[[folder:Lila Rossi aka Cerise/Future Hawk Moth]]

** Chloé is the type of person who never truly learns her lesson. Just when she starts to feel bad for causing misery and she makes an effort to improve herself, in her next appearance, [[StatusQuoIsGod she goes back to being a bitch]]. In the season 3 finale, Ladybug realizes that Chloé will never stop being a horrible person and kicks her off the team.

* HerOwnWorstEnemy: Chloé's selfishness, warped sense of entitlement, impulsiveness, and inability to learn her lesson are ultimately the biggest reasons she can never be liked by anyone or trusted to be a hero. It was only a matter of time before she fell from grace, earning her status as the most hated person in all of Paris. By the time she is exiled from Paris near the end of the fifth season, Chloé has pretty much lost everything as a result of her self-destructive attitude and actions.

* ToxicFriendInfluence: She's this to Chloé starting in season 4, goading Chloé into meaner, more complex schemes that have the benefit of keeping Lila's hands clean.

* IronicName: "Sans cœur" means heartless or "without a heart" in French, yet she's almost entirely motivated by [[spoiler:her one-sided crush on Gabriel]].

** To Kagami -- Both girls are [[NewTransferStudent transfer students]] with a crush on Adrien, but come from different backgrounds: Lila's being a mystery who is mostly self-sufficient while Kagami is from Japan and under her mother's supervision. Lila is a remorseless ConsummateLiar who manipulates other while [[BitchInSheepsClothing hiding under a saintly facade]], while Kagami is stoic and has trouble making friends, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold but is ultimately good natured and honest]]. Their affections for Adrien are completely opposite. Lila only likes Adrien [[LovingAShadow superficially and drops her affections for him at anytime]] while not using that love as an excuse to get akumatized over him due to thinking that he's not worth it. Kagami genuinely loves Adrien [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe because of seeing his kindness firsthand after their introduction]] and got herself akumatized over being jealous. They also have contrasting views of Marinette/Ladybug; Kagami initially hostile to Marinette before they became good friends once getting to understand each other while Lila despises both Marinette/Ladybug from day one and refused to reconcile. [[spoiler:Finally, both girls acquired a Miraculous: Kagami becoming the Dragon Miraculous hero Ryuko while Lila, intially an akumatized villain posing as a Fox Miraculous holder, obtains the Butterfly Miraculous and takes Gabriel's place as a villain.]]
** To Rose -- Both girls are well liked by the class for their charity work and given sympathy for their medical issues. However, Lila's charity work and medical issues are faked and paraded about to garner adoration and special treatment from others. Rose on the other hand is much more humble about her genuine charity work [[spoiler:and is offended when the class tries to offer her special treatment when it is revealed she suffers from a long-term illness.]] Additionally, both girls have mentioned having connections with Prince Ali, but while Rose has actually met him in person, Lila has not.

** Ultimately, Lila hates Ladybug for giving her an extremely harsh and humiliating ReasonYouSuckSpeech over lying of them being friends in front of Adrien, whose heart she tried to weasel into after she secretly stole the Grimoire from him. Even though Ladybug later apologized, this act was enough to cement Lila's hatred, to the point where she'd willingly throw in her lot to a dangerous terrorist just for a shot at payback. [[spoiler:In "Oni-Chan", Lila, without being akumatized, manipulates the titular villain into attacking Ladybug, and then feigns an injury as a ploy to get Cat Noir away from the fight, leaving Ladybug on her own. Upon realizing the deception, Cat is appalled by just how low Lila will sink to get revenge on Ladybug.]]

** In "Confrontation", she and Chloé gleefully plot to destroy their classmates academic careers and entire futures just to take one last shot at Marinette being expelled. Then after reading Adrien's love declaration to Marinette in his school form, and bearing a grudge on his father for unceremoniously firing her, Lila attempts to ruin his future in an even worse way than she originally planned.

* HateSink: Lila is a [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]], [[ConsummateLiar dishonest]], {{manipulative|Bastard}}, [[NeverMyFault inculpable]], and [[{{Jerkass}} spiteful person]]. The fact that [[spoiler:she willingly lets herself be akumatized and remains in control]] of herself certainly doesn't help. You know she's awful when Marinette says she's worse than [[AlphaBitch Chloé]]. WordOfGod even outright confirms that she's intended to be this trope.[[invoked]]

* LovingAShadow: As much as she's infatuated with Adrien and believes her love for him is genuine, there are hints that this is what Lila's crush on Adrien amounts to-- shallow and superficial. Adrien's [[MrFanservice good-looking]], rich, and popular-- in other words, he's the perfect boyfriend to Lila's eyes. However, when Adrien attempts to befriend her despite knowing about her lying tendencies in "Chameleon" and she mistakes Plagg's secret stash of Camembert as Adrien's in "Oni-Chan", she reacts in anger and disgust respectively. In fact, her first act after being akumatized in "Chameleon" is to take on Adrien's appearance and proceed to commit petty acts in retaliation for him knowing that she's a liar and "Oni-Chan" more or less confirms that Lila's hatred towards Ladybug and desire to see her vanquished takes first priority over her crush on Adrien. She also badmouths Adrien's friends to his father in "Miraculer" and attempts to convince him to let her be his partner by isolating him from all of his friends in "Protection". Compared to the other girls (Marinette and Kagami), Lila's interested in Adrien as an ideal rather than as a person, whereas they fell in love with Adrien mainly because of his honesty and [[NiceGuy kindness]]. [[spoiler:Her infatuation with Adrian ends in "Confrontation" upon seeing he loves Marinette and resolves to make him suffer for it.]]

* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:In "Re-creation", Lila manages to steal the Butterfly Miraculous from Gabriel after entering his base right before he sacrifices his life to save Emilie and Nathalie. Considering how akumatized villains like Timetagger still exist in the future, it's implied Lila keeps it for years and becomes the new BigBad.]]
* DragonWithAnAgenda: In "Revelation", after getting fired by Gabriel as his brand's model, she pretends to still be Monarch's willing ally who wants to help him in his pursuit of stealing Ladybug's and Cat Noir's Miraculous and getting rid of Marinette. But she only wants to steal more info from him in order to use it for her long term plan to steal his Miraculous down the line.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: {{Subverted|Trope}} in regards to Adrien. Lila may have a crush on Adrien, even believing these feelings to be genuine, but her crush is based on an [[LovingAShadow idealized version of Adrien in her mind]] (namely as [[AllTakeAndNoGive the perfect boyfriend who dotes on her and is adored as his "perfect" girlfriend by everyone]]). Lila doesn't have as much genuine affection for Adrien as she believes, and doesn't think twice about how her actions would affect him and his loved ones. In "Oni-Chan", it's revealed her belief in loving him is genuine, but so is her willingness to give up that love for him by eliminating Ladybug despite knowing how much Adrien likes her. But by "Confrontation", she has lost all affection she may have had for him as she plans to ruin his future in an even worse way than she originally planned after reading Adrien's love confession towards Marinette from his school form.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Lila apparently has a policy of never throwing the first punch. She always refrains from harming or causing strife to anyone unless they provoke her first or are otherwise apparent threats, and actually initially tries to avoid conflict with Marinette, with their feud only starting because she wouldn't back down or give in to Lila's sweet-talking.

** The impression she left on Marinette, who saw her as more terrible than Chloé (who tormented Marinette for years). Then she left Chloé, whom she helped placed in a position of political power, to the mercy of an angry mob.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: It's hard not to root for them just a bit when they target, say [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] or [[BitchInSheepsClothing Lila]]. Often, the akumatized villains specifically target them because they wronged them and thus led to their akumatization in the first place, while other times, they just happens to be in the path of their rampage.

* VilerNewVillain: Marinette quickly declares her worse than Chloé, because Chloé is just a DumbBlond who always [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections cries to her daddy to get her out of trouble]], everyone knows this and [[HatedByAll no one likes her]]. Lila is much more clever and devious [[TheSociopath with no restraint whatsoever]], easily able to earn the [[VillainWithGoodPublicity trust and respect of everyone]] and use social manipulation to turn them against those who see through her lies. She also accomplishes much more than Chloé throughout the series, figuring out Gabriel Agreste is Hawk Moth, forming an allience with him, finding out his whole backstory and eventually [[spoiler:stealing his Miraculous.]]

* LivingADoubleLife: It is eventually revealed that even what seems to be true of Lila (that she's the daughter of a frequently-absent diplomat) may not in fact be true, as she has a second "mother" who believes she's doing humanitarian work in Africa and a third one who is deaf. In "Confrontation", it's revealed that her identity as Lila Rossi has been a fake one all this time, as she created it by wearing a wig and contact lenses of different color. Once she's exposed as a liar at College Francois Dupont, she abandons her "Lila Rossi" identity and switches to another look and identity, Cerise Bianca, who has been enrolled at a second school even before Lila got enrolled at Françoise Dupont, as evidenced by the fact that Cerise was already a class rep at the class she was attending. Given the lengths she's known to have gone to, it's not even clear whether Cerise is her "real" identity or just one more mask (though, for what it's worth, she isn't wearing a disguise for it).
* LovedByAll: Almost every student at Collège Françoise Dupont looks up to Lila and can't get enough of her stories. And even though she loses this status at Francois Dupont after being exposed as a malicious liar to everyone in her class in "Confrontation", it's revealed that her second identity, Cerise, is also looked up by all of her classmates at the other school she's enrolled in, as she was chosen to be their class rep as well.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Early in Season 2, it's implied that Chloé needs to be the centre of attention because her [[ParentalAbandonment mother left]] when she was little, and she hasn't had emotional growth since. A seeming throwaway line in "Zombizou" supports this even further: Chloé gets surprisingly defensive when Sabrina mentions her mom. Season 3 onwards displays that Chloé is a mean regardless of her mommy issues. Even Mylène states in "Derision" that Chloé being abandoned by her mom when she was little doesn't justify her constant bullying of Marinette.

* HerosEvilPredecessor: She's this to Zoe, being the previous holder of the Bee Miraculous before betraying the group and joining Hawk Moth, leading to Ladybug expelling her from the team and permanently removing her miraculous. She's extremely bitter upon learning someone else (unknowingly her half-sister) has taken her position as holder of the Bee Miraculous.

* PrivilegedRival: To Marinette, being the rich daughter of the mayor in contrast to Marinette being a baker's daughter. She makes it no secret that she looks down on Marinette for her lower societal status. This also applies to their rivalry over Adrien's affections, as Chloe views a mere "baker girl" as beneath Adrien's standards and herself as a more deserving candidate.

* ReluctantRetiree: She resents her unwanted retirement so much that she even joins Hawk Moth when he offers her "her" Bee Miraculous. As a consequence she loses it for good.

** Ladybug continues to ignore Chloé's offers to help, since using her as hero could risk Chloé being exploited by the villains (which is indeed Hawk Moth's plan). Overtime, Chloé grows more and more frustrated. When Ladybug finally makes it clear that it would be to dangerous for her to become Queen Bee again she alienates her so much that she even rips her photo with Ladybug apart and declares that she doesn't want to play as Ladybug anymore. In the end her anger becomes so great that she betrays Ladybug and joins Hawk Moth.

* SecurityBlanket: Mr Cuddly, her favorite teddy bear. As a child, she used to hug it whenever she felt upset or sad. Even now, the plushie still means a lot to her, though she's understandably embarrassed when her classmates find out.

* SmugSnake: Chloe is a bully and acts very smug when mocking people.

** In "Queen Banana", she breaks off her friendship with Adrien after he reminded her that he can't remain friends with her if she keeps bullying his other friends. As Queen Banana she's ambigously NotBrainwashed. Afterwards she also refuses to keep the Magical Charm from Ladybug that would protect her from Akumas after witnessing Ladybug giving the Bee Miraculous to a new holder (Zoé tricks her later on into accepting the Magical Charm by claiming that it's from their mother).

** In "Deflagration", she once again accepts an Akuma willingly in order to get revenge on her classmates and half sister after her attempt to humiliate and bully Marinette over getting together with Adrien ends up with Zoé standing up against her and herself getting humiliated in front of the whole cafeteria, her willingness to get akumatized leading to Monarch almost winning by allowing him to steal the Miraculous from Alya and Zoé before they can transform.

* {{Troll}}: Chloe's a smug, obnoxious jerk who really enjoys making people mad.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After her FaceHeelTurn in the season 3 finale, Chloé loses the Queen Bee position permanently and finds that since her parents have reconciled, she's stuck in Paris, where most of the people she knows have come to ''despise'' her. In "Queen Banana", Adrien loses his patience with her antics and tells her to apologize to their class, where she angrily renounces their friendship and leaves her with just a single "friend" in Sabrina.

* EmotionSuppression: She expects this from Kagami. She criticizes Kagami for allowing her emotions to control her and even takes away her ring bearing their family's crest as she declares her as a weak disappointment.

Gabriel Agreste's assistant. Completely stoic, with only an occasional display of emotion, she follows his instructions completely, and is typically in charge of Adrien's schedule. She's fully aware of his double-life as Hawk Moth, and helps him out however she can.

During the "Heroes' Day", Nathalie takes up the damaged Peacock Miraculous to protect Gabriel, but it has adverse effects that will have her end up like its previous holder Emilie.

