Here is where you can find theories from Miraculous Ladybug about the Kwamis, the Miraculous, and predictions about future holders.
But who possesses these two transformable companions? Is it someone of the cast we have already come to know and if that is the case are they going to Marinette and Adrien's level or newbies? Or perhaps a new member of the cast will arrive and be a holder of one?
- As of Season 1 finale, besides Marinette/Ladybug and Adrien/Cat, the following information is available:
The butterfly kwami is called Nooroo, and his miraculous is currently being used by Hawk Moth.
The turtle kwami is called Wayzz, and his miraculous belongs to Master Fu; Fu doesn't transform anymore, but wears the bracelet and has Wayzz around.
Of the other known miraculouses the fox and the bee ones are kept by Master Fu, and the peacock one is kept by Gabriel Agreste; the associated kwami lie dormant within and haven't been shown yet. - As of 2017, the appearances for the fox, peacock, and bee kwamis (as well as their names-Trixx, Duusu, and Pollen, respectively) have been revealed. It's also been revealed the Alya will be getting the fox Miraculous and Chloé will be getting the bee one in season 2, and that the owner of the peacock Miraculous will be seen in season 3 as a new villain.
- Nooroo
- peaches
- grape juice
- flower petals
- Wayzz
- pickles
- seaweed
- Duusu
- nuts esp. pistachios
- Pollen
- eggs esp. hardboiled
- honey
- Candy, like taffy, caramel, or thin hard candies.
- Trixx
- soya products
- Spicy peppers
- Jossed. As of Season 4 Episode 14 Sentibubbler, it's revealed that Trixx's Power-Up Food are grapes.
Actually, the theory that Tikki and Plagg's food preferences (cookies and cheese respectively) are related to their kwami powers (creation and destruction respectively)note , the other kwamis may have similar food preferences. such as:
- Nooroo, whose powers revolve around empowering others, may prefer high-energy foods. Especially quick energy like caffeine. He might eat straight-up coffee beans, or he might guzzle energy drinks like Red Bull.
- Trixx, whose powers are heavily implies to be illusion-based might prefer foods that have a lot of taste but little real nutritional value (i.e. junk food). Salty foods might also be appropriate as well. I can see her munching on potato chips.
- Wayzz, who is likely to grant powers of protection, might be a health food nut. Lots of fresh vegetables.
- Pollen has the power of subjection and the ability they bestow is called Venom, so maybe she eats things that are common allergens like peanuts or tree nuts. “Poison” to some people, but not necessarily “poisonous.”
- Duusu has the power of “emotion” and can create sentimonsters. Perhaps their favorite foods are “comfort foods” like chocolate or carb heavy foods that often bring people emotional comfort.
- Sass could eat egg-based foods; they are both eaten by snakes and a symbol of rebirth.
- It's also possible his parents quit being heroes when he was too young to remember them being heroes. If Adrien's memories were all suppressed, he should still be somewhat freaked out, but he isn't. Though it could just be that Adrien is a giant fantasy nerd and reacts with interest because he's Genre Savvy.
- This seems unlikely considering the Moth Miraculous's presence hasn't been felt in a long time, and neither Tikki nor Plagg would keep that kind of information quiet. Word of God has it that Adrien is just a nerd who likes anime/manga and video games, so...
- The Miraculouses don't have any sentience to be able to be good or evil by themselves. Only the Kwamis. If Evil Kwamis exist, one of them will be found by a wielder who'll use his/her power for good in contrast to how Hawk Moth uses Nooroo's power for evil.
- Alternatively, kwamis do sense each other's presence but can choose to to not reveal it to their masters. Nooroo kept the location of Plagg and Tikki secret in an act of defiance against being misused, and Plagg and Tikki don't reveal each other's presence out of respect of Marinette's and Adrien's secrecy.
- Jossed. Much simpler, it was a fake.
- It doesn't seem to be a fake? More likely, Plagg can't feel it because it is damaged.
- EDIT: I should explain that peacock feathers are considered bad luck in the Mediterranean and some other Eastern European cultures, despite being considered divine and pure as a whole in Asian cultures.
- Bees apparently represent good luck (usually in that you'll be wealthy) in British/Irish folklore, so if a swarm of bees set up their home near/in yours, or enter your home/ship/whatever, it's considered a sign of good luck. If a bee dies in your home, it's considered bad luck.
- It is considered good luck if you see a lone fox while you're away from your home, but bad luck if you see several and/or the fox(es) are lurking near your home.
- Frogs: The Romans believed a frog in their home would mean good luck. The Chinese also believed it was lucky, as frogs prefer wet environments, meaning that fertility to crops would come soon.
- Albatross: Considered good luck if seen by sailors.
- Beetle: Specifically the Egyptian scarab. Egyptians associated it with luck with the sun, since the desert sun can either be good for crops or can ruin crops. They're also seen as being smart (for, uh, putting their eggs in dung balls dried by the sun, but that probably won't be addressed here) and symbolic for being reborn into a new life.
- Cricket: The Chinese believed its chirps were a sign of harmony in the cricket. If it stops chirping, there's something nearby that has gone wrong, also associating it with protection/guarding. In addition, due to its metamorphosis, it's also associated with rebirth.
- Deer: In Chinese, it is considered lucky because it is symbolic of endurance, grace, longevity, and prosperity.
- In "Ladybug and Cat Noir", someone with deerlike features is shown during Nooroo's explanation at the start. Supposedly they are Cernunnos, a Celtic deity in the real world, and a former Miraculous holder in the show. So there is that, although I don't know of any cultures that see bees, peacocks, and foxes as symbols of good luck, so I'm not sure of the WMG overall, but the deer one may exist, unless Cernunnos is using the Goat Miraculous (which is unlikely given the style of horns).
