Trivia / Rise of Mariposa

• Outdated by Canon: This fic was finished a few days before Season 2 first aired, and it makes several assumptions that would contradict canon:
  • In this fic, Gabriel Agreste and Hawkmoth are two different individuals. The Season 2 Premiere "The Collector" would reveal that they're one and the same.
    • Relatedly, Hawkmoth's lair appears to be inside some remote warehouse, while in canon, it's under Gabriel's house
  • The Butterfly Miraculous works in a different way than canon:
    • It grants its wielder the power to control/summon butterflies. In canon, it was shown that Hawkmoth has to breed and collect the butterflies himself
    • The transformation isn't undone after five minutes once its special power has been used. The reason Hawkmoth doesn't detransform after using his special power is because he has a greater mastery over his miraculous than Marinette and Adrien have over theirs.
    • Akumatization can be refused, and it's explained why it never happens due a combination of akumatization victims being at their lowest, and not realizing what they're getting into. In canon, Akumatization can be resisted, but it's incredibly hard to do so, and many characters have succumbed to it despite knowing what was going on. So far, only one character in the entire series has been able to resist akumatization.
  • In this fic, Adrien's Missing Mom is named Ariel, and is alive and well. In canon, it was eventually revealed that her name is Emilie, and she's either dead, or in a death-like comatose state.
