All heroic characters chosen to wield a Miraculous. |
| 14 | ---- |
| 15 | * AnimalThemedSuperbeing: The Animal Alias type. Their hero names and transformed outfits are each based on a specific animal, while their abilities usually have more to do with the symbolic meaning of the animal rather than the animal's actual abilities (i.e Ladybug's ability, Lucky Charm, is connected to ladybugs being symbols of good luck). |
| 16 | * ByThePowerOfGrayskull: Each of them has a special transformation phrase they use to turn into a superhero. While the original French version gives them a generic "[Kwami], transform me!", the English dub gives them unique lines. |
| 17 | ** For Ladybug, Mister Bug and Scarabella -- "Tikki, spots on!" |
| 18 | ** For Cat Noir, Lady Noir, Cat Walker and Kitty Noir -- "Plagg, claws out!" |
| 19 | ** For Rena Rouge -- "Trixx, let's pounce!" |
| 20 | ** For Carapace -- "Wayzz, shell on!" |
| 21 | ** For Queen Bee and Vesperia -- "Pollen, buzz on!" |
| 22 | ** For Viperion and Aspik -- "Sass, scales slither!" |
| 23 | ** For Pegasus -- "Kaalki, full gallop!" |
| 24 | ** For Ryuko -- "Longg, bring the storm!" |
| 25 | ** For Bunnyx -- "Fluff, clockwise!" |
| 26 | ** For King Monkey -- "Xuppu, showtime!" |
| 27 | ** For Polymouse and Multimouse -- "Mullo, get squeaky!" |
| 28 | ** For Pigella -- "Daizzi, rejoice!" |
| 29 | ** For Purple Tigress -- "Roaar, stripes on!" |
| 30 | ** For Miss Hound, Flairmidable and Canigirl -- "Barkk, on the hunt!" |
| 31 | ** For Caprikid -- "Ziggy, bleat it!" |
| 32 | ** For Minotaurox -- "Stompp, make way!" |
| 33 | ** For Rooster Bold -- "Orikko, sunrise!" |
| 34 | ** For Argos -- "Duusu, spread my feathers!" |
| 35 | * CallingYourAttacks: Actually necessary- if the Miraculous user is unable to speak their power's name for whatever reason, it's unusable, as seen in ''Silencer'' and ''Truth''. |
| 36 | ** For Ladybug et al -- "Lucky Charm!" |
| 37 | ** For Cat Noir et al -- "Cataclysm!" |
| 38 | ** For Rena Rouge -- "Mirage!" |
| 39 | ** For Carapace -- "Shellter!" |
| 40 | ** For Queen Bee and Vesperia -- "Venom!" |
| 41 | ** For Viperion and Aspik -- "Second Chance!" |
| 42 | ** For Pegasus -- "Voyage!" |
| 43 | ** For Ryuko (who has three): |
| 44 | *** "Wind Dragon!" |
| 45 | *** "Water Dragon!" |
| 46 | *** "Lightning Dragon!" |
| 47 | ** For Bunnyx -- "Burrow!" |
| 48 | ** For King Monkey -- "Uproar!" |
| 49 | ** For Polymouse and Multimouse -- "Multitude!" |
| 50 | ** For Pigella -- "Gift!" |
| 51 | ** For Purple Tigress -- "Clout!" |
| 52 | ** For Miss Hound et al -- "Fetch!" |
| 53 | ** For Caprikid -- "Genesis!" |
| 54 | ** For Minotaurox -- "Resistance!" |
| 55 | ** For Rooster Bold -- "Sublimation!" |
| 56 | * DeadAlternateCounterpart: In "Cat Blanc", their BadFuture version (including Hawk Moth) become victims of Cat Blanc's Mega Cataclysm. Thanks to Bunnyx's help, Ladybug was able to fix the timeline, which prevents those events, including Cat Noir's akumatization, from ever happening. |
| 57 | * FantasticRecruitmentDrive: The Order of Guardians ''used'' to do this...before they got eaten. |
| 58 | * {{Glamour}}: "Miraculous New York" confirms that the Miraculous holders are covered by a "quantum masking" field that prevents people from recognizing them in costume. However, it's not invincible; Alya already recognized Nino's distinctive turns of phrase in "Anansi" and suspected him of being Carapace, and it has no effect on highly advanced A.I.s like Uncanny Valley. |
| 59 | * InstantExpert: Part of the magic of the Miraculous is that wielders instinctively understand the heightened grace it gives them. New heroine Rena Rouge is surprised when Ladybug jumps onto a rooftop and calls Rena to follow her - and even more surprised when she finds she ''can''. (However, it takes a while before any wielder gets used to their weapon.) |
| 60 | * LogicalWeakness: |
| 61 | ** Each of the heroes have to use a verbal command to utilize their superpowers. Naturally, if their voice were somehow removed or impaired, they wouldn't be able to summon their powers. Furthermore, if they didn't have their voices pre-transformation, they wouldn't be able to transform at all. |
| 62 | ** If the Miraculous is physically removed, the transformation ends immediately. |
| 63 | * MeaningfulName: Each of the heroes choose a name that relates to the animal of their Miraculous. Some more on the nose than others. |
| 64 | ** Ladybug - Ladybug shares her name with ladybugs, a species of red spotted beetles. |
| 65 | ** Lady Noir - A play on Cat Noir's name when Marinette wields the Cat Miraculous. |
| 66 | ** Cat Noir - Cat Noir's name in the French dub (Chat Noir) means "black cat" in French. |
| 67 | ** Mister Bug - A play on Ladybug's name when Adrien wields the Ladybug Miraculous. |
| 68 | ** Rena Rouge - Means "red fox" in French. |
| 69 | ** Rena Furtive - "Invisible Fox" in French, referencing Alya's shift to covert operations. |
| 70 | ** Carapace - A carapace is the upper hard shell of a turtle or tortoise. |
| 71 | ** Queen Bee - The queen bee is the leader of a beehive. |
| 72 | ** Bunnyx - A cross between "bunny" and her civilian name. |
| 73 | ** Viperion - A cross of the words "viper" and "hyperion". |
| 74 | ** Pegasus - The famous flying horse in [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek mythology]]. |
| 75 | ** King Monkey - Straightforward enough, and also a reference to [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest the Monkey King]]. |
| 76 | ** Ryuko - Japanese for "dragon child". |
| 77 | ** Multimouse - "Mouse", obviously, and "multi" refers to the Miraculous' SelfDuplication powers and the fact that [[spoiler:Marinette and her clones use multiple Miraculous.]] |
| 78 | ** Polymouse - As above, "Poly" meaning multiple and "mouse" for her animal. |
| 79 | ** Pigella - "Pig" is pretty on the nose, but "ella" is also a name meaning "light" or "elegant". |
| 80 | ** Vesperia - Vesperia comes from the words "vespa", which means "wasp" in Italian. |
| 81 | ** Purple Tigress - "Purple" due to her violet color scheme and "Tigress" as a female tiger. |
| 82 | ** Miss Hound - "Hound" is a name used for tracking dogs. |
| 83 | ** Rooster Bold - "Rooster" for obvious reasons and "Bold" referencing his newfound confidence as a superhero. It's also a pun on ComicBook/BoosterGold. |
| 84 | ** Caprikid - A cross between Capricorn, the symbol of the goat in the Western zodiac, and "kid", based on his youth and/or the fact that young goats are called kids. |
| 85 | ** Minotaurox - A cross between "minotaur", the half-man/half-bull monster of [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek myth]], and "ox", natch. |
| 86 | ** Argos - Comes from Argos Panoptes, the hundred-eyed servant of Hera in [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek mythology]] who guarded the woman-turned-cow Io and was slain by Hermes on Zeus' orders (long story). According to Roman poet Ovid, Hera commemorated Argos by preserving his many eyes in the peacock's tail. |
| 87 | * NighInvulnerability: WordOfGod says that Miraculous holders are essentially invulnerable. They certainly can resist attacks that would severely injure or even kill a normal human. However, there are a few caveats to their invulnerability. Any injuries sustained before transformation will persist afterwards. Holders still require air to breathe. In addition, Miraculous holders can be pushed to the point of exhaustion. Some of these vulnerabilities are circumvented by the Miraculous potions. They appear to revolve around allowing their users to endure much harsher environmental conditions; underwater, freezing temperatures, the vacuum of space… |
| 88 | * PsychoactivePowers: The New York special reveals that, if put under extreme emotional stress, the Cat's powers can go haywire. Presumably this is true for the other Miraculouses. |
| 89 | * SupernaturalTeam: The one thing they all have in common is that their powers come from their Miraculouses. This is in-contrast to their American neighbors the United Heroez, whose powers and themes are varied and explicitly non-magical. |
| 90 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: "Queen Wasp" shows that not even Miraculous holders are immune to Akumatization. If Hawk Moth akumatizes them when they have their Miraculouses active, they will be granted a powered-up version of their main power they can use at will without dropping their transformation, which is demonstrated by Queen Wasp's wasp swarm that can paralyze multiple targets and Cat Blanc's infinite power of destruction. |
| 91 | * SuperReflexes: Miraculous wielders get superhuman reflexes and agility from their superhero transformations. During any fight, they keep moving all the time and are extremely hard to hit. |
| 92 | * SuperStrength: Miraculous wielders get a notorious strength and stamina boost when transformed. They aren't slowed down when they carry people while running and jumping, and often lift and throw extremely heavy stuff with relative ease. In "Kwamibuster", for example, Ladybug catches a large safe box, that has a man inside, mid-fall. |
| 93 | * TransformationTrinket: Each hero has a special accessory which they use to transform. |
| 94 | ** Ladybug/Mister Bug -- Earrings. |
| 95 | ** Cat Noir/Lady Noir -- Ring. |
| 96 | ** Rena Rouge -- Necklace. |
| 97 | ** Carapace -- Bracelet. |
| 98 | ** Queen Bee/Vesperia -- Hair comb. |
| 99 | ** Viperion/Aspik -- Ouroboros bracelet. |
| 100 | ** Ryuko -- Choker necklace. |
| 101 | ** Bunnyx -- Pocket watch. |
| 102 | ** Pegasus -- Glasses. |
| 103 | ** King Monkey -- Circlet. |
| 104 | ** Polymouse/Multimouse -- Pendant necklace. |
| 105 | ** Pigella -- Pearl anklet. |
| 106 | ** Purple Tigress -- Panjas bracelet. |
| 107 | ** Miss Hound/[[spoiler:Flairmidable]]/Canigirl -- Collar Necklace |
| 108 | ** Rooster Bold -- Thumb Ring |
| 109 | ** Caprikid -- Hair Clips |
| 110 | ** Minotaurox -- Nose Ring |
| 111 | ** [[spoiler:Argos -- Brooch]] |

