Ladybug, "Stoneheart"

The Miraculouses are a variety of magical jewelry,[1] possessing the ability to transform their wearers, with the help of the kwamis, into animal-themed superpowered beings.

History[]

As explained by Master Fu, Wayzz, and Tikki in the comic story "Miraculous Adventures/Issue 2", kwamis have existed since the beginning of the universe. Being abstract creatures, each kwami is formed whenever a new idea, concept, or emotion comes into existence in the universe, such as creation, love, beauty, and mathematics. However, tangible creatures, like humans, could not see or sense kwamis; so the kwamis could only roam the universe without communicating with them.

Before the Miraculouses were created, a prototype, the Prodigious was created, allowing the user to gain the power of the kwamis' cousins, the Renlings. However, the Prodigious was considered to be too powerful, and so it was sealed away in the Sacred Cave in what is now known as Shanghai, China.

Unnamed Mage

The mage creating the Ladybug Miraculous and the yo-yo.

Five thousand years ago, a mage successfully helped the kwamis to interact with humans by creating magic jewels, which were called Miraculouses. When the kwamis inhabited them, the Miraculouses bestowed amazing power on their wearers. There are two Miraculouses that are more powerful than the rest: the Ladybug Miraculous, having the power of creation from the first kwami in existence, Tikki; and the Cat Miraculous, having the power of destruction from Plagg. In "Ladybug & Cat Noir", Nooroo states that legend says when the Ladybug Miraculous and Cat Miraculous are worn together, their user will gain absolute power. At some point in time, all of the knowledge about the Miraculouses and their powers were written down in code in a book called the Grimoire, with very few people knowing how to decipher the code. Miracle Boxes were also created at an unknown time to store the dormant Miraculouses.

To protect and distribute Miraculouses, the Order of the Guardians was formed and existed for many years. Throughout its existence, guardians trained younger generations to keep a watchful eye over the Miraculouses and the Grimoire, which were placed in the guardians' temple. Occasionally, a Miraculous would be lost.

According to Nooroo, the Miraculous, meant for good purposes, have been used by heroes throughout history. However, in the wrong hands, Miraculouses can be used to cause terrible disasters.

Only a single apprentice survives the destruction of the order.

The Order fell 172 years ago because of a mistake made by Fu, a young apprentice guardian at the time. While undergoing a trial of watching over a Miracle Box for 24 hours without eating, he used the Peacock Miraculous in an attempt to create a small sentimonster to go to the kitchen to get him some food, but he accidentally manifested a ravenous sentimonster that devoured the monks and most of the Miraculouses. Fu was given the Grimoire by one of the temple's monks, along with the last remaining Miracle Box and ran. Fu ended up losing the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses, along the Grimoire while trying to flee from the sentimonster. After narrowly escaping, Fu took the Chinese Miracle Box with the remaining seventeen Miraculouses with him and the jewels faded away into legend.

Recent to Present[]

On a previous trip overseas with the Agrestes, Nathalie found the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses and gave the jewels to Gabriel. In "Representation", it was revealed that the Agrestes nor the Graham de Vanily couples could bear children on their own, so Emilie and Colt used the Peacock Miraculous to create Adrien and Félix respectively, but in doing so, they grew sick over time and were eventually left in a condition where they fell into an eternal slumber due to the using Peacock Miraculous in its damaged state. Afterwards, Gabriel forbid the use of it and hid it away. Desperate to fix his mistake, he began using the Butterfly Miraculous for evil to obtain the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses in order to gain access to their absolute power, reawakening the legend once more.

Soon a new generation of holders began again this time in the hands of teenagers of Paris, France.

In "Feast", after the titular supervillain was defeated by Ladybug and Cat Noir, the former's Miraculous Ladybug is able to bring back the guardians' temple, along with all the monks and the Miraculous that were eaten.

In "Miracle Queen", Ladybug became the new guardian of the Miracle Box.

During French-American Friendship Week in "Miraculous New York", one of the lost Miraculouses, the Eagle Miraculous, had been found in the Gilbert du Motier exhibit in the New-York history museum.

As of "Strikeback", all of the Miraculouses from the Chinese Miracle Box except for the Ladybug, Cat, and Peacock Miraculouses have fallen into the hands of Gabriel Agreste due to him trading his nephew Félix the Peacock Miraculous for all the Miraculouses in the Chinese Miracle Box and Gabriel's wedding ring.

In "Evolution", thanks to Monarch's greed, the heroes managed to save Fluff and her Miraculous. In "Destruction", Monarch melted the remaining Miraculouses except the Butterfly Miraculous into rings with the ability to gives his akumatized villains the Miraculous superpowers of the Miraculouses without needing to give them the actual jewelry.

In "The Kwamis' Choice", after Tikki and Plagg's choice to free their owners from the responsibilities their Miraculouses put on them, Monarch discovers the identities of the new holders of the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses, Alya and Zoé, and steals their Miraculouses from them while they're in their civilian identities. But thanks to the efforts of the two kwamis and the Resistance, Marinette and Adrien got their Miraculouses back, allowing them to become Ladybug and Cat Noir again and discovered that Monarch reforged the stolen Miraculouses into rings.

Despite Monarch finding at least one user of for almost all the Miraculous superpowers he can grant except Second Chance, deeming it too dangerous to grant to his akumatized supervillains, he still couldn't defeat the heroes. In "Intuition", he attempted to make use of Second Chance himself, but found out the hard way that he couldn't make it work due to Ladybug's adaptability and Cat Noir's unpredictability. To make matters worse for Monarch, his repeated usage of Second Chance worsened his Cataclysm induced injury, forcing him to never make use of the Snake Miraculous again.

From "Re-creation", during the scuffle Nooroo and his Miraculous was free but lost again as Gabriel was making his wish he relinquished his remaining Miraculouses to Ladybug and she reforged the jewels to their original forms. Then, they were returned to all of the inactive members making them like herself and Cat Noir full time members along with their newest addition Argos and the team's mission is to find and retrieve the Butterfly Miraculous. Unknown to them, Cerise Bianca has stolen the it and vowed to get revenge.

Miraculouses of Parallel Universes[]

Just as the kwamis are omnipresent living in the billions of parallel universes simultaneously do so their Miraculouses in every one as well. But do to each parallel universe being different or falling into different rules despite that a person might have a counterpart in said world they may not end up with the same jewels the same way, get a different one all together as well as not get one at all. Just as the Quantic universe and the guardians have a system with the jewels it's likely the other universes have one too but with different rules.

System[]

Quantic Universe[]

OR1-(185)

Wang Fu, the Great Guardian, taking the Cat Miraculous to the location of his chosen owner for it, Adrien.

Usually, a Miraculous is assigned to an appropriate user with good intentions by a guardian, a human tasked with watching over the Miraculous and keeping them in a safe place when not being used.

