History Fanfic / CheshireMiraculousLadybug

* RoleSwapAU: As by ForWantOfANail tradition, Marinette finds the Cat Miraculous and Adrien receives the Ladybug Miraculous from Master Fu.

** While canon Marinette had her issues and a long history of being Chloe's victim, she was otherwise popular among her classmates, had a stable family life and an extensive circle of friends that coalesced into her becoming TheParagon as Ladybug. Here, Chloe had done everything in her power to making Marinette miserable, ranging from bribing or threatening anyone who wanted to be her friend, to creating her own circle of bullies to harass her, to even fixing it so that her parents are so busy that they're unable to raise her. Meanwhile, while things were better as Cheshire, as soon as akumas enter the picture, she is routinely hounded by all of her fellow miraculous users from all sides (the heroes because of the Cat's bad legacy, Hawkmoth for his own ends). This results in a sweet and selfless girl with massive self-esteem issues to the point where she risks having a panic attack if she's separated from [[OnlyFriend Plagg]] for too long.
** Plagg a lot more cynical and mistrusting than canon due to the aforementioned bad legacy, as ''every'' user of his since the first one has been some flavor of scoundrel prior to his meeting Marinette.

** Mayura appears much earlier than in canon, during the Rogercop incident [[spoiler:due Hawkmoth's fixing the Peacock Miraculous]] with the help of Marinette's translation of the Grimoire.

** In canon, the original Darkblade was a TinTyrant that ruled over the common people of Paris in the Age of Knights. Here, it's revealed that he was a previous owner of the Cat Miraculous, using the power of destruction as a method of terrorizing innocent people into line and was responsible for killing one of Kaalki's owners.

* AdultsAreUseless: Due Chloe's influence, the school staff do ''absolute nothing'' against the bullying Marinette suffers.
* AffectionateNickname: Plagg calls Marinette "Bread", or sometimes "Pigtails". As she claims more Miraculous, each of them have their own nickname for her.

** Subverted whenever Trixx tries to convince Marinette to meet Master Fu. She and Plagg helpfully point out each time that Fu (and later, her fellow holders) tried to murder her on sight upon their first meeting and likely wouldn't be open to a nice talk to fix the communication issue. Trixx side-steps giving an actual solution to this problem in favour of doubling-down, but eventually accepts that they're right in saying that this isn't realistic after an attempt to talk with Misterbug has him instantly assume Trixx has been brainwashed.

* BlackKnight: One of the past Cat miraculous users was a black knight, this being a particular sore-spot for the horse kwami Kaalki.

** Marinette herself was selected to wield Pollen. [[spoiler: What Master Fu was unaware of is that Marinette is ''Cheshire'', his enemy (though only because of the legacy of the past Black Cats making her a HeroWithBadPublicity to his faction). Furthermore, he was completely unaware of Marinette's terrible social situation, which would make her a terrible fit for heroism in most cases]]. Hilariously, in the resolution of Black Queen's situation, Marinette is the only person who actually ''keeps'' the Miraculous chosen for them by Fu.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Marinette, ''definitely'' Marinette. Despite her class bullying her at Chloe's urge, being hunted by other Miraculous holders, her chronic loneliness and the effects of these factors on her health, she continues to save the class and the people of Paris from akumas. As Plagg puts after a particularly tough fight:
--> '''Plagg''': Bread ''(Marinette)'' decided to be a stupid heroic wonderbread.
* ChronicVillainy: An interesting case that applies to an object not a person. The Black Cat Miraculous has had nothing but evil holders over the centuries and the few times it’s landed in hands of someone with good intentions has always ended with that person falling to the temptation of the ring’s power, with Cheshire being the only exception so far. [[spoiler: Sass theorizes that the universe itself is actively trying to force the ring’s wielders into villainy as the price for the Wish made by the Order.]]

* DownerBeginning: The story starts by how Plagg was forced to serve a series of bad holders, to the point where he was blamed by other kwamis for their actions. On Marinette's side, it starts on the day that Chloe began her bullying against Marinette, turning the class against her.
* DownerEnding: The Season 1 of the story ends with Marinette completely spent and passed out on her bed with Plagg trying to convince himself that she'll be fine when she clearly isn't.

