| 25 | Marinette's father. He and his wife, Sabine, own a bakery. |
| 26 | ---- |
| 27 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: How Marinette sees him and Sabine after they continuously interrupt her and Adrien's video game training with offers of food, and tell him that Marinette talks about him a lot. Adrien, whose parent is guilty of ParentalNeglect, appreciates their gestures. |
| 28 | * AuthorAvatar: Series creator, Thomas Astruc based Tom on himself. |
| 29 | * ButNotTooForeign: French on his father's side, Italian on his mother's. |
| 30 | * {{Foil}}: To Gabriel Agreste. Both are the fathers of the respective main characters, but everything about them from their personalities to their approaches in parenting are polar opposites. Tom is HappilyMarried with Sabine and knows what's best for Marinette, while Gabriel is cold and distant with the rest of the household and [[ParentalNeglect has been neglecting Adrien for most of his life]]. Tom genuinely cares about Marinette while occasionally scolding her for her flawed moments, and while Gabriel does care about Adrien, he's been raising him to be passive and is not only unresponsive to Adrien's flaws but is the main cause of his flaws in the first place. [[spoiler:And since Gabriel is Hawk Moth, he often hides the truth from Adrien and is willing to [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwash people]] [[KnightTemplarParent and inflict destruction on Paris to achieve his goal]], [[TheUnfettered even if it involves putting people's lives (especially Adrien's) at risk]].]] This even extends to their villain forms Weredad and the Collector respectively, where both were the first people to be newly Akumatized at the start of a season (not counting Lila). While Weredad was akumatized because of his [[PapaWolf fatherly instincts towards Marinette]] and wants to protect her in every way he can, the Collector is AxCrazy and is obsessed with trapping everyone and everything into his sketchbook, even his loyal associates. |
| 31 | * GoodParents: With Sabine. They clearly love their daughter, but they are also ready to scold her when they catch her being selfish or mean. |
| 32 | * HappilyMarried: With Sabine. In one episode they celebrate their 20th anniversary, and they are as happy as the first day! |
| 33 | * HiddenDepths: Tom is a skilled gamer. Pretty impressive, considering how huge his hands are. |
| 34 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Sabine. The height difference isn't too extreme, but Tom's forearm is about as wide as Sabine's waist. He's also this with his daughter, who's a full head shorter and far slimmer. |
| 35 | * LikeParentLikeChild: He, like Marinette (his daughter), gets waaay too invested in Marinette and Adrien's (well, Cat Noir) life together with their [[RunningGag big house and three kids and hamster.]] |
| 36 | * MeaningfulName: "Dupain" means "bread" in French. He's a baker. |
| 37 | * NiceGuy: Tom is a caring and kind person. |
| 38 | * PapaWolf: He goes against André Bourgeois' s authority when the latter tries to have Marinette arrested in "Rogercop". He also literally becomes this in "Weredad" after [[spoiler:Cat appears to break Marinette's heart.]] In the alternate timeline seen in "Cat Blanc", he angrily bans Nathalie and Gabriel from his bakery after [[spoiler:Gabriel blackmails Marinette into dumping Adrien.]] |
| 39 | * ParentalObliviousness: He (and Sabine) are unaware of their daughter's superpowers. |
| 40 | * ShipperOnDeck: |
| 41 | ** He and Sabine are delighted that Marinette and Adrien spend time together in "The Gamer," and frequently pop in with excuses to check on the two of them. |
| 42 | ** He is utterly delighted when Marinette pretends to confess her love to Cat Noir in "Weredad", and sets up a romantic date between them. |
| 43 | * SupremeChef: He's good enough in the kitchen to cater a major movie premiere attended by the likes of Adrien Agreste and Jagged Stone. Both Adrien and Plagg consider him the best baker in the city. |
| 44 | * SweetBaker: Like his wife, Tom is a skilled baker and they co-own their bakery. And like Marinette, he is a NiceGuy. |
| 45 | * TopHeavyGuy: Tom's upper torso is comparatively massive compared to his head and legs. |
| 46 | * {{Tuckerization}}: Tom is named after creator Thomas Astruc. |
| 47 | * WackyMarriageProposal: Apparently proposed to Sabine by hiding the ring in one of André's ice cream cones. She nearly swallowed it as a result. |

| 54 | |
| 55 | Marinette's mother. She and her husband, Tom, own a bakery. |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * AllAsiansKnowMartialArts: Sabine is Chinese and can wield a baking paddle like a spear. "Qilin" does have her performing some tai chi (albeit following it off of the television) as she starts her morning to give some implication that she may have genuinely had martial arts training, though tai chi can also be practiced only as an exercise routine. |
| 58 | * AllThereInTheScript: Until the Christmas special, Sabine's name was only in promotional material. |
| 59 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: How Marinette sees her and Tom after they continuously interrupt her and Adrien's video game training with offers of food, and tell him that Marinette talks about him a lot. Adrien, whose parent is guilty of ParentalNeglect, appreciates their gestures. |
| 60 | * CharacterTics: Usually seen drinking tea, especially when giving out pearls of wisdom. |
| 61 | * CultureEqualsCostume: Sabine wears a cheongsam to reflect her Chinese heritage. During the Christmas special, she wears a tang coat over it. |
| 62 | * GoodParents: With Tom. They clearly love their daughter, but they are also ready to scold her when they catch her being selfish or mean. {{Exaggerated|}} in "Qilin", which shows Sabine knows Marinette ''so'' well that she places a full laundry basket at the bottom of the stairs to Marinette's room to cushion her losing her balance on the stairs, places a sponge on the ground next to the kitchen table beforehand to soak up milk Marinette will spill, opens a magazine showing shoes on sale to make Marinette think about asking for bigger shoes, reserves a spot at a restaurant before Marinette suggests the two of them go to for lunch, and counts down on her fingers in prediction of the exact moment Marinette will call her after Marinette's missed the bus. |
| 63 | * HappilyMarried: With Tom. In one episode they celebrate their 20th anniversary, and they are as happy as the first day! |
| 64 | * HeroicWillpower: In "Qilin", she tries to resist from being akumatized even after getting unfairly arrested, but Shadow Moth's influence eventually manages to overcome her. However, she ends up breaking free of the Akuma once Ladybug brings the keys to her handcuffs in order to free her. |
| 65 | * HiddenDepths: In "Troublemaker", she uses a peel as a makeshift Kung Fu spear. |
| 66 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Tom. The height difference isn't too extreme, but Tom's forearm is about as wide as Sabine's waist. |
| 67 | * TheMaidenNameDebate: Even though she is married, Sabine kept her maiden name. |
| 68 | * MamaBear: Sabine uses a peel as a MartialArtsStaff in "Troublemaker" when Jagged Stone's cameraman barge into Marinette's room revealing her privacy without permission. |
| 69 | * NaturalizedName: As revealed in the Shanghai special, she changed her name from Xia-Bing to the very similar Sabine when she moved to France. |
| 70 | * NiceGirl: She is gentle, kind, and loving. |
| 71 | * OpenMindedParent: Sabine is more mild about protecting Marinette than Tom while remaining just as loving and caring. "Dearest Family" sees all of the Dupain-Cheng family akumatized over arguing on the topic of if Marinette should be allowed to have a motorcycle, and Sabine ends up coming off as the most reasonable by declaring that Marinette should be able to decide this sort of thing on her own (though [[{{Irony}} ironically]] failing to get Marinette to let her say her piece throughout the argument), aside from how she wants to keep Marinette away from the rest of the family after being Akumatized. |
| 72 | * ParentalObliviousness: She (and Tom) are unaware of their daughter's superpowers. |
| 73 | * ShipperOnDeck: She and Tom were delighted that Marinette and Adrien spend time together in "The Gamer," and frequently pop in with excuses to check on the two of them. |
| 74 | * SweetBaker: Like her husband, Sabine is a skilled baker and they co-own their bakery. And like Marinette, she is a NiceGirl. |
| 75 | * {{Tuckerization}}: Sabine was named after Thomas Astruc's girlfriend at the time, who is French-Chinese. |
| 76 | * YourSizeMayVary: Sometimes, she goes from being the same height, to slightly shorter, to significantly shorter than Marinette. |

| 87 | * ChubbyChef: One of the greatest chefs in the world, and on the chubby side. |
| 88 | * CoolUncle: To Sabine and Marinette. He's an accomplished Chef and a pretty nice fellow. |
| 89 | * EloquentInMyNativeTongue: Can speak a bit of French, but still requires Adrien as a translator. Adrien himself becomes rather intrigued with Wang after their conversation in Mandarin. |
| 90 | * InterchangeableAsianCultures: Chloé thinks he'll only be able to make sushi due to him being Chinese. Adrien corrects her, stating that Japanese people are known for making Sushi. |
| 91 | * KeepItForeign: He speaks Mandarin Chinese in every other dub, but in the Mandarin dub, he speaks Cantonese, which is still a Chinese dialect, but notably mutually unintelligible with Mandarin. |
| 92 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: The montage of him preparing his soup. |
| 93 | * NiceGuy: He's soft-spoken, congenial, and respectful. |
| 94 | * OlderThanTheyLook: For a man with a grown niece and a teenaged great-niece, Wang certainly doesn't look old. |
| 95 | ** The Shanghai special states he's just turned 60 years old. He looks like he's early middle aged at the oldest. |

| 104 | Marinette's grandmother on her father's side. A cool, motorcycle driving old Italian lady who loves Marinette, but is unfortunately out-of-touch with what Marinette likes. |
| 105 | ---- |
| 106 | * AmicableExes: The fact that she's not shown associated with her husband Rolland implies that they're divorced, but [[https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vsFivAbYf/?igshid=8nkzhx4zmrgt Marinette's Instagram post for New Year's Eve 2019]] shows her amiably sitting next to her ex-husband. |
| 107 | * CoolOldLady: She travels across the world, rides a motorcycle, and is very stylishly dressed. |
| 108 | * CoolShades: She wears red glasses with tan rims. |
| 109 | * DotingGrandparent: Gina's debut episode shows how much she absolutely adores her granddaughter. |
| 110 | * FashionableAsymmetry: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Her outfit is nearly identical except for the watch and assorted wristbands she has on her left and right wrists, respectively. |
| 111 | * GratuitousItalian: Between the Italian words she drops and her heavy accent, it's made quite clear that Italian is her native language. |
| 112 | * NiceGirl: Gina is a kind, loving, and understanding person. |
| 113 | * ShipperOnDeck: {{Implied|Trope}}. When Adrien gives Marinette his birthday gift to her, Gina can be seen smiling at the two along with her son and daughter-in-law. |
| 114 | * SilverVixen: A rather attractive and good-looking grandmother with white hair. |