In "Desperada", "Queen Banana", "Hack-San", "Evolution" and various circumstances also gives a deeper insight on how and why the Miraculouses and their owners are chosen so carefully. Even though, not everyone (at least outside of the Order of the Guardians) is aware of it but they do play a part in who gets a Miraculous by creating or setting up problems that put world in great crisis such as the Agrestes foolishly using the Peacock Miraculous and as a result Gabriel becoming Hawk Moth, setting up a plan to unveil the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses in a desperate bid to fix his problem (albeit temporarily). By Felix giving the jewels to Monarch especially the Rabbit's Watch, he unknowingly and indirectly started Alix's path as Bunnyx and his uncle's path into further madness. Such as a holder not having the right physical, emotional and mental requirements to handle the jewel's powers like becoming obsessive of their powers or emotional attachments becoming too strong.

While there is a chance of giving a Miraculous to an unworthy candidate, the system prevents many unfit people from getting them easily. The guardian takes back and stores the Miraculous when it is discarded or returned to them. Unfortunately, there have been cases where the Miraculous were lost, even potentially forever, and the guardian was unable to retrieve them, such as when the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses was presumed to be lost forever by Master Fu.

Usually this is done when a Miraculous has no owner or in the event when the task is done usually the jewel is returned to the guardian and the Miracle Box from once it came and the cycle repeats. But sometimes even after a great crisis has been defeated or not complete not all Miraculouses are returned to the box such as the case with Gilbert Layefette, after he used the Eagle Miraculous to help George Washington in the Revolution instead of returning the jewel to the box and it's guardian, he gave it to Washington as a sign of their friendship and to further help and protect his allies from future danger. In Ladybug's case, despite defeating Monarch and retrieving all the other jewels Nooroo was still missing causing the other jewels to still be needed.

Miraculouses can be kept by their chosen users for many years as long as they are being used, and the holder is capable.[2] Before the Miraculouses were given to Ladybug, Cat Noir and their team they were strictly used by adults only. Guardians can give a miraculous to another to keep balance in the cases of a miraculous hero being manipulated by people in power.

There are some ways to acquire a Miraculous outside of being chosen by the Great Guardian. People can find the Miraculous if they have been lost and are unable to be stored properly. For example, Gabriel Agreste found the Butterfly Miraculous and the Peacock Miraculous, making it easy for him to utilize it for evil instead of good without Wang Fu's interference or knowledge of his secret identity or in "The Queens' Battle", when Chloé found the Bee Miraculous after Ladybug lost it. However, there are those who found a Miraculous and by their own free will, would use it by trying to be a hero without being chosen by a guardian. Heroes who obtain a Miraculous without being chosen may keep their jewel with approval from its guardian.

Previous Miraculous holders can also give their Miraculous to someone else if they don't know a guardian or the guardian can't intervene first. After believing she shouldn't be the Ladybug Miraculous holder in "Stoneheart", Marinette snuck the Ladybug Miraculous into Alya's bag in hopes that she would find it and take over as Ladybug, although Marinette later decided to continue as Ladybug and retrieved it before this could happen. If a current or previous holder can't continue their job by other means, like old age or injury, they can give their jewel to someone else, like how Nino wields the Turtle Miraculous in Master Fu's place due to the latter's bad back.

Wielding a Miraculous without being chosen by a guardian or without one's approval comes with a risk as there is no guardian to help the Miraculous holder heal their kwami or, in some cases, to repair their Miraculous if it were to get damaged. Their ability to use the found Miraculous may be limited without guidance from its guardian.

Reflekta 335

Another option for getting a Miraculous is stealing a Miraculous and/or removing it from its user. There are different kinds of motivations for taking another user's Miraculous. One motivation is Hawk Moth's intention to get the Ladybug Miraculous and Cat Miraculous to access their absolute power when combined. On the opposite side, if a Miraculous is being used by a villainous person, it is the Great Guardian's task to find out who the Miraculous holder is and take it away from them. If needed, the Great Guardian will get help from other Miraculous holders or choose new ones in order to stop the villain, as when Marinette and Adrien received Miraculouses from Wang Fu to defeat Hawk Moth. Along with being vulnerable to being stolen if they aren't being worn, the Miraculous can be forced off the user by someone else when they are being worn, whether or not they are transformed. Despite being possible, it's less common to be able to steal the Miraculous when the holder is not transformed unless the taker knows what the Miraculous looks like when in its camouflaged form, which is even more confusing when the camouflage mode varies between different wielders. The only other way a Miraculous can be stolen would be someone who has one willingly exposes their identity as Chloe did in "Queen Wasp".

When in need of assistance and with the express permission of the Great Guardian, a current Miraculous owner can temporarily give a Miraculous to someone else as long as the temporary owner returns it when the mission is over. This is seen multiple times when Marinette required either extra numbers or the specific powers of a certain Miraculous to defeat a villain. As of "Miracle Queen", now that Ladybug is the new Guardian of the Mother Box, she continues to follow this rule and sometimes if the situation calls for it temporary holders can become full time holders as shown with the severity of Shadow Moth's attacks, Ladybug allowed Rena Rouge to keep her Miraculous permanently.

Another way can be if a kwami along with their jewel becomes separated from their chosen owner, then they can work with and/or choose a temporary owner until they are reunited again, which happened with Marinette and Adrien in "Reflekdoll".

Even though, kwamis can be renounced by their owners in "Transmission", it's revealed that they can do their own form of "renouncing". As with Tikki's and Plagg's case, if the task of being a wielder is too great for them or if the holder doesn't meet the kwamis expectations they can convince their owners to surrender their jewels without saying the renounce command. Afterwards the kwamis begin their search for new owners under their own judgement if a guardian doesn't or can't intervene or has their guardian's permission.

OR1-(257)

Not all Miraculouses in other people's possession are worn and wielded by them. Master Wang Fu keeps unused Miraculouses in the Miracle Box in order to keep them protected and available for future chosen users in required situations. In "Mayura", in a secret safe, Gabriel Agreste stores the Peacock Miraculous, since it is mysteriously damaged and can cause illness to its holder. At the same time, Miraculous holders who wear the Miraculous may never or rarely transform with them. Because of his age, Wang Fu struggles when he attempts to transform in "Ladybug & Cat Noir", hurting his back in the process. Nonetheless, Wang keeps and wears the Turtle Miraculous, often discussing matters with Wayzz and benefiting from his assistance.

As of "Gang of Secrets", Marinette keeps the inactive jewels and the Mother Box inside her sewing box but allows the kwamis to roam freely.

Betterfly's Re-Verse[]

According to Betterfly, the Supreme's system of handing out Miraculouses is rather corrupt in his world instead of giving them to the people who have good within their hearts to protect the world. He gives them to those who swear absolute loyalty to him as well as the most powerful to perpetuate his own power and those who linger in great pain but have potential like Shadybug and Claw Noire, the entity manipulates them by preying on their pain in exchange for a promise of power. But for teenagers it comes at the cost of their lives as they use the pain of their civilian lives to fuel their power for evil they receive a corrupt adult version of their powers but they slowly lose their vital energy until they are destroyed. To those, like Betterfly who betray him the entity shows no mercy and hunts them down even using other Miraculous holders to do it to retrieve the jewel(s) they had under his gaze.