** After the Stormy Weather fight, Tikki and Fu think that Cheshire is able to use Unify due how different her Kitsune form is from the traditional Fox transformation, when in reality Marinette asked Trixx to base her uniform on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_fox cross fox]], which Trixx had simply never considered before. Later, at the Bubbler fight, Cheshire actually uses Unify with Plagg and Trixx for the first time.
** Adrien genuinely ''wants'' to be Marinette's friend, but his StunnedSilence at the times that Chloe's bullied her convinced Marinette that he is like Chloe. To add to the irony, she is ''Cheshire'', who Adrien as Misterbug wants to bring down.
** Marinette chews out Fu for not saving Pollen from Chloe, and vows not to communicate with him until he can provide Pollen so Marinette can apologize to her. Pollen was not retrieved because Adrien and Fu were trying to find a way to do so without Chloe having another excuse to take it out on Marinette. [[spoiler:Of course, since Alix managed to give Cheshire Pollen's comb after being de-akumatized, this is merely an excuse to cut ties with someone who caused all the trouble in the first place, not that Fu knows it]].

* EquivalentExchange: In Season 2 Sass speculated that [[spoiler:the Wish the Order made at the beginning, which was meant to increase their miraculouses and prosperity, made it so that Plagg and his bearers would always be enemies of the Order (and even just generally BornUnlucky, given the context), and the Kwamis even speculate that it's why they were able to accept that Plagg truly was TheCorrupter, the Universe was affecting their minds, as Sass was never even able to consider any of this before joining Marinette's new Order.]]

* ExhaustionInducedIdiocy: Due her exhaustion by long fights and/or the use of Unify, Marinette accidentally reveals more knowledge to Fu than she desires, which includes [[spoiler:being able to read the symbols of the Miraculous Grimoire, her great-grandfather's journal about the kwamis, and her ability to make power-up potions]].
* ExperiencedProtagonist: Marinette and Plagg have been hero work as street-level vigilantes for a couple of years by the time the main plot kicks in.

** ANY holder that is not Chesire, Misterbug (at times) and [[spoiler:Rena Rouge]]. Calling them incompetent would be an insult to incompetence.

* ForgottenBirthday: Due Chloe's bullying, no one in the school remember when Marinette's birthday even is, and her parents are usually too busy to celebrate it, if they even remember to wish her a happy one.
* ForWantOfANail: The Cat Miraculous was never given to the Order of Guardians, so Plagg was forced to serve a series of evil holders, creating a dark reputation that would turn any kwami and miraculous holder against Plagg. Also, Chloe had a ''better'' relationship with Audrey who told her how important it was to not only defeat but utterly destroy your rival... so to impress her mother, Chloe choose a "rival", Marinette, and start a systematic campaign of bullying to make Marinette miserable.

* FriendlessBackground: Marinette (due Chloe's bullying) and Plagg (due his past Holders).
* TheGlomp: Alix, Alya and Rose gives one to Cheshire when she returns from New York.

* GoingForTheBigScoop: Alya's tendency for this allowed her to record when Misterbug and Pegasus attacked Cheshire, after she helped them to defeat Newscaster. This lead to their HeroWithBadPublicity status. It also allowed her to get the information needed to destroy Chloe's untouchable status.

** Cheshire is this to other Miraculous Holders due the bad history of the past Cat holders.
** Since their first encounter results in them attacking her in broad daylight, Misterbug and Pegasus get this from the rest of Paris as Cheshire is a long-established hero by the time they appear. Even the ''akumas'' call them villains. The new "allies" do not help: King Monkey [[spoiler:aka Kim]] is hit hard after he attacked Cheshire when she was about to fix the city with [[WorldHealingWave Catastrophe]], right after she had defeated an akuma, and Queen Bee [[spoiler:aka ''Chloe'']] is a DramaQueen AttentionWhore that cares more for what the press says about her than the akuma victims, ''who she mocks on twitter''.

** Marinette suffers one when she receives an ominous and vague message from Alya, [[spoiler:who is being blackmailed into joining Chloe's clique and leave Marinette]], fearing that Alya will abandon her like the rest of the class.

* HeroicRROD: Marinette tends to collapse into bed due exhaustion after fights, especially if she uses Catastrophe and/or Unify, and her Kwamis frequently encourage her to rest more.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Snrk... Where to begin?

