While he constantly flirts with her, Ladybug mostly sidesteps his romantic gestures and often gets annoyed with him if the moment is inappropriate (like when they're fighting a villain), though she does display a little bit of affection towards him occasionally. During "Animan", she compliments Cat Noir by scratching his chin for thinking ahead. In "Antibug" and "Gigantitan", complimenting his cleverness in dealing with the titular villain. Sometimes after patrols, she enjoys hanging out and taking photos with him, seen in Alya's Instagram photos. Despite their teasing relationship, they are a great team; having a lot of faith and trust in the other, greatly support the other, are willing to risk their lives for their partner, and assure each other when doubtful. In "The Collector", seeing him distressed about the possibility of Gabriel Agreste being Hawk Moth, Ladybug stays with him to the end. She trusts him not to look when they detransform in "The Dark Owl". Then in "Gorizilla", she trusts Cat Noir to arrive when she needs him. She knows that he wants to know her secret identity but thinks it is better if no one knows for the sake of protecting humanity and each other, at least until Hawk Moth is defeated, said in "Troublemaker".

Syren (90)

Ladybug feels bad about keeping secrets from Cat Noir.

In "Syren" when Cat Noir expresses frustration at Ladybug for keeping secrets, she felt bad, telling him that it's not easy for her and promises him that he'll know everything when the time is right and is at ease when Wang Fu takes care of it. In "Sandboy" when she sees that his nightmare is an evil version of herself and worriedly asks him if he really thinks she’s as awful as his nightmare, Cat Noir assures her the opposite, calling her the girl of his dreams, which made Ladybug smile brightly.

Mayura (288)

Ladybug (Marinette) being encouraged by Cat Noir (Adrien).

During "Heroes' Day" when expressing doubt about how to defeat Hawk Moth, she is encouraged by Cat Noir to keep fighting to keep hope alive despite being outnumbered. Due to her closeness to him, she has become more comfortable around him, asking for his advice on personal things, as seen in "Gamer 2.0", "The Puppeteer 2" and "Wishmaker".

The ultimate moment of Ladybug's trust in Cat Noir was when she entrusted him to look after Paris while she was in New York for the French-American Friendship Week. However, when she found out that he was there, too, she was angry that he left their home unguarded and wasn't sure she could trust him during their fight against Technolizer. This led to Cat Noir accidentally using his powers on Uncanny Valley, leaving the young heroes horrified. Despite repairing her, they were scolded by Knightowl about the consequences of their actions.

Furious Fu (191)

Being told to keep faith in herself by her partner.

In "Furious Fu", expressing doubt about their inability to defeat Shadow Moth, Cat Noir reminded her despite being kids about Master Fu's trust and faith in them when he gave them their jewels and him feeling the same only relinquishing his ring to her seeing Ladybug as the real guardian. She was sad that she missed a chance to end Shadow Moth in "Sentibubbler", but was assured by her partner she did right thing by saving Alya's loved ones and him.

In "Evolution", after Monarch stole the Miraculouses and hastily used the Rabbit Miraculous to steal their jewels in the past. To stop him but not make the same mistake again after Bunnyx's version of the watch is safe Ladybug trusted it to Cat Noir remembering that they are a team. After the plan had failed both were down on themselves in "Miraculous Paris", especially Ladybug regardless she still had Cat Noir's support even if she didn't have faith in herself. Realizing the damage holding secrets did as Ladybug, Marinette became even more trustful and open with him even admitting her feelings towards him in "Determination" and the power of her kwagatama in "Reunion". After Cat Noir tells her the situation in "Passion" and they become Lady Noire and Mister Bug again, she followed his lead in defeating Safari.

Another degree of trust came between them in "The Last Day", when Cat Noir trusted her with his Miraculous as he was incapacitated.

Reflekdoll 342

Ladybug as Lady Noir.

Even though she gets annoyed with Cat Noir's jokes and humor at times, she finds it useful, like when trying to figure out her lucky charms in various episodes or when figuring out a way to defeat the villain in "Silencer". In "Reflekdoll", she experiences what it's like to be Cat Noir as Lady Noir when their miraculouses get swapped. Teaching her partner about being more cautious, observant and using his head with her powers. She also became more humorous, stealing his lines. After the titular villain's and sentimonster's defeat, she had a better understanding of Cat Noir and his humor. When under the effects of Lighteye in "Truth", she actually admired him for his courage, confidence and especially his humor.

During the series, Ladybug had to keep an eye on him at times, stopping Cat Noir from doing hasty things like a cautious older sibling, sometimes saving him from Hawk Moth's villains, Mayura and their deception, especially in "Ladybug", "Jubilation" and "Derision". Most of the time she is calm and confident around Cat Noir, rarely breaking down in the front of him, she did in "The Battle of the Miraculous", where her greatest mistake yet led to Hawk Moth kidnapping their friends, Master Fu and obtaining the Miracle Box. Even calling herself "the worst Ladybug ever" but is comforted by him, being reminded that everyone makes mistakes and to focus on saving everyone. Touched she hugs him, grateful to always have him by her side, even when she was affected by Hawk Moth's taunting.

Miracle Queen 176

Thankful to have him.

Despite their loving relationship in the alternate future of "Cat Blanc", it doesn't affect their teamwork. They manage to corner Hawk Moth, but upon discovering his identity and reason for his actions, she was shocked to see Cat Noir use his powers angrily against his father. Aware of the price, she reminded him of the consequences of using such power but is horrified to see him akumatized. Still, she encourages him to fight his father's influence but with him so hurt and confused, she felt great sorrow for her partner as she is cataclysmed.

As the current Ladybug enters the future, she was surprised to see Cat Noir acting strange, aggressive and trying to take her earrings. After he explains, she realized that he was akumatized, she tried to reason with him and search for his akuma, but he doesn't make it easy and was shocked that he knew her identity. With his anger reach a critical point, she pretends to surrender knowing he'll always be Cat Noir to her, and with his guard down, she deakumatizes him. But is disappointed that he still knew who she is and how pointless it is for her to use her restoration powers. When Bunnyx returns, Ladybug shares a quick hug with him promising to fix everything before leaving. Due to changing the past, these events were erased. After all that, they share a peaceful moment.

Miraculous World - New York Special 1171

Happy to be reunited.

During their adventures in New York, still reeling from the sadness and shock of what happened to Uncanny Valley, Ladybug was devastated to discover that Paris is wrecked and there was nothing she could do. Hearing Cat Noir take full responsibility for everything, she was tearfully shocked when he renounced his ring and left. When the trouble in New York escalated, Marinette hesitated, believing she couldn't be her alter ego without him. Seeing him return, she embraced her partner happily, scolded him, and wiped away tears of joy while he promised to be more honest with her.

Under the effects of the titular villain's sentimonster in "Truth", she finds out that Cat Noir is fine with her being the guardian. When affected by "Psycomedian", she becomes aggressive towards him needing to be watched but she still managed to work with him.

By gathering more allies, being haunted by Cat Blanc, Su-Han's strictness and Hawk Moth's obsession. Ladybug kept her distance from Cat Noir to protect him such as not trusting him to help with her guardian duties and more.

Kuro Neko (330)

Blaming herself for how she treated Cat Noir.

However Ladybug realized her treatment of him was wrong starting in "Kuro Neko", being reminded of his sensitive side as her actions made him feel left out and leave. Then, she hastily tried to pick a new Cat holder but found it impossible. Despite having and being cordial with Cat Walker she couldn't get Cat Noir out of her mind. At first, hastily believing he was akumatized hurt over renouncing his ring and being replaced. Not wanting to repeat herself she tried to include Cat Walker but it didn't go so well. Accepting it was a sentimonster, she berated herself for not understanding him or doing nothing when he left calling herself "the worst guardian ever".

But was comforted by him believing that Cat Noir was being too sensitive and because of it he shouldn't have forced her to give him attention and reminded as the leader that she takes care of everyone and he was here for her. However, she realized Cat Walker was the problem being "too perfect" and distracting her, she apologized for excluding him but was surprised that he wasn't upset being aware of the mission. After the sentimonster's defeat, they reunite but understood that Cat Noir is her true partner. With a chance to talk she accepted his apology about earlier nudging his shoulder, telling him even though she doesn't always need him doesn't mean she never goes reminding him about being irreplaceable.

Then, it's full extent in "Shadow Moth's Final Attack", when they argued during a fight against the titular villain and sentimonster. Cat Noir berates her about not trusting him with anything until Ladybug retorts saying she was afraid of him being akumatized to which he felt awestruck saying he never be but she says otherwise. Devastated by her distrust in him and attempts to control everything about the Miraculous, Ladybug broke down crying on a rooftop over the lost until Cat Noir arrives she tearfully wanted him to abandon her for being the worse guardian ever and her behavior towards him. But, was surprised he refused and comforts her, always remaining by her side and so were the people's support embracing him promising that they'll get all the Chinese Zodiac Miraculouses back one by one encouraging her to continue fighting.

Evolution (23)

Thankful for Cat Noir's support

In "Evolution", she thanked him for his continuous support despite her failure. After noticing Monarch hastily use all the jewels especially the Rabbit. Ladybug was distressed at their inability to track their nemesis through time until Rabbit Noir calmed and told her to slow down. With only Fluff saved, Monarch gets away with others leaving her more distraught with Cat Noir assuring her that they will save them causing her to smile at him.

As a precaution in "Destruction", she told Cat Noir of a plan to retrieve the kwamis if they were stolen or missing. So she asked him to keep a message in his bell saying "halfwit" at first he was offended until she clarified it was for Shadow Moth. But the plan ended with no kwamis freed and just like their adventures in New York no damage repaired either with Monarch as the first victim unaware that her partner cataclysmed her boyfriend's father.

With the team depowered in "Determination", and traumatized by the events she still receives Cat Noir's support with him being left Ladybug sees him in a new light. Now the tables have flipped and she takes after his flirty behavior with it coming at the wrong time in "Passion" so much so that it left her paralyzed. After becoming de-paralyzed by detransforming in the sewers, she was shocked that her earrings were gone but was relieved that Cat Noir had them informing her about their situation with the magic bolts marking them if they retransform. So they swap Miraculouses again but before they do, she hears Cat Noir express his desire to use the Ultimate power to fix everything but she sadly recites their former master's words and thanks him when he only agrees to the swap. She continues her flirty manner even asking herself what's wrong with her and when Nathalie was deakumatized they switch back.

After their latest mission in "Elation", a lovesick Ladybug planned a victory date for them despite Cat Noir finding it sweet they didn't have time. Aware of what she was trying to do thinking it was a test he said that they were partners and friends reminding her the less they know the better following up Ladybug admits that he passed. During Glaciator's fourth rampage when she asked Cat Noir if his feelings towards her has changed and that he was in love with Marinette, the hero was unsure agreeing it was complicated but nonetheless they continue remaining friends.

With a close call in "Deflagration", together at their annual rooftop despite Ladybug and Cat Noir discovering that Monarch reforged the jewels they also found out that they are the only ones who can defeat him. And yet, today they also realized that they weren't the only ones who fought against him praising the resistance and their kwamis for their bravery.

Resuming their hero duties in "Perfection", Ladybug is happy to hear that Cat Noir has a girlfriend and expresses the same in having a boyfriend agreeing that it remains secret and they're happy they can talk about it freely as friends.

After Dark Humor's deakumatizion in "Derision", Cat Noir apologized for his behavior but Ladybug didn't take it too hard as if one of them becomes lost then the other will always be there to bring them back.

They continue their friendship always talking to each other on the rooftops in "Intuition", as they both found it strange that Monarch hadn't used the Snake Miraculous yet but counted their blessings he hadn't.

From "Confrontation", after revealing Chloe's and Lila's deception, sharing another rooftop moment she was informed by Cat Noir of the true power of her magical charm.

After Chloe's rise to power and tyranny in "Revolution", she was encouraged by him to fight against her sooner but didn't want to throw away their moral code. However she find out that Cat Noir was right by waiting too long it was already too late for them to do anything about it and ended with them trapped in cages and detransforming believing this to be it they did one final "pound it" knowing it was an honor to fight alongside him but seeing Paris' people stand up and fight she and Cat Noir retaliated by back by unlocking their powers. And yet, due to the duo not knowing each other's identities, Ladybug wasn't only separated from her lover but partner as well.

She is aware that he has a crush on her. Before transforming in "Befana", he comes to take her somewhere safe, commenting on how she must be a nice girl to have such loyal friends and wishes her a happy birthday (although he already did earlier, but as Adrien). During "Glaciator" after they both discuss their issues in their romantic endeavors, Marinette notices Cat Noir's affectionate and sensitive side; realizing that his feelings for Ladybug are genuine. However, she doesn't want to disappoint him nor play with his feelings, she earnestly tells him as Ladybug that she views him as more than just her partner but as a close friend.

When it was her turn she hesitated and fled then had a hard time accepting both as the same person. Until receiving advice, Ladybug gained the courage to reveal herself; at first she thought he was disappointed but hearing Adrien accept her completely she embraced him. But like "Cat Blanc", their relationship didn't last because they accidentally revealed themselves to their archenemy. At the cinema she was shocked that Adrien was akumatized and that Shadow Moth had his ring despite that she tried to call for him. With little time left thanks to a lucky charm and Sass' power the reality was erased.

Despite the hero encouraging her to fight his influence she nearly gave in until he kissed her again that made things more awkward but realized a relationship between them wouldn't work. And with Glaciator on the rampage she was hidden somewhere safe and after Andre's deakumatization they reunite on the balcony and apologized to each other but Cat Noir didn't take it too hard as he understood for someone mistaking idolization for love and yet agreed that Marinette had the desire to love whom ever she wanted with them bidding each other goodnight.

Ladybug found it strange that Cat Noir was being so aggressive against the titular villain in "Derision", unknown to her, he was trying to avenge her alterego. She helps him deakumatize Lila in "Revelation", by convincing her to release the akuma.

In "Representation", Marinette didn't know that Adrien returned to Paris as his alter ego to look for her as well as tell her his identity so they could be together and that she left him to fight to an akumatized villain on his own. As Ladybug, Marinette found an akuma in a jar and message from her partner that even if they were apart they were still a team.

When the band discovers that Bob has stolen their ideas to give to XY, she and Luka sneak into the TVi studio and confront Bob and XY. Eventually, after Bob threatens Marinette, Luka gets akumatized into Silencer, much to her shock. When he says that justice will be restore, Marinette tells him that he's doing the opposite, but Silencer doesn't listen. However, she is shocked when he makes a declaration of love towards her before taking off. After Silencer's defeat, Marinette asks Luka if he really meant what he said when akumatized. Though he doesn't remember, he makes another declaration using the exact words he said as Silencer, causing Marinette to blush.

