Marinette Dupain-Cheng/History

Marinette Dupain-Cheng is a teenage girl who was chosen by Master Fu to wield the Ladybug Miraculous and become the superhero Ladybug. At first, she was reluctant to do the job, even going as far as to try to give her new friend, Alya, the miraculous, but she gradually grew into the role.

Before Season 1
Marinette attended Collège Françoise Dupont for two years previously and attended an unnamed elementary school a year before that, all while sharing the same class with Chloé Bourgeois.

Season 1
In "Ladybug & Cat Noir (Origins - Part 1)", on Marinette's first day of school in her last year of middle school, she woke up late. Worried about Chloé being in her class again for the fourth year in a row, she didn't want to go to school. Her mother reassured her that no one can be that unlucky and she would be fine. Marinette then lost what luck she had, spilling her breakfast and making a mess in the kitchen. When Marinette then left for school, she brought with her a box of macarons. As she waited at the crosswalk outside her home, she saw a man crossing the street and pulled him to safety, losing some of her macarons in the process and making her late to school.

Unsurprisingly, she was in the same class as Chloé once more, immediately being bullied by her to move seats. Alya saw this and helped Marinette, pulling her to sit next to her in class. Before Marinette could make it to her new seat, she tripped, spilling all but one macaron and splits it with Alya, the two becoming friends.

After the first class, Marinette and Alya were in the library when they saw the rock monster Stoneheart shouting for Kim. Alya rushed off, leaving Marinette behind. Marinette returned to her home, finding a small box in front of her computer. When she opened it, a flash of light entered the room and she met Tikki, a talking kwami. Tikki convinced Marinette to put on the Ladybug Miraculous and to transform into a superhero. Afraid, Marinette didn't want to be a hero, but with no way to remove the costume, she left her room, swinging her yo-yo and flew across Paris.

Still learning how to control the yo-yo, Marinette landed on Cat Noir while falling out of the sky. She followed him to fight Stoneheart, still afraid and nervous. In the Parc des Princes, Marinette hesitated before joining the fight, but accepted her role as Ladybug and helped Cat Noir take down Stoneheart with her Lucky Charm wet suit and turned him back into Ivan. She returned to her room before she detransformed however, she forgot to capture the akuma. This failure on her end resulted in the akuma multiplying and infecting innocent Parisian citizens. Her confidence plummeted and she rejected the Ladybug Miraculous out of guilt. She took them off, hiding them in her vanity until she could give them away.

In "Stoneheart (Origins - Part 2)", the next day, Marinette watched the news report about the Stonehearts, with her confidence gone. She took the Ladybug Miraculous to school to give to Alya, believing that she would make a better hero. At the same time, she kept Ivan from being akumatized at first by helping him build his confidence toward Mylène Haprèle. When she went to class, she saw Adrien poking at the gum on her seat and accused him of putting it there. She decided not to trust him, believing him to be the same as Chloé.

When Stoneheart busted down Miss Bustier's classroom's door and took Mylène and Chloé captive, Marinette tried giving Alya her bag with the Ladybug Miraculous so that she could run and hide, but Alya left it behind. Marinette chased after Alya and saw her nearly die when a car was thrown at her. With Cat Noir captured and Alya trapped, Marinette decided that she had to be Ladybug. She transformed, freed Alya, grabbed Cat Noir's staff, and chased after him. Freeing Cat Noir, they went after the original Stoneheart who was on the Eiffel Tower.

Ladybug caught Chloé when she was thrown off the Tower. She tried to stop the police from firing on Stoneheart, but Agent Roger reminded her that she failed, Ladybug agreed with him that it was her fault, but Cat Noir encouraged her to try again. When Hawk Moth told her to give up her Miraculous, she reminded him that he was the villain and that they would take him down and swung her yo-yo at his akuma-face and captured all of them. Then promised Paris that Ladybug and Cat Noir would keep them safe and ran up the side of the Eiffel Tower, deciding the only way to free Mylène was to bring her and Ivan closer together. She summoned her Lucky Charm and received a parachute. Using her yo-yo Ladybug made Mylène kiss Ivan, causing him to drop his akumatized object. She broke the object and changed Ivan back to normal. To save Mylène, she dove off the Tower, grabbed her, captured the akuma and set her on the ground with help from the parachute. Using Miraculous Ladybug, she freed the other Stonehearts and returned the city to normal.

