Joker's Team

Joker

Ren Amamiya/Phantom Thief Joker

Stand: W Boiled Xtreme, W Boiled Xtreme Requiem, Heaven Beyond Xtreme

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1abtxxr.png

A Speedwagon Foundation intern, Ren Amamiya witnesses the theft of the entire Joestar Collection (a collection of priceless relics connected to the Joestar clan). Realizing there is a conspiracy afoot, he becomes the Phantom Thief Joker to steal them back.

His Stand, W Boiled Xtreme (named after the song "W-B-X ~W-Boiled Extreme~" by Aya Kamiki and TAKUYA), gives him the power to control darkness.

His second Stand, W Boiled Xtreme Requiem, grants him access to the dream world, letting him walk through the minds of anyone around the world via the collective unconscious and manipulate their dreams. He can also temporarily merge the dream and real worlds.

His third Stand, Heaven Beyond Xtreme, grants him the ability to absorb light to empower its own base abilities.

Absurdly Sharp Claws: W Boiled Xtreme has razor sharp claws, which it can use to give an opponent a sharp version of the No-Holds-Barred Beatdown other physical Stands such as Star Platinum or Crazy Diamond use.
The Ace: If Duedecuple's appraisal of him is anything to go by, he's already maxed out his Social Stats before even getting into the events of Persona 5.
Adaptational Wimp: Zig-zagged. In canon, Joker is a Persona user who starts off with the Persona Arsène, which can cast shadow magic. Later on, however, he gains the ability to wield other Personas and switch between them at will, making him a Master of All. Here, he is a Stand user who only has one Stand, W Boiled Xtreme, but later upgrades it to W Boiled Xtreme Requiem using the Stand Arrow or through Akumatization, and then Heaven Beyond Xtreme when he gets Liberated while being Akumatized.
A Child Shall Lead Them: By the end of the first half, Zenigata has officially labeled Joker as the Lord of Crime, who is meant to contain and control the worst of society's ills while still being a criminal himself. Keep in mind that he's fifteen when he's given the title.
By the Power of Grayskull!: "W Boiled Xtreme! Reign in the Shadows!"
The Cameo: He briefly teams up with Jogo Higashikata during Stars Are Eternal to take care of a trio of shard bearers calling themselves the Shadow Thieves.
Contrived Coincidence: Somehow the pieces of the Joestar Collection always wind up in the hands of wrongdoers, perfect for Joker's philosophy of only stealing from criminals. He explains to Rebecca and Fujiko that it's a natural quirk of fate.
Cool Mask: He (and by extension the rest of Strike Back) eventually gets a special mask that provides an augmented reality connection to the internet, and thus better contact with Alibaba.
Crazy Enough to Work: One of his early heists has him pull one over on Lupin the Third himself. This leads Ren to try gunning for Lupin's title as the Emperor of Thieves just to see if he can pull it off.
Insufferable Genius: Averted. After missing much of his first day at Shujin Academy, many of his classmates started believing the reason for it was because he was confident or egotistical about his impressive academic skills. The truth was that he was captured and imprisoned within the overlay created by Toshiro Ishishiro's Stand, My Castle Stands, and required assistance in escaping.
Irony: His Stand's Musical Theme Naming is from a Kamen Rider series where the protagonist is a private detective, yet he is a Phantom Thief while it's his Arch-Enemy, Goro Akechi, who is the private detective.
Karmic Thief: He only steals from criminals and villains, and his reputation for it is so strong that anyone who gets a calling card from him suddenly comes under severe scrutiny, no matter how much of a Villain with Good Publicity they were before. Violet and later Strike Back as a whole follow this same philosophy.
Last Episode, New Character: He shows up in the epilogue of A Gentleman, A Thief, A King, and A Hero, in order to set up his own adventure later down the line.
Living a Double Life: While publicly he's undergoing an internship at the Speedwagon Foundation, behind closed doors he's the Phantom Thief Joker. He had originally intended to inform his company of the theft of the Joestar Collection, but Igor pointed out that would play into whoever masterminded the theft in the first place.
Mundane Utility: According to Sumire, Ren uses his ability to turn intangible to walk out in the rain without getting wet, comparing the experience to a warm shower.
Reincarnation: In this setting, he is the reincarnation of the first Arsène Lupin.

Violet

Sumire Yoshizawa/Phantom Thief Violet

Stand: Be The One, Be The One Requiem, Be One With Heaven

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kasumi_thief.png

A teenage fan of Joker's who eventually becomes his partner in crime and later his girlfriend.

Her Stand, Be The One (named after the theme song of Kamen Rider Build by PANDORA), gives her the power to control light in contrast to her partner, Ren Amamiya/Joker.

Her second Stand, Be The One Requiem, lets her trace a path towards a target, and then travel down that same path at blinding speeds.

Her third Stand, Be One With Heaven, can conjure glass constructs capable of amplifying even the smallest amount of light to blinding levels. The constructs can also, if needed, move and attack according to Sumire's will.

Adaptational Angst Downgrade: Her sister Kasumi is also a Stand user, and as such managed to survive the car accident that killed her in canon, thus meaning Sumire never got hypnotized into thinking she was Kasumi.
Ascended Fanboy: She's always been a fan of Joker's and even had a crush on him. When she stumbles across him during one of his jobs, she proves her own skill and convinces Joker to become partners.
Beyond the Impossible: When the Miraculous Hero Eagle says she can empower Violet and Joker using the Liberation ability, Violet points out that the two of them are already Akumatized by Monarch, wondering how they could possibly gain even more power beyond Requiem. Of course, Joker knows exactly how...
By the Power of Grayskull!: "Be The One! Shine Your Light!"
Crazy-Prepared: As Strike Back's resident smuggler, Sumire always makes sure to keep important items on hand.
Not So Similar: Lila tries to point out that her telling stories of her travels is the same as Ren and Sumire, but Sumire points out that they at least have told (mostly) true stories, only leaving out the parts of them being Phantom Thieves.
Supreme Chef: Not to the level of, say, Tonio or Teruteru, but Sumire is proven to have great cooking skills. This is in contrast to her sister Kasumi, who turns out to be a Lethal Chef, much to her dismay.
Technician Versus Performer: Her sister Kasumi might be a better gymnast in terms of having the fundamentals down, but Sumire is actually the better gymnastic performer.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to Lila after she returns to school that pretty much spells out that she can't get by on lying when her classmates all have achievements that blow her fake ones out of the water.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: With a dash of You Are Not Alone, as Sumire makes use of an interview with Alya to make use of both these tropes to try and reduce the amount of people Hawk Moth can Akumatize.

