Talk:Ms. Mendeleiev's class/@comment-120883-20180528234744

Why this class consist mainly of palette swaps:

1. This class isn't focused on because Marinette and Adriend aren't in this class, and all our unique key characters are in Miss Bustier's class.

2. The homeroom teacher in question (Mendeleiev) is better known as Marinette/Adrien's science teacher.

3. The only time we see the entire class together is during class photo day (whatever they call it), where they are used as an exposition piece to move the plot along. And because characters in Miss Bustier's class are once again the main focus, the roster for this class is set up to 14 to correspond with the former. But to do this, the class is filled with three clones for each of the four background character types (short girl, medium height girl w/ long hair, medium height boy, and tall boy), giving us 12 students. But because the class is two students short, they just use the only other teens we've seen so far who had a purpose in previous episodes: Aurore and Mireille.

4. This is done because apparently, CGI is expensive to create, so they create enough blank-slate clones to fill up a student body, be at stake whenever an akuma attacks, or to witness Ladybug and Cat Noir being awesome.

In short, this class was entirely fabricated, so that the creators could cut corners. There is no foundation or writer's guideline for them to stay consistent or be further established as a class.