- Elephant: To the Indians, it is considered a sign of good luck and fortune, turning the animal into a status symbol. It's also said that in depictions, superstition rules that its trunk should be worn upright.
- It's confirmed in "Style Queen" that a Miraculous serves as a power-limiter for a Kwami. Without a master, their powers are incredibly strong and very dangerous. Plagg, being Plagg, is implied to be responsible for the destruction of Atlantis, causing the Tower of Pisa to lean, and the extinction of the dinosaurs. Even him just breathing on the ground is enough to crack it, as seen in "Catalyst".
- Jossed.
- Alternatively, Tikki and Plagg are a Literal Split Personality of an original kwami.
- The second has been Jossed; as of the latest Miraculous Adventures issue, Tikki, as the kwami representing creation, has been revealed as the first in existence.
- Hawk Moth doesn't have ears, anyway.
- Jossed as of "Sapotis" - Rena Rouge is subject to a post-ability countdown just as Ladybug and Cat Noir are.
- Since Hawk Moth was able to grow skilled enough to not worry about timers, the other heroes may also learn how to stay transformed after using their powers in time.
- So it's stated that holding the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses at the same time will allow their wielder to make any wish come true, but that the magic will enact an equal cost. But if you have that level of power, surely you could make another wish to undo or mitigate the cost of the first... unless the nature of the magic is such that you can only use it once.
- It stands to reason that invoking both means that both powers must be used in equal measure. If the wielder's desired result is more one than the other then the rest is released wildly to produce Unintended Consequences likely based on what the wish was meant to accomplish.
- They could be modern incarnations of scrolls incorporated into earlier versions. These would have been written in Chinese, by the guardians at the temple. As modern Parisian teenagers, Marinette and Adrien can be assumed to read and speak French and English, but it has been established that Adrien is learning Chinese, while Marinette may have been taught it by her mother (after, and possibly as a result of, Kung Food). Given Master Fu's accent, they would have reason to suspect a Chinese origin of the Miraculouses even if they couldn't remember anything else at the time, and thus would have had no reason to comment if the manuals were in Chinese.
- Likely jossed as of "Miraculous World: Shanghai", which takes place during Season 3 and Marinette still does not speak Chinese. Even if it takes place before "Oblivio", there does not seem to be enough time for Marinette to learn Chinese.
- Master Fu might have written them some time in the latter half of the 1900s, once digital media was a thing, while he was in France in anticipation of the needs of new users. If so, the manuals would have been written in (at least) English, probably Chinese and French too, and possibly any other languages he knew.
- The kwamis were undoubtedly originally relied on to be the primary teachers of how their Miraculouses worked. It is possible they may have written the content, but they would need someone (such as Master Fu) to upload the writings into the Miraculouses since the kwamis are unable to act independently while their Miraculous is active and manifesting the object the user manual is part of.
- It is possible they were written by Marinette and Adrien, either on their own initiative or at Master Fu's recommendation. In this case, it is likely that only the Bug and Cat Miraculouses have user manuals, until and unless Marinette gets around to writing them for the others (most likely with assistance from the kwamis), and may be French-only (since the entire intended audience consists of Parisians).
- They might be A Form You Are Comfortable With, adjusting to the user, expressing what knowledge the Miraculouses have about themselves (or that the kwamis have). If so, they would by default use the current user's native language - in this case, French.
- "Miraculous World: Shanghai" reveals that the kwamis know all languages. If this is the source of the user manuals, either they use the kawmis' knowledge or this is simply also true of the Miraculouses themselves, for the same reason as the kwamis.
Peacock Miraculous
- Even Plagg? He ignored the book and paid no attention to Adrien asking why the book would place Hawk Moth among heroes?
- Actually, you could interpret his reaction as knowing exactly what the book is and wanting to get it out of there and get Adrien to not think about it and what it could mean. He's pretty rushed and immediately tries to distract Adrien.
- Maybe the powers of the Peacock aren't useful to Gabriel? Plagg also has trouble recognising the book even though Tikki recognises it easily. It's possible Plagg can't recognise them for some reason.
- Backing this up is the fact that the Peacock Miraculous is not the same colour as the background it sits on in the Miraculous Chest like the other outside ones do, and the Peacock Miraculous looking different in the Miraculous Book. Also the fact that Duusu's design does not match with the green peacock pin, which make her an anomaly if it really is the Miraculous.
- There's also the fact that Master Fu doesn't mention that the Peacock Miraculous must be in Hawk Moth's possession when this is true of the Book.
- Considering that the Black Cat, Ladybug, Moth, and Fox Miraculous are more Improvised Weapons than weapons, this doesn't seem likely. Cat Noir's stick is a baton that he can extend to any length he might need. It's shown to be a hand fan (though the fan could theoretically be a Flechette Storm, too) in Mayura's character art.
- Alternatively, looking at Mayura's character art, Mayura is holding a quill in her right hand, and she can write things into reality, but not everything Mayura writes comes true (as Duusu's magic has limits to what it can do).
- Considering Mayura is supposed to be not only a villain, but the Greater-Scope Villain who effectively becomes Hawk Moth's boss by the end of Season 2, this seems unlikely (although certainly not impossible).
- If Mayura is an expert manipulator, it's not so absurd. Also, it's not that the Peacock CAN'T attack, it's that they can't without risk. It would be interesting to see, anyway.
- Alternatively, she could restore any Akuma at will, hence the poster for Hero Day in Season 3 depicts over a dozen Akuma seemingly returning to fight the heroes.
- Hawk Moth's powers are not a once-a-day thing, because "The Collector" happens on exactly the same day as "Volpina".
- She could still theoretically enable creating multiple, simultaneously active Akuma.
