“ | Well, if I were the principal, things would be different here! | ” |
—Olga Mendeleiev, "Confrontation" |
Olga Mendeleiev is a minor character of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. She is a former physics, science, math teacher and the current principal of Collège Françoise Dupont.[2]
In "Kwamibuster", after nobody believed her after she tried to prove the kwamis' existence on TV, she was akumatized by Hawk Moth into Kwamibuster, a paranormal hunter-themed supervillain.
In "Collusion", Ms. Mendeleiev became the principal of Collège Françoise Dupont, replacing Mr. Damocles.
Appearance
Physical appearance
Olga is tall with short dark purple hair, deep cornflower blue eyes, prominent lips, a beauty mark on her left cheek, and a pointy chin.
Civilian attire
She wears black square-framed glasses, along with a purple V-necked dress shirt with a white scientific scribble pattern and popped collar, underneath a white lab coat. She also wears a brown watch on her right wrist, blue jeans, a brown leather belt, and red high heel shoes.
As Kwamibuster
Kwamibuster had light purplish gray skin and brilliant fuchsia hair. Her hairstyle was unchanged. She had a gray mask and black goggles with light chartreuse green lenses over her eyes, and her eyes were brilliant amaranth. She wore a medium gray, black, and dark gray armor-like jumpsuit with a light green and gray vacuum cleaner on her back like a turtle's shell.

Personality
Olga is a strict, sharp-tongued, and grouchy teacher who expects her students to be hardworking, focused, and well-behaved, and she becomes cross with her students who are not. She is easily irritated by people bossing her around, but she shows some fear if she finds herself in serious trouble, like with Rogercop in the episode of the same name. She can also be incredibly stubborn and rude, as shown in "Robostus", in which she refuses to believe both Max Kanté and Markov when they claim the latter has real, human emotions. Despite this, she can be tricked somewhat easily, finding herself dumbfounded after Marinette Dupain-Cheng manipulates her into letting her see Denis Damocles in "Robostus".
Despite her more anti-social tendencies, she cares deeply for her students and is devoted to her job of educating them. She is also brave and willing to put herself in danger to protect her students, as shown when she tried to protect Max from a marauding akumatized Markov, an act which nearly got her killed had Ladybug not saved her.
As Kwamibuster, her desire for success increased drastically as she stopped at nothing to capture and study the Kwamis.
Abilities
As a сivilian
Ms. Mendeleiev teaches high school math and science, suggesting that she is well versed in these subjects.
As a member of the school faculty, she has the authority to confiscate a student's personal property, as well as give them detention. Her reputation as a mean teacher is something she weaponizes to get kids to behave.
As Kwamibuster
While Kwamibuster didn't have any superpowers, she wielded a vacuum-like gun attached to a canister on her back. Any Kwami hit by the beam from her vacuum would be sucked in and trapped in the canister, unable to phase through. It would even work on a Kwami inside a Miraculous.

- She also has her own class, but she teaches Caline's class in her own classroom for particular subjects in some episodes like "The Evillustrator" and "Princess Fragrance".
- Ms. Mendeleiev's known students are Aurore Beauréal, Mireille Caquet, Jean Duparc, Marc Anciel, and Zoé Lee.
- Ms. Mendeleiev's appearance and personality strongly resemble that of Miss Battle-Axe from the Horrid Henry series, in that they are both strict and acerbic teachers with little patience for misbehaviour from their charges. However, Ms. Mendeleiev is much nicer in comparison, has purple hair as opposed to grey like Miss Battle-Axe and wears square-rimmed glasses rather than horn-rimmed.
- Ms. Mendeleiev's akumatized persona, Kwamibuster, is an obvious reference to the Ghostbusters franchise.