Abilities[]

Transformation[]

Mayura Transformation

The Peacock Miraculous transformation turns Nathalie's skin blue.

A Miraculous, when worn by someone and inhabited by its respective kwami, transforms the wearer into a costumed disguise based on its animal theme. The Miraculous must be verbally activated by speaking a transformation phrase that is unique to each Miraculous, based either on the characteristics of the animal the Miraculous is themed after, or the power the Miraculous grants, or both. A Miraculous is deactivated by the user speaking a detransformation phrase that counters the transformation phase. For example, the transformation phrase of the Ladybug Miraculous is "Spots On", while the detransformation phrase is "Spots Off".

In addition to the costume itself, some Miraculouses, while active, may alter the wearers physical characteristics, such as the color of their eyes and the shape of their pupils, the color, length and style of their hair, and/or even their skin pigment. Furthermore, the costume can also compensate for impairments; for example Gabriel, Alya, Nino and Nathalie all wear glasses, however the transformation gives them the ability to see clearly, either by including a pair of goggles on the costume or by fixing their vision completely. Although the impairments return upon their detransformation.

As explained by Plagg in "Frightningale", Adrien's costume as Cat Noir is what he really wants deep down. Meaning that, while the animal theme comes from the jewel itself and will always be the same, the design details that the Miraculous holders costume assumes when they activate their Miraculous are determined by what they wanted subconsciously, a reflection of their personality and will.[3] The rules of the costume are explained further in "Rocketear" and "Kuro Neko"; while the costume a Miraculous holder normally shows is a natural reflection of their personality, it can change or be changed in accordance with the role said holder is meant to play or they choose to play if they focus only on certain traits of their personality, rather than just transforming without thinking like they usually would. For example, after Alya made Shadow Moth think that Ladybug would never again lend her the Fox Miraculous, putting herself in a position where her hero persona could no longer be seen in public and where she could only assist her fellow heroes from the shadows rather than fighting alongside them on the front lines, her costume changed to a blue and white camouflage pattern. Another example is Adrien; after he had a second chance to reinvent his hero persona, he chose to be perfect and gentlemanly like he is in his civilian form, rather than being the wild and goofy hero he normally is. As a result, his hero costume changed to make him look more gallant and refined. In "Evolution", it is shown that a Miraculous holder's costume can change over time if the holders physical preferences are different with age. For example, the Rabbit hero costume worn by present day Alix Kubdel has a few minor differences compared to that of her future counterpart.

Additionally, the Miraculous have the ability to magically disguise the identity of the wearer to human observers, regardless of how similar their civilian and costumed forms appear. As seen in "Pretension", the Miraculous even changes the user's scent while it's active. Thanks to Ladybug mentioning in "Lady Wifi", the masks that get created by the magic can't be removed by physical contact either. Furthermore, it's revealed in "Destruction" that the quantum masking is part of the kwami's magic and therefore the power of Sublimation can't be used to see through the disguise. However, AIs are able to see through it if they are advanced enough, which is how Uncanny Valley was able to recognize Marinette and Adrien as Ladybug and Cat Noir. Even though the magical disguises help to prevent humans from seeing similarities between their civilian and costumed forms, people might still figure out (or at least suspect) the identities of some miraculous holders, as Alya rightly suspected the identities of Cat Noir and Carapace.

If a Miraculous falls off or is removed from the holder while they are transformed, then they will immediately detransform back to their civilian self. A Miraculous does not need to be worn as intended to be used, as seen when a shrunken Multimouse wore the Cat Miraculous around her waist instead of on her finger. Also, despite them being worn and shrunk with the power of Multitude, the jewels still retained their full powers. Not all Miraculous have to be worn by its holder to activate them, as seen with Bunnyx and the Rabbit Miraculous in "Timetagger".

In Miraculous New York, it is revealed that each Miraculous has a different transformation phrase for when being used for good and evil. When Mike Rochip uses the Eagle Miraculous to transform into Miraclonizer, he says "Wings of Prey", whereas when Jessica Keynes transforms into Eagle, she says "Wings of Liberty". This is the only Miraculous that has been seen to have this difference between intentional uses until "Miraculous Paris", this is further proven to be true by Gabriel Agreste's transformation into Hawk Moth being triggered by "Dark Wings Rise" with the adjective 'dark' implying that the phrase that is used by him in the show and specials is the one used when a Miraculous holder uses their powers for evil. While his light incarnation says "Light Wings Rise" at the same time Shadybug, "Blots On" and Claw Noir, "Daggers Out" used the dark phrases of their jewels

Enhanced Physical Abilities[]

Sapotis 281

Miraculous superhuman agility.

An active Miraculous grants the wearer enhanced physical abilities, like strength and agility, as well as near invulnerability. Some Miraculouses appear to grant the user greater physical skills than others; the Fox Miraculous provides its wearer with greater agility than the Ladybug or Cat Miraculous. Although, it is noteworthy that the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses provide their users with means to compensate. If a person is already a natural in a physical ability, the Miraculous will enhance it even further, such as Marinette being naturally flexible and becoming even more flexible as Ladybug.

A Miraculous (or its owner's costume) is also capable of compensating for certain impairments, such as poor eyesight, as with Carapace's goggles replacing Nino's glasses, or even curing such impairments entirely while transformed, as is the case with Alya's lack of glasses as Rena Rouge. However, the Miraculous cannot compensate for or heal its holders injuries, as seen in "Riposte" when Adrien twisted his ankle and it still hurt after he transformed into Cat Noir.

As seen in "Startrain", the enhancement can also allow a Miraculous wearer to survive in the freezing airlessness of outer space, though it is unknown exactly how long they could last. Some of them also give the owners the abilities of the animals they are based on, like how Cat Noir has enhanced hearing and night vision.

Tools[]

Glaciator 341

The Miraculous will provide the user with an omni-purpose tool which functions as a weapon, a communication device, a search engine, and in some cases, a mode of transportation, among a number of various other functions.

These tools are indestructible and can be used for defense. Each one is unique to the Miraculous and they come in a variety of forms, including toys, musical instruments, weapons, and more.

Superpowers[]

SS (185)

Cat Noir utilizing the Cat Miraculous' superpower, Cataclysm, on an elevator.

Possibly the greatest benefit of the Miraculouses is that each one grants a unique superpower that corresponds to the abstract concept that the respective kwami embodies.[4] Some of the Miraculouses' powers follow the theme of the symbolism that animal represents, like the Ladybug Miraculous, with the power of creation, having the superpower Lucky Charm and ladybugs are symbols of good luck. The kinds of powers a Miraculous has aren't limited to the animal theme, though.[5]

Some Miraculouses can have the same type of powers but with minor differences, such as the Rabbit and Snake Miraculouses allowing the users to travel through time. However, while the Snake Miraculous gives the user the ability to transfer their consciousness to the point in the past when the power was activated, the Rabbit Miraculous gives the user the ability to physically transfer themselves to any point in time, regardless of any other physical instances they may have in the same timeline. This can also be said for the Butterfly Miraculous's Kamikotization and the Peacock Miraculous's Amokization; however, kamikos/akumas can't affect broken objects, but amoks can.