Alibaba

Futaba Sakura/Alibaba/Phantom Thief Oracle

Stand: Warera Omou, Warera Omou Requiem, We Think Of Heaven

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hifid5a.png

A white hat cracker that Joker employs for times when his Stand can't get him through security. She eventually joins Joker for his budding gang, Strike Back, as Phantom Thief Oracle.

Her Stand, Warera Omou (named after the theme song for Kamen Rider Ghost by Kishidan), manifests as an indestructible UFO that lets her see and hack into anything she wishes to.

Her second Stand, Warera Omou Requiem, grants the ability to absorb digital information from across an entire country, with her mind expanding in order to accommodate and comprehend it all.

Her third Stand, We Think of Heaven, grants the ability to hack reality itself. This allows Futaba to change it in any way she sees fit, as well as command and control people either via verbal commands or by controlling their Stand.

Adaptational Angst Downgrade: The people who tried to kill her mother Wakaba weren't as competent as Canon!Akechi, and wound up botching the job. This convinced Wakaba to marry Sojiro, which gave Futaba a much stabler life.
Adaptational Origin Connection: She's still the original Medjed, but unlike canon she started the group up with one other person, that being Chihiro Fujisaki.
Badass Pacifist: As Oracle she prefers to stick to information gathering, but her Stand is specced for combat if necessary, and her hacking skills make her a badass regardless.
Bilingual Bonus: Done in-universe through her Heaven Stand, We Think of Heaven. Her Stand is named after the theme song of Kamen Rider Ghost, Warera Omou, Yue Ni Warera Ari. Which translates in English to "We Think, Therefore We Are".
By the Power of Grayskull!: "Warera Omou! Hack the World!"
Disappeared Dad: She has no idea who her biological father is. For that matter, neither does her mother.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: While Alibaba's identity is played up as a secret throughout Phantom Thief Joker, anyone who's played Persona 5 is already well-aware of who she really is.
Related Differently in the Adaptation: In canon Sojiro is her adopted father. Here he's her stepfather, having married Wakaba prior to the story.
Trademark Favorite Food: Curry as usual. Especially the kind Sojiro makes.

Igor

Stand: Bleeding Secrets

Joker's primary informant and confidant, able to glean information due to existing outside the bounds of reality. He works purely from the confines of the Velvet Room.

His Stand, Bleeding Secrets (named after a JT Music song), generates red cards that can steal whatever is written on the card, including Stand energy.

Canon Character All Along: It's hinted that this is the same Igor from Persona canon, which would make sense since the Velvet Room exists beyond space and time.
Good Counterpart: His Stand can be seen as this to Whitesnake, only stealing a Stand's energy to render it dormant rather than stealing the Stand outright.
Simple Solution Won't Work: He warns Ren that he can't just let the Speedwagon Foundation know about the theft of the Joestar Collection, as the ones who stole it want that so they can claim dominance over the Joestar clan, a well-known and powerful family who has dealt with many dangerous threats. Instead, Igor recommends that Ren take action for himself using his own powerful Stand in the role of a Phantom Thief.
Spirit Advisor: He's an otherworldly being who gives Joker news and information that can be useful when pulling off a new heist. And while his words can be cryptic, Ren is intelligent enough that he can easily determine Igor's meaning.

Margaret

Stand: Toxic

A denizen of the Velvet Room and an assistant to Igor.

Her Stand, Toxic (named after a Britney Spears song), can secrete an odorless, tasteless fluid that can mimic the symptoms of intoxication when ingested.

Ambiguously Human: She has an ethereal beauty to her, but if her interactions with Dojima are any indication, her body perfectly mimics that of a human.
Call-Forward: She at one point notes that Joker should consider using a website for thieving commissions instead of relying strictly on social media. Come the next story and the Phantom Afficionado Website is set up.
Frothy Mugs of Water: Invoked. Her Stand Toxic can make any drink cause the imbiber to lose focus and become more susceptible to suggestion.
Head-Turning Beauty: She practically weaponizes her beauty in conjunction with her Stand to gain information vital to Joker's success.
I Choose to Stay: As revealed by Igor in the first chapter of Phantom Thieves Origins, Margaret chose to stay in Inaba.
Mythology Gag: She turns up to help Yu keep his cousin Nanako out of danger, acting as an advisor much like in Persona 4.

Lupin's Gang

Riko Mine

Riko Mine/Lupin IV

Stand: Live Wire

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mine_riko.png

Lupin's daughter through Fujiko, she was conceived shortly before his original death.

Her Stand, Live Wire (named after a Mötley Crüe song), lets her weaponize bio-electricity.

The Cameo: She's a character from Aria the Scarlet Ammo who already was Ambiguously Related to Lupin and Fujiko thanks to her last name and title. This fanfic just confirms that she is indeed their biological daughter.
Early-Bird Cameo: She had some early scenes in A Gentleman, A Thief, A King, and A Hero, but she becomes much more prominent here.
Generation Xerox: Much like her father, Riko quickly becomes a talented thief, and develops her father's habit of calling Zenigata "Pops".
She's All Grown Up: As an adult, her figure has filled out, much like her mother.
Someone to Remember Him By: She was conceived shortly before Lupin died.
Weather Manipulation: Her Stand gives her a minor form of this, being able to cleanse the nearby atmosphere of contaminents like smog or narcotics.

Caren Kotomine

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/caren_priestess.png

Kirei's daughter, and one of the few people he truly loves.

Big Sister Instinct: She's actually pretty close to Riko in terms of age, but she does show concern for her on several occassions.
Didn't Think This Through: When Lupin is trying to make himself dumb enough to open the Smart Safe, Caren suggests lobotomizing him... Forgetting that Rebecca isn't as keen as Fujiko to see Lupin's life threatened in any way due to not wanting to lose another lover.
It's Probably Nothing: During the heist of Harry Flowers, she can sense Joker's presence and tries firing where she can see a thicker shadow. But since Joker is intangible, the bullet hits nothing but wall and she thinks she was just being paranoid. Then Riko finishes her work...
The Jinx: During Phantom Thief Joker Part 2, she gets herself implanted with a set of Jinx Mystic Eyes, which Joker had won at an auction on the Rail Zeppelin.
Like Father, Like Son: Daughter in this case, but much like her father, Caren is a devoted follower of God, if her manifestation of the Black Keys is any indication.
Wolverine Claws: Much like her father, she learns how to create the Black Keys.

Rebecca Rossellini

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebecca1.jpg

A fashion mogul from San Morino who desires a more exciting life. She married Lupin in the hopes of achieving that life. She's briefly targeted by Joker due to possessing the Rose Brooch.

