* The reason the lucky charms are the same as canon despite Scarlet Lady frequently not knowing what to do with them is Tikki being passive aggressive, creating items that ''Marinette'' would know to use that Chloe has no clue what to do with.
* The author explained in the tags for "Rogercop" that "marinette only gave into to emptying her bag because sabrina did it first" because "fair is fair." This is a reference to the canon episode, in which Marinette declared that she will consent to her bag being searched, but only if the other suspects are subject to the same treatment; that way, she isn't being arbitrarily singled out due to Chloé's biases.
* The author has stated that "I have personal rules against how much of canon I can change." Because of this, a potential AdaptationalNameChange was averted for the paralysis power that Pollen grants, "Venom," as the author would much prefer the name "Sting" instead. However, the author did deliberately change the cops' actions in "Rogercop" from following an akuma's orders to not doing that, since them obeying an akuma was so stupid, she couldn't justify why it happened in the first place. She also later admitted to having similar issues justifying other canon {{Idiot Ball}}s and thus got rid of them too.

* In "Sapotis," Chloé has what appears to be mud thrown in her face when clones of the titular akuma interrupt her soak in the hotel spa. After readers started suggesting that it may have been some, uh, ''other substance'' instead, the author confirmed that what the Sapotis threw was the mud used for facial masks.



* The author has said that Adrien receiving his own Kitty Section costume at the end of "Silencer" is his reward for trying to help his friends by informing his father through Nathalie about Bob Roth's plagiarism in this AU.



* When asked why Hawk Moth would still attempt to akumatize Marinette in "Zombizou" after being relieved at not having to push Chat Noir's BerserkButton in "Troublemaker," the author responded that he's still willing to take a risk if the opportunity presents itself. [[spoiler:He does make the attempt, but when Marinette gives a scathing WhatTheHellHero to Mme. Bustier, she gains enough catharsis that Hawk Moth decides to switch to the teacher]].

That decision has changed since "Penalteam" came out. In addition, the author ''really'' does wish to use Zoé in the comic but was unsure if it will be possible before settling on "yes," though Sole Crusher will not appear due to circumstances being different from Zoé's role in canon.

* When asked why Hawk Moth would still attempt to akumatize Marinette in "Zombizou" after being relieved at not having to push Chat Noir's BerserkButton by doing so in "Troublemaker", the author responded that he's still willing to take a risk if the opportunity presents itself. [[spoiler:He does make the attempt, but when Marinette gives a scathing WhatTheHellHero to Mme. Bustier, she gains enough catharsis that Hawkmoth decides to switch to the teacher.]]
* As in canon, Adrien gives up on being Aspik and says he failed 25,913 times. The author was asked if this was true in the AU and says, "Nah, that was a total asspull. 25,913 five minute intervals = almost '''3 months''', and he has better things to do."
* At the end of "Desperada", Marinette and Luka talk about his love confession and reconcile their friendship, and [[FixFIc Marinette doesn't start avoiding Luka as she did in canon]]. The author notes, "Did I take direct jabs at canon 'Crocoduel'? Yes. Yes I did."
* Zoe mentions in a response to a fan that the reason Ondine appears more than in canon is because she likes her.
* Zoe explains the reason Lila was redeemed is that, while "Volpina" was a pivotal episode that had to be adapted, Lila as a third major antagonist alongside Chloe and Hawk Moth would have bogged down the story.
* The reason the lucky charms are the same as canon despite Scarlet Lady frequently not knowing what to do with them is Tikki being passive aggressive, creating items that ''Marinette'' would know to use that Chloe has no clue what to do with.
* In "Zombizou", the author has Plagg warn Adrien that if he figures out Marigold's identity (and tells Master Fu) that he will have to give up being Chat Noir. The author in the closing notes says, "for the record I think that rule of taking away the miraculous of the person who FIGURES OUT someone else's identity is fucking stupid," and believes the rule should be applied the other way around. (This is different from the canon rule for Ladybug and Chat Noir that '''both''' would have to give up their Miraculous if '''either''' figures out the other's identity.)