| 123 | |
| 124 | Marinette's grandfather on her father's side. A crotchety old man who holds anything modern in contempt and is estranged from his son. |
| 125 | ---- |
| 126 | * BerserkButton: Any modern innovation, as well as "ruining" bread by making any changes to the recipe or eating it any way other than plain. He disowned his son for adding rice flour to his dough recipe, curses the Romans for conquering Gaul and introducing the concept of sandwiches to the people there, and considers pizza to be an unholy abomination. |
| 127 | * BetterWithNonHumanCompany: Other people haven't seen him outside of his house in years and Marinette soon finds him quite unsociable...but he's got three mice in his house (despite the obvious health risk they'd possess to cooking) that he's named Charlotte, Marie-Louise and Marguerite which seem to have such a mutual understanding with him that they fetched him and Marinette ingredients for their bread making competition without him directly telling them to do this. |
| 128 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "That's not how it's done!" |
| 129 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: He stopped talking to his son 20 years ago for "adding rice" to the family's traditional bread recipe. Recall that [[MalignedMixedMarriage Tom married Sabine around the same time]]. Though he's perfectly willing to talk to Sabine over the phone and only gets mad when she brings up Tom, so it's possible he really is just that petty. |
| 130 | * EvilLuddite: Downplayed. He's merely a {{Jerkass}} Luddite until he gets akumatized. He refuses to consider anything that does not fit into his traditionalist mindset. |
| 131 | * GrumpyOldMan: He's extremely irritable and unsociable. When Marinette first tries to talk to him, he shuts down all attempts without even knowing who she is. |
| 132 | * HeelFaceTurn: Eventually, Marinette manages to make him reconsider and he attends his son's birthday party. |
| 133 | * IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam: When he finally tries Tom's altered recipe, he admits that it actually is as good as everyone says it is. |
| 134 | * IHaveNoSon: Disowned Tom after he changed the family's traditional bread recipe. |
| 135 | * {{Irony}}: He expresses a grudge against the Romans for conquering the Gauls and trying to change their traditions, his ancestor's bread being the main reason... yet he married an Italian woman. |
| 136 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Underneath that crabby traditionalist exterior is a man who, after not leaving his home for 20 years, deeply misses his family. After his Akumatization ends, he quickly worries about Marinette since his home oven may have been alone...though he lies badly that he was just worried the bread might have gotten overbaked. |
| 137 | * MeaningfulName: '''Roll'''and. As in bread rolls. Given that he's usually Akumatized after getting worked up about tradition, his name may also be a reference to Roland, the titular hero of ''Literature/TheSongOfRoland'', who is famed for giving his life in defense of Francia. |
| 138 | * MiniatureSeniorCitizens: His son and ex-wife are ''way'' taller than him. |
| 139 | * PapaWolf: Grandpapa Wolf in this case, but after recovering from his Akumatization, his first thought is panic at the possibility that Marinette might be in danger. In "Simpleman", he's also highly protective of the children Marinette left in his care, even after being Akumatized again. |
| 140 | * PatrioticFervor: Implied, given his dedication to traditional French recipes and how proud he is of his Gallic heritage. Additionally, in "Simpleman," one of the things he recommends the kids watch is the 1998 World Cup Final[[note]]The one team France won on French soil[[/note]], and as Simpleman, he has a ''Tricolour'' flag pattern on his mask and cape. |
| 141 | * TheShutIn: He hasn't left his house in 20 years. The only person he talks to on a regular basis is the guy who delivers his groceries. |
| 142 | * SeriousBusiness: Bread is very serious business to this man. He goes as far as to condemn sandwiches and pizza as affronts to bread. |
| 143 | * TechnologicallyBlindElders: He really dislikes new things, especially technology, which he's decades behind on. He doesn't understand how wirelss transmission for telephones and internet works, despite likely being familiar with the radio before television. In Simpleman, the younger children Marinette babysits deconstruct this by suggesting that maybe he's afraid of so many new things because he doesn't understand them. Because everything is new to them as well, they offer to learn with him about how they work, which he considers. |
| 144 | * UglyGuyHotWife: He's rather plain-looking, being short, chubby, and bald, while his wife is a SilverFox. |
| 145 | * WhenIWasYourAge: {{Downplayed|}}, while he never fails to express his discontent with pretty much anything he considers new and non-traditional, he doesn't tend to actually say that the traditional ways being less convenient or effective made the people using it better - he just gets grumpy at new things and gripes [[CharacterCatchphrase "That's not how it's done!"]], but he doesn't continue to complain about the modern world overall any further. He's once Akumatized into Simpleman, which has him make everyone simpler (and stupider) because he thinks it'd all work better that way, which certainly implies some inkling of this trope's train of thought is in his head - but as far as grumpy luddites go, he doesn't go around justifying his own opinion very much, he just doesn't like new stuff. |

| 151 | [[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emilie_agreste.png]] |
| 152 | ->'''Voiced by: Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey (EN), Fernanda Baronne (BRP)''' |
| 153 | |
| 154 | Emilie Agreste is Gabriel Agreste's wife and Adrien's mother. Also she's a former Peacock Miraculous holder who used it to create her son Adrien. [[spoiler:She was in a stasis chamber in a coma underneath the Agreste mansion before Gabriel gained the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous to heal Nathalie before reuniting with Emilie in the afterlife, according to WordofGod.]] |
| 155 | ---- |
| 156 | * AdventurerArchaeologist: Though not an archaeologist by trade, she searched Nepal for lost Miraculouses; Nathalie flashbacks to her in a tunnel, with the classic khakis and torch. |
| 157 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: Adrien and Gabriel seem to remember her as [[NiceGirl a good person]], but the show hints that Emilie might be sketchier than they let on. It's made clear by many of Adrien's statements that Gabriel's [[ParentalNeglect abhorrent parenting techniques]] date back to before Emilie's disappearance, implying that she at least went along with them. In fact, Gabriel has actually softened on some things like letting Adrien go to school, which did not happen while Emilie was around. Furthermore, she worked with Gabriel in his initial pursuit of the Miraculouses, and used the Peacock one herself, for reasons unknown. [[spoiler: "Passion" and "Collusion" further muddles things by showing that she was concerned about how obsessed Gabriel was becoming about obtaining the rest of the Miraculouses and wanted him to stop his search.]] |
| 158 | * AmbiguousSituation: Emilie is said to have disappeared, but it's not clear what the circumstances behind it are. [[spoiler:Gabriel has her body preserved in a mausoleum beneath his home, and it's not clear if she's actually dead or merely being kept in stasis of some kind. In any case, Gabriel clearly doesn't have the means to revive/heal her without the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses.]] In "Stormy Weather 2", Nathalie states that [[spoiler:Emilie is merely in a deep sleep but is only falling deeper as time goes on]]. In the webisode "Gabriel", Gabriel mentions that had he and Emilie not used the Peacock Miraculous she wouldn't be in the condition she is now, all but confirming the Miraculous is responsible for Emilie's coma. This makes sense that the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous are the only thing which can save her given a Miraculous is responsible for her condition. It is further confirmed in "Evolution" when a young Gabriel is shown giving her the damaged Peacock Miraculous.[[spoiler:And although in "Re-creation" Gabriel succeeds in making his wish at the cost of his life, is unclear if the blonde woman who appears in the Agreste mansion was Emilie revived from her coma or her twin sister Amelie. The creators later confirmed that it was Amelie as her sister and brother-in-law are now together in the afterlife.]] |
| 159 | * ArtImitatesArt: The portrait of her that hangs in Mr. Agreste's office is a shout-out to Creator/GustavKlimt's ''The Woman In Gold''. |
| 160 | * BlueBlood: She and her younger twin sister, Amelie, are daughters of aristocrats from a British noble family and had a Lady courtesy title and rank before renouncing it. |
| 161 | * ComicBookFantasyCasting: They pretty much just took a photo of Creator/TaraStrong, recolored the dress and gave her a new face. In fact, the writers [[https://twitter.com/Miraculous_US/status/864931446485426176 admitted]] that they modeled Mrs. Agreste's design on Tara. |
| 162 | * DatingWhatDaddyHates: Both her parents in her case, as they opposed her marriage to Gabriel, who was then a poor tailor who went by Gabi Grassette. |
| 163 | * FamilyEyeResemblance: Adrien has inherited her green eyes. This was lampshaded by Ladybug in the English dub. |
| 164 | * FamilyThemeNaming: Her name is two letters off from her sister Amelie. May be ThemeTwinNaming, due to their resemblance. |
| 165 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to Amelie's responsible in choosing to marry another man that her parents disapprove of and lacking interest in taking responsibilities for the family's legacy. |
| 166 | * GoodParents: {{Implied|Trope}}. While Adrien's relationship with his father is strained, there is not a single hint this applies to his mother. He has shown numerous times to deeply love his mother, keeping many pictures of her on his phone and becoming depressed in "A Christmas Special" because it is his first Christmas without her. |
| 167 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has blonde hair and is regarded as a loving wife and mother, and appeared closer to Adrien than Gabriel is. |
| 168 | * HappilyMarried: {{Implied|Trope}}. While not much is known about her relationship with Gabriel, there are moments that show they had a loving marriage -- He keeps many pictures of her in their home and that Adrien explained in the webisode, "Adrien's Double Life", that ever since Mrs. Agreste disappeared, Gabriel has been a "changed man". Also they were shown together in "Evolution" in a lovely picnic and Gabriel even BridalCarry her. |
| 169 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: She was friends with Nathalie from their teenage years until her own death, shared a house with her even after getting married, and devoted a section of her video will to her, and even entrusted her to take care of her son, knowing Nathalie would do so like a mother. |
| 170 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: In her recordings, she wanted Gabriel to stop obsessing over the Miraculous, move on, and be happy. The same with Adrien. |
| 171 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: {{Implied|Trope}} to be this to Gabriel. According to Adrien in a webisode, she disappeared, leaving her husband a changed man and in "A Christmas Special", he is shown looking at her portrait forlornly. |
| 172 | * TheLostLenore: Played with. Emilie isn't dead, just in a very deep sleep. [[spoiler: It is revealed that she and Gabriel are now in the afterlife together.]] |
| 173 | * LovingParentCruelParent: Downplayed. Adrien's father Gabriel Agreste is incredibly strict and controlling while also neglecting his son, and at times his actions cross into emotional abuse. While there are hints that Emelie was equally controlling, she was also a loving parent who always listened to Adrien and used to spend a lot of time with him. |
| 174 | * MamaBear: Also in her recordings, Emilie called Adrien her and Gabriel's "little prince" and "little miracle". Her wishes were for him to be free, have control over his life, be able to make his own decisions, be protected, and more than anything, she just wanted him to be happy and create his own vision of happiness. |
| 175 | * MissingMom: To Adrien. She disappeared some time before the series premiere and "A Christmas Special" reveals that her disappearance happened some time in the last year, as it is Adrien's first Christmas without her. |
| 176 | * MotherlySidePlait: In all of Adrien's photos of her, Emilie wears her hair in a large corkscrew curl draped over her left shoulder. Very fitting for a woman said to be a good-hearted wife and mother. |
| 177 | * MysteriousParent: Even more-so than her husband; almost no information about Emilie, like the circumstances of her disappearance, has been brought to light yet. [[spoiler: Although, it is known that Emilie was a former holder of the Peacock Miraculous and used it to create Adrien.]] |
| 178 | * NiceGirl: Not much is known about her, except she was stated to be kind-hearted and a loving mother/wife to her family. |
| 179 | * PlotTriggeringDeath: Not death, but Emilie falling into a coma is what inspired Gabriel to take up the Butterfly Miraculous and terrorize Paris in order to lure out the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous. Also, her video recordings to Nathalie were part of the reason she turned against Gabriel. |
| 180 | * ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler: "Passion" and "Collusion" reveals that Emilie had grown concerned about how obsessed Gabriel was becoming with finding the Miraculouses and wanted him to give up on the idea. She left behind recordings to him to try and convince him to stop should the worst come to pass and also left a recording for Nathalie to look after Adrien. Considering everything that happened up to the point this was revealed she was right to be worried and smart to make those recordings.]] |
| 181 | * TheReveal: "Style Queen" reveals [[spoiler:[[PosthumousCharacter she was comatose before the start of the show]], and Hawk Moth wants to collect the Miraculouses in order to revive her]]. |
| 182 | * RichesToRags: In "Representation", it was revealed that Emilie was an aristocrat who came from a British noble family, but she gave up her title and wealth to marry a then poor Gabriel. However, after he becomes a successful fashion designer, he and Emilie are able to live a wealthy lifestyle until her coma. |
| 183 | * SpiritedYoungLady: She was this in her youth; adventurous, bold, and wild. She hated the nobility life and escaped it whenever she could. |
| 184 | * SuddenlySpeaking: [[spoiler:She says "Yes" when accepting the Peacock Miraculous from a young Gabriel in "Evolution", which is the first time she has ever spoken in the series.]] |
| 185 | * UnnamedParent: Until "Gorizilla", Emilie was only ever referred to as [Adrien's] mother or [Gabriel's] wife. |