The next day, she and Alya sat behind Nino and Adrien, until Chloé demanded her to move. After battling Stoneheart Marinette gained the confidence to stand up to her until she moved. By the end of the day she ignored Adrien but accepted his apology for the gum incident after class. It was then that she fell in love with his kindness. Marinette finds herself stammering to say goodbye and Tikki playfully teases her about her crush. After that using the umbrella he gave her, she went home.

In "The Bubbler", Marinette woke up excited for Adrien's birthday. She brought a present to school for him, but she couldn't give it to him. Instead, she and Alya dropped it off at Adrien's house and yet she forgot to sign the gift. Afterwards at lunch, Marinette's parents were captured in bubbles and sent skyward. She transformed into Ladybug and ran off to find Bubbler at the Agreste mansion. She used a Lucky Charm to break up the slow dance, but because she misused her Lucky Charm, she detransformed and had to find cookies for Tikki.

She snuck into the party and grabbed cookies, fully intent on transforming back, but Alya found her first, leading her to the present she left for Adrien. Marinette signed it and rushed to transform as soon as she was away from Alya then engaged Bubbler, giving the students time to scatter. Ladybug and Cat Noir fought against him, but they end up trapped in his bubble despite Ladybug defending the adults, the angry Bubbler sent them into the sky. After freed Cat Noir's Cataclysm she brought them down to safety. They returned to the Agreste mansion, but it was too late; the students were sent skyward.

Ladybug and Cat Noir chased Bubbler up to the Eiffel Tower. After summoning her Lucky Charm and receiving a wrench, she loosened an air vent, and grabbed Bubbler's bubble wand, and broke it. She captured the akuma and restored the city back to normal. The next day, Marinette saw Adrien wearing the scarf she made him. She didn't correct him when he believed it to be from his father.

In "Mr. Pigeon", Marinette entered a fashion design competition to create a derby hat. Adrien saw her designs and was excited with her work. She went to the Trocadéro for inspiration, which she gained from the pigeons there. She returned home to make the hat, but forgot the feather, forcing her to return to the Trocadéro. When she tried to go back home, the street was blocked by hundreds of pigeons. She transformed after she saw Mr. Pigeon and found Cat Noir. He acted as the bait to get Mr. Pigeon's attention and was carried away. When Ladybug followed, they were trapped in a cage until Cat Noir freed them with Cataclysm.

They ran inside the Le Grand Paris hotel. Ladybug noticed pigeons flocking in the same direction to the Grand Palais where she and Cat Noir found the abducted park keepers trapped inside. Ladybug planned on Cat Noir grabbing the bird call, but his allergies kicked in, leading to them to a brawl against Mr. Pigeon and his pigeon fists. Ladybug summoned her Lucky Charm using a coin she turned the pigeons against Mr. Pigeon. They smashed the bird call, Ladybug captured the akuma, and the city returned to normal. With less than an hour left till the end of the competition, Marinette completed her derby hat and proved it to be her own design, beating Chloé and winning the competition.

In "Stormy Weather", Marinette babysat Manon Chamack for Nadja Chamack. Alya convinced her to take Manon to the park so that she could watch Adrien's photoshoot. She tried to get Adrien's attention and somewhat succeeded but watched the photoshoot from the sidelines. Marinette bought Manon a balloon when she shouted at her and interrupted the shoot. When Manon led her away to the carousel, Alya stepped in and made Marinette join Adrien's photoshoot. Before she could join, Stormy Weather attacked and trapped Alya and Manon in ice. Marinette transformed into Ladybug regretting she shouldn't have left and tried to free them, but was unsuccessful. Ladybug ran off to find the akumatizied, helped Cat Noir to his feet (after he was blown away and landed on his face) they fought against Stormy Weather but the duo was blown away twice and had a bus thrown at them.

