* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Nadja wanted to hound the heroes for details about their personal lives, and [[NeverMyFault blamed Ladybug]] for rejecting her prying, leading line of questioning. Now she has a Ladybug who gladly gossips about herself every single day, at the cost of her reputation.

The new Ladybug, on the other hand, is great for ratings... but only by virtue of showing off a string of hot boyfriends and exploiting her fans' fanatical devotion to her. Nadja can't do any real news reports on the new Ladybug for fear of the new hero going to some other station and taking her ratings with her, and she can't get a job elsewhere because nobody else trusts her to do real news anymore, so she's forced to spend every day nodding along with Ladybug's vacuous gossip and shilling her products while the real stories she knows go untold.

When people do reference checking the blog, they say they check 'archives' of it and not the blog itself. What actually happened to Alya and her blog, though, has not yet been defined.

[[WMG:Protagonists]]
[[folder:Marinette Dupain-Cheng (the former Ladybug)]]
Once Marinette was the superheroine known as Ladybug, swinging through the air and saving Paris from the depredations of the evil Hawkmoth. Now, though, she's just Marinette, a normal girl with a normal life... in a city that is anything but normal.
----
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: She lost all direct memories of being Ladybug and dealing with kwami, though she still retains memories from her civilian life, and she has vague feelings related to her heroic actions.
* StoppedCaring:
** In the show, she cared deeply for her parents. In this story, though, it's clear she's still angry at them for getting akumatized over what she sees as stupid issues like 'Chat Noir won't date her' and 'Gina wants to buy her a motorcycle.'
** In the show, Marinette fought to save the Place des Vosges park. After retiring, she seems unperturbed and amused that it's being torn down for a monument to the new Ladybug.

[[folder:Luka Couffaine (the former Viperion)]]
A kind and sensitive musician who receives some interesting mail from Marinette shortly before she renounces her position as Guardian. He is doing his best to care for and protect his girlfriend despite her trauma, amnesia, and resentment for those around her, but that's easier said than done in a city under the sway of a dangerous new heroine.
----
* CasualDangerDialogue: He is very chill when he talks to his mother about an akuma attack on the Champs-Elysees.
* NotYourProblem: He tells Marinette not to worry about an akuma attack because there's a new hero to deal with it.

[[WMG:Current heroes]]
[[folder:The new Ladybug]]
The current bearer of the Ladybug Miraculous. This heroine has done an excellent job of keeping the city free from akumas, but her motives could hardly be called altruistic.
----
* CorporateSponsoredHero: Her uniform has commercial logos on it.
* ProtectionRacket: She gets 'support' from the rich and powerful citizens of Paris, and while she's indicated she'll still fight akumas even if that support dries up, she's also made it very clear she has other ways of taking vengeance on anyone who refuses to pay her.

[[WMG:Formerly akumatized civilians]]
[[folder:Tom Dupain (Weredad) and Sabine Cheng (Qilin)]]
Marinette's parents. They love her. Her feelings towards them are more complicated.
----
* DotingParent: Both are clearly trying hard to support and love their daughter.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mayor Andre Bourgeois (Malediktator)]]
Paris's corrupt mayor.
----
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He wanted a bribable Ladybug, and got one. The problem is, other people can bribe her too, so Bourgeois has to keep coming up with more and more money to keep her on his side. The other problem is, he's acutely aware that bad things could happen if he stops paying up.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Bob Roth (Moolak)]]
A record producer with a penchant towards ripping off rivals.
----
* ConvictedByPublicOpinion: After he decided to no longer pay off Ladybug, she continued to protect him during an akuma attack... but then publicly stated that he didn't support her. The outraged public began to hate him, his musicians canceled their contracts, his business collapse, and his life was completely destroyed.

[[folder:Alya Cesaire (Lady Wifi)]]
Alya was a bright, inquisitive girl who once ran the Ladyblog and aided Marinette in her guises as Rena Rouge and Scarabella. But things have changed in Paris, and in Alya's case, they seem to have changed for the worse.
