Don't blink now, 'cause we are live from Paris. Yo peeps, Alya here, bringing you the one and only Ladyblog.

—Alya, "The Pharaoh"

Click here to see quotes from Alya Césaire.

Alya Césaire[15] is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Nino Lahiffe) of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. She is also the deuteragonist of Miraculous World: Paris - Tales of Shadybug & Claw Noir. She is a former student in Miss Bustier's class at Collège Françoise Dupont, Marinette Dupain-Cheng's best friend, and Nino Lahiffe's girlfriend. She is also the only admin of the Ladyblog and head of the school blog.

In "Lady Wifi", after Alya got suspended from school because of Chloé Bourgeois, she got akumatized by Hawk Moth and became Lady Wifi, a supervillain whose powers came from her smartphone and its Wi-Fi signal.

In "Sapotis", after her younger twin sisters are akumatized into the titular villain, Alya receives the Fox Miraculous from Ladybug. When the Miraculous is inhabited by Trixx, Alya becomes Rena Rouge[16], a red fox-themed superhero who helps Ladybug and Cat Noir "during particularly difficult missions" in the second season and beyond.[17][18][19]

In "Mayura", during the fight with Scarlet Moth, while trying to protect Carapace from one of Dark Cupid's arrows, Rena Rouge was akumatized into Rena Rage, a red fox-themed supervillain.

In "Oblivio" due to her and Nino's embarrassment at being caught playing the Super Penguino video game together, she, alongside Nino, were both akumatized into Oblivio, a memory-erasing supervillain.

In "Félix", after being fooled by Félix to think that Adrien didn't appreciate his friends, she was re-Akumatized into Lady Wifi, and, alongside Reflekta and Princess Fragrance, the three supervillains formed the Punishers Trio, a group of supervillains who wanted to get revenge on Adrien, later Félix.

In "Gang of Secrets", after Marinette kept hiding secrets from her and the group, Alya was reakumatized by Shadow Moth into Lady Wifi alongside Reflekta, Princess Fragrance, Timebreaker, and Horrificator. The five supervillains all formed the Gang of Secrets, a group of supervillains who wanted to reveal Marinette's secrets. Since then, Alya through Marinette finds out that she's Ladybug.

As of "Optigami" she is now a permanent holder of the Fox Miraculous. She also becomes Marinette's presumptive successor for the ownership of the Miracle Box.

During the events of "Sentibubbler", she creates an illusion of Ladybug, which claims that Alya would no longer use the Fox Miraculous, allowing Alya and her family to be freed from any future threats from Shadow Moth. This forces Alya to only use her Miraculous behind the scenes, at least until Shadow Moth is defeated.

In "Hack-San", Alya received the Ladybug Miraculous from Marinette when the latter needed to temporarily leave Paris with her parents to celebrate her aunt's birthday. When Robostus, together with the titular sentimonster, started wreaking havoc, she used the Miraculous, when inhabited by Tikki, to turn into Scarabella, a ladybug/scarab-themed superhero.

As of "Rocketear", after putting herself in a position where her hero persona could no longer be seen in public and where she could only assist her allies from the shadows, her costume changed and she decided that she was known as Rena Furtive, an arctic fox-themed superhero.

In "Strikeback", Alya willingly renounced herself after taking too many risks thanks to the effects of Risk and Carapace accidently exposing her in front of Shadow Moth while protecting her from Strikeback, as well as telling the truth to Nino about her being Rena Furtive, she returned the Fox Miraculous to Ladybug.

In "Miraculous Paris", after Betterfly kamikotized the Alya Césaire of his universe into Ubiquity, Alya was indirectly kamikotized as well, as Ubiquity's power allowed her to connect herself with any of her counterparts in all the multiverse. Later on, she was rekamikotized by Betterfly into Ubiquity so they could deploy Ladybug's plan to defeat Monarch, Shadybug and Claw Noir, with her transformation being undone by Monarch, with that serving as a ploy to mislead the supervillains about the existence of another kamikotized superhero. After Shadybug and Claw Noir were convinced to become superheroes, Betterfly kamikotized Alya into Ubiquity for the third time to open a portal back to their universe. However, due to Monarch using Sublimation to travel to other universes to get the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses from other versions of the heroes, Betterfly was forced to dekamikotize her and kamikotize Ladybug instead. She was then kamikotized a fourth time to really open a portal for them.