- Jossed, but she can create 'minions' for the akumatized villains.
- Duusu might be emotional, but we've never seen that Plagg and Tikki have bad or good luck. If anything, it's Tikki who has the bad luck since she's the one who gets separated from Marinette and she's the one who's been seen by other people on two different occasions and heard on still more. Plagg has never been seen by anyone nor has anyone come close to seeing or hearing him and it's good luck on his part that he can't be seen on video or image or he would be caught.
- The power of the Peacock is to see things as they truly are. Possibly the Peacock grants clairvoyance, or its bearer can see through illusion and disguise, or it grants infrared and x-ray vision, or some combination thereof.
- Jossed. While the theme's name has yet to be confirmed, the Peacock's power seems to be summoning or, to fit with the -ion theme, realization, a person's emotions are realized in the form of a sentimonster.
- This would go with the eye designs on a peacock's feathers, and would cause the seven main Miraculouses (with the exception of the Turtle, which is set apart by being the Guardian's Miraculous), to form a trio of yin/yang pairs: Creation (Ladybug)/Destruction (Cat), Empowerment (Moth)/Subjection (Bee), Illusion (Fox)/ Revelation (Peacock).
- When a kwami uses their powers, it drains their energy. Most kwamis regain energy by eating and resting, just as flesh-and-blood creatures do, but if for some reason Duusu cannot do so (possibly because her Miraculous is "broken"), it's possible that she instead drains her Bearer's energy to replenish her own. So that would explain what happened to Nathalie when she conjured that guardian: She had to pay the energy cost for the magic, instead of Duusu.
- Given that Miraculous seem to be just about indestructible, with only Cataclysm being shown to harm or degrade one, it seems odd that the Peacock Miraculous could be damaged. In addition, it doesn't look damaged when we get a glimpse of it, and its powers still seem to work, just at a hefty cost. So what if the Peacock was one of the first Miraculouses, made when the magi who invented them were still working out all the flaws?
- Le Paon (unlikely but possible)
- Madame Peacock (as Le Paon is female)
- Lady Peacock
- (The/Le) Peacock
- Jossed. Le Paon's name is actually Mayura, which is Hindu for "peacock"
Fox Heroine:
- Volpina (unlikely since that was a villain's name, but possible)
- Vixen (a female fox)
- Foxy
- Rouge Fox/Fox Rouge/Red Renard/Rena Red ("Red Fox" using Cat Noir's naming pattern)
- In French she is Rena Rouge, so one of these might be likely.
- Renarda
- Something similar to the "Rouge Fox" guesses but using specific shades of red, like scarlet.
- Jossed.
The Peacock Miraculous grants the power to take the emotions of others and transmuting them into the form of creatures that embody those feelings called sentimonsters. They seem to just be things made of magic created to do a preprogrammed purpose, but "Ladybug" shows that with enough care and manipulation, the wielder is able to create a sentimonster so life-like that it has a will of its own. Mayura created a replica of Ladybug that did as she commanded as long as she held the object holding the amok (an Eiffel Tower keychain), but when the real Ladybug procured it and gave it to her sentimonster clone, it replayed them by turning against Mayura, proving that while it is a slave to those who weild its object, it has a will of its own.
It is likely that Duusu possesses powers related to the concept of Life, as well as the ability to create life. She can be something of a "lesser god" to Tikki's power over Creation, much in the same way the power of the Snake and Horse miraculous have power to travel through time and space respectively while the Rabbit Miraculous allows others to move through both.
Fox Miraculous
- Jossed.
- It's also possible that they could have a 10-Minute Retirement, like Marinette did in the Origins two-parter. Fu could refuse the Miraculous, saying they deserve it, or Trixx could talk her out of it. Though all things considered, it may not be bad writing if she's given her own Miraculous and has to keep her identity hidden and we see her struggling with her duty to the Ladyblog and her duty as a superhero, so the change is slow but the struggle is shown. If we go with the Lila idea, the Miraculous could be stolen.
- "Sapotis" ends with Alya (despite her reluctance) giving her Miraculous back to Ladybug, though Trixx vouches for her trustworthiness.
- Jossed.
- This would explain why the Fox Pendant apparently grants Master of Illusion powers, since one side of storytelling is the ability to make people see or experience what is not actually happening then and there, and possibly never happened to anyone anywhere.
- This explains why Alya is going to end up partnered with Trixx. She wants to be a reporter, and a reporter is essentially someone who finds true (or mostly true) stories and tells them to others.
- In addition, Stormy Weather demonstrates that Alya has quite a gift for made-up stories as well. And unlike Lila, she seems to know when it's ok to make up stories and when it's not.
- This also explains why the Fox Miraculous's Iconic Item is a flute: Oral stories were traditionally told to musical accompaniment.
- Perhaps they merely used their illusion powers to make the people of Hamelin THINK their children were spirited away to teach them a lesson about what is more valuable than money.
- What has happened to the children is unknown, but Astruc confirmed it.
Just like Marinette and Adrien before her, Alya had to prove that she deserved the Miraculous. When she kept her promise to return it after completing the mission, despite her reluctance, she proved that she's a trustworthy, honorable person, and willing to keep a secret despite her dedication to uncovering the truth. By giving up her power, she proved that she deserves it, so it's possible that she'll become a permanent heroine later on.
Bee Miraculous
- What’s more, if the above theory about the Miraculouses being the Chinese elements is true, The Medic goes beyond symbolism of the animal. Earth associates with nourishment of soil and stability of land. It’s the Team Mom of the five elements, for which healing would be the spot-on Personality Powers.
- This WMG is hilarious considering Chloé is the one you're talking about.
- French: Transform, me!
- Korean: Transform, Bee!
- English: "Pollen, Buzz On!"