In "Desperada" she spends more time with Luka as he teaches her how to play his guitar. Her lessons with him continue in an Instagram page.

During "The Battle of the Miraculous", she comes across Luka again, who informs her that he is working on "matching her song" and easily accepts his offer for a ride to Le Grand Paris Hotel.

She is comforted by Luka saying that she could be herself around him as well as talking to him about anything. Then, she is saved by Luka, who takes a sting from Miracle Queen's hornets for her, and after the villain's defeat, Marinette sits next to Luka along with the rest of her friends at Seine listening to his song.

But replies that the truth is the only thing she can't tell him, Luka gets vulnerable to akumatization and amokization from Shadow Moth. However, his love for Marinette and his conviction for patience at first made Luka resist him. Nevertheless, eventually, Luka is akuamtized, but not before telling Marinette to run. After being deakumatized, Luka and Marinette have a talk, where she tells him it's for the best they break up as she doesn't want to lie to him. Luka reacts by giving her a hug and telling her he will be there when she is ready. Marinette's breakup with Luka is the catalyst of her emotional breakdown in "Gang of Secrets".

During "Crocoduel", Marinette has been avoiding Luka as much as possible since their breakup, not going to Kitty Section's performances anymore, which left him very sad. Alya and the others make a plan to save their friendship, deciding to have his and Juleka's birthday party on the boat. To escape, Marinette, tries to convince Juleka to not make Luka come to the party. To her surprise, she finds him there, as Juleka was not able to tell him, taking refuge in the cabinet. After Anarka and Jagged are deakumatized, Marinette and Luka have a sincere talk and they are able to make up and continue to be friends.

Explaining despite being school mates with Adrien she hasn't made any real progress even feeling uncomfortable but Luka calmly mentioned that she was in the step of transitioning between what's real and fake. But refusing to go alone she asked him to come with her but Marinette was tricked by him and Kagami into being alone in the wax museum with Adrien so that she can admit her feelings.

Marinette like everyone else always came to Luka for advice like in "Migration" for her it's about opening up to herself and Adrien. But upon talking to Luka, Marinette believed she was being cruel because of how they use to be together and yet was told she wasn't and shouldn't be too hard on herself with that insight she hugged him in thanks. However she didn't like it when Luka was tricked by Bob into signing a contract just to fulfill the producer's endless greed and led to his near akumatization as well as being shocked that Luka smashed his prized guitar to stop it.

Ladybug and Cat Noir meet Viperion.

As Ladybug in "Captain Hardrock", she blushes at Luka's compliment about her alter ego being very brave. In "Desperada", she gives him a light scolding but thanks him for saving her. When Adrien believed he wasn't the right choice for the Snake Miraculous, following his recommendation, she gives the miraculous to Luka.

Like Cat Noir, she works well with his alter ego, Viperion, and is open to his ideas and suggestions as well as in "Party Crasher". When he is turned into Miracle Queen's servant in "The Battle of the Miraculous", as Ladybug, Marinette is determined to save him.

Aware of Wishmaker's abilities as Ladybug, she calls on Luka to become Viperion again to use his power to prevent Hawk Moth from discovering either her's and Cat Noir's identities. But in the scuffle unknown to her he discovered her identity but decided to keep the secret to himself.

Because of Su-Han's ultamine in "Ephemeral", Ladybug called on Viperion to help her discover Cat Noir's identity but informing about the identity rules after the information was relayed to him, he was suppose to use his Second Chance to make her forget. And yet, when the plan commenced Ladybug didn't follow through and when he asked her why she said she wanted to know what was going to happen next. But seeing Marinette confused after discovering her partner's identity she received insight from Luka about looking at him in a new way however it didn't last it. As the events of "Cat Blanc" happened again with little time she made a call to Luka telling him to find Sass and activate his power in doing so the timeline was erased.

In "Shadow Moth's Last Stand", after the battle with Strikeback like the other team members Ladybug made him inactive when she lost the Snake Miraculous.

In "Jubilation", in her dream after recovering the Miraculouses they are returned to their rightful owners and Viperion is seen attending her and Cat Noir's wedding. Upon seeing the statues of her allies being used against her reminds Ladybug of her failure and how much she misses him.

In "Migration", as everyone else was hiding from Gold Record, Marinette was separated from the others, after transforming, the heroine had a plan to stop the villain but needed his help. Despite agreeing when Luka emphasized the risks it made Ladybug realize that he really did know her and Cat Noir's identities, to her shock, believing she made a mistake until he told her otherwise. However despite deakumatizing Bob, she heard Luka make his choice to leave to Paris to protect the heroes even though she doesn't agree with his decision Marinette respects it sharing a group hug with him and their friends.

Unknown to her in "Re-creation", to further help her Luka had joined the Order of the Guardians and after Monarch's defeat, wish, as well as reforging the jewels back to their original forms, Marinette gives Sass and his miraculous back to Luka on a permanent basis happy to be reunited with him and the whole team.

She also encourages him to give his crush his gift in "Dark Cupid", which he appreciates, although she is unaware his crush is Chloé.

In "Revolution", Kim was indirectly mentioned when Marinette confront Chloé, most likely getting justice for him for getting rejected by her and being forced to part of her plan of humiliated her last year.

In "Party Crasher", Ladybug meets Kim's alter ego King Monkey after she and the other heroes are set free and work well together defeating the party villain. However, it is currently unknown if Ladybug knows King Monkey's identity. When he is turned into Miracle Queen's servant in "The Battle of the Miraculous", as Ladybug, Marinette is determined to save him. Like the other team members Ladybug continues to call on him for various missions until she loses the Monkey Miraculous making him inactive.

In "Multiplication", with her permission as her alterego through Alix's father he was informed about Alix's fate as Bunnyx. In "Jubilation", in her dream after recovering the Miraculouses they are returned to their rightful owners and King Monkey is seen attending her and Cat Noir's wedding. Upon seeing the statues of her allies being used against her in "Determination" reminds Ladybug of her failure and how much she misses him.

While fighting Monarch, as a disguised and depowered Ladybug, she was surprised to see Kim come to her defense along with the other Resistance members and after both heroes jewels have been retrieved she thanked him and the Resistance for their help in "Deflagration".

In "Re-creation", Ladybug unknowingly had Kim's help in defeating the Miraculized army. After Monarch's defeat, wish, as well as reforging the jewels back to their original forms, Marinette gives Xuppu and his miraculous back to Kim on a permanent basis happy to be reunited with him and the whole team.

Friends/Allies[]

Tikki[]

OR1-(240)

Meeting for Tikki the first time.

Marinette's kwami, Tikki, allows her to transform into Ladybug. When they meet for the first time in "Ladybug & Cat Noir (Origins - Part 1)", she is terrified, thinking Tikki is a "bug-mouse" throwing several things at her, trying to scare her off. Eventually, Marinette listens to Tikki's information and reluctantly transforms with her for the first time. After defeating Stone heart, she learns that she failed to purify the Akuma and made the situation worse, and despite Tikki encouraging her to keep going, Marinette apologized to her and puts her away with the Miraculous. It isn't until Stoneheart's next attack that Marinette decides to be Ladybug, donning the Miraculous again, telling a delighted Tikki that she won't sit back and do nothing when others are in trouble.

Princess Fragrance 348

Tikki hugs Marinette.

Since then they have a good relationship as partners and friends, often nuzzling each other warmly and even playing on occasion. Marinette appreciates Tikki's attempts to cheer her up after she has "failed" with Adrien or displayed "incompetence" as Ladybug. Tikki also helps her when she doesn't feel confident in herself, or when she gets off track, often giving her advice. In "Princess Fragrance" when Tikki gets sick and is taken by Chloé, Marinette was desperate to find and take her to the healer. Finding her, Marinette rejects her suggestion that they transform to stop the titular villain, saying she won't make the same mistake twice and goes to see the healer right away. After Tikki is healed Marinette told her she is more than a kwami to her. In "Befana", though finding it a bit strange, Marinette cherished the kwagatama Tikki gives her for her birthday.

During their adventure in Shanghai, Marinette is surprised that Tikki can speak Chinese understanding that as a kwami, her owner will always be a mystery. Noticing that her stuff was missing, Marinette became extremely worried searching the entire city for her. With Fei's help, she was relieved that her kwami and earrings were in Cash's shop. Reuniting, she promised to get out of there which she does.

Even after Marinette became the guardian, she continued to receive Tikki's constant support. Returning home after "Evolution" to an empty room she still received Tikki's support knowing they'll save her kwami siblings.

Returning home from the failed plan and with Alya kamikotized into Ubiquity, as well as alternate world Miraculous holders appearing in her room, Marinette learned more surprising things about Tikki. One that she and her kind knew about parallel universes, two: they live in all of them simulataneously, three: why the Miraculouses should never be used for evil especially by younger holders with Tikki explaining when the jewels are used in this condition the safety lock is removed allowing said holders to access to their full power but at the cost of their vital energy being drained away. But when Marinette asked why she wasn't told sooner Tikki replied there wasn't enough time too explain everything and chose to stick to the basics making of the time they do have.

While in the Lourve Museum in "Reunion", she asked Tikki if any of her previous owners were able to have a romantic relationship their Cat Noirs. And when the kwami speaks of a duo just like that but didn't have an evil Monarch after them, Marinette is shown by Tikki that her kwagatama when combined with the Ladybug statue can help her seek the wisdom of her former owners.

Soon a depressed Marinette was approached by a saddened Tikki in "Transmission". Listening with great seriousness as she received great praise from the kwami of creation calling her an exemplary holder of the Ladybug miraculous as she used her powers for the greater good. But was sadly told that her mission was over despite voicing concerns Tikki told her she'll be succeed by someone else. And to look at the bright side as she could be free to be with Adrien. Giving the earrings back they share one last glance with each other knowing they'll see each other again. But it was short-lived in "Deflagration", noticing waves of Tikki and Plagg's powers rippling everywhere and ending up with her lucky charm realizing Tikki's in danger donning her own costume and with the help of the Resistance, Marinette saved her and Plagg. Aware of what truly worked they stayed together.

After being heartbroken about Adrien's departure in "Representation", Marinette asked an equally saddened Tikki if there was a way to stop herself from crying but all Tikki could reply if there was she used it herself. The next day, in "Conformation", when Marinette suggested going to the Agreste Mansion as Ladybug to talk to Nathalie and Gabriel at first she was reminded by Tikki what happens every-time she did that bur Marinette assured her she would remain cool, calm and only negotiate Adrien's freedom nothing more with that Tikki agrees and they transform.

Sandboy (558)

Marinette and Tikki bond together.

Marinette is very trusting of Tikki's intentions and judgment, as in "Sandboy" when she let Tikki go out on her own to contact Nooroo on his birthday in an attempt to find him. After the villain's defeat, Marinette understands she meant well and comforts her when Tikki thought she failed.

She also takes Tikki's encouragement to heart in "Chameleon" when Lila threatens to take Marinette's friends away from her and uses her advice to drive the akuma away. When Marinette lost her memory in "Oblivio", she calls Tikki a bug-mouse but was sympathetic towards her when she couldn't remember anything. When Tikki sees how well the two avoid Oblivio, she calls them an effective couple with Marinette agreeing.

Marinette's trust in Tikki extends to the point where she feels comfortable talking about her double life to her, claiming that she knew her better than anyone and hid no secrets. In "Kwamibuster", however, when she heard that Tikki had been spotted on the news, she scolded her kwami for not telling her. After she was captured by the titular villain, Marinette takes a great risk to save her, and afterwards, she forgives Tikki for her mistake and reaffirms their trust for each other.

Dearest Family (350)

Discovering Tikki's darkside.

In "Dearest Family", Marinette discovered a new side to Tikki which proved to be much darker than she ever expected: her kwami's immense hunger and lack of control, leading to disaster. At first, she thought little of it when Tikki ate the galette pieces meant for the other kwamis. Despite being warned by Sass, Marinette trusted her, but that was a fatal mistake when she tried to greedily eat the galette that was meant for her family. Experiencing Tikki's hunger after transforming and witnessing her kwami using her power to satisfy it, she finally believes what the other kwamis warned her about. When asking Tikki why she didn't tell her, ashamed, the kwami confesses, that she feared Marinette would like her less after knowing her other side. Comforting towards her, Marinette told Tikki she would always love her, regardless, and help control her hunger.

However in "Recreation", after Gabriel was defeated, Marinette didn't listen to Tikki's nor Plagg's judgement about trusting him which led to her downfall and the kwamis being taken from her. After Venom effects wore off when the Bee Miraculous was surrendered, Marinette saw Tikki in her true form after the wish was made the kwami of creation was returned to her.

Alya Césaire/Rena Rouge[]

OR1-(129)

Marinette and Alya meeting and becoming friends.

Marinette first met Alya when she was forced by Chloé to sit next to her on the first day of school in "Ladybug & Cat Noir", but seeing Alya stand up for her, they become friends. When she decides to not be Ladybug in "Stoneheart", she "chose" Alya by slipping the Ladybug Miraculous into her bag at school. Noticing her bag she took it to Alya after she left to watch the fight, but seeing her pinned to a wall by a car and crying out for help Marinette was determined to save her and uses the Miraculous again. The next day at school, hearing Alya's plans to find out Ladybug's secret identity, Marinette knowingly tells her, "Good luck with that."

Marinette enjoys spending time with Alya, her best friend. They get along very well, tolerating each others' flaws, like her ditziness and Alya's pushiness. Although often frozen with fear whenever Alya assists her with doing something with or for Adrien, she is thankful for her pushing her forward. Alya's desire to find out more about her alterego has caused many problems for Marinette, who wants to tell Alya that she is Ladybug but can't. Such as panicking when Alya finds the history book she dropped as Ladybug in "The Pharaoh", and she is utterly astounded when Alya left her a note saying she knows who Ladybug is in "Lady Wifi". Alya's attempts to find the truth about Ladybug can be exasperating for Marinette, but she does her best to conceal her identity from her. Both find Chloé awful, and both support each other in any way that they can.

In "Friends", Marinette calls Alya her strategic coach, and revealing that she was the one that helped her become better friends with Adrien. In "Tikki (webisode)", Marinette would love to introduce Tikki to her knowing Alya would love Tikki as much as she does but understands that her kwami must be kept a secret.

