to:

* DeliberatelyBadExample: Inverted, as she’s the only ''good'' example in a bunch of bad examples. Her presence in the story shows the reader that not everyone in Paris acted like an EntitledBastard towards Ladybug or dismissed her advice -- and subsequently shows how much Marinette's changed since she's lumping genuinely kind people in the same category as active jerks.
* DirtyCoward: She regards herself as this since she didn't join Kagami and Socqueline's new anti-Ladybug resistance.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: After overhearing Marinette refer to her as "Reflekta", Juleka is horrified at the idea she did something unforgivable to her while akumatized. She's right that Marinette resents her over something she did; what she doesn't know is that Marinette resents her because she was akumatized ''period''.

** Though she cruelly insults Nino for all the times he got akumatized, she isn't wrong about how poor his emotional control, or about how bad he is at keeping secrets.

* ItsAllAboutMe: According to Marinette, Lila is so selfish that if she had the Earrings, she would have already stolen the Ring from Chat Noir and either made a Wish of her own or sold the Miraculouses to Hawkmoth. As far as she's concerned, the fact that the world still exists is proof-positive that Lila doesn't have the Earrings or access to the Ring. [[spoiler:Marinette is not only extremely wrong, she also manipulated Lila into taking the role, and one further step of her revenge scheme was making sure Lila did not had the Cat Miraculous… but the fact Marinette kept it is definitely not good, either]].

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Widely admired by all of Paris, despite the odd ''whispers'' here and there. This is part of what makes her so dangerous, as she's more than happy to ''weaponize'' her fans by pointing them in the direction of those she dislikes.

* NiceGirl: Luka thinks Kagami is fundamentally a good person, and is surprised when Marinette implies she wouldn't have chosen her simply because of [[DisappointedByTheMotive how she got akumatized into Riposte]]. That being said, Marinette is also sure that Kagami would be too honorable to ever pull the grift that the current Ladybug is.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Treated his superhero life as an escape and didn't take his duties seriously, forcing his partner to take on all the stress and responsibility. Now the only thing he has in his life is the pursuit of justice against the woman his partner handed the reigns to when she quit.

to:

* LaserGuidedKarma: FatalFlaw: Because Adrien only cares about getting what he wants and doesn't spare any thought to how others might be thinking or feeling, he was easily lured into a trap that [[spoiler:cost him his Ring]].
* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Given the timing of his {{Unrequited Love Switcheroo}}s, as he gave up on Ladybug just as she was succumbing to StockholmSyndrome and considering giving him a chance and began pursuing Marinette right after she'd abandoned her crush on him, he's accused of only caring about the ''challenge'' of getting a girl who doesn't like him to succumb to his charms. Adrien denies this; however, given the hints that [[spoiler:he ''still'' wants to make Marinette his even after their falling out]], this might be another truth he refuses to acknowledge.

* IdealHero: Deconstructed. The endless pressure to be Paris' perfect hero, especially since her "teammates" weren't held to the same standard and Paris did nothing to help her against Hawkmoth, wore Marinette down to the point she couldn't take it anymore and retired. [[spoiler:Said pressure has also turned her into a borderline psychopath who is only being held back from using the Wish herself by Luka's influence on her, and if she ever loses him for any reason it's all over.]]

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Two and a half years of slaving away as Ladybug for a completely ungrateful and entitled Paris has turned Marinette from an idealistic and kindhearted girl who just wants to stop a madman from unmaking reality and for people to respect her into an embittered, cynical, and selfish young woman [[spoiler:who is also a closeted {{yandere}} who won't hesitate to unmake reality rather than lose Luka]].

** While it's implied that Marinette deliberately chose a SketchySuccessor to get back at Paris she wasn't so bitter that she chose someone who would screw over the whole world by being bad at the job of fighting Hawkmoth. This is why she's certain that she wouldn't have chosen Chloe or Lila as the new Ladybug; the former would be too lazy and entitled to fight Hawkmoth for long while the latter would almost certainly try to make a Wish for herself.

For Luka she's barely able to hide her disdain for Paris and the former akumas but is able to convince him that she will try to put it behind her and heal (while musing to herself that it's unlikely she ever will.) For Lila and Felix she not only outright threatens them at several points but also tricked them into thinking she got rid of the Black Cat Miraculous; she further tricks Luka into buying a disguised Cat Miraculous for her so she has complete deniability about having it... in case she needs to make the Wish if Luka ever stops being the "perfect boyfriend."]]

Luka is not blind to the change in Marinette's personality and her continued bitterness towards former akuma victims, former friends, Paris as a whole and hell, pretty much everyone that is not Luka, but Marinette's feelings are justified enough that he only tries to help her heal and get back to a better state of mind.

* MoralMyopia: Is so self-absorbed that he seems practically incapable of considering anyone else's feelings. He complains about how Gabriel was spending more time to him due to how he was SecretlyDying, purely because he was DisappointedByTheMotive and wished he'd had some 'purer' reason for wanting to be with his son, and declares that Ladybug should have just accepted that he was no longer interested in her and "maturely" moved on after spending the better part of two years constantly harassing her and grousing over how ''horrible'' it was that she didn't return his feelings.