| 193 | |
| 194 | Adrien's bodyguard and driver for the Agreste family. |
| 195 | ---- |
| 196 | * AllInTheManual: The official CollectibleCardGame, ''Miraculous Secrets'', reveals his first name: [[spoiler: Placide]]. |
| 197 | * AnimalMotifs: He's sometimes called "The Gorilla" in-show (which is French slang for a bodyguard). In "Simon Says", he's even hypnotized to act like an actual gorilla. And in "Gorizilla", he's Akumatized into the titular villain, which is a giant, blue gorilla. |
| 198 | * BadassBystander: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] since it never amounts to anything, but there are several instances where he challenges an akumatized villain to protect Adrien. While he's often shown struggling against the sheer amount of Adrien's rabid fanbase, he is good at his job when he's not literally being buried under a mass of humanity, notably spotting and preventing Fei's attempt to pick Adrien's pockets before she can make the attempt. |
| 199 | * BaitAndSwitchBoss: He is set up to be the antagonist of "Gigantitan" after he gets caught up in Marinette's ZanyScheme to get a date with Adrien, but he calms down at the last second and the role goes to a nearby infant. He gets his turn as an akumatized villain in "Gorizilla". |
| 200 | * BruiserWithASoftCenter: Despite his extremely intimidating appearance, he is very fond of Adrien and often goes behind his boss's back to make him happy. |
| 201 | * ClosetGeek: He reads superhero comic books and has an extensive collection of superhero action figures. |
| 202 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Before being hired by Gabriel, he was "the strongest knight" of Colt Fathom, an arms dealer, which suggests that he was either a bodyguard, a mercenary or something... worse. |
| 203 | * TheDriver: His main role is to drive Adrien around in the Agreste's family car, although he sometimes also acts as his bodyguard. |
| 204 | * HiddenBadass: His large size makes him someone you don't want to end up fighting. In "Simon Says", when the titular villain shows up in the studio, he immediately puts himself between Adrien, Nino, and Simon Says, before charging at the guy without hesitation. Goes about as well as you would expect, but hey, this guy takes his job seriously. |
| 205 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be a serious, grim, and stoic man, but his reaction to seeing that Adrien is safe in "Gigantitan" shows that he really does care for his young charge. He also often disobeys his boss on many occasions like letting Adrien have a party in "Party Crasher". |
| 206 | * ManlyTears: He had tears in his eyes seeing Adrien being forced to leave Marinette in "Revolution". |
| 207 | * NoNameGiven: Even the show's creator just calls him "The Gorilla". The most given by the show is his name in Adrien's contact list where he is simply called "G". |
| 208 | * PetTheDog: In "Cat Blanc", when [[spoiler:Marinette breaks up with Adrien and runs off, Adrien begs him to let him go after her. Gabriel told him not to, but he disregards the order and lets Adrien go. He also seems to witness Adrien transforming into Cat Noir, but unlike Nathalie, [[SecretKeeper he doesn't seem to report it to Gabriel]]. Of course, reporting it to Gabriel would require actually ''speaking'', and [[TheVoiceless he isn't very fond of that]].]] |
| 209 | * PrimalFear: The New York special reveals he's deeply afraid of flying. He has to listen to relaxing music throughout the plane ride and even when he lands. This is probably a little joke about his Akumatized form being a giant gorilla and the planes shooting in the famous KingKongClimb. |
| 210 | * SatelliteCharacter: Even more so than Nathalie, as his appearances coincides mainly with Adrien. |
| 211 | * SeriousBusiness: |
| 212 | ** According to Hawk Moth in "Gigantitan", the Gorilla takes his job as a chauffeur very seriously, to the point that a few parking tickets made him susceptible to being akumatized before he calmed down at the last second. |
| 213 | ** He is an avid collector of superhero action figures. So much that he is willing to go behind Gabriel's back by letting Adrien's friends throw a party in the house for a few rare ones. |
| 214 | * SpannerInTheWorks: In "Cat Blanc", Gabriel orders him to not let Adrien go after Marinette after [[spoiler:the latter breaks up with the former]]. When he disobeys him, [[spoiler:it leads to Adrien revealing his identity to Marinette, Nathalie, and Gabriel. As a result, Gabriel is able to emotionally manipulate Adrien so that he can akumatize him, which leads to the EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. However, Ladybug from an alternate timeline is at least able to reverse it, because if the Gorilla had followed his orders instead, then ''Marinette'' would have been akumatized.]] |
| 215 | * ToBeLawfulOrGood: Despite being under [[AbusiveParents Gabriel]]'s payroll, he frequently disobeys him in order to let Adrien do what he wants to do, firmly setting him as the Good part of this trope. |
| 216 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Between himself, Gabriel, and Nathalie, he's the only one who's not actively crusading for Hawk Moth's goals (at least when not akumatized). |
| 217 | * TheVoiceless: He never bothers to speak; he just grunts or growls. |

| 224 | |
| 225 | Emilie's twin sister and Félix's mother. |
| 226 | ---- |
| 227 | * AmbiguousSituation: While she knows about Félix being Argos, it is unclear if she knows that her brother-in-law is Hawk Moth/Monarch or that her sister is in a coma while being preserved in a cryogenic pod. Also, while it's known that her husband Colt was abusive towards their son, it's unknown if Amelie was aware of this or if she was also treated badly by her husband. |
| 228 | * AristocratsAreEvil: Played with, as in "Multiplication" it is revealed that Amelie is an aristocrat by the of "Lady" and hides her son from Ladybug and Cat Noir after he betrayed them, as she believed they mistakenly thought that Félix was a villain. |
| 229 | * ArrangedMarriage: In "Representation", it was revealed she and Colt were paired up by the former's parents. |
| 230 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: She acts fairly cheerful when meeting Gabriel and Adrien again, except she's only there to steal Gabriel and Emilie's wedding rings. |
| 231 | * BlueBlood: She and her older twin sister, Emelie, are daughters of aristocrats from a British noble family and has a Lady title and rank. |
| 232 | * ClothingReflectsPersonality: While her sister is only ever seen in white, Amelie is only ever seen in all-black. |
| 233 | * DomesticAbuse: Implied at the hands of her husband by Félix as he mentioned in his play that "if he became a fond of anyone who displeases his father", and it showed an arm of a stuffed bunny being ripped and in "Gabriel Agreste", Amelie also wore a bunny mask in the party. |
| 234 | * FamilyThemeNaming: Her name is two letters off from her sister Emilie. May be ThemeTwinNaming, due to their resemblance. |
| 235 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible to Emilie's foolish in being obedient to their parents by doing whatever they wanted and accepting her arranged marriage to Colt. |
| 236 | * LackOfEmpathy: Gives Gabriel some thinly-veiled mockery for wearing his wedding ring after Emilie's disappearance, despite having lost her own husband around the same time. |
| 237 | * MamaBear: A villainous example. She actively harbors Félix after his betrayal of the heroes in Paris. Also, she never blamed or stopped loving her son for her husband's illness and death, unlike Colt. |
| 238 | * MuggingTheMonster: Although she doesn't know it, the person whose wedding ring she's trying to steal is ''[[LoveMakesYouEvil Hawk Moth]]''. |
| 239 | * ParentalSubstitute: At the end of "Re-creation", Amelie moves in the Agreste mansion and it's implied that she, alongside Nathalie will take care of her nephew Adrien after his father's death. |
| 240 | * SecretTestOfCharacter: Gives one to Gabriel in "Emotion", by pretending that her son is missing and scolding Gabriel for not helping her to find him, only to be coldly dismissed by him, convincing Amelie that her brother-in-law is a monster. |
| 241 | * SoProudOfYou: Gives one to Félix [[spoiler:after she finds out that he stole Gabriel's ring.]] |
| 242 | * VillainousMotherSonDuo: While she and Félix are small potatoes compared to [[BigBad Hawk Moth]], [[CoDragons Mayura, and Lila]], they're nonetheless out to steal Gabriel and Emilie's wedding rings, and Amelie's conversation with her son implies there's more to the rings than meets the eye. |
| 243 | * WellDoneDaughterGirl: In "Representation", she was revealed to be this in her youth, unlike her sister Emilie, as she always wanted to please her parents and even agreed to wed the heartless billionaire Colt Fathom in an arranged marriage for their sake. |