In "Chameleon", Marinette tries to tell Alya that Lila's stories aren't true, but Alya doesn't believe her. Despite not having the same feelings about Lila, she is happy when they sit beside each other in class. However, she can be annoyed with Alya at times, as seen in "The Puppeteer 2" when she thought Alya told Nino about her crush on Adrien or when she planned to leave Marinette alone with him.

During "Ladybug", she thanked Alya for believing in her, her support and help in trying to prove her innocence. Sometime prior to "Feast", she was glad that Alya had given up looking for the identity of her alter ego. But showed concern for Alya when she tried to unmask Hawk Moth. Marinette was more shocked when Alya discovered the secret order of the guardians, posting it on her blog, even believing she shouldn't have trusted Alya with a Miraculous after all. In "Cat Blanc", Marinette believes that Alya would never reveal her identity jeopardizing her best friend.

After becoming the Guardian, Marinette finds herself lying and isolating herself from everyone, even Alya, in such a way that she didn't even tell her about breaking up with Luka. This causes Alya and her other friends to try and show her she can trust them by making a beaded bracelet to connect their secrets. In an attempt to conceal the Miracle Box from them, Marinette ended their friendship sending them away, leading to their akumatization into the Gang of Secrets. After they were deakumatized and they made up, Marinette talked alone with Alya about her still having secrets and seeing that she won't pressure her to tell nor she'll try to uncover them, but will be there if she needs to talk. This causes Marinette, who is under a great pressure because of the weight of her responsibilities, to admit her actions. Eventually, she ends up telling Alya she is Ladybug.

Despite being told her identity some things don't change as she still receives Alya's support in her romantic pursuit of Adrien. After foiling Shadow Moth's plans in "Optigami", she comforted Alya about her mistake reminding of the important things about learning from her mistakes.

During "Shadow Moth's Final Attack", she was still surprised that Alya believed in Lila's stories but didn't believe her when Marinette told her about Adrien's true feelings about his big trip. Then, was informed not to mess with their friend's life as this was his big chance to have freedom but knowing what Adrien truly wants, trying to save him from his father and Risk's power she decides to pursue her goal without Alya's help unaware that both were right.

Despite losing her jewel she continues to receive her best friend's support about her mistake in "Multiplication". During their continued sleepover in "Destruction", Marinette told Alya that she created a plan to save the kwamis in advance if they were captured but it ends in failure. She received great praise from her for coming up with the greatest plan ever, showing self control and was encouraged to have hope and was told that Alya was looking for a way to help without her powers, Marinette replied she was helping by being a supportive friend.

In "Miraculous Paris", she continues to receive Alya's support until Marinette shocked seeing her best friend kamikotized into Ubquity and another mysterious Miraculous holder appear in her room. They both learn that the mysterious holder is named Betterfly but before they could learn anything more the friends were separated once at the Effiel Tower Marinette further explained the situation to Alya and asked her to keep her parents away from her room until it was repaired. After Monarch was defeaated, Shadybug and Claw Noire reform and return home with Betterfly, Marinette lamented how lucky she was to have friends and wondered how much her live would be if she didn't.

Like Nino and the rest of their classmates, Alya was also apart of the Resistance set up in "Illusion". She figured out that Marinette tells Alya that she as given up her romantic pursuit of Adrien for Cat Noir in instead in "Passion". When exploring the Louvre, she even told her the secret of her kwagatama and of the bittersweet answer to her romance question in "Reunion". During "Elation", she keeps getting reminded by Alya why she can't pursue Cat Noir romantically and similar to him in "Rocketear", Marinette got a little angry towards her as she found a way to be together with Nino while they couldn't and was called out by her for running away from her feelings towards Adrien.

Marinette received great joy from Alya about her and Adrien finally being a couple in "Perfection", however when she mentions being unable to say "I love you" to Adrien, Alya suggest that she gets help from her friends.

As Ladybug, Marinette can find it difficult keep Alya out of harm's way, due to her obsession with tracking and interacting with Ladybug, which has gotten her caught by akumatized villains before (such as in "The Pharaoh"). Regardless, she describes Alya to Cat Noir as "bossy, feisty, and bold" and expressing that she is always thankful for Alya's help. She doesn't mind being filmed for her Ladyblog website while giving her comments in interviews. Both as alter egos, they get along well.

Sapotis 316

Ladybug with Rena Rouge.

In "Sapotis", Master Fu allows Marinette to choose a Miraculous to give to a trustworthy candidate via her Lucky Charm telling her that she and Cat Noir cannot win the fight without aid. Accordingly, Ladybug selects Alya and gave her the Fox Miraculous to temporarily assist them to defeat Sapotis. While working with her, Ladybug notices that Rena Rouge becomes easily wrapped up in the excitement, reminding her to stay on track. Despite this, Ladybug likes working with Rena Rouge, and understands how much Alya enjoys being a superhero. Nonetheless, in obedience to Master Fu's requirements, she pressures Alya to keep her promise to return the Fox Miraculous and gets exasperated when she is initially reluctant to give it back. Trusting Alya to make the right choice due to her own imminent detransformation, Marinette expresses relief that Alya does.

Sapotis 487

Ladybug reminds Alya of her promise to return the Fox Miraculous.

In "Syren", Marinette convinced Master Fu to allow Alya to continue occasionally being Rena Rouge, though she must still return the Miraculous at the end of each mission that she is conscripted for. In the "Heroes' Day" finale, Marinette, as Ladybug, calls on Alya to become Rena Rouge once again to help fight against Scarlet Moth's akumatized army and apologizes for revealing her identity to Nino. When the heroine sees her get struck with Dark Cupid's arrows, she encourages Rena Rouge to not give into negative emotions. They continue to work together in later episodes as well. When she is turned into Miracle Queen's servant in "The Battle of the Miraculous", as Ladybug, Marinette is determined to save her.

In "Gang of Secrets", when Alya and her friends are akumatized into their previous supervillain forms, Ladybug, in an attempt to find out where the akumatized object is, she captures Lady Wifi and incentivizes her to fight against Shadow Moth's akumatization. After reminding her about her identity as Rena Rouge and totally trusting her, Ladybug was very impressed that she did the one thing no one else could: deakumatize and free herself from Shadow Moth's control. After defeating the supervillains and Alya returning the Fox Miraculous, Ladybug confesses to her she is lucky to have a friend like her.

She possesses an absolute trust in Alya in "Mr. Pigeon 72", after revealing her secret identity, even letting her know the code to access the Miracle Box inside her art supplies box. Alya is shown to be worthy of that trust, as she helps Ladybug understand the extent of her powers, allowing the latter to create magical charms that prevent reakumatizations, and even helps her without hesitation when she is in great need. Especially in "Optigami", when she needed her help in defeating Style Queen upon seeing that Rena Rouge also gave the Turtle Miraculous to Nino she was briefly angry but decided they could his help. However even after defeating the titular villain through Alya's actions she knew of Shadow Moth's real plan warning her that the Nino they had was a fake and their enemies were using the knowledge they gained against them. After discovering that Shadow Moth had gotten sneakier and more dangerous in his attempts to get their powers, Ladybug decides to make Alya a full team member and in the event if something happens her possible successor.

Despite having full trust in Alya and knowing she would never betray her, Marinette feared for her safety (as Shadow Moth knew her identity as Rena Rouge), getting paranoid with nightmares about Alya betraying her and telling the villain who she was. After being captured by Sentibubbler and becoming unable to transform at the risk of revealing her identity, Marinette is left with no other choice but to trust Alya to solve everything, which she does. After neutralizing Shadow Moth's plan and even with Rena Rouge convincing him that Ladybug would never give her the Fox Miraculous again, Marinette's trust in her was renewed now she is certain she did the right thing giving her the Fox Miraculous permanently.

Another sign of Marinette's total trust towards Alya is entrusting her best friend with her own Miraculous, giving her the role as Ladybug, when she needs to get out of Paris, in case something that happens in "Hack-San".

With Rena Rouge "out of the picture", Ladybug is aware that Alya is continuing her adventures as Rena Furtive however in "Rocketear", she heard Alya having a hard time staying in the shadows and it led to misunderstanding between her and Nino leading to his akumatization and after he was deakumatized Marinette apologized for the trouble she caused. She also trusted Alya to deal with the situation unaware that Alya told Nino that she is still active as Rena.

In "Shadow Moth's Last Stand", during the fight against Strikeback Marinette figured out that Rena told Nino her secret. After the sentimonster's defeat she receives the Fox Miraculous from a remorseful yet understanding Alya that she doesn't need superpowers to be a supportive friend.

From "Miraculous Paris", as Ladybug she saw Alya out on the streets calling out to her informing the heroine of Monarch's plan despite being of herself she had her support. And as apart of the plan they would have Alya kamikotized into Ubquity again to distract Monarch and after foiling the real plan, Shadybug and Claw Noir reform, Alya is kamikotized for the final time sending the alternate heroes home.

In "Jubilation", in her dream after recovering the Miraculouses they are returned to their rightful owners and Rena is seen attending her and Cat Noir's wedding. Upon seeing the statues of her allies being used against her reminds Ladybug of her failure and how much she misses her as Rena Rouge in "Determination".

In "Transmission", being aware of Scarabella's existence Marinette knows that Tikki chose Alya to be her successor after she surrendered her earrings. Then, she stopped by to see that everything was fine or so she thought seeing the kwamis powers ripple everywhere as well as a paralyzed Alya; Marinette figured out that Monarch had discovered her best friend's identity and stole her Miraculous after both jewels were retrieved Marinette resumed her mantle and asked for her help as Scarabella in "Revelation".

In "Re-creation", Ladybug unknowingly had Alya's help in defeating the Miraculized army. After Monarch's defeat, wish, as well as reforging the jewels back to their original forms, Marinette gives Trixx and his miraculous back to Alya on a permanent basis happy to be reunited with her and the whole team.

Sabrina Raincomprix/Miss Hound[]

Marinette isn't close to Sabrina, but she feels bad that Chloé abuses her so unfairly. That said, she appears to dislike her presence due to the latter's attempts to nurture a dependence off of her. In "The Evillustrator" when she stands up for Sabrina, she is surprised that Sabrina immediately tries to befriend her, including doing her geography homework for her, much to her discomfort. Since she agrees to go to a party with the Evillustrator in order to defeat him, she sadly tells Sabrina that working on the presentation later at night won't work, which greatly upsets Sabrina, and she is hurt when Sabrina accuses her of being just like Chloé. After that, Sabrina usually follows Chloé in bullying Marinette, which upsets her. On occasion, Marinette does show kindness to Sabrina, such as when she frees her hand from the magic box in "Darkblade" and in "Santa Claws" when she gives her a Christmas log.


In "Queen Banana", Marinette sees that Chloé's attitude towards everyone has gotten even more sour even towards Sabrina. In "Penalteam", Marinette discovers Sabrina's love for soccer and allows her to play the game.

In "Confrontation", Sabrina warns Marinette about Chloé and Lila are planning to falsify her classmates' files and blame it on her. Working together they devise a plan to reveal their deceitful nature to their friends and school faculty.

As Ladybug, Marinette is less annoyed with protecting her than Chloé, and she is thankful for Sabrina's help at times. In "Catalyst" after Sabrina is deakumatized, she hugs Ladybug, relieved she was still around. When Sabrina says she will spread the word about what really happened, Ladybug thanks her.

In "Penalteam", as Ladybug, she gives Sabrina the Dog Miraculous but seeing her hesitate about fighting her best friend the heroine explained that Chloé was buried underneath the titular villain and that she would be fighting to save her.

Like the other team members she made Miss Hound inactive after losing the Dog Miraculous.

In "Multiplication", with her permission as her alter ego through Alix's father she was informed about Alix's fate as Bunnyx. In "Jubilation", in her dream after recovering the Miraculouses they are returned to their rightful owners and Miss Hound is seen attending her and Cat Noir's wedding. Upon seeing the statues of her allies being used against her in "Determination" reminds Ladybug of her failure and how much she misses her.

As Ladybug, she saw that Chloe was responsible for Sabrina's akumatization again in "Adoration", this time sinking to a whole new low when she was forced by Chloe to surrender her morals and beliefs in the law just to save their "friendship". Once she was deakumatized the heroine harbored no ill will towards her giving a magical charm to always remind her of her beliefs.

In "Recreation", after Monarch's defeat, wish, as well as reforging the jewels back to their original forms, Marinette gives Barkk and her miraculous back to Sabrina on a permanent basis happy to be reunited with her and the whole team.

Nino Lahiffe/Carapace[]

Marinette and Nino get along well as friends. She never realized he had a crush on her in "Animan" until he admits it after it's gone, but when they're at the zoo and he lied needing help getting together with Alya, she is excited and eager to bring him and her best friend together. In "Simon Says", she is invited to see him perform on The Challenge, but she is grounded by her parents. On occasion, she can get a bit annoyed with him, like with his filming enthusiasm in "Horrificator". In "Anansi", Marinette sees that Nino and Alya get along so well to where she admits that those are in perfect sync with each other. In "Cat Blanc", she believes that Nino would never reveal her identity jeopardizing a close friend.


Like her, Nino wasn't fooled by Adrien's cousin Felix's trick in "Felix". When Marinette voiced her concerns about Adrien to Nino in "Risk" like Alya he didn't believe her finding it strange if Adrien didn't want to model why did he talk to him.

In "Illusion", Marinette was asked by Nino to join his resistance group then, to discover how Monarch kept transferring the miraculous powers to his villains. Upon hearing him wanting to cause an akumatization she was hesitant at first then agrees to go with the plan hoping his plan bears fruit unaware that they are being spyed on.

Like everyone else in "Revelation", through the alliance ring was tricked by Hoaxer.

As Ladybug, she is aware of Nino's admiration of her, for saving Paris and how excited he is whenever she and Cat Noir are around. He even invites them as his special guests for The Challenge, saying they wouldn't let him down. In "Zombizou" after Alya becomes infected, Ladybug wanted Nino to come with them and shows great concern for him when he chose to stay behind.

Anansi 396

Ladybug with Carapace.

In "Anansi", seeing that Nino would do anything to save Alya, showing great concern that he would get hurt. After saving him from Anansi as Ladybug, she asks for his help stalling the villain until she returns. When he is doubtful, she encourages him by understanding that it's not always strength that saves the day but courage and determination putting total trust in him. Fighting off Anansi with enough time, Ladybug returns and presents him with the Turtle Miraculous and, as Carapace, helps the heroes defeat the titular villain. While working with him, he becomes slightly doubtful of his capabilities but quickly takes to them, although he has a bit of trouble calling the heroine by her proper name. After the mission, he quickly returns the bracelet she praises him for a job well done.