A NewTransferStudent who easily wins everyone over with her (completely untrue) anecdotes of her very exciting life. After Ladybug calls out her lies, she develops a severe grudge against the heroine and becomes a willing ally of Hawk Moth in and out of costume. Later on in the series however it's revealed that she's a con artist with multiple identities and families.

As of "Re-creation" she succeeds Gabriel Agreste as the future Hawk Moth and the next main villain of the show after acquiring the Butterfly Miraculous from him and takes on the alias Iris Verdi.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Lila is very clearly infatuated with Adrien, but even when Adrien's willing to befriend her, he's put off by her pathological lying. After "Oni-Chan", Adrien has seen how low Lila will sink to get revenge on Ladybug, and tells her point-blank that he can't help her as long as she hurts others (using the comparatively lame excuse that she got Nathalie and the Gorilla in trouble).
* AlphaBitch: One of the most popular girls in her class and also one of the meanest, constantly manipulating her classmates. Like the typical alpha girl (and fellow RichBitch Chloé), she also has a shallow interest in the BigManOnCampus and hates the main heroine, who has a crush on him too. She eventually takes over Chloé's old position, though unlike Chloé, Lila [[BitchInSheepsClothing hides her unpleasant nature behind a kind facade]], making her come off as more of a ClassPrincess to her schoolmates in-universe.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: She manipulates people by telling lies about fake injuries or connections to celebrities, but gives absolutely nothing back even if she were in a position to do so.
* AmbiguousSituation: In season 5 it's revealed that she has multiple families which she manipulates at the same time and there's no indication so far on how she managed to do that or why is she doing it exactly.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: She somehow manages to convince three different women that she's their daughter, living different lives under different names, appearances and social-circles that she manages to keep consistent enough to get away with it. Either she's a super-genius capable of talking people into anything, or there's something more going on.
* AnimalMotifs:
** Foxes. In her debut episode, she pretends to be the descendant and present-day wielder of the Fox Miraculous, complete with a fake necklace meant to look like it, and has been akumatized into an EvilKnockoff of the Fox Hero more than once. Depending on the region, [[AsianFoxSpirit Foxes in folklore]] can either be good, evil or [[BlueAndOrangeMorality morally alien]], and while Alya (the true wielder of the Fox Miraculous) represents better qualities associated with foxes (cleverness, resourcefulness, cheeky, etc.), Lila represents [[FoulFox the bad qualities]]; greedy, predatory, [[ConsummateLiar deceitful]], [[CunningLikeAFox cunning]], prone to thievery and mischief, [[FoxyVixen seductive]], and invasive in a way that disrupts the order of things and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates]] people so that [[MadeOutToBeAJerkass everyone distrusts Marinette]].
** [[spoiler:Butterflies starting from season 5 since "Confrontation". Butterflies are considered a symbol of transformation, rebirth, and beauty. This plays in Lila's aliases being a means of reinventing herself as a [[VisualPun social butterfly]], as seen with Lila Rossi and later Cerise Bianca.]]
* ArchEnemy: Alongside Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth, she is this to both Marinette and Ladybug. Holding a very personal grudge against both girls, not realizing they are the same person, and wishing to take the both of them down at all costs. The feeling is mutual on Marinette's side, with Lila being the only character other than Hawk Moth or Chloé capable of making Marinette angry (to the point where Hawk Moth nearly akumatized Marinette herself).
* AscendedExtra: The first two seasons, she only had three appearances. She becomes a major recurring character in Season 3. [[spoiler:And then the new BigBad after acquiring the Butterfly Miraculous.]]
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: For someone who falsely claimed to be related to a vixen superheroine, Lila still greatly resembles a past Fox Pendant wielder shown in the Miraculous tome. Doubly so for [[SignificantGreenEyedRedhead having green eyes and red hair]], as Japanese folk tales often ascribe this appearance to foxes disguised as humans. It's later revealed that Lila (or rather Cerise) has been wearing a wig and colored contact lenses, so it may have been an InvokedTrope on her part.
* AttentionWhore: Lila wows her peers with tales of travels and friendships with celebrities, including Ladybug, the last of which is clearly false. She later expands on that lie to impress Adrien, going so far as to steal his book, buy a replica 'Miraculous', and claim to be a descendant of a superheroine.
* BadActing: [[spoiler:As Hoaxer, when Marinette confronts her as part of a trap, she instead gives a stereotypical speech about how Marinette's words have touched her heart before rejecting the Akuma herself. The problem is that the speech is delivered so calmly and utterly unlike any other Akuma fighting Monarch's control that it sounds completely fake.]]
* BatmanGambit: She manipulates Chloé into helping Gabriel and Tomoe stage a coup in Paris, just to be a position to acquire the latter's laptop.
* TheBarnum: How she cheerfully justifies her actions to Marinette - as she puts it, people ''want'' to hear her BlatantLies.
* BerserkButton: Being called a liar, and anything to do with Ladybug.
** In "Volpina" when Lila confronts Ladybug as the titular villain her MotiveRant was simply, "You called me a liar but when I'm done no one will!"
** In "Heroes Day Part 1: Catalyst", watching Gabriel Agreste calling Volpina a "False Hero" while talking up Ladybug as a true hero was enough to anger Volpina into being evilized again.
** In "Chameleon", when Adrien gently tells her to stop lying, but since he mentions "that time with Ladybug", she flips her lid and storms off, becomes evilized, and her first act is to steal Adrien's appearance.
* BigBad: As of "Re-creation", she becomes the new main villain of the show after seizing the Butterfly Miraculous from Gabriel's basement.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Gabriel, deliberately helping him in his agenda to see her own goal to make Marinette (and Ladybug) suffer. But then Gabriel fires Lila and she plots against him, escalating the conflict between the heroes and Gabriel in the process through her manipulation. [[spoiler:Then he dies and she acquires the Butterfly Miraculous.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Sure, she ''looks'' nice at first, but deep down, she's a lying {{Jerkass}} who doesn't care whom her lies hurt.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: To Lila you're either a doting sycophant who swoons over her every lie, or (if you call her out on her lies, no matter how nicely or gently) you're an enemy she needs to take down at any cost.
* BlatantLies: In an interview with Alya, she says that Ladybug saved her and the two of them became good friends afterwards. Given this, her other amazing stories--traveling a lot, having Jagged Stone write a song about her, going on a plane with Prince Ali--should be taken with a grain of salt.
* BullyingADragon: In "Oni-Chan", she makes the ''terrible'' decision to lie her way into Adrien's home and, when caught by his father, tries to bullshit her way out of trouble. Hawk Moth responds by sending Oni-Chan, one of the deadliest akumas up to that point, after her, and the only reason she survives is because Oni-Chan gets distracted while trying to kill Ladybug. After that point, she makes a point of not antagonizing Gabriel directly, and also makes a point of befriending Oni-Chan's alter-ego, Kagami, on the off-chance that Kagami gets akumatized again.
* BullyingTheDisabled: In "Confrontation", she uses Juleka's speech impediment as a reason for why she should repeat the school year.
* TheBusCameBack: Lila returns to the series in "Catalyst", almost an entire season after her last appearance.
* BoyishShortHair: [[spoiler:Lila's real hair is cut quite short, even shorter than Rose's, presumably so it won't poke out of her wigs.]]
* CelebrityLie: Most of her lies involve being friends with various celebrities such as Jagged Stone, Prince Ali, and even Ladybug.
* ClassRepresentative: She becomes this with Chloé as her deputy in "Revelation" after calling for new class elections to replace Marinette. In "Confrontation", it's revealed that she was already a class rep at the other school she was attending under the name of Cerise.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Not only does she have NoSenseOfPersonalSpace for Adrien, but she can't seem to stand other girls that get close to him. A lot of her nastier acts are towards girls who are close to Adrien, such as Marinette, Kagami, and Chloé. In "Miraculer" she even mentions that Nino's not a good enough friend for him, suggesting that her ire is towards anyone who's close to Adrien, being romantically or platonically.
* CoDragons: Lila is this with [[spoiler:Nathalie Sancoeur]] to Hawk Moth during season 3, as she seems to be his most recurring field agent. [[spoiler:In season 5 she shares the role with [[EvilAllAlong Tomoe Tsurugi]] and Chloé Bourgeois.]]
%%* ColourfulThemeNaming: Her surnames are terms for colors in Italian: Rossi (Red) and Verdi (Green)
* CoolBigSis: Plays this part while babysitting Alya's younger siblings, with Chris even finding her cool due to the lies about herself she tells him.
* ConsummateLiar: Tikki admits she has never seen someone lie so well. However in "Oni-Chan", Lila's habitual lying is so ingrained in her that [[CompulsiveLiar she'll still try to lie to those who already know that she's lying]]. Fittingly, all of Lila's akumatized forms have to do with lying and manipulation: illusions, shapeshifting and hypnosis.
* CunningLinguist: She's surprisingly fluent in French and sign language.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: For all of Lila's cunning intelligence and charisma, Lila's fixation on short-term gratification blinds her to the long-term problems her tall tales create. All of her lies tend to have blatant/serious faults that could easily lead to her being exposed if people paid more attention, or they backfire on her in personal ways, which proves her pride can make her quite tactless and ignorant to how serious the consequences are. Second, she constantly ignores and harasses those who try to genuinely help, like Marinette and Adrien, leaving them disgusted with her egomania and just barely tolerating her existence.
* DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery: At the end of "Ladybug", she claims that she has a rare disease that causes her to lie in order to get Marinette out of trouble after Adrien threatens her. [[TruthInTelevision There actually is]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_lying a mental disorder that causes excessive lying]], but even if she has it ([[AccidentalTruth and probably isn't aware she does]]), the glee she takes in hurting Marinette and Ladybug with her lies eliminates any sympathy it might bring her.
* DisappearedDad: While throughout the show she's shown referring to 3 different women as her "mom", she's never shown referring to any man as her "dad".
* DisproportionateRetribution:
** Swears eternal revenge on Ladybug (and willingly teams up with Hawk Moth to take her down and tries to manipulate Oni-Chan into offing her) for calling her out on her lies and humiliating her in front of Adrien.
** She threatens to completely destroy Marinette's life for trying to get in her way in "Chameleon", and follows through with her threats in "Ladybug", "Adoration" and "Revelation".
** She works with Chloé to get Ms. Bustier fired, simply because the duo were exposed for framing Marinette and their teacher punished them accordingly.
* TheDragon: Lila is very quickly becoming this to Hawk Moth. Whilst every other Akuma villain is manipulated into accepting their power and every one is regretful of their actions whilst akumatized, Lila on the other hand gladly accepts the power offered to her the second time with Hawk Moth, even saying she's gonna await his Akuma's return before he deakumatizes her. More telling than any of this is that Lila seems complicit in helping Hawk Moth ''even when she isn't akumatized''. "Chameleon" cements this, as she not only grabs the Akuma herself, but starts Hawk Moth's villain monologue for him. As of "Oni-Chan", she's working with Gabriel in his civilian identity as well. "Miraculer" and "Ladybug" indicate that Gabriel's using her to cause strife and provide him targets for Akumatization. As of season 5 however, she's the one willing to use Gabriel/Monarch to akumatize other people for her evil schemes, as seen in "Protection" and "Adoration".
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:In "Re-creation", Lila manages to steal the Butterfly Miraculous from Gabriel after entering his base right before he sacrifices his life to save Emilie and Nathalie. Considering how akumatized villains like Timetagger still exist in the future, it's implied Lila keeps it for years and becomes the new BigBad.]]
* DragonWithAnAgenda: In "Revelation", after getting fired by Gabriel as his brand's model, she pretends to still be Monarch's willing ally who wants to help him in his pursuit of stealing Ladybug's and Cat Noir's Miraculous and getting rid of Marinette. But she only wants to steal more info from him in order to use it for her long term plan to steal his Miraculous down the line.
* EngineeredPublicConfession: Lila was tricked by Marinette and Sabrina into confessing her plot to everyone while they listen in secret. After this, she makes an OhCrap face when everyone ''finally'' sees who she really is.
* EntitledToHaveYou: Exploited Type B trope. Lila firmly believes dating Adrien, or her idealized version of him, is a means to rising up the social ladder. While willing to fight anyone else for him, it is only for her personal interest.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: {{Subverted|Trope}} in regards to Adrien. Lila may have a crush on Adrien, even believing these feelings to be genuine, but her crush is based on an [[LovingAShadow idealized version of Adrien in her mind]] (namely as [[AllTakeAndNoGive the perfect boyfriend who dotes on her and is adored as his "perfect" girlfriend by everyone]]). Lila doesn't have as much genuine affection for Adrien as she believes, and doesn't think twice about how her actions would affect him and his loved ones. In "Oni-Chan", it's revealed her belief in loving him is genuine, but so is her willingness to give up that love for him by eliminating Ladybug despite knowing how much Adrien likes her. But by "Confrontation", she has lost all affection she may have had for him as she plans to ruin his future in an even worse way than she originally planned after reading Adrien's love confession towards Marinette from his school form.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Lila apparently has a policy of never throwing the first punch. She always refrains from harming or causing strife to anyone unless they provoke her first or are otherwise apparent threats, and actually initially tries to avoid conflict with Marinette, with their feud only starting because she wouldn't back down or give in to Lila's sweet-talking.
* EvilAllAlong: While "Volpina" made it out to be that Lila, while still a {{Jerkass}}, was just a NewTransferStudent lying for attention who only truly become villainous after Ladybug humiliated her, "Confrontation" reveals that Lila Rossi was all along just a secondary fake identity she used in order to manipulate a second school (and mother), which proves that Lila (or rather Cerise) was a truly vile person even before she crossed paths with Ladybug and started working for Hawk Moth.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: When Adrien gently tries asking her to stop lying to people, she gets mad and believes that Adrien is just being self-righteous.
* EvilCounterpart: To Marinette, Adrien, Alya, Kagami, and Rose.