Anti-Villain: As mentioned above, a quirk of fate ensures the stolen Joestar Collection only winds up in the hands of criminals so that Joker can steal them with a relatively clean conscience. Yet Rebecca isn't one of the bad guys in the strictest sense, she simply loves a life of excitement and will do almost anything to get it.
Character Development: After going on a heist with Joker and trying to do things the Phantom Thief's way, she gained a newfound appreciation for true thievery, and by her next appearance, became a Femme Fatale on the same level as Fujiko.
Complexity Addiction: Her plan to steal the Royal Crown of Libertas was actually pretty solid, but Lupin notes that it would have been easier to just use her blood connection to the royal families of San Marino to steal the crown. To top things off, she sent a calling card with Lupin's name (which she could do since her married name is technically Rebecca Lupin), and kept the Rose Brooch on her person despite knowing that Joker was targeting her for it, all to make the heist more thrilling.
Happily Married: Unlike canon, she quickly enjoys her marriage to Lupin.
Master of Illusion: Joker eventually has her implanted with a set of Illusion Mystic Eyes, which he bought from the auction on the Rail Zeppelin.
The Rival: To Violet, as a parralel to Joker being Lupin's rival.
Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Her initial method of dealing with high-class heists, just throw around money to buy up the areas around whatever she wanted to steal. Joker points out to her that a true thief doesn't operate like that.
Second Love: Lupin is this for her, since her first boyfriend died when his research proved too valuable.
Thrill Seeker: For all that life has given her, she finds herself bored easily. Becoming a thief gives her a thrill that's too good to ignore.

Ami Enan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8pp8i67i.png

A mysterious young hacker girl who Lupin picks up to help him deal with an online target.

Affectionate Nickname: Lupin keeps calling her "Emmy", even though he knows what her real name is.
Badass Normal: Subverted. She's more of an Action Survivor, but she does have top-notch hacking skills that can even compete with those of a Stand user.
Hackette: Probably the only hacker in the world that can match Alibaba, and without a Stand of her own.
Odd Friendship: Despite being such an introvert, she bonds quickly with Sumire, especially when they reunite during Violet's first solo heist.

Detectives

Goro Akechi

Stand: Break the Chain

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goro_8.png

A skilled master detective who quickly becomes Phantom Thief Joker's rival on the police force.

His Stand, Break the Chain (named after a Tourbillon song), can manifest energy arrows that affect spatial reality itself.

Adaptational Heroism: Whereas in canon he was a dangerous killer who used the Metaverse to take out targets given to him by the Antisocial Force (especially his father), here he's the Zenigata to Joker's Lupin, an honest detective who truly wants to fight crime and make the world a better place.
Awesome by Analysis: He picks up on Joker's ability to create constructs and empower certain objects with elemental Stand energy, and manages to apply it to his own Stand to turn a toy ray gun into a deadly weapon.
Bad Powers, Good People: His Stand can literally rend apart spatial reality, yet he's a dedicated crime fighter and prefers not to kill.
The Cameo: He shows up a couple times during Stars Are Eternal.
Groin Attack: Threatens this on the Shadow Thieves if they don't spill the beans about Barbro. They start signing like canaries afterward.
Secret-Keeper: He eventually learns Joker's true identity as Ren Amamiya, but by that point, the two had become friends and while he grew to enjoy the chase against Joker, he can't bring himself to arrest Ren right off the street.
The Straight and Arrow Path: His Stand's power manifests as arrows fired from a bow, which can rip apart local spatial reality on impact.
Trademark Favorite Food: Pancakes, interestingly enough. He even gets excited when he thinks he hears someone talking about having pancakes.

Rin Tohsaka

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rin_ryuji_higurashi_cut_in.png

The heir to the Tohsaka family and adopted daughter of Kariya Matou after he married Rin's mother, Aoi. She was deputized by Zenigata to assist in dealing with Lupin now that he has a magical body as a Heroic Spirit, but she also frequently winds up running afoul of Joker as well. She's currently the Master of Archer, a.k.a. Daisuke Jigen.

Finger Gun: And one that actually fires, thanks to a spell she mastered that can launch a sphere of mana from her fingertips.
Gemstone Assault: Many of her spells use gems as a focusing point.
Great Offscreen War: She participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War, which was basically a system reset for the Holy Grail itself. As such, while she ultimately didn't win, she still has Jigen as a Servant.
Occult Detective: She's a well-trained Mage who also works as a detective, necessary for dealing with supernatural criminals like Joker or Lupin.

Agent Nyx

Stand: Cat's in the Cradle

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/de66z0mq.png

A member of MI6, and one of their most dangerous assets.

His Stand, Cat's in the Cradle (named after a Harry Chapin song), sends him into a berserker rage the moment he senses a family member being in danger.

Awesome by Analysis: While he can't see through Lupin's supernatural disguises, he has enough instinct to suspect when Lupin is right in front of him just based on behavioral patterns.
Blessed with Suck: Cat's in the Cradle enhances all of Nyx's natural abilities. But for it to trigger, his family must be put in danger, and he can't turn it off until he's aware of their safety.
The Dreaded: His Stand is so dangerous that MI6 has safeguards in place for when it goes off, just in case he goes too far.
Pragmatic Hero: As a secret agent he can be morally questionable, and will get his hands dirty if it means completing his current mission. But he is dedicated to putting away dangerous criminals.
Super-Senses: His hearing is so sharp, it could give Ibuki a run for her money.

Ryotaro Dojima

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryotaro_7.png

A local investigator from Inaba. After his partner Tohru Adachi turned out to be a murderous psychopath, now he has to deal with a copycat.

Here We Go Again!: He's aggravated when someone decides to recreate most of the events perpetrated by Adachi.
Jurisdiction Friction: Averted. He works with Akechi willingly since having a Stand user assist in the capture of another Stand user is just common sense.
Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: He's a competent police detective who keeps the peace, but he's well aware that he's out of his depth regarding supernatural criminals such as Stand users.
What Did I Do Last Night?: Margaret tried to get information out of him using her Stand, but it turns out her Stand shouldn't be mixed with actual alcohol, with Margaret implying they slept together that night. Though it's noted Dojima was a gentleman about it afterward.

Akechi Holmes

A cocky young detective who believes himself to be on the same level as the famous Sherlock Holmes. He's actually in way over his head.