When Ladybug and Cat Noir freed themselves, they ran to the KIDZ+ studio. They broke down the door, but she wasn't there; it was a trap. Stormy Weather turned off the lights and ran to the rooftop. Due to the darkness Ladybug was led by Cat Noir to the rooftops. Once there, Ladybug summoned her Lucky Charm receiving a bath towel while Cat Noir defended them from the falling hail. She had him take down a billboard with his Cataclysm. As apart of the chain reaction Ladybug wrapped her yo-yo around Stormy Weather's ankle, preventing her from escaping. Then pulled her back to the ground and causing her to lose her umbrella. With a toss from Cat Noir she broke it, purified the akuma and returned the city to normal. Marinette returned to the park, intent on joining the photoshoot, but the photographer liked Manon better. In "Timebreaker", Marinette helped her parents prepare for their 20th wedding anniversary. She was left in charge of the bakery but went to the Trocadéro to watch Alix's and Kim's race. Alya gave her Alix's watch to hold on to, but since she was holding the banner, she wasn't paying enough attention and dropped it. Until Adrien caught the watch, but Chloé took it from him and dropped it, leading to it rolling onto the track, breaking, and Alix's akumatization. Marinette tried calming Alix down but she was stopped when her father called, wondering where she was.

She transformed into Ladybug and tried stopping Timebreaker, but the villain almost made her disappear forever until Cat Noir stepped in and protected her, taking the hit. When Timebreaker went to the past, Ladybug followed but startled Past Chloé causing her to drop the watch and was blamed by Past Alix for it. Future Ladybug explained to Past Marinette what was going on and sent Past Marinette on her way back to the bakery to give Nadja Chamack her cake.

Past Marinette transformed into Ladybug and joined the fight with her future self and Cat Noir. The Ladybugs summoned their Lucky Charms and came up with a plan to stop the Timebreakers while Cat Noir distracted them by using Cataclysm. Future Ladybug wrapped the Timebreakers' ankles together while Past Ladybug created a ramp that flung them in the air. The Ladybugs broke the rollerskates, releasing the akumas, cleanse the city, merging the two Ladybugs and Timebreakers. Marinette returned to the bakery and welcomed her parents home.

In "Copycat", Marinette brainstormed ideas with Tikki on how to ask out Adrien, but she couldn't speak with him without stuttering. Tikki suggested calling him; she called Alya over to her house to help her. Alya gave her a script to read and then called Adrien's phone. She improvised the message on Adrien's voicemail and then threw the phone on her chaise, not realizing she didn't hang up. She tried deleting the message but failed. Realizing he was still in fencing practice, Marinette went over to the school and stole his phone. Tikki discouraged this since she felt that Marinette should've gone to the statue ceremony first. They missed the whole ceremony and went to Marinette's room, trying to break into Adrien's phone.

Alya called Marinette, asking for an update on the message and letting her know that Cat Noir stole the Mona Lisa from the Louvre. Marinette transformed into Ladybug and hurried to the Louvre, but was stopped by police. From Cat Noir she discovers that the other Cat Noir was an impostor and tracked him to Théo's studio. She saw through Copycat's ruse and freed Cat Noir with Copycat's Cataclysm. Using a spoon, she and Cat Noir defeated Copycat and returned the city (and the Mona Lisa) to normal. Later that evening, Alya came over and helped her delete the message on Adrien's phone. The next day, she returned the phone, Nino invited Adrien to go see a movie later that night and Alya invited herself and Marinette along.

In "The Pharaoh", the previous week, Ladybug was hanging from a helicopter and dropped a Histoire textbook which was Marinette's own textbook. In order to get it back, she and Tikki convinced Alya to go to the Louvre and look at the King Tut exhibit under the guise that there was something about Ladybug there. Marinette tried convincing Alya that she wasn't Ladybug, but Alya wouldn't believe her until she brought her textbook with her to class. When they got to the King Tut exhibit, Jalil Kubdel bumped into Alya and Marinette who was in a hurry to present his findings to his father. Tikki pointed Marinette to an ancient papyrus to distract Alya. In fact, the papyrus was a scroll depicting a ritual to bring the dead back to life.