** To Marinette -- Are good at lying to other people and even used the same lie of being friends with Ladybug. But Lila willfully lies to present herself to others as an important person while Marinette reclutantly lies in order to protect others from her life as a superhero. Furthermore, while Lila claimed to be friends with Prince Ali and Jagged Stone, Marinette actually befriended them as Ladybug with the former and as herself with Jagged.
** To Adrien -- Both are popular students who lied about their relationship with Ladybug, but only Lila is called out on it. But Adrien is a NiceGuy who is secretly Ladybug's ally, is in love with Marinette, and has a desire to live [[IJustWantToBeNormal a normal life]] and [[IJustWantToBeLoved be loved]]. Lila is a ManipulativeBastard who hates Ladybug and Marinette, [[IJustWantToBeSpecial and wants to appear more special than she is]] while [[AttentionWhore getting superficial praise and admiration from people]].
** To Alya -- Both are temperamental {{New Transfer Student}}s who become illusionists with a fox-themed costume. But while Lila lied about her background and being friends with Ladybug with her Akumatized form an imitation of a Fox Miraculous holder, Alya is an actual AmbiguouslyBrown {{Foreign Exchange Student}} who is Ladybug's trusted friend and is a genuine Fox Miraculous holder. Also, Alya becomes a superhero while Lila becomes a supervillain.
** To Kagami -- Both girls are [[NewTransferStudent transfer students]] with a crush on Adrien, but come from different backgrounds: Lila's being a mystery who is mostly self-sufficient while Kagami is from Japan and under her mother's supervision. Lila is a remorseless ConsummateLiar who manipulates other while [[BitchInSheepsClothing hiding under a saintly facade]], while Kagami is stoic and has trouble making friends, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold but is ultimately good natured and honest]]. Their affections for Adrien are completely opposite. Lila only likes Adrien [[LovingAShadow superficially and drops her affections for him at anytime]] while not using that love as an excuse to get akumatized over him due to thinking that he's not worth it. Kagami genuinely loves Adrien [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe because of seeing his kindness firsthand after their introduction]] and got herself akumatized over being jealous. They also have contrasting views of Marinette/Ladybug; Kagami initially hostile to Marinette before they became good friends once getting to understand each other while Lila despises both Marinette/Ladybug from day one and refused to reconcile. [[spoiler:Finally, both girls acquired a Miraculous: Kagami becoming the Dragon Miraculous hero Ryuko while Lila, intially an akumatized villain posing as a Fox Miraculous holder, obtains the Butterfly Miraculous and takes Gabriel's place as a villain.]]
** To Rose -- Both girls are well liked by the class for their charity work and given sympathy for their medical issues. However, Lila's charity work and medical issues are faked and paraded about to garner adoration and special treatment from others. Rose on the other hand is much more humble about her genuine charity work [[spoiler:and is offended when the class tries to offer her special treatment when it is revealed she suffers from a long-term illness.]] Additionally, both girls have mentioned having connections with Prince Ali, but while Rose has actually met him in person, Lila has not.
* EvilIsPetty:
** Ultimately, Lila hates Ladybug for giving her an extremely harsh and humiliating ReasonYouSuckSpeech over lying of them being friends in front of Adrien, whose heart she tried to weasel into after she secretly stole the Grimoire from him. Even though Ladybug later apologized, this act was enough to cement Lila's hatred, to the point where she'd willingly throw in her lot to a dangerous terrorist just for a shot at payback. [[spoiler:In "Oni-Chan", Lila, without being akumatized, manipulates the titular villain into attacking Ladybug, and then feigns an injury as a ploy to get Cat Noir away from the fight, leaving Ladybug on her own. Upon realizing the deception, Cat is appalled by just how low Lila will sink to get revenge on Ladybug.]]
** When Marinette tries confronting her alone in "Chameleon", Lila drops the act and threatens to make Marinette's life miserable if she refuses to accept her friendship by the end of the day. When Marinette remain resolute, Lila vows to make the girl friendless and nearly fulfilled her promise on "Marinette".
** In "Revelation", she tricks her classmates into forcing Marinette out of her position so she and Chloé could be the new class representatives out of spite when there were only a few weeks left in school.
** In "Confrontation", she and Chloé gleefully plot to destroy their classmates academic careers and entire futures just to take one last shot at Marinette being expelled. Then after reading Adrien's love declaration to Marinette in his school form, and bearing a grudge on his father for unceremoniously firing her, Lila attempts to ruin his future in an even worse way than she originally planned.
* EvilerThanThou:
** The impression she left on Marinette, who saw her as more terrible than Chloé (who tormented Marinette for years). Then she left Chloé, whom she helped placed in a position of political power, to the mercy of an angry mob.
** She eventually proves herself as a bigger evil than Gabriel as well after taking the mantle of the BigBad of the show from him after seizing the Butterfly Miraculous in the season 5 finale.
* FaceHeelTurn: While she was never a saint to begin with, she becomes far more evil as the series progresses after her StartOfDarkness, going from ConsummateLiar to TheDragon of the resident BigBad. Subverted by the revelations from late season 5 about her already being a con artist with multiple fake identities and families by the time "Volpina" rolled around.
* FalseFriend: She's this to her other classmates, but especially to Kagami in season 5, who she's constantly setting up to get akumatized. Unfortunately, Kagami's still giving her the benefit of doubt. Also to Chloé, using her as a means to an end before abandoning her to an angry mob once getting what she wanted from their "friendship".
* {{Foil}}: To Chloé, each being an AlphaBitch who [[NeverMyFault refuses to take responsibility for their actions]], attracted to Adrien while bent on making Marinette suffer, and got Akumatized multiple times prior to aligning with Hawk Moth/Monarch. But while Chloé is the daughter of a political figure with her {{Jerkass}} HateSink status out in the open, Lila lied about having diplomats for parents and concealed her true self from their classmates. Furthermore, while Lila hated Ladybug from the start and only [[TookALevelInJerkass got worse]], Chloé idolized Ladybug and tried to be [[TookALevelInKindness a nicer person]] while holding the Bee Miraculous before she relapsed and got worse under Lila's guidance.
* FloralThemeNaming: Her identities are named after flower names in French: Lila and Cerise.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: She claims that she's from Italy.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Unlike all the other VillainOfTheWeek akumatized victims, Ladybug is not able to win her over and she remains hostile, paving the way for Lila's StartOfDarkness.
** In "Timetagger", she's foreshadowed to become Hawk Moth's successor in the future, which is hinted at once again in "Revelation", where she vows to steal Gabriel's Miraculous after obtaining all his secrets. In "Confrontation", after adopting her "Cerise" identity, she started to wear a purple jumpsuit. And in "Re-creation", she acquired the Butterfly Miraculous from Gabriel's basement.
** In "Revelation", Lila pretends to be the daughter of two other women. The following episode reveals that "Lila Rossi" was a false identity she assumed and falls back on another established alias when her credibility in Dupont is ruined.
** In "Oni-Chan", she seemed surprisingly detached over the fact her "mother" would be away at the embassy for a while, and casually lied to Nino about wanting to spend time with her. While this seemed like a case of [[WhenYouComingHomeDad being used to her mother's long absences]], it's revealed that this woman is one of three ladies Lila is conning into thinking she's her daughter, and does not care at all about her being gone.
** In "Volpina", Lila tells Adrien that a girl doesn't need to wear a costume to be amazing. Ironically enough, she herself turns out to be wearing a "costume" in the form of a wig, makeup, and eye contacts in "Confrontation".
* FrameUp: She frames Marinette in multiple episodes of different misdemeanors and even crimes such as cheating on a test, physical assault, theft and faking school forms. The last of which backfired and exposed Lila to the school.
* {{Gaslighting}}: One example of this is in "Revelation" when she convinces the class that Marinette has called her an idiot in order to gain their sympathy and portray Marinette in the wrong. Even Alya falls for it.
* GoneHorriblyRight: While Lila somehow manages to get away with it most of the time, and keep up her "{{nice girl}}" act, her lies sometimes backfire on her.
** In "Chameleon", Lila claims that Ladybug cured her tinnitus and no longer needs a front-row seat to avoid sitting next to Marinette and sitting in the back next to Adrien. But the other students choosing to return to their original seats. Leaving Lila sitting in the back of the class next to Nathaniel.
** In "Miraculous New York", Lila knows that Gabriel does not allow Adrien to join his classmates on their trip to New York. Because she wants to spend that time with Adrien she claims that she is too busy with her [[BlatantLies charity work]]. When unforseen factors cause Gabriel to change his mind and allow Adrien to go after all, it is too late for Lila to backpedal. Now she is the only student who misses the trip.
** In "Risk", Lila pretends she has "ballophobia" to get out of playing dodgeball. Unfortunately for her, Marinette was running late so D'argencourt puts Marinette on Adrien's team which Lila was supposed to be in, and she isn't allowed to join the game due to her "phobia". Subverted when Lila still finds a way to stop Marinette.
** In "Deflagration", Lila incites Chloé to bully Marinette in an attempt to make her back off from Adrien, which leads to Chloé getting akumatized and Lila herself getting transformed into a high-heeled shoe singing praises to Chloé as a result.
* GreenEyedMonster: She's this towards any girl who tries to win Adrien's affections from her, with Gabriel even using this feeling to have her provoke Chloé for an opportunity to akumatize the latter in "Miraculer". She's also an expert in waking up the jealousy of the other girls interested in Adrien, such as Marinette, Kagami and Chloé.
* GreenRooming: Lila is [[LastEpisodeNewCharacter introduced at the end of Season 1 as a new classmate]], with [[BigBad Hawk Moth]] insinuating that unlike other [[MonsterOfTheWeek akumatized victims]], she hasn't gotten over her anger towards Ladybug for humiliating her and may still want revenge, setting her up as a potential antagonist. Although that is eventually addressed in the show, she inexplicably disappears for nearly the entirety of Season 2 with no explanation or acknowledgement of what happened to her after her introductory episode, and it's not until she returns in the Season 2 two-parter finale that it's finally clarified that she's been absent due to skipping school under the guise of being out of the country doing charity work.
* HateSink: Lila is a [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]], [[ConsummateLiar dishonest]], {{manipulative|Bastard}}, [[NeverMyFault inculpable]], and [[{{Jerkass}} spiteful person]]. The fact that [[spoiler:she willingly lets herself be akumatized and remains in control]] of herself certainly doesn't help. You know she's awful when Marinette says she's worse than [[AlphaBitch Chloé]]. WordOfGod even outright confirms that she's intended to be this trope.[[invoked]]
* HeroicLineage: Invoked and subverted. Knowing that Adrien is a fan of Ladybug, she not only tells everyone that she's friends with the titular heroine but that she's actually descended from a fox-themed heroine she sees in Adrien's Miraculous book, which is obviously false.
* HeroicWillpower: Faked. In "Revelation", as a NotBrainwashed akumatized villain, she pretends that the reason she rejected Monarch's Megakuma was Marinette's speech getting through her, but in reality, she only did it cause she already fulfilled her hidden agenda of gaining access to all Gabriel's secrets with her Akuma powers, whcih she plans to use in order to not have to rely on his powers anymore by stealing them herself. Unfortunately, everyone besides Marinette and Adrien falls for it, Alya even using it as an argument for why she's definitely [[NiceGirl a nice girl]].
* {{Hikikomori}}: Became one after her fateful first encounter with Ladybug. She falsely claimed that school was suspended cause of the rampant Akumatizations, and spent the rest of the year making her classmates believe she was abroad. She was actually sitting alone in her bedroom, [[TheResenter seething over her past defeat]] and nurturing her hatred.
* HiddenDepths:
** Lila is occasionally babysitting Nino and Alya's younger siblings, with the kids clearly enjoying themselves under her watch.
** She is a student in Sabine's Chinese painting class and clearly enjoys what she is doing.
** It's shown that she knows sign language, which she uses to speak with her third mother.
* HimeCut: She embodies the RichBitch type of {{Ojou}}. Everyone is captivated by her tales and connections, but she's a skilled liar and thief, and unlike other akumatized victims (including Chloé to some extent), she doesn't learn from her mistakes and rejects Ladybug's apology. [[spoiler:This turns out to be a wig.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** In "Volpina", she tells Adrien that a girl doesn't need to wear a costume to be amazing ... then she proceeds to lie to him about being the descendant of a vixen superheroine from whom she inherited a Miraculous. Once her lies get exposed by Ladybug, she gets akumatized into a vixen "superheroine" with a costume. As a villain, one of her goals is to show Adrien that her claims about being a better superheroine than Ladybug were "true".
** In "Chameleon", she tells Marinette that they don't need to fight over a boy... just to declare war against her over a boy (among the reasons) later in that same episode.
** In "Multiplication", she tells Chloé and the rest of the class that they need to have the will to forgive Ladybug for her mistakes ... even though she's the one who would need to learn that lesson the most.
* HopelessSuitor: Even without Ladybug stepping in, Lila's attempts to get Adrien to like her by lying would've proven futile given his [[SingleTargetSexuality single]] love towards Ladybug. She had a better chance before Adrien realized how big of a liar she is in "Oni-Chan".
* IHaveManyNames: Season 5 reveals that "Lila Rossi" was an alias, and is known as "Cerise Bianca" at another school. Three women are convinced she's their daughter, but what name the third, deaf one knows her by is unknown. The Season 5 finale has her enrolling in Marinette's lycée with "Iris Verdi" as a new alias. Her real name is also unknown.
* InconsistentColoring: She's occasionally shown with tanned skin, which [[PhenotypeStereotype reflects her Italian heritage]]. [[spoiler:A FreezeFrameBonus in "Oni-Chan" shows that Lila has a lot of makeup, mostly consisting of skin tones, indicating that her coloring may be inconsistent InUniverse (due to her makeup wearing off or sloppy application on her part). This is supported when "Cerise" appears with lighter skin.]]
* InvincibleVillain: So far, nothing has stopped her whenever she has made a lie, and all that the heroes can do is stand there and see how she screws them over, and "Timetagger" heavily implies that once everything is said and done she will be the last "villain" still standing, [[DragonAscendant taking the Butterfly Miraculous, becoming the new Hawk Moth, and continuing to terrorize Paris a long time into the future]]. [[spoiler:When she does get exposed in "Confrontation", she just ditches her Lila Rossi identity and goes back to another school under the identity of Cerise Bianca, where people still believe her lies. And in "Re-creation", she acquires the Butterfly Miraculous after Gabriel's defeat, as foreshadowed in "Timetagger".]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Lila lies to be the center of attention and enjoys the praise and adoration that comes from people that she manipulates. She's even willing to endanger Paris and the citizens by assisting a terrorist just to get back at Ladybug for a slight that was partly her own fault. Not to mention her love for Adrien is more invested on her belief he'll be her perfect boyfriend who'll shower her with affection, not caring at all that he might have his own wants and needs.
* {{Jerkass}}: A sneaky and lying girl who refuses to take responsibility for her actions. There is also the fact that she's one of the even fewer people who were akumatized as a result of someone doing the right thing. While Marinette turning into Ladybug to call her out on her lies was excessive and done at least partially for selfish reasons, she was still ultimately in the right, as she showed Adrien that Lila was lying through her teeth to get close to him.
* JerkassAtYourDiscretion: She only shows her true colors when she's alone with those who know how she really is, such as Marinette.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Lila got away with the nastiness she aims at Marinette for the first four seasons since almost everyone believes her lies before the events of "Confrontation", when Marinette and Sabrina secretly team up to expose her. Downplayed and Deconstructed in that Lila has [[IHaveManyNames other aliases to fallback on]] and simply leaves Dupont to escape the karmic backlash.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: She transfers into the class in the first season finale and differs from the non-classmate Akuma victims by not getting an EarlyBirdCameo in the opening. It's also sort-of done in the second season, where she doesn't make her return until the two-part finale.
* LiarRevealed: The reason she gets akumatized in "Volpina" is because Ladybug humiliates her in front of Adrien by calling her out on her BlatantLies. She's eventually revealed to the entire class in "Confrontation".
* LivingADoubleLife: It is eventually revealed that even what seems to be true of Lila (that she's the daughter of a frequently-absent diplomat) may not in fact be true, as she has a second "mother" who believes she's doing humanitarian work in Africa and a third one who is deaf. In "Confrontation", it's revealed that her identity as Lila Rossi has been a fake one all this time, as she created it by wearing a wig and contact lenses of different color. Once she's exposed as a liar at College Francois Dupont, she abandons her "Lila Rossi" identity and switches to another look and identity, Cerise Bianca, who has been enrolled at a second school even before Lila got enrolled at Françoise Dupont, as evidenced by the fact that Cerise was already a class rep at the class she was attending. Given the lengths she's known to have gone to, it's not even clear whether Cerise is her "real" identity or just one more mask (though, for what it's worth, she isn't wearing a disguise for it).