| 124 | A team of American superheroes protecting UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity from evil. |
| 125 | ---- |
| 126 | * TheCameo: In the ''Shanghai'' special, action figures of Majestia, Uncanny Valley and Eagle are seen being sold at a toy stand on the city boardwalk. |
| 127 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: They first appeared in the loosely canon ''Miraculous Adventures'' comic with [[FlatCharacter flat character designs and personalities]], as well as actively seeking out the help of Ladybug and Cat Noir (versus them dismissing the duo as irresponsible in the special). |
| 128 | * {{Expy}}: To the ''ComicBook/JusticeLeague'' (their numbers and many of their members based off of DC characters) and ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' (being based in New York). |
| 129 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: The appearance of the Miraculous heroes and other superheroes across the world isn't seen as [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight too weird]] as the existence of superheroes was already preceded by the [=United HeroeZ=]. |
| 130 | * SuperTeam: They are a team of superpowered individuals who fight evil in America. |
| 131 | * SuperheroCapitalOfTheWorld: Nearly every member lives and is active in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity. There are ''so'' many of them, a lot of them openly take mundane jobs and [[MundaneUtility use their powers to accomplish them]] when nothing superheroic is happening. |

| 138 | |
| 139 | ->'''Voiced by: Creator/AnairisQuinones (EN)''' |
| 140 | |
| 141 | One of the [=United HeroeZ=]'s greatest superheroes, the powerful Majestia. |
| 142 | ---- |
| 143 | * AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: As [[spoiler: Miraclonizer]] points out while "liberating" her, Olympia is afraid of how strong she really is and is terrified of going all out. Given that she shortly ended up ''sending skyscrapers flying'' just by ''breathing'', she has a good reason to be afraid. |
| 144 | %%* AmazonianBeauty: Being a mix of Superman and Wonder Woman, she is incredibly muscular, and beautiful. |
| 145 | * BattleCouple: Implied with Knightowl, as the two are always seen together in both superhero and civilian life. |
| 146 | * TheBigGirl: The tallest and strongest among the heroes. |
| 147 | * BreathWeapon: She can blow powerful hurricane-like winds. |
| 148 | * CainAndAbel: Future Bunnyx mentions that she has an evil sister named Ignoblia. |
| 149 | * TheFace: She's the first American superhero we learn of in the show and she's also one of the first and main to physically debut onscreen, making her the face of the [=United HeroeZ=]. |
| 150 | * FlyingBrick: Her powerset. She approaches Miraclonizer when he appears to surrender due being self-assured that he won't be able to harm her anyway. After Miraclonizer frees her from her careful use of her powers, she flies off into space to try to steadily push the moon down toward Earth and later has little trouble [[HurlItIntoTheSun hurling an intercontinental missile into the sun]]. |
| 151 | * GeniusBruiser: A powerful FlyingBrick ''and'' robotics expert. |
| 152 | * HumanAlien: Thomas Astruc [[https://twitter.com/Thomas_Astruc/status/1518708376565436424 confirmed on Twitter]] that she's an alien. |
| 153 | * LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The Light to Knightowl's Dark. As a hero she is TheCape dressed in [[PrimaryColorChampion bright primary colors]]. Her civilian identity involves her in a decorative green dress and tinted sunglasses, giving her a floral appearance. As a parent, she is much more openly affectionate towards Uncanny than Knightowl is to Sparrow. |
| 154 | * MamaBear: Hurting Uncanny Valley is her BerserkButton. |
| 155 | * MotherlyScientist: She treats Aeon, the gynoid she built, like her own daughter. |
| 156 | * OneHeadTaller: She towers over all of the other heroes. |
| 157 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: During the ''New York'' special, she watches her daughter Uncanny Valley get killed in action and can only cradle her dead body and cry. Thankfully, Ladybug revives her, but it's still a parent's worst nightmare. |
| 158 | * PrimaryColorChampion: Her costume is red, blue and gold all over. |
| 159 | * ShoutOut: In addition to being a WonderWomanWannabe, Majestia's blonde BoyishShortHair and primary color scheme evoke Carol Danvers as ComicBook/CaptainMarvel. |
| 160 | * StatuesqueStunner: Majestia towers over all the other heroes. |
| 161 | * WonderWomanWannabe: WordOfGod describes her as a fusion of ComicBook/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/WonderWoman. As a massively powerful FlyingBrick heroine, it's not hard to see why. Her design also evokes Wonder Woman's outfit with the golden lining around the chest and the star motif. |
| 162 | * WorldsStrongestWoman: So far, the physically most powerful superhuman in the set. Once she's affected by the Eagle Miraculous and stops holding back, she moves the Moon with relative ease, and was about to destroy it with a single punch right before returning to normal. |

| 173 | |
| 174 | A robot superhero created by Majestia. |
| 175 | ---- |
| 176 | * ArtificialFamilyMember: Although she is a robot created by Majestia as her sidekick, she treats Aeon like her own daughter and allows her to have a normal life like normal children. In turn, she refers to Majestia as "mother". |
| 177 | * BackFromTheDead: Cat Noir accidentally kills her with an errant Cataclysm, but Ladybug brings her back through her Miraculous Ladybug. |
| 178 | * CuteMachines: Her mechanical form gives her a certain precious, child-like quality. |
| 179 | * {{Expy}}: Her being a superhero artificial intelligence with EyeBeams created by another superhero brings to mind ComicBook/TheVision. |
| 180 | * EyeBeams: She can fire lasers from her {{third eye}}. |
| 181 | * {{Glamour}}: She has a holographic disguise she uses to look human, and removes it to fight crime. |
| 182 | * SecretKeeper: Her facial recognition programs allow her to locate Ladybug and Cat Noir's civilian identities when she and Sparrow desperately need them in the climax of the ''New York'' special. At the end, she promises to delete this information. |
| 183 | * {{Technopath}}: She can manipulate technology through touch. |
| 184 | * ThirdEye She has a third eye on her forehead when she's in her real form. |
| 185 | * ThoseTwoGuys: With Sparrow. They're the only sidekicks/kid heroes in the [=United HeroeZ=] and they're also classmates (and possibly siblings). |

| 194 | ->'''Voiced by: Imari Williams (Knightowl), Creator/AnairisQuinones (Barbara) (EN)''' |
| 195 | ---- |
| 196 | * BattleCouple: Implied with Majestia, as the two are always seen together in both superhero and civilian life. |
| 197 | * BatmanParody: Variation. |
| 198 | ** Her name and design ("Knightowl", sporting a brown, owl-themed bodysuit) mainly evoke Nite-Owl of ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' (specifically, the incarnation in ''Film/Watchmen2009''). Nite-Owl is ''himself'' comparable to Batman; all three characters are nocturnal animal-themed BadassNormal heroes. |
| 199 | ** Barbara takes her aloofness, role as TheCowl, and bird-themed sidekick directly from Batman. For bonus points, it's noted that her moral code is the only thing keeping her from going over the edge and becoming the very monsters she fights. |
| 200 | ** Her civilian name, Barbara Keynes, could be a reference to Barbara Gordon and Kate Kane, the secret identities of Batgirl and Batwoman, respectively. |
| 201 | * DramaticUnmask: At the end of the New York special, she unmasks herself to pass the torch to Sparrow and Uncanny Valley. |
| 202 | * TheFettered: {{Implied|}}, as is befitting a BatmanParody, from Miraclonizer's way of freeing her causing her let go of her strict moral code which then results in her becoming a very excessive KnightTemplar that tries to imprison people for not recycling or returning their library books. |
| 203 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She is the most openly distrustful of the French superheroes, but ultimately comes around to respect them after they save New York. |
| 204 | * KnightTemplar: What she becomes after Miraclonizer releases her from her own code of ethics - she ends up trying to arrest two people in their apartment [[FelonyMisdemeanor for failing to recycle or return library books]]. |
| 205 | * LegacyCharacter: She and Sparrow are implied to be this, with the current incarnations pretending to be the same characters but masquerading as males. It's also implied that Barbara herself was previously Sparrow, with each incarnation of Sparrow growing up to be the new Knightowl. |
| 206 | * LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Dark to Majestia's Light. As a hero, she is TheCowl. Her civilian identity is very {{goth}}, with thick eyeshadow and all-black clothes. As a parent, she is very strict and spartan to Sparrow. |
| 207 | * SamusIsAGirl: The fact that the current Knightowl is actually a woman is a secret. |
| 208 | * SecretIdentityVocalShift: Her mask has a built-in voice modulator to protect her identity, most noticeable when she removes it in one of the final scenes. |
| 209 | * ShoutOut: She's a BatmanParody and her first name is [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Barbara]]. |
| 210 | * TwitchyEye: Has a notable twitch from her sheer outrage at Aeon and Jess for disobeying protocol and fighting a villain without calling the senior heroes. |