In "Catalyst", Marinette is proud that Nino said Ladybug showed him what cool is really about. In the "Heroes' Day" finale, Marinette, as Ladybug, calls on Nino to become Carapace once again to help fight against Scarlet Moth's akumatized army and apologizes for revealing his identity to Alya. The two continue to work well together in later adventures.

When he is turned into Miracle Queen's servant in "The Battle of the Miraculous", as Ladybug, Marinette is determined to save him. Just like with Adrien, she was able to tell the real Nino from a sentimonster copy through via her lucky charm in "Sentibubbler".

In "Rocketear", when she hears Carapace's concern about Rena's absence during the latest mission as Ladybug, she said only he was needed. However Marinette sees that pushing Alya's fan worship to Cat Noir resulted in Nino believing that Alya and Cat Noir were a couple then his akumatization. As Ladybug and with Rena Furtive's help, by showing what really happened that night she was able to stop the boys from fighting.

In "Shadow Moth's Last Stand", Ladybug fights beside Carapace for the final time during the scuffle against Strikeback seeing him use his shell-ter to defend Rena, she glared at him knowing that he was told Alya's secret until she loses the Turtle Miraculous making him inactive.

In "Multiplication", with her permission as her alterego through Alix's father he was informed about Alix's fate as Bunnyx. In "Jubilation", in her dream after recovering the Miraculouses they are returned to their rightful owners and Carapace is seen attending her and Cat Noir's wedding. Upon seeing the statues of her allies being used against her reminds Ladybug of her failure and how much she misses him.

While fighting Monarch, as a disguised and depowered Ladybug, she was surprised to see Nino come to her defense taking a venom hit for her. After both heroes jewels have retrieved she thanked him and the Resistance for their help in "Deflagration".

In "Re-creation", Ladybug unknowingly had Nino's help in defeating the Miraculized army. After Monarch's defeat, wish, as well as reforging the jewels back to their original forms, Marinette gives Wayzz and his miraculous back to Nino on a permanent basis happy to be reunited with him and the whole team.

Master Wang Fu[]

TC (8)

Marinette officially meets Master Fu.

When they first meet, Marinette, unaware of Master Wang Fu's importance as the Great Guardian, saves him from oncoming traffic in "Ladybug & Cat Noir". She brushes off dropping a box of macarons in order to rescue him and tells him to have a nice day as she runs to school. Later, when she takes Tikki to him to get healed in "Princess Fragrance", she worries about keeping Tikki's species a secret from him, but she shows immense gratitude to him for healing her, although curious about how he did it.

In awe of Tikki's seriousness about the Great Guardian and his need of the Miraculous Spellbook, Marinette officially meets Wang Fu in "The Collector". Despite understanding his importance and agreeing to help him stop Hawk Moth, she struggled to trust and tell him everything she knows when evidence points to Adrien being Hawk Moth's secret identity. She finally opens up to him after she figures out that neither Adrien nor his father are Hawk Moth -- unaware that Gabriel tricked her -- and she agrees to be honest with him about her feelings and the information she gathers. From there, she continues to visit and view him as her teacher, patiently listening to his knowledge and asking questions whenever confused or curious. His teasing flusters her at times, becoming embarrassed when he guesses her initial unwillingness to tell him about where she found the book is because of someone she loves. Meanwhile, she shares his determination to retrieve the Butterfly Miraculous from Hawk Moth and restore balance to the universe before the Ladybug Miraculous and Cat Miraculous are used to make reality-bending wishes. In "Sapotis", she also is respectful and obedient to Wang's request to be careful with the Miraculous she takes out by making the right choice for a user and getting it back to Wang Fu afterward.

Sapotis 230

Master Fu allows Marinette to pick another Miraculous holder.

In "Syren" after she returns the Fox Miraculous to him again, he notices she is troubled and lets her speak her mind. She talks about Cat Noir's frustration, and he tells her that there will be a right time to speak. They later work together to find the right ingredient to unlock aquatic powers, Marinette suggesting an actual tear of joy, and so tells Wang Fu jokes to make him laugh. She then tells him she feels it's time to fill in Cat Noir on everything, to which he agrees. After saving Paris, he gives her the vials to unlock all the new powers and to keep them safe.

During "Anansi", she approaches Master Fu telling him that she needs help fighting the villain, as Anansi is about to take Cat Noir's Miraculous. Considering the situation carefully, Marinette asks for his Miraculous, which he allows. During "Style Queen", she approaches Master Fu again who tells her of Cat Noir's fate. In "Malediktator" when Master Wang Fu is still unsure about Chloé wielding the Bee Miraculous, Marinette remains firm with her choice, hoping that being a superhero will give her rival a chance to grow having the guardian's support.

In the "Heroes' Day" finale after successfully defeating Hawk Moth's akumatized army, she is praised by Master Fu for doing a good job.

When she comes to Master Fu's aid in "Backwarder", Marinette is surprised of his alias Mr. Chan and that he chose her to become the next guardian, aware he won't live forever. She is also asked by him to give his letter to Marianne, finding it very sweet that he has a crush on her. After Ladybug gives her the correct letter, she and Tikki watch them from not faraway, aware that Marianne and Wang will declare their feelings for each other someday.

Feast 072

Marinette learns about Fu's past.

She learns of his mistake in "Feast" when his old sentimonster returns, and Wang explains that when he was young, he was unhappy with his life as a guardian. During a training session, he became hungry and angry that his life changed because of it. So Wang used the Peacock Miraculous to create his creature, but the sentimonster fed off of his hunger and resentment and went out of control, causing the temple and everyone to be destroyed as well as losing the book and the Peacock and Butterfly Miraculouses. Realizing what Hawk Moth would do, Marinette expresses no fear towards the creature and asks her master to trust that her and Cat Noir can beat it. However, she receives a letter from Wang saying that he took her Miraculous back in order to protect her from a sentimonster.

Feast 233

Marinette runs to help Master Fu.

Knowing that Wang is in trouble, Marinette rushes to help him. Despite being powerless, she and Cat Noir use their creativity to distract the creature. When he comes to a resolve, Marinette receives her earrings back, and by diving into the belly of the beast, the heroes manage to defeat the sentimonster then is thanked by the Master.

No Screenshot

Marinette and Kagami taking a selfie with their orange juice.

In "Ikari Gozen", Marinette is paired up with Kagami for a friendship game where the prize is spending time with Adrien. She dislikes the idea of working with her because they both share the crush on him and tries to sabotage their own game so that Kagami won't be with Adrien. Unknown to Marinette, Kagami is in fact trying to be friends with her and, when they trade cellphones for the game, she discovers that Kagami doesn't have any other contacts except her mother and that she was using an app about how to make friends to try to bond with her. This causes her to give Kagami another chance at being friends and shows it by defending her from the latter's mother and helping her hide once she hears Mrs. Tsurugi being akumatized by Hawk Moth. After Ikari Gozen's defeat, they, despite losing the game, become actual friends and start to spend time together to get to know each other better.

In "Mr. Pigeon 72", discovering that Adrien and Kagami broke up, Marinette, instead of taking advantage of the situation to win his heart, she decides to console Kagami and help her get back together with Adrien, despite the former's stating she was over him. She drags her to the pool where he was making a commercial and does many attempts to make them fall in love again, but ends miserably, especially because of her unwillingness to get back with Adrien. After the titular villain is defeated, Kagami tells Marinette that everything she had said about what she would feel when falling in love again for Adrien was what the latter was feeling, even adding she was perfect for him.

She takes Kagami's advice about practicing her love attempts with a partner in "Glaciator 2" to help better her attempt in admitting her feelings to Adrien. After the fencing tourament Marinette was dragged by Kagami asking if she admitting her feelings when she said not yet Kagami was disappointed, upon hearing her acting strange Marinette realized she was giving her advice from a manga book. Laughing and aware that books aren't always accurate she convinced Kagami to spend more time with her and their friends.

In "Determination", Marinette was tricked by Kagami and Luka into being alone in the wax museum with Adrien so that she can admit her feelings.

She valued Kagami's hard-work at trying to put her together with Adrien in "Perfection", but seeing they weren't getting anywhere Marinette avoided her unknown that led Lila to make her vulnerable to akumatization. Afterwards, Marinette apologized for avoiding her because she didn't want disappoint her but Kagami retorts with her own disappointment of always having to be perfect so she can be good enough for others and lack of social skills. Realizing that was her problem she embraced her in thanks making Kagami believe they are friends with her emphasizing they are best friends. When worried about that knowing it's Alya's status Marinette also tells her that the love of friends isn't divided but grows and heart-fully accepts her photo of them.

Through friendship Marinette helps Kagami learn another critical lesson in "Protection", as she and Adrien become closer she was unaware of Kagami's mixed feelings. It wasn't until a picnic with him was interrupted by Riposte Prime leaving her shocked more so when she heard her former friend believe she was a manipulator, Marinette tried to reason with her to no avail. Once Kagami is deakumatized, she was sad by her behavior towards her. Marinette asked what happened still believing they were friends and yet was shocked that Kagami was fooled by Lila and dismissed it. Then, after Adrien spoke on her behalf, she was shocked that Kagami broke down in tears admitting that she cared about them both; embracing her. Then Kagami felt ashamed by her clouded judgement believing she was weak. Until Marinette told her that showing her true feelings, trying to understand them and moving on isn't a weakness but strength. Following suit, they heard Kagami admit while embraced that she was happy for them but sad for herself.

Marinette knew that just like Adrien, Kagami was going to the Diamond Dance party in "Emotion", she comes across her. After she admits her feelings to "Adrien" and then leaves but is stopped and as a sign of their friendship Kagami lets her take her place as queen of the ball. After being restored she made her presence known to Kagami and shared a hug, the next she shared some ice cream with her and Adrien; seeing the progress Marinette made in his relationship with Adrien she praised her.

Ikari Gozen 424

Ladybug encourages Ryuko.

After Kagami is captured by her akumatized mother, Marinette does everything in her power as Ladybug to save her, even giving her the Dragon Miraculous. She is surprised when Ryuko reveals herself to Hawk Moth and goes to fight alone. When the fight ends with Cat Noir being captured, Ryuko blames herself for failing, but she encourages her to try again. With Ryuko now listening, they stop Ikari Gozen, save Cat Noir, and include her in their trademark "pound it". Despite her doing so well, Ladybug becomes upset that she can't let Kagami have the Dragon Miraculous again because Hawk Moth knows her identity, leading to her loved ones being in danger. Before leaving, she gives Kagami advice about friendship, saying it's not about quantity but treasuring the friendships you do have.

As Ladybug, she returns the Dragon Miraculous to Kagami warning her about breaking hearts when taking on the duty of hero. When she is turned into Miracle Queen's servant in "The Battle of the Miraculous", as Ladybug, Marinette is determined to save her.

Like the other team members, Ladybug occasionally continues to call on Kagami to become Ryuko when needed until she loses the Dragon Miraculous making her inactive.

In "Jubilation", in her dream after recovering the Miraculouses they are returned to their rightful owners and Ryuko is seen attending her and Cat Noir's wedding. Upon seeing the statues of her allies being used against her reminds Ladybug of her failure and how much she misses them.

In her confusion in "Perfection", she runs away from the situation as Ladybug, finding someone akumatized she cheered in relief but asked why should she be happy about it. Being given a friendship test by Cat Noir, Ladybug was shocked that it was Kagami akumatized again realizing that distancing herself from her caused this she was determined to free her. Understanding that Kagami's belief that she didn't have any friends Ladybug knew what she needed and with the help of many friends, they showed her that she was loved which led her to break free from it.

She praised Kagami for rejecting the akuma and showed that everyone was cheering for her and was gave a magical charm as a reminder of her many friendships. But when she was deakumatized in "Protection", Ladybug tried to give her another one but she refused knowing they didn't work and yet after a heart relieving conversation with her friends she accepts it.

During "Emotion", after being restored as Ladybug, she looked for Felix, but seeing him hounded by an angry Kagami and Adrien worried about her safety she smiled.

In "Pretension", when Kagami is chased by her akumatized mother once again, Ladybug alongside with Cat Noir try to protect her, only for her being taken away by Argos to save her himself. And when confronting the detransformed Félix, Ladybug demanded him to release Kagami, believing her to be his prisoner, only for her to defend him, stating he's not her enemy, much to the heroine's surprise, but still trusted Kagami to help her to deakumatize Tomoe and also let Félix escape with the Peacock Miraculous.

From "Representation", Marinette discovered that Kagami and Felix were in a relationship and through Once A Upon A Time, they sought her help as Ladybug so they could be together and knew of her identity as the heroine.

In "Re-creation", after Monarch's defeat, wish, as well as reforging the jewels back to their original forms, Marinette gives Longg and her miraculous back to Kagami on a permanent basis happy to be reunited with her and the whole team.

Plagg[]

Style Queen (402)

Officially meeting Plagg.

At first, Marinette didn't know Plagg but was aware that he is Cat Noir's kwami. She officially meets Plagg in "Style Queen", knowing of the situation she doesn't want him to risk using his powers dangerously, but appreciated his help in defeating Style Queen. She is relieved when he reassures her that Cat Noir will be back next time.

After having their memories erased in "Oblivio", Marinette meets Plagg again, but, like Tikki, she is afraid of him.

Reflekdoll 250

Becoming Plagg's temporary owner.

In "Reflekdoll", they meet again when he mistakes her for Adrien who was transformed into Reflekta. Then, she bombards him with questions but is told, "It's a long story." Regardless, she transforms into Lady Noir, and after the titular villain's defeat, Marinette bids farewell to Plagg, believing their time together was awesome. During "Kwamibuster", she becomes angry that Plagg's obsession with cheese caused her and Cat Noir's identities to be compromised, advising her partner to make sure this doesn't happen again and that they are a perfect match.

During Mr. Ramier's 72nd akumatization, as Ladybug she has Plagg's help again in deakumatizing him.

After Cat Noir's departure, Marinette got an earful from Plagg about the reason why his owner left was because he felt she was paying more attention to the other holders than him leading to his heart breaking in "Kuro Neko" and aware that they needed to make up Plagg persuaded her to return the ring to his original owner. But Marinette stubbornly refuses, she tries to choose a new owner for him but being aware of the rules it was to no avail, until the kwami convinced her to let him choose his owner unaware she was being tricked into returning the ring to his original owner as he planned.

In "Passion", after being marked by the titular villain; Marinette briefly becomes Plagg's owner leading to the return of Lady Noire until the said villain's defeat.