* LovedByAll: Almost every student at Collège Françoise Dupont looks up to Lila and can't get enough of her stories. And even though she loses this status at Francois Dupont after being exposed as a malicious liar to everyone in her class in "Confrontation", it's revealed that her second identity, Cerise, is also looked up by all of her classmates at the other school she's enrolled in, as she was chosen to be their class rep as well.
* LovingAShadow: As much as she's infatuated with Adrien and believes her love for him is genuine, there are hints that this is what Lila's crush on Adrien amounts to-- shallow and superficial. Adrien's [[MrFanservice good-looking]], rich, and popular-- in other words, he's the perfect boyfriend to Lila's eyes. However, when Adrien attempts to befriend her despite knowing about her lying tendencies in "Chameleon" and she mistakes Plagg's secret stash of Camembert as Adrien's in "Oni-Chan", she reacts in anger and disgust respectively. In fact, her first act after being akumatized in "Chameleon" is to take on Adrien's appearance and proceed to commit petty acts in retaliation for him knowing that she's a liar and "Oni-Chan" more or less confirms that Lila's hatred towards Ladybug and desire to see her vanquished takes first priority over her crush on Adrien. She also badmouths Adrien's friends to his father in "Miraculer" and attempts to convince him to let her be his partner by isolating him from all of his friends in "Protection". Compared to the other girls (Marinette and Kagami), Lila's interested in Adrien as an ideal rather than as a person, whereas they fell in love with Adrien mainly because of his honesty and [[NiceGuy kindness]]. [[spoiler:Her infatuation with Adrian ends in "Confrontation" upon seeing he loves Marinette and resolves to make him suffer for it.]]
* TheManBehindTheMan: She becomes this to Chloé in "Collusion" and "Revolution", especially after the latter becomes the new Mayor of Paris after her own dad resigns, Cerise puppeteering her every move from behind the shadows through an earpiece.
* ManipulativeBastard: She can effortlessly manipulate almost anyone to her advantage. She twists her classmates' trust and generosity to turn them against Marinette in "Chameleon", and in "Oni-Chan" even fools Nathalie with some clever wordplay to get into the Agreste Mansion. She then follows this up by managing to convince the titular villain -- who was akumatized specifically to kill her and driven by that sole motivation -- to stop going after her and go after Ladybug instead. In "Protection" she's able to turn one of Marinette's friends against her by projecting her owm real persona onto the latter in order to intentionally cause an Akumatization and have the resulting villain attack Marinette on her behalf. This extends to her akumatized forms, which are based around deception, manipulation and lies: Volpina could create illusions, Chameleon was a shapeshifter and Hoaxer could create illusions and brainwash people to turn against the people she wanted. Taken to egregious levels in season 5 when it's revealed that Lila is a con artist who has multiple fake identities with which she's been manipulating 3 women into believing that she's their daughter and 2 schools all at the same time.
* MasterActor: She is an incredibly charismatic, intelligent, adaptive, and convincing actress who manages to win over almost everybody and keep up her lies over a very long time. [[spoiler:She also acts under false aliases.]]
* MeaningfulName: As Lila Rossi, given name means "beauty" in Arabic and Rossi is a common Italian last name meaning "red". She's a (brownish) red-headed beauty. In the English dub, her first name is pronounced "''Lie''-la" instead of "Lee-la." Given her nonstop lying and gaslighting, Lila may have chosen that name on purpose.
* TheMunchausen: According to Lila she has been pretty much everywhere in the world and is friends with countless celebrities, politicians and important people. Since she is very good with words and also does her research about the stories she tells, everybody believes her.
* MultipleIdentityIDs: She has documentation on at least one of her aliases, Iris Verdi, as that name is not spoken aloud in the Season 5 finale scene where we first learn it.
* MysteriousPast: She talks a ''lot'' about her past, but [[UnreliableNarrator her tendency to lie casts everything in doubt]]. Initially all we knew about her was that she had a diplomat as her mother and that for some reason she recognized a past holder of the Fox Miraculous... [[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals That for some reason looks like an adult Lila]]. The mystery around her only deepens in season 5 when it's revealed that she has multiple families and identities and that Lila Rossi isn't even her real name.
* NeverMyFault:
** Blames Ladybug for humiliating her, even though it wouldn't have happened had she not lied about knowing her.
** She cannot fathom being blamed or called out for her lies, ignoring when she hurts people and doesn't understand why Adrien would be so mad at her for ''hurting his loved ones and getting his friend expelled''. She expects people who do know about her lying to continue to praise her and leave her faultless, and will destroy them if they don't.
* NewTransferStudent: She is the newest student at Marinette and Adrien's school.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Gabriel's staff is very fond of her for this reason.
* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: Upon finding Marinette lying in trash in "Oni-Chan", she mentions that she could take a picture but that it would be just too easy.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: If she's coming after you, she ''will'' destroy you in the swiftest, meanest, and most complete way she can.
* NotBrainwashed:
** After she's reakumatized in "Catalyst", once the Akuma leaves her, she displays signs that, not only did she remember what she did when she was akumatized, she actually ''enjoyed'' using her powers to hurt Ladybug's reputation. Before getting deakumatized, she even promises to wait for Hawk Moth to akumatize her again, implying that her third Akumatization in "Mayura" was also voluntarily from her part.
** In "Chameleon", she ''intentionally'' grabs the Akuma when she sees it, and even starts Hawk Moth's monologue for him.
** In "Revelation", she summons Monarch to akumatize her in order to put in motion a secret scheme to find out all his secrets and use them in order to steal his Miraculous.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Unlike Gina, Lila speaks fluent French/English.
** [[spoiler:Justified due to not actually being Italian.]]
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Ladybug says that she won't have to deal with her anymore after exposing her lies in front of Adrien in "Volpina". She ends up regretting her words in later seasons.
* ObfuscatingDisability: Her lies sink to a new low in "Chameleon", where she pretends to suffer from tinnitus, arthritis, and a sprained wrist just to elicit sympathy from her classmates and take advantage of their kindness.
* OutOfFocus: Only makes background appearances in season 4 until the end of "Penalteam" where she forms an alliance with Chloé.
* PersonalityPowers:
** Her Akumatized forms [[Characters/MiraculousLadybugAkumatizedVillainsSeason1 Volpina]]/[[Characters/MiraculousLadybugAkumatizedVillainsSeason5 Hoaxer]] (MasterOfIllusion) and [[Characters/MiraculousLadybugAkumatizedVillainsSeason3 Chameleon]] (ShapeShifter) have abilities based around deception and manipulation. Best suited for a ConsummateLiar who assumes others' identities and win others over with her lies.
** In "Re-creation", she manages to seize the Butterfly Miraculous from Gabriel's basement. As its previous holder exploited a person's negative emotion to corrupt them into a loyal evil minion, it's an ideal power for a ManipulativeBastard such as Lila.
* PetTheDog:
** In "Timetagger", Lila is willing to babysit Chris, Ella and Etta so that Alya and Nino can go to the movies.
** In "Félix", Lila takes part in Marinette's project to send Adrien some encouraging video messages, despite her hatred of Marinette. After Félix (posing as Adrien) sends them an insulting message right back, Lila relays the video to Gabriel, with the implication that she realized that it wasn't really Adrien.
** In "Evolution", she helps look after the sick Nathalie, despite getting nothing obvious in return.
* PhenotypeStereotype: Lila is Italian, and has [[InconsistentColoring inconsistently]] tanned skin and reddish-brown hair. [[spoiler:Subverted in that she is not actually Italian and was using makeup and a wig.]]
* PsychologicalProjection: In "Protection", Lila tells Kagami that Marinette is a liar, manipulator, and a toxic person who should be avoided, all of which describes Lila to a T.
* PragmaticVillainy:
** Lila doesn't actively go after a person unless they cross her, like when Ladybug exposes her lie about them being friends in front of Adrien. When Marinette tries to expose her lies, even [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse giving her a "peace offer"]] of [[WeCanRuleTogether becoming her friend in ruling over the class]], and only carries out her threat when Gabriel all but pays her for it. But when Gabriel fires her for not holding her end of their bargain, she kills two birds with one stone by Akumatizing herself in a scheme to take Marinette's position as class rep while arming herself with blackmail on Gabriel.
** [[SurroundedByIdiots For how low her opinion on her classmates' intelligence is]], she doesn't cause any strife between them.
** When she has the choice between getting her revenge on Marinette or maintaining her friendship with Adrien for the benefits that came with it, she chooses the latter.
* ProppingUpTheirPatsy: Lila steals the answers for a test, hides them in Marinette's bag and uses an anonymous note to inform the teacher. When the answers are found with Marinette, Lila quickly tries to "defend" her. Marinette immediately realizes what Lila did and accuses her defender which only makes her look even worse.
* PutOnABus: After taking the spotlight in "Volpina", Lila disappears for almost the entirety of Season 2. In her second appearance, it's implied her absence is the result of her becoming [[TheShutIn a shut-in]] after telling everybody at school she was leaving on a trip all around the world. Season 5 implies however that her prolonged absences from seasons 2 and 4 were due to her attending a second school under a different identity called Cerise Bianca.
* RedHerring: She's set up to be the new Fox Miraculous holder and hero long before her episode was released. In the actual episode, she's only an Akuma victim based on the Fox Miraculous holder. At the time, Master Fu still had the Fox Miraculous, and while Marinette does choose someone to wield it, it's not Lila.
* TheReveal: While foreshadowed in the previous episode, "Confrontation" reveals that "Lila Rossi" is only one of [[IHaveManyNames her many identities]], as she casually abandons it upon her duplicitous nature being revealed by Marinette and Sabrina. She is known as "Cerise Bianca" by another group of students from a different school. "Re-creation" reveals she is enrolling at Marinette's lycée with "Iris Verdi" as a new alias.
* {{Sadist}}: She not only enjoys the mental pain she inflicts onto other people (as seen in "Ladybug" where she smiles after seeing all the people she caused to get akumatized), but also the physical pain of others (as seen in "Strikeback" where she smirks upon seeing Nathalie almost collapsing to the floor because of her violent coughing fit).
* SchoolIdol: Lila is extremely popular among her teachers and fellow students.[[spoiler:.. until "Confrontation", when Marinette and Sabrina finally expose her for the selfish, vindictive liar she is.]]
* SeamlessSpontaneousLie: Lila is incredibly talented at creating them and they work everytime (much to Marinette's frustration who always fails to expose her).
* SecretSecretKeeper: Though hinted in previous episodes, "Emotion" reveals she knows Gabriel is behind the villian attacks and manages to keep him in the dark about her knowing his secret.
* ShipperOnDeck: She pretends to be this to Kagami about her relationship with Adrien in "Protection", but it's all just a ruse to turn her against Marinette.
* ShoutOut: Her AnimalMotif, deceptive personality, and subtle influence over Chloé are evocative of Daji, a nine-tailed fox that assumed a false identity and said to have brought out the worst in a king who becomes utterly hated as a result.
* SilverSpoonTroublemaker: Downplayed. One of her "moms" is an Italian ambassador and is an excellent liar who has become an agent of [[BigBad Hawk Moth]] and loves getting Marinette/Ladybug in trouble. Though all of the advantages that she claims as being a diplomat's daughter (like visiting other countries for vacation) have been revealed to be nothing but lies, especially when it's revealed that "Lila Rossi" was just one of her many invented identities.
* SmugSmiler: Lila's most common expression is a sly, devious, and confident smirk.
* SmugSnake: As mentioned above, Lila usually has a smug smile on her face, and she loves to gloat and mock her enemies when she's caused trouble for them.
* SocialClimber: Lila's main goal, besides getting revenge on her enemies, is to become as popular as possible. First, she becomes the most popular girl in school through telling lies and pretending to be kind, then she schemes her way into getting a job as one of Gabriel Agreste's models. She also wants to become Adrien's girlfriend, just because he's rich and famous.
* TheSociopath: Heavily {{implied|Trope}}. Lila ticks most of the qualities off from the list. [[BitchInSheepsClothing She appears as a kind and friendly classmate]] to her peers while she hides her disdain for them, has [[ConsummateLiar no issue lying]] to get what she wants, [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates any situation to her benefit]], [[LackOfEmpathy never feels remorse]] for what she does and to top it all off, [[ItsAllAboutMe she truly thinks she's better than everyone]]. Whenever someone calls her out on her lies, [[NeverMyFault she's incapable on acknowledging her own personal responsibility, blaming others instead]] and will threaten those who stand in her way. That she willingly lets Hawk Moth akumatize her, ''multiple times'', does not help. Even her crush on Adrien is shallow-- she's more invested in how his [[MrFanservice appearance]] and status makes him the ideal, doting boyfriend she desires than the real Adrien and in "Oni-Chan" she's willing to give up her love for Adrien if it means it will get rid of Ladybug for her. Season 5 just adds even more fuel to this trope as her actions were revealed to have taken an even more sociopathic turn than before (such as her using multiple fake identities in order to manipulate multiple families and schools concomitently).
* StalkerWithoutACrush: In "Perfection" it's revealed that she's this to Marinette, as she's shown cutting her head off from pictures she has of her at her home with her family or casually walking down the streets with her friends, pictures she couldn't possibly have if she wasn't either stalking her herself or paying someone else to do it.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Openly works with Gabriel and his various Miraculous forms, but has deduced his secret identity. She deliberately works up an emotional rage against Marinette to throw Gabriel off the trail in "Revelation", and uses the chaos she sows as an akumatized villain to steal more of Gabriel's secrets, using Gabriel's own social network no less. And then in the end of season 5, she claims the Butterfly Miraculous for herself. While she didn't directly kill Gabriel to become the new BigBad, she was certainly planning his demise anyway.]]
* StartOfDarkness: Lila starts out the series as a ConsummateLiar but whose lies are primarily to elevate people's perception of her and to seem interesting and popular. After being humiliated by Ladybug and akumatized for the first time she develops an intense hatred of superheroes, particularly Ladybug. She then, seemingly willingly, plays a key role in Hawk Moth's mass re-Akumatization during the "Heroes' Day" special. In her fourth Akumatization, Lila ''takes the Akuma herself'', clearly willingly aiding Hawk Moth. She then forms an alliance with Gabriel to "protect" Adrien. While she doesn't know (initially) that he is Hawk Moth, she has willingly teamed up with Hawk Moth already and is simply aiding him in his civilian form. [[spoiler:With TheReveal that ''someone'' will eventually succeed Gabriel and take up the mantle of Hawk Moth, it's very possible Lila is only going to get worse as time goes by.]]
** [[spoiler:It pays off in "Re-creation" as, when nobody's looking, she steals the Butterfly Miraculous after Marinette gets it away from Gabriel, and swears to keep coming after Marinette, setting up the future setting of "Timetagger" where it's implied she will akumatize Chris to steal the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses in the past when Marinette and Adrien are weaker and less experienced.]]
** [[spoiler:With "Revelation" showing that she has been conning three different women into thinking she's their daughter it's implied that Lila was awful long before she transferred to Marinette and Adrien's school.]]
* SurroundedByIdiots: Tells Marinette just this: everyone in their class is stupid, with the two of them being the only exceptions. Aside from Marinette, it seems that all the characters TookALevelInDumbass whenever Lila is around.