In "Transmission", in order to allow Marinette to be free to love Adrien, Alya was chosen by Tikki to temporarily wield the Ladybug Miraculous, thus becoming once more the superhero Scarabella.

In "Deflagration" after her secret identity as Scarabella was discovered by Monarch, he formulated a plan to take her Ladybug Miraculous, forcing her to give the Miraculous back to Marinette.

In "Revelation", after Alya was removed from Hoaxer's control by Marinette, she temporarily received the earrings as part of Marinette's plan to stop Hoaxer, once again becoming Scarabella.

In "Re-creation" after Marinette recovers the stolen Miraculous and reforges them following Monarch's defeat, Alya is given back the Fox Miraculous permanently and reunites with Trixx.

From "Sentibubbler" and onwards, Alya wears a fanny pack around her waist with the same color as her shirt to hide Trixx, and her fox miraculous underneath her shirt, from the public eye.

As Rena Rouge

AC-RR

When transformed, Rena Rouge's hair turns longer, becomes a three-tone ombré, having the roots turn reddish-brown/brilliant vermilion, mixing to orange with the tips being white, and she wears her hair back into a high ponytail with an orange headband. Her body appears slimmer than her civilian form. The top layer of Rena Rouge's jumpsuit, akin to an orange swan necked-overcoat with a black part on her neck, white front and black arms and, gloves up to the middle of her upper arms. The overcoat layer attaches down the vertical front center with a zipper, and the Fox Miraculous becomes the zipper. The overcoat also has a long fox tail-like coattail that ends a bit below her knees at a sharp white tip. The bottom layer of her suit is orange with a white center on the front of the body and black legs starting at a point in the middle of her upper legs. She also wears black boots with orange soles and black fox paw print markings. Rena Rouge wears an orange mask with a white bottom half and a black mark above each eye that resembles eyebrows. Two orange fox ears with white insides, black tips, and black edges are attached to the top of her head. She attaches her flute diagonally on her back when it's not being used.

As Rena Furtive

Rena Furtive had the same appearance as Rena Rouge except for having blue hair with her outfit having a blue camouflage print design, along with pale, light grayish cornflower blue eyes.

As Scarabella

As Scarabella, Alya wore a turtlenecked brilliant red zip-up tailcoat with black polka dots. Underneath, she wore a black skin-tight superhero jumpsuit with brilliant red accents giving the appearance of elbow-length fingerless gloves, short shorts, and thigh-high boots with black spots and soles.

As Rena Rage

In "Mayura", Rena Rage had the same appearance as her superhero counterpart except for being red all over without the pattern she had on her superhero counterpart, and her flute being black, owing to her having been taken over by a Scarlet Akuma. Her appearance resulting from a regular Akuma is unknown.

Personality

Stormy Weather (548)

Alya entertains Manon with a story.

Alya is rather energetic, passionate, funny, confident, adventurous, yet down to earth. Her foresight has come in handy many times such as posting her video of Ladybug on her blog first, before showing it to Marinette on her cellphone, mindful that something might go wrong knowing how clumsy her friend is. When it comes to anything involving Ladybug and Cat Noir, she easily becomes very excited and has a single goal of updating her blog quickly, such as when she is kidnapped by the Pharaoh to be a sacrifice yet still records herself and live streams the video on her blog. Sometimes, she goes too far, such as spying on Chloé's locker in an attempt to find out if she is Ladybug, which results in her getting punished by Denis Damocles.

Alya doesn't like being undermined or doubted by others, especially when it comes to her work. If someone points out something wrong to her, she is too stubborn to admit they are right. Though her research is generally right when she takes her time, Alya tends to jump to conclusions, like quickly suspecting Chloé of being Ladybug after seeing the girl with her own Ladybug suit and toy yo-yo and mistaking them for the real ones. She also has a habit of never checking her sources or doing ethical investigating of her blog posts, while demanding others to provide proof for their claims, she doesn't do that herself often.