| 224 | ---- |
| 225 | * AffectionateNickname: [[spoiler: Liiri calls her "hatchling".]] |
| 226 | * BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: She wears her hair in leather-bound braids and has a pair of traditional disc earrings to indicate her Native American heritage. [[spoiler:When she transforms into Eagle, she gets a single braid, her earrings each get a feather added to them, and her costume looks like it's made out of leather.]] |
| 227 | * DemotedToExtra: The early "[[https://miraculousladybug.fandom.com/wiki/Quantic_Kids Quantic Kids]]" concept was supposed to have Sparrow join Ladybug and Black Cat as a main character in the titular SuperTeam. |
| 228 | * ADogNamedDog: Similar to Ladybug, [[spoiler:her Miraculous superhero identity is the same name as its animal: Eagle]]. |
| 229 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: Starts off as a teen who relies on skill and gadgets to fight crime, [[spoiler:and becomes the bearer of the Eagle Miraculous]]. |
| 230 | * {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/{{Robin}}, as she's the BatmanParody's child and sidekick. Their names are also similar, both sparrows and robins are small birds. [[spoiler:And then she 'graduates' to the more mature, independent superhero identity of Eagle, evoking Dick Grayson's transition to ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}.]] |
| 231 | ** Her use of a skateboard during crime fighting invoked Marvel's [[ComicBook/NewWarriors Night Thrasher]]. |
| 232 | * HappilyAdopted: Implied. She calls Barbara her mother, but the two share no physical resemblance. It would also be something they would share in common with [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} their]] [[ComicBook/{{Robin}} inspirations]]. |
| 233 | * IJustWantToBeBadass: She laments that she and Aeon have been relegated to "babysitting" the French students to make sure they stay safe, and she wants to prove to the other heroes that she and Uncanny are just as capable as the adults. Sure enough, she gets her wish when she and Uncanny are the only ones who can help Ladybug and Cat Noir in the special's climax and she [[spoiler:becomes the holder of the Eagle Miraculous]]. |
| 234 | * LegacyCharacter: She and Knightowl are implied to be this, with the current incarnations pretending to be the same characters but masquerading as males. |

| 336 | |
| 337 | ->'''Voiced by: Geneviève Doang (FR), Creator/XantheHuynh (EN)''' |
| 338 | |
| 339 | A girl from Shanghai. After the passing of her adoptive father and master, Wu, she was entrusted with guarding a powerful secret beneath the city. |
| 340 | |
| 341 | In the ''Miraculous World'' special "Shanghai - The Legend of Lady Dragon", she meets Marinette and she teams up with Ladybug and Cat Noir to protect the Dragon Cave from Hawk Moth, soon leading to her wielding the Prodigious. |
| 342 | ---- |
| 343 | * ActionGirl: She's so good at kung fu that she knocks Lian, Kang, and Jiao down by pulling her strikes so they just recoil from surprise and fall down rather than actually hitting them. |
| 344 | * AffectionateNickname: Marinette comes to see her as an older sister figure and attempts to call her ''jiějiě'', but mispronounces it, much to everyone's amusement. |
| 345 | * AllChinesePeopleKnowKungFu: She is Chinese, though she was actually trained in kung fu by her sifu (and adoptive father) to explain her expertise succinctly. |
| 346 | * {{Animorphism}}: The power granted by the Prodigious is the ability to transform into the animal that each of the renlings represent. |
| 347 | * AntiHero: Fei doesn't like stealing, but she feels she had no choice if she wants to get the name of her father's killers out of Cash. She still helps people without personal gain, though. |
| 348 | * ArtfulDodger: Fei is a street-smart thief and pickpocket. She is the one who steals Marinette's bag and at first only helps Marinette in hopes of getting a large amount of money to her fence, for information to help her get revenge on whoever killed her father. |
| 349 | * BreathWeapon: Her dragon form can shoot lightning from her mouth. |
| 350 | * CunningLinguist: She's perfectly fluent in English aside from her native Mandarin. It comes to her help when Marinette meets her, who, as shown in the series, despite being Chinese from her mother's side, doesn't know Mandarin and so they communicate to each other using English. |
| 351 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: As a baby, she was adopted by Wu and was raised to protect the Prodigious from those that would misuse it. However, Wu would be killed when his school was attacked by their enemies, leaving Fei orphaned once more. Now she prowls the streets of Shanghai as an ArtfulDodger, pickpocketing people and fencing their stolen valuables to get information from the black market clients that employ her. As a result, she's forsaken her father's teachings... until she meets Ladybug and Cat Noir. |
| 352 | * DirtForcefield: Despite being an orphan who lives in an abandoned school ruined from a fire and driven to pickpocketing, Fei looks completely immaculate throughout "Shanghai - The Legend of Lady Dragon" with clothes in as good shape as Marinette's and she even seems to be wearing more blush than her. The worst her appearance suffers throughout the special is YourMakeupIsRunning. |
| 353 | * DragonsUpTheYinYang: She's a Chinese superheroine whose ultimate form is a dragon. |
| 354 | * ElementalPowers: Her dragon form grants the ability to control elements of the storm: lightning, wind and water. Unlike Ryuko, who becomes those elements, Renren can command existing sources of those elements (or breathe them, in the case of lightning) for much larger attacks. |
| 355 | * FieryRedhead: {{Downplayed}} - Fei is a skilled martial artist who's not afraid to use it when she has to, and driven for {{Revenge}} against the one who killed her adoptive father...but her hair is actually black (with one pink streak) and only becomes a bright vibrant red after she transforms into Renren, which requires her to let go from her {{Revenge}} to fully use its power. |
| 356 | * {{Foil}}: To Marinette. Character design-wise, they wear similar clothing -- a black cardigan and a white shirt, and instead of pink pants, Fei wears red pants. |
| 357 | * HappilyAdopted: As a baby, she was adopted by her late ''shifu'', Wu, and she wanted nothing more than avenge his death until realizing doing so was against what her adoptive father taught her. |
| 358 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Marinette's ObliviousGuiltSlinging and subsequent shock that Fei deceived her wears on Fei throughout the Shanghai special - up until Fei's failure to transform into a dragon because RevengeIsNotJustice causes her shame over her failure to live up to her adoptive father's teachings to come to the fore so she leaves and states she is unworthy of wielding the Prodigious. It takes Marinette assuring her otherwise to put her back in action. |
| 359 | * MagicalGuide: Two-fold; the Prodigious comes with the Renlings, who only she can see, that can guide her on the virtues she needs to access their powers. When she puts her jade bracelet back on, Mei Shi appears in a renling-like form, visible to everyone, and states his work with her isn't finished. |
| 360 | * MartialPacifist: Befitting her kung-fu training, Fei has no compulsion against using her fists she sees it as needed but she clearly prefers just running away whenever she has a chance to instead. When Lian, Kang, and Jiao accost her for pickpocketing, she knocks them down by surprising them as her strikes barely miss them instead of actively hitting them for trying to stop a crime. |
| 361 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 362 | ** Rénrén means a person who carries a responsibility, befitting Fei having the responsibility of guarding the Dragon Cave, the Prodigious, and protecting Shanghai. |
| 363 | ** Her name is a homonym in pinyin for Rénrén means "everyone", seeing that she's the protector of Shanghai and is the human part of the Prodigious. |
| 364 | * PowerDyesYourHair: When transformed into Ladydragon, her hair becomes bright red. |
| 365 | * PowerMakesYourHairGrow: Her transformation into Ladydragon lengthens her ponytail to be long enough to go down to her butt. |
| 366 | * PsychoactivePowers: The forms she can take are limited by her ability to realize the virtues each renling represents. To access her dragon form, she needs to be in a state of mind for justice, something her desire for vengeance initially keeps her achieving. |
| 367 | * {{Revenge}}: She wants {{Revenge}} on the people that killed her adopted father, which was against his teachings. In the end, she abandons this path because RevengeIsNotJustice and she was unable to transform into a dragon until she lets go of it. |
| 368 | * ShapeshifterBaggage: Ladydragon makes full use of her different forms by sometimes transforming into a smaller one to slip through tight spaces or dodge attacks that were aimed at a much larger form. |
| 369 | * TomboyishPonytail: She's a good bit less girly at a glance than Marinette due to knowing kung-fu, and does up her hair in a ponytail. |
| 370 | * TransformationTrinket: Her Prodigious is a necklace that allows her to become Renren. Unlike a Miraculous, she can transform at will without speaking an invocation. |
| 371 | * YourMakeupIsRunning: When Fei is crying in one scene, her tears smudge her mascara. |