However a holder must be careful as there have been instances where Miraculouses can be negatively impacted if the kwami enters it with another object, lessening the wearer's powers such as Plagg getting Chloé's bracelet stuck on his head in "Rogercop". And even though, it's unknown what the full damage could be it's implied that if it does happen the powers will either not work at all, the way they're suppose to, or go out of control. As well as with a sick or injured kwami because that may hinder their owner's powers as well and the complete effects of what will happen if that occurs is unknown.

Viperion detransforming

An underage holder detrasforming after time runs out.

Using the superpower uses vital energy from the kwami, as well as from the miraculous holder. It's one thing for an adult holder, but in the case of an underage holder, who is less physically and mentally capable of handling the strain, there is a security system in place that makes it so the underage holder can only use their special superpower once per transformation. Furthermore, once the power is activated, an underage user only has five minutes until they detransform back to their civilian form (meaning they can stay transformed indefinitely if they don't use their superpower). This limitation allows a younger holder to use their superpower in a safe capacity before it becomes dangerous. The countdown to the detransformation is made visual by the symbol on the Miraculous flashing and going dark one piece at a time. Before the underage holder can transform again, the kwami needs to recharge by eating food. An underage holder will not be able to activate the superpower again until they detransform, recharge, and transform again. Although, there are notably some powers that fall under a different, but similar set of rules for underage holders. One example is the superpower of the Dragon Miraculous, it requires that all three powers be used before the holder detransforms back. Miraculouses that have powers related to time also play by different rules.

Miraculous World - Paris Special 1004

Shadybug being destroyed.

However, if used for evil intentions, it overrides the security system, allowing the evil under-aged holder to use their superpower without limitation. However, as previously mentioned, if an under-aged holder is subjected to that strain, the price to pay could be terrible. The symptoms of this can be seen as dark veins of corruption spreading across the young holder's body, slowly resulting in their demise. It's likely that if an evil under-aged holder uses more than one jewel at the same time, then the same thing will happen, but at a much faster rate. And yet, not much else is known about the affliction like will it still persist if the Miraculous is removed.

On an internet note, in "Queen Wasp", Queen Bee used the power of Venom to immobilize a subway driver so the train would become a runaway and she could stop it and look like a hero. In spite of this obviously villainous use of her superpower, the countdown timer still activated, as she did have the intention of being a hero.

Revolution 394

Ladybug and Cat Noir gaining their adult powers.

Upon reaching adulthood, a Miraculous holder is better equipped to handle the superpower draining their own energy to "feed" the kwami and sustain their transformation, and as a result, they gain the ability to safely use their superpower at the unlimited level without having to worry about their transformation coming undone, as seen with Bunnyx in "Timetagger".[6] Notably, it is revealed in "Revolution" that becoming an adult holder and being able to use the superpower multiple times does not necessarily mean growing up in the physical sense. Growing up in the metaphysical sense would also allow the user to use their superpower multiple times. However, it is revealed in "Evolution" that even for an adult holder, the effectiveness of the Miraculouses powers depend on the kwamis strength; the more their powers are used without giving them a chance to eat, the weaker they become, and the weaker the kwamis become, the more their holder will suffer with them. According to Su-Han, the Miraculouses were intended to be wielded by adults only.

As seen in "Re-creation", once a Miraculous holder achieves their adult powers, it's not just with their own Miraculous. They can use the unlimited level of the superpowers of any Miraculous. Bug Noire could use Cataclysm multiple times despite the Cat ring belonging to her partner. And also they may remove any weakness the individual superpowers have too.

Sometimes, depending on the Miraculous, they'll begin to grant their holders other abilities when they get older, such as stronger versions of their powers, but each adult version is unknown. In "Miraculous New York", when an adult uses the Eagle Miraculous, they will obtain the ability to fly. Although that could have simply been a result of the powers Hawk Moth gave Mike Rochip when he was into akumatized Techlonizer.

Magical Charm

An original power that Ladybug invented.

In "Mr. Pigeon 72", it is revealed that the powers of the Miraculous holders are limited only by the limits they put on themselves. It is entirely possible for them to develop new powers simply by allowing themselves to do so, while still keeping to the abstract concept that their kwami embodies. For example, the Ladybug Miraculous grants the power of creation, so Marinette is able to create magical charms to protect previous victims of Shadow Moth from being akumatized again. This development of new powers can possibly change the Miraculous wearers costumes. This information is not recorded in the Grimoire, as the Order of the Guardians were unaware of this.

Transformations with Multiple Piece Miraculouses[]

For Miraculouses that come in multiple pieces, like the Ladybug and Goat Miraculouses, the rules are a bit different. The user needs to wear both pieces for the Miraculous to work. If only one piece is removed, then their costume will disappear gradually, since the Kwami would be in both pieces of jewelry, one of which is still being worn. The costume would return to normal if the missing piece is put back on. It's currently unknown if a Miraculous transformation would still work with the one remaining piece.

In the terms of superpowers, it's also unknown if the loss of one Miraculous piece hinders or weakens the user's powers; a possibility brought up by Cat Noir in "Troublemaker", though Ladybug's Lucky Charm still worked normally after she put her lost earring back on. It remains unknown what would happen if a holder attempted to use their power while the piece was still missing.

Kwami Dominion[]

Sandboy (59)

Nooroo unable to get too far away from his holder due to a rule previously set by Gabriel.

A kwami is under the command of their Miraculous holder. When their Miraculous is not in use, a kwami can roam freely outside of the Miraculous, unless their Miraculous holder sets limits for how far away from them they are allowed to go. This was seen in "Sandboy" when Nooroo tried to fly away from Gabriel, but was stopped by some kind of invisible barrier due to Gabriel previously setting a rule that Nooroo was not allowed to get too far away from him. This same episode reveals that a Miraculous holder can set other rules that their kwami cannot disobey. When Gabriel ordered that Nooroo was not allowed to speak at all, Nooroo became incapable of opening his mouth, and was only able to open it again when Gabriel verbally confirmed that he wasn't serious. Since most of them don't talk about this rule they probably don't take it lightly as it's probably used in an emergency or last resort.

Additionally, when a transformation phrase is spoken by a Miraculous holder, the kwami is pulled into their Miraculous, even if they do not wish to be pulled in. Furthermore, as seen in "Dearest Family", even if there is a physical barrier between the kwami and holder, such as a wall, the kwami will still be pulled into the Miraculous when the transformation phrase is spoken, taking advantage of the kwamis ability to pass through matter. However, it would seem that the kwami does have to be within a certain range of the Miraculous in order for the transformation phrase to work, as Marinette was unable to transform while separated from Tikki in "Princess Fragrance". It is currently unknown exactly how far away the kwami would have to be for the holder to be unable to transform.

