PersonalityBoth Marinette and Adrien share a few traits, due to being an evil-fighting duo; they're both kind and caring, always trying to be helpful to everyone they encounter. Being teenagers, though, does mean they have the same emotional issues of any other. Marinette is easily flustered, especially when things concern Adrien. She's prone to fits of jealousy, anger, and annoyance, and can be quite self-centered when she's too focused on something, as well as a nasty habit of holding grudges. But Marinette is quick to make up for rash judgments or rude behavior, being incredibly thoughtful to her friends and family. Marinette is also incredibly resourceful and clever, both in and out of her Ladybug persona, though this easily can lead to her overthinking herself into a tizzy.
Adrien, on the other hand, has a much better handle on his emotions. He's prone to forgiving others even when their bad qualities outweigh their good. and tends to be more reserved due to his upbringing. Though, his sheltered childhood made him a bit emotionally immature - he's impulsive and gullible, quick to act when he can get away with doing so. He lets loose when he's Cat Noir, being cocky and show-offish, and overall much more out-going than his usual self.
AbilitiesWhen using their Miraculous, Marinette and Adrien gain increased strength, agility, stamina, and endurance; nothing major, but enough to make a difference (ie, being able to lift/carry/throw grown adults with ease, jump higher and farther than normal, able to take a beating, etc). Each Miraculous also has with it a special power, activated through saying the name aloud. This is crucial, since even saying the words casually while transformed will cause the power to activate, and being rendered mute will leave them unable to do so entirely. Due to their age and inexperience with their Miraculous, Marinette and Adrien can only use their Power once, and will be forced to transform back five minutes after they use it.
As Ladybug, Marinette holds the power of Creation, granting her the
Lucky Charm, which creates just the right item needed to solve whatever conflict she's in. Usually, the item's purpose isn't clear, and the proper way to use it has to be figured out by Marinette. Also, the Ladybug Miraculous that Marinette has is the only one capable of countering Hawk Moth's and Mayura's own powers, as well as being able to undo any damage done by the villains, by tossing her Lucky Charm in the air, where it disperses into magical butterflies that put everything back to normal.
Cat Noir has the power of Destruction, in the form of
Cataclysm. Black energy swirls around Adrien's right hand when he uses it, and whatever he touches with it will break - from corroding metal to crumbling rock and even short-circuiting electronics. A Cataclysm can be held in Cat Noir's hand for as long as his transformation holds. He doesn't have any control over what the Cataclysm affects, so the next thing he touches once it's activated will absorb its use. On the flipside, Cat Noir won't be able to use that hand unless he uses up the Cataclysm on something.
EquipmentMarinette's and Adrien's ability to turn into Ladybug and Cat Noir comes from magical artifacts known as the
Miraculous. Each Miraculous is home to what's known as a
Kwami, small animal-like fairies that bestow their powers onto the Miraculous users. Kwamis have personalities and can act on their own whenever their Miraculous is not in use. Also, each Miraculous user gains a Tool of some sort, usually a weapon or device that they can fight with (along with other uses).
The Ladybug Miraculous, used by Marinette, looks like a pair of earrings (
camouflaged and
active) and is inhabited by
Tikki. To transform into Ladybug, it's
"Spots On", while to transform back is
"Spots Off". Ladybug uses a
Yo-yo, which she uses to summon her Lucky Charm and to deal with Akumas and Amoks. Can also be used as a telephone, a mirror, and a breathing device, as well as a tracker for Cat Noir (when he's transformed).
The Cat Miraculous, used by Adrien, looks like a ring (
camouflaged and
active), and is inhabited by
Plagg. To transform into Cat Noir, it's
"Claws Out", while to transform back is
"Claws In". Cat Noir uses an extendable
staff, which has no limit to how far it can extend. Like above, it can be used as a phone and a breathing device.
On top of this, both characters have smartphones, as well as supplies of macaroons (Marinette) and cheese (Adrien) to feed their Kwamis whenever they need to recharge. They also have special magic versions of their respective snacks, though that will be addressed below.
Character alignmentNeutral Good
OtherBoth Marinette and Adrien have special versions of their Kwami's food, made from Potions, which grants the Kwami a unique form and allows for their hero transformations to change, too. The issue is that there's about 7 different kinds, with only 2 being shown, and a third being talked about. A potion that grants water-based traversal, ice-based traversal, and space-based traversal. I'm omitting these for the moment until either they fully show up in the series or I can work out what the others do with the GM.