Ditzy Genius: He's highly intelligent to the point where he can pull off a successful capture of Lupin, but also very gullible and tends to take things at face value.
Genre Blindness: He gets a few details about Joker wrong, thinking Joker was planning on stealing an entire statue when his real target was a heritage plaque from the statue, and believing the Joestar Collection is Joker's sole aim when it's already been established that Joker will steal from any criminal who's causing trouble for the innocent.
Genre Savvy: He is aware that Lupin is now a supernatural being that can't be contained by normal means, and thus enlists Goro and Rin to help capture him.
Master of Disguise: He was able to deceive Fujiko, herself a master actress, by disguising himself as Goemon.
One-Steve Limit: Averted, as his first name and Goro's last name are identical. It really ticks Goro off.
Underestimating Badassery: He completely underestimates Fujiko. Keep in mind, Fujiko was a criminal in Lupin's league, and even after going legit, she became a highly successful security consultant.
What the Hell, Hero?: Rin questions if Holmes is insane when he tries to blow up a bridge while Lupin and Fujiko's getaway vehicle is driving over it. Both Goro and Joker think he's insane when he targets the vehicle with a Sengoku Era cannon.

Miraculous Holders

Ladybug

Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marinette.png

A budding fashion designer who also moonlights as Paris' premier superhero.

Adaptational Origin Connection: Downplayed, but the story picks up the Miraculous Ladybug story at the start of the Volpina incident, except Marinette is hearing talk regarding Ren and Sumire instead of Lila.
Demoted to Extra: Since the story revolves around Joker rather than her, she's not really front and center even during the incidents where she's directly involved.
Everyone Can See It: Her crush on Adrien, as Alya notes. Though Adrien didn't register it until Sumire spelled it out for him.
Official Couple: With Adrien, thanks to Joker leading the former on a wild goose chase straight to her and causing the two to finally know their respective secret identities.
Super Mode: She and the other members of Team Miraculous are Akumatized by Royal Monarch to fight against Miracle Pirate, with Ladybug taking on the new name Ultra Bug.

Cat Noir

Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adrien_agreste.png

The son of a notable fashion mogul as well as a supermodel in his own right, Adrien is Marinette's crimefighting partner and eventually her boyfriend.

Adaptational Origin Connection: With the changed circumstances of the series, the situation with the Diamond Descendants is practically non-existent (especially when you consider the story was written before Season 5 of Miraculous Ladybug). Meaning Adrien is a definite case of Adaptational Species Change.
Didn't See That Coming: When he first confronted Joker (thinking he was the one who stole his father's spell book), he tries to use Cataclysm to stun Joker. But one of the universe's hard and fast rules is that only a Stand can harm another Stand, so Joker simply blocks the attack using W Boiled Xtreme. Since Cataclysm had been so effective at damaging anything physical before, the fact that this time it didn't work catches Cat Noir off-guard.
Literal-Minded: Not himself but his partner Plagg, the Kwami of Destruction. When Master Fu said Ladybug and Cat Noir could never tell anyone who they really were, Plagg thought that meant "anyone" anyone, rather than "oh, but you can tell your crimefighting partner".
Oblivious to Love: He didn't even realize Marinette had a crush on him until Sumire practically hit it over his head like a blunt hammer.
Unrelated in the Adaptation: He's shocked to learn that his cousin Felix is actually the sentient Stand of his Aunt Amelie rather than a human being.

Rena Rouge

Alya Cesaire/Rena Rouge

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alya_render1.png

Marinette's best friend and a budding reporter, she winds up as a hero in her own right after Marinette and Adrien learn each other's secret identities.

Alliterative Name: As in canon, her superhero alias is Rena Rouge.
Everything Is Online: She's noted to have at least five blogs, including her famous Ladyblog.
Proud Beauty: When Team Miraculous meets Strike Back in Hawaii, Alya gets a little offended that Mishima pays more attention to the local girls than her or the other Parisian females. Nino reminds her they're already together, but Alya basically points out that just looking doesn't count as cheating.
Official Couple: She and Nino have dating for several months.

Carapace

Nino Lahiffe/Carapace

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_static_85zoxm9xz9k400wggs4cggw4c1.png

Adrien's best friend and Alya's boyfriend, as well as a skilled DJ and director.

Genre Savvy: When Joker is reading Amelie's diary and he gets to the part that reveals her son Felix is really her Stand, My Child, Carapace whirls around with his shield out, noting that's usually the part of the movie where the bad guy turns out to be right behind the reader. His intuition turns out to be correct when Felix appears shortly after the discovery of Amelia's intent to steal the Miraculous rings of Creation and Destruction (or rather, what she thinks are two rings) to turn Felix into a bonafide human.
Lampshade Hanging: He asks Adrien why part of Gabriel's security system would include anti-personnel rockets.
Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: His main weapon as Carapace is a large shield.
Official Couple: Like in canon, Nina's girlfriend is Alya.

Queen Bee

Chloé Bourgeois/Queen Bee

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chlo_render_2.png

The daughter of the mayor of Paris and a famous fashion mogul, Chloé started off as an Alpha Bitch but eventually managed to grow into a more mature heroine.

Adaptational Heroism: Canon Chloé started off as an Alpha Bitch, became an Anti-Hero as Queen Bee, and then pulls a Face–Heel Turn by willingly letting herself be Akumatized multiple times as her worst flaws (such as her sense of entitlement) take hold of her. Here, thanks to Sumire/Violet's positive influence, she makes her Character Development early and it sticks. This leads to her permanently earning the Bee Miraculous and becoming Queen Bee by her own merit, rather than it being a mistake.
Adaptational Nice Guy: Not only does she pull a genuine Heel–Face Turn, but during Phantom Thieves Origins, she tackle hugs Zoé, showing she gets along much better with her half-sister.
Adaptational Sexuality: Unlike canon were she seemed determined to have Adrien for herself, here she discovers a bisexual side to herself and starts dating Alix.
Establishing Character Moment: Her first appearance in the second part of Phantom Thief Joker has her throwing a fit over Ren Amamiya/Joker being chosen to star in Jagged Stone's new music video instead of her, establishing her as a spoiled Alpha Bitch like her mother. However, she later makes a genuine Heel–Face Turn thanks to Sumire/Violet's positive influence and encouragement.
Oh, Crap!: When she walks in on her mother Audrey being Akumatized into Style Queen by Hawk Moth, she hurries back to her bedroom and phones her fellow Miraculous heroes about it, before transforming herself into Queen Bee.

Monarch

Lila Rossi/Monarch

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lila_rossi_square1.png

The daughter of an Italian diplomat, Lila started off antagonistic towards Ladybug out of jealousy, but eventually becomes a trustworthy hero herself.

Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Canon Lila was a selfish, dishonest, and spiteful person who constantly lied about herself to appear more important, and gradually fell deep into villainy over a grudge she developed against Marinette/Ladybug for humiliating her. Here, Lila's dishonesty stemmed from her fears of being the New Transfer Student who is overshadowed by more talented, privileged classmates in Paris, which made her feel she had to compensate. She also missed her old friends in Napoli, who fawned over her for being the daughter of a minor diplomat, and wanted the attention again.
Adaptational Heroism:
- Unlike canon Lila, who refused to learn from her own mistakes and became a villainess by continuing to act on her grudge towards Ladybug, Lila in this setting pulls a Heel–Face Turn after realizing how terrifying Akumatization can be, being given a "The Reason You Suck" Speech by Sumire/Violet, and having a heart-to-heart with Marinette. She is later chosen to be the holder of the Butterfly Miraculous, becoming the superheroine Monarch to be a Redeeming Replacement for the villainous Hawk Moth.
- In canon, Lila willingly lets herself be Akumatized on Heroes' Day so she could ruin everything for the superheroes she hated out of petty spite. Here, Lila's Akumatization came out of nowhere for her, so she ends up not knowing where she is or what she was doing until she was purified and finds herself looking at Joker and Violet, causing Lila to freak out.
Adaptational Nice Guy: Canon Lila is a Consummate Liar and Attention Whore who lies about herself to appear more important than she already is, and developed a grudge against Ladybug for humiliating her — which becomes severe enough that even after Ladybug apologizes for it, she refuses to change her ways and continues antagonizing her. Here, she lets go of her grudge after having a heart-to-heart with Marinette, Ladybug's civilian identity, and becomes more honest with others. She also becomes more concerned with helping others rather than herself, as she vows to use the Butterfly Miraculous for good once she receives it. And whereas Lila was an Abhorrent Admirer for Adrien in canon, she genuinely falls in love with Zoé and becomes her steady girlfriend.
Adaptational Sexuality: In canon, Lila was attracted to Adrien to the point of obsession, but ends up becoming an Abhorrent Admirer to him because of her dishonesty and vindictive pettiness towards Ladybug. Here, while she does start off attracted to Adrien, she later discovers she's bisexual when she falls in love with Zoé, and decides to date her instead.
Adaptational Skill: In this setting, she has a talent for designing accessories. Revealing this to Marinette becomes her first step in making a Heel–Face Turn.
Attention Whore: Deconstructed. As in canon, she thrives on attention and constantly lies about herself in order to get it, which doesn't endear her to anyone who knows the truth and/or can see through her lies. It's eventually revealed that as a New Transfer Student from Italy, she felt overshadowed by the sheer number of talented classmates at her new school, making her try to compensate for it as well as regain the popularity she had back in her home country. It took being Akumatized twice, receiving a "The Reason You Suck" Speech from Sumire/Violet, and having a heart-to-heart with Marinette for her to start improving herself and being more honest with others. Once she does, she gains friends who are willing to stick by her through thick and thin.
Bad Liar: It turns out her lies are easy to disprove, but prior to coming to Paris, she had a set of Whisper Mystic Eyes that caused anyone she looked at to believe anything she said, no matter how outrageous. They were removed by the Rail Zeppelin, and eventually ended up in Joker's hands when he bought them at the auction.
Beyond the Impossible: Like Hawk Moth, Monarch can normally create one Champion at a time unless empowered into Royal Monarch by said Champion; her go-to for this during Phantom Thieves Origins being Principal Kobayakawa/Centralizer. But the overlays created by Remnants' Stands tap into the natural ley lines of the planet and create magical seeds Nooroo can consume to expand Monarch's power. She discovers their existence after realizing that the overlay's very presence allows her to create two Champions at once.
Big Good: To contrast Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth being the Big Bad in canon, Lila becomes this once she receives the Butterfly Miraculous and becomes Monarch. In addition to being Gabriel's Redeeming Replacement, she also empowers those who have the genuine desire to do good and turns them into her heroic champions, which is the opposite of what Hawk Moth does to create villains.
Butterfly of Transformation: As the current holder of the Butterfly Miraculous, her power is Akumatization. Unlike Hawk Moth, who used it to turn people into villains, Lila uses it as Monarch to turn people into heroes, like what she did with XY, Kamoshida, and Shiho.
Establishing Character Moment: She's first mentioned by Alya as having lied in an interview about befriending and being saved by Marinette/Ladybug, which got her criticized by even YouTube celebrities like Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and Pewdiepie. This establishes her as both a Consummate Liar and an Attention Whore, though she later stops being both.
Good Counterpart: To Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth. While both started out as pretty amoral, selfish, manipulative characters, Lila turns over a new leaf thanks to Violet and Marinette, and starts being more honest. When she is given the Butterfly Miraculous by Master Fu, she vows to use it for good, becoming the superheroine Monarch who turns people into heroic champions. Meanwhile, Gabriel/Hawk Moth abused the Butterfly Miraculous by turning people into monsters as part of a long-running plan to find a way to heal his comatose wife, Emilie Agreste. His actions eventually catch up to him when Joker sends him a calling card, and while the Phantom Thieves do give him a way to finally heal his wife, he has to give up the Butterfly Miraculous in exchange.
I Just Want to Be Special: As she reveals to Marinette, she used to be the center of attention at her old school in Napoli because her mother participated in diplomatic affairs, even as a secretary. Once she moved to Paris with her mother as a New Transfer Student, she was overwhelmed by the number of students who far outclassed her in popularity and talent, which made her feel extremely insecure, causing her to lie so she could compensate for being rather ordinary in comparison to her new classmates. It's deconstructed as this nearly put her down the path of her canon counterpart, including being Akumatized into Volpina twice to kill Ladybug. The experience made her realize how terrifying Akumatization is and, along with a "The Reason You Suck" Speech from Sumire/Violet and a heart-to-heart with Marinette, starts motivating her to be a better person. She does end up being chosen for the Butterfly Miraculous, but after she decides to empower others for good rather than focusing on herself.
I Just Want to Have Friends: Deconstructed. As she reveals to Marinette, part of the reason why she lied about herself is because she missed the old friends she had back in Italy, who fawned over her for being the daughter of a minor diplomat. However, her dishonesty ends up pushing people away once they realize the truth, and her jealousy against Ladybug nearly would have pushed her close to canon Lila's villainy had Joker and Violet not intervened. Once she honestly opens up to Marinette during their heart-to-heart, she ends up gaining new friends who trust her because of her willingness to be more honest with them.
In Spite of a Nail: She still got Akumatized twice by Hawk Moth, turning her into the villainess Volpina. However, the second time it happened, she was defeated differently because Joker and Violet confronted and defeated her instead of the Miraculous heroes.
Mythology Gag: When joining Strike Back, Zoe, and Akechi at Sojiro's house, there's a sudden blackout. Lila immediately declares that she's blind as a bat, then randomly feels nostalgic at that statement. Oh hey, Pipistrello, when did you invade Monarch's mind?
- Her chosen hero name of Monarch is one Gabriel went by as a villain in Season 5 while he had possession of most of the Miraculous (save the Ladybug, Cat, and Rabbit).
Official Couple: She's currently dating Zoé/Hera's Eye.
Omniglot: She notes that she's fluent in multiple languages. Justified, since as the daughter of a diplomat that travels frequently, she'd need to know all the local languages.
Promoted to Love Interest: She ends up being Zoé's steady girlfriend in this setting due to genuinely reforming herself, when in canon it was Marinette whom Zoé was crushing on.
Sword Cane: Like Gabriel/Hawk Moth before her, she wields a classy cane sword as part of being the holder of the Butterfly Miraculous.