| 380 | * TheCameo: Action figures of him are seen being sold at the toy stand in the ''Shanghai'' special. |
| 381 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: It's implied that he's an active Chinese superhero, but wherever he was during Yan Woshi's attack on Shanghai is unknown. |
| 382 | * MonkeyKingLite: To Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, from the Chinese literary classic ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''. |
| 383 | * OneSteveLimit: Hou Wang (猴王) directly translates to "Monkey King", similar to the Miraculous user King Monkey. Both are based on the Monkey King from ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''. |

| 392 | |
| 393 | The Order of the Guardians is a group of guardians who protect and deliver Miraculouses, inhabiting a temple where the inactive Miraculouses were kept. |
| 394 | ---- |
| 395 | * AdultsAreUseless: Despite their claim that the Miraculous are to be used for good, we rarely see them do anything, and when they do, it is often not very useful, except for Master Wang Fu. Unlike the superheroes from New York or Fei Wu from Shanghai, they are very rarely seen actively fighting antagonists. Possibly justified, as they may still be occupied with [[FishOutOfTemporalWater learning how to live in the modern world.]] |
| 396 | * BackFromTheBrink: [[spoiler:The sentimonster Feast consumed all of them save for Fu, who hid the Miraculous for over a hundred years on his lonesome. Ladybug and Cat Noir defeating Feast freed them all, rebirthing the Order into modern times.]] |
| 397 | * BigGood: The Order of the Guardians are the highest authority when it comes to the Miraculous, being the order meant to protect and distribute them. |
| 398 | * CapeBusters: Part of their training involves becoming strong enough to hold off or even overpower Miraculous users in case they go rogue. This is best exemplified by Su Han, who overpowers Ladybug and Cat Noir ''at once'' without breaking a sweat. |
| 399 | * CripplingOverspecialization: All guardians are trained in the art of Mirakung Fu, a form of martial arts made to fight miraculous wielders and ''only'' miraculous wielders, not villains created by their powers. When Su-Han is faced against an akumatized Fu, he is quick to run from that fight. |
| 400 | * GoodIsNotNice: The Order of the Guardians are the authority of all things miraculous, and since the miraculous were created specifically for heroism, this is a given. However, they are an ancient order with ancient rules and uncompromising traditions that [[DeliberateValuesDissonance can rub a lot of modern day people the wrong way]]. Master Fu was [[ChildSoldiers inducted into the order against his will at a very young age]] and they have very strict rules in regards to what the kwamis and the heroes that wield are allowed to do. |
| 401 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Su-Han implies that one of the rules they have about the miraculous is that only adults are allowed to use them as kids and teenagers are much less able to wield them. With that said, it is implied that all of their members are forcibly inducted into their ranks as children, Fu having been taken from his family as a child. |
| 402 | * SparseListOfRules: The Order runs on a list of at least 133 rules in regards to the miraculous, including: |
| 403 | ** Kwamis aren't allowed to live outside of the Miracle Box. |
| 404 | ** Guardians aren't allowed to lose a Miraculous. |
| 405 | ** A Guardian isn't ever allowed to wear a Miraculous, no matter the situation. |
| 406 | ** No involving civilians in a fight. |
| 407 | * WarriorMonk: The Guardians are an order of monks set in Tibet and are adept in martial arts. |