The only known commands that a kwami can refuse are revealing the civilian identities of other Miraculous holders and guardians. A spell cast on the kwamis prevent them from divulging such information.

Interestingly, as explained in "Destruction", a person only stops being a Miraculous holder if they actually renounce the jewel. Even if a Miraculous is stolen, the previous owner or guardian is still a kwami's holder just as much as the new holder who stole their Miraculous which Bug Noire mentioned herself during the final fight against Monarch. If a miraculous is forced or taken off and the holder doesn't want to renounce the jewel or kwami, then as seen with Adrien in "Lady Wifi", and Chloe in "Miracle Queen" Plagg and Pollen didn't disappear because of their owner's or guardian's intentions. And yet, for Gabriel when his was forced off Nooroo didn't materialize it could be that his jewel was speeding so fast that he didn't have enough time or due to Marinette being the guardian it could be that her status outranked his.

Miraculous Unification[]

Dragon Bug – Unification

A fusion of the Ladybug and Dragon Miraculous.

A person can wear and activate more than one Miraculous at the same time.[7] When activating more than one Miraculous at the same time, the user is able to call upon the powers and use the weapons of both Miraculouses. Additionally, their suit takes on a hybrid form, combining aspects of the suits of each individual Miraculous. The most Miraculouses seen unified at one time is seven, when Gabriel unified the Butterfly, Rabbit, Turtle, Fox, Bee, Dragon and Dog Miraculouses in "Evolution".

To invoke a fusion transformation, the Miraculous holder must say the names of the kwamis whose Miraculouses they wear and wish to fuse, and then say "Dual Metamorphosis", if they are activating 3 miraculous they can say "Triple Morphosis". But if they are activating both jewels while in civilian form, they could say "Unify" if they are activating a second jewel while one is already active or using multiple miraculous. The wearer might optionally choose to intertwine their hands, as seen in "Kwamibuster", "Miracle Queen", and "Evolution".

To return to civilian form from a unification, the owner must say "Reverse Morphosis". However, if the user wishes to instead depower one Miraculous while leaving the other active, the user must say the name of the kwami they want to release and say "Divide". An alternative way to unfuse would be to speak the detransformation phrase of the Miraculous whose kwami they want to release.

It's also known that the use of too many Miraculouses simultaneously may have very severe consequences to both the body and mind of the wearer. Such as just from wearing every Miraculous from a single Miracle box results in a minor fatigue as shown by Marinette in "Kwamibuster".

But in the terms of the holder's mind the miraculouses can be just as dangerous if not more if their mental state is already deteriorating while they're wearing one, before they do or before obtaining anymore. Such as Gabriel Agreste's obsession with the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses existed long before he found them and by the time he did Gabriel quickly resorted to violence instead of pleading his case implying that the holder may act irrational or at least not in their usual way. If someone like that had a miraculous or comes at the mercy of another Miraculous superpower they could cause severe harm to themselves and others like "Destruction", "Intuition" and "Emotion".

Through Monarch's greed in "Evolution", if someone has many Miraculouses and are hasty in trying to use them all, the more jewels a holder fuses, the more physical and mental energy they need to handle the strain. If a person fuses four or more together and don't give the kwamis time to recharge with a snack or overuse their powers, it will result in magical electrical discharge that causes the holder great pain, leading to both the holder and kwamis getting exhausted quicker. If this course of action persists, fatal damage to both the holder and the kwamis could ensue.

It's unknown if constantly fusing two or more Miraculouses will have lingering or harmful effects for the user or the kwamis, although Gabriel Agreste has yet to show any kind of drawback from repeatedly unifying the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses.

Damaged Miraculouses[]

Reflekdoll 132

The damaged Peacock Miraculous glitching

It is possible for a Miraculous to be damaged. Signs of damage include visible cracks on the jewels surface, and sometimes the Miraculous may glitch in between the camouflaged and charged modes. Aside from the Cataclysm, it's unknown what is actually capable of damaging them, although it is worth mentioning that the Peacock Miraculous was lost near an active fault filled with molten lava before it was found over a century later by Gabriel, Emilie, and Nathalie.

The Miraculous will still work if they're damaged; the user will still be able to transform and may still be able to use their superpowers normally (although Bunnyx was unable to use her power of time travel after her Miraculous was damaged and she was stranded in ancient Egypt). However, using a Miraculous in a damaged state causes serious harm to the user. As Gabriel said in "Ladybug", if someone uses a damaged Miraculous, the wounds on the jewel becomes the holder's wounds. When an adult holder uses a Miraculous, they can sustain their kwami with their own energy, so they don't time out after a single use of their superpower, but if said Miraculous is damaged, it results in them feeding off more energy from their adult holder or them expending more vital energy, leading to the user suffering fatigue and lingering health issues, as was the case with Nathalie.

It is revealed in "Passion" that the health of the person who used a damaged Miraculous will ultimately continue to deteriorate, even after they stop using the jewel, and even if it's later repaired. Furthermore, as revealed in "Representation", even one single use of a damaged jewel (or at least one use of the damaged Peacock Miraculous) can cause an ultimately terminal condition. One-time use means a slow-acting condition, with the afflicted person having around 13-15 years before it finally kills them. However, continued usages of the damaged Miraculous will expedite the negative side effects; after using the damaged Peacock Miraculous several times, Nathalie was left with only a few months to live.

Representation 115

Nathalie near her end, beyond all medicine.

The deterioration of the person's health will be minor at first and get worse over time, with severity increasing for each subsequent use of the damaged Miraculous; it starts with small coughing fits and trouble staying on their feet, but then it will get worse later on and soon it will reach a point where they can't walk without some kind of supports, and eventually they will be left totally bedridden and barely able to speak. Once they're near the end, their hair will start to turn gray, their skin will turn a sickly pale, and their facial features will become sunken with bags under their eyes. It's unknown if these side effects are the same for all the Miraculouses if damaged.

The only known way to save someone from this fate is by conjointly wearing the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses and using the Ultimate Miraculous Absolute Power to make a wish.

It should be noted that in "Timetagger", the Rabbit Miraculous was damaged and Bunnyx showed no signs that it affected her, despite having been transformed with the damaged jewel for thousands of years in the obelisk. There are a number of possible explanations for this; one possibility is that being sealed in the obelisk kept her body in a constant state. Another is that the Miraculous of time might follow a different set of rules. It could also be because Bunnyx was already transformed with her Miraculous before the damage was inflicted, as opposed to the Peacock Miraculous, which had already been damaged long before Emilie, Colt, or Nathalie first used it.

The kwami will be affected by the damage as well. Though it is no physical danger to them like it is to their holder, it does cause mental effects. In "Truth", Duusu described his mental state from his Miraculous being damaged as having "complete chaos" in his head, resulting in severe mood swings and a lack of properly understanding the current situation. It the Peacock Miraculous was repaired, Duusu likened the experience to having been dreaming.

It's currently unknown what would happen if a damaged Miraculous were to be unified with another jewel.

Repairing a Miraculous[]

Truth (04)

Mixing the adhesive potion.