Hera's Eye

Zoé Lee/Hera's Eye

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zo_lee_square.png

Chloé's half-sister and Lila's girlfriend. Zoé is the holder of the Peacock Miraculous, which gives her the power of Amokization.

Adaptational Superpower Change: In canon, she replaces her half-sister as the Bee Holder due to Chloé refusing to become a better person. Here, since Chloé underwent a genuine Heel–Face Turn, Zoé instead is given the Peacock Miraculous after it's repaired.
Heroic Bastard: Like in canon, she was born outside of Audrey's marriage to Mayor André, as Audrey cheated on him with another man, making her the younger illegitimate half-sister of Chloé. Despite this, she becomes a great hero in her own right after receiving the Peacock Miraculous on Chloé's recommendations.
Meaningful Name: Like the other Miraculous holders, Zoé chose her hero name based on the animal it represented. In this case, Hera was a goddess whose animal symbol was the peacock, whose feathers she decorated with the hundred eyes of the dead giant Argus.
Mythology Gag: Season 5 of Miraculous Ladybug shows that Zoé is indeed sapphic.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Her using the cards from Bleeding Secrets to create Sentimonsters mimics the negotiation mechanic in Persona 5 used to obtain new Personas.

Supporting Characters

Hikari Fukuen

Stand: Movies

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hikari_pq2_tp.png

A frequent patron of Joker, Hikari Fukuen is also Hope's Peak Academy's Ultimate Director.

Her Stand, Movies (named after an Alien Ant Farm song), lets her pull people into any film of her choice, with said films essentially being miniature worlds that can be interacted with under certain circumstances.

Adaptational Angst Downgrade: While she went through the same troubles as her canon counterpart, she never let it get her down and was even able to find support to help push back.
Adaptational Badass: Not only is she a Stand user, she's also an Ultimate attending Hope's Peak Academy.
Daddy's Girl: She has a great relationship with her father, who was a major inspiration throughout her life.
Pocket Dimension: Any movie projected by her Stand becomes this. If it's one she directed personally, it will even be interactable.
Real Life Writes the Plot: An in-universe example, as Hikari took inspiration from certain events in her life to create her movies.
Required Secondary Powers: Despite her own movies being interactable, nothing in them can actually kill whoever is drawn in. At worst, they only get knocked back into the theater.

Yu Narukami

A resident of Inaba, he starts aiding Akechi when Angel Blue starts copying Tohru Adachi's crimes.

Badass Normal: He and his friends managed to defeat Tohru Adachi when they were teenagers, but only Adachi was mentioned to be a Stand user. This implies that the Investigation Team are completely normal humans in this setting.
Hero of Another Story: He and his friends helped bring down Tohru Adachi, a Stand using killer that was terrorizing Inaba, when they were teenagers. As it happened years before the events of Phantom Thief Joker, information about the incident mostly comes from character dialogue.
Mythology Gag: This isn't the first time Yu and Ren have met each other, having been teammates in Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth.
The Watson: He becomes this to Akechi during the Inaba arc, due to having knowledge of Adachi's crimes and who each new victim might be.

Ricardo "Ricky" Bruschetta

Stand: Break the Rules

A young student hoping to get into the mafia. He's eventually made into Passione's newest recruit.

His Stand, Break the Rules (named after a Charli XCX song), can negate Stand abilities.

Edible Theme Naming: As a throwback to Golden Wind naming conventions, his last name comes from a type of Italian grilled bread.
Foil: He takes the same test Giorno and Rarity did when they were getting into Passione, but whereas they took the test too seriously and tried to keep the lighter lit, Ricky recognizes that he can cheat at the test and decides he'll earn the gang's trust the hard way.
Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught: He recognized that since no one is actually watching him while he takes the lighter test, he can snuff it out, then just relight it before returning and saying he kept the lighter lit.
Plot Tailored to the Party: He shows up with a Stand that can negate other Stands, just as Passione needs to deal with a dognapper that happens to have a Stand which he uses to dodge legal trouble.

Dante Carpaccio

Stand: The Light

An elderly capo of Passione who plead guilty to a minor crime. He's the gang's main recruiter, much like Polpo was before him.

His Stand, The Light (named after a Disturbed song), can independently travel across the world via two light sources, provided they come from the same type of object, like two lit lighters.

Cool Old Guy: He's almost like a grandfather figure, putting new recruits at ease before showing them how the test works.
Edible Theme Naming: His last name comes from an Italian dish consisting of either meat or fish that is served raw.
Evil Cripple: He's more an Anti-Villain than outright evil, but the reason he never leaves his prison cell is because he's paraplegic and needs a wheelchair to get around.
Redeeming Replacement: Much like Polpo, he recruits new members of Passione using the effective lighter test. The difference is he refined the test so that there are no collateral victims.
Teleportation: The Light can warp between two identical light sources, such as a lighter, and bring objects with it. Dante uses this ability to see if a new recruit possesses Stand potential.

Jose

Stand: Wish Upon A Star

A mysterious young boy with a facination for Stand users.

His Stand, Wish Upon A Star (named after the song "When You Wish Upon A Star" by Cliff Edwards), works differently depending on the emotional compatibility of two Stand users. If they are close friends or lovers, Jose's Stand will allow them to unleash a powerful combination attack. If the two Stand users despise each other, whichever Stand user is the least pure of heart will find their Stand becoming faulty.

Ambiguously Human: Joker and Violet note that his face looks too cartoonish to be truly human.
Cool Car: The form his Stand takes, dispensing special stars that two emotionally close Stand users can use to unleash a powerful combined attack.
One-Steve Limit: Averted, as one of the side-villains in the story is also called Jose. Lampshaded by Joker when Lupin contacts him about it.