| 415 | |
| 416 | The keeper of the Miraculous and holder of the turtle bracelet. When he uses the Turtle Miraculous, he transforms into the superhero Jade Turtle. |
| 417 | ---- |
| 418 | * AllAsiansWearConicalStrawHats: As Jade Turtle, he wears his shield on his head in a manner resembling an eastern rice hat. |
| 419 | * AllForNothing: He essentially [[spoiler:sacrificed his identity as a guardian and made Marinette his successor]] in order to ensure Hawk Moth wouldn't get the Miraculous in the box. One season later, during "Strike Back", [[spoiler:Félix abuses Marinette's trust in Adrien in order to betray her as Flairmidable, uses his Fetch power to snatch her yo-yo and hand it over to Gabriel, who uses it to take every single Miraculous within the box before she can react.]] |
| 420 | * AmnesiacResonance: [[spoiler:After relinquishing the Miraculous Box to Ladybug, along with his memories of his time as a Guardian, Marinette takes him to a train out of the country where he meets up with Marianne. Fu immediately gets a CrushFilter and declares that even though he just met her (or so he thinks), he feels as if he has known her for an eternity]]. |
| 421 | * AsianSpeekeeEngrish: In the French dub, Fu has a raspier voice and a more pronounced Chinese accent. |
| 422 | * BeginnersLuck: Fu had barely started his training as a guardian before he became the LastOfHisKind, and several decades later, he had to choose heroes to stop Hawk Moth. Despite that, he understood the fundamental nature of heroism enough that he chose really well. Of course, luck (in the form of Tikki) ''is'' on his side... |
| 423 | * BigGood: As the Guardian of the Miraculous, it is Fu's job to oversee the protection of the Miraculous and make sure that they don't end up in the wrong hands. |
| 424 | * BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Because he thinks the heroes can't possibly defeat Feast, and because he doesn't want them to risk their lives fixing his mistake, he covertly takes back their Miraculouses. |
| 425 | * TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Ironically, by fleeing the site of his greatest shame and moving to another continent, Fu brought himself into the very city that Hawk Moth would later prey on. |
| 426 | * CharacterCatchphrase: Whenever he gives more Miraculous to Marinette to lend out to other heroes, he says, "Marinette Dupain-Cheng, pick an ally you can trust to fight alongside you on this mission. Choose wisely. Such powers are meant to serve the greater good. Once the mission is over, you must retrieve the Miraculous from them." |
| 427 | * TheChooserOfTheOne: He possesses seventeen of the nineteen Miraculous, the peacock and butterfly brooches being the exception. He covertly gave Marinette and Adrien their Miraculous. He normally lets Marinette hand out other Miraculous temporarily, but when she's captured by Party Crasher, he gives the Monkey Miraculous to [[spoiler:Kim, who had caught him when he lost his balance earlier in the episode]]. |
| 428 | * CrackOhMyBack: A RunningGag has his back give out every time he tries to transform into Jade Turtle, preventing him from doing so. Until the Season 3 finale, where we finally get to see him in action for the first ([[spoiler:[[LaserGuidedAmnesia and last]]]]) time. |
| 429 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: "The Collector" hints at this, and "Feast" gives full details -- [[spoiler:he made a "mistake" that led to the destruction of his temple. Specifically, he accidentally created a Sentimonster who eats Miraculous, and this Sentimonster destroyed the temple and all of the existing known Miraculous except the box of nineteen that Fu managed to spirit away.]] |
| 430 | * DeathSeeker: During his HeroicBSOD in "Feast", he loses hope that anything other than death can make up for his sins. |
| 431 | * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:In the season 3 finale, he initially appears to be dead after he gives up his Guardianship to Ladybug and his Shellter is shattered by Hawk Moth's Sentimonster. Turns out he is alive, but he ''did'' [[LaserGuidedAmnesia lose all his memories of his former role in the process]]]]. |
| 432 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:When Master Fu relinquishes his duties as guardian in "Miracle Queen", he suffers from amnesia of most events in his life, including all memories associated with the Miraculouses like of Marinette and Marianne. Combined with his advanced age, this brings to mind degenerative conditions suffered by those of advanced age like senile dementia.]] |
| 433 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Has been in the background of the episodes "Antibug", "Animan", and "The Gamer" before properly being introduced in "Princess Fragrance" and his role being explained in the two origins episodes. |
| 434 | * ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: As Hawk Moth is aware that Marianne knows the Guardian, she cannot be with Fu until he's been dealt with accordingly. [[spoiler:Or at least, not until Fu ceases to be relevant.]] |
| 435 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: In the season 3 finale, [[spoiler:he transfers the Guardianship to Ladybug, sacrificing his memories of his role in the process]]. |
| 436 | * LastOfHisKind: Fu is the last vestige of the Order of the Guardians, [[spoiler: or at least he was...]] |
| 437 | * LiteralMinded: Inverted. In "Syren", he tries deciphering the ingredients to the transformation potions for the kwamis, seeing every written description as metaphor. Because of this, he never thought to use a ''literal'' "tear of joy". |
| 438 | * MeaningfulName: The most common character used for Fu's name (傅) translates to "teacher" or "mentor." It can also be interpreted to mean "good fortune" and "happiness" (福). |
| 439 | * TheMedic: "Princess Fragrance" reveals that he can heal sick and injured kwami, and his dialogue seems to imply it's an ability of his Miraculous. [[note]][[AnimalMotifs Turtles]] can represent longevity.[[/note]] |
| 440 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: Downplayed. While he doesn't actually die, season 3 ends with [[spoiler:him wiping his own memories to make Ladybug the new Guardian]], achieving mostly the same narrative effect. |
| 441 | * MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Though not necessarily tiny, Fu is shorter than middle schoolers Marinette and Adrien. |
| 442 | * MyGreatestFailure: |
| 443 | ** Implied. Judging by a conversation between him and Wayzz concerning his choice of Marinette and Adrien, Fu had made a mistake involving a new Miraculous holder once, and he hopes for that to never happen again. [[spoiler:It's inferred to have something to do with the Butterfly and/or Peacock Miraculous, both of which are owned by Hawk Moth]]. |
| 444 | ** "The Collector" hints at his mistake, and "Feast" reveals what happened in full: [[spoiler:he was an acolyte of an order called the Guardians, until he was tasked with guarding a Miracle Box for 24 hours without any food. Frustrated with his duties and extremely hungry, he used the peacock miraculous to create a sentimonster to get him something to eat. Unfortunately his resentment towards the miraculous made it devour them instead and eventually destroy the whole temple, and while escaping the destruction he lost both the butterfly and peacock miraculous.]] |
| 445 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: Subverted. He ''tries'' to transform so he can fight Feast alongside Ladybug and Cat Noir, but it doesn't work. They reassure him that supporting them from the sidelines is enough. |
| 446 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: [[spoiler:He can create potions which grant the kwamis additional powers. So far, we know he can create at least seven, which he gives to Marinette and Adrien.]] |
| 447 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His character design strongly resembles Creator/PatMorita's Mr. Miyagi character from ''Film/TheKarateKid'' franchise. |
| 448 | * ObfuscatingDisability: Master Fu is far more spry than he acts when testing Marinette and Adrien. |
| 449 | * ProperlyParanoid: He lives under an alias, stating that you can never be too careful. Given that Hawk Moth is actively searching for him, this proves to be a wise precaution. It especially rings true when someone close to him gets akumatized and immediately starts to spill the beans (all on her own - Hawk Moth didn't even ''know'' she knew anything strategically important). Thankfully, she didn't know enough to truly endanger him. (It also lets you know ''just how dedicated'' he is to taking zero chances - for his true name to be a total dead end, he'd have to have been living under the assumed name for most of his time in Paris, even ''long before'' Hawk Moth, or there'd be knowledge of a "Wang Fu" who disappeared when Hawk Moth appeared, or when the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculous were lost, or some other time you'd expect a Guardian of the Miraculous to need to vanish. Instead, Wang Fu just ''doesn't exist''.) Also, he insists that Alya and Nino only be loaned the Fox and Turtle Miraculous as needed, and they must be returned to him after each mission. You'd probably think it'd be okay if they held on to them full-time... until "Oblivio", that is. |
| 450 | * PutOnABus: Well, Put on a Train, but even so. [[spoiler:He formally gives up being the Guardian of the Miracle Box during "Miracle Queen" and entrusts the care of the Miraculouses to Ladybug. This, however, costs him his memories, since when a Guardian renounces their position, their memories are erased to keep the secret alive]]. After this, he leaves the country on a train with Marianne. |
| 451 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's 186 years old, but looks like a regular old man. How he's lived so long isn't explained. According to WordOfGod, [[https://twitter.com/MiraculousMX/status/940694063661178880 his longevity is tied to his lifestyle rather than his Miraculous]]. |
| 452 | * RefusalOfTheCall: "Feast" reveals that he didn't willingly join the Order of the Guardians; he was forced to by his parents. [[spoiler:His resentment of the Order bled into a sentimonster he accidentally created while trying to get some food during a training exercise, causing the destruction of the Order.]] |
| 453 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Has broken quite a few of the Guardians' rules to ensure Paris is kept safe from someone like Hawk Moth. |
| 454 | * SecretKeeper: As the one who chose Marinette and Adrien to wield the Miraculouses, he is one of the only ones who knows their true identities. |
| 455 | * SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler: He sacrifices his identity as a guardian and his memories to make Marinette the next guardian and ensure Hawk Moth doesn't get the Miraculous. Come "Strike Back", Marinette is backstabbed by Félix/Flairmidable, who hands Gabriel all the Miraculous from within the box anyway.]] |
| 456 | * SecretSecretKeeper: Although he was the one who gave Marinette and Adrien their kwamis, he kept to the shadows for the beginning of their career. He reveals himself to Marinette in "Volpina" and to Adrien in "Syren". |
| 457 | * SecretTestOfCharacter: Master Fu pretends to be feeble in front of Marinette and Adrien, both of whom rush to his aid unprompted. This convinces him that they deserve the power of the Miraculous. |
| 458 | * ShipperOnDeck: He states in "Origins" that Marinette and Adrien are "meant for each other". |
| 459 | * ShoutOut: |
| 460 | ** He resembles Mr. Miyagi from ''Film/TheKarateKid''. |
| 461 | ** He's also [[ComicBook/TheShadowHero a Chinese superhero whose source of power is a green turtle]]. |
| 462 | ** When Marinette asked how an old Chinese man healed Tikki, he responds "Ancient Chinese secret", likely a reference to a (now infamous) Calgon commercial from the early 70's. |
| 463 | ** Also, an old man wearing a Hawaiian shirt that's more athletic than he looks with a turtle motif? Is this Master Fu or [[Franchise/DragonBall Master Roshi]]? |
| 464 | * SoProudOfYou: Towards Marinette and Adrien after he sees how the two have already changed after the first times with their respective Miraculous in the Origins episode. |
| 465 | * StarCrossedLovers: As Hawk Moth is aware that Marianne knows the Guardian, Fu cannot be with her until he's been dealt with accordingly. |
| 466 | * TechnologicallyBlindElders: Zigzagged. |
| 467 | ** He's savvy enough to [[spoiler:take pictures of the pages of the Miraculous spellbook so he can have access to its contents after Marinette has to return it to Gabriel so that he will allow Adrien to return to school.]] |
| 468 | ** After Marinette recounts [[NoodleIncident the time he had to send Wayzz to fetch Marinette because he lost his house keys]], Tikki grumbles that he really needs to learn how to text. |
| 469 | * ToBeLawfulOrGood: Season 4 retroactively reveals that as a guardian he had violated their many rules and conditions (Guardians are not allowed to use the Miraculouses, only adults are allowed to use them, no involving civilians, etc.), but there is no mistake that the decisions he made were for the greater good. This is best emphasized with how he chose Marinette and Adrien, [[SecretTestOfCharacter having chosen them when they proved to be compassionate and selfless, rather than anything grander or more pragmatic]]. |
| 470 | * TransformationTrinket: His bracelet is his Miraculous. |
| 471 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: While creating a sentimonster to steal some food, he inadvertently projected all of his resentment towards the Miraculouses and their guardians into it. This would cascade into not only into the temple's destruction, but the rise of Hawk Moth many years later. |
| 472 | * WeakBossStrongUnderlings: BigGood Master Wang Fu cannot take the physical toll of using a Miraculous due to his old age (he's well over 100 years). This forces him to RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude by giving them Miraculous jewels, so they can go and fight the evil Miraculous user Hawk Moth for him. The younger heroes are inexperienced, though, so Master Fu remains the Guardian of the Miraculous and the titular character's mentor. |
| 473 | * WiseOldTurtle: The Guardian of the Miraculous and the closest thing Marinette and Adrien have to a mentor. He's an elderly Chinese man who -- fittingly -- wields the Turtle Miraculous. |