Marinette was having difficulty distracting Alya when the Pharaoh suddenly appeared. She escaped the Pharaoh's time-shifting bubbles, transformed into Ladybug and went to fight the Pharaoh but was immediately thrown to the side. Despite Cat Noir's help, he was thrown into a sarcophagus until she freed him, but they were still trapped in the exhibit. Until Cat Noir used his Cataclysm, but they had to part ways so he could charge up again. Watching Alya's livestream, she left to help her but ran into a time-shifting bubble but was freed by Cat Noir and went to save Alya from being sacrificed while he distracted the mummies. She freed her, but that didn't last long since the Pharaoh could fly then she was taken and put onto the beam of light up to the sky. After saving Cat Noir from the mummies, Ladybug sacrificed herself to keep Alya safe. Then, threw a fake pair of earrings at the Pharaoh and stole his necklace. After, Ladybug caught the akuma and returned the Louvre to normal. She went back inside the museum, took her textbook away from Alya, and told her where she was, saying she was turned into a mummy.

Back in her room, Marinette asked Tikki about the Ancient Egyptian Ladybug. Where Tikki explained that kwamis and superheroes have always existed and that she has watched over every Ladybug. She then reassured Marinette, she was an excellent Ladybug. Marinette went to sleep, prepared for her history test the next day.

In "Lady Wifi", Marinette and Tikki transformed into Ladybug and missed half of her classes due to an akuma attack. Afterwards they went home where Marinette spent the rest of the night working on her homework. When she receives a note from Alya about Ladybug's identity she wanted to speak with her, but never got the chance because the WiFi was out in the neighborhood. The next day, Marinette was an hour late to school because she fell asleep doing her homework. When she got there, she found out Alya was suspended for a week because believed Alya thought that Chloé was Ladybug. Her outbursts made Miss Bustier to send her to Mr. Damocles but when she got to his office, she found him frozen from Lady Wifi's powers. Determined to save her best friend, Marinette transformed into Ladybug and went to Le Grand Paris to stakeout Chloé's home and waited for Lady Wifi with Cat Noir.

When Lady Wifi appeared, they entered Chloé's room after Chloé was freed, the duo led Lady Wifi down to the basement to trap her. However, she caught on to what they were doing and set up a trap of her own in Le Grand Paris' restaurant. When Ladybug was separated from Cat Noir; Lady Wifi caught her. She tried taking off Ladybug's mask, it wouldn't budge. The hero tried to come to her rescue, but ended up trapped him in the freezer by the villainess and was released by Lady Wifi to free Cat Noir, but she was broadcasting the event to the entire city. Ladybug used her Lucky Charm to set him free, came up with a plan to defeat Lady Wifi, and then waited, hoping Cat Noir would be fast enough to stop her before she detransformed. When Cat Noir destroyed the WiFi antenna, she rushed to the roof to help him, defeating Lady Wifi and returning the city to normal. With only a minute left, Ladybug ran downstairs and detransformed in a closet. In her heart, she wanted to tell Cat Noir her identity, but in her mind, she knew it wasn't the right choice. The next day, Alya came over to Marinette's house to show her her new phone and some pictures of Adrien. Marinette teased her about Adrien's pictures and the two girls chased each other around Marinette's balcony.

In "The Evillustrator", Marinette found out about Nathaniel's crush on her when Nathaniel was embarrassed by Chloé. Marinette was partnered with Chloé and Sabrina for their particle physics project. They first met up by Chloé's locker. There, Marinette told Chloé and Sabrina that the relationship they had wasn't friendship and that the project was a group project, meaning Chloé had to put in an equal share of the work. They went to the library to work on the project, but that only led to Chloé bribing Sabrina with a beret. Before Sabrina could accept the bribe, Chloé was attacked by several berets and a hairdryer. Marinette ran away from the crowd and transformed into Ladybug with Cat Noir's help, the hairdryer was destroyed and the duo tried going after the villain, but he got away. So they went to the Le Grand Paris to investigate why the Evillustrator was after Chloé.

Tikki calmed her down and accidentally reminded her about the physics project and Sabrina. She was about to call her and started to get to work on the project until the Evillustrator entered her room. Instead of attacking her, he invited her to his birthday party on La Seine. That's when she figured out the Evillustrator was Nathaniel and accepted his invitation afterwards she was leaving her house when Sabrina arrived. When she completed Marinette's geography homework in a show of friendship, much to her surprise. She begrudgingly accepted, but told her that she couldn't work on the project that night, Sabrina became mad and compared her to Chloé. Then, Cat Noir arrived, introducing himself to her and told her to not worry about her date that night; all she had to do was take the Evillustrator's stylus. She managed to get the stylus away from the Evillustrator, but he got it back, then trapped her and Cat Noir in a cube on the sinking boat and left to attack Chloé.

