Season 1
In "Ladybug & Cat Noir (Origins - Part 1)", Marinette opened the box that held the Ladybug Miraculous, releasing Tikki. Tikki tried calming Marinette down when they first met, but Marinette threw books at her until she caught Tikki underneath a glass. Tikki explained to Marinette what she was (a kwami), the powers she granted (Lucky Charm and Miraculous Ladybug), the duty that was given to Marinette (purifying the akuma), and how Marinette would be able to transform. She emphasized that Marinette could not tell anyone about her existence. She convinced Marinette that she was her friend and had Marinette transform into Ladybug. Together, with the help of Cat Noir, they took down Stoneheart. However, Marinette forgot to capture the akuma, allowing it to multiply and create more Stonehearts. Marinette felt guilty and took off the Ladybug Miraculous, much to Tikki's protests. Because Marinette did not want her, Tikki was trapped in the Ladybug Miraculous.

In "Stoneheart (Origins - Part 2)", Tikki was still trapped in the Ladybug Miraculous. Marinette tried to give her Miraculous to Alya Césaire by putting the Miraculous in Alya's bag, but Alya didn't take her bag with her when she went after Stoneheart.

The kwami continue to watch Marinette's swooning until they were alerted by a cellphone call from Alya, after Marinette rushed out the door. Tikki caught up to remind Marinette that she was still in her pajamas then hid in her bag. After being chased by Adrien's fan mob the two friends made to the movie theaters with Adrien. Until Gorizilla bursts through the ceiling and kidnaps Adrien seeing her friend in danger Tikki and Marinette transformed into Ladybug. But with the villain's brute size, strength and Cat Noir nowhere to be found Ladybug found it difficult to fight alone but used a toy helicopter to get out of the villain's grip. When was Adrien falling Ladybug called for her partner but after Gorizilla let her go the heroine caught him and the two safely landed on the ground. With their time running out Ladybug had to hurry with "Adrien" acting as bait and Cat Noir finally arriving they were able to stop Gorizilla.

After an exhausting day they detransformed and went home, Tikki was told by Marinette that she had the best day ever but seeing her conditions Marinette switched it to the worst the day of her life. Until Tikki listened into another call from Alya and her friends begging for more details and heard they're still at the pool.

In "Captain Hardrock", Tikki came with Marinette to Juleka's mother's houseboat to help Juleka's mother Anarka Couffaine prepare for the musical festival. But that was put on hold when Anarka was akumatized in Captain Hardrock. Then, after Marinette and everyone became prisoners below the ship once the coast was clear Tikki phased through the chain setting Marinette and Luka free. Quickly finding a place to hide Tikki and Marinette transformed into Ladybug and upon meeting Cat Noir the heroes tried their best to control or anchor the ship with no success. After using a chain and tying it around the compass the ship ran a ground leading to Captain Hardrock's defeat and everyone having fun at the music festival.

In "Troublemaker", Tikki was watching the show from Marinette's computer. Then, heard Jagged and Penny coming upstairs and quickly hid, once Marinette found her room live on camera.

Afterwards they transformed into Ladybug and meet up with Cat Noir however they had trouble fighting the villain with her intangibility. Despite that using a plate, super glue and playing a risk the heroes were able to save Penny.

The next day, Tikki asked Marinette if she was okay and was informed that Marinette was never going to convince her parents to have a tv show at their house. Tikki commented on that if Marinette wanted the whole world to know her secrets, after hearing Marinette's conversation with Adrien at school. She told her that she can relax and praised Marinette for her progress as the two shared a laugh and a head nuzzle.

In "Frightningale", Tikki was watching Clara Nightningale's video as Marinette tried to do the moves and agreed that she was amazing. But when she heard that Clara was doing her next video to honor Ladybug and Cat Noir, Tikki tried to remove Marinette's shock. After Marinette received Alya's call she was concerned that Marinette was auditioning for Ladybug but was assured that she was going as an extra. Proud of her wielder's decision Tikki kissed Marinette on the nose before heading towards the shoot.

When Clara picked Marinette to be Ladybug Tikki praised her for not giving into the temptation but becomes shocked when she does agree. In the dressing room Tikki was completely amazed at how much the costume looks like the real deal but received an apology from Marinette for giving into the temptation. After the shoot was cancelled Clara was akumatized into Frightningale then Tikki and Marinette transformed into Ladybug. Both heroes found it difficult to fight her until Ladybug and Cat Noir became affected too forcing them to sing and dance. By using a pair of handcuffs they were prevented from being turned into statues and with Cat Noir's Cataclysm they destroyed Frightningale's mike and saved the shoot.