* TeensAreMonsters: A selfish, dishonest, manipulative, and vindictive teenage girl who is willing to side with a terrorist for the sake of petty revenge before turning on him as well. She even manipulated Chloé, a similar vindictive teen, in order to use her as a sacrifical pawn.
* ThisMeansWar: All it takes is calling her out on her lies for her to swear eternal vengeance. Just ask Ladybug and Marinette. (Yes, they're the same person, but Lila doesn't know that.)
* TokenEvilTeammate: The only member of Marinette's class that was never part of team Miraculous, and in fact has never (since her debut episode) even supported Ladybug. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] a little in that Chloé (who used to be a Ladybug supporter and member of her team, but later grew to hate Ladybug too) isn't exactly a force of good either.
* TookALevelInJerkass:
** She first takes one in "Catalyst" by being pleased with the chaos and fear she caused throughout Paris as Volpina even after being deakumatized, her lack of confusion after the fact implying that she was NotBrainwashed. Her promise to wait for Hawk Moth to give her powers back implies that she also voluntarily akumatized herself in the next episode, "Mayura".
** In "Chameleon", she threatens to ruin Marinette's life if she keeps opposing her, leaving her on the verge of Akumatization. Later she storms off after Adrien tries reasoning with her about her lying habits and when she spots the Akuma that was initially directed towards Marinette, she grabs it to akumatize herself and directly asks Hawk Moth for supervillain powers in order to destroy Ladybug. As Chameleon, [[EvilIsPetty she steals Adrien's form and leaves his unconscious body in a locker]], almost gets a mother and her baby hit by a bus to get Ladybug off her tracks and, after stealing Cat Noir's form, even attempts to use a Cataclysm on Ladybug in order to kill her. At the end of the episode, she threatens Marinette again and promises to make her life a living hell.
** In "Oni-Chan", despite not being the Akuma villain herself, she manages to convince Oni-Chan to get rid of Ladybug instead of her and fakes an injury in order for Cat Noir to carry her to safety and leave Ladybug on her own against the villain. This leaves even Hawk Moth himself impressed and makes him realize that Lila can be a willing ally of his without even needing to be akumatized, which makes him contact her as Gabriel to form an alliance with her in order to use her manipulation skills for his own agenda.
** In "Miraculer", she badmouths Adrien's friends to his father in an attempt to convince him to isolate his son from them, so she could make Adrien dependent solely on her for "friendship". After Gabriel triggers her jealousy over Chloé's childhood friendship with Adrien, she tries to manipulate Chloé into hating Ladybug, potentially in an attempt to purposefully cause her to get akumatized and thus create another villain bent on getting rid of Ladybug.
** In "Ladybug", she [[FrameUp frames Marinette]] for cheating on a test, stealing her necklace and pushing her down the stairs, leading to Marinette being expelled from school and causing her and multiple other people to get briefly akumatized. Adrien needs to outright threaten her in order to make her backtrack her statements and get Marinette unexpelled, but Gabriel still rewards her for her actions by making her a model for his brand alongside his son.
** While she was a rotten person before, she reaches a new low in "Strikeback" when she sadistically smirks at Nathalie while she's suffering from a violent coughing fit.
** In "Perfection" it's revealed that her grudge on Marinette has developed into a full blown obsession, as she's seen cutting Marinette's head off the pictures of her together with her friends and family which she probably obtained by stalking her. She also starts her campaign of trying to isolate Marinette from her friends by manipulating Kagami into thinking that Marinette doesn't genuinely consider her as one of her friends, which ends up making Kagami want to isolate from everyone and vulnerable to Akumatization (and potentially even contemplating suicide before the Megakuma infected her).
** In "Protection", she once again manipulates Kagami to turn her against Marinette in order to purposefully get her akumatized and have her attack Marinette and attempt to ruin her relationship with Adrien on her (and Gabriel's) behalf, even subtly implying to him that he should akumatize her again for this purpose (whom she knows by now that he's Monarch).
** In "Adoration", she purposefully causes another Akumatization by making Chloé unfriend Sabrina for not wanting to take part in their schemes to ruin Marinette's life, which leaves the latter vulnerable to Akumatization. Afterwards she convinces Chloé and Vanisher to work together in order to [[FrameUp frame Marinette]], which almost gets her expelled from school once again.
** In "Revelation" it's shown that she leads two other secret lives, having 3 women considering her as their own daughter and manipulating each one of them to never find out about the other ones. She even goes as far as to take advantage of a deaf woman by convincing her that she's her long lost daughter with whom she just recently reunited. After Gabriel replaces her as the female face of the Agreste's brand with Kagami, she plans a scheme to not only gain her classmates' sympathy in order to replace Marinette as class representative, but also to lure Monarch to akumatize her again in order to use the powers received from him to find out all his secrets and use them to steal his Miraculous later on, with her plan ending up being a big success on both fronts.
** In "Confrontation", she uses her new position as class rep to fake school forms in order to ruin all of her classmates' futures and afterwards pin the blame on Marinette in order to turn all of her friends against her. However, Sabrina finally grows a backbone and with help from Marinette, manages to expose both her and Chloé's evil scheme to all of their other classmates and teachers. This leads to her abandoning this identity, the end of the episode revealing that Lila Rossi has only been a disguise for her created with a wig and contact lenses of different colors and that her second identity, Cerise, has been enrolled at another school all this time, with her essentially taking two different classes at the same time, as Cerise was also chosen for class rep by her class.
** In "Collusion", it's revealed that she has a secret lair in the catacombs of Paris, from which she gives Chloé new orders through an earpiece in order to have her get Marinette expelled from school once again and Miss Bustier fired from her job. Afterwards, she manipulates certain situations in her favor in order to have Gabriel indirectly prompt Chloé's father, André, to resign as the Mayor of Paris and recruit his daughter, Chloé, as a pawn for his plans once again, this time giving her access to an army of robots made by the Tsurugi industry in order to seize the City Hall after her father's resignation and proclaim herself as the new Mayor of Paris. By manipulating both Chloé and Gabriel, Lila/Cerise gains control over the entire city.
** In "Revolution", Cerise orders Chloé to accept Monarch's offer and willingly get akumatized again in order to carry out her own plan, which ends up with her stealing Tomoe's laptop, which she dropped in the confusion created by the mob of people revolting against the akumatized mayor.
** In "Re-creation", she uses the Tusrugi laptop she has stolen previously in order to break into the Agreste's mansion and steal the Butterfly Miraculous from Gabriel's basement, which paves the way to her succeeding him as the next BigBad of the show. She also uses another identity in order to enroll at the high school where Marinette and Adrien will be going.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: She's this to Chloé starting in season 4, goading Chloé into meaner, more complex schemes that have the benefit of keeping Lila's hands clean.
* TranshumanTreachery: Unlike other akumatized villains, by the time of "Catalyst" she is NotBrainwashed and helping Hawk Moth of her own will, while "Chameleon" has her not only willing but snatching the Akuma herself and demanding Hawk Moth akumatize her in exchange for her services. She summons Monarch to akumatize her again in "Revelation", but this time not to help him defeat the heroes, but to betray him and find out all his secrets in order to use them for her own gain.
* {{Troll}}:
** Lila teases Marinette on several occasions (much to her dismay).
** Lila enjoys to manipulate Chloé and to get under her skin. She also tricks her into performing an utterly ridiculous dance to summon Ladybug. When a furious and humiliated Chloé confronts her, she easily convinces her that she was telling the truth and the ritual worked.
* UncannyValleyGirl: Pretty and friendly, alas it's just a front.
* UnderestimatingBadassery:
** For all of Lila's disdain of her classmates, she is as ignorant as they are of Marinette's other self. And even if she ''did'' know, [[GloryHound she]] couldn't understand why Marinette would keep something that she isn't ashamed of a secret.
** She clearly didn't expect Adrien of all people to threaten her and force her to clean up her mess after she got Marinette expelled from school.
** She also underestimated Sabrina and didn't expect her to be able to turn against Chloé and by extension her, and even in the eventuality Sabrina did turn against them, she definitely didn't expect her to be able to expose her lies in front of all of their other classmates and teachers, this arrogance being exactly what Sabrina and Marinette counted on in "Confrontation" when they came up with their plan to expose her for the liar and cheat she is to everyone else.
* UnknownRival: She's plotting against Gabriel as of "Revelation", but he's unware of her actions.
** While Marinette knows her as "Lila Rossi," she doesn't know that was just an alias, or that "Cerise Bianca" and her new classmate "Iris Verdi" are also aliases for the same person, let alone that she's the new Hawk Moth.
* UnwittingPawn: Although she's working with both Gabriel and Hawk Moth, she doesn't seem to know that they're the same person, or that Gabriel's manipulating her into serving Hawk Moth's agenda. Subverted in "Emotion" however when it's revealed that Lila knows (for quite some time already) that Gabriel is Monarch.
* VagueAge: Some of the feats she's pulled off are definitely more than what a 13-15 year old girl (no matter how talented they are at deception) could pull off. While it's hard to tell exactly, there's a very good chance she's older than her classmates. At the very least, she's very likely older than Marinette.
* VilerNewVillain: Marinette quickly declares her worse than Chloé, because Chloé is just a DumbBlond who always [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections cries to her daddy to get her out of trouble]], everyone knows this and [[HatedByAll no one likes her]]. Lila is much more clever and devious [[TheSociopath with no restraint whatsoever]], easily able to earn the [[VillainWithGoodPublicity trust and respect of everyone]] and use social manipulation to turn them against those who see through her lies. She also accomplishes much more than Chloé throughout the series, figuring out Gabriel Agreste is Hawk Moth, forming an allience with him, finding out his whole backstory and eventually [[spoiler:stealing his Miraculous.]]
** [[spoiler:She's also set up to be this to Gabriel Agreste after stealing the Moth Miraculous. Gabriel was [[AbusiveParents a horrible father to Adrien]], his mistreatment of him [[KnightOfCerebus being responsible for many of the more dramatic moments of the show]]. He was incredibly controlling, elitist and narcissistic, treating the people closest to him as pawns, showing distain for anyone in a different class to himself and generally being [[LackOfEmpathy cold and uncaring of everyone around him]]. In spite of all that it was shown deep down that he did still care for his son and for every YankTheDogsChain there was a genuine PetTheDog moment in their relationship. He also cared deeply for Nathalie and although he became abusive towards her near the end, he ended up sacrificing himself to save her life. Similarly although he gave up a chance to save her through TimeTravel in pursuit of power, he did love his wife enough to mourn her for over a year, become a recluse after her coma and refuse to date anyone else because he still loved her. Even if Gabriel's PetTheDog moments were few and far apart, Lila gets [[TheSociopath none to speak off]], she doesn't love her family because the only family she has are people she manipulated into thinking they were her family, she doesn't care for her friends because [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness she see's them as disposable]] and she doesn't really care for Adrien besides superficial psyhical attraction. Comes full-circle in "Re-creation" when she successfully steals the Moth Miraculous and starts paying off the {{Foreshadowing}} that the future Hawk Moth from "Timetagger" is her.]]
* VillainRespect: She genuinely respects Marinette as an intellectual peer, and would actually prefer her as a friend over having her as an enemy. Too bad Marinette hates liars and what Lila would have to do to ''become'' Marinette's friend is practically anathema to her.
* VillainTeamUp:
** With Gabriel Agreste since "Oni-Chan", convincing him to let her work for him as a model while protecting Adrien from bad influences, which Lila naturally uses as an excuse to bully Adrien's other friends like Marinette. But [[DramaticIrony she's unaware of Gabriel's]] ''[[InLoveWithYourCarnage real]]'' [[InLoveWithYourCarnage reason]] [[TheDragon for recruiting her]], through she did became aware of Gabriel's supervillain identity long before the events of "Emotion". But the team-up dissolves in "Revelation" when Gabriel fires her from his brand for not preventing Adrien from falling in love with Marinette, which leads to her vowing revenge on him.
** {{ZigZagg|ingTrope}}ed with Chloé, offering her a partnership in the end of "Penalteam" as they have a common enemy in Marinette and her alter ego. But then "Revolution" happened and she abandoned Chloé [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness once the girl served her purpose]].
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Unlike Chloé, who the other students hate, Lila is so good at lying that everyone in her school thinks she is as impressive and selfless as she says she is. It certainly helps that she is very charismatic and always treats everybody perfectly nicely (at least in public). The only people who can see right past her are Marinette, who tries and fails to expose her at every turn, and Adrien who, while acknowledging that she is a ConsummateLiar, believes that she deserves a chance and will wait for when she becomes honest with everyone. Adrien finally wises up in "Oni-Chan" [[spoiler:when he realizes as Cat Noir that Lila deliberately faked an injury so he'd leave Ladybug alone with the akumatized villain and finally notes just how dangerous and harmful her lies can be. Afterwards he tells her he refuses to associate with her as long as she's willing to hurt the people he cares about]].
* VillainousCrush: Lila clearly has a thing for Adrien, and at the very least, believes that her feelings for him are genuine. In "Oni-Chan", while Lila's PinocchioNose curse doesn't react when she admits her love for Adrien, ''it also'' doesn't react when she tells the titular Akuma villain that the only way she'll give up on Adrien is if Oni-Chan manages to get rid of Ladybug.
* VillainousUnderdog: Despite not having a Miraculous (untill the season 5 finale), she still manages to give Marinette/Ladybug a very hard time by being extremely cunning and charismatic.
* WigDressAccent: "Confrontation" reveals that her identity as Lila Rossi has been a disguise the entire time, created by wearing a long wig, a skin tan, and contact lenses of different colors. By the end of the aforementioned episode, she abandons this disguise and comes back to her original look under the name of Cerise. Her lair has a number of wigs and contacts she uses whenever she needs a disguise.
* WillingChanneler: Ambiguously in "Catalyst" and "Mayura" and most definitely in "Chameleon" and "Revelation". She willingly allows Hawk Moth to akumatize her.
* WithholdingTheirName: In "Miraculous Secrets", it's revealed that her name "Lila" is in fact a lie. This is confirmed in "Confrontation" where she heads to another school where she's known as "Cerise".
* WithUsOrAgainstUs: You either support every little thing she says and does (even if you know she's lying), or you're an enemy she needs to destroy.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: One of her methods is to either fake an injury or to [[PlayingTheVictimCard pretend to be helpless and innocent]] in order to invoke sympathy from others, manipulating others to do what she wants. She plays this card in "Chameleon", effortlessly turning the entire class against Marinette, and "Ladybug", where she pretends to have been pushed down the stairs by Marinette to get her expelled, which also almost gets Marinette akumatized.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: As Cerise, she has amber colored eyes and is still a ManipulativeBastard.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Lila/Cerise's intent with Chloé. Once she served her purpose to enable her to get Tomoe's laptop, she abandons her after Ladybug and Cat Noir removed her as mayor.