When a Miraculous is damaged, it can be repaired by mixing an adhesive from molten gold and meteorite dust. Also added is an example of the animal that the damaged Miraculous in question is based on; for example, to repair the Peacock Miraculous, the molten gold and meteorite dust require a peacock feather. This mixture creates the adhesive for the Peacock Miraculous specifically. The list of animal DNA examples, recipes, and the instructions for brewing the adhesive are listed and encoded in the Miraculous spellbook.

The resulting liquid can be used as glue to seal the cracks on the Miraculous. After applying a drop of the potion to the cracks, the person must speak the words, "Miraculous, Repair Yourself", in which the Miraculous levitates and shines with a bright light, sealing the cracks. The light then dissipates and the newly repaired Miraculous drops to the floor.

After being repaired, the Miraculous becomes safe to use again. But even if a damaged Miraculous is fixed, the harmful effects it had on a user's body remain. Despite the Peacock Miraculous being repaired, Emilie remained in her coma and Nathalie was still bedridden as a result of their use during its damaged state.

Aside from this adhesive, the only other way to repair a Miraculous is for it to have been damaged during a crisis involving other forms of Miraculous magic so that the magic ladybugs of Ladybug Miraculous can fix them.

Renouncing a Miraculous[]

To give up a Miraculous, the user must simply intentionally verbally confirm their desire to renounce their Miraculous and its kwami.[8] Once done, the kwami disappears back into the newly dormant Miraculous. When the Miraculous gets put on again, whether by the same user or a new one, the kwami comes back out of the Miraculous.

If Miraculouses are removed without intentionally verbally renouncing them, the kwami is not pulled back into their Miraculous. The kwami will only disappear if the owner wants to get rid of the Miraculous. Though this is inconsistent as on several occasions, kwamis are pulled pack into their Miraculous when removed without intentionally verbally renunciation by the Miraculous holder. It's possible because the Miraculous are still charged, the holder didn't say the detransformation phrase before they got removed from him or her as seen in "Evolution", "Miraculous Paris", and "Re-creation".

Kwamis can do their own form of renouncing. If they can convince their holders to surrender their Miraculous, the kwamis are free to take their Miraculous, remain active, and find a new holder.

Destruction of Miraculouses[]

While the durability of the Miraculouses are unknown, there are instances where they have been damaged or destroyed, such as by other forms of Miraculous magic like Cataclysm. The also seem to be much less durable when in their camouflage mode, as seen in "Timebreaker". There are a few ways they can be repaired, such as by using the Miraculous Ladybug restoration power, or by someone who has the knowledge to fix them. It is currently unknown if they can be remade from scratch.

For the destruction of Miraculouses that have multiple pieces it's same as a single piece, but all of the pieces must be destroyed for the kwami to be returned to it's non corporeal form, but it's unknown in the event what will happen to a kwami of a multiple piece Miraculous if at least one piece is intact.

The Miraculouses are what grant the kwamis their corporeal form. If a Miraculous were to be destroyed, like in "Queen Wasp", "Miraculous Shanghai", "Cat Blanc" and "Optigami", its connected kwami would not be harmed or killed, but they would revert back to their original non-corporeal form and no longer be detectable by physical beings.[9] As Sass warned Monarch in "Evolution", "If you destroy us, you'll destroy yourself too", implying that going without food could harm the kwamis as well possibly return them to their non-corporeal forms. If so, it's unknown if the Miraculous they are connected to will be affected in any way.

In "Destruction", Gabriel melted all the Miraculous in his possession except for the Butterfly Miraculous and reforged them into rings via the machine provided to him by Tomoe Tsurugi and her company because of their partnership formed in "Multiplication", which gave him the ability to transfer Miraculous superpowers to his akumatized supervillains. The usage of the Miraculouses' tools and Miraculous superpowers still worked, but it's currently unknown if the transformation and unification abilities still functioned. Although the latter was rendered somewhat moot with Monarch being able to use five Miraculous superpowers with no ill effects. In "Re-creation", it was revealed that while the user could still use the powers and tools that come with the reconfigured Miraculouses, they didn't transform their holder at all.

Miraculous Power-up Potions[]

For more information, see Miraculous potions
Syren (569)

Cheese with potions added.

With each new environment comes a new set of rules. The Miraculous potions can temporarily give a Miraculous holder special powers to compensate. The extra powers will only last for a single transformation. There are seven different potions, identified by their different colors.

By having their kwami consume the potion prior to transforming, or by consuming the potion themselves after transforming, and speaking the activation phrase: Power Up, the Miraculous holder will gain a special suit and abilities suited to the troublesome terrain they are faced with. To deactivate the effects of the potion and return to their regular superhero form, the Miraculous user must speak the deactivation phrase: Power Down.

Only the ingredients matter, so the potions don’t have to be in liquid form; the potions can be contained in anything and still work as long as all the ingredients are present.

Modes[]

QB Transform Begin

A Miraculous changes from camouflaged mode to charged mode.

The Miraculouses were made as various types of jewelry, ranging from earrings to necklaces to rings to brooches to hair combs to pocket watches and more. However, all of the Miraculouses have three distinct modes: charged, activated and camouflaged.[10]

Charged[]

In its charged mode, which happens when the Miraculous is inhabited by its kwami, meaning that either the Miraculous isn't being used by anyone, or that its holder is transformed, the Miraculous takes on a more colorful, exotic design in this mode that better resembles the animal that it represents.

RD (65)

Marinette asks Tikki to hold on to the Ladybug Miraculous.

In "Reflekdoll", it is revealed that when a holder takes off their Miraculous without renouncing it, the kwami stays free from the Miraculous with the jewelry staying in its camouflaged mode. Upon being in contact with its respective kwami, the Miraculous will change to its charged mode.

Camouflaged[]

In its camouflaged mode, which occurs when the kwami is outside the Miraculous, meaning that its possessed by a holder who is not currently transformed, the Miraculous takes on a more dull appearance. While the appearance of the Miraculous in charged mode is always the same, camouflaged mode is different for each user, changing color and even shape to match wearers sense of style. For example, when Adrien wears the Cat Miraculous, its camouflage mode is silver, but for Marinette, it's rose gold.

The variation between charged and camouflaged mode varies between Miraculous. The Ladybug Miraculous, in Marinette's possession, appears as simple black earrings in its camouflaged mode but red with black spots in its charged mode, and the Cat Miraculous, in Adrien's possession, is a plain white ring in its camouflaged mode but black with a green cat paw design in its charged mode. In contrast, the only difference between the Fox Miraculous in its charged and camouflaged mode is that in its charged mode it acquires golden lines that divide the necklace into five sections whose orange color degrades with each section.

In "Kwamibuster", it is revealed that a Miraculous in its camouflaged mode can even be something different entirely from when it is in its charged mode, depending on the wearer. The Monkey Miraculous, which is a circlet, transforms into a headband when worn by Marinette. This is meant to make the Miraculous more difficult to spot on a holder in civilian attire. By "Lady Wifi", as seen with Adrien, when a miraculous is forced off the jewel returns to it's camouflaged mode and the kwami comes out.