Dolma Sinha

The princess of Padar, first encountered by Violet and Emi while the former is on a solo heist.

Anti-Villain: She's subtly convinced by Lupin and Riko to play the role of a villain in order to save her country from corruption.
Commonality Connection: She quickly finds herself becoming friends with Emi and Sumire due to similar circumstances in their background.
Contrived Coincidence: She gets wrapped up in a terrorist plot where she and several other girls are kidnapped to ransom for the release of several other terrorists. Whether the ringleaders knew she's a princess or not is up for debate.

Wang Fu

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/master_fu_origin_p1.png

A Guardian of the Miraculous, albeit incompletely trained. He was the one who gave the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses to Marinette and Adrien.

The Chooser of the One: He's the one who hands out the Miraculouses to those that are worthy.
Closest Thing We Got: After the accident that destroyed the temple of the Order of Guardians, what few Guardians remained agreed that Fu's incomplete training would have to suffice.
Excellent Judge of Character: Incomplete training or not, Fu does have the right insight into a person's character to know whether or not they are worthy of a Miraculous.
Really 700 Years Old: He's actually 186 years old despite only looking to be in his late 60s at worst. This is due to having a healthy lifestyle.
Taught by Experience: He had to pick up the rest of his Guardian training on the fly, since he accidentally destroyed the temple where he was supposed to be trained.

Soundwave

Xavier-Yves "XY" Roth/Soundwave

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gv_lq_188.png

A famous pop musician and the son of music producer Bob Roth. He becomes Lila's first Akumatized champion as Monarch, with the Akuma in XY's vanity pendant.

Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Unlike his canon counterpart, he privately knows that his fame as a musician is all thanks to his father and deeply resents being controlled by the latter musically. Monarch arriving and turning him into Soundwave gives him the chance to branch out and strike back.
Adaptational Heroism: In canon, he was entirely compliant in his dad's plagiarism. Here, he wants to make his own original works, but he is deeply frustrated with his father constantly shutting him down in favor of using works from others.
Composite Character: Here, while his core character as a popular yet spoiled DJ remains the same, he also has traits from Lúcio from Overwatch. His powers as Soundwave after his Akumatization are similar to Lúcio's, as not only can he buff and heal his allies through music, but he can also use sonic pulses for both offensive and defensive purposes, and ride along walls with a specialized pair of electromagnetic skates. He also, like Lúcio, opposes a corrupt company whose business practices ruined many lives — in this case, the corrupt company he opposes is his own father's. He also has Luka's canon role of being Akumatized, though in this case, the one Akumatizing him is a superheroine empowering him to become a hero so he could follow his own dreams.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: He is blond, but unlike his canon counterpart, who was completely on board with his father's musical plagiarism, he became an Akumatized hero to both stop his father's schemes and get back at him for not letting him branch out as a musician.
Hates Their Parent: Unlike his canon counterpart, he privately hates his dad for being the source of his success yet suppressing his musical talent on the reasoning that his creations won't "sell to the public". It's his anger that attracts Lila/Monarch to him, leading to his Akumatization.
XY: Stupid dad! I could make my own stuff if I really wanted to! But no, it wouldn't sell to the public! Well Jagged Stone makes all his own music and he's the number one chart topper! It was only because of you that I was able to temporarily dethrone him, Daddy Dearest!
Heel–Face Turn: He decides to betray his father and help both the Miraculous heroes and the Phantom Thieves take him down as Soundwave once his resentment over being musically stifled comes to a head.
Make Some Noise: In addition to boosting other people's speed and health via music, he can emit sonic pulses for either offense or defense.
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: He is completely fed up with Bob Roth's abuse, resenting how his father treats him as a source of income yet constantly keeps him from making his own songs. When Lila/Monarch arrives with an offer to be a hero, he takes it. His presence as Soundwave causes his father's downfall as he aids the Miraculous heroes in fighting off Bob Roth's PMC forces, enabling Joker and Violet to apprehend Bob Roth and steal the Stonemarket Clock Tower plaque.
Mythology Gag: He serves as a reference to Luka Couffaine's canon Akumatized form, Silencer. Both were musicians who were hurt by Bob Roth's plagiarism, which led to their empowering by wielders of the Butterfly Miraculous. However, their motives and powers completely contrast each other, with Silencer stealing other people's voices in his Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Bob Roth, while XY became Soundwave to both express himself and vent his hidden frustrations against his father.
Nepotism: Deconstructed. He's a popular DJ and musician thanks to his father's job and connections as a music producer... but at the same time, his father constantly stifles his ideas in favor of plagiarizing other musicians for profit. This leaves him deeply resentful of his father in private, which leads to his Akumatization as Lila/Monarch noticed his anger and gave him the opportunity he needed to branch out.
Rollerblade Good: As Soundwave, he wears a specialized pair of electromagnetic skates that lets him ride along walls.
Wall Run: Like Lúcio, he can ride along walls with a specialized pair of electromagnetic skates.

Uncanny Valley & Sparrow

Aeon Hill/Uncanny Valley & Jessica Keyes/Sparrow

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/descarga_21.jpg

Aeon Hill

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jessica_keynes.png

Jessica Keyes

Best friends who act as sidekicks to Majestia and Knightowl respectively. During the battle against Techno Pirate in New York, Aeon is Akumatized by Monarch into Cyber-Tech, with the Akuma in her power core. During the same incident, Jessica is given the Eagle Miraculous, though she hasn't yet given herself a new hero name.

Empowered Badass Normal: Jessica has no superpowers, but is a skilled fighter with a plethora of gadgets. Then she's given a Miraculous with the power of Liberation.
Legacy Character: Jessica is one of several people over the years to take on the role of Sparrow, with her adopted mother being the most recent before graduating to Knightowl.
Ridiculously Human Robots: Aeon certainly fits the trope, though not as well as Keebo or Aigis.
Sidekick: Uncanny Valley is Majestia's sidekick, while Sparrow is Knightowl's sidekick.
Small Role, Big Impact: Jessica only shows up for one chapter, but it turns out she gave Joker several feathers from the Eagle Miraculous in case he ever needed to use the power of a Heaven Stand again.
Super-Empowering: As Cyber-Tech, Aeon gains the ability to upgrade Monarch into Royal Monarch with the power of the people's hope.
Wrong Genre Savvy: When Aeon learns the Eagle Miraculous' power is Liberation, she doesn't think it's so bad... Until Knightowl points out such a power can remove a person's inhibitions, including their moral code.