- Out of curiosity, why "Buzz On"? We have "[Dark] wings, rise!" and "Claws out!". It doesn't have to end with "on". "Buzz loud/Buzz out" "Stinger's ready?/Stinger's down", since she's called Queen Bee, it could relate to a crown or a tiara. It could relate to the stripes, too. Is it cuz her detransform phrase would be "Buzz off"?
- I'm betting on something to do with stripes, like "Pollen, Stripes On!"
- Confirmed. English phrase is "Buzz On".
- Jossed.
- Jossed. The Bee's power is paralysis.
- Doubtful at this point considering she got it by accident the first time.
- Isn't it stated by Plagg that Ladybug is the only one who can purify akuma?
- Yes... in the context of between Cat Noir and Ladybug.
Turtle Miraculous
- Close, the power is 'Protection'.
- More likely, it's a frisbee to go with the non-weapon theme the others have going for them ( not counting the sword in Hawk Moth's cane that isn't shown in the Miraculous book, thus is likely not part of it normally), but like Cat Noir's baton, it can change size.
- Which still means he could be throwing it Captain America style. I support this.
- Confirmed, complete with 'Captain Turtle' joke.
- Maybe it's wheels. It does seem to be weird convex on both sides of it (that is, it's shaped like two shields pushed together with the round side out. If you look at it, you can't see the dark green edge on Carapace's far side. So the side either doesn't have it, or the tool bubbles out against his back and away from it. And it does seem to have spokes.
- Jossed. It's blatantly a shield.
- Instead, the healing ritual is something Master Fu learned as a Guardian, and any properly trained human (or possibly any human with magical potential, depending on how human magic works) could do it.
- Confirmed. The Turtle's power is 'Protection', not 'Healing'.
- The Turtle will automatically negate one hit from something like Cat Noir's Cataclysm, Dark Cupid's arrows, or Timebreaker's draining touch, but it only works once per transformation and starts the five-minute countdown.
- Jossed.
- If the above guess is wrong and Master Fu's ability to heal kwamis actually does come from his possession of the Turtle Bracelet, then it makes sense that the signature power of the Turtle could be restoring another kwami after they use one of their special abilities.
- Jossed.
Moth Miraculous
- Jossed as of Sandboy. The Miraculous glows when it senses someone who is particularly suited for empowerment.
- Alternatively, the Butterfly Miraculous was designed to create Paladins and right wrongs committed on people. This is why Hawk Moth has to wait for someone to be in emotional distress; it's not so much the emotions, it's that the circumstances need to be the sort that would usually turn the victims into Paladins, and Hawk Moth has to wait for those to corrupt them into villains instead.
- He seems to wait for negative emotions because they're easier to manipulate into evil. He may not have to wait until they're in emotional distress, but he chooses to so he can take advantage of them. Someone who is in a good mood could make a paladin themselves, if they believe in righting whatever wrong deep enough.
- None of that has anything to do with the WMG at hand- the WMG is not who the akuma are meant to go to, but who the Miraculous is meant to go to. Someone who cannot go out and fight because they're disabled.
- He seems to wait for negative emotions because they're easier to manipulate into evil. He may not have to wait until they're in emotional distress, but he chooses to so he can take advantage of them. Someone who is in a good mood could make a paladin themselves, if they believe in righting whatever wrong deep enough.
- Considering that Hawk Moth displays the same kind of physical enhancement as the heroes in Robustus, it's unlikely that the Miraculous is intended for someone with a physical disability. It's just that such a handicap wouldn't be a deal-breaker given its primary power.
All Miraculouses
- First, we have the Ladybug (Creation) and the Black Cat (Destruction). This pairing is very clearly spelled out.
- Then we have the Moth (Empowerment) and the Bee (Subjection). Not spelled out, as such, but both powers are confirmed.
- Finally, a not improbably power for the Peacock would be Revelation, the ability to see what is hidden and see things as they truly are. And if so, that would counterbalance the Fox's powers of Illusion.
By what the opening shows Ladybug and Cat Noir are not alone in their adventures as we see the green and Butterfly kwami flying along with Tikki and Plagg as they reach their Miraclouses along with a few other colors. In the center of the display is of course the spotted insect and black cat's rings of the ear and finger variety belonging to our masked crime-fighting duo. From classic myth we know between the two of them it's a parralel to good luck and bad luck. But where do the others fit in on possibility?Miraculouses in the opening we don't already know:
- Purple/Butterfly Miraculous: This one is theorized to be owned by Hawk Moth due to how their motif is winged insects. The Other Wiki says if Hawk Moth owns this it's probably in the form of a bowtie but to me it looks like a pin. It is also mentioned that the butterfly is a symbol of of transformation, this makes sense because just like a caterpillar emerges as a butterfly Hawk Moth uses his akumas to transform people into villains.(It also seems like a bit of a stretch but I did look up what moths mean and some factors they are associated with include determination, concealment, attraction, shadows, and psychic awareness. So far we have seen the main villain of the show as an individual determined to steal the heroes Miraculouses by attracting someone to become a villain he controls to go through Paris while remaining in that dark room of a lair.)
- Confirmed.
- Green Miraculous: So far rumors are going around that this kwami resembles a turtle in some factors and might belong to a character yet to be revealed known as Master Fu. The destination this fourth and currently final kwami goes to is a bracelet which the animatic for the opening has looking like an Ouroboros, a serpentlike or dragon reptile swallowing its own tail. On the turtle perspective the symbolism can stand for patience, longevity, and protection. If the Ouroboros design in the draft has any importance then it's an eternal cycle, maybe like how every few years the Miraculouses get new owners.
- Confirmed.
- Blue Miraculous-Currently we have yet to see a kwami associated with this section of the Miraculous stand but in its place is what resembles some type of seashell or hand fan.