| 477 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/su_han_square.png]] |
| 478 | ->'''Voiced by: Francisco Júnior (BP), Creator/KaijiTang (EN) [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]] Gauthier Battoue (FR)''' [[/labelnote]] |
| 479 | |
| 480 | A Celestial Guardian of the Miraculous. He is a traditionalist and disapproves of Marinette. |
| 481 | ---- |
| 482 | * AdultsAreUseless: Despite being an authority figure who should theoretically be a major ally against Hawk Moth, his only actual actions are to antagonize Marinette twice over, get completely distracted from his duties by internet cat videos, and make promises of reinforcements that he fails to uphold. |
| 483 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He pretty much manhandles Ladybug and Cat Noir ''combined'' when they go against him, something only really done by akumatized villains in general. |
| 484 | * AngerBornOfWorry: A lot of his temper and strict adherence to the rules is because he knows how dangerous Kwamis can be and fears the devastation that could be unleashed if they aren’t used properly. |
| 485 | * BackFromTheDead: He was one of the Guardians who was eaten by Feast 172 years ago and was restored after its defeat. |
| 486 | * BadassNormal: Despite not using any Miraculous, he is still able to hold his own in combat against Ladybug and Cat Noir - as he puts it, Guardians are trained to be able to overpower Miraculous holders in case they go rogue. Later, he also gives Furious Fu a really good fight. |
| 487 | * BaldHeadOfToughness: He's a badass monk who can fight Ladybug and Cat Noir to a standstill and doesn't have a hair on his head. |
| 488 | * CallingYourAttacks: When using his Mirakung Fu he has a habit of calling out his moves, move-names including "Stream of Justice Blows Right Down, Murders the Enemy-Armies". |
| 489 | * ControlFreak: His biggest priority is whether or not the rules that the Guardians follow are being followed and blames any inadequacies Fu and Marinette have on their lack of discipline and justifying his LackOfEmpathy on this. |
| 490 | * DirtyCoward: Played with. He is not against [[WouldHurtAChild attacking Ladybug and Cat Noir to retrieve their miraculous and the Miracle Box]] and [[WouldHarmASenior assaulting an elderly and amnesiac Fu for his walking cane]], but the moment Furious Fu appears, he is quick to run and hide while berating Ladybug and Cat Noir for their form from a safe distance while they deal with the aftermath of his apathetic actions. Eventually he does intervene and gives Furious Fu a good fight even without using a Miraculous, though he ends up losing as he implied before that his training was just to deal with Miraculous holders ''not'' supervillains. |
| 491 | * DrillSergeantNasty: He had many insulting names for Fu when he was his student for not meeting his standards such as Cry-Baby and Pigeon-Legs, which he still continues to call him as an adult. Even at the end of the episode where he gains more respect for his old student does he have to remember to call him by his name. |
| 492 | * ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: He's a real jerk about it, but as season 4 goes to show, he's not exactly wrong that Marinette isn't really a good fit for a Guardian, let alone Fu's successor; she gives out Miraculous like free candy, acts like a ControlFreak during most situations, keeps her trusted partner Cat Noir in the dark about most things, and her love for Adrien leaves her ''very'' vulnerable to be taken advantage of, [[spoiler: which ends up happening in "Strike Back".]] |
| 493 | * FatalFlaw: |
| 494 | ** Wrath. For a monk, he is quick to anger and is quick to insult, berate or threaten anyone who violates his code or [[ControlFreak disrespects his authority in any way]] to the point where it gets Shadow Moth's attention. He at least has some level of awareness of his anger as a problem, as the moment he sees an akuma coming for him, he centers himself by saying "Anger is mine, but I am not my anger.", calming himself and driving it away. |
| 495 | ---> '''Su-Han''': If I still had my staff, I would hunt you down '''''in no time!''''' |
| 496 | ** His LackOfEmpathy. As a high ranking Guardian, his purpose in life is to watch over everything Miraculous-related for [[TheNeedsOfTheMany the greater good of the world]]. When it comes with dealing with social interactions or more immediate threats, he can be rather tactless and suffers from TheoryTunnelVision just to maintain the high ground. When he's told about Shadow Moth and how Ladybug and Cat Noir have been doing fairly well for themselves, [[ControlFreak all Su-Han cares about is how Fu and Marinette aren't following the Order's rules]] and that there is someone out there more qualified to use their miraculous. This comes to its logical conclusion when Ladybug [[CallingTheOldManOut calls him out]] for expecting them to fix the mess his tactless behavior caused (getting Fu akumatized) and [[NeverMyFault refusing to do anything himself]] (since he is only trained to fight Miraculous users). |
| 497 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: He's been effectively dead for over a century and a half, and it shows. Su-Han is thrown off by modern developments like television and cellphones. |
| 498 | * GoodIsNotNice: His goal is to protect the world from the dangers of the Miraculous. In this duty, he has no problem fighting children and mugging Master Fu for his staff. |
| 499 | * JerkassHasAPoint: He's extremely rude and aggressive towards Marinette, but he's completely justified in being worried about the fate of Paris riding on the backs of two teenagers. He also holds Fu in utter contempt, which is harsh in light of how the man still managed to protect the Miraculous by himself for over a hundred years without much in the way of training or resources - but he wasn't even aware that was the case until Marinette told him so Su-Han was still mostly stuck on his previous impression that Fu was just the young Guardian initiate whose weakness created a Sentimonster that destroyed his entire order for over a hundred years (and handed the most powerful Miraculous to untrained teenagers to further fuel his bias). |
| 500 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is crotchety and dismissive of both Marinette and Master Fu, but Marinette ultimately does win him over and he admits that her methods work. |
| 501 | * JustAKid: He is dismissive of Marinette as Ladybug due to her youth. He eases up after she and Cat Noir defeat Furious Fu. |
| 502 | * {{Koan}}: He tends to say these ad nauseum to the point of whether or not you can't be certain if they mean anything. |
| 503 | --> '''Su-Han''': The claws of the hungry cat, powerless against the milkman's iron pole! |
| 504 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: He doesn't know the identity of Cat Noir as Marinette doesn't know and he can't track him with his staff because Cat Noir doesn't possess the Miracle Box. Which is his biggest issue with the current situation as he doesn't like the idea that a Miraculous, let alone one as dangerous as the Destruction one, being held by a unknown person who can't be monitored or answered to potentially dangerous. |
| 505 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Su-Han is prone to these. While he may have intended to give the Miraculous to sensible adults and have them fight against Shadow Moth when he tried to take them from Ladybug and Cat Noir in "Furious Fu", it is highly unlikely that he would have succeeded to do that. Most likely, Shadow Moth would have found out and tried to steal them. Considering how Su-Han can‘t fight off akumatized villains despite knowing Mirakung Fu, this most likely would have led to Shadow Moth‘s victory. Again, in "Ephemeral", he forces Ladybug to learn about Cat Noir‘s identity, which she refused before for security reasons. This time, this leads to Shadow Moth‘s victory, though the Kwami Sass is able to undo it using time travel. |
| 506 | * NoSell: In his debut episode, he sees an akuma coming after him and places himself in a meditative state to drive it off before it can corrupt him. |
| 507 | * ProperlyParanoid: He is paranoid over not only the fate of Paris resting on the shoulders of two teenagers, but that he can't track Cat Noir, as neither he nor Ladybug know his civillian identity and he doesn't have the Miraculous Box. Come "Strike Back", [[spoiler: Paris is bound to face Hawk Moth at his strongest now that he has obtained ''every single Miraculous within the box'', which he did after Félix/Flairmidable betrayed Ladybug by playing on her blind devotion to Adrien and her lack of knowledge of his real identity.]] |
| 508 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] and [[ZigZaggingTrope zig-zagged]] to a degree. Su-Han certainly doesn't seem that way at first, but in the end it really just takes Ladybug standing up for herself for him to admit he was being unreasonable. |
| 509 | * RedIsHeroic: Su-Han wears a red and brown guardian monk suit, and he is very dedicated to his job, which is to protect the world from the dangers of the Miraculous. |
| 510 | * SecretKeeper: He uses his staff to track down the Miracle Box and learns Ladybug's secret identity in the process. |
| 511 | * WarriorMonk: He is trained in Mirakung Fu, a martial art designed to fight against rogue miraculous-users. |
| 512 | * WouldHarmASenior: When Ladybug and Cat Noir steal his staff, he mugs the 186-year-old Fu (knocking down Marianne as well) to take his cane so he can track them down. |
| 513 | * WouldHurtAChild: He shows no qualms about engaging in a fight with the teenaged Ladybug and Cat Noir. |

| 538 | |
| 539 | [[folder:Jeanne d'Arc/Scarlet Fate]] |
| 540 | |
| 541 | A previous holder of the Ladybug Miraculous. Also known as Scarlet Fate while she was a holder. |
| 542 | |
| 543 | ---- |
| 544 | * BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: In this world, Joan of Arc was a MagicalGirl. |
| 545 | * BoyishShortHair: Her hair is even shorter than Adrien's. As well, Dark Grimalkin by contrast is shown to have hair that's at least long enough to go down to his shoulders. |
| 546 | * DumbJock: {{Downplayed|}}. Jeanne isn't shown as outright stupid in Reunion (indeed, she jabbers on for a whole minute for answering the question of who was king of France in 1423 about the variety of things that occurred to lead up to true answer of "no one") but she's athletic while tending to prefer to just charge at situations, and also dismissive of intellectual things like writing (to the point where she thinks a fountain pen's only use is as a tiny sword...[[FishOutOfTemporalWater though she is from medieval France]]). She ends up expressing admiration for Marinette's own intelligence by the end of it. |
| 547 | * FakingTheDead: Her memories as the holder of the Ladybug Miraculous indicate that she escaped her historic execution by burning with a trick...hopefully, since the reunion of her only contains her memories while she was Scarlet Fate, and Jeanne renounced the Ladybug Miraculous soon after her escape. |
| 548 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: ''Very'' {{Downplayed|}} - she appears in Reunion as the sum of Jeanne d'Arc's (or rather, Scarlet Fate's) memories while she was a holder of the Ladybug Miraculous which can still perceive around herself (but not physically affect anything) but only Marinette can see her. The only trouble being out of the time period actually causes her is possibly mistaking a fountain pen for some kind of tiny sword. |
| 549 | * {{Foil}}: Just like Marinette, she fell in love with her time period's current Cat Miraculous' holder due to finding out how kind he was - only she knew who he actually was and what he looked like when it happened. She also had her love life obstructed as a Miraculous holder by, well literal monarchs. |
| 550 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Despite essentially being a female knight in medieval times fighting in a vicious, bloody war, Jeanne never wears a helmet. This may be the reason why she has several [[RuggedScar scars]] on her face. |
| 551 | * HighlyConspicuousUniform: She doesn't wear a mask and suit like Marinette, but compensates with her red-and-black-polka-dot tabard in addition to the gems in her sword matching the Ladybug Miraculous' yoyo/earrings' pattern. Dark Grimalkin is comparably subtler with just a cat's green pawprint on his chest and his helmet having cat ears. |
| 552 | * JesusTaboo: At no point are the real Jeanne's devotion to {{God}} or her claims of being instructed by ArchangelMichael mentioned.[[note]]The closest we get is her stating Marinette will "become accustomed" to questions of hearing voices, as only Marinette can speak with her ghost.[[/note]] In fact, she would most likely be horrified by serving a magical creature. |
| 553 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Being more athletic and bold, wanting to charge right into combat, she tends to serve as the masculine girl to Dark Grimalkin's feminine boy who is more gentle and fighting to protect others. |
| 554 | * LoveAcrossBattlelines: She fell in love with Dark Grimalkin even though her kingdom of France was fighting against the kingdom of England. |
| 555 | * RuggedScar: Her face has four scars on it to tell you that her sword isn't just for show - the one of her cheek is x-shaped. |
| 556 | * XMarksTheHero: This Ladybug Miraculous holder's {{Rugged Scar}}s includes an x-shaped scar on her cheek. |
| 557 | * YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: How she talks in the English translation. |
| 558 | [[/folder]] |