Her reporter's edge seems to have calmed down thanks to her alter ego as Rena Rouge being aware that there are lines when it comes to exposing secrets learning that despite not being told everything as friends there was still trust between them.

OR1-(126)

Alya and Marinette sharing macarons after befriending each other.

Alya is extremely loyal, supportive, helpful, and sometimes pushy, such as when she goes out of her way to encourage and (sometimes literally) push Marinette into spending time with Adrien. She is also very stubborn when it comes to doing things her way, such as the photoshoot of Marinette's fashion line. At times, she can be a bit demanding at times just as keeping Nino in line about revealing Marinette's crush on Adrien. As well as have a dramatic side to her personality, such as when she pretends to be a unicorn with Manon and later makes an excuse to Adrien's photographer, to make Marinette a support model for Adrien, instead of her. Having to babysit her younger siblings at home, she is great with kids, though sometimes she pushes her responsibility of watching them on Marinette so she can go on dates with Nino.

OR1-(442)

Alya disregards her safety to film Ladybug.

As described by Cat Noir in "The Pharaoh", Alya is a "brave chick", unafraid to get close to villains in her pursuit of the truth, tending to forget her safety at times and, needs rescuing by the very superheroes she is filming. As Ladybug, Marinette calls Alya bossy, feisty, and bold. Her bravery and determination have helped both civilians and superheroes, such as when she makes a plan with her classmates to save Marinette and sacrifices herself in the process or rides a bike to distract Gigantitan from harming Ladybug, showing a more compassionate side towards her beloved ones in danger and great skills in leadership.

Sapotis 257

Alya is delighted when Ladybug presents her with the Fox Miraculous.

Alya holds great admiration and respect for the two superheroes, especially Ladybug, wishing to know anything and everything about her. Much more, she wildly dreams of knowing Ladybug's identity, not once thinking about the consequences of posting the information on her blog, as Marinette mentioned to her in several episodes. However, she would respect her desire to keep it secret. Alya wishes to work alongside her and that dream came true when the superheroine chose her to wield the Fox Miraculous and asks for her help in defeating Sapotis. She greatly values the trust Ladybug has in her, making her someone of her word above her burning desire to continue helping her teammates and returns her Miraculous back.

During a trip to the Wax Museum, upon seeing a statue of her akumatized alter ego she felt remorseful about her actions. Her willingness to learn from her mistakes is shown once again in "Optigami". Despite respecting Ladybug as the guardian and her best friend, she impulsively took the Turtle Miraculous when it was not required in Ladybug's plan. Just as easily as she fell for Lila's deception in the past, Alya ends up being fooled by Hawk Moth's tricks showing she has a lot to learn. When Ladybug quickly exposes the identity of Sentinino, Alya becomes devastated at the realization that her impulsiveness almost turned catastrophic. This event prompts her to self-reflect, ultimately learning from her mistake which earns Ladybug's decision of turning her into a permanent miraculous holder.

Sapotis 429

Rena Rouge assists Ladybug and Cat Noir.

As Rena Rouge, Alya retains most of her personality traits such as her undying loyalty, trustworthiness, and curiosity. She is supportive of her allies, whom she gets very excited about working with, causing her to be a bit of a scatterbrain. A fast learner, she takes quickly to her abilities.

As Scarabella, she acted like a rookie, stressing over what her superhero name should be and falling into obvious traps. The reason for her behavior stemmed from the pressure of trying to live up to Ladybug's expectations, as well as Cat Noir's, who had a hard time accepting her as a replacement for his everyday partner. After he was able to accept and trust her as a partner, Scarabella's true superhero nature was able to flourish, being able to come up with a plan to defeat Robostus.

As Lady Wifi, her desire for answers increased considerably. Despising Ladybug's secrecy, she would stop at nothing to find out her secret identity, even if it meant exposing a horrible person underneath, such as when she believed that Chloé is Ladybug. Her speediness to update onlookers remained the same, but her methods for finding info became sneakier than her normal self. Aside from that, she was also vengeful towards people that wronged her such as Denis Damocles whom she paused after exposing his secret of suspending Alya.