- Looking at the opening in better details has it look similar to a peacock. Peacocks can be associated with glory, refinement, and incorruptibility, as well as vision (akin to the eye-shaped spots of a peacock's feathers).
- Yellow Miraculous: Similar to the Blue Miraculous we have yet to see an associated kwami. I also can't exactly make out what it's supposed to be. If the animatic is used for a bit of possibility even though it's placed on the opposite side of the display it seems to be a yellow ring with what looks to be a bird head(?)
- The Yellow Miraculous looks like a golden haircomb (the kind you wear on your hair as a decoration). You can see it a bit more clearly if you pause the video just as the box is about to close completely◊.
- The Korean airing of the Birth of Ladybug Part 1 gives us an even better view and it is, indeed, a golden haircomb and it seems to have a bee/wasp motif.
- If this is indeed a bee/wasp they are known for productivity and community. Perhaps how the character page has Chloé's Animal Motif listed as a bee should be kept in mind.
- As of October 2016, CONFIRMED
- The Yellow Miraculous looks like a golden haircomb (the kind you wear on your hair as a decoration). You can see it a bit more clearly if you pause the video just as the box is about to close completely◊.
- Orange Miraculous: The final piece of the display. Just like blue and yellow we don't know what the associated kwami is and not only that, perspective and angle makes it so we can't really get any idea on what the jewelry piece could be. Once again, if we go by the details the animatic show us then this Miraculous is also a ring but with a lion head on it. Given their status as King of the Animals lions are associated with authority, passion, and courage.
- Given the better view given in the Birth of Ladybug Part 1, it seems to look more like a fox tail. There is rumored to be a character called Volpina, so it could be theirs.
- The name "Volpina" does sound similar to the Latin term for foxes. If we are to hold onto this information then this individual if we are to see them is bound to have details of cleverness and adaptability.
- Since "Volpina" has been revealed to be an akuma, and her "miraculous" was clearly shown to be a store-bought piece of jewelry, it's probably safe to assume the real thing is still in Master Fu's possession for now (he was shown to have it in Origins). Whether a real user of that miraculous would look similar to Volpina is not clear, but it does indeed resemble a fox tail, as shown in Gabriel's book.
- Given the better view given in the Birth of Ladybug Part 1, it seems to look more like a fox tail. There is rumored to be a character called Volpina, so it could be theirs.
Where the opening only has seven Miraculouses in total the draft for this showed four more. Whether or not they end up canon or not this is what appearance looks like to me:
- Brown Miraculous: Another ring, looks like a bear head. Bears can be associated with power, benevolence, and motherhood.
- Black and White Miraculous: These are earrings and given their stripes all I can think is "zebra". Zebras are associated with being social and the ability to blend into their surroundings.
- Gray Miraculous: Another ring, looks like a bull head. Bulls are said to be strong and helpful.
- Red Miraculous: Another set of earrings but can't get an ideal species out of it.
- Based on the attire of a previous Miraculous holder in "Origins", the red one is probably meant to be a rooster, being either the comb or its head and comb.
- The Fox pendant is dynamic Fire
- The Bee comb is empathic Earth
- The Turtle bracelet is strong Metal
- The Peacock pin is wise Water
- The Butterfly brooch is generous Wood
- Jossed. The Fox Miraculous is confirmed to have illusions as its power, though only one can be cast before the power-down timer starts. In an interview, Wilfried Pain stated that the Bee Miraculous does have a special attack and a time limit that counts down once used, same as Lucky Charm and Cataclysm.
- Jossed. The Rabbit Miraculous is a pocketwatch and its power is to make a portal to anywhere in time or space.
- Jossed. The Monkey grants the power of Jubilation, which manifests as a bit of chaos.
- There is supposedly a kwami of mathematics. Chickens are weirdly associated with math and counting. Chicken maths, the fact eggs are only sold in factors of 6, "don't count your chickens before they've hatched", also chickens can apparently do basic maths. Orikki's name has a unique number of syllables in it and is unusually long for a kwami (only three of them have six-letter names so far- Nooroo, Orikko, and Daizzi). It seems more likely that Orikko is the Kwami of Mathematics.
- It's probably cloning or making people follow the user.
Other Miraculous Guesses
- Or the story of the Mani Jewels comes from the Miraculous, rather than the Miraculous coming from Mani Jewels.
- The show is animated to match the English dub, hence the Lip Lock in French, so the bit about it being "awkward" isn't very likely, and the English dub isn't the only one that changes up the dialogue for the transformations. We can probably see the transformations at the same time, but they won't say the phrases together, since the show is written with the knowledge that it will be messy in most of the other languages.
- They animate at least two versions, there's a French version and an English version. Not sure if the Lip Lock in French is true, but the Lip Lock in the English version is like that because they base the animation on the temp recording (testing out the script before finalizing it) and then the official voice actors have to Lip Lock to that.
- With the Chinese Zodiac Kwami being confirmed, we know there's a Rooster Kwami and an Ox Kwami, though that's about it of what we know so far.
- In "Sapotis", the twelve Zodiac Miraculouses are revealed in full.
- Those Miraculouses will be given to various people in exchange for getting the Ladybug and Cat Noir Miraculouses (because Hawk Moth still needs those the most and he hasn't gotten them yet) and they'll be far more powerful foes than the akumatized victims ever were. If Hawk Moth is still fully powered, he might also send out akumas at the same time as the villainous Miraculous holders to make the fights all the more difficult.
- Chloé will be one of the people who is given a Miraculous by the villains and she'll act as The Dragon for a while, at least until she discovers Cat Noir's identity and has a Heel–Face Turn because she can't hurt her oldest friend.