Activated[]

Evolution (51)

All the Miraculouses Monarch wears in activated mode, except for the Butterfly and the Rabbit, which are in charged mode.

In its activated mode, a kwami isn't inhabiting the Miraculous and the Miraculous hasn't yet been claimed by an owner, meaning that if they have the Miraculous but have not accepted it yet, it will be in activated mode. When a Miraculous is in its activated mode, it looks similar to how it does in its charged mode, as it has not yet taken on a camouflaged form that matches the holders style, but with the animal symbol being dark or absent.

A Miraculous will also enter the activated mode if the wearer has spoken the transformation phrase, but before the kwami has actually entered the miraculous.

Additionally, when the miraculous holder is wearing multiple Miraculouses, but doesn't use all of them, the ones which are not used change into their activated mode.

List of known Miraculous[]

There is currently a total of thirty-six known Miraculouses. Nineteen of them belong to the Chinese Miracle Box and are currently in Paris, France. The other seventeen belong to the Native American Miracle Box and are currently in New York, U.S.A..

Because of the existence of a Multiverse made of billions of different universes, there are multiple versions of each Miraculous in each of the many differents universes. Each Miraculous may be used by the counterparts of the same person who may adopt different superhero/supervillain identity or by different holders altogether.

Trivia[]

  • Despite the Miraculouses being made thousands of years ago, they've managed to retain their appearances, suggesting it was done by divine means or the material the Miraculouses are made of is immune to breaking down through time alone.
    • Aside from that it's unknown what material the Miraculous are made of.
    • However, Gabriel Agreste was able to crush, melt, and recast them with non magical technology, and the Peacock Miraculous was damaged by magma, so they are not indestructible.
  • According to what Fu says in "Princess Fragrance", the Miraculouses might be connected to ancient China. This may be why all the most powerful Miraculouses are together in the Chinese Miracle Box which resembles Chinese elements.
    • The Ladybug Miraculous and Cat Miraculous are set opposite each other in a yin-yang or tajitu section in the Chinese Miracle Box. The Ladybug Miraculous is placed in yin, and the Cat Miraculous is placed in yang.
    • The other Miraculouses on the top level are arranged around the yin-yang in a similar fashion to the five elements in Wu Xing; the Fox, Bee, Turtle, Butterfly, and Peacock Miraculouses corresponding to the fire element, earth element, wood element, metal element, and water element respectively.
    • The Miraculouses on the lower levels of the box all correspond with the Chinese Zodiac.
    • All of the first Miraculous wielders depicted in the Grimoire all appear to come from Ancient China.
  • In the French dub, the transformation phrase for each Miraculous is saying the respective kwami's name followed by "transforme moi", which means "transform me". In most dubs, each Miraculous has its own unique phrase that relates to what animal the Miraculous and its kwami are based on.
    • The Korean dub seems to be a combination of both: While the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses have their own unique phrase, every other Miraculous's transformation phrase is "Transformation!" followed by the superhero name of the Miraculous user, going against the fact that the users choose their own names.
      • This results in Aspik's and Viperion's incantations being different, despite both using the same Miraculous. However, when transforming in "Miracle Queen", Jade Turtle uses a different phrase.
      • The Eagle Miraculous also has its own unique phrase in the Korean dub.
    • In the German dub, similarly to the French dub, the transformation and detransformation phrases for each Miraculous holder are "Verwandle mich!", which translates to "Transform me!", and "Verwandle mich zurück!", which translates to "Turn me back!" respectively.
      • However, up until "Queen Wasp", the transformation and detransformation phrase for the Butterfly Miraculous was unique.
    • In the Catalan dub, similarly to the French and German dubs, the transformation and detransformation phrases for each Miraculous holder are "transforma'm" and "detransforma'm/destransformació", respectively.
  • In the English dub, the term Miraculous is used as both the singular and plural form, in contrast with Astruc's preference for adding -es for more than one[11], though there were occasions when characters used Miraculouses with the added -es to refer to more than one Miraculous.
  • In the Korean dub, they're called "Miracle Stones".
    • Given that the Miraculouses are jewelry, this makes sense.
  • More than one Miraculous can be the same type of jewelry, such as the Butterfly Miraculous and Peacock Miraculous both being brooches; the Fox, Dragon, Dog and Mouse Miraculouses all being necklaces; the Rooster and Cat Miraculouses both being rings; and the Turtle, Snake, and Tiger Miraculouses all being bracelets.
  • So far, the Butterfly and the Peacock Miraculouses are the only two Miraculous that have been used for evil purposes for an extended period of time. It's unknown if any of the other Miraculouses were used for evil or how many other people have tried to take them from their chosen wielders in the past.
    • And yet, in "Ladybug & Cat Noir", Fu mentioned he made the wrong choice once before. In "Feast", it is revealed he was referring to himself and that choice led to the end of the Order of the Guardians.
    • According to "Timetagger", it turns out the Butterfly Miraculous will be used for evil again, but it won't be Gabriel Agreste who has it. Instead, a successor will take his place, who this successor's civilian identity is remains unknown.
    • The Bee Miraculous was briefly used for evil by Queen Bee in "Queen Wasp" and "The Battle of the Miraculous".
    • The Cat Miraculous was briefly used for evil by Chat Blanc in the alternative future in "Cat Blanc" and by Gabriel as Shadow Noir in "Ephemeral" and as Monarch in "Deflagration".
    • The Eagle Miraculous was briefly used for evil by Miraclonizer in the New York special.
    • The Ladybug Miraculous was briefly used for evil by Monarch Bug in "Deflagration".
  • At the beginning of the series, there were only seven Miraculouses revealed: the ones stored on the top level of the Chinese Miracle Box; but Thomas Astruc explained that it's a bit more complicated than that, with more information being discovered about them throughout the first three seasons of the series.[12]
    • Jeremy Zag also states the Chinese Miracle Box has more than one level containing Miraculouses, meaning that there were other Miraculouses that had yet to be seen[13] with more confirmation coming from the official Miraculous Ladybug Tumblr blog, which stated that there are "many more" Miraculouses than the ones that were known about initially.[14]
      • Which are revealed in "Sapotis", unveiling twelve other Miraculouses.
      • Thomas noted in an interview that the crew wants to expand on all of the Miraculouses in the Chinese Miracle Box.[15]
  • The beginning of "Ladybug & Cat Noir" shows three Miraculous holders, Cernunnos, Herakles, and Tomoe Gozen, whose Miraculouses are unknown.
TSSB 5
  • In the animatic of the theme song, a Miracle Box, most likely what would become the Chinese Miracle Box has many Miraculouses that are not used in the final version, including what appear to be Miraculouses themed around an eagle, bear, lion, chicken, zebra, and bull.