During "Kwami's Choice", seeing Kitty Noir as Cat Noir's successor Marinette was aware that it wasn't just Tikki that picked a new owner but Plagg too. However the kwamis adventures with Scarabella and Kitty Noire was short lived especially when Plagg and Tikki end up captured by Monarch but not before they use their powers alerting their original owners. As Ladybug along with the Resistance, Marinette rescued Plagg and yet, they were both baffled on how their enemy found them so easy nonetheless he was prepared to find a new owner until his guardian told him to return to Cat Noir to which Plagg agrees to but wished to say goodbye to Kitty Noire before he does which she allows.

Once resuming her mantle as Ladybug she was proud of Plagg for his bravery.

They didn't reunite until the "Last Day", when she saw him appear in her hiding place in the Agreste mansion with Cat Noir's ring sadly informing her that she is on her own. After the battle ended in Monarch's defeat, Marinette didn't listen to Plagg's nor Tikki's judgement about trusting him which led to her downfall and the kwamis being taken from her. After Venom effects wore off when the Bee Miraculous was surrendered. Marinette saw Plagg in his true form as the wish was being granted the kwami of destruction was returned to her then back to Cat Noir.

Jessica Keynes/Sparrow/Eagle[]

At first, Marinette met Jessica as her first alter ego, the Sparrow, when the American heroes saved the plane they were traveling on for Friendship Week. As things continued, Marinette got along pretty well with her, seen at their rooftop party.

As Ladybug, when she saw that Sparrow needed help during the fight against Techlonizer, the heroine jumped to her rescue. When trouble was escalating in New York because of Hawk Moth akumatizing Techno Pirate again into Miraclonizer, leading to all the adult heroes running wild, she was called upon by the young American heroes for her help. While trying to contain the crisis, Ladybug and Sparrow had realized that Hawk Moth was using the powers of a Miraculous that they had never seen before: the Eagle Miraculous. Through careful planning and by tricking Doorman into helping them, they were able to retrieve the miraculous, and needing to return the heroes to normal, Ladybug tossed it to Sparrow. Now with her changed into Eagle and the effects of Liberation reversed, they were able to defeat Techno Pirate. Afterwards, seeing Eagle attempting to return the miraculous but also seeing Eagle's courage, bravery, determination and noble heart, Ladybug allowed her to keep it, knowing she'll use it well.

As Ladybug, when she saw that Uncanny Valley needed help during the fight against Techlonizer the heroine jumped to her rescue and was horrified she was destroyed but relieved that the robot heroine was repaired. Feeling devastated after the fight, Marinette was surprised that Uncanny Valley came to her figuring out her identity along with asking for help in stopping Hawk Moth and Miraclonizer. But Marinette was hesitant believing she couldn't be her alter ego without Cat Noir, when Uncanny mentions being able to bring him back she trusts her with the hero's Miraculous. After Cat Noir was retrieved, through careful planning and by tricking Doorman into helping them, they were able to retrieve the jewel back and with Eagle reversing the effects of Liberation they were able to defeat Techno Pirate.

Briefly, she is relieved that she found someone who understands her, and they formally introduce themselves to each other. While bonding, Marinette explains the importance of her earrings, and Fei sympathizes with her. Then they leave for a place where her earrings were found, but a man, named Cash, wanted a hefty price for them. Fei tried to negotiate, but Marinette couldn't understand them.

She learns it was Fei's job to protect the Prodigious. Knowing the situation, she tells Fei to hide but thanks her when she comes in as Ladybear and as the new Renren. During the scuffle against Hawk Moth and King Cash, she saw that Fei had trouble unlocking the power of the dragon.

As of "The Last Day", Ladybug unknowingly had Ladydragon's help in defeating the Miraculized army.

Kwamis[]

At first, Marinette didn't know about the existence of the other kwamis except hers, Cat Noir's and Hawk Moth's until she learns about the rest of them from Master Fu.

In "Sandboy", Marinette is worried for Nooroo and hopes to free him from Hawk Moth's clutches she was really close to freeing him along with his siblings in "Destruction".

Through, the use of Peacock Miraculous, Ladybug discovered in "Heroes Day", that Hawk Moth had Dusuu in his clutches as well.

As for the kwamis inside the Miracle Box, they get along quite well. They allow her to use their respective jewels to defeat the titular villain in "Kwamibuster", and they all live with her as of "Miracle Queen" when she becomes the guardian.

Truth (42)

Taking care of one kwami to sixteen.

In "Truth" and "Lies", the kwamis gave Marinette a hard time to due their fascination with the modern world. They become even harder to control in "Furious Fu" when they all beg to see Master Fu again.

However, they do genuinely care for Marinette, as shown in "Gang of Secrets", when they try to help Marinette cope with her sadness. As well as with her Guardian duties such as helping her clean up her room and design work in "Mr. Pigeon 72" and "Queen Banana".

During "Hack-San", when going on vacation in London with her parents Marinette told the kwamis to behave themselves and had Alya temporarily watch over them.

When some of them were found by Manon and her friends in "Simpleman", she agreed with the children calling them kwashies. In "Dearest Family", Marinette attempted to get some galette pieces for them, but discovering they were eaten by Tikki aware of what happened she didn't listen to their warning about Tikki's craving but quickly realized how right they were especially Sass. After Tikki calmed down and Marinette's family was saved, she offered them pieces of galette but seeing them hesitant Marinette assured them that Tikki had her cravings under control and most likely will listen when the kwamis warn her about something.

In "Shadow Moth's Final Attack", her obsession over Adrien (and trickery by Felix) causes her to lose them and their respective jewels to Shadow Moth calling herself the worst guardian ever. But despite it all and giving into brief despair she determined to rescue them all.

Due to Monarch's greed, she saw him hastily overtax the kwamis powers in "Evolution" but using his greed against him she managed to save Fluff but not the others when returning to her room, Marinette began miss them.

Months prior before their capture Marinette trained the kwamis on what to do if they were captured by Monarch and forced to tell him her location. When the plan was put into action in "Destruction", she was briefly reunited with them bearing no ill will at what Monarch forced them to do. But was distraught when the villain escapes with them. In "Jubilation", her greatest desire is to see them free and reunited with their rightful owners.

Through all the kwamis that Monarch used Ladybug realized that Paris wasn't terrorized by sentimonsters anymore making her suspect that Duusu was freed through Felix's trade but was his owner confirming that in "Emotion". Still harboring a grudge against Felix in "Pretension", she intended to get Duusu back too but when backed into a corner not liking it but knowing of Duusu's situation and refusing to let Monarch gain another power she let him escape with Felix.

From "Representation", through Once A Upon A Time, Marinette learned of Duusu's history with the Agreste's and Graham de Vanily families in how they used the kwami's power to create Adrien and Felix but also how their recklessness, fear, greed and naivety put everyone in severe trouble.

It wasn't until the "Last Day", that Marinette discovered that the other kwamis were held as prisoners in the Agreste Mansion. During Bug Noire's duel against Monarch, despite her managing to get Wayzz back she couldn't call on his power. From the mastermind, she horrifyingly learned that their magic was remade so that only he, the Miraculized and Akumatized could use them. Regardless she was determined than ever to free them. Especially Nooroo once he was freed Marinette would choose his owner personally but during the scuffle Nooroo became lost again. After Monarch's defeat, but before his wish was made she saw him relinquish the remaining kwamis and once they were reunited she remade their miraculouses to their proper forms and allowed the kwamis to stay with their owners on a permanent basis making her dream in "Jubliation" real.

Su-Han[]

Furious Fu (128)

Meeting Su-Han.

At first, Marinette was shocked by his appearance in her room in "Furious Fu", after being confirmed by the kwamis that he is the head of the guardians. Their relationship began to sour when she received a harsh scolding from him about her and Cat Noir being too inexperienced and immature to use the Miraculous and asked for them back. But reminded of Master Fu's trust in them she defied him and after saving her akumatized former master, Marinette was starting to gain Su-Han's approval but was warned that he'd keep an eye on her coming for the box if she failed.

She was surprised to see him again in "Ephemeral", criticizing her for handing out 9 Miraculouses to defeat an akumatized villain, when she only needed Cat Noir. Seeing that it was done because she didn't know Cat Noir's identity and hearing him claim that Cat Noir was like Shadow Moth, Ladybug believed his assumptions were farfetched, but despite her reasoning she was forced to find out, and if not, then Su-Han will take his Miraculous and find a new holder. Sorrowfully agreeing to his demands, Ladybug told him her partner's identity satisfying him. But he never learns his identity due to Sass' power and after Ladybug explains that his actions were based on his fears, he accepts this. Before he leaves, they do Ladybug and Cat Noir's "pound-it".

Hearing of the kwamis' capture in "Multiplication", he harshly demanded the heroes explanation. But before he could scold them any further, Ladybug and Cat Noir scolded Su-Han back about the progress they made, finding a lead to Monarch and about him doing nothing to help them. To her surprise the Grandmaster bowed his head in shame as they were right. Hearing him sorrowfully admit, that he failed to watch them properly due to distractions of the modern world. Easily forgiving him, Marinette asked him to help set things right soon after she saw him leave for the temple to get help.

As of "The Last Day", Ladybug unknowingly had Su-Han's help in defeating the Miraculized army.

After Monarch's defeat, redemption, and wish, Marinette informed Su-Han about retrieving the Miraculous back and was watched by the guardian as she remodel them back to their

original form, receiving the celestial guardian's graditude and gave them to her friends to be permanent holders in order to prevent the Miraculous from being stolen again.

Zoé Lee/Vesperia/Kitty Noire[]

Sole Crusher (17)

First meeting Zoe.

Marinette gets along well with Zoé. She met Zoé when the latter arrived at Paris and came to the former's family's bakery to try French croissants. Despite meeting after one of Marinette's tumbles, they immediately get along, with Marinette welcoming her warmly, admiring her fashion style and after learning Zoé didn't have any friends, she hasted to give her a lot of baking goods, conquering Zoé's sympathy.

Afterwards, they met each other at school, revealing that Zoé is Chloé's half-sister; Marinette was the first not to judge her, having already met her real self, but when she tried to talk to her, Zoé mistreated her. Marinette didn't let that change her opinion on Zoé, believing she was just trying to please her sister, and convinced her through texting that she didn't have to pretend to be someone she wasn't with her.

After Zoé was akumatized into Sole Crusher, she captured Marinette, but the latter tried to reason with her. Despite being able to reach and get through to her initially, Shadow Moth was able to convince her otherwise. After she was deakumatized, Marinette welcomed her and introduced Zoé to her friends.

During the film making project in "Queen Banana", she encouraged Zoé to stand up for her role when Chloé took over everything. When Chloe's anger and jealously caused her to become akumatized into the titular villain and went on a rampage for Zoé, Marinette led her to safety. After Chloé was deakumatized, seeing that Zoé cunningly convinced her sister to take the charm by claiming it was a gift from their mother, Marinette praised Zoé, believing that she was the good influence Chloé needed.

In "Deflagration", When Chloé tries to humiliate Marinette by trying to ridicule her dream of being Adrien's girlfriend, Zoé, moved by her desire to protect their happiness as a couple, gathers the courage she needed to confront her half-sister and drag her to her seat, Marinette was grateful for what Zoé did for her and Adrien.

From Alya, Marinette found that Zoe was invited to the Diamond Dance along with the rest of her family but knowing that they were meeting at the cinema she talked to her why she wasn't at the party. Until, Zoe explained that she preferred movie brain-eating zombies opposed to real ones describing the party in such a manner. Making her remember of the same parties and people she had to pretend to be friends with back in New York but due to her coming to Paris and finding real friends Zoe was happier being herself. On top of that knowing that half of her a family distaste for her she believed no one would miss her as compared to Adrien and aware of Marinette's desire to talk to Adrien, Zoe let her have her mask invite.

"Adoration", while planning the end of the school year party with Zoe, while asking her stepfather about having the party at the Effiel Tower, Marinette discovered that Zoe compared to her sister has more meaningful relationships with the Hotel staff and grown in confidence. When she was framed by Chloe for stealing which led to expulsion Marinette was shocked that Zoe took the blunt of the blame until by defeating Vanisher the innocence of both girls was proven. Then, although Marinette admired what Zoe did, she allowed her to express her feelings of love to Adrien but Zoe actually reveals that she had a crush on her since "Sole Crusher", Marinette was touched but Zoe accepted her feelings belonged to Adrien.

As Ladybug, in "Sole Crusher", she stopped the titular villain from destroying the city, and after Zoé's deakumatization, she gave her the Magical Charm as a reminder to embrace her true self.

Queen Banana (342)

Choosing Zoe as the new Bee Miraculous holder.

When Chloé was akumatized and went on a rampage in "Queen Banana", seeing Zoé's courage in facing her akumatized half-sister, Ladybug asked for Zoé's help in stopping her; but seeing that she was hesitant in taking the Bee Miraculous, afraid of Chloé's ill reaction. The heroine convinced her otherwise and, after Zoé trasformed into Vesperia, the two heroines worked well together; later, Chloé was deakumatized, but still harbored a grudge against the heroine. And yet, Ladybug voiced concerns about Chloé being akumatized again, but then listened to Vesperia's idea on how to get her sister to accept the magical charm, demonstrating her confidence in the new superheroine.

Like the other team members Ladybug continues to call on her for various missions until she loses the Bee Miraculous making her inactive. In "Jubilation", in her dream after recovering the Miraculouses they are returned to their rightful owners and Vesperia is seen attending her and Cat Noir's wedding. Upon seeing the statues of her allies being used against her reminds Ladybug of her failure and how much she misses them.

In "Kwamis' Choice", Marinette was aware of Kitty Noire's existence as Plagg's new owner but she didn't know that the female cat holder was Zoe but through the news of seeing how well she and Scarabella worked together, Marinette believed the city was good hands. Or so she thought, it wasn't until they all felt the kwamis use their powers alerting they were captured by Monarch making Marinette figure out that Scarabella's and Kitty Noire's identities have been compromised having both Marinette and Cat Noir resume their mantles.

In "Re-creation", Ladybug unknowingly had Zoé's help in defeating the Miraculized army. After Monarch's defeat, wish, as well as reforging the jewels back to their original forms, Marinette gives Pollen and her miraculous back to Zoe on a permanent basis happy to be reunited with her and the whole team.

Jeanne d'Arc[]

At first, as Ladybug; Marinette briefly meets the real Jeanne through a side effect of Sass' Second Chance in "Ephemeral" even though the former holder perceived her as an enemy before being sent back to her own time.