The Other Miraculouses
- Libra and Virgo don't even have animals associated to them through their Greek inspirations, Themis and Astraea. Gemini, however, came from Castor and Pollux, who are tied to horses, but there's already a Horse. Virgo is probably an animal associated with femininity and purity, like a deer, a swan, or a dove. Libra could be an orca or a panda- both animals coloured black and white, like yin and yang, thereby getting the "balance" idea of the scales in. Seeing as Gemini can't be a Horse, it could be a Siamese Cat, referencing the idea of "Siamese twins".
- It could well be that the sign of Libra was based on the Tool of a Miraculous from the set, Virgo based on a bearer of a Miraculous from the set, and Gemini based on the powers its Miraculous gives. We do hit another snag with Ophiuchus, though, as it's a snake, but it could be a different kind of snake from Sass, but then again, Ophiuchus is a "new sign", so it's easy to just ignore it.
- Chloé has been noted to have a bee motif, so it would bee appropriate if she were to get the hair comb - assuming she undergoes serious Character Development, that is. As she is now, she'd bee an absolute disaster.
- CONFIRMED
- This meta makes a good case for fox-wielder Alya and well as turtle-wielder Nino. Basically, the Miraculous trigger Character Development in people that need it — klutzy insecure Marinette is given the spirit of creation, allowing her to step up and showcase her responsible leader side, while composed rich kid Adrien is given the spirit of destruction, allowing him to let loose and run a little wild. Nino's youthful energy and anti-authoritarian thread make him a good match for the wisdom and protection of the turtle miraculous, while Alya's drive for truth and justice at all costs could be balanced by a miraculous bearing the powers of secrets and illusions. Having said that, Chloé could fit the bee miraculous, as they're all about diligence and teamwork, something Chloé seriously needs to learn.
- As of October 2016, Fox!Alya has been confirmed by the creators.
- As of August 31, 2017, all three are confirmed
- Nino has been speculated to bee in line for the turtle Miraculous, presumably due to his protective qualities.note And because, well, he's a major character. The problem with this is, what would happen to Master Fu after he gave the bracelet up? Would he die right then?
- Another well-known theory for Nino is that he will get the peacock Miraculous, in part due to his design, which includes a blue shirt with an eye logo. Protection is also a symbol of the peacock, and Nino can be considered a visionary, being talented as a DJ and having enthusiasm for the short film he's directing in "Horrificator".
- Nino has been confirmed to be the future Turtle Miraculous holder by a T Fou promotional video for Season 2.
- A lot of people like to give Nathanaël the fox or peacock Miraculous, partially because he's a fan favorite and partially because he's already shown a desire to be a superhero - he even designed a persona! Granted, it was in the context of daydreaming about Marinette, but still. He was also probably the least evil akuma (until he felt betrayed), promising not to go after the girl responsible for his transformation simply because Marinette asked him not to.
- The problem with anyone getting the peacock Miraculous is, of course, how? It's locked up in Gabriel's safe, so unless Master Fu is secretly a cat burglar, it's doubtful that anyone's going to get it any time soon.
- Alternatively, going off the "Miraculouses respond to the Character Development people need" theory, Juleka seems like a plausible fit for the Peacock Miraculous, considering that the entire reason she got akumatized was because she felt invisible and unnoticed.
- Lila could also undergo Character Development and earn the fox Miraculous. She got quite a bit of characterization for a one-shot villain, and it would make Volpina quite ironic.
- This one seems to have been Jossed: Alya will be getting the Fox Miraculous, so this particular one seems unlikely.
- Sabrina might be a possible owner for the moth Miraculous after Hawk Moth is defeated. Her outfit has a lot of purple, she already wears a bow tie — the form of the moth Miraculous when it's transformed — and she lines up with the butterfly/moth's theme of transformation, as she could learn to be more confident and make new friends outside of Chloé. Additionally, she and Nooroo have a lot in common personality-wise, so they could make a good team together.
- Along the lines of this theory, it's possible that she'll try to make Sabrina her sidekick. Of course, since Sabrina doesn't have a Miraculous, she's completely unable to keep up, eventually causing her to abandon Chloé. This could be one of the things that triggers Chloé to finally pull herself back into the fight.
- She'll probably try to buy a Miraculous for Sabrina.
- Chloé will finally learn she's not so loved as she thinks. Not knowing it's her, Ladybug and/or Cat Noir will say how likely it's her fault the Monster of the Week got akumatized and bring up other occasions it was her fault. Also, her own kwami will have a headache trying to be The Conscience for her like Tikki is for Marinette.
- According to the official synopsis for "The Queen's Battle", "Ladybug is getting ready to call on a new superhero to help her, but she loses the Miraculous she wants to entrust to them..." This statement lends credence to this theory.
- Pretty much, yes.
- Counterargument: Lady Butterfly doesn't have Hawk Moth's brooch.
- Thank you for giving me the hilarious mental image of an entire class worth of heroes, all trying to hide their identities from each other, and, when something finally leaks out, them all going "OK, is anyone here NOT a superhero?"
- As of Penalteam, every student in Ms. Bustier's class except Lila has been given a Miraculous at some point, as have Marc and Zoé.
- Confirmed. The first thing she does after getting the Bee Miraculous is to scream at the top of her lungs that she's Queen Bee.
- The Goat/Ram:
- Either Luka or Juleka: Goats are often associated with metal music.
- Jossed. Luka gets the Snake Miraculous, while Juleka gets the Tiger Miraculous.
- Marc: The Miraculous is black and white, which mirrors his color scheme as Reverser.
- Jossed. He actually gets the Rooster Miraculous.
- Either Luka or Juleka: Goats are often associated with metal music.
- The Snake:
- Kagami: She has a reputation as an Ice Queen. Snakes are cold-blooded, and Sass seems level-headed enough to work with her.