As Rena Rage, her personality as Rena Rouge seemed to inverse, making her cruel and aggressive.

As Oblivio, she wanted nothing more than to erase the memories of everyone in Paris.

When akumatized a second time as Lady Wifi, she, along with Reflekta and Princess Fragrance, wanted revenge on Adrien for sending an ungrateful message. However, after learning it was his cousin Félix, the Punisher Trio aimed their anger at him for making Adrien look like a monster. She would also "punish" anyone who got in their way, such as pausing Nino and Nathalie.

When akumatized a third time as Lady Wifi, she, along with Reflekta, Timebreaker, Princess Fragrance, and Horrificator, wanted to expose Marinette's secrets in hopes of saving her and to be friends again by forcing her to give them up by trapping her. She and the Gang of Secrets had no qualms putting bystanders in danger to find Marinette, such as pausing a few students at the library. When Ladybug captured her and reminds her the important of trust as well as needing her as Rena Rouge, Lady Wifi broke free of Shadow Moth's control.

Abilities

As a civilian

PH S01EP06 (177)

Alya filming Ladybug for her blog.

Alya is very tech-savvy, keeping up the school blog and Ladyblog with ease, uploading videos and streaming live recordings. She records with her cellphone and knows how to download videos from it. Judging from her Instagram photos, she is also quick with a camera, taking many photos of Ladybug and Marinette without being noticed until the heroine spotted her first.

She also can use applications to see more aspects of pictures than can be seen at first sight. In "Startrain", she started a blog about astronomy.

Aside from that skill, Alya is a very good writer, composing several articles for her blogs and penning the script for Nino's film in "Horrificator". Observant and a quick thinker, Alya has figured out a lot of things about Ladybug, Cat Noir, their Miraculouses, and the villains they fight from watching them. Even before becoming a regular superhero, she knew about their time limit and the Akuma-corrupted objects.[20] She quickly deduced that the kwamis are the power source of their powers.[21] While not knowing that her best friend is Ladybug, Alya guessed correctly the identities of Carapace and Cat Noir, though is apparently not sure about the latter.

Her observation skills and previous knowledge allowed her to discover the existence of previous Miraculous holders and the Order of the Guardians.

Likewise, Alya excels at presenting herself in her videos, explaining situations when needed, and usually keeping her cool if the situation gets dangerous, as with the Pharaoh. Alya quickly developed great acrobatic skills even in her civilian form, showing great synchronization with Nino while doing this.[22] Alya showed the same coordination skills at dancing with him [23] and she also is good at rapping.[24]She is learning how to cook from her mother.[25]

Alya also possesses a very strong willpower. During "Mayura (Heroes' Day - Part 2)", she, as Rena Rouge, is shown to try to resist the power of Dark Cupid's hate arrows, despite eventually ending up being consumed by hate. In "Gang of Secrets", after some incentive by Ladybug, who reminded her of her identity as a superhero, she was able to free herself from Shadow Moth's control and deakumatize herself, a feat no person has ever managed to perform.

Similar to Marinette, Alya is shown to be very clever using her illusions to outsmart Shadow Moth into believing she'll never receive the Fox Miraculous again and save her loved ones.

She is shown to have a good memory as she was able to perfectly remember word for word of her conversation with Cat Noir the previous night in "Rocketear".

As Rena Rouge

Rena Rouge has enhanced skills, such as speed, strength, and resistance. Her most prominent physical skill is agility, jumping to heights that Ladybug and Cat Noir cannot. Like a fox, she also has enhanced senses such as hearing, smell, and night vision.

During "Sentibubbler", like a fox and similar to Cat Noir she has shown to be stealthy as she snuck into another part of her house without the titular sentimonster hearing or seeing her.

Rena Rouge uses her flute as her weapon, being able to use it to deflect attacks and throw them with great precision.

Mirage (Season 4) 06

Rena Rouge plays her flute.