** Adrien doesn't think that Chloé can be a bully... Might as well gourge his eyes, [[SarcasmMode it's not like it's obvious that she's one]]. He manages to zig-zag this somehow, because when it comes to choosing holders, he's actually pretty decent.
** You'd think at least Marinette would be excluded from this, right? WRONG! She zig-zag this as well when it comes to choosing holders. While [[spoiler:Rena Rouge]] has been a decent holder so far, the same can't be said for [[spoiler:War Horse (Alix, one of her bullies), who lost her Miraculous during her ''first'' Akuma.[[note]]Not even Pegasus, King Monkey or ''Queen Bee'' managed to lose their Miraculous on their first Akuma.[[/note]] Notably, Bunnyx, Alix's actual Miraculous, ''is'' much more capable.]]

** Despite Alya having to break up her friendship with Marinette, [[spoiler:she still becomes Rena Rouge]] thanks to Marinette realizing that Alya has being coerced into doing so.

* TheKindnapper: While her actions count as theft or kidnapping, Marinette [[spoiler: takes Trixx for a good reason and when he sees how much better life is with her he promptly defects of his own free will.]][[spoiler: The same for Kaalki and Mullo later.]]

** It is even worst in the case of Plagg: the mere ''suggestion'' to not wear his Miraculous for a short period of time is enough to send Marinette into a ''panic attack''.

** The journal of Marinette's great-grandfather. Not only it allows Marinette to translate the Grimoire, [[spoiler:but it has additional information and theories about the kwamis's powers]].

* {{Magitek}}: Marinette managed to create a improved version of the Miraculous Box that she called the Miraculous Cube, which magically interfaces with her video games to provide a holodeck-like experience for the kwamis.

* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Marinette shows some feline tendencies due her bond with Plagg, much to the kwami's surprise. Later, she began to show some fox-like tendencies.

** It could to be applied to the [[spoiler:original Order of the Guardians]] as a whole, as it is implied that the knowledge of [[spoiler:the Wish]] was what made the first Cat Holder choose to steal Plagg's Miraculous.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Marinette and Adrien have a tendency for this kind of remarks when they manage to talk with each other. The first time was at Parents Day, commenting about their parents being held up by work. In the second time, both of them commented about wanting to have friends when Adrien [[spoiler:visited her as Misterbug]].
* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: After King Monkey's debut, part of Bustier's class is discussing the event and eventually Cheshire's powers. At one point Alya comments to herself that "If only Misterbug was more helpful." Adrien (who ''is'' Misterbug) looks affronted and Alya justifies that Cheshire carries most of the fights, so she needs to save her power to capture the akuma. That makes Adrien realize how he had been relying on ''Cheshire'' during Akuma battles.
* ObliviousToLove: Adrien do not realize that he is starting to crush on Marinette.
* OhCrap: Cheshire has the tendency to cause this reaction on other holders:

** Tikki when realizes that Cheshire has a new power, Catastrophe, that demonstrated how strong Cheshire is.
** When Cheshire reveal her Kitsune form in the Stormy Weather fight, Tikki and Fu think that Cheshire knows Unify.

* OhNoNotAgain: The kwamis think and comment this way when they heard that Xuppu got stuck in Chloe's bracelet.

** Adrien genuinely ''wants'' to be Marinette's friend, but his StunnedSilence at the times that Chloe's bullied her convinced Marinette that he is the same as Chloe. His AccidentalTheft of her umbrella and lucky charm ''do not'' help.

* PowerOfTrust: The mutual trust between Marinette and Plagg manifests her in her developing some feline tendencies, and more importantly, [[spoiler:being able to use ''Catastrophe'' and ''Catalyst'']].

** Marinette lets some of her anger and sadness slip through at Fu and Mister Bug when she goes to meet them in person after Kim is outed as King Monkey, while giving them an, unknown to them, impossible task in order to cut ties with Master Fu cleanly.

** Upon seeing Bixi, King Monkey concludes that Cheshire has the Turtle Miraculous and is prepared to attack her. Misterbug explains that Bixi is a temporary hero that he recruited for the fight... except that Bixi [[spoiler:is Marinette ''who is Cheshire'']].

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Marinette cuts ties with Fu, after Kim is revealed to be King Monkey and Pollen goes missing. While her stated reason are implied to be true, it is also an excuse to stop helping Mister Bug and Fu.
* SecondSuperIdentity: Marinette has several forms at her disposal, depending of the Miraculous that she uses.

* StunnedSilence: Adrien's standard response to Chloe's bullying - this don't endear him to Marinette. Although this is changing ''very'' slowly and outside of Marinette's view.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Cheshire ''was'' willing to work with other Miraculous Holders to defeat Akumas, but after being attacked by Misterbug and Pegasus, she is far more reluctant. She fights the Akumas at their side, but is always careful to prevent attacks from them.
* TemptingFate: Alya thinks that nothing was getting between her friendship with Marinette. [[spoiler:She was wrong]].