In "Reunion", after Marinette understands the true power of her kwagatama she summons a memory version of Jeanne at first being stunned at her presence. Then asked her about her romantic life with her Cat Noir only to be voiced the spirit's annoyance about being asked something so trivial but when Marinette wished to talk to another holder Jeanne explained that she could only talk to those who have the Miraculous as them. When Jalil was akumatized into the Pharoah again, Ladybug was surprised to discover that she was still here as the spirit said she didn't end the reunion.

In order to get to Pharoah by answering a question she saw Jeanne's knowledge and during the fight against him they were polar opposites as Jeanne was quick to take action while Marinette was a thinker after convincing Pharoah to use his book to discover the truth leading to his deakumatization. Marinette received great praise from Jeanne and the answer to her question, hearing her story Marinette learned during Jeanne's time, she and her Black Cat, Dark Grimalkin were on opposite sides of the Hundred Years war fighting in the name of their monarchs. But after finding out their Monarch's deception she and Grimalkin ceased their fighting and fell in love but were branded traitors then fled their horrible fates, relinquished their jewels and disappeared. Then, when Marinette asked if she and Grimalkin lived in peace to which the spirit didn't know only retaining her memories as a holder feeling sorry for her she tried to hug her only to be reminded that she is a spirit and share a laugh before ending the reunion.

Socqueline Wang[]

Marinette and Socqueline have been friends since at least they both were studying at the Collège Françoise Dupont, with their respective mothers being friends with one another.


Despite being friends they were opposites while Socqueline was full of confidence Marinette, lacked it. Because of that, from a flashback in "Derision", she was watched over by her especially when she was bullied by Chloé and more when it came to being careful especially with her crush on Kim. After he played a cruel prank on her, Marinette tearfully admitted to Socquline that she was right. Upon learning that coming to her defense earned Socqueline a two-week suspension due to Chloé threatening Principal Damocles; Socqueline ended up missing the end-of-the-year party and graduation feeling remorseful Marinette attempted to apologize until the latter told her otherwise about not regretting what she had done and inspired her to stand up for herself. Taking her words to heart Marinette modeled her hair like hers.

After Socqueline's graduation from Françoise Dupont, they kind of drifted apart, as they went to study in different schools the next year. However, their friendship remained intact, as seen when they ended up meeting each other again in "Jubilation". Despite Socqueline's initial worry about leaving Marinette to deal with Chloé all by herself, she told her Chloé wasn't a bother no more making Socqueline relieved and proud of Marinette that learned how to stand up to her.

While out jogging Marinette found her dressed up as her alter ego making her aware that she greatly admires the heroes but knowing of the trouble she could get herself into Marinette tried to dissuade her to not take unnecessary risks, as that would also force them to take risks as well. As Ladybug, she unintentionally proved her point when she took Socqueline's alliance ring and used it as her altergo putting in danger regardless, she was determined to save her from Darker Owl after his defeat Ladybug makes her see that the best way for her to help is to not place herself in unnecessary danger. Unknown to her, Marinette received great help from her by discovering a dark secret about the rings. Nevertheless, Socqueline will always help the heroes in their plans, like she did in "Transmission" and "Perfection".

Félix Fathom/Flairmidable/Argos[]

Marinette never knew Félix personally, but was shocked to see him (pretending to be Adrien) sending an insulting video message, and Marinette quickly knew he wasn't Adrien. However that led to Alya, Rose and Juleka's akumatization. Also because of Félix's stealing Adrien's phone, the latter never saw her video where she confessed her love for him.


As Ladybug, they're in bad terms with each other, where after saving Félix from her akumatized friends, he tried to force her to kiss him, which led Ladybug to punch him in self-defense and to realize he wasn't the real Adrien, and Cat Noir arrived and told her he was Félix, Adrien's identical cousin, and Félix quickly managed to steal the Punishers Trio's akumatized tablet, and Ladybug told him to break it to defeat the villains, but was shocked when Félix instead decided to help Hawk Moth to get her and Cat Noir's Miraculouses in exchange of a piece of jewelry.

Despite that encounter, Ladybug was still willing to save Félix from his akumatized uncle (who was really a sentimonster of the real Gabriel Agreste), when the villain was determined to capture him.

In "Risk, after being influenced by said supervillain, Ladybug decided to convince Adrien to stand up to his father instead of forcing him to go in a world trip with Lila Rossi, however she was unaware that Félix and Adrien swapped places to avoid the latter from going to said trip. And this trick led her to lending him the Dog Miraculous, enabling him to become the superhero Flairmidable, and she revealed that her yo-yo allowed her to access to her Miracle Box, quickly they traveled to the past at the time where Risk was akumatized to tag his akumatized object with Fetch and then returned to the desolated present where Flairmidable used his power to retrieve said object and deakumatize Risk, freeing all Parisians from his influence. And Ladybug congratulated "Adrien" for his success and the two did pound it, and in the sewers they detransformed and Marinette once again thanked him for his help and offered to take him to the train, however she was surprised when "Adrien" refused to go back to the train and instead wanted to stay and help her, saying she gave him the courage to stand up to Gabriel, which flattered her.

After recharging the Kwamis, the two met up with the other heroes and introduced Flairmidable to the rest of the team and then explained her plan to defeat the sentimonster Strikeback, and didn't notice Flairmidable secretly tagging her yo-yo with his ball and he quietly abandoned the mission. After defeating Strikeback, Ladybug went to the sewers to retrieve the Dog Miraculous from Félix but he wasn't here and she arrived to the Agreste mansion, finding the real Adrien, who was confused when she asked him for the Dog Miraculous and revealed her she gave it to Félix, much to her horror which intensified when Félix used Fetch to steal her yo-yo and thus the Miraculouses in her box and panics and when retransforming she found he gave away all the Miraculouses to Shadow Moth, who named himself Monarch.

In "Multiplication", shortly after retrieving the Rabbit Miraculous from Monarch. Ladybug informed Cat Noir about her mistaking Félix for Adrien and giving him the Dog Miraculous realizing he must know who Monarch is and quickly used their Space power up to fly to London and find Félix. However at the Fathom apartments, the heroes only found his mother Amelie there claiming that her son hasn't returned home and doesn't know where he was. However, unknown to Ladybug, Amelie was lying to protect her son from them and that he was really in hiding with the Peacock Miraculous in his possession, which he got in exchange of the other Miraculouses.

Due to Félix's actions, Marinette briefly decided to let go of her feelings for Adrien and briefly fell in love with Cat Noir.

They encountered each other in "Emotion", when Marinette infiltrated Gabriel's Diamond's Dance and approached Félix (impersonating Adrien again), told him about her feelings and turned to leave. But Félix took her hand and started dancing with her but told her the party guests were monsters, which quickly made Marinette realize he wasn't Adrien, but Félix, who revealed having the Peacock Miraculous in his possession and after transforming into Argos. He revealed his sentimonster Red Moon, which allowed him to disappear anyone he wanted and quickly kidnapped Marinette, who angrily demanded to know what he did to Adrien, and Argos told her he cared about his cousin and he was lucky to have her and put her inside a dumpster to protect her from Red Moon. Marinette determinedly transformed into Ladybug and watched Argos disappear all Parisians before angrily confronting him about his betrayal in "Strikeback", and giving the Miraculouses to Monarch not caring about endangering innocent people, to which Argos calmly confirmed but corrected her that he worked for no one and only did that to get the Peacock Miraculous and his wish to create a free world without oppressors. But Ladybug refused to surrender her Miraculous and allowed Argos to disappear her to let him see the consequences of his actions, which he did thanks to Adrien and Kagami, and was restored by him.

In "Pretension", learning Argos had returned to Paris and kidnapped Kagami, Ladybug became determined to get her friend and the Peacock Miraculous back, but when she and Cat Noir found them, they were surprised when Kagami defended him, stating she wasn't a prisoner and he wasn't an enemy but misunderstood. And when confronted by the villain Matagi Gozen, Ladybug decided to trust Félix and allow him to escape with the Peacock Miraculous, hoping they won't regret it.

In "Representation", unknown to her that he and Kagami noticed her crying that Adrien went to London, but she was fooled by Felix's impersonation again and then led to the school where she watched him and Kagami put on a play to tell her the truth and face the man of the son that he loves. By learning of Felix's family history she fully understood why Felix did what he did and like Adrien he was sentimonster too.

In "Re-creation", he joined with Team Miraculous on the rooftop and set off on another adventure.

Gabriel Agreste/Betterfly[]

Miraculous World - Paris Special 258

Marinette was surprised when Betterfly saved her.

She first met him as Marinette when he appeared in her room through Alya who was kamikotized into Ubiquity, much to her surprise. However, Betterfly introduced himself, apologized for his sudden appearance and asked for her help to find Ladybug and Cat Noir, to which a distrustful Marinette lied telling him she didn't know how where to find them as she was just a normal girl. But their conversation was cut short by the appearance of Shadybug and Claw Noir, leading Betterfly to take Marinette away to safety.

Once at the Eiffel Tower, Marinette noticed Betterfly receive his purified Kamiko and asked him if it was an Akuma, much to the superhero's confusion, and soon Marinette was saved by the superhero from falling from the tower after it began to fall down because of Claw Noir's Cataclysm, and before the superhero went to confront the rogue Miraculous holders himself, he told her to stay safe and that no one should suffer for a fight that isn't theirs.

Miraculous World - Paris Special 327

Ladybug demanding Shadybug and Claw Noir to release Betterfly.

Seeing the three fight, Marinette was confused until Tikki explained that the trio came from one of billions of parallel universes in the multiverse and that unlike Monarch this incarnation was his good self. Refusing to leave another in need she transformed, despite never believing she would say or do it, Ladybug ordered Shadybug and Claw Noir to release the Butterfly holder and fought alongside him. And after escaping thanks to Betterfly's kamikotizing Cat Noir into an angel-like superhero, they went to the Sewers, where Betterfly told the heroes his story and about his fight against the Supreme asking for their help to stop their counterparts, but Marinette told him about her recent loss of the Miraculous to his bad counterpart Monarch and doubted she and Cat Noir could help his world where they couldn't save their own, to which Betterfly reassured they could as they worked together as a team for the greater good unlike their counterparts, this lifted up Marinette and Adrien's spirits and they agreed to help him.

Miraculous World - Paris Special 836

Ladyfly sent a Kamiko to a willing Gabriel.

When informed by Alya that Shadybug and Claw Noir teamed up with Monarch to set them a trap, Ladybug formulated a plan in where Betterfly willingly lent her his Miraculous and allowed her to kamikotize him to protect her and Cat Noir from Monarch's powers. After reforming Shadybug and Claw Noir and returning the Butterfly Miraculous to Betterfly, just when they were about to go home, Ladybug and the group realized that Monarch hadn't given up this time going after her and Cat Noir's counterparts across the multiverse. Ladybug accepted the kamiko's power turning into Ladybiquity and after their universe counterparts were safe, Ladybug thanked him for helping her to regain hope into defeating Monarch.

In the final battle against Monarch after discovering that he is Gabriel she likely concluded that Betterfly is Gabriel Agreste from an Re-Verse.

Shadybug/Ladybug[]

Marinette first met her alternate universe counterpart, when she and Claw Noir called for Betterfly and threatened to destroy the main universe.

When seeing the three fight, Tikki told Marinette that Shadybug was the holder of the Ladybug Miraculous from one of billions of parallel universes, although a bad version and at seeing her using her powers without detransforming, Tikki told her that using her Miraculous for evil override the limiter countdown but also risked her counterpart's health of corruption which would inevitably destroy her.

Deciding to help Betterfly, Marinette transformed and demanded her counterpart to give up her Miraculous as they weren't meant to be used for evil, only for the greater good, but Shadybug ignored her and attacked her with her Lucky Charm weapons.

When, she, Betterfly and a kamikotized Cat Noir tried to escape the rogue holders, Ladybug noticed Shadybug hanging from Celesticat's belt and unstrapped it, making her bad counterpart fall into the ground.

Detransformed in the sewers, Marinette sadly asked Tikki if Shadybug could be her alternate self in the alternate universe.

Unknown to her, her suspicion was correct as Shadybug when arriving to Marinette's room, found her diary and saw she had a happier life than her and after detransforming, alternate Marinette tried to use her and Adrien's Miraculouses to summon Gimmi to wish to switch lives with her good counterpart, only to fail by the Supreme's blocking seal.

Upon learning her bad counterpart teamed up with Monarch and set them a trap, Ladybug received the Butterfly Miraculous to become Ladyfly and confronted her counterpart, who ranted at her about her depressing life, as unlike good Marinette, she was bullied by Chloé her whole life and didn't have good friends or a loving mom, making Ladyfly realize she read her private diary but confirmed they were the same person, and detransforming, Marinette reassured her she didn't need a magical jewel to change her life but to love herself, which moved Shadybug and at Marinette's suggestion performed a Miraculous Shadybug, changing her outfit and healing her affliction, much to Shadybug's joy who hugged her good counterpart.

Later, when the two reunited with the others, Ladybug asked her counterpart what would be her new superhero name, and Shadybug decided to call herself Ladybug in honor of her main counterpart. After preventing Monarch from stealing the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses from other universes, Ladybug hugged alternate Ladybug, who returned to her world with her new two teammates.

But when Cat believed that there was nothing monstrous about Sentibug despite being so human after the latter summoned a large blaster while she summons a fork. After Ladybug seized the opportunity to grab the Eiffel Tower keychain. She prepared to remove the amok, but stopped after realizing that Cat Noir is right as there is nothing monstrous about Sentibug being except that whoever possesses the amokized object controlled her and that she couldn’t help but follow orders.

Ladybug saddened that Sentibug couldn't be brought back


After fixing the damage, they were sad that Sentibug couldn't be brought back by the Miraculous Ladybug's powers and Ladybug disappointingly agreed that the Peacock Miraculous is even more cruel than the Butterfly Miraculous when used wrongly since the power creates life, can also take it away.

Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth/Monarch[]

Mr

Marinette is delighted when Gabriel declares her hat the winner in a fashion design contest.

Marinette treats Gabriel with respect, knowing how formal and strict he can be as Adrien's father, but she also admires his work as a fashion designer and hopes to be on good terms with him. In "The Collector" finding out that he won't let Adrien go back to school until the book was returned, she gave it back to him, saying she borrowed it believing it was a portfolio of Adrien giving him the impression that she was one of his son's admirers. She asks Gabriel where he got it, being informed he got it during a trip overseas. During "The Queens' Battle", she receives good praise from him when talking about her derby hat design.