| 561 | [[folder:Dark Grimalkin]] |
| 562 | A previous holder of the Cat Miraculous. |
| 563 | |
| 564 | ---- |
| 565 | * BlackKnight: In appearance, though [[DarkIsNotEvil not in nature]]. He's an English knight dressed in black armor with a black helmet and a black tabard with a bright green pawprint, and wields a sinister-looking black axe in addition to the staff of the Cat Miraculous. Jeanne, however, outright calls him the hero who protected the Kingdom of England at the time, and his introductory card shows him fighting a fire-breathing dragon in order to defend a village. |
| 566 | * CoolHelmet: Instead of a mask like Adrien, he wears a face-covering black helmet with cat ears. |
| 567 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He wears black armor and robe, and is kind and compassionate enough to help the enemy kingdom of England's civilians caught in the crossfire. |
| 568 | * KnightInShiningArmor: In personality, [[BlackKnight if not quite in appearance]]. He's described as a genuine and compassionate hero who protected the innocents of England and conducted himself with honor in the war against France. |
| 569 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: Unlike Jeanne, who kept her hair short and had a number of scars on her face, Dark Grimalkin has long black hair that falls past his shoulders and a kind, compassionate face unmarked by any scars. |
| 570 | * LoveAcrossBattlelines: He fell in love with Jeanne while the two's kingdoms of England and France respectively were fighting a war against each other. |
| 571 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Being more compassionate and gentle, wanting to fight to protect, people, he tends to serve as the feminine boy to Scarlet Fate's Masculine girl who is athletic and bold, wanting to charge right into combat. |
| 572 | * WouldntHurtAChild: Despite being willing to fight for his kingdom, he refused to hurt the children of the kingdom of France. |

| 582 | |
| 583 | ->'''Voiced by: Antoine Tomé (FR), Creator/KeithSilverstein (EN)''' |
| 584 | |
| 585 | The heroic version of Gabriel Agreste from an alternate universe. When he uses the Butterfly Miraculous, he transforms into the superhero Betterfly. |
| 586 | ---- |
| 587 | * AllLovingHero: Gabriel protects Marinette (whom he believed to be a normal civilian) from Shadybug and Claw Noir, asks for Alya and Cat Noir's permission to kamikotize them into superheroes and despite Shadybug and Claw Noir being his enemies, he tries to reform them to the side of good, even becoming horrified when Claw Noir got a cataclysm injury. |
| 588 | * TheAtoner: He previously swore loyalty to the Supreme's evil rule, and as a result he lost his wife, so he became Betterfly to redeem himself and free his universe. |
| 589 | * BenevolentBoss: In the special's opening, Gabriel is shown to be nice towards his kwami Nooroo and uses his powers for good, unlike his main counterpart. |
| 590 | * BigGood: This version of Gabriel is this for the ''Miraculous Paris'' special. He crosses the multiverse to seek help from Ladybug and Cat Noir to fight Shadybug and Claw Noir, who comes to their world to steal the Butterfly Miraculous from him, and then encourages his villains to become better people. |
| 591 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Like the original Gabriel Agreste/Monarch, this version is decked out in a dark purple suit. However, ''unlike'' his evil counterpart, Betterfly creates Kamikos, which are able to kamikotize people into superheroes. |
| 592 | * DubNameChange: In the original French dub, he's known as 'Hesperia', a reference to the genus of butterflies known as skippers. |
| 593 | * AFatherToHisMen: After alternate Ladybug and Paw Noir reformed and joined his Resistance, Betterfly welcomed them and reassured they'll succeed into defeating the Supreme as they're now a team, and while unaware that Paw Noir is actually his son. |
| 594 | * FriendToAllChildren: He apologizes to Marinette for suddenly appearing in her room and takes her away to protect her from Shadybug and Claw Noir. |
| 595 | * GoodCounterpart: He is the heroic version of Gabriel Agreste/Monarch in the main universe. While both lost their respective Emilies, the Gabriel that became Betterfly never had a StartOfDarkness and accepted her loss, resolving to use the power of the Butterfly Miraculous to help others. |
| 596 | * HopeBringer: As Betterfly, unlike Hawk Moth/Monarch, the good version of Gabriel embodies all the ideals of hope and freedom he stood for to heart. He only uses his powers to kamikotize willing subjects who seek to help others, instead of preying on those with negative emotions and manipulating them into becoming villains. He also encourages Ladybug and Cat Noir when they feel down after losing all the other Miraculouses to his bad counterpart. |
| 597 | * LightIsGood: Similar to his main counterpart, Gabriel wears light colored clothing in his civilian form, however unlike his counterpart, Alternate Gabriel is on the side of good. |
| 598 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: ZigZagged across dimensions! This version of Gabriel shares several traits with the main version of Adrien/Cat Noir. He's compassionate, cooperative and selfless. Basically everything you'd expect if the main universe's Adrien was an adult with the Butterfly instead of the Cat. The DubNameChange even implies a fondness for puns! |
| 599 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Zigzagged even further with his actual son Claw Noir, who used his persona as a means to act out for motives similar to the main universe's Gabriel...only to pull a 180 in the end, revealing a person very like both his counterpart and his father. |
| 600 | * MeaningfulName: Betterfly talks at length about his hope and belief in a better world. His original French dub name, Hesperia, in addition to being a reference to a type of butterfly, also sounds similar to the French word for "hope": ''espoir''. |
| 601 | * ParentalNeglect: For all that he's the GoodCounterpart to Monarch, he still seems to neglect Adrien, as Claw Noir laments that his father spends all his time doing fashion design and doesn't seem to care that Emilie died, showing the two have a strained relationship at best. In a bit of irony, the truth may be that Gabriel is spending his private time fighting The Supreme as Betterfly, often against Claw Noir. |
| 602 | * TragicHero: He decided to become a superhero due to his wife's death by his misuse of the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses. However, this caused him to be pursued relentlessly by The Supreme to retrieve the Miraculous. |

| 605 | [[folder:Ubiquity/Ladybiquity/Ubiquity Noire]] |
| 606 | A young woman with the power to connect with copies of herself in alternate universes and open portals between them. Her true identity is Alya Cesaire and her Kamiko (the good version of an Akuma) is in her glasses.\ |
| 607 | \ |
| 608 | Ladybug is given the same power to counter Monarch when he attempts to travel the multiverse. She has different names depending on which powers she's using in tandem with it. She's Ladybiquity when wielding it in tandem with the Ladybug Miraculous, just Ubiquity when she's not, and Ubiquity Noire when using it in tandem with the Cat Miraculous. The Kamiko is in her Ladybug earrings. |
| 609 | ---- |
| 610 | * AlternateSelf: Zig-zagged. The original Ubiquity is Alya from Shadybug and Claw Noir's universe, but the nature of her powers means she stays in that universe and the prime Alya also gains the power. Betterfly transforms the prime Alya the following times. When Ladybug is given the power, it spreads to all her copies, which she retains control over as the alternate Alya briefly did with her counterpart. |
| 611 | * FightingAcrossTimeAndSpace: While Alya uses the power to connect to a single duplicate and then open portals between them, Ladybug uses the power to spread herself to every version of herself across the multiverse, so every universe Monarch tries to invade has some version of Ubiquity waiting for him (normal Ubiquity when Marinette isn't also using the Ladybug Miraculous, Ladybiquity when she is, and Ubiquity Noire when also using the Cat Miraculous). |
| 612 | * PowerMakesYourHairGrow: Alya's hair doubles in length when granted the power. Ladybug's twintails grow to her knees when using it, and her single, long ponytail as Lady Noire grows to touch the floor. |
| 613 | * ThinkingUpPortals: Alya as Ubiquity is able to transport people across universes through her cape, which opens into a portal that connects two versions of herself. |
| 614 | * TokenGoodTeammate: As this version of Gabriel uses the Butterfly Miraculous for good, Ubiquity and Celesticat are rare examples of it being used to create heroes rather than a VillainOfTheWeek. |

| 620 | ---- |
| 621 | * BlindedByTheLight: The light from his body is so bright that it blinds everyone around them, including their aggressors. Shadybug has to conjure a pair of shades in order to give chase. |
| 622 | * {{Flight}}: His main power is the ability to fly, which he uses to get himself, Ladybug and Betterfly away from Shadybug and Claw Noir. |
| 623 | * GoodCounterpart: Of Cat Blanc. They're both all-white versions of Cat Noir under the effects of the Butterfly Miraculous. But while Cat Blanc was made from Hawk Moth's Akuma and had unlimited destructive power, Celisticat has the power of flight from Betterfly's Kamiko, and is firmly on the side of good. |
| 624 | * GuardianAngel: The central concept of his design and powers, being winged and glowing brilliantly to rescue his allies. |
| 625 | * LightIsGood: He wears white and produces a dazzling light from his body. He's also the result of Betterfly's SuperEmpowering, and as such is as heroic and in control of himself as ever. |
| 626 | * PowerGivesYouWings: His ability to fly manifests as a huge white pair of wings on his back. |
| 627 | * RefusalOfTheCall: Cat Noir initially was understably reluctant to accept this kamikotization until Betterfly reassured him he wasn't a villain. |
| 628 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Betterfly kamikotized him in need of an escape from the battle with Shadybug and Claw Noir. After he serves that purpose in a couple of minutes, Betterfly releases him. |