--> '''Alya''': After Cheshire/Knightmare did most of the work along with saving you. ''[Alya shows a video of Knightmare stepping through a portal and smashing the router]'' Plus being a hero is more than fighting villains, it’s being there to help the citizens. Cheshire is there for us, she takes time out of her day to help people with the smallest of things. The stories I get are of her doing small nice things. The Cat saves people from robbers, helping find animals, heck she even helps elderly citizens across the street and carries their groceries.

* TrustPassword: {{Averted|Trope}}. Mayura fails Cheshire's test when she didn't correct the name of the previous Peacock user, Bella Blue.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: This is what Adrien and Tikki think that Cheshire wants to achieve with her countless acts of civilian level heroics, so the public would be in her side.

--> '''Fu''': [[spoiler:Hello Marianne… Yes it is as you said. I will hand over my title of guardian to the boy soon, but before that I have some unfinished business to do first.]]

!!The side stories contains examples of:

* ForWantOfANail:
** ''Early Discovery AU'': a stronger coughing attack make Bella Blue too weak to return home by herself, forcing the peacock user to drop the transformation and reveal her identity: [[spoiler:Emilie Agreste]].
** ''Captured AU'': Misterbug manage to escape from his bodyguard, giving him the chance to capture one of the mice that Cheshire became after using Multitude to flee King Monkey, leading him to unmask the hero as Marinette and capture her.
** ''Mouse AU'': Marinette did not find the Mouse Miraculous during the Horrificator incident, so it goes to its planned user, [[spoiler: Mylene]].

* FriendshipTrinket: PlayedWith. The only reason why Plagg did not give a Kwagatama to Marinette it is because he didn't know about them. He start to make one soon as Trixx explain the process.
* GodzillaThreshold: In order to find evidence of Chloe masterminding the bullying against Marinette, Alya consider to [[spoiler:be ''akumatized'' again an option, although a desperate one]].
* HeelRealization: After Marinette's identity is revealed in the ''Captured AU'', Alix and other classmates realized that they have been bullying their hero ''for years''.

* RageBreakingPoint: Alya reaches hers after Marinette is unmasked, and she decides to tell the truth in an scorched earth manner, starting about how Chloe is the mastermind bully and that Adrien's scarf was actually a gift from Marinette.

* ChronicVillainy: An interesting case that applies to an object not a person. The Black Cat Miraculous has had nothing but evil holders over the centuries and the few times it’s landed in hands of someone with good intentions has always ended with that person falling to the temptation of the ring’s power. [[spoiler: Sass theorizes that the universe itself is actively trying to force the ring’s wielders into villainy as the price for the Wish made by the Order.]]

** The Miraculous Grimoire (or at last, a copy of it).

** Marinette lets some of her anger and sadness slip through at Fu and Mister Bug when she goes to meet them in person after Kim is outed as King Monkey.

** The amok that Bella Blue used to create copies of the Miraculous Gremoire resemble Yoshi, from Mario Bros.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Due to Cheshire already being a well-known hero who is always around to help others by the time Hawk Moth debuts, the city of Paris ''adores'' her and it leads to the other heroes becoming extremely disliked when they try to attack her, to the point where ''the akumas themselves'' begin calling them out for it.

** While canon Marinette had her issues and a long history of being Chloe's victim, she otherwise had a HundredPercentAdorationRating among her classmates, a stable family life and an extensive circle of friends that coalesced into her becoming TheParagon as Ladybug. Here, Chloe had done everything in her power to making Marinette miserable, ranging from bribing or threatening anyone who wanted to be her friend, to creating her own circle of bullies to harass her, to even fixing it so that her parents are so busy that they're unable to raise her. Meanwhile, while things were better as Cheshire, as soon as akumas enter the picture, she is routinely hounded by all of her fellow miraculous users from all sides (the heroes because of the Cat's bad legacy, Hawkmoth for his own ends). This results in a sweet and selfless girl with massive self-esteem issues to the point where she risks having a panic attack if she's separated from [[OnlyFriend Plagg]] for too long.

** [[spoiler: Marinette's incomplete translation of the Grimoire would allow the fixing of the Peacock Miraculous by Hawkmoth]].

** Every Kwami thinks bad of Plagg because of his previous holders...and just for that. He's actually a cool guy to be with as some Kwami finds out.