Duedecuple

A djinn who manages the Juni Taisen every twelve years. He offers a challenge to Joker for the location of the final Joestar Collection piece. The prize he offers is The Repulsion of Civility.

Benevolent Genie: When he grants a wish to the one who wins the Juni Taisen, he does so with no strings attached. After all, they've earned it.
Competitive Balance: He largely offers the challenge to Joker so that the Juni Taisen can be more up in the air in regards to who might win.
Exact Words: He's promised any of the death-row inmates being used for points their freedom if they can kill one of the Zodiac Assassins. Of course, doing so is easier said than done.
I Gave My Word: Djinn are obligated to keep to any promise they make, and Duedecuple is no exception.
Mythology Gag: When he addresses Joker formally, he calls him erudite, debonair, angelic, lionhearted, and transcendant. The max levels of the five Social Stats in Persona 5.

Zodiac Assassins

Theater Villains

Nagi Naegi

Stand: Days of Old

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nagi_pq2.png

The Arc Villain of the Hikari's Theater storyline, Nagi Naegi is a rival theater owner seeking to drive Hikari Fukuen out of business. She holds the Hydrangea Brooch.

Her Stand, Days of Old (named after a V-Stylez song), can create a dimensional overlay in the form of a large multi-theater that provides both entertainment and food for customers as long as they have a movie ticket.

Adaptational Species Change: Goes from being a god-like entity to a Stand using human.
Adaptational Wimp: Played with. Her Stand is no different from the labyrinths of her canon game, but she herself is just a human with no additional forms and nothing to protect her should something be powerful enough to bypass her Stand.
Alliterative Name: Her Adaptational Name Change, Nagi Naegi.
Evil Is Petty: She called in all those criminals just because she thought Hikari was an upstart who had no respect for movie nostalgia.
Irony: Her prefered "classic" movies are B-movie schlock that wouldn't look out of place on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Not Helping Your Case: She hated that another theater gave Hikari a better deal than her because it made her look petty. Said deal involved her overcharging for tickets to Hikari's movies because she thought they were garbage, and afterwards she goes to great lengths to try and get the theater shut down. Plus all her ranting is about classic movies that aren't soap opera driven.

Tomura Shigaraki

Stand: Kryptonite

A man who hates Stand users, and wishes to rid the world of them. His collection piece is the Voice Box.

His Stand, Kryptonite (named after a 3 Doors Down song), can temporarily negate Stand abilities via direct or indirect touch.

Boomerang Bigot: He wishes to rid the world of Stand users despite being one himself.
Dramatically Missing the Point: He gets sucked into Hikari's movie Lunar Woman and is enraged that the titular heroine turned away from being a Knight Templar, thinking she was doing it right before.
Irony: His Stand manifested as a response to his desire to remove Stands from the world, but it can't permanently remove Stand power.
Logical Weakness: He needs to make direct contact with a Stand user to shut down their Stand, so simply staying out of his reach and using a long-range Stand will suffice to shut him down.
Shout-Out: He's named after one of the main villains of My Hero Academia.
The Magic Touch: He can shut down a Stand for five minutes by touching a Stand user directly (it doesn't need to be skin contact).

Joffrey Matthews

Stand: Jurassic Park

A paleontologist who criticizes one of Hikari's movies for not being "scientifically accurate" to real dinosaurs. He was given The Mechanical Hand.

His Stand, Jurassic Park (named after a "Weird Al" Yankovic song), can recreate living dinosaurs using fossil bones.

Artistic License – Paleontology: Not himself, since he summons his dinosaurs from actual fossils and thus they're more scientifically accurate. Rather, he accuses Hikari of doing this in her dinosaur movie Mesozoic Island.
Comically Missing the Point: He decries the movie Mesozoic Island for not being accurate to real dinosaurs... Despite the fact that it's meant to be a fantasy movie and thus doesn't need to reflect reality.
Invisible to Normals: The dinosaurs he summons can't be seen without supernaural affinity, which is good since he's first introduced walking around with a velociraptor (which would surely freak everyone out).
The Minion Master: His Stand can take actual dinosaur fossils and recreate whatever creature they came from. It's not necromancy since he's not bringing the fossils back to life, but rather creating a brand new being.
Shout-Out: The dinosaurs he summons are all ones that have been featured in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.
Undying Loyalty: The dinosaurs he creates are permanently loyal to him, no matter what their disposition in nature.

Hinomori Iruma

Hinomari Iruma

Stand: Virtual Insanity

A genius inventor who thought Hikari's sci-fi movie was illogical in its use of science. His collection piece is What is There Cannot be Seen.

His Stand, Virtual Insanity (named after a song by Jamiroquai), lets him alter gravitational attraction to literally walk on walls.

Comically Missing the Point: He calls a sci-fi movie illogical, completely forgetting the "fi" in sci-fi stands for "fiction".
Evil Uncle: Not so much "evil" as "criminal", but Joker explains that Hinomori is actually the uncle of Miu from Jojolion. Guess genius runs in the family.
Jerkass Has a Point: He's rude to anyone he thinks is being illogical in their use of science, but he's compeletely right that the concept behind the "Smart Safe" Lupin is dealing with elsewhere has no scientific basis, since it can only open when a person is exhibiting 0 brain power (which you don't need to be a brain surgeon to know is biologically impossible).
Logical Weakness: His Stand can only really work for solid objects, which have a greater gravitational attraction than gas or liquid. The object also needs real mass and density.
Wall Crawling: Wall-walking even, and the ceiling too.

Taro Fukuen

Stand: Friday

Hikari's uncle, who dislikes her becoming a movie director. He holds The Arrogance of Nobility.

His Stand, Friday, is named after a song by Rebecca Black. It fires beams that force a state of normalcy on whatever they hit, but relative to the current dimension.

Appeal to Authority: His ideology is that someone in charge must always be right, and to argue against them is wrong.
Bait-and-Switch: Him taking umbrage with Hikari being named the Ultimate Director has nothing to do with disliking her choice of occupation. Since his brother, Hikari's father, is a projectionist, Taro actually expected Hikari to take an interest, considering that normal. What he hated was that Hikari was somehow able to learn advanced cinematography from watching only a few movies, which he thought was not normal.
Fatal Flaw: His view on reality, and how it's based on his own perception. Which means that when he's trapped in what is essentially a pocket dimension with its own rules on what is "normal", he gets frustrated because his Stand comes off as useless.
Hate Sink: Let's just start with the fact that his Stand is named after arguably the most notoriously bad song on YouTube and go from there.
Loophole Abuse: Implied. Since Stands are a part of the world, you'd think Friday couldn't affect them, but Joker and Violet aren't keen to test that.