In the alternate future of "Cat Blanc", Marinette is approached by Gabriel demanding that her relationship with his son ends to preserve his company's image, and if not, he'll pull Adrien out of school. Not wanting her love to suffer, she tearfully agrees to his demands unaware that it was a ruse just so he could akumatize her.

Over time through Marinette and Adrien becoming a couple, she gets the impression that Gabriel doesn't approve of their relationship then suggested that it might be a misunderstanding and to talk to him in "Emotion".

Pretension 151

Marinette torn between her dream to be a famous fashion designer and Adrien after being offered a bribe/threatened by Gabriel.

But when it does happen in "Pretension", during their talk she discovers that they both have different ideas in fashion as she was willing to listen to others and help express themselves. While her idol compared her to a pancake as with his support Marinette could become the greatest designer but she'd do it without Adrien and was told what the fashion industry is really like unveiling his dark side about he changes people into what he thinks they should be. Even being told that the love she has for his son is nothing more than an illusion, even being pushed to choose between having her future or her dreams. A little saddened she leaves but with a smirk towards Gabriel, Marinette shows him that she'll never give up on her love for Adrien or abandoned him and criticized Gabriel about his pancakes then leaves.

Outside of the mansion, Marinette loses her nerve and hyperventilates asking what she done and couldn't believe she did that unknown to her that her outburst towards her idol made him decide to separate them by the school year's end. In "Revolution", Adrien sadly tells Marinette of his departure and despite it, she refuse to break her promise to him and raced to the airport and the two shared their first kiss, witnessed by his father. In "Representation", she tries to brave a face for her friends' sake and runs off when she thinks Adrien disobey his father to see her when it was really Félix. Despite learning Adrien's family history, it didn't change her love for him and wants to negotiate for his freedom in "Conformation".

Despite not meeting him in her civilian form yet like everyone else she knew Monarch was out there. It wasn't until "Ladybug", she was touched by his akumas when put into enough vulnerability nearly surrendering her earrings to the villain but her akumatization was called off when Nathalie was too sick to continue.

Just like Adrien through the events of "Miracle Queen" and without knowing it, Marinette also experienced how her archenemy felt. As they both did reckless and/or selfish actions that led them push others away but also into danger. But her sadness in "Truth" and "Gang of Secrets", likely stemmed from her accepting that unlike Gabriel, the past shouldn't be changed for one's own selfishness. In "Shadow Moth's Last Stand", it hit a critical point when through him she learns what happens when someone obsesses over what they want or tries to control everything.

Even more so without knowing it yet Marinette also unintentionally through the problem she partially created she inherited his problems.

After rescuing Fluff, Marinette was shocked to meet Monarch in person for the first time in "Destruction", with him asking for the gift scared she keeps her cool and gives him the key and told him that Ladybug trusted her with Mouse Miraculous.

Then, her breakdown about her love failures don't go unnoticed by Monarch in "Elation" being touched by his megakuma promising her she could have Cat Noir's love if she knew who he was in exchange for the heroes jewels and she nearly gives him her earrings until being stopped by Cat Noir with a kiss making her realize how wrong she was. Also unknown to her is that Monarch is beginning to hate her as much as her alter ego.

Returning to the pool which was the place of her first heartbreak because of Kim's and Chloe's prank, Marinette suffered a terrible panic attack which Monarch noticed and attempted to akumatize her again in "Derision". But this time knowing what's going on instead of giving into him, she reexamined her past, understood why she was panicking, then made peace with it rejecting his akuma and proud of herself for doing so.

OR-2 (317)

Ladybug confronting Hawk Moth's butterfly projection.

In "Stoneheart (Origins - Part 2)", Ladybug and Cat Noir are introduced to Hawk Moth when akumas form a large likeness of his head while the two duo are fighting Stoneheart at the Eiffel Tower. Rather than being intimidated, she confidently warns Hawk Moth that she and Cat Noir will find him, and he'll be the one giving them his Miraculous.

With Hawk Moth, however, she is fully aware that he is the culprit for the akumas and supervillains. She works very hard to stop him, not wanting him to win via taking her Miraculous.

In "The Collector" through deductive reasoning, Marinette concludes that Hawk Moth's secret identity is Gabriel Agreste, but she was dissuaded when he akumatized himself despite saving him she was unknowingly correct. After learning about the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses' combined wishing power from Wang Fu in "Robostus", she agreed that Hawk Moth must not get access to her and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, let alone him getting more would be dangerous in "Sapotis".

Mayura (408)

Ladybug tries to convince Hawk Moth to do the right thing.

During "Heroes' Day", when Ladybug saw Hawk Moth commence his biggest plan yet, she expressed minor doubt on how to beat him since they had never faced him before and he had found a way to amplify his powers. Despite being enemies and talking to an illusion, she tried to convince him to do the right thing. It's also implied that she is aware that Hawk Moth made a mistake, but is unaware of what it is.

In "Miraculous Shanghai", Ladybug noticed that Hawk Moth has created less akumas recently, taking the pleasure to relax. But actually he was in Shanghai trying to steal the Prodigious even though she didn't know what it was; she couldn't let him have it working alongside Renren and Cat Noir to do so. Backing him into a corner, she advised him to surrender. However, she was shocked when he turned his akuma on Mei Shi akumatizing the guardian into his biggest villain yet. Even more so, when YanLuoShi went turncoat and eradicated him implying that Ladybug wanted Hawk Moth's actions to be justified but in prison.

In "Ladybug", she was horrified that Hawk Moth had no sympathy for her sentimonster doppelganger and agreed with Cat Noir that he is a monster. Continuing their fight against him in the alternate future of "Cat Blanc", she and Cat Noir managed to corner him in his secret chamber, but was shocked that what she had figured out previously was true, and his actions. Despite this, she remains true to her duty to stop him, aware of the price of using such power. However it's likely deep down she felt sad for him too as her own archenemy gave up on her before she was given the chance to try and find a better way help him. During "The Battle of the Miraculous" despite trying to save Master Fu and her friends, she is still affected by his taunting.

Being attacked by akumatized villains and sentimonsters together, Ladybug realizes that Hawk Moth is using the power of the Peacock Miraculous as Shadow Moth regardless she becomes more determined to stop him. Unknown to her through "Truth" he discovered about her crush on his son. Realizing the true power of Creation, she can now create Magical Charms and give them to the deakumatized victims to protect them from him taking in the pleasure of limiting his victims preventing him from using them for his own benefit.

During "Optigami", she noticed that Shadow Moth had been using information he gained from "Miracle Queen" against of them and aware of his sneaky nature, Ladybug started to understand his tricks foiling his attempt to learn her identity.

Due to his sneaky tactics Marinette had nightmares about him discovering her identity and obtaining the Miracle Box in "Sentibubbler". Even more so, when she saw him as his fused alter ego; noticing the amokized object and the two Miraculouses but aware she couldn't take all. As Pegabug, she surprised him taking his amokized object first saving Alya's family. Seeing him escape again she was disheartened but was assured she'd get another chance to stop him.

Witnessing her family being reakumatized in "Dearest Family", despite her giving them Magical Charms, she realized that he found a way to break them by turning his akumas into Mega akumas. Even though, she continues to give his victims Magical Charms hoping they would keep him at bay someway.

Unknown to her because of her outburst towards Cat Noir and unaware of partner's identity in "Glaciator 2", she almost gave her archenemy the opportunity to akumatize her partner creating the nightmare she was tried to avoid.

Before Sass' Second Chance in "Ephemeral", unknown due to their slip up Marinette was shocked that Shadow Moth obtained her partner's Miraculous and soon hers.

In "Shadow Moth's Final Attack", without knowing it as Ladybug, she witnessed Shadow Moth create his deadliest plan yet, first she was infected by the villain Risk and forced into making mistakes. Even though, she and her friends defeated the sentimonster despite it all (thanks to trickery) Ladybug was devastated that Hawk Moth stole all Miraculouses from her. With her archenemy nearly having them all but thanks to Cat Noir she was filled more determination than ever to stop him.

In "Evolution", despite his threats she continues to defy him assuring the people once again of their promise to protect them. Seeing a time version of Monarch and herself, she knew he couldn't wait to use the jewels against them starting with the Rabbit Miraculous. Through constant time hops and overtaxing the kwamis, she warned him of the consequences of it and demanded the jewels back. With the help of Alix and playing on his greed, the trio manages to rescue Fluff but not before he gets away with the other kwamis leaving Ladybug determined to stop him.

Anticipating his actions of using the kwamis to find her, Ladybug planned a trap for him but much to her distraught and shock Monarch gets away with them but not before the villain forcibly cataclysms himself. Even though, they are enemies she didn't want to see him harmed. Weeks go by and Ladybug has grown wary that Monarch hasn't appeared until he hatched a new in plan in "Multiplication", she was shocked that he had discovered a way to give his villains the powers of the other jewels without giving them away.

In "Jubilation", due to the Pig Miraculous power, it was shown that Ladybug's biggest desire was to defeat Monarch and retrieve the Butterfly Miraculous, but when she wakes up from her dream, she was really upset when she realized Monarch used Gift to play on her and Cat Noir's emotions. She figured out that out that Monarch is using the power of the alliance rings to find her but unknown to her, that's how he transferred the powers to his villains. When that looked like a possibility in "Illusion", by the Resistance Marinette hesitantly agrees with the plan as Ladybug but ends the same way as in "The Collector" being right but tricked.

Then in "Kwamis' Choice", from Tikki, Marinette accepted that her fight against Monarch is over and that someone would succeed her but it was short lived seeing the kwamis powers spread like wildfire, she knew Tikki and Plagg were caught by Monarch donning a disguise and lucky charm in hand. She approached Monarch explaining the destruction and tried to convince him to return her Miraculous so the damage could be repaired but knowing he wouldn't she fooled him with a fake lucky charm and with the Resistance's help her powers were restored and then in turned retrieved her partner's Miraculous from him. However they were left baffled on how he found them so quickly. Regardless understanding that she and Cat Noir are the only ones who can defeat him they resume their mantles as well as praise their kwamis and their allies for their bravery against the mastermind.

Conformation 363

Ladybug discovering Gabriel Agreste really is Monarch.

In "The Last Day", Marinette discovered that Félix and Kagami were really telling her the truth about Gabriel being Monarch. After being confronted by a bunch of Miraculized, she's forced to seek cover and retransformed in the kitchen.

Re-creation 030

The beginning of Bug Noire and Monarch's final battle.

After fusing with the Black Cat ring, she transformed to Bug Noire and the two have their final battle. They first fight in the kitchen to the foyer and down to the basement.

Re-creation 378

Bug Noire and Monarch continue the battle.

Down in the crypt, Bug Noire discovered Mrs. Agreste's comatose state and denounces Monarch about how far he's willing to cause so much destruction and lives, just for Emilie to come back, heal his Cataclysm wound, and for Adrien and Kagami to be the world's new eternal icons. She also chewed him out about how he no longer cares about Adrien as a person anymore; not as long as Adrien gives him a horrible excuse for his terrible deeds. Despite defeating him and giving him the hard and sad truths, she's willing to come up with a result with him. Gabriel used Venom on her and took the two Miraculouses for himself. Realizing Marinette's right, Gabriel sacrificed himself for Nathalie to come back and to be with Emilie in the afterlife and ask Marinette not to let Adrien know about any of this.

After the wish, Marinette was saddened that Gabriel redeemed himself and that he could've become a better person like his heroic counterpart: Betterfly, if he wasn't Cataclysmed by Cat Noir in "Destruction".

Chloé Bourgeois/Queen Bee[]

DSB (31)

Marinette has been in the same class with Chloé for four years and states that she has always been bullied by her. On the first day of the new school year, she was frustrated that Chloé and Sabrina force her out of her normal seat, but didn't protest due to being intimidated by her social standing. Until Alya encouraged her to stand up to Chloé, but it isn't until after her success as Ladybug at the end of "Stoneheart", now full of confidence, Marinette calls out Chloé for her awful actions telling her to take her attitude and sit somewhere else.

Marinette dislikes Chloé and disapproves of her actions. Hating how she mistreats everyone, including her "best friend" Sabrina. As her main target, she constantly deals with Chloé's contemptuous attitude towards her. Nevertheless, Marinette occasionally manages to outmaneuver her with thrilling success, such as proving in "Mr. Pigeon" that Chloé stole her derby hat design by revealing her own signature as a unique design element that Chloé and Sabrina neglected to remove, or when she successfully ends her campaign for class representative in "Darkblade" by contrasting her own helpfulness and honesty from Chloé's selfishness and manipulation.

DSB (452)

Ladybug thanks Chloé for her help.

In "Despair Bear", she is annoyed when Chloé disrupts her father's cooking lesson. When Chloé invited all their classmates to a party, Marinette is skeptical of her seeming change of heart. While she does, as Ladybug, later appreciate Chloé's assistance in stopping Despair Bear, Marinette agrees with Adrien that she will probably never fully change, reverting from kindness towards her classmates to usual behavior

In "Zombizou" when she realizes it was Chloé who ruined her present to Miss Bustier, Marinette becomes so angry she almost gets akumatized by Hawk Moth. But thanks to Miss Bustier's mentorship, Marinette understood that she can have a heart of gold when she needs to.

During "Queen Wasp", she becomes shocked that Chloé got disregarded by her mother Audrey, feeling sorry for her and more so when she ended up the Bee Miraculous. As herself, Marinette helped her rival fix things with her mother. In "Malediktator" when Marinette hears that Chloé is leaving for New York, she took pleasure in the news, believing that fewer people will be akumatized and that no one else won't have to deal with her cruel nature anymore. Then, taking Adrien's words to heart, she begins to see that there's more to Chloé than she originally thought, and after seeing her actions as Queen Bee, Marinette and her classmates throw her a party to thank her, hoping that Chloé's time as a hero will help her become a better person.

Her hopes were dashed after the betrayal, Marinette sees that Chloé's attitude had gotten worse towards everyone; surprised that she treated even her own sister Zoé so poorly, and was responsible for Zoé's behavior change in "Sole Crusher". Once again in "Queen Banana", when she tried to takeover the class' movie project calling it unfair and was nerved with her demands. Having enough of Chloé's fantasy, Marinette rallied everyone in making their original movie. After Chloé is deakumatized once again and upon seeing her accept the charm from Zoé, Marinette hoped Chloé having a sister around would finally improve her.

From "Deflagration", Marinette continues to be the target of Chloé's harassment and bullying when she ridiculed her during a lunch date with Adrien in the cafeteria. When Chloé went as far as to reveal her rival's love towards Adrien hoping to embarrass her, Marinette showed no fear as everyone else already knew and supported her much to Chloé's anger.