** Subverted whenever Trixx tries to convince Marinette to meet Master Fu. She and Plagg helpfully point out each time that Fu (and later, her fellow holders) tried to murder her on sight upon their first meeting and likely wouldn't be open to a nice talk. Trixx always side-steps giving an actual solution to this problem in favour of doubling-down on the claim that Master Fu will friendly until Marinette either becomes too visibly stressed to continue the conversation (prompting Trixx to change topics out of concern) or Plagg forcibly changes the subject to something lighter out of annoyance.
** Cheshire ''and'' Marinette pose several scathing ones to Master Fu and Misterbug when Queen Bee and King Monkey are revealed, due to how terrible those choices are: the former is a narcissist and a bully, and the other is one of her blind supporters, meaning they prioritised [[BloodKnight attacking Cheshire]] over stopping the Akuma, which only made things '''''worse'''''.

* AttentionWhore: Chloe, to the point that she [[spoiler: uses her Queen Bee identity to gather votes for the class president election]].
* BeleagueredAssistant: During the Darkblade fight, [[spoiler:Bixi]] has to deal with Misterbug's lack of a plan and Darkblade's knights, that included the corrupted King Monkey and Queen Bee, ''and'' protect the civilians in the City Hall.
* BigBadEnsemble: Chloe and Hawkmoth - while Hawkmoth is the GreaterScopeVillain of the story, Chloe is the main villain on civilian side of Marinette's life.

** When Trixx tries to convince Marinette to meet Master Fu, the very person who fought her upon first meeting and ordered the other holders to go after her Miraculous, arguing that this would resolve the situation, she replies: "How would I resolve the situation with someone who believes the Cat to be nothing but evil?"

** While canon!Marinette had her issues and a long history of being Chloe's victim, she otherwise had a HundredPercentAdorationRating among her classmates, a stable family life and an extensive circle of friends that coalesced into her becoming TheParagon as Ladybug. Here, Chloe had done everything in her power to making Marinette miserable, ranging from bribing or threatening anyone who wanted to be her friend, to creating her own circle of bullies to harass her. As Cheshire, she is routinely hounded by all of her fellow miraculous users from all sides (the heroes because of the Cat's bad legacy, Hawkmoth for his own ends). This results in a sweet and selfless girl with massive self-esteem issues.

** While Alix in canon was surly, here she is an accomplice in Chloe's bullying campaign against Marinette. It's implied that, after Chloe's FallFromGrace, She becomes a strong ally to Cheshire as Bunnyx.

* AngerBornOfWorry: More than once, an exasperated and worried Plagg warns Marinette to be careful when fighting other Miraculous holders and to care about herself. [[spoiler:The other kwamis join in the worrying]].

** When Trixx tries to convince Marinette to meet Master Fu (who earlier fought her on the spot and choose Misterbug and Pegasus to beat her and retrieve her Miraculous) to resolve the situation, she replies: "How would I resolve the situation with someone who believes the Cat to be nothing but evil?"
** Cheshire ''and'' Marinette pose several scathing ones to Master Fu and Misterbug when Queen Bee and King Monkey are revealed, due to the fact he chose two people one who is a narcissist and a bully, and the other who is one of her blind supporters, meaning they prioritised [[BloodKnight attacking Cheshire]] over stopping the Akuma, which only made things '''''worse'''''.

** Adrien genuinely ''wants'' to be Marinette's friend, but his StunnedSilence at the times that Chloe's bullied her convinced Marinette that he is like Chloe. To add to the irony, she is ''Cheshire'', who Adrien as Misterbug want to bring down.

* DoubleAgent: Misterbug discuss such thematic with Marinette. In the end, [[spoiler:he decides to try it and gives Juleka the Tiger Miraculous in hoping for her to gain Cheshire's trust [[note]]Of course since Cheshire is Marinette, it doesn't really work, but she feigns ignorance[[/note]]]].