| 249 | Amelie's late husband and Félix's father, an American billonaire and arms dealer. |
| 250 | ---- |
| 251 | * AbusiveDad: In "Pretension", Félix mentioned that his father was "a thousand times worse" than the strict Tomoe Tsurugi. In "Representation", it was shown he called Félix a monster, controlled him with his amok like a puppet while spending his final days taking anything that made Félix happy. |
| 252 | * AmbiguousSituation: In "Multiplication" it was revealed by Ladybug that he died a year before the events of the episode, but the cause of his passing was never revealed. However, it was confirmed that he died as a result of using the damaged Peacock Miraculous to create Félix. |
| 253 | * ArrangedMarriage: In "Representation", it was revealed he and Amelie were paired up by the latter's parents. |
| 254 | * BabiesEverAfter: Along with his in-laws, Colt also wanted a child to symbolize their wealth and status. |
| 255 | * DomesticAbuse: It's implied that he was not only abusive towards Félix but also Amelie as he mentioned in his play that "if he became a fond of anyone who displeases his father", and it showed an arm of a stuffed bunny being ripped and in "Gabriel Agreste", Amelie also wore a bunny mask in the party. |
| 256 | * TheGhost: He has yet to appear on the show, even in flashbacks. The only thing we know about his appearance is that he had a mustache. |
| 257 | * GreenEyedMonster: Colt was jealous of Emilie and Gabriel being able to have a child while he and Amelie couldn't and Colt created Félix from that jealousy. |
| 258 | * HateSink: Despite not having much known about him, what is known about him makes him out to be an incredibly detestable person, even arguably up there with the likes of Gabriel, Lila, and Chloé;, for being an incredibly rude snob and an absolutely horrible and father to Félix, abusing him and calling him a monster. |
| 259 | * NeverMyFault: He blamed Félix for his illness, when it was Colt who created him with the Peacock Miraculous. |
| 260 | * RichBitch: In "Multiplication" it was stated that Colt was an billionaire and Félix implied that his father was abusive towards him in "Pretension". |
| 261 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He's deceased, but the Agrestes being absent from his funeral caused Félix to be embittered towards Gabriel and Adrien. Also, it's implied that Félix wants to free his cousin and Kagami from their strict parents because he was oppressed by his father. Also due to creating Félix from his jealousy, caused his son to be envious and aloof. |

| 269 | ---- |
| 270 | * ArrangedMarriage: They arranged one between Amelie and Colt Fathom. |
| 271 | * BabiesEverAfter: After Amelie and Colt's wedding, the parents wanted the two to have an heir to continue their wealthy, aristocratic, and noble lineage. |
| 272 | * BlueBlood: They are aristocrats of the British nobility. Since the daughters have a Lady courtesy title, the father is either a Duke, Marquess, or Earl (the British equivalent for Count). |
| 273 | * DatingWhatDaddyHates: Both parents opposed Emillie's marriage to Gabriel, who was then a poor tailor named Gabi Grassette. |
| 274 | * NobilityMarriesMoney: They expected this from their daughters. They set up Amelie with Colt because of his status and wealth. |
| 275 | * PetTheDog: Though Emilie cut ties with her family after she infuriated them for marrying beneath her, they were willing to give her the best medical treatments as she and Amelie were infertile. |
| 276 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Worried about Emilie's rebellious nature, they sent her to Paris for her education, where she met Gabriel. They arranged Amelie's marriage to Colt. Even with the best medical treatments for their daughters, neither could have a child, leading Emilie and Colt to use the broken Peacock Miraculous to create Adrien and Félix. |

| 285 | |
| 286 | Chloé's father and former mayor of Paris. |
| 287 | ---- |
| 288 | * BeingEvilSucks: The weight of constantly doing the bidding of his wife and daughter, coupled with Gabriel betraying him, convinces André to resign as mayor as of "Collusion". |
| 289 | * BirdsOfAFeather: |
| 290 | ** In stark contrast to his and Chloé's relationship, André actually has much in common with his stepdaughter, Zoé, and they bond over their necessity to take the backseat for the family and have to give up a dream to please them. Zoé's presence has a positive influence on André, where he tries to assert himself a little more to Chloé and Audrey's demands. |
| 291 | ** In a deleted scene from "Collusion", where André finally mans up, resigns as Mayor, and declares that he's done being Audrey and Chloé's slave (even divorcing the former), he takes custody of Zoé. Aside from wanting to get his stepdaughter away from such horrible influences, it's very likely he did so out of gratitude for being such a positive influence on him and helping him reignite his true passion. |
| 292 | * CorruptPolitician: Played for Drama. Most of his immoral actions as mayor are the result of being a DotingParent to Chloé and a HenpeckedHusband to Audrey. He even lampshades his predictiment in "Collusion" to Gabriel, who doctored the footage to further tarnish his image. |
| 293 | * {{Cuckold}}: André and Audrey have been married for 20 years, but it's revealed Audrey has a teenage daughter with another man shortly after giving birth to Chloé. |
| 294 | * DotingParent: |
| 295 | ** {{Deconstructed|Trope}} with his relationship with Chloé. André pays for Chloé's every whim and she uses his status to ensure she never has to face the consequences of her actions, effectively turning Chloé into the spoiled brat she is today. |
| 296 | ** "Sole Crusher" demonstrates he has the capability to be a more positive version of this, given he is the only one of the Bourgeois to show Zoé any normal familial love. This is even sweeter when you remember that Zoé is not even his biological child, but the result of an affair Audrey had, so he would have every reason to disdain her. |
| 297 | * EngineeredPublicConfession: Became a victim of it while complaining about all the horrible things he's done to stay in his wife's good graces, Gabriel secretly recorded André and edited the footage so he can release it online and discredit him. |
| 298 | * ErmineCapeEffect: He is always seen wearing his sash with the colours of the French flag. Normally in France a mayor would be expected to wear this piece of garment only during a formal ceremony. |
| 299 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: While reluctantly willing to cater to the demands of his more immoral relatives, André wilfully refuses to replace the Parisian police force with robots. |
| 300 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 301 | ** To Gabriel Agreste -- In matters of parenting styles, Mayor Bourgeois is the opposite. While Gabriel is aloof and has placed restriction after restriction on his son's life, André is usually personable, but gives his daughter more freedom than is safe or healthy. Also, while Gabriel is openly rude to everyone he does have a softer side, André is more friendly in comparison, but can be quite obnoxious, especially when it comes to his daughter. |
| 302 | ** To Tom and Sabine -- Both are loving parents to their respective daughters, but while Tom and Sabine know when to discipline Marinette for her behavior, André constantly excuses Chloé's brattiness. |
| 303 | * FreudianExcuse: As the show goes on, André’s status as a bitter CorruptPolitician is revealed to be because he gave up his dreams of film-making to impress a wife who never loved him and has spent an entire political career he did not want kow-towing to a daughter who was a GenerationXerox of said wife. |
| 304 | * GoodStepmother: Gender-inverted. While Zoé isn't his biological daughter, he cares for her as if she were his own. |
| 305 | * GrewASpine: As the show goes on, André gains the courage to stand up for himself against his demeaning wife and daughter by exiling them to New York In "Revolution". |
| 306 | * HeelRealization: André admits that he has abused his power as mayor for the sake of his wife and biological daughter who treat him like dirt regardless, and was happier when he had a simple life. This motivates him to finally step down as mayor. |
| 307 | * HenpeckedHusband: His wife has absolutely no respect for him and she has him completely under her thumb. The prospect of disappointing Audrey leads him to go along with his daughter's scheme in "Frightningale". "Adoration" reveals that not only did he go into politics to please Audrey (as revealed in "Sole Crusher"), but went so far as to change his name from "Anaximandré" to "André" just to make her happy. |
| 308 | * HiddenDepths: "Sole Crusher" reveals he had aspirations of being a film director, and was the one to direct ''Solitude'', the film that Emilie Agreste starred in. But was forced to become a politician to stay in his wife's good graces. |
| 309 | * LikeParentLikeChild: André admits that his father used to be a politician which was part of his motivation in becoming mayor. |
| 310 | * MayorPain: Of the incompetent kind. He fires Officer Roger on a spur of the moment because he accidentally upset Chloé, among others abuses of power. The "Darkblade" episode also implies he's a SleazyPolitician. |
| 311 | * NeverMyFault: Just like Audrey, he never accepts any responsibility for how Chloé turned out. [[spoiler: In "Revolution", he kindly denies Ladybug giving his daughter a Magical Charm and ''finally'' takes responsibility for his errors.]] |
| 312 | * OpenMindedParent: For all his other faults, he is highly supportive of Zoé's crush on [[spoiler:Marinette]]. |
| 313 | * PapaWolf: |
| 314 | ** {{Deconstructed|Trope}} in his relationship with Chloé. If he feels that his daughter has been wronged, he will go to any lengths to help her... even if it means jumping to conclusions and using his position to threaten others. |
| 315 | ** Despite the amount of slack he cuts Chloé, there is one thing he refuses to do for her -- harm his stepdaughter Zoé. |
| 316 | * PushoverParents: He bends and caters to Chloé's every whim, and she's naturally developed into a SpoiledBrat and a KiddieKid because of it. |
| 317 | * ResignedInDisgrace: [[spoiler: After Gabriel uses ManipulativeEditing to make André look like (even more of) a SleazyPolitician, he’s forced to leave the office of Mayor. As André already deeply regretted the lengths to which he went to make his wife and daughter happy (and they still treat him with no respect, anyway), he sees it as the perfect opportunity to pursue his true passion and gladly resigns.]] |
| 318 | * ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: He's not above abusing his power to get his way, and it's usually similar to his daughter's hissy fits. |
| 319 | * SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:He knows about Zoé's crush on Marinette, and helps her keep it a secret from Chloé, who would almost certainly redouble her efforts to ruin Zoé's life if she found out about it.]] |
| 320 | * ShipperOnDeck: [[spoiler:In "Adoration", he helps facilitate Zoé's efforts to hang out with Marinette, knowing that she has a crush on her.]] |
| 321 | * SleazyPolitician: Mayor Bourgeois is implied to be one. While he doesn't seem to be a bad man, Chloé claims that, if there is one thing her father's campaign tactics have taught her, it is that the way to win an election is to make your opponents look bad. It's worth noting two of the villains were created as a result of his actions. André even admits as much to Gabriel in private, though he's not proud of it. |
| 322 | * UglyGuyHotWife: His wife is a StatuesqueStunner, while he’s overweight and seemingly older than her, judging from his grey hair. |
| 323 | * UltimateAuthorityMayor: Downplayed. He is shown seeking reelection in "Darkblade" and the conflict of "Malediktator" starts when his wife and daughter make a demand of him that exceeds even his authority, but he's still treated as the highest authority in Paris with no sign of any interference from the federal government. |
| 324 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: How he feels about Gabriel after the latter betrays him in "Collusion" by releasing an EngineeredPublicConfession of the mayor. |