->'''Voiced by: Frédérique Marlot (FR), Minae Noji (EN) [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]] Cony Madera (MEX), Marta Altinier (ITA)''' [[/labelnote]]

Kagami's mother. She is the head of Tsurugi Corporation, a tech company that specializes in many highly advanced technological devices. Although she is a blind woman, she is also a talented fencer.

* AbusiveParents: Like Gabriel Agreste, she is emotionally abusive and controlling to her daughter. It's rather telling that in "Ikari Gozen" she claims that ''Gabriel'' is too lenient on his parenting. At the start of "Ikari Gozen" she prevented Kagami from having friends other than Adrien, but didn't even allow Adrien's number to be in Kagami's phone. In "Lies", Kagami reveals that she enjoys drawing, but Tomoe forbids her from doing so, with the stated reason that she isn't good at it and thus shouldn't bother wasting her time. Not only is Kagami actually a good artist, but ''Tomoe is blind''. Unless she has ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}-like hightened senses that allow her to feel the pencil lines on the page with her fingers (though to her credit, it wouldn't really be all that surprising if she did), how the hell would she even know what Kagami's drawings look like?
* AlliterativeName: '''T'''omoe '''T'''surugi.
* BlindPeopleWearSunglasses: Tomoe, a famous BlindWeaponmaster, wears sunglasses over her eyes.
* BlindWeaponmaster: She's a worldwide fencing champion, according to Adrien's web search. Also, her "cane" is a ''shinai'', a practise sword made of bamboo.
* CoolCar: She owns an elegant red-colored car with an auto-drive system named "Tatsu" that only follows her voice-printed commands.
* CultureEqualsCostume: Her outfit resembles with ''{{Miko}}'' white kimono and red hakama.
* CrazyPrepared: In "Pretension", it's shown that Tomoe stored six Alliance Rings inside her car to prepare for incoming akumatization so she can gain more than one Miraculous Superpower. In order to get Kagami from Argos, Tomoe instantly takes all six rings and orders Monarch to akumatize her into Matagi Gozen.
* DoubleStandard: Becomes angry at Gabriel for akumatizing Kagami [[spoiler:into a suicidal Akuma who wants to disappear]] in season 5, while conveniently ignoring the fact that her social isolation of Kagami led to the circumstances necessary for her to be akumatized in that way.
* TheDragon: She replaces Nathalie as Monarch's right hand lady in season 5.
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: She admires UsefulNotes/TomoeGozen, a female warrior who defied her society's restrictions in becoming a samurai, but only pays attention to the perseverance and female warrior parts of her story, and is infuriated when Kagami defies ''her'' restrictions.
* TheEmpath: {{Downplayed}}. While there doesn't appear to be any magical or supernatural reasoning behind it, Tomoe senses Gabriel's discomfort whilst on the train. This could just be chalked up to being particularly perceptive, as Gabriel vocally grimaced, but it's worth noting that Tomoe is ''blind''.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She gets angry at Gabriel after he akumatizes Kagami in "Perfection", specifically because the Megakuma went into her ring. [[spoiler:It's implied from this that Kagami is a sentimonster and that said ring (which is different from the one that got akumatized in "Riposte") contains her Amok, since Tomoe calls Gabriel out on putting her daughter's life at risk]].
* EvilAllAlong: It's revealed in season 5 that she knows that Gabriel is Monarch and is working with him willingly.
* EvilMatriarch: Tomoe is head family of the Tsurugi Clan -- A clan of female samurai descendants-- who wants to train Kagami as her perfect successor by any means and wants to pair her daughter with Gabriel's son to continue their villainous legacy to get the Miraculous and create a perfect world.
* {{Foil}}: To Gabriel - both are extremely controlling parents to their two prodigious children, both excellent fencers. Gabriel is a father to a son, Tomoe is a mother to a daughter. The two appear to be single; Gabriel's wife is in an unspecified coma and Kagami's father is not seen nor mentioned.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: There are several elements foreshadowing her alliance with Hawk Moth:
** Tomoe is a buiseness partner of Gabriel Agreste, who is secretly the BigBad to her [[TheDragon Dragon]]
** She's shown listening to the news in ''Feast'' when [[spoiler:a journalist mentions the reappearance of the temple of the guardians of the miraculous. It's revealed that she wants to steal them two seasons later]].
** The logo of her tech company appears in the opening of season 5, right after a shot of [[BigBad Monarch]].
** We don't see her Akumatization onscreen during either of her first two Akumatizations. This is because it would reveal to the audience that she was in league with Gabriel and (at least the second time) corrupted on purpose.
** Her physical appearance is similar to that of Nathalie. She takes her place as Gabriel's NumberTwo in season 5.
** As said above, she is a foil to ''Gabriel''.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: While Gabriel's goal is clear to get the Miraculous needed to make his wish and revive his wife, Tomoe's are not. At best she's setting up an ArrangedMarriage between her daughter and Gabriel's son.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Her grandfather was a fencer. She herself became a renowned one as an adult. And now Tomoe's daughter, Kagami, is noted to be formidable fencer despite her age.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tomoe is extremely controlling towards her daughter Kagami, as emphasized in "Ikari Gozen". Nevertheless, at the end of the episode, she does relent and allow Kagami to stay with Marinette a little longer.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: At the end of Season 5, Tomoe manages to escape punishment for her crimes helping Gabriel since she wasn't discovered by Ladybug, making her one of the few villains in the season that isn't redeemed or punished for their actions throughout the series. She is now the new owner of his brand and announces her intentions of "continuing his legacy".]]
* {{Magitek}}: Her company designed the Alliance System and Rings to utilize any Miraculous power that Monarch currently has.
* MamaBear: In "Perfection", she attacks [[spoiler:Gabriel after finding out that he sent a Megakuma into her family ring]], which could have endangered her daughter.
* MasterSwordsman: Tomoe is a famous and talented fencer. Even an incredible fighter like Kagami doesn't stand a chance against her mother.
* MyBelovedSmother: Something she has in common with Gabriel, if not ''more so''. She ensures that Kagami is well-trained in their family tradition as fencers, but this has caused her daughter to lack in friends and basic social skills, something that she either is unaware of or does not consider important, believing that just having Adrien is enough for her need for friendship. She openly remarks that Adrien being involved in a public contest is a sign that Gabriel does not have a tight enough grip on him, and when her controlling nature drives Kagami to disobey her and take part in the contest in "Ikari Gozen", this defiance of her authority was enough for her to be akumatized.
* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Her first name is a definite homage to UsefulNotes/TomoeGozen, the most famous example of female samurai in Japanese history. She actually brings up her namesake during her akumatization episode.
* ThePerfectionist: Tomoe strives to make Kagami as her perfect heir to succeed their clan of female samurai and successor to continue her quest to get Ladybug and Cat's Miraculouses to create a perfect world, and pair her with Adrien as a perfect couple.[[SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining This leads Tomoe to constantly train Kagami in ''fencing'' and ''kendo'' during free time, limiting her social life to get a friend so Kagami will always learn everything about their culture, and forbid her to do what Tomoe hasn't approved]]. This ultimately results in [[NoSocialSkills Kagami finding it difficult to show her emotion toward Tomoe or understanding her peers' feelings]].
* PostModernMagik: Her company manufactured the components that allowed Gabriel to render and reforge the Miraculouses other than his own into rings. This allows them to technologically transmit their powers to the people he akumatizes through their own Alliance smart rings.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: She tested the prototype of the ring from which she gained access to the power of the Mouse Miraculous on herself by getting akumatized willingly.
* ShipperOnDeck: "Animaestro" shows that she approves of Kagami and Adrien's relationship. Taken to egregious levels in season 5 when she's shown wanting them to become a couple again and marry each other at any cost.
* SunglassesAtNight: {{Justified|Trope}} since she's blind.
* SuperHearing: As seen in "Intuition", she can hear Gabriel's irregular heartbeat through her screen, her enhanced hearing probably being a result of her blindness.
* WalkingSpoiler: Her role as the new right hand of the BigBad makes her this.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Believes utilizing the Miraculouses would be beneficial to the planet.
* WillingChanneler: She willingly allows Monarch to akumatize her in "Multiplication" in order to test out the Alliance Ring prototype. In "Pretension" she calls Gabriel in order to request him to akumatize her after Argos kidnaps her daughter.
* WouldHurtAChild: In "Pretension", as a NotBrainwashed akumatized villain, she has no problem fighting Argos, whom she knows is a teenager and also tries to paralyze ''her own daughter'' with Venom when she finds her with him.