Her special power, Mirage, is executed by playing her flute to produce an orange ball of energy at the far end of it. Wherever she throws the ball of energy, it creates a hyper-realistic illusion. However, the illusion disappears if it is touched. Although Mirage is handy to use, Rena Rouge must use it wisely, as she can only use it once before reverting to her civilian form five minutes after using it.

As Scarabella

Scarabella Transformation (24)

Scarabella.

She had the same abilities as Ladybug: enhanced skills like speed, agility, and strength, and near invulnerability to physical damage.

Like Ladybug, Scarabella could wield her yo-yo remarkably well, like using it as a grappling hook, a rope to restrain others, a projectile, and a shield if she spun it fast enough. Her mastery over the yo-yo was so remarkable that she was able to capture Cat Noir, a much-experienced superhero, with it. After an evil akuma was released from its corrupted object, she could open her yo-yo, throw it to grab it, and remove the dark energy, releasing it as a normal butterfly.

Along with her special power, Lucky Charm created an object that helped her to achieve her objective, and it often was to stop a villain. Though struggling at first, her cleverness helped enable her to perceive where the object could be used to help her achieve her goal. Once the villain was dealt with, Scarabella could throw her Lucky Charm object into the air and use the Miraculous Scarabella, which would make it revert back to energy and fix all of the damage done since the villain appeared.

As Lady Wifi

LW S01EP07 (500)

Lady WiFi throws her pause icon.

A Wi-Fi signal gave Lady Wifi power, but if the signal was too weak or nonexistent, she lost her abilities. She used her cellphone, which was the Akumatized object, as her weapon. Swiping her phone, she could shoot out glowing pink icons:

  • The pause and stop icons, which could freeze people.
  • The padlock icon, which could lock doors, and bind body parts to a surface.
  • The camera icon, which she used to film and broadcast videos that she could project in the sky and on all available screens.
  • The fast forward icon, which acted like a hoverboard as a mode of transportation. This was first shown in "The Puppeteer".

Lady Wifi was also able to dispel any of the currently in-use icons by crossing them off using her cellphone. Additionally, Lady Wifi could teleport herself using cell phones and antennas.

In "Félix", Alya's tablet became Lady Wifi's new weapon and, because of her satellite connection, her previous weakness regarding the existence of Wi-Fi signal is removed.

Even without her phone abilities, Lady Wifi was skilled in hand-to-hand combat, easily being able to pin Cat Noir down on the ground. She was also shown to be remarkably strong, easily lifting an entire wooden chest and throwing it across the room at Ladybug.

As Rena Rage

She retained the same ability as Rena Rouge, as well as the same weapon.

As Oblivio

Oblivio had super strength and wielded a laser cannon that could fire a blast of purple energy that caused whoever it hit to lose their memories. They were invulnerable to physical attacks, which phased right through them.

As Ubiquity

Ubiquity's main power was the ability to be omnipresent in all the universes where she had a counterpart. She did this by connecting to any of the counterparts and turning them into Ubiquity. Once she did that, she could see, hear, talk and act through her counterparts. When she was in control, her counterparts had no idea what was happening, only regaining it once the real Ubiquity was not using their bodies.

Her second power was the ability to open portals between universes through her cape which became covered in stars, simulating a universe, when activated. By connecting herself with her counterparts, she could create a bridge between her world and her counterpart's. Since she could act through all her counterparts, she could open portals from and to any universe she desired.

Because she could act through all of her counterparts by turning them into her, her kamiko was also present in the same object of that counterpart, similar to when an akumatized villain used Multitude while holding their akumatized object, with the akuma being able to be freed by breaking only one of the cloned objects.