| 332 | Chloé's henpecking mother, known for being one of the harshest fashion critics. |
| 333 | ---- |
| 334 | * AbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder: While away from her husband in New York, she had an affair and a child with a man named Mr. Lee. |
| 335 | * AbusiveParents: |
| 336 | ** When Audrey isn't neglecting Chloé, she's putting her down every minute or mis-remembering her name. Even if she's nice to her daughter, it's while encouraging her to be spiteful and selfish. But following "Revolution", furious that Chloé tarnished the family name after being ousted as the dictatorial mayor of Paris (rather than ''for'' turning Paris into a dictator state, which she approved of), Audrey makes it clear she intends to make her daughter's life miserable. |
| 337 | ** She's less abusive and more neglectful of Zoé, seemingly uninterested in her compared to her molding of Chloé into someone like herself. Zoé needs to put up a similar stuck-up attitude in order to gain her mother's attention. Still, Audrey doesn't put her down and actually remembers her name, which is downright nice by her standards. |
| 338 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Audrey has as much of a head for names as Chloé. It comes of as MaliciousMisnaming at times, since she is too self-centered to be concerned with the names of her ''husband'' or ''daughter''. Averted with Zoé her child from an affair. She actually remembers her name despite rarely seeing her, which says things about Audrey's priorities. |
| 339 | * AllTakeAndNoGive: She forced André to give up his dreams of being a movie producer, go into politics, and even change his name for the sake of their marriage, but wasn't willing to make any similar concessions on her part. She had no problem abandoning him ''and'' their newborn daughter to continue her job as a fashion critic, and, to rub salt in the wound, cheated on him with another man while in New York, resulting in Zoé. |
| 340 | * AllThereInTheScript: Her first name wasn’t said onscreen until "Style Queen". |
| 341 | * AlphaBitch: She makes Chloé look nice by comparison, constantly firing (or trying to) anyone around her for the most minor of slights. |
| 342 | * BadBoss: She tends to fire people at the drop of a hat, even trying to fire people who don't work for her. This is so prominent that "You're fired." is her catchphrase, and she still uses the catchphrase as Style Queen. |
| 343 | * BehindEveryGreatMan: Deconstructed. When Chloé faces being expelled in "Confrontation" for helping Lila frame Marinette for making fake copies of every single student's school forms, Audrey intimidates André into abusing his authority over Mr. Damocles to keep their daughter in school. |
| 344 | * CausticCritic: Audrey is a high profile fashion critic, and legendary for being impossible to please. |
| 345 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "You're fired." She also uses Chloé's "Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!" ([[BorrowedCatchphrase or rather the other way around]]) and variants on it. |
| 346 | * DomesticAbuse: Her treatment of André is frankly emotional abuse, demeaning and insulting him for the slightest thing and making him terrified of disobeying her. He seems to have wised up to this as he wants her as far away from him as possible, so she's moved on to threatening to take Chloé away. |
| 347 | * TheDreaded: In "Frightningale", André is reluctant to sabotage Clara's video (although Chloé is pushing him to do so, likely to spite Marinette). However, all it takes is Chloé threatening to call Audrey for him to be willing. She is ''so'' bad that Hawk Moth (who knows her personally) is confident that she would make a villain so vile that he would finally succeed, and after she is defeated he actually ''retires from being Hawk Moth'' since he feels there's no point in trying anymore if not even a villain made from someone ''that'' evil could win (of course, said retirement ends up being of the [[TenMinuteRetirement ten minute variety]]). |
| 348 | * FearlessFool: Audrey is not intimidated by Akumatized villains, because she's so arrogant that the idea that someone might actually oppose or hurt her simply never enters her mind. |
| 349 | * GenerationXerox: Her debut episode makes it very clear where Chloé got her AlphaBitch behavior from. |
| 350 | * HateSink: She’s an older Chloé without the redeeming qualities, she treats her daughters, husband, and staff poorly, and casually cheated on her husband with a man in New York. The fact that she can even make the viewer feel sorry for Chloé, who is normally a hate sink in her own right, tells you just how awful she is. |
| 351 | * ItsAllAboutMe: After getting to know Audrey, it's clear where Chloé gets her narcissism and inflated ego from. Audrey thinks that everything is supposed to go her way, and even believes she has the authority to fire people who don't even work for her. She even tells her own daughter that the only thing that's exceptional about her is ''her own mother''. |
| 352 | * {{Jerkass}}: She is even ''worse'' than Chloé - a narcissistic, egotistical, cold-hearted prima donna who thinks she is above everyone else and even treats her daughter and husband very poorly. |
| 353 | * LikeMotherLikeDaughter: If her behavior in "Style Queen" is anything to go by, Chloé gets most of her AlphaBitch tendencies from her. She is narcissistic, conceited, believes everyone and everything should cater to her and believes she has the authority to fire anybody (including people who don't even work for her). It is not until the end of "Queen Wasp" does she realize this and promise to be nicer (to Chloé, anyway). |
| 354 | * MissingMom: She left Chloé to pursue a career in America when she was only a toddler. She returns in the "Queen's Battle" two-parter. |
| 355 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Likely named for fashion icon Creator/AudreyHepburn. |
| 356 | * NeverMyFault: Even after in the aftermath of "Revolution", Audrey never accepts responsibility in how Chloé turned out due to her bad parenting. Played with in that Audrey doesn't disapprove of her daughter's behavior, but her incompetence at getting away with it. |
| 357 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Her appearance (bob haircut, large sunglasses), attitude (caustic, with extremely high standards), and status (one of the biggest names in fashion) make her an exaggerated sendup of Anna Wintour. |
| 358 | * ParentalAbandonment: "Despair Bear" suggests that she left her husband and daughter years ago. It is revealed in "Style Queen" that she lives in New York where she does most of her work. |
| 359 | * ParentalNeglect: In "Zombizou", Sabrina mentions that Audrey never bothered to remember birthdays, likely including her own daughter's. |
| 360 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: While being exiled to New York, Audrey harshly and angrily gives one to Chloé for her foolishness and vows to gain control of her life. Chloé, seething that she ''also'' lost her mother's love and respect, retreats to the back of the plane. |
| 361 | --> '''Audrey:''' Because of you, we've lost face! You've ruined our name and our reputation! You had all the powers in your hands, and you foolishly lost them! Bourgeois do not raise losers. You think you're going to London on vacation? Dream on! ''I'm'' going to take control of your life again, starting with your education. |
| 362 | * RichBitch: Audrey is dumbfounded that she would be made to walk on a fabric carpet when she ordered a ''marble'' one. |
| 363 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Turns out Chloé got this trait from her, as she's happy to use her husband's position to demand ridiculous things. |
| 364 | * SecretOtherFamily: [[spoiler:In New York, she had an affair with a man named Mr. Lee and had a child with him, Zoé.]] |
| 365 | * ShadowArchetype: Audrey, who puts her daughter's selfishness and arrogance to shame, is clearly what Chloé will become if she doesn't clean up her act and learn humility. |
| 366 | * SharedFamilyQuirks: She and Chloé share a lot of mannerisms. At least some of this is Chloé consciously copying her. |
| 367 | * StatuesqueStunner: She’s tall and attractive. |
| 368 | * StylishSunhats: Audrey wears a gold and black sunhat with a large gold rose adorning it. She's a harsh high-profile fashion critic. |
| 369 | * TooDumbToLive: Much like her daughter, Audrey does not know when to draw the line when it comes to pushing other people's buttons. She does not seem the least bit alarmed by Chloé's transformation into Queen Bee, nor does she seem concerned that her husband (who she has been kicking around because he won't abuse his power) was akumatized, continuing to KickTheDog in spite of this. |
| 370 | * UglyGuyHotWife: André is overweight, and judging by his grey hair, older than the statuesque Audrey. |
| 371 | * WomanChild: A middle-aged AlphaBitch, which is ultimately just as depressing as it sounds. |
| 372 | * YouAreTheNewTrend: She has a lot of sway in the fashion world, having turned Gabriel from "drawing his unworldly designs in his dismal, cramped studio" into one of the richest fashion-moguls in France, something she almost did with Marinette. |

| 380 | An employee at André's hotel who acts as Chloé's personal valet. |

| 382 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Neither Chloé nor Audrey care enough to learn his name, and just call him various compound names that start with Jean. Sole Crusher {{lampshade|Hanging}}s it by calling him "Jean-Something". His name actually isn't Jean-''anything''; it's Armand. |
| 383 | * TheConscience: Invoked in "Despair Bear," where he pushes Chloé to improve her personality by asking her [[WhatWouldXDo what her stuffed bear would do.]] |
| 384 | * NiceGuy: He's been looking out for Chloé since she was a little girl, and is more patient with her than you would think humanly possible. When Adrien threatened to end his friendship with her, he comforted her and encouraged her to be a better person, so as to amend their relationship. |
| 385 | * OldRetainer: He's not old per se, but he's apparently been working for the Bourgeoises since Chloé was a toddler, and acts as the fatherly figure that André does not provide by acknowledging her shortcomings and encouraging her to improve. |