** Even some of the Akumas (particularly Stormy Weather) finds Misterbug and Pegasus assaulting a distracted Cheshire (who was clearly comforting an Akumatized victim, not threatening a civilian) appalling.
** Hawk Moth, despite wanting to use the Wish, is reluctant since he KNOWS the Cat's history of evil users, and mistakenly believes Cheshire's a VillainWithGoodPublicity. [[AtLeastIAdmitIt At least Hawk Moth is honest that he's a supervillain!]]
* EvilFormerFriend: Nino reveals that Chloe and Marinette were friends when they were younger. Then her mother Audrey instilled the idea that life is about beating one's rivals and Chloe took this to heart, having since conspired to ''destroy'' Marinette every way she can, either bribing those who could be bribed or threatening those who couldn't (even threatening their families with her father's connections).
* ExhaustionInducedIdiocy: Due her exhaustion by long fights and/or the use of Unify, Marinette revealed to Fu that [[spoiler:she could read the symbols of the Miraculous Grimoire and about her great-grandfather's journal about the kwamis, and later, instead of treats for Fu's kwamis, she gave macaroons with power-up potions, revealing that she can make them]].
* ExperiencedProtagonist: Marinette and Plagg have been heroing for a couple of years by the time the main plot kicks in.

* ForgottenBirthday: Due Chloe's bullying, no one in the school remember when ''is'' Marinette's birthday.

* FridgeLogic: InUniverse. Max questions how Cheshire could fix the city from the damage of Akuma fights if her power is Destruction.

* GoodVersusGood: In a way the conflict between Cheshire and Fu/Adrien is this. For one side, Marinette/Cheshire is a genuine hero, who uses the Cat Miraculous for good and treats with caring and compassion any kwami that she collects. From Fu and Adrien's perspective, they are trying stop a girl who they think is a villain (due the bad legacy of the Cat) capturing and corrupting kwamis.
* GrailInTheGarbage: Marinette finds Plagg's ring in a mud ball.
* HatesBeingAlone: Marinette, to the point where she cannot bear the idea of giving ''any'' kwami away in order to gather allies.

* HyperCompetentSidekick: Bixi, The Turtle Miraculous Hero [[spoiler:(aka Marinette)]], is seen as this by the witnesses of Darkblade battle in comparision with the other members of Misterbug's team.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Cheshire appears wearing the Horse Miraculous, while both Misterbug and Max are talking with some students of the Bustier's class. Angry, Max asked how she dared to appear with "his" Miraculous. Cheshire defends herself saying that she did not know that he was in the group and she let escape that he did not treat Kaalki well.

** Despite Alya having to break up her friendship with Marinette, [[spoiler:she still becomes Rena Rouge]] thanks to Marinette spotting the thread.

** The Miraculous Box ''still'' becomes it's design under Marinette's guardianship [[spoiler: despite it being Misterbug's.]]

** On chapter 11, Trixx informs Marinette about the bad reputation of Plagg's past holders.
** After being akumatized, Max was revealed to be Pegasus.

* ThePoorlyChosenOne: With the exception of Adrien, Master Fu's Chosen so far, Max and Kim, fall in this category - Max with his PoorCommunicationKills with Kaalki, and Kim who prioritizes fight Cheshire over the Akumas. Marinette, the one competent person that both Fu and Adrien want to recruit, is a ThePoorlyChosenOne for them in a different way - she is the civilian identity of ''Cheshire'', the very holder that they want to bring down. Notably, through dumb luck, Marinette ''also'' gets the Miraculous Fu chose for her.
* PowerOfTrust: The mutual trust between Marinette and Plagg allows her to show some feline tendencies [[spoiler:and to be able to use ''Catastrophe'' and ''Catalyst'']].

** Chloe thinks that Marinette stole her bracelet, despite the fact that Marinette wasn't in the room. Marinette ended up with the bracelet after she freed Xuppu - who really took the bracelet - from it with the help of pepper.
** Seeing Bixi, King Monkey concluded that Cheshire had the Turtle Miraculous and prepared to attack her. Misterbug had to explain that Bixi is a temporary hero that he recruited for the fight... except that Bixi [[spoiler:is Marinette ''who is Cheshire'']].

* ShipperOnDeck: Alya and Master Fu noticed that Adrien is interested in Marinette.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Jacob, a cleaner for the Agreste Estate, finds a copy of the Miraculous Grimoire, one of the two copies made by Bella Blue, and a journal with Marinette's original partial translation. [[spoiler:Nathalie gets the translation journal, while Jacob manage to give the book to Adrien - who would give it to Master Fu]].

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/2480524 Cheshire]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fanfiction by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/RozonRozark/pseuds/RozonRozark RozonRozark]].

The Cat Miraculous was never given to the Order of the Guardians, and was then passed down through generations to commit many evils. Plagg would have been happy to never be used again... until he met a outcast, a lonely young girl named Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Assuming the identity of Cheshire, Marinette and Plagg must face the dangers of Paris when every other Miraculous Holder is against them.
