chrysalis.
A miraculous has never broken before, but when Danielle Agreste tried to steal a brooch from her uncle, that's exactly what happened. Now, Leda feels she has no choice but to help her wounded kwami and stop Hawk Moth.
“Champions must be made off positive emotions, not negative ones. Anger, sadness, and fear will result in a weaker champion, and without proper treatment, your health will suffer long after they are gone. Only emotions like happiness, determination, and fear should be the base for champions.”

Danielle’s eyebrows furrowed together. “You said fear both times.”
characters.
Danielle Agreste
Cis Girl | 15 | Leda | Chaotic Good
Danielle has been deemed a problem child after getting into a fight at school, but she has a reason for the fight that she keeps close to the vest. She's cold and standoffish at first glance, but she's got a big heart she's trying to defend. After she breaks the butterfly miraculous, she agrees to help Nooroo get back in one piece and becomes the hero Leda, fighting her counterpart Hawk Moth alongside Ladybug and Chat Noir.
Adrien Agreste
Cis Boy | 15 | Chat Noir | Neutral Good
Adrien is Danielle's cousin, a model, and the hero Chat Noir. He longs for freedom but only seems to get it as his alter ego due to his father's strict schedule. He's got a heart of gold and is kind to everyone he meets, even if they don't deserve it. His relationship with Danielle is rocky, but he's willing to meet her in the middle if she will.
Nooroo
Genderless | Old AF | Kwami | True Neutral
Nooroo is the butterfly kwami and serves both Hawk Moth and Danielle. Due to their miraculous being split, they can only appear in a semi-transparent form and are easily weakened. They want to help Leda, Chat Noir, and Ladybug take down Hawk Moth, but they are bound by their magic and rules that they must serve their holder and cannot reveal their identities.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng
Cis Girl | 14 | Ladybug | Lawful Good
Marinette is Ladybug, one of Paris's superhero and the only one with the power to purify Hawk Moth's akumas and undo the damage they've caused. She's also a student in Danielle and Adrien's class and has a massive crush on Adrien, but he is unaware. Her parents are bakers, and despite the bakery being right across the street from school, she's often late.
Chloe Bourgeois
Cis Girl | 15 | Student | True Neutral
Chloe presents herself as a stereotypical, wealthy mean girl, but like Danielle, she does so to protect herself. After her mother ditched her and her father for a cash grab and her step mother did the same thing, Chloe's learned that people will readily manipulate her to get to her money. As a result, she trusts very few people. Among those are Adrien, who is as wealthy as her, and Leda, who has no way of getting money from her without revealing her identity, and therefore, no motive.