Knowing that Jagged's style was different that's when Tikki advised Marinette to follow her instincts and starts to complain about being under pressure. That's when Tikki reminded her that they work under pressure on a daily basis saving the world and got back to designing however, after Marinette showed Jagged the cover she explained that it was his manager's idea. But was told by Jagged to follow her own style and gets further encouragement from Adrien who liked Jagged Stone; this time Marinette decides to follow Tikki's advice.

On there way to the contest Adrien spoke to Marinette's uncle in Chinese but to her surprise Wang Cheng could speak English.

At the hotel, Marinette apologized to Adrien for the inconvenience but he didn't mind it as he saw it as a great experience to practice with a master. When Marinette doubted that her uncle even liked her and mentioned the flowers Wang Cheng ripped apart, Adrien clarified that he liked Marinette and being an artist he was going to use the flowers in his dish in her honor making her happy. As the contest got underway Marinette was shocked to see that her uncle lost and suspected Chloé sabotaged the dish.

During the party the akumatized villain Despair Bear attacked after their quick escape Tikki reminded Marinette of the task at hand before transforming. Despite with Cat Noir's help, the villain's constant hopping around didn't make him easy to catch and soon Ladybug fought against a controlled Cat Noir but thanks to Chloé's help they were able to free the cat and stop the villain. Afterwards, Marinette and Adrien both agreed that Chloé would never fully change when Adrien commented that her baking was has good as her dancing she blushed. In "Riposte", Marinette was in the locker room looking for helmet and was complimented by Tikki that she looked good in fencing gear and yet was hesitant on not being able to make the team but Tikki assured her she'll do great. During the tryouts she was looking for Adrien who approached her while thanking her for the compliment. While being taught the rules of fencing by him a mysterious fencer walks in demanding to be enrolled seeing the mystery fencer's skills Marinette thought she was going to lose the spot on the team. As the duel between Adrien and the mysterious fencer was underway the battle was so fierce that Marinette was the only one to witness it.

When they turned to her to see who the victor was Marinette became so flustered and picked Adrien but wasn't completely sure herself on who won. She felt bad about making the decision but Tikki told her know that she had a chance to get on the team. Afterwards, she noticed an akuma and quickly transformed into Ladybug to catch it but it already akumatized the mysterious fencer into Riposte who was after Adrien. Upon confronting the villain Ladybug discovered that the weapon was merged with her hand and got into a duel with Riposte but was completely outmatched and almost skewered until she saved by Adrien. Briefly escaping Riposte, she knew it was hard for her to protect him and fight at the same time, made a call to Cat Noir but received no answer.

When the villain found them they tried to reason with her but it didn't work out and she battled her again on the rooftops. After trapping Riposte the two made their way to Louvre Museum and warned the people of an incoming akuma. Needing a safe place to hide Adrien she put him in the sarcophagus in the History Exhibit, and with Cat Noir they fought Riposte once more but during the duel she discovered something was wrong with her partner and ended up separated. Ending up back in the History exhibit, Ladybug looked on in horror as Adrien was finished but saw that he wasn't there and using a radiator along with Cat Noir they defeated Riposte. She led the mysterious fencer out of the museum and quickly found Adrien who hid somewhere else in the midst of talking about Cat Noir, Ladybug admits that he was better than her at fencing.

Just as her time was almost up Ladybug encouraged Adrien to make amends with the mysterious fencer whose name was Kagami. After detransforming as Marinette secretly watched the two and when she heard Adrien consider her a great friend which wasn't what she wanted. When Tikki said that Marinette may need to work on her fencing she engaged the kwami in a playful fencing match. In "Befana", some time prior Marinette noticed her friends were acting strange. Marinette was happy that today was her birthday she eagerly waited for a call from Alya. While she was distracted Tikki spoke of a gift for her and received a kwagatama. Marinette heard her kwami say that she didn't like the gift but wanted to spare her feelings but she apologized and told Tikki that she was waiting for Alya who was planning her surprise birthday party. Then, Marinette explained all the clues to Tikki and walked in to find her parents surprised at her arrival but when she heard a knock at the door Marinette was surprised to see her grandmother Gina Dupain.