| 634 | |
| 635 | The villainous version of Marinette Dupain-Cheng from an alternate universe. When she uses the Ladybug Miraculous, she transforms into Shadybug when she was a villain and into Ladybug when she decided to become a hero. |
| 636 | ---- |
| 637 | * AlternateSelf: She's a version of Marinette who was unable to befriend anyone thanks to Chloé, becoming an AntiVillain as a result. |
| 638 | * BoringButPractical: As Shadybug, her Lucky Charm is used to summon weapons or other tools to aid her. She also seems to be intentionally summoning the items she wants, even though Claw Noir mocks her powers as "luck", in contrast to Ladybug summoning random objects that will ultimately save the day. |
| 639 | * CastFromLifespan: She is able to use her full powers as many times as she wants (in contrast to Ladybug, who only gains that skill late into season 5, which is several months later in-universe) despite not being old enough because she's using them for evil, but as a consequence doing so drains her life force. |
| 640 | * DespairEventHorizon: After learning that her and Claw Noir's Miraculous are unable to grant a wish, she breaks down sobbing, remarking that both she and Claw have gone too far for any wish to help them. |
| 641 | * DubNameChange: In the original French dub, she's known as 'Toxinelle' ("Toxic" + "Ladybug" in French). |
| 642 | * EmoTeen: She's Marinette but with a FriendlessBackground and dresses in noticeably darker fashion with makeup. |
| 643 | * FriendlessBackground: Unlike the main timeline, this Marinette never got the chance to befriend anyone thanks to Chloé's bullying. |
| 644 | * GoodCostumeSwitch: Her costume changes colors to resemble Ladybug's after she decides to do good instead of evil. |
| 645 | * IJustWantToBeLoved: Alternate Marinette, as she spent all her life alone and depressed, as shown when she talked with main Sabine, who kindly reassured her when she was upset and much to Marinette's surprise told her she loved her. |
| 646 | * IJustWantToBeYou: After reading Marinette's diary, Shadybug is jealous of her alternate self and hits on the idea of using a wish to swap their lives. She's stopped from doing so by a spell placed on her Tikki and Plagg that blocks their fusion into Gimmi. |
| 647 | * InnocentBlueEyes: Her eyes become their normal blue color when transformed after deciding to become good. |
| 648 | * IResembleThatRemark: When detrasformed and talking to Main Sabine, alternate Marinette tells her that "her" sewing machine was slightly damaged, while seeing in the mirror that she got dark veins in her face for her failed wish attempt. |
| 649 | * KillerYoyo: Has the usual yoyo with the addition of retractable blades. |
| 650 | * MakeupIsEvil: She wears noticeable makeup and is the EvilCounterpart of Ladybug. |
| 651 | * MissingMom: During her MotiveRant to Ladybug she mentions she doesn't have a loving mom (unlike Ladybug), suggesting her mom is either missing or [[ParentalNeglect neglectful]] of her. |
| 652 | * NoHonorAmongThieves: When being Shadybug, Claw Noir accuses her of having tried to steal his Miraculous previously and when learning of the Absolute Miraculous Power, she without a second thought, steals his Miraculous to try to make a wish. |
| 653 | * NonConformistDyedHair: In her civilian form she has one of her bangs dyed dark magenta. In her supervillain form, it turns red while the rest of her hair turns black. |
| 654 | * ObliviousToLove: Marinette never met Adrien personally and is unaware of him having a crush on her. |
| 655 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: As Shadybug, she shares the same palette as Ladybug, but with black as the dominant color to emphasize her villainy. Her hair is also black compared to Marinette's blue. After her GoodCostumeSwitch, most of the black elements are removed, making her mostly resemble Ladybug's default costume. |
| 656 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: In her supervillain form, her eyes turn red. |
| 657 | * SlasherSmile: Has these when attacking Ladybug and Cat Noir with her Lucky Charm weapons when being a supervillain. |
| 658 | * SuperStrength: She demonstrates the strength to kick a car midair at the heroes. |
| 659 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: Despite being technically allies, she and Claw Noir can barely stand each other. That changes (at least on Adrien's side) when they discover each other's identity. |

| 662 | [[folder:Adrien Agreste/Claw Noir]] |
| 663 | !!Claw Noir (Adrien Agreste) |

| 666 | The villainous version of Adrien Agreste from an alternate universe. When he uses the Cat Miraculous, he transforms into Claw Noir. |
| 667 | ---- |
| 668 | * CastFromLifespan: He is able to use his full powers as many times as he wants (in contrast to Cat Noir, who only gains that skill late into season 5, which is several months later in-universe) despite not being old enough because he's using them for evil, but as a consequence doing so drains his life force. |
| 669 | * CompositeCharacter: Personality-wise,he has Movie Adrien's withdrawn tendencies and Félix's initial unscrupulous characterization. Costume-wise, he's basically a combination of Cat Walker (with the green hair and leather outfit, albeit in a more biker-like fashion) and Shadow Noir (what with the purple eyes). |
| 670 | * CrushBlush: Has one when seeing Shadybug detransform into Marinette, despite having being handcuffed by her moments befofe. |
| 671 | * DeliberateInjuryGambit: Claw Noir deliberately forces Cat Noir to hit him in the chest with Cataclysm, being crazy enough not to care about the potential damage so long as it depowers his foe. This leaves a cracked spot on his chest that is eventually cured when Shadybug uses her WorldHealingWave. |
| 672 | * EmoTeen: He's an emo teen due to the loneliness from his lack of peers and strained relationship with his father. |
| 673 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite being the Supreme's enforcer. When he manages to take Cat Noir's Miraculous intending to use it to make a wish to bring their mother back, Cat Noir tells him that making that wish would rob someone else of their mother, which he wouldn't wish on anyone. When faced with this, Claw Noir decides he can't do that to someone else either. |
| 674 | * {{Expy}}: To the version of Adrien from ''WesternAnimation/LadybugAndCatNoirTheMovie'', both being loners who never fully got over their respective mother's death compared to their prime universe version. |
| 675 | * FriendlessBackground: He tells Cat Noir that he doesn't have anyone in his life, as his dad is busy with work all the time and he has no friends to talk to. |
| 676 | * GoodCostumeSwitch: After he decides to do good instead of evil, he changes his costume due to noticing his partner's own change of colors and after Cat Noir tells him he can do it. |
| 677 | * HypocriticalHumor: After Claw Noir destroyed a "Kamiko", he angrily yells at Shadybug to stop being angry. |
| 678 | * InstantChucks: Claw Noir's staff is able to bifurcate and generate bladed ends connected by a cord, turning it into a pair of nunchucks. |
| 679 | * LooksLikeCesare: His civilian form is noticeably paler and gaunter than the main universe's Adrien, with shadowed eyes. |
| 680 | * LovesMyAlterEgo: He gets along badly with Shadybug, but has feelings for Marinette. |
| 681 | * MirrorCharacter: |
| 682 | ** To the prime universe's Monarch, who are both willing to sacrifice others using Gimmi's power to bring their respective Emilies back. Both even purposefully had Cat Noir inflict his Cataclysm on them in a crazy gambit, though Claw Noir got healed in time unlike Monarch. |
| 683 | ** The crush he has on his version of Marinette strongly echoes how Félix initially behaved towards Kagami. |
| 684 | ** To main universe Marinette, as both of them have a crush on someone from their world who is unaware of it and act awkwardly in front of their crushes. |
| 685 | * NoHonorAmongThieves: When letting a falling Shadybug to hit the ground where she apparently faints, Claw Noir moves in to steal her Miraculous, only to have his finger twisted by her. |
| 686 | * MissingMom: He deeply misses his mother and wanted to bring her back after finding out about the combined power of the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses. |
| 687 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Even more so than Cat Noir. He can not only use his power as much as he wants, but summon a huge sphere of destructive energy he claims would be enough to destroy the planet, a display of power Cat Noir has only matched while akumatized. |
| 688 | * PetTheDog: Tries to comfort Shadybug when she broke down in tears after seeing her good counterpart's better life. |
| 689 | * TheQuietOne: He only speaks once as Adrien Agreste when transforming. Averted as Claw Noir, who loves cat puns just as much as his GoodCounterpart. |
| 690 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: He has green and magenta accent colors in his Claw Noir transformation, contrasting Cat Noir's yellow and green. |
| 691 | * SpikesOfVillainy: He's got spikes on his bell and his belt to emphasize his evil as Claw Noir. |
| 692 | * StalkerWithACrush: This Adrien is infatuated with his version of Marinette, having the Gorilla stop by her bakery so he can admire her through the window, but Marinette has never actually met him. |
| 693 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: Despite being technically allies, he and Shadybug can barely stand each other. That changes (at least on his side) when they discover each other's identity. |