Etymology

  • Alya's name is derived from the late R&B singer Aaliyah,[26] just as the rest of her family's names are references to jazz singers.[27]
    • In Slavonic, "Alya" means "beautiful" or "scarlet", possibly a reference to her red-brown hair. In Arabic, it means "sky," "heaven", or "loftiness".
  • Her surname, Césaire, is a name variation of "Caesar", which translates to "hairy", akin to her large wavy hair.
    • In the English dub, her surname is pronounced as See-ZER or Seh-ZAR, depending on the episode. In the French dub, however, it's pronounced as Seh-ZER, which is the correct pronouncination following the rules of French orthography and orthoepy.
  • In the Serbian and Croatian dubs, her name is changed to Ајла Сезар/Ajla Sezar.
  • In the Bulgarian dub, her surname is changed to Сезаре (Sezare).
    • Her name is also sometimes pronounced as Аляa (Aļa).
  • Alya's superhero name, Rena Rouge, is a play on "Renard Rouge", which means Red Fox in french.
    • Alternatively, "rena" could also be referring to the word for "fox" in Haitian-Creole.
    • In the Italian dub, she is called Volpe Rossa, which also means "Red Fox".
    • In the European Portuguese dub, her name was changed to Fox Rouge. This was most likely done to avoid confusion about the meaning of the word "rena" in Portuguese, which means reindeer.
  • Alya's other superhero name, Rena Furtive, is the first part of "Rena Rouge" with the English word "Furtive", which means "done in a evasive or secretive way".
  • Unlike in "Sapotis", in which Alya chose the name "Rena Rouge" very quickly, Alya had a hard time settling up with a superhero name for when using the Ladybug Miraculous. Before settling with Scarabella in the very end of the episode, she comes up with the following names: "Captain Bug", "Wonder Bug", "Super Bug", "Bug-a-Lady", "Lady Luck", "La Bugette", and "Black Spots of Justice".
  • "Scarabella" is a portmanteau of the words, "scarab", a species from the scarab beetle, and "ella" which in various contexts means girl. Although, the second word could also be ''bella'' which means ''beautiful girl/woman/lady"
    • Scarabs used to be considered a sacred animal by the ancient Egyptians, being a symbol of rebirth and used as a good luck charm.

    • With her akumatizations in Rena Rage, Oblivio with Nino and her four kamokizations in Ubiquity, Alya has been akumatized 10 times in total.
    • With her 10 akumatizations, Alya comes in second place alongside Chloé for having been akumatized the most number of times behind Mr. Ramier and ahead of Kagami, Juleka, Lila and Roger.
      • However, unlike the others, Alya, along with Chloé, Kagami and Lila, haven't been re-akumatized into the same villain all of the time.
  • As seen in "Mayura", Rena Rouge is the second person who isn't Ladybug or Cat Noir to break an akumatized object, following Queen Bee in "Mayura".
  • In "Hack-San" she uses the Ladybug Miraculous, becoming Scarabella. She is the third person to use it, after Marinette in "Stormy Weather" and Adrien in "Reflekdoll".
    • Overall she is the fifth person of french origins to use the Ladybug Miraculous following Jeanne d'Arc, La Coconielle, Marinette, and Adrien.
    • Her theme song during transformation is shown to be a mix between Pigella's and Ladybug's.
  • In "Rocketear", Rena Rouge's costume adapts to her new undercover role, becoming Rena Furtive.
    • Her suit in this form is light blue with camouflage patterns. This resembles an arctic fox, which is all white in the winter to camouflage itself in the snow to sneak up on their prey and hide from predators.
    • She is also the first known Miraculous holder whose costume adapts to their new role.
  • Unlike Chloé's renouncing of the Bee Miraculous by Ladybug, Alya willingly renounced herself as the Fox Miraculous holder without hesitation, making her the first person to do so.
    • Interestingly, Ladybug's opinion on the matter was opposite between the two. While she wanted Chloé to renounce the Bee Miraculous, she didn't want Alya to renounce the Fox Miraculous.
  • In "Re-creation" Marinette told her about Monarch making the Wish and how she found the Agreste's wedding rings in his place, implying that she may be aware of Monarch's true identity and Adrien's nature as a sentibeing.
  • Currently, six characters know Alya is Rena Rouge: Marinette, Nino, Gabriel, Nathalie, Chloé and Adrien.
    • Marinette personally gave the Fox Miraculous to Alya as Ladybug in "Sapotis".
    • Nino found out in "Catalyst".
    • Gabriel, Nathalie and Chloé found out in "Miracle Queen".
    • Adrien found out from Nino in "Rocketear".
      • Ten if counting Luka, Kagami, Max, and Kim when they were brainwashed in "Miracle Queen".