Throughout the day Marinette spent time with grandmother doing the things when she was little, looking sadly at the candy her Gina gave her Tikki asked why she didn't tell her she didn't like it. Marinette says she wanted to spare her grandmother's feelings and soon received a call from Alya informing her grandmother about where she was going. At the party everyone wished Marinette a happy birthday but things went from bad to worse when her grandmother got akumatizied into Befana and attacked the celebration. Under fire she tried to run but was cornered and saw Alya and Kim get turned into coal statues while trying to protect her, she tried to transform but was interrupted by Cat Noir and they escaped. On their way to the Eiffel Tower, she was commented by the cat that she must be a lucky girl to have so many friends protect her and was asked why her grandmother was freaking out Marinette says she wanted to spend more time with her. Arriving at the tower she was assured by the cat he would get her grandmother back safe and wished a happy birthday finally alone Marinette transformed into Ladybug.

Met up with Cat Noir finishing his song they fought against Befana's angels; Ladybug was informed by him that they had to prevent Befana from heading to the tower. When she knew why the heroine almost reveal the truth but stopped herself as the fight continued they noticed that Befana couldn't touch her own candies realizing where the akuma was. Ladybug summoned her Lucky Charm and received a tuba but soon they were surrounded needing to separate Befana from her minions Ladybug pretended to surrender once separated she took care of the angels. Using a tuba and a Cataclysm on a fire hydrant the duo saved Marinette's grandmother. Back at the party Marinette loved the gift Adrien gave her, although Tikki found it strange when Marinette said the same thing about hers causing Tikki to become irritated. But revealed to her as a necklace she cherished her gift too explaining what matters wasn't the gift but the person who gave it.

In "Robostus", Marinette was at school and forgot her bag going back to the Locker Room to get it. Then, with Tikki she noticed Max who was talking to his best friend in his bag which was strange. When the computer system crashed she was amazed that Max's friend was actually a robot named Markov. Upon hearing Max's concern about Markov and seeing the robot's akumatization, they both quickly understood why he was worried and transformed into Ladybug. Meeting up with Cat Noir the duo tried to reason with Robostus, but they were tossed out of the school and fought Robostus's army throughout the city leading to the stadium. During their fight Ladybug and Cat Noir got captured and almost had their miraculouses taken by Robosus who wanted to make a wish to become human. Which they found strange because it was always Hawk Moth who wanted their jewels. But thanks to Max's intervention, a Cataclysm used on Robostus's robot and a harp the heroes were able to stop the villain. But seeing Max's hesitation Ladybug convinced him to forgive Markov

Afterwards, Marinette and Tikki went to Master Fu's shop, from him she learned with the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses are combined the wearer can invoke the ultimate power. Amazed she wondered why they couldn't use that power to do many good things and yet she was warned by Master Fu of the consequences of that power if Ladybug and Cat Noir ever lost their magic jewels. She vowed to him that they won't. In "Dark Owl", during most of the week as Ladybug, Marinette had to save The Owl who was actually Mr. Damocles trying to be his own hero. As Marinette went home from school she was invited to a sleepover at Alya's but had to cancel to help her parents at the bakery. After saving The Owl for the fifth time Ladybug and Cat Noir tried to dissuade him from these danger acts but fell it on deaf ears. After dealing with the news reporters she and Cat Noir talked on the rooftops understanding that Mr. Damocles had a good heart but knew it would end badly. Rather than shattering the principal's dreams Ladybug thought of making his dream come true. Throughout the night Marinette prepared the costume and a pair of fake Miraculous.

After Marinette finished school the next day she told Alya she was still busy but was free tomorrow and transformed into Ladybug and went with Cat Noir to Alya's house to ask for a favor. Once they staged everything for The Owl, things took a disastrous turn which caused The Owl's identity to be revealed. By nightfall, Marinette was sewing until she was shocked that their little plan caused Mr. Damocles' akumatization and that Dark Owl planned to harm innocent animals. After transforming into Ladybug again; the heroes arrived the stadium needing time to find the akuma she had Cat Noir distract him while they stayed in contact. In an effort to take the detonator Ladybug and Dark Owl had a brief fight and she was tossed into the stadium. Ready for another fight and needing to hurry using her Lucky Charm she received a fountain pen but were tricked into a trap.