- So far, jossed. She got the Dragon.
- Lila: Sass came off as a bit Ambiguously Evil, and snakes are often associated with villainous characters. She will either steal the Miraculous, or Sass tricks Master Fu into letting her use it.
- Luka: Sass is calm and relaxed, and snakes are often associated with playful personalities.
- TOTALLY CALLED IT!
- Kagami: She has a reputation as an Ice Queen. Snakes are cold-blooded, and Sass seems level-headed enough to work with her.
- The Horse:
- Kim: Horses are known for their use in athletics, and Kim is a Jock.
- Jossed. Kim will get the Monkey Miraculous.
- Max: Kaalki, the horse kwami, is shown to be very formal and seems rather intelligent, similar to Max’s personality. And as a competitive gamer, Max matches up with horses being used in many competitions.
- Confirmed.
- Kim: Horses are known for their use in athletics, and Kim is a Jock.
- The Pig:
- Rose: The kwami's name is Daizzi. That seems like an obvious setup for Floral Theme Naming.
- Adding onto this, in the Season 2/3 intro, one of Rose’s images shows her with a pig snout and ears. This could be foreshadowing, considering it was the same for Alix as Bunnyx
- Confirmed.
- Rose: The kwami's name is Daizzi. That seems like an obvious setup for Floral Theme Naming.
- The Rat/Mouse:
- Mylène: As with Rose, if we go by the Season 2-3 intro, Mylène is photoshopped with mice ears and a nose. Mice are also associated with fear, which was Mylène’s main conflict when she was akumatized.
- Confirmed.

- The Dog:
- Sabrina: She has an Undying Loyalty to Chloé, and dogs are known for their loyalty.
- Confirmed by early spoilers for Penalteam.
- Sabrina: She has an Undying Loyalty to Chloé, and dogs are known for their loyalty.
- The Tiger:
- Juleka: Juleka could benefit the most from the Tiger, it being a symbol of fierceness and confidence. Furthermore, the Tiger Miraculous appears to be a bangle you wear on the back of your hand, almost identical to Juleka’s wrist mirror.
- Confirmed.

- The Monkey:
- Confirmed to be Kim, who will use it to become King Monkey.
- The Rooster:
- Nathaniel: Nathaniel’s bright red hair, especially as Evillustrator, looks similar to a rooster’s comb. Also, Nathaniel both matches (Vibrancy; his artistic talent) and contrasts (Flamboyance and Confidence; something he needs) the Rooster’s symbolism, a recurring theme seen in the other selected heroes.
- Jossed; he gets the Goat Miraculous instead.

- The Rabbit:
- Alix: Rabbits are associated with speed, and Alix prefers to move very fast.
- Confirmed.
- Alix: Rabbits are associated with speed, and Alix prefers to move very fast.
- The Ox:
- Ivan: Oxes are associated with strength, and Ivan is a strong person.
- Confirmed by early spoilers for Penalteam.
- Ivan: Oxes are associated with strength, and Ivan is a strong person.
- The Dragon:
- Hawk Moth: The Dragon Miraculous could have destructive power that even the Cat Miraculous wouldn't dream of. He sees that potential and uses it during the final battle.
- Kagami: The weapon of the Dragon Miraculous is a sword, and Kagami is extremely skilled at fencing.
- Even if almost all guesses are in Kagami, Markov. Why? He’s not human, and dragons aren’t real animals (they’re mythological). Also, as we have seen that the sword can change forms, maybe he tries to change forms For Science!.
- Confirmed to be Kagami, though Marinette will use it with the Ladybug Miraculous at some point.
- Confirmed.
- Counterargument: Marinette's "personal" Miraculous besides the Ladybug Miraculous is confirmed to be the Mouse Miraculous. It would seem weird to give Marinette any more Miraculouses.
- She does in fact get to use the Dragon, but in combination with the Ladybug. Seeing as she's one of the only people with exclusive access to the Miraculous, she can use as many as is needed.
- Lila. She's the most obvious choice due to all the build-up at the end of Timetagger. It would also play along nicely with the Create Your Own Villain tropes.
- Adrien. We never actually hear Future Cat Noir speak nor do we see his face, and as Future Alix implies, their relationship is still all over the place. It's possible that he eventually learns what happened to his mother and his father's goal, and when Ladybug stops him for good, it drives him to villainy. This could lead into a future story arc where Marinette has to prevent this. As for who is Future Cat Noir? Félix.
- Since Bunnyx tells the current Cat Noir that the future damage to her Miraculous is "your fault" due to his cataclysm, this seems unlikely unless she doesn't know that the identity of Cat Noir has changed.
- Yeah, but she also said it in a rather bitter tone, like as if she held a grudge against him for it. It's possible that Adrien used the Cataclysm on the Bunny Miraculous as his first act of villainy. Ladybug was able to take the Cat Miraculous, but Adrien got the Butterfly one instead.
- Or... it was literally broken right before she went back, as that was what Bunnyx implied, and it was actively part of the plan Ladybug had. I mean of course she's gonna be kind of bitter, he broke her Miraculous. She even tells him how he breaks it- on accident by being reckless. So I very much doubt this was his "first act of villainy".
- Since Bunnyx tells the current Cat Noir that the future damage to her Miraculous is "your fault" due to his cataclysm, this seems unlikely unless she doesn't know that the identity of Cat Noir has changed.
- Emilie. In what could be a cruel twist, Gabriel may succeed in reviving Emilie, at the cost of his own life. Driven by grief, just as her husband had been Emilie takes up the Butterfly Miraculous and attempts to revive Gabriel with Lila as her Peacock holder The Dragon.