    • However, the Eagle Miraculous was later used by Sparrow and was revealed to be part of the Native American Miracle Box alongside the Bear Miraculous.
    • Using the same setup in the animatic for "Ladybug & Cat Noir", the Miracle box has most of the same Miraculouses, but the Butterfly Miraculous is replaced with Fish Miraculous earrings.[16]
  • The official Miraculous Ladybug Tumblr blog noted that the TV series, comic books, and web series would show the history of the Miraculouses.[17]
  • As revealed by Sébastien Thibaudeau in a press release video, Marinette would "find herself giving Miraculouses".[18]
    • Also, at some point, a female character would give back a Miraculous to Ladybug. The character and the Miraculous initially being unknown.[18]
      • It was later revealed in "Sapotis" that the character Ladybug gave a Miraculous to and later returned to her was Alya, who received the Fox Miraculous. Does so again in "Syren", "Catalyst", "Miraculer", "Startrain" and "Gang of Secrets". Chloé was given and returned the Bee Miraculous in "Malediktator", Kagami was given the Dragon Miraculous in "Ikari Gozen", when Mylène got the Mouse Miraculous in "Mega Leech", Zoé getting the Bee Miraculous in "Queen Banana", Juleka getting the Tiger Miraculous in "Crocoduel", Sabina getting the Dog Miraculous in "Penalteam" and Alix with the Rabbit Miraculous in "Evolution".
    • Which is also revealed in "Anansi" when she gave the Turtle Miraculous to Nino, Adrien, then Luka who received the Snake Miraculous in "Desperada", Max with the Horse Miraculous in "Startrain", the Goat Miraculous to Nathaniel, the Rooster Miraculous to Marc and the Ox Miraculous to Ivan in "Penalteam".
  • It's been seen in "Antibug", "Volpina", and "The Dark Owl" that copies of the jewels can be destroyed.
    • Meaning it's not uncommon for copies of the jewels to be made to throw off thieves or those who wanted to use the jewels selfishly.
    • In "Mayura", it's revealed that a Miraculous can be damaged like the Peacock Miraculous, although it's unknown how it happened in that case.
      • However it is possible that it, like the Rabbit Miraculous, was damaged by a previous user of the Cat Miraculous with a Cataclysm long ago, was negatively impacted when Duusu entered his Miraculous with something else, or it could've been damaged by others means, like improper care.
      • It's revealed in "Miracle Queen" and "Truth", since there is also knowledge of how to repair the Miraculouses it confirms there have been incidents of the jewels being broken in the past and having bad effects on their wielders.
        • Since the Ladybug Miraculous can also repair a Miraculous in almost any condition it's likely this one is used as a backup just in case a guardian in training hasn't been taught the knowledge or it ends up lost.
  • Through the centuries the Miraculouses have been called many names, like how the Cat Miraculous is called the Ring of the Black Cat or the Ladybug Miraculous being called the Ladybug Earrings.
  • According to Tikki in "Kwamibuster", the Miraculous holder should never ever find out the other Miraculous holders' true identity until the villains are defeated, as Ladybug said in "Troublemaker"; otherwise, the Miraculous holders have to surrender their jewels for their own safety, which explains the reason why Plagg disagreed with Adrien's guess that the Ladybug Miraculous holder is a student and is attending the same school as him which is Marinette.
    • However there were incidents where Marinette set that rule aside as of with Nino and Alya in "Heroes Day" because she was under an emergency and couldn't think of an excuse to separate them.
    • This is most likely because a villain could use a hero's secret identity against them, like how Hawk Moth used Queen Bee's to get her to join him.
      • How he tried to use Cat Noir's against Ladybug to get what he wanted but ended with terrible results.
      • How he tried to use Alya's identity to betray Ladybug in "Sentibubbler".
      • Outside of Chloé, she continues to give the Miraculouses to her and Cat Noir's remaining allies all the while continuing to pick new ones.
      • She still very strict on keeping the identity rule between her and Cat Noir mostly likely out of the fear of another Cat Blanc incident happening.
  • Each Miraculous transformation sequence lasts an average of sixteen seconds.
    • The longest transformation sequence so far is the Snake Miraculous with Luka Couffaine, lasting about twenty five seconds.
    • The shortest transformation sequence so far is the Eagle Miraculous with Jessica Keynes, lasting about ten seconds.
  • Seven of the nineteen known Miraculouses have been used throughout the first and second seasons: three in the first season, and four in the second.
    • As of the third season, all the Miraculouses from the Miracle Box were worn:
      • Throughout the season, the Dragon, Snake, Horse, and Monkey Miraculouses were temporarily given to four new users.
      • In "Timetagger", the Rabbit Miraculous from a different time period was used.
      • During "Kwamibuster", Marinette wears all the Miraculouses currently kept in the Miracle Box but only utilized the powers of the Mouse Miraculous unifiying it with the Fox, Ladybug, and Cat Miraculouses to become Multifox, Multibug, and Multinoir respectively.
      • In "Miracle Queen" all of the Miraculouses were used in some way:
        • The Ladybug, Cat, Dragon, Snake, Butterfly, Peacock, Bee, Turtle, Fox, Horse, and Monkey were used to transform.
        • The Mouse, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Goat, Rooster, Dog, and Pig Miraculouses were worn with the intention of being used by Chloé, but she was unable to do, lacking the knowledge of the transformation phrases or the names of the kwamis that would allow her to use them.
    • As of the fourth season, the Bee, Mouse, Tiger, Ox, Goat, Rooster, Dog and Pig Miraculouses were temporarily given to eight new users.
  • When Techlonizer was given the Eagle Miraculous, he was told by Hawk Moth that the transformation phrase was "Wings of Prey". According to Thomas Astruc, the reason for this is because the Miraculous uses a different transformation phrase when used for evil.
    • It is currently unknown why there would be a different transformation phrase for villainous intentions, as the Miraculouses were created specifically for heroic purposes, as stated by Nooroo in "Ladybug & Cat Noir".
    • This may explain why Hawk Moth's transformation and detransformation phrase is "Dark Wings".
  • In "Feast", it's confirmed that there are other Miraculous besides the ones inside Master Fu's Miracle Box. It's revealed that they were eaten by a sentimonster created by Master Fu with the Peacock Miraculous. After the sentimonster was defeated and Ladybug used her Miraculous Ladybug, all the eaten Miraculous were restored.
  • During "Kwamibuster", Marinette simultaneously wielded as many as sixteen Miraculouses. A feat that Master Fu noted had never been achieved in all of history.
    • That same feat was achieved by Gabriel in "Evolution". However, Gabriel was unable to maintain this state for as long as Ladybug as unlike her, Gabriel used several Miraculous at a time, while Marinette wore them to summon the kwamis and only used up to two per clone.
  • In "Miraculous New York", it's revealed the Peacock and Butterfly Miraculouses aren't the only Miraculouses that went missing by the time the guardians' temple was destroyed. The Eagle Miraculous that belongs in the Native American Miracle Box and presumably many more from other Miracle Boxes that were lost over the centuries.
  • As of Strikeback, Gabriel is the only known person outside the Order of the Guardians to have all the Chinese Miraculouses in his possession at some point in time.