!Akumatized Villains

[[folder:General]]
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: In general, those who are brainwashed by Hawk Moth have just vague memories and impressions of what they did while akumatized. It's only the ones who [[NotBrainwashed choose of their own free will to side with him]] that remember everything.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Many of these villains have unusual skin colors, with the most frequent skintones being blue or pale purple.
* AmuletOfDependency: Their akumatized object is often transformed with them and [[PowerCrutch becomes the main source of their power]]. The heroes can reliably take out two birds with one stone in deakumatizing someone by disarming a villain of an obvious tool their powers are being channeled through.
* AntagonistAbilities: Many of the villains are shown to be incredibly powerful with a wide variety of superpowers - some capable of toppling the Eiffel Tower with a single blow - on top of the general enhanced strength, speed, and durability. It is especially telling that it takes at least ''two'' Miraculous wielders to defeat ''one'' akumatized villain, and some villains are so powerful that it takes three or more heroes to defeat them. This is in heavy contrast with Ladybug and Cat Noir, whose abilities require quick thinking and skill to [[UnderhandedHero distract and misdirect]] their opponents.
* AntagonistTitle: In the first four seasons, almost all episodes are named after their villains. This is finally dropped in season five.
* ArmiesAreEvil: Many of the villains created have the power to enlist random citizens in their cause, either through [[MindManipulation mind control]] (like with Pharoah, Darkblade, Kung Food, and Simon Says) or through intimidation, (like with Rogercop and Reflekta).
* AxCrazy: Some villains like Stormy Weather or Timebreaker become really deranged after their transformation, and are willing to ''kill innocent people, without any empathy''.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: From a man feeding pigeons in park to a sweet teenage girl with a celebrity crush, most of them are harmless and genuinely nice people before Akumatization.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Many of them possess goofy and saccharine designs and names, [[LethalHarmlessPowers strange and outlandish powers]], and [[DisappointedByTheMotive comedically weak motivations]]. With that said, almost all of them are big enough threats that not only warrant both Ladybug and Cat Noir working together to combat on equal footing, but also cause massive collateral damage in the process.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: All of them ([[spoiler:barring a few very specific [[NotBrainwashed exceptions]]]]), to the point it is basically Hawk Moth's modus operandi. Quite a few are also capable of infecting others, turning them into [[SlaveMooks their minions]].
* TheBusCameBack: The first two seasons set up the series' rogues gallery of villains and as the series progresses, characters who were previously akumatized are either re-akumatized with the same identity or differing powers/personas so that less and less distinct villains appear.
** The Puppeteer, by utilising doll copies, was able to bring back old Akuma villains such as Lady [=Wifi=], The Evillustrator, and Rogercop.
** Taken to the extreme in "Catalyst" when the titular villain grants Hawk Moth the power to create as many Akumas as he wishes, and with the help of Volpina's illusion, it results in no less than twenty seven former villains becoming reakumatized.
** From season 3 onwards, more previous villains are reakumatized, most of the time with upgrades to their powers:
** Mr. Pigeon and Gigantitan become recurring minor villains (with Mr. Pigeon returning as the main villain of an episode in "Mr. Pigeon 72").
** Reflekta returns in "Reflekdoll", this time being assisted by the titular sentimonster.
** Gamer returns in "Gamer 2.0" and abducts almost every person who was akumatized by that point to use their villain personas in a video game battle royale.
** Stormy Weather and The Puppeteer come back in "Stormy Weather 2" and "The Puppeteer 2" respectively.
** Lady [=Wifi=], Reflekta and Princess Fragrance all come back in "Félix" when Hawk Moth akumatizes them as the "Punishers Trio". The three return once more alongside Timebreaker and Horrificator in "Gang of Secrets".
** Hawk Moth almost manages to recreate the events of Heroes' Day when Lila gets Marinette expelled in "Ladybug". Being helped by Catalyst again, he brings back some of his old villains such as Reflekta, Princess Fragrance, Zombizou and The Dark Owl. However, Nathalie's failing health meant Gabriel detransformed almost as soon as everyone was akumatized.
** Lampshaded in "Mr. Pigeon 72". Marinette notes that Shadow Moth targets people he's already akumatized because he understands them better, knows which buttons he needs to press and has "learnt exactly where it hurts [them]".
** The Collector returns in "Gabriel Agreste", Shadow Moth akumatizing a sentimonster of himself this time.
** Malediktator and Reflekta come back in "Mega Leech" and "Guiltrip" respectively, both of them assisted by the titular sentimonsters.
** Captain Hardrock and Guitar Villain come back as the villainous duo Crocoduel in the eponymous episode.
** Style Queen comes back in "Optigami" as a bait villain for Shadow Moth's plan.
** Glaciator and Robostus come back in "Glaciator 2" and "Hack-San" respectively.
** Qilin, Weredad, Bakerix and Befana come back as the villainous group Dearest Family in the eponymous episode. The Collector also makes a brief return in this episode once Gabriel finally manages to break through the Magical Charms.
** Syren and Mime return as minor villains in "Ephemeral". In the same episode, more previous akumatized villains are brought back by Sass' Second Chance from the past, such as Captain Hardrock, Gorizilla and Gamer.
** Rogercop returns as a minor villain in "Kuro Neko".
** In season 5, Gabriel uses the Alliance Rings he gave out to the public in order to transmit Miraculous' powers to some of his old villains and make them more powerful than their initial iterations:
** Ikari Dozen, an upgraded version of Ikari Gozen with the Mouse Miraculous' power, appears in "Multiplication".
** Darker Owl, an upgraded version of The Dark Owl with the Pig Miraculous' power, appears in "Jubilation".
** An upgraded version of The Pharaoh with the Turtle Miraculous' power appears in "Reunion".
** An upgraded version of Glaciator with the Tiger Miraculous' power appears in "Elation".
** Dark Humor, an upgraded version of Dark Cupid with the Monkey Miraculous' power, appears in "Derision".
** Riposte Prime, an upgraded version of Riposte with the Turtle Miraculous' power, appears in "Protection".
** An upgraded version of Vanisher with the Dog Miraculous' power appears in "Adoration".
** Matagi Gozen, an upgraded version of Ikari Gozen with the powers of the Rooster, Bee, Horse, Mouse and Tiger Miraculous, appears in "Pretension".
** An upgraded version of Reflekta with the Tiger Miraculous' power appears in "Confrontation".
** Gabriel re-akumatizes himself into Nightormentor in "Conformation" in order to set in motion his finale plan, this time upgraded not only by the power of the Horse Miraculous, but also by the powers of the Mouse and Rooster Miraculous.
* TheCorruptible: Being on an emotionally vulnerable state is practically a requirement to be akumatized; whether by going through a MomentOfWeakness or just having a bad day, once on this state, Hawk Moth's Akumas will readily corrupt you.
* TheCorrupter: Though rare, a few akumatized villains have the ability to corrupt people into their side as part of their powerset, with the ability itself varying depending on the villain.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Becoming akumatized is the most common way for a minor character to get focus and development.
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: Being akumatized causes the villains to become so hyperfixated on both their revenge, and getting the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous, that they outright ''reject'' being called by their former names.
* DealWithTheDevil: Hawk Moth contacts his victims to offer them the power to right or take revenge for whatever wrong they've suffered in exchange for Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous. Of course, they clearly aren't in their right mind when they make the decision, and it's shown to be near impossible to resist.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Their standard procedure, thanks to Hawk Moth's influence.
-->'''Hawk Moth:''' ''(to Glaciator)'' Since they refused to let you melt their hearts, I'm giving you the power to melt ''their entire bodies'' instead.
* DoNotCallMePaul: An easy way to get on their bad side is by referring to them by their pre-Akumatization names.
* DwindlingParty: Double subverted. Early in season four, Marinette is able to summon and create Magical Charms, items that prevent a person from being akumatized or amokized when worn. This means with every villain's defeat Ladybug can, and has, been providing lasting protection to akuma/amok victims and removing Shadow Moth's ability to recreate his most prolific Akumas. However, late in Season 4 he develops Megakumas that can overpower her charms, rendering them worthless. It's revelead in "Confrontation" however that the Magical Charms can create shields strong enough to repel Megakumas if the people wearing them focus or are encouraged by other people.
* EvilKnockoff: It's possible for someone to be granted the abilities of a miraculous, as seen with Copycat, Volpina and Antibug. Unlike the real deal, they can often use their superpower [[AntagonistAbilities as much as they want]].
* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: Vaguely butterfly-shaped dark marks around their eyes are present in plenty of the designs.
* IconicItem: Whatever object was possessed by the Akuma.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Bubble wand. Umbrella. Book. Weapons made out of food. It's harder to find a villain that uses a typical weapon (such as sword wielding Darkblade).
* KickTheSonOfABitch: It's hard not to root for them just a bit when they target, say [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] or [[BitchInSheepsClothing Lila]]. Often, the akumatized villains specifically target them because they wronged them and thus led to their akumatization in the first place, while other times, they just happens to be in the path of their rampage.
* LogicalWeakness: Because Hawk Moth amplifies their negative emotions, particularly their desire for revenge, they tend to focus more on their revenge than following Hawk Moth's instructions. This often comes back to bite him, provided he doesn't decide to override his minions' control.
* MadLibsCatchphrase: If Ladybug or Cat Noir try to get them to reason by calling them by their old names, expect most of them to reply with some variation over how they are gone, and the villain is here to stay.
* MeaningfulName: Their names are relevant to their motives, abilities, etc. Often also {{punny|name}}.
* MeaningfulRename: Alongside generally [[MeaningfulName being related to their powers or motives in some ways]], a villain's name also serves as a way to separate themselves from their pre-Akumatization selves.
* MomentOfWeakness: Also known as Hawk Moth's favorite time to say, "Hi".
* MonsterOfTheAesop: Occasionally, their akumatized forms are about some sort of central lesson -- Timebreaker is about owning up to your mistakes and being responsible for your own possessions, Horrificator is about standing up to your fears, etc.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Hawk Moth turns a whole bunch of recurring and one-shot characters into akumatized villains over the course of the show
* NearVillainVictory: Many of them came dangerously close to defeating Ladybug and Cat Noir.
* NotBrainwashed: If one accepts an Akuma of their own free will, they remain in full control of themselves while akumatized, and keep their memories after returning to normal.
* OneShotCharacter: While several akumatized villains do appear more than once, some even becoming recurring characters, most of them don't appear after their titular episode.
* PersonalityPowers: They gain powers that are in some way related to the incident in which they were wronged. Aurore lost a chance to be a weather girl and thus becomes Stormy Weather and gains weather powers, Officer Roger becomes the robotic Rogercop after being fired by Mayor Bourgeois, Nathaniel becomes his comic superhero persona after being mocked for it, and so on. However, some akumatized villains have powers more related to the possessed item, like the Bubbler.
* PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: Standard procedure: Hawk Moth gives them powers, and they can (and ''will'') get revenge for a slight, in exchange for the Miraculouses. If the entire city of Paris has to go as collateral damage because of said revenge or the Miraculous holders playing hard to get... well... so be it.
* RecurringElement: Every EvilKnockoff or PowerParasite that's gained access to Lucky Charm has used it to conjure the same gnarly-looking {{BFS}}. More often than not, it's proven less than effective.
* {{Revenge}}: More often then not, getting back at the person that caused their Akumatization is their priority, or they're at least among the targets.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Some villains end up so hyperfixated on getting their revenge that they forget their other, more important deal with Hawk Moth in getting the Miraculous. Even when this isn't the case, though, the heroes have managed to win often by taking advantage of this need for revenge as well.
* SanityHasAdvantages: No akumatized villain is ever created relatively sane, or even focused most of the time. Indeed, the few villains who ''are'' created ''without'' an insane hyperfixation on revenge tend to prove more useful than the rest of their brethren.
* SanitySlippage: Often a side effect of being akumatized.
* ShadowArchetype: Although they are BrainwashedAndCrazy, they still have personality traits and desires of their true selves, but without a moral compass to hold them back. No one has ever been proud of their inner selves being shown to all Paris. Chloé, Lila, Techno-Pirate, and Cash are the main exceptions due to the former two being [[AlphaBitch Alpha Bitches]] and the latter two being criminals, thus they act very similarly.
* StupidEvil: Since all of the villains are BrainwashedAndCrazy via amplifying their more negative attributes, [[SanityHasAdvantages many of them can be distracted and fooled by both Ladybug and Cat Noir and whatever vendetta that led to their Akumatization in the first place]]. Which makes the ones that [[GenreSavvy are dangerous because of their savviness]] (ex. Dark Owl, who still has Mr. Damocles' knowledge of superhero comics) stand out all the more.
* SuperPowersForADay: Goes without saying.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Although the OriginsEpisode reveals that [[GoodPowersBadPeople Akumas are actually meant to be used for creating superheroes]].
* ThatManIsDead: Pretty much the universal reply to being called by their real name. Hawk Moth himself even refers to Akumatization as "becoming someone else".
-->'''Lady Wifi:''' Alya's been disconnected. I'm Lady Wifi.\\
'''Darkblade:''' D'Argencourt was defeated, not Darkblade!\\
'''Dark Cupid:''' I'm not Kim, I'm Dark Cupid!
* TookALevelInBadass: Anyone akumatized by Hawk Moth gets powers that make them more dangerous than their civilian counterparts. Though it's temporary and comes with a price...
* TookALevelInJerkass: This namely, as they lose their moral compass. Along with a chunk of their sanity most of the time.
* TotalitarianUtilitarian: While some of their motivations come across as rather petty and selfish (Stormy Weather trying to destroy Paris with turbulent weather for losing a popularity contest, Darkblade conquering Paris after losing a democratic election, Gamer going after Marinette and converting innocent civilians into energy for losing a spot in a gaming competition) some of the villains actually try and make things better, Hawk Moth using their good intentions as a way of convincing them to work for him (Rogercop enforcing the law and making the Mayor be held accountable for his corruption, Gorizilla wanting to find and protect Adrien, Zombizou wanting to spread love across all of Paris). It is Hawk Moth's corrupting influence and their [[DestructiveSaviour rather questionable methods]] that make them bad guys.
* TheUnfettered: Because they are born from hyper-exaggerating their victims' emotions surrounding random misfortunes, the villains often have strange and simplistic motivations and goals that they nevertheless pursue with insane, single-minded obsession. Timebreaker, for instance, came from Alix' anger at her family heirloom breaking, resulting in Timebreaker wiping out her entire class and commanding great power for no reason other than to fix a watch. This sometimes causes problems for Hawk Moth when what the villain is obsessed with doesn't entirely line up with what he himself wants, as it often results in them being distracted and him having to curtail them.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Many of them have sympathetic motives and/or target characters who seriously deserve some karma, but the fact that they've lost their moral compasses in the process means that they have to be stopped.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Some of them are just ignored after being turned back to normal, especially if they're not recurring characters.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: With {{Revenge}} being the most common motivator behind akumatized villains, the people that get akumatized are sunk to their lowest point before Hawk Moth's corrupting influence latches on, and they will tear the city apart (often literally) to get even with the person who wronged them.
* WouldHitAGirl: Male villains don't hesitate to attack Ladybug or any of the other girl superheroes.
* WouldHurtAChild: Even though the heroes are just teenagers, that won't stop the adult villains from trying to give them a beatdown or even kill them.