| 429 | * BadassNormal: [[spoiler:Nora has no powers, but in "Mayura", she leads a small army of Parisians against Hawk Moth's Akuma army.]] |
| 430 | * TheBigGirl: She completely towers over Alya and her friends. She's big enough and strong enough that she can wrap all three of her siblings and Nino in a single bear hug. |
| 431 | * BoxingBattler: She mostly fights like this in spite of being a kickboxer, as otherwise it would be too easy. |
| 432 | * BoisterousBruiser: She's loud, short-tempered, and very proud of her fighting skills. |
| 433 | * CurbStompBattle: Apparently, she's used to delivering them, claiming that most of her matches end with her winning in Round 1. |
| 434 | * DoNotCallMePaul: Insists on being called by her ring name, Anansi. |
| 435 | * EpicFail: Marinette mentions that Nora once tried to protect Alya from an Akuma...who turned out to simply be an unfortunate Mr. Banana. |
| 436 | * GenderBlenderName: Well, a nickname. Anansi spiders are named after a male character from African folklore. Might double as TomboyishName. |
| 437 | * HandwrapsOfAwesome: Never seen without them. |
| 438 | * JerkassHasAPoint: She wasn't wrong about Alya being in constant danger by Akuma victims. |
| 439 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Nora is unbelievably overprotective of Alya and underestimates Nino and even Ladybug and Cat Noir, but that's only because she loves her younger sister and doesn't want anything bad to happen to her. |
| 440 | * KnightTemplarBigBrother: She takes a page out of the Gabriel Agreste parenting guide when it comes to overprotectiveness. |
| 441 | * NervesOfSteel: |
| 442 | ** In "Catalyst", [[spoiler:she beats back a swarm of Akumas without batting an eyelash, avoiding Akumatization due to her total lack of fear]]. |

| 498 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Manon has tan skin. Given her mother's light complexion, she may be biracial. |
| 499 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: In "The Puppeteer 2", she sports a PsychoticSmirk when holding a replica of Puppeteer's wand, after which Hawk Moth immediately detects her as an Akuma target and reakumatizes her into Puppeteer, implying she was actually looking forward to becoming Puppeteer again. But since she's a young child, it's possible she only wanted to ''play'' Puppeteer, or that she just [[ObliviouslyEvil sees being Puppeteer as a game]]. |

| 520 | * AmicableExes: A (possibly) non-romantic example with Jagged Stone. They used to perform together, and the way Jagged begs for "Nanarky" to come back to be his guitarist in "Desperada" is very flirty-sounding. Anarka herself doesn't want anything with Jagged, but still visibly considers his proposal for a brief moment and is actually proud that she was his "first" guitarist.

| 524 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Both her children seem to be far more mellow than she is. |
| 525 | * MoralMyopia: As part of her pirate thing, she doesn't respect law enforcement...or regulations. It turns out her houseboat breaks several regulations and lacks permits, which was only discovered because she refused Roger's request she turn her speakers down from the dangerous noise levels they were at. Her rage at getting ticketed is what makes her become Captain Hardrock, but she was the one in the wrong. |
| 526 | * ThePigPen: While she's not obviously dirty herself, she does chastise Marinette for cleaning up the boat since she apparently likes things messy, and throws all the trash Marinette picked up back on the floor. |

| 528 | ** Anarka, as in "anarchy". Doubles as a MeaningfulName, given her love of personal freedom and contempt for law enforcement. |

Her presence ultimately causes Monarch to give up on that plan entirely, as he can't neutralize Claudie without admitting to ADA that he's deceiving her. |
| 543 | * FamilyVersusCareer: Downplayed. She was forced to put her dream of becoming an astronaut on hold in order to raise Max. Now that he's a teenager who can be trusted to take care of himself for an extended period of time, she's able to pursue said dream in earnest. Even so, she states herself that she didn’t want to miss Max grow up, and is very close to and proud of her son. |

| 558 | * BenevolentAI: Markov is a polite, innocent, helpful little robot. |
| 559 | * BlueIsHeroic: His overall colour is blue and he's quite friendly. |
| 560 | * BrutalHonesty: Markov tells Ms. Mendeliev she's unreasonable for talking down to him and Max, and it's the final straw that gets him confiscated. |
| 561 | * ConstantlyCurious: As an AI that can get information by itself, Markov is always asking questions. |
| 562 | * CuteCrittersActChildlike: Though not exactly a "critter", Markov is innocent, perpetually curious, and utterly ''adorable''. |
| 563 | * CuteMachines: A tiny robot with an adorable design. |
| 564 | * DoAndroidsDream: Ms. Mendeleiev and Principal Damocles both question whether Markov, as a robot, can truly have feelings. As Hawk Moth demonstrates by Akumatizing him, the answer is a definite "yes". |

| 573 | * SchizoTech: Magical superheroes aside, the technology shown in ''Miraculous Ladybug'' is roughly equivalent to that of the real world at the time of airing. Markov is the second exception to this (after Alix's watch [[spoiler:which isn't actually an exception; it's tied to the magical superheroes, meaning Markov ''really is'' the first case]]) -- a robot who is able to fly, communicate with others, and possesses enough sentience to be akumatized.

| 575 | * WingdingEyes: His eyes can change form to shapes like hearts, question marks, or exclamation points. Of course, it's justified by him being a robot with a screen for a face. |

| 586 | * DoAndroidsDream: Like her "big brother", she has enough emotion to be Akumatized. |

| 588 | * TheExile: A self-imposed example. When she believes she has lost Claudie in space, she decides that she is a danger to humans and banishes herself to the far reaches of the universe to prevent herself from causing them any more harm. |
| 589 | * HeroicWillpower: She manages to de-Akumatize herself when she realizes that Monarch deceived her and that Claudie is still safe and sound. |
| 590 | * ImpededCommunication: {{Invoked|Trope}} by Monarch, who hacks into her system and shuts down her biometric sensors, leaving her unable to detect Claudie and making her believe Claudie has been lost in space, which makes her vulnerable to his Megakuma. |

| 618 | Alix's older brother and a young historian. |
| 619 | ---- |
| 620 | * AsYouKnow: He explains to his father about the history behind a scroll from the Louvre's Egyptian exhibit, even though Mr. Kubdel is the exhibit's director and already knows all about it, leading to some LampshadeHanging. |
| 621 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: As shown in "Kwamibuster", he seems to believe that the pyramids were alien spaceships, much to Alix's embarrassment. |
| 622 | * ConspiracyTheorist: He already had shades of this in his debut episode, but his later appearances made it more prominent; in "Kwamibuster" he's shown to believe that the Egyptian pyramids were alien spaceships, and in "Reunion" he buys into online conspiracy theories that Paris' heroes aren't as benevolent as they seem. |
| 623 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: As Marinette notes, Jalil is quick to make assumptions without thinking ahead. |
| 624 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Jalil was willing to risk his safety and father's job just to prove ''he'' was right about a spell. |
| 625 | * JerkassBall: In "Reunion", after thinking that Alix was forced to travel through time against her will and believing the social media rumours about Ladybug and Cat Noir not being as benevolent as they seem, he voluntarily helps Monarch to defeat the heroes and bring their Miraculous to him in order to return his sister in the current timeline. However, he rejects his Akuma once he finds out that all the rumours about the heroes were lies and apologizes for believing the worst about them. |
| 626 | %% * TheKlutz: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Jalil is only a ''bit'' clumsy. |
| 627 | * MeaningfulName: "Jalil" means respected, and he desires his father's respect as a young historian following in his footsteps. |
| 628 | * NotBrainwashed: In his fourth Akumatization he helps Monarch voluntarily. |
| 629 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Jalil wears circular glasses and is able to translate an ancient papyrus by himself and wants to perform the spell that is written on it. |
| 630 | * SocialMediaIsBad: In this case, it corrupts him to the point he wants to side with a magical terrorist over the heroes. |
| 631 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He shares a lot of his father's facial features. |
| 632 | * TheUnfavorite: While the French dub is clear to state that the heirloom pocket watch goes to the youngest child of the family (and thus Jalil wasn't skipped maliciously), Thomas Astruc also stated that Mr. Kubdel favors Alix because Jalil can be [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} absentminded and prone to making snap judgments]]. |