- Nathalie. If Gabriel DOES use the wish to bring Emilie back (we don't know if this is his goal for sure- he could wish instead that the Peacock was never broken which would cure both Emilie and Nathalie), it might do something to Gabriel, and Nathalie wants to fix that. Lila would again be her Dragon, but perhaps not with the damaged Peacock Miraculous, but one they manage to steal. Maybe even one not out of the first Miracle Box we see.
- Another possibility is that Gabriel actually willingly gives up his pursuit of reviving Emilie, but Nathalie didn't want everything he had done to be All for Nothing.
- Multimouse seems to be just the Mouse Miraculous (despite what the toyline suggests about Multimouse). So it's possible the reason for this is simply because Cat Noir gives it to her. Perhaps Ladybug goes to detransform, and Cat Noir finds her a second later (looking for Marinette), and in her panic to hide the fact she's Ladybug from him, she accepts.
- Jossed. In "Kwamibuster" Marinette takes the Mouse Miraculous to use when Tikki is captured. If there is ever an occasion for Cat Noir to give out this Miraculous, he won't choose Marinette because of the illusion he saw of Ladybug telling Marinette she can't have it again after revealing her identity.
- Eventually some people will start to put 2 and 2 together and Marinette will fake being given the mouse miraculous by "Ladybug" (chatbug perhaps? just an arm would need to be seen after all) and will give it back to "ladybug" later just like Alya and Nino have to give theirs back and everyone would think the shy, sweet and clumsy Marinette would OBVIOUSLY fit a little mouse much better, right?
- Confirmed. In "Kwamibuster", after Tikki is captured, Marinette uses the Mouse's multiplication power to both get her back and avert suspicion away from herself being Ladybug.
- Let’s face it, Chloé seriously drew the line here. She has been given several second chances, and her actions were based on spite, and it’s doesn’t help she showed no remorse and ruined the other Miraculous holder's chances of being heroes by revealing their identities. While Ladybug’s actions contributed to it, it doesn’t excuse how badly she acted. While she might still have the opportunity to redeem herself, these actions show her unfit as a hero, and Ladybug will not likely forgive her, ultimately needing a new person to stand in.
- Confirmed by news related to season four: There will be a new Queen Bee. Chloé is absolutely not going to be Queen Bee anytime in the foreseeable future.
- Though given how Chloé as Queen Bee is still used in merchandising material, the replacement likely won't be permanent.
- To top it off, the new "Queen Bee" is named Vesperia, and she's Zoé — Chloé's maternal half-sister.
- We have confirmation that for the next season, there will be at least two new Miraculous holders, one of which is Mylène, who will succeed Marinette at the Mouse Miraculous user. Putting aside the possibility they might be talking about the new Queen Bee, it seems possible that Ivan would be chosen because of his close connection to Mylène, as well as the fact that the Ox is second to the Mouse in the Zodiac. Plus Ivan has shown nothing but loyalty, strength and courage, which would make them a good candidate for a hero.
- Mostly confirmed — he isn't the second new wielder (that would be Rose or Zoé, who get the Pig and Bee Miraculouses, respectively, in this season), but early release information has revealed that he'll get the Ox Miraculous in Penalteam.
- Though, like Chloé, he won't be the intended recipient of it. He'll find it accidentally or possibly even manage to steal it from Ladybug somehow. But unlike Chloé, he'll be smart enough to know not to brag to the world that he has it, and will try to keep his possession of it a secret so he can hold onto it for as long as possible, though Ladybug will eventually force him to give it back.
- Confirmed by "Strike Back". Ladybug gives Félix the Dog Miraculous under the belief he is Adrien, and he uses it for his own ends in secret.
- "Timetagger" seems to imply Lila as Gabriel's successor, and given Félix's obsession with reobtaining what he considers to be his family's property (his aunt's engagement rings), it would make sense that he would consider the Peacock Miraculous to be his and take it for himself. And given how both have a talent for deceiving others, they could possibly find some common ground and unite as the new supervillain duo of Paris.
- Partially confirmed by "Strike Back". Félix does end up with the Peacock, though Gabriel still has the Butterfly.
- Techically confirmed in "Re-creation" where Lila and Félix have become the new holders of the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculous respectively. However Lila becomes a villain on her own while Félix ends up joining the heroes' team.
- The Turtle:
- Adrien's bodyguard: Marinette gives it to him when the Villain of the Week puts Adrien in danger, and Cat Noir is nowhere to be seen. He is protective of Adrien, is seemingly unaware that his own boss is Hawk Moth, and he's shown to be a fan of superheroes.
- The Fox:
- Lila: The more likely scenario is that she manages to steal it. Another possibility is that the Villain of the Week is Lila's mother, and her Akuma power made it so that Marinette's other options were absent.
- Jossed. Alya returns as Rena Rogue in "Gang of Secrets" despite Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth knowing her identity.
- Lila: The more likely scenario is that she manages to steal it. Another possibility is that the Villain of the Week is Lila's mother, and her Akuma power made it so that Marinette's other options were absent.
- Although Word of God said that she's irredeemable as a hero, it's possible that Chloé might have a change of heart closer to the series finale and will be a Miraculous holder again. As a parallel to her growth, she'll reject the Bee Miraculous as sign of her leaving her spoiled and entitled attitude behind, since being Queen Bee fed her ego that eventually spiraled out of control for her joining Hawk Moth. In contrast, her new Miraculous will symbolize her growth as a person, and this time she won't publicly announce herself as this new heroine.
- Confirmed by early release information. In Penalteam, she becomes the user of the Dog Miraculous.
- Confirmed by early release information. In Penalteam, he becomes the user of the Ox Miraculous.
[
- Confirmed by early release information. In Penalteam, he becomes the user of the Goat Miraculous.