Marinette sees that Chloe continues to take things even lower in "Adoration", as she took advantage of her friend Sabrina just to frame her.

And yet, they cross paths at the Diamond Dance in "Emotion", while Marinette was disguised she discovered Chloé's "niceness" but it ended when Chloé blew her cover and removed her mask despite that she was horrified that Chloé disappeared.

Derision 154

Chloé bullying Marinette during a year prior.

From "Derision", a year prior Marinette was the constant target of Chloe's pranks and humiliates by her every change she got because of their social standings so much to the point where she would avoid her. Worst of all, when it came to her first crush Chloe along with Kim pulled a mean trick that traumatized her love life so much that Marinette vowed the next time she'd fall in love with another guy she'd know everything about him so she wouldn't get tricked or hurt like that again. Returning to the place of where it started Marinette discovered the trauma of the trick she and Kim had pulled was still there and nearly led to her akumatization but by reexamine the past, she fully understood happened and made peace with it driving the akuma away.

Confrontation 319

Marinette enjoying Chloé and Lila being exposed for who they really are.

By "Confrontation", from Sabrina, Marinette heard from her that Chloe and Lila were working on another scheme to frame her but Marinette turned the tables on her with her own plan.

Collusion 070

Marinette vows to put an end to Chloé's nastiness like she did to Lila in "Confrontation".

Even with their latest scheme crushed Marinette saw that Chloe wasn't done yet, as she continued to make everyone miserable even up to the point where she fired Ms. Bustier from her job and nearly expelled her once again regardless she vowed to stop her.

Revolution 537

Marinette refusing to put up with Chloé anymore and tells her to shut up before giving it to her.

In "Revolution", after Chloé stages a coup after her father is forced to resign as Mayor of the city in "Collusion" with the help of Gabriel and Tomoe Tsurugi, she starts imposing new laws and rules. At first, she tried to ask Adrien if he could talk to his father but he turned it down then later along with everyone Marinette held a strike against Chloe unless Ms. Bustier and Mr. Damocles were reinstated. By the episode's end, Chloé's reign as Mayoress is over and she's forced to leave by her father, Marinette saddened about Adrien's departure received a final message from Chloe her about him, only for the latter to tell the former to be quiet, since she already knows and that he will always love her; knowing Chloé couldn't do anything about it. Marinette slaps Chloé with the hard truths, saying she lost any and all power over everyone in Paris. Even calling her "Ridiculous. Utterly. Ridiculous", getting justice for herself and everyone Chloé bullied over the years, and those she had driven to akumatization before ending the call on her for good, leaving Chloé in tears.

Chloé's love for Ladybug does not change Marinette's attitude; in fact, it makes her more annoyed when she has to watch over or protect her, as seen in several episodes. Considering Chloé to be her rival for Adrien's affection, Marinette doesn't like how she is always throwing herself at him, to the point of using her Lucky Charm in "The Bubbler" out of jealousy, to prevent her from kissing him while slow dancing. However, as the series progresses as her alter ego, Marinette begins to see another side of Chloé, seeing her as brave, loyal, remorseful and courageous, starting in "Despair Bear" when she thanks her for her help commenting that she was nice to do so.

In "Kung Food", Chloé complains that Ladybug took too long to rescue her and threatens to tell everyone. Ladybug roughly drops her with a sarcastic "Oops!" in retaliation and as payback for sabotaging the Celestial soup and getting Cheng Shifu akumatized.

In "Zombizou", Ladybug she sees Chloé's regretful apology and her brave action of sacrificing herself to stop Cat Noir from infecting her. The next day at school, Marinette takes back her angry comments from yesterday and commends Chloé for helping Ladybug.

Seeing Chloé’s recklessness and irresponsibility as Queen Bee during "Queen Wasp", Ladybug demanded the Bee Miraculous back but things go from bad to worse when she and Cat Noir find her akumatized with it. After Queen Wasp's defeat when Ladybug apologetically told Chloé that the Miraculous must be returned, her rival asked for another chance, realizing her mistake. The heroine retorted her own mistake by losing it, encouraging Chloé to do the right thing and thanked her for returning the miraculous.

Ladybug pounds-it with Chloé

They get closer as allies in "Malediktator" when Ladybug hears Chloé admit that everyone was right about her having no purpose. Taking Adrien's words to heart, she helped Chloé become honest about what happened and fix her mistake by offering her the Bee Miraculous again. This time, with a calm head, she works well with Queen Bee. After the ordeal and seeing her return the Bee Miraculous without any resistance, Ladybug sees that Chloé fully understands the weight of being a hero. She does the trademark fist-bump with her as Chloé had earned it for doing a good job. The two fight well together in "Mayura".

There split began in "Miraculer", due to Hawk Moth knowing Chloé's identity as Queen Bee, Marinette has been hesitant about giving her the Bee Miraculous, not only out of losing another Miraculous but also putting Chloé and her family in danger, showing that she does care about her. After having come to an understanding, Marinette hopes she didn't hurt Chloé too much.

However, even after that, Chloé continues, in vain, to wait for Ladybug to ask for her help, and in "Heart Hunter", things get worse. When Chloé's parents are akumatized together, Ladybug sees that Chloé is again waiting to receive the Bee Miraculous. She chooses to ignore her, choosing instead to ask Ryuko for help. This leads to drastic consequences, which prompt a disappointed and furious Chloé to ally with Hawk Moth, who gives her the Bee Miraculous.

In "Miracle Queen", Ladybug faces the titular villain, aka the akumatized form of Queen Bee, realizing with dismay that the latter has voluntarily chose to betray her and to ally herself with Hawk Moth and Mayura. After defeating her, she expels Chloé from the team (seemingly for good), which seemed to upset her, as she did not wish for Chloé to go down this road.

In "Queen Banana", Ladybug faces the titular villain once again and when Chloe is deakumatized. She sees that Chloé is still spiteful from their previous encounter, even more so that the heroine had picked a new Bee Miraculous holder. Nonetheless, Ladybug calmly tells Chloé that her anger must be controlled offering her the magical charm as a way to do it. But when Chloé refused, Ladybug was concerned, despite her attitude and actions she didn't deserve to used by Hawk Moth like everyone else.

Chloé appeared in her nightmare in "Sentibubbler", berating her and noting her hypocrisy kicking her off the team for revealing her identity while Alya (who's identity is also known by Hawk Moth) is still allowed to work for Ladybug, implying that Marinette may have had other reasons for being wary to select her. It can be assumed that Marinette still felt guilty about what went down in "Miracle Queen" and possibly in "Queen Wasp".

However even though Marinette hates being compared to Chloé there were incidents where she acted just like her. Using her position as Ladybug out of jealously and anger the same way Chloé used her position as the mayor's daughter to get her way. But unlike Chloé, Marinette felt remorse for her mistakes and did what she could to fix them.

Despite all this, she does not seem to hold any animosity towards Chloé. It can be assumed that Marinette still felt sorry for her, but is hesitant to trust her because of her reckless and selfish actions. Unknown to Marinette it was the neglect that Chloé endured because of her mother that caused some of her behavior.

In "Determination", Ladybug figures out that Chloé is the cause of another akumatization because of her ongoing grudge against her. Through Lila, as Ladybug, she discovered that Chloe continued with her scheming antics in "Confrontation" and especially from "Collusion" to "Revolution", where her unruly behavior caused Ms. Bustier's and Mr. Damocles resignations. Despite deakumatizing Ms. Bustier, she was shocked when Chloé barged in her father's office accusing the heroine of being a villain and capturing her in a net making her realize she misread her lucky charm warning her about Chloé despite it all she and Cat Noir escape but knows that Chloe isn't done with them yet.

Revolution 423

Ladybug looking down at Chloé furiously, fed up with her antics and behavior for the very last time.

As Chloé's reign began, as Ladybug, Marinette was hesitant to do anything against her because she refused to take advantage of her moral code. But things got worse when the heroine decided to act too late as she and Cat Noir fell into resistance protected shellters leaving them powerless and destransforming back. All in all, just to hear Chloé gloat that she had been secretly akumatized but still refusing to give up Ladybug rallied the people to stand up against her and Monarch even with them gone and taking people's courage to heart, the duo obtained their adult powers. Once freed and Chloé defeated, despite everything Ladybug opted to give her a magical charm but was stopped by Andre who promise to correct his errors.

Upon discovering Monarch's identity as Gabriel, horrified by this revelation, Marinette likely figured out that Chloe's downward spiral wasn't only of her own choosing but that he played her like everyone else by doing so with her desire of power and revenge as well as Marinette probably for guilty for not noticing it sooner.


Lila Rossi/Cerise Bianca[]

Volpina 063

Marinette imagining Adrien and Lila together.

In addition, Lila states that her vixen superheroine anscestor is more powerful and celebrated than Ladybug. Later at the park when Lila attempts to lie to Adrien about having a Fox Miraculous, Marinette transforms into Ladybug and calls out Lila on all her lies, making her cry and run away, her chances with Adrien shattered. Ladybug eventually regrets her harsh treatment of Lila and uncontrolled jealousy after she realizes that Volpina, whom she was jealous and suspicious of, is the akumatized Lila. Once Volpina is defeated, she apologizes to Lila for her actions, only to have her apology be rejected, with Lila saying they would never be friends, as Ladybug had said earlier on.

In "Chameleon", Ladybug can finally vouch that she's saved Lila's life and offers to make to peace with her. She encourages her to be honest, but unknown to her, Lila's offering of peace is a lie. Despite Lila's lies, as Ladybug, she tries to save Lila from Oni-Chan.

Chameleon 149

Lila threatens Marinette.

In "Chameleon", when Marinette chews Lila out about her deceitful nature Lila, retorts that Marinette is either with her or against her. If Marinette is against her, then she'll make Marinette lose all her friends and be all alone. Mortified at what just happened, she complains that Lila is eviler than Chloé and is so upset to the point of tears which leads to her almost being akumatized. When Lila accepts Marinette's choices, she says they're at war, and after this is over, she'll be all alone. Marinette calmly dismisses it by saying, "We'll see." In "Oni-Chan", she is aware that Adrien doesn't have feelings for her.

In "Ladybug", when Marinette is accused of cheating on the mock exam, she knows it was Lila who framed her but can't prove it. This leads to her being expelled from school and nearly akumatizated. Afterwards, knowing that Lila used another lie prove her innocence, Marinette thanks her but is unsure of why she did all this (unknown it was because Adrien convinced her). She becomes aware that Lila can come to her senses sometimes.

During "Illusion", begrudgingly Marinette discovers that Lila is a part of the Resistance too and agrees to work with her unaware that she is Gabriel's personal spy.

Much to Marinette's dismay, she finds out that Lila still continued her threat in "Perfection" and "Protection" with Kagami but both attempts do the opposite and made their friendship stronger.

A critical point hits in "Revelation", when Lila comes after as Marinette for revenge when her and Adrien's strong feelings of love causes Gabriel to angrily strip her of her status as his female model and be replaced with Kagami. Leading to Marinette's position of being class representive being challenged, Lila's akumatization into Hoaxer and her posting lies about Marinette and Paris' heroes. Realizing what to do, she confronted Lila herself, telling her that it was unnecessary to drag and deceive many innoncents into danger just because she was angry and their feud was in between them. She helps Lila reject the megakuma but despite knowing their feud wasn't over. Knowing well enough that she wasn't getting anywhere with her words to prove her deceitful nature by dropping out of the election and letting Lila have her position to prove her own undoing.

Her own undoing comes into fruition in "Confrontation", after being warned by Sabrina on what she and Chloe were going to do Marinette worked with Sabrina to catch them in the act which exposed Lila's deceitful nature to all her classmates and faculty but unknown to her is that Lila's grudge against her isn't over as she is still working with Chloe behind the scenes in "Collusion" and "Revolution". It is revealed that Lila Rossi is now under the identity as Cerise Bianca in disguise, in throughout the series.

After separating Gabriel from the Butterfly Miraculous in "Re-creation", Marinette as AquaBug was unable to find it, as unknown to her, Lila (in disguise under a new identity) somehow managed to retrieve it from the repository without either Marinette or Gabriel noticing and planned to use it to get revenge on Marinette, by enrolling at the same school at her by the next year under a new identity.

Nathalie Sancoeur/Mayura[]

Marinette and Nathalie don't interact much, but Marinette knows that she is Gabriel's assistant and treats her with respect. Although unknown to her, Marinette received Nathalie's support to have a relationship with Adrien.

She is unaware that Nathalie is Mayura and secretly hates her alter ego wishing to end her reign. Aware that she is Hawk Moth's partner, Ladybug knows of her existence in "Mayura" and "Reflekdoll". The two officially meet in "Miraculer" when she tries to convince Chloé to join her and Hawk Moth.

When the heroine knew of Mayura's deception with a sentimonster of her in "Ladybug", she finds a way to flush her out. After setting her sentimonster counterpart free, she is horrified that Mayura destroyed her, despite being a living creature. During the fight, she notices Mayura's weakened state and catches her, but seeing Cat Noir in the same predicament, Ladybug releases her, knowing she can get her Miraculous another day. Because of Mayura, she knows how of cruel the powers of the Miraculous can be when used for evil, believing her power is more dangerous than Hawk Moth's.

But seeing Shadow Moth use the Peacock Miraculous up to the point of trading with Felix, Ladybug is aware that Mayura is no longer active.

In "Evolution", due to playing on Monarch's greed Ladybug isn't aware it caused their enemy to lose his greatest ally.

Then Ladybug turned off and angrily asked Nathalie where Adrien was, being told he was safe but she wasn't as Gabriel sent all humanity after her and Cat Noir. Noticing Nathalie's condition, she offered to take her to the hospital but was told her illness was beyond any medicine, due to her using of the damaged Peacock Miraculous, which made realize Ladybug her former identity as Mayura, to her shock, and in her final moments Nathalie handed her Emilie's phone with her video recordings, urging her to stop Gabriel, his madness and also telling her to transform back before succumbing to her illness and falling into a deep sleep as a result, much to Ladybug's sadness who urged her to wake up.

Their terms soured even more when, as Ladybug, she discovered that Techno Pirate was akumatized by Hawk Moth and was in league with him. Despite fighting him, she wasn't able to deevilize him. When they fought again, Ladybug noticed something was different about him, and upon Sparrow's realization, the heroine deduced that the villain had the power of the Eagle Miraculous, causing the adult heroes to run wild. She lead the young heroes in a fight against him and through careful planning trickery, they defeated him.