!!!'''Akumatized form:''' Techlonizer/Miraclonizer
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/techno_pirate_square.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:''"Wouldn't you rather have an atomic bomb?"'']]
->'''Voiced by: Creator/KellenGoff'''

A tech-themed American villain whom Hawk Moth teams up with.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He has blue skin.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: As Miraclonizer, he possesses the Eagle Miraculous, granting him flight and the power of Liberty, while his appearance gives him the appearance of an American eagle.
* TheBrute: Despite being a tech-themed villain, he seems to veer more into this. He seems to see technology as something to profit off of and it is never said if he has any tech savvy on his own. He is first seen stealing the turbine off of a moving airplane, [[StupidEvil needlessly calling attention to himself and endangering civilians when he could have stolen an inactive plane's turbine]]. When Hawk Moth tells him that he wants Lafayette's sword, he asks why he just can't steal something more impressive like an atomic bomb.
* DelinquentHair: His hair is in a mohawk.
* TheDragon: He serves as this to Hawk Moth in the New York special.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: We know nothing of his past or motives; he's just an American villain who steals technology for no given reason.
* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: He's entirely focused on stealing technology.
* PunnyName: His short name (Mike) sounds like "microchip", fitting for a tech-themed villain.
* TalkLikeAPirate: He does this, as befitting of his name.
* {{Technopath}}: He appears to have a form of this power, which naturally gets enhanced when he's akumatized.
* VillainTeamUp: He performs one with Hawk Moth.
* WouldHurtAChild: He almost caused the plane with Marinette and her classmates to crash.

[[folder: Cash]]
!!!'''Akumatized form:''' King Cash
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unnamed_7_7.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:]]
->'''Voiced by: Creator/CalebYen (EN)'''

A ruthless black market dealer.

* BerserkButton: Getting robbed or duped sends him into a rage.
* TheCameo: He appears in TheStinger of "[[Recap/MiraculousLadybugSP01MiraculousWorldNewYork Miraculous New York]]", engaging in a shady deal in a dark alley.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "A deal's a deal."
* TheFagin: Is this for Fei who has to steal for him.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts friendly and polite when talking to Fei and Marinette, but it's completely insincere. He drops the "affable" act after Fei robs him.
* {{Greed}}: He is obsessed with money. He tried to sell Marinette's earrings back to her for ''500 times'' what he thought they were worth. Hawk Moth is aware of his greed, and uses it, and his anger, to akumatize him. For bonus points, his supervillain name in the original UsefulNotes/{{French|Language}} version translates to "Silver King" or, more colloquially, "Money King".
* HateSink: Cash is a sleazy, heartless criminal who killed a man and threatened to murder two teenage girls, and he has no humorous, sympathetic, or redeeming qualities.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite his actions (which include the murder of Wu Shifu), he managed to escape jail and is still free as of "[[Recap/MiraculousLadybugSP01MiraculousWorldNewYork Miraculous New York]]".
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: He claims to know a lot about antiques and dismisses the Ladybug earrings as "commonplace". Little does he know they're actually a very powerful magical relic. He also calls the Sacred Cave Key a "lousy trinket", when it's the key to getting the Prodigious, ''another'' powerful magical relic.
* MeaningfulName: His name is Cash, and he's as greedy as they come.
* NoNameGiven: {{Implied|Trope}}; "Cash" is presumably not his legal name, since that name cannot be spelled with UsefulNotes/{{Chinese|Language}} characters.
* SmugSmiler: He usually has a smug grin on his face.
* VerbalTic: He sometimes ends his sentences with "baby".
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: He's an arsonist, a murderer, and he has no problems trying to murder children.
* WouldHitAGirl: He sends his thugs to attack Fei and Marinette, and soon after gives Fei a death threat.
* WouldHurtAChild: He has no problem sending his thugs after Fei and Marinette.

[[folder:The Supreme]]
''Voiced by: Creator/Keith Silverstein (EN)"
A villain that rules an alternate universe from the shadows, using nearly every Miraculous to do so.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's never established if he's a human or something else entirely.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: It is unclear if he has any connection to the Order of the Guardians, considering how his symbol looks like an evil version of the Guardians symbol.
* AmbiguousSituation: It is unclear if he's an alternate version of Master Fu, Su-Han, or someone else entirely. It is also unclear if he has a counterpart in the main universe as well.
* BadBoss: He allows Marinette and Adrien to use their powers for evil but neglected to tell them that doing so would slowly destroy them. Also to Plagg and Tikki, as to prevent anyone from using the Absolute Power, he put a magical seal on them, depriving the kwamis from their ability to ''talk''.
* EvilSorceror: Has enough magical knowledge about the Kwamis to put silencing spells on them that persist with new holders. He can even bind Tikki and Plagg from combining into Gimmi, causing them pain and knocking back anyone who tries.
* {{Foil}}: To the Order of the Guardians, as both have a similar symbol (the Supreme's symbol looks like that of the Order of the Guardians, only more angular and crossed out) and give the Miraculouses to certain selected people, but the Supreme only does it to perpetuate his own evil power, while the Order of the Guardians only do it for the good of humanity.
* TheGhost: We never see him, and only hear his voice once in his debut.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the "Miraculous World: Paris" special, as he's the one that granted Shadybug and Claw Noir their Miraculouses in the first place.
* IAmTheNoun: He gives an inversion. "Reality is The Supreme".
* ProperlyParanoid: He placed a spell on his universe's version of the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses to prevent anyone from being able to use a Wish if they found out about it, paranoia that ends up justified when Shadybug tries to do so. He even went so far as to bind the Kwamis' ability to speak so they could never reveal it themselves.
* SigilSpam: His symbol is the closest thing to him being shown, seen surrounding Betterfly near the end of his version of the intro, appearing over the silenced Kwamis' mouths, and surrounding Reverse Marinette as she attempted to summon Gimmi.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: At the end of Season 5, Tomoe manages to escape punishment for her crimes helping Gabriel since she wasn't discovered by Ladybug, making her one of the few villains in the season that isn't redeemed or punished for their actions throughout the series.]]

* EvilMatriarch: Tomoe is head family of Tsurugi Clan — A clan of descendants of female samurais — who wants to train Kagami as her perfect successor by any means and wants to pair her daughter with Gabriel's son to continue their villainous legacy to get the Miraculous and create a perfect world.

** The logo of her family appears in the opening of season 5, right after a shot of [[BigBad Monarch]].

* HiddenAgendaVillain: While Gabriel's goal is clear, get the Miraculous needed to make his wish and revive his wife, Tomoe's are not. At best she's setting up an ArrangedMarriage between her daughter and Gabriel's son.

* ThePerfectionist: Tomoe strives to make Kagami as her perfect heir to succeed their clan of female samurai and successor to continue her quest to get Ladybug and Cat's Miraculouses to create a perfect world, and pair her with Adrien as a perfect couple.[[SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining This leads Tomoe to constantly train Kagami in ''kendo'' during free time, limiting her social life to get a friend so Kagami will always learn everything about their culture, and forbid her to do what Tomoe hasn't approved]]. This ultimately results in [[NoSocialSkills Kagami finding it difficult to show her emotion toward Tomoe or understanding her peers' feelings]].

* {{Foil}}: To the Order of the Guardians, as both have a similar symbol (the Supreme's symbol looks like that of the Order of the Guardians, only crossed out) and give the Miraculouses to certain selected people, but the Supreme only does it to perpetuate his own evil power, while the Order of the Guardians only do it for the good of humanity.

* AllThereInTheScript: Her last name is never mentioned in the show.