| 644 | |
| 645 | A popular rock star of whom both Marinette and Adrien are fans. |
| 646 | ---- |
| 647 | * AccentAdaptation: In the original French version he speaks with a pronounced American accent, but in the English dub he has a British accent. |
| 648 | * AmicableExes: To an extent with Anarka, who does not want anything with Jagged anymore, but still has good memories of their time together as rockstars. [[spoiler: Incidentally, Jagged is also the father of Anarka's children.]] |
| 649 | * BeYourself: Jagged Stone is shown to believe this in "Guitar Villain". He adamantly refuses his producer's insistence to copy a trendy DJ, because he prefers DoingItForTheArt and encourages Marinette to do the same with her designs.[[invoked]] |
| 650 | * BritishRockstar: The English dub takes this route with him, as he's given a British accent and he's already clearly inspired by Music/MickJagger and Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}} (the Eiffel Tower glasses he requests in his first appearance are pure '70s Music/EltonJohn). However, this isn't the case in the original French version since he has a pronounced American accent instead. |
| 651 | * DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: [[spoiler:The reason Jagged didn't try to be part of his childrens' (Luka and Juleka) lives was because he knew he would be a poor parent, considering how much he loves his rockstar lifestyle.]] |
| 652 | * DoingItForTheArt: InUniverse, this is the kind of musician he is. He couldn't care less if he's not at the top of the sales charts, as long as he gets to do his own thing. Of course, #2 is still nothing to sneeze at, which he points out to his producer. |
| 653 | * EccentricMillionaire: He leans towards this; he picks fights with his producer, has a very unique and distinct style, gives his pet crocodile baths in hotel bathtubs and so on. |
| 654 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: Suggested to be genuinely fond of Marinette after quite liking her design work for him. |
| 655 | * {{Keet}}: He's wild and loves to be entertained. |
| 656 | * LargeHam: Extremely extroverted and bombastic, Jagged tends to dominate any scene he's in. |
| 657 | * LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: "Truth" reveals that he is Juleka and Luka's dad]]. |
| 658 | * NiceGuy: While he starts out pretty rough in his debut episode, Jagged is very humble and friendly for a famous rocker. When Marinette brings him an album cover concept that isn't very artistic but similar to what his manager--who's more interested in money than artistic integrity--would like, he realizes that his manager told Marinette that he wanted something like that and politely asks her to make another one by following her own instincts. |
| 659 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His name is likely a reference to Music/{{The RollingStones|Band}} lead singer Music/MickJagger, while his appearance borrows a lot from Creator/JohnnyDepp (who is Stones-adjacent, via his longtime friendship with Music/KeithRichards.) |
| 660 | * OlderThanTheyLook: According to Bob Roth in "Lies", Jagged lies about his age, implying he's much older than he actually looks. [[spoiler:"Truth" reveals that he's old enough to have two teenage children.]] |
| 661 | * PunnyName: His name is a pun on the genre "Hard Rock" while also calling back to Music/MickJagger and Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}. His assistant's last name is '''Rolling''', furthering the reference. |
| 662 | * PutOnABus: [[spoiler: He goes on tour in Season 5 so Luka has an excuse to skip town by joining him]]. |
| 663 | * ShipperOnDeck: In "Troublemaker", after accidentally entering Marinette's room, he sees her pictures of Adrien and realizes she has a crush on him and Jagged even considers it ''sweet''. |
| 664 | * RockIsAuthenticPopIsShallow: He certainly thinks so. In his words: |
| 665 | -->'''Jagged Stone''': I'm a ''real'' rock n roller. Not some pop star in diapers! |
| 666 | * TheRockStar: Has the typical look and popularity, but the show refrains from portraying more adult aspects of the trope (eg. SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll). |
| 667 | * TookALevelInBadass: In "Recreation", he, Luka and Penny Rolling [[spoiler: fight back against the miraculized soldiers alongside Su-Han to protect Marinette and Adrien's friends as members of the Miraculous Order.]] |
| 668 | * TookALevelInKindness: Jagged's initial appearance is a rather negative impression that makes him seem entitled and unreasonable, being very surly that Mayor Bourgeois unsurprisingly doesn't get how to provide for a crocodile and Marinette (a mere fourteen-year-old girl) didn't provide him with a very specific set of glasses he wanted. After she succeeds in making them for him and in subsequent episodes, he's clearly more grateful and not just self-absorbed by being thankful for Marinette and Penny's work and noticing Marinette's first album cover probably wasn't [[BeYourself her own direction]]…but still keeping it consistent that his tastes are a bit eccentric ("Troublemaker" has Penny having to ask about getting a polar bear to serve his breakfast on). |

| 675 | ---- |
| 676 | * AllAnimalsAreDogs: When he is not helping Jagged Stone threaten somebody, he behaves like a dog. He pants, wags his tail, likes getting his belly-scratched, etc. |
| 677 | * AngryGuardDog: When Jagged Stone is pissed at his manager, Fang will grow menacingly at him, keeping him at a distance from his client. Against Pixelator, he may as well be a house-cat given how useless he is at it. |
| 678 | * IncompetentGuardAnimal: Fang behaves less like the swamp predator that he is and more like a pet dog, wagging his tail, panting with his tongue hanging out, having his belly scratched and so on. In "Pixelator", he consistently act like a lovable pet, so when the titular villain Pixelator breaks into Jagged's hotel room with the intent of kidnapping him, Jagged tries to have Fang attack him, only for the crocodile to roll over, wanting a belly-rub. |

| 690 | ** She's only beleaguered in that she has a lot of work to do as Jagged's assistant, though. As also shown in "Troublemaker", Jagged does value her, repeatedly mentioning he'd be lost without her. |
| 691 | * BerserkButton: Obsessive fans, if her reaction to [[LoonyFan Vincent Aza]] is any indication. |
| 692 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: |
| 693 | ** You don't want to see her angry side, especially when it comes to any obsessive fans like Vincent Aza. She threatens to break his camera if he keeps bugging Jagged. |
| 694 | ** In fact, make her stressed and she'll lose her cool with anyone, such as Bob Roth and Alec Cataldi. |
| 695 | * CharacterTics: Tends to click her pen when frustrated. |
| 696 | * ExtremeDoormat: In "Troublemaker", she goes out of her way to solve everyone's problems, eventually causing her to be Akumatized. |
| 697 | * GirlFriday: She has to handle much of the business side of the music, while balancing the corporate-minded Bob's demands with Jagged's vision. |

| 715 | * BaldOfEvil: He's a total jerk and he has no hair on top of his head. |
| 716 | * ColorMotifs: Gold, fitting his greed. He wears a gold ring, a gold necklace, a belt with a gold buckle, and sunglasses with yellow lenses, he has yellow eyes, both his akumatized forms have golden skin and teeth, Moolak has gold hair and sits in a gold safe which fires yellow lasers that turn people into gold coins, Bob's second supervillain identity is named ''Gold'' Record, and Gold Record wears shiny, gold clothes and uses a golden record as a weapon, which can transform people into records in a flash of yellow light. |
| 717 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Holds a fake contest to gather bands' material, specifically so XY can rip it off. When called on it, he tries to hide behind his connections. |
| 718 | * DirtyCoward: At one point in "Silencer", when Silencer tries to steal his voice, Bob uses Ladybug as a human shield and then abandons her to make his escape. |
| 719 | * EngineeredPublicConfession: Ladybug and Cat Noir trick him into one in “Silencer” by filming him with a TV camera while he’s gloating to Luka about how he’s going to get away with stealing Kitty Section’s song and costume design. |
| 720 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Even though Bob’s a greedy jerk, he seems to care about his son, XY, and helps him with his music career. |
| 721 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: In “Migration”, he’s baffled why Luka would refuse to abandon his friends and choose them over wealth and fame. |
| 722 | * EvilGloating: He ''loves'' doing this. In “Silencer”, he gloats to Marinette and Luka about stealing their band’s song and costume design, and gloats at Luka after Ladybug has de-akumatized him and thwarted his plot to expose his plagiarism (which backfired on him, because he was on live TV). And in “Migration” he gloats at Kitty Section after he tricks them into signing his contract which forces Luka to work for him and completely screws the rest of them over. |
| 723 | * EvilOldFolks: He’s a slimy, moneygrubbing jerk, and based on his male-pattern baldness and grey hair, clearly not a young man. |
| 724 | * ExecutiveMeddling: InUniverse, he tries to push Jagged closer to the trends of the current pop scene, which of course annoys Jagged. |
| 725 | * FatalFlaw: His tendency for EvilGloating blows up in his face in "Silencer" when Ladybug and Cat Noir film his confession to expose his plagiarism. |
| 726 | * FatBastard: He’s mean, greedy, and has a noticeable gut. |
| 727 | * {{Greed}}: Starting in season three, Bob's fixation on money has grown more prominent, even informing his akumatized form in "Ephemeral". |
| 728 | * HateSink: He’s a smug, greedy, lying crook of a businessman who will break the law and ruin people’s lives to make a profit. |
| 729 | * ILied: In “Migration”, when trying to convince the kids he’s changed his ways, he earnestly admits he was lying in “Silencer” when he promised them their own record deal. He once again offers them a record deal and after they sign his contract, he smugly admits that he lied ''again''. |
| 730 | * JerkassHasAPoint: In “Migration”, he was right that the kids should’ve been careful and read his contracts before they signed them. He also wasn't wrong about Ladybug's Magical Charms being worthless by the time he got one. |
| 731 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: |
| 732 | ** While he's abrasive and moneygrubbing, he genuinely believes that it's the best way to help Jagged... until "Silencer", where he plagiarizes Kitty Section's song for XY's use, and then mocks Luka and Marinette when they call him out. |
| 733 | ** In "Migration", he convinces Kitty Section to sign contracts to work for him, only to turn around and fire three of them because he really only wanted to sign Luka. Plus, the contracts state that they cannot form another band (even after being fired), so he's really just killing Ivan, Juleka, and Rose's careers outright without benefitting them in any way. No wonder Luka was nearly akumatized over that stunt. |
| 734 | * LargeHam: Bob can be loud and over-the-top. In “Ephemeral”, he bursts into tears over losing a ''penny''. |
| 735 | * {{Nepotism}}: Goes out of his way to help XY, who is his son. |
| 736 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Tries to sway Jagged toward pursuits that he believes will make him more money. Penny usually has to balance them out. |
| 737 | * PlagiarismInFiction: He causes the conflict of "Silencer" when he rips off Kitty Section's song and video for XY's use, which gets Luka Akumatized. |
| 738 | * {{Pride}}: Bob’s secondary vice, next to his greed. |
| 739 | -->'''Bob:''' Bottom line is that Bob Roth Records cannot afford to be #2 in sales or rep. a #2 rock star! |
| 740 | * RealMenWearPink: He wears a pink shirt. He also briefly wears pink scuba goggles in “Migration”. |
| 741 | * ShoutOut: His name may be a reference to Canadian producer Bob Rock. |
| 742 | * SmugSnake: He loves to rub it in people’s faces when he thinks he’s beaten them. In “Silencer”, he gloats to Marinette and Luka about stealing their band’s song and costume design, and gloats at Luka after Ladybug has de-akumatized him and thwarted his plot to expose his plagiarism (which backfires on him as he was on live TV). And in “Migration” he gloats at Kitty Section after he tricks them into signing his contract which forces Luka to work for him and completely screws the rest of them over. |
| 743 | * TookALevelInJerkass: While abrasive and money-minded in the first two seasons, he never sank so low as to plagiarize another artist (not that [[NiceGuy Jagged]] would have accepted it) as he does in the third season. |
| 744 | * TrivialTragedy: In "[[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS04E22Ephemeral Ephemeral]]", he is devastated enough to be akumatized over accidentally dropping a ''single penny'' into a sewer grate, despite being an influential record producer with an untold amount of wealth. Though it's {{justified|Trope}} given how money-obsessed he is. |
| 745 | * UngratefulBastard: In “Silencer”, when Ladybug shows up to save him and stops Silencer from stealing Bob’s voice, he says “It’s about time!”, and then pushes her towards Silencer, telling her to get to work. He then uses her as a human shield when Silencer tries to steal his voice again, and ditches her to save himself. |

More of her titular episode is devoted to Adrien and Luka's forays into using the Snake Miraculous. By the end of her episode it is known that she is Jagged's guitarist, she ate his cereal and drank the milk that he was going to give to Fang (and so [[FelonyMisdemeanor he fired her]]...it probably makes sense that this made her upset enough to be akumatized).