[[WordOfGod The author's]] [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/sl-faq FAQ page for the AU]] reveals some future plot points of ''Webcomic/ScarletLady''.
----
* Marinette will get [[spoiler:the Bee Miraculous and become the superheroine Marigold]]. She will also eventually get the Ladybug Miraculous back. [[spoiler: The former happened when fighting Vanisher.]]
* Chat Noir will be the one who communicates directly [[spoiler:with Master Fu]]. [[spoiler:This started in "The Collector."]]
* Marinette won't be akumatized. Chloé will.
* Nino and Alya will each get a Miraculous and [[spoiler:have a Kwami swap]]. [[spoiler:Nino got the Fox Miraculous in "Sapotis" and became Fox Trot, while Alya got the Turtle Miraculous in "Anansi" to become Koki Marina.]]
* Chloé will not be redeemed. Sabrina and Lila will. Lila's situation is expanded upon in [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/619197097904914432/hey-i-have-a-question-about-your-scarlet-lady-au this post]], which notes that Lila's canon personality would be redundant in this AU and that her grudge against Scarlet Lady would be far more justified due to the latter being a {{Jerkass}} who would actually go out of her way to hurt and humiliate Lila. [[spoiler: Sabrina finally broke ties with Chloé in "Vanisher" and has begun her redemption in full]]. [[spoiler:Lila's HeelFaceTurn happened in "La Befana," and she's grown to be much friendlier and more honest in the wake of that]].
* Kagami and Luka aren't going to be as prominent as rival love interests. They may have a role as platonic friends, though. [[spoiler:Kagami first appears in "Riposte," while "Captain Hardrock" introduces Luka as a potential rival for Adrien]].
* Some of the villains [[AdaptedOut won't be appearing]] because they either are not relevant to the overall plot or wouldn't work with the AU's changes (such as Dark Owl, as Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir wouldn't trust each other enough to detransform in front of each other without looking). It's also been stated that Bunnyx won't appear, as the author does not want time travel to be involved (Timebreaker is an exception because she doesn't travel that far back).
* Regarding Scarlet's KickTheDog moment in "Gamer," since she is highly confident that she (and by [[TheLoad she]], we mean Chat) will beat the akuma, she figures [[spoiler:trying to get Marinette zapped by an akuma doesn't count as attempted murder]]; just temporarily removing an obstacle in her path. The explanation becomes relevant in-story in [[spoiler:Volpina]]. [[spoiler:When Volpina threatens to collapse a building unless Scarlet Lady hands over her Miraculous, Scarlet says she'll just bring it and everyone inside it back when she wins]]. [[spoiler:She mentions this idea again and more directly in "Captain Hardrock" and "Prime Queen," but Chat Noir and Marigold both immediately shoot it down]].
* The author has stated that "I have personal rules against how much of canon I can change." Because of this, a potential AdaptationalNameChange was averted for the paralysis power that Pollen grants, "Venom," as the author would much prefer the name "Sting" instead. However, the author did deliberately change the cops' actions in "Rogercop" from following an akuma's orders to not doing that, since them obeying an akuma was so stupid, they couldn't justify why it happened in the first place.
* The author has created some [[OriginalCharacter "sporty Not School Friends"]] for Alix who will be featured in the "Intermission" episode, with sketches on the Tumblr site. Their names are Frédérique ("Freddy") and Suhayla.
* By the end of "Captain Hardrock," most of Paris is split into three general camps regarding Scarlet Lady, with a couple of outliers.
** Alya, Tom, Sabine, Damocles, Bustier, Mayor André, Jalil, Manon, Nadja, Marc, Fred, Ella, Etta, Chris, Wayhem, Mr. Kubdel, André the ice cream man, Simon Grimault, Otis, Marlena, Rose, Mylène, and most adults in general are fans of her specifically, considering her the absolute hero of Paris. Kim and Ondine also fall into this camp, although they become more "pro-hero in general" after their respective akumatizations.
** Max, Nathaniel, Roger, Aurore, Mireille, Alec, Jagged Stone, Penny, Vincent (both the photographer and stalker), Gina, Clara Nightingale, Luka, Anarka, Mr. Ramier, Chef Chang, D'Argencourt, Mendeleiev, Juleka, and Sabrina approve of her in general, but basically approve of all of the heroes equally and are generally satisfied that the job is being done. Most of them are either simply not fanatical enough to worship one hero above the others or have been put off a little by her personality.
** Adrien, Marinette, Lila, Nino, Ivan, Théo, Master Fu, and Alix hate her guts, having dealt with her persistent and/or extremely obnoxious and self-centered behavior.
** Gabriel and Nathalie hate Scarlet Lady because they're the villains and hate the heroes in general.
* The author shoots down the theory that Chloé was messing with Kim about his Valentine's Day present due to spite from her own love problems. When a commenter brings up the theory, the author replies, "She straight up thought it was for her." The tag adds, "Because, uh, why wouldn't it be? - Chloé probably."

* The author complains about a difficult-to-draw object in "Sapotis": "I gotta tell you I have a personal vendetta against Alya's balcony now that I've had to draw it."
* When asked why Hawk Moth would still attempt to akumatize Marinette in "Zombizou" after being relieved at not having to push Chat Noir's BerserkButton by doing so in "Troublemaker", the author responded that he's still willing to take a risk if the opportunity presents itself.