| 802 | Sabrina's father, a [[UsefulNotes/LesCopsSportif policeman]]. |
| 803 | ---- |
| 804 | * AlliterativeName: '''R'''oger '''R'''aincomprix. |
| 805 | * BaitAndSwitchBoss: In "Startrain", his agitation over being forced to ignore several lawbreakers in order to take Sabrina to her field trip makes him vulnerable to an Akuma, but he calms down before it can reach him. |
| 806 | * ButtMonkey: Many of his scenes involve him being thrown about by various supervillains. |
| 807 | * ByTheBookCop: He follows the law to a T, no matter how wealthy or influential the people involved in a case are. |
| 808 | ** In "Rogercop", his refusal to arrest a girl without evidence almost costs him his job. |
| 809 | ** He also tries to be fair to people only violating things like noise ordinances, giving Anarka a warning that she'll need to turn down the volume on her speakers. But when she gets belligerent about his reasonable request, he promptly charges her with all the ''other'' regulations her houseboat was breaking. Post-Akuma, he takes her turning her speakers almost all of the way down as a sign of good faith and doesn't charge her for anything for the rest of the day. |
| 810 | ** "Mega Leech" has him slightly worse off in this regard with the mayor demanding him to arrest Ivan and Mylène for protesting which causes him to reluctantly start driving them home, until Ms. Bustier demands back to not do so and he eventually comes around to agreeing with the protesting's purpose anyway. |
| 811 | * {{Determinator}}: In "Captain Hardrock", he will ''not'' stop trying to arrest the titular Akuma, even if he is ludicrously outmatched. |
| 812 | * EconomyCast: If a scene requires a cop character, he will probably fill the spot. |
| 813 | * FirstNameBasis: Possibly - it's not quite clear if his surname is Roger or Raincomprix (Sabrina's surname). |
| 814 | * GenericCopBadges: He wears for a badge a patch with France's flag on his right arm and that's about it. If it wasn't for his cap having "POLICE" emblazoned on it, you'd never know he's an officer from looks alone. The background cops don't share that privilege, seeing that they don't sport any badges. |
| 815 | * JerkassBall: Whenever his actions are required to akumatize someone, he'll ticket them for petty reasons like ruining his mood or just because he felt like it. |
| 816 | * LawfulStupid: He occasionally prioritizes enforcing the law over his own self-preservation when he confronts people who are clearly Akumatized and capable of crushing him like a grape. Most notably, he sided with a racist ticket inspector over Sabine, whom he knows well enough to verify her citizenship. But arrests her anyway for not having her ticket. |
| 817 | * PapaWolf: When Chloé's father tries to arrest Sabrina, Roger tells him point blank to back off. |
| 818 | * PoliceAreUseless: Being a {{muggle}} cop, Roger is very rarely any help against supervillains, although he does try his best. Especially against Captain Hardrock, whom he never gives up the pursuit of [[spoiler:leading to him distracting her at an important time for the heroes.]] |
| 819 | * PunnyName: "(Ro)ger Raincomprix" is very phonetically close to "j'ai rien compris" ("I didn't understand anything"). |

| 828 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Downplayed. He is nothing but rude to Sabine, assuming she is an illegal Chinese immigrant. |
| 829 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His prejudiced actions cause the events that get Sabine akumatized into Quilin. |

| 863 | * TheBeastmaster: "Mr. Pigeon 72" reveals that even without Hawk Moth's powers, he's capable of getting his pigeon friends to do whatever he wants. He uses this to participate in a Gabriel commercial. |
| 864 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He ''pretends'' to a pigeon. |
| 865 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: He has brown hair and eyes. |
| 866 | * FriendlyEnemy: While Mr. Pigeon is not this, Xavier is frequently apologetic after being defeated and will pay for ice cream for the heroes as apologies for being Akumatized again. While Ladybug and Cat Noir find Mr. Pigeon tiring they don't extend this to Xavier himself. |
| 867 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: To pigeons [[spoiler:and rats]], specifically. He's very friendly towards them and likes to feed them in the park even though it's forbidden. |
| 868 | * {{Gonk}}: He has two bulbous, protruding eyes and teeth; when compared to the other characters, he looks especially cartoonish. |
| 869 | * HomelessPigeonPerson: While it's unknown if he is actually homeless, he does appear to be generally based on this character archetype. At the very least he has enough money to pay for ice cream for the heroes after his Akumatizations. |
| 870 | * InkSuitActor: He really looks like a cartoonish Creator/ToddHaberkorn. |
| 871 | * MeaningfulName: "Ramier" is the French word for the common pigeon. |
| 872 | * RecurringExtra: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]]. Not only is he one of the most recurring characters (background or otherwise), but by the time of the episode "Mr. Pigeon 72" he's been akumatized and turned into Mr. Pigeon (off-screen) a whopping 71 times (and the events of the episode are the titular seventy-second), [[OverusedRunningGag much to the Miraculous heroes' annoyance]]. Marinette decides to use her Guardian knowledge to end this for good by giving him an amulet that prevents Shadow Moth from Akumatizing him again… only for Shadow Moth to overcome that protection near the end of the season.

He's even Akumatized because Marinette dismissed his ice cream. |
| 934 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: André looks like he came straight out of a ''Creator/{{Pixar}}'' movie, being noticeably more cartoony than the rest of the cast. |

| 1043 | * StarCrossedLovers: Fu and Marianne became separated during the Nazi occupation of Paris; Fu fled to protect the Miraculous while Marianne stayed to resist. [[spoiler:Until Miracle Queen that is, which sees Fu pass on his role as the Guardian of the Miraculous to Ladybug and thereby loses his memory which renders him irrelevant to the conflict with Hawk Moth...and quite fortunately, [[AmnesiacResonance forgetting everything didn't stop Fu falling in love with Marianne]] [[LoveAtFirstSight nigh instantly]].]] |
| 1044 | * {{Tuckerization}}: Her name is a homage to the grandmother of Fred Lenoir, a writer for the show. And serendipitously a MeaningfulName as a reference to Marianne, the national personification of the French Republic, resurgent as a symbol of Liberty against the Nazi invaders and the Vichy regime (where her image was suppressed). |

| 1071 | * BadassBystander: He unhesitatingly throws stones at Gorizilla when he abducts Adrien, sprays some perfume in Gorizilla's nose to sabotage his tracking ability, and acts as Adrien's BodyDouble to distract Gorizilla. |

| 1103 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:He got one in "Wishmaker", where we found out that he was bullied for having afro hair. As a result, he shaved his hair and turned into a NoSympathy TV host who mocks people so he can inflict the pain he felt.]] |
| 1104 | * DistressedDude: In "Kwamibuster", the titular villain threatens to drop a safe with him inside off the roof of the TV station to lure in Ladybug and Cat Noir. Ladybug manages to save him literally ''just'' in time. |
| 1105 | * EconomyCast: Apparently, all of Paris' TV entertainment is hosted by him, with his co-worker Nadja filling for the news. |
| 1106 | * FunnyAfro: "Wishmaker" reveals that, as a child, he had a huge, dark-pink one that was even larger than him. But he was bullied for it, and thus shaved it off and became the jerkish TV host he is today. |
| 1107 | * GoodCostumeSwitch: After being de-akumatized, Alec takes a new career path of encouraging others towards self-love and living their dreams. In this new persona, he has a stage costume that's like a vibrant gold version of Wishmaker's, including a staff-like microphone and further contrasted with a voluminous blonde wig. |
| 1108 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Alec has a habit of being unintentionally insensitive to competitors, which tends to lead or at least contribute to the akumatizations of said competitors. |
| 1109 | ** His first line to Aurore in "Stormy Weather" after her loss. |
| 1110 | --->'''Alec''': Man, [Mireille] crushed you, eh? Better luck next time! …What's the big deal? You only lost by half a million votes! |
| 1111 | ** He was also rather unfair to Simon in "Simon Says". |
| 1112 | ** He seems to have learned nothing in "Kwamibuster". |
| 1113 | * JerkassRealization: Alec realizes that the reason he was akumatized was that he made a career of tearing people down out of pain from when the same was done to him as a child. |
| 1114 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Alec is insensitive and unsympathetic to any of his contestants that lose, but knows when to get serious when someone's life is endangered and gets along well with his co-workers. [[spoiler:Though his experiences in "Wishmaker" inspire him to turn his show into one about living your childhood dreams, thus dulling the "jerk" aspect]]. |
| 1115 | * {{Keet}}: He acts quite energetic when hosting his shows. |
| 1116 | * LargeHamAnnouncer: He presents his shows with much enthusiasm. |
| 1117 | * NoSympathy: He shows no sympathy towards the people who lose on one of his shows. |
| 1118 | * PerpetualSmiler: Always seen with a big grin on his face while on the air. |
| 1119 | * StupidEvil: Or in this case, Stupid Jerkass during "Wishmaker". The show he hosts revolves around insulting people for their professions, even though he knows there's a supervillain running amok taking advantage of people's negative emotions. [[TooDumbToLive Alec antagonizing people for no legitimate reason on live TV is just begging for an Akuma to come try to tear his head off]], and it's quite frankly a miracle he doesn't trigger an Akumatization in someone else. |
| 1120 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Partially. Even if he had no direct hand in Aurore, Simon, Wang or Ms. Mendeleiev's Akumatizations, his InnocentlyInsensitive attitude towards them certainly didn't help. |

| 1234 | * FossilRevival: She is responsible for bringing four T-Rexes back to life. "Hack-San" implies she utilized a formula developed by Markov to do it. |
| 1235 | * MadScientist: Reviving four T-Rexes is one thing. Choosing to hybridize them with pigeons so they can ''fly'' is the kind of reckless experiment that leads one to question her common sense, especially when a supervillain with the power to control pigeons exists. |

"Derision" sees Marinette having resembled her a little bit less last year due to instead wearing her hair in a bun, so Marinette may have consciously wore her hair in emulation of Socqueline thereafter. |

| 1284 | ** Though given Marinette is half Chinese and just kept running away without saying anything or making it clear she couldn't understand them, it's possible they just assumed she spoke their language and was just not responding and didn't realize there even was a language barrier until later on. |
| 1285 | * VigilanteMilitia: They call themselves the "Street Vigilantes" to explain their motives throughout the special, and clearly exhibit a sympathetic sense of priorities when they help Marinette and Fei against three thugs threatening them while audibly saying that Fei's stealing was still wrong before helping her anyway. |