After falling into the crate they both discovered that the plot was fake just to lure them but used the ink in the pen to cover the screen. To fool Dark Owl, Ladybug pretended that she and Cat Noir would surrender telling her partner that they were going to detransform but have their eyes closed. Inside the crate Marinette felt around for Cat Noir's ring but instead of taking it she closed his hand and gave the villains the fake Miraculous and once their kwami's recharged the heroes retransformed. After another fight with Dark Owl and summoning another Lucky Charm from a comic book the heroes discovered that the akumatized object wasn't on Dark Owl but back at the school. Once there Ladybug was restrained by the villain but not before setting off the chain reaction with a comic book and yet had one of her earrings forced off and slowly transformed back. Thanks to the chain reaction she was able to retrieve it and purified the akuma.

Seeing The Owl become a hero on a smaller scale, Ladybug and Cat Noir had more free time after politely turning down the Cat's offer for a movie. She detransformed and went to Alya's house to play videogames while Alya told Marinette about her adventure with her favorite heroes. She won the game Alya claimed she cheated and got tickled by her as they laughed. In "Gigantitan", Marinette had her friends come over to help execute a dating plan for a special someone but was hesitant on revealing the name. When she told them that it was Adrien, she was shocked they already knew but was thankful for their support, during an attempt to plan it. Marinette came across a struggling mother and decided to help her afterwards, she saw Adrien's bodyguard coming back.

But soon a baby boy named August was akumatized into Gigantitan knowing that the romantic outing was on hold Marinette transformed into Ladybug. Meeting up with Cat Noir, she figured out that the akuma was in Gigantitan's bracelet but found it hard to get to with the villain's constant distractions and complicated plans. After using gift wrapping disguised as a treat the duo was finally able to get the bracelet, returned August back to normal and reunite August with his mother. Afterwards, she detransformed, found her friends and dediced to ask Adrien upfront if they could hang out but her scrambled message led her to turning down Adrien's offer and took a rickshaw ride home with her friends. In "Glaciator", Marinette transformed into Ladybug along with Cat Noir they saved people from a runaway bus as they let people off she was asked by Cat Noir about having a dinner date with him but even though she was touch Ladybug spoke of other plans. Returning home Marinette was having dinner with her parents afterwards she spoke of going André's for ice cream with her friends. When they easily figured that out they asked her who lucky the lucky guy which left Marinette to leave in a huff. Then, met up with Alya and her friends at André's ice cream stand when but was disappointed that Adrien wasn't coming. But Marinette was encouraged by Tikki that she could still have fun and was asked if she could have some ice cream too.

She was called out by André about being in love with someone and was offered a cone but denied it. After Marinette dropped her it confusing Adrien with someone else she became so depressed that she believed that André's ice cream wasn't special and walked away. Later that night, Marinette was disappointed in herself for her attitude towards André but was comforted by Tikki telling her that she just had a bad night and will have another chance. Wanting some time alone, Marinette went up to her balcony and was approached by Cat Noir surprised to see him, she asked if he had hero stuff to do but he didn't. Seeing he didn't want to be alone she welcomed his company through their conversation the two had common ground about love problems. That was when Marinette discovered that Cat Noir's feelings for her alter ego were real and was curious on what the cat's surprise was; once there Marinette was amazed at the surprise but seeing Cat Noir sad she tried to cheer him up but was soon attacked by Glaciator. She discovered that the villain was André and escorted back home before Cat Noir left she thanked him for cheering her up.

After she returned, seeing a new side of Cat Noir; Marinette thought she was wrong about him before transforming into Ladybug. Meeting with an angry Cat Noir, she received a cold shoulder from him about missing their date, while fighting the villain they discovered that Glaciator did not attack couples. After apologizing the heroes pretended to be a couple to get close enough to him to see that André was inside the monster. Using her Lucky Charm she received a helmet and with a motorcycle and a makeshift propeller they were able to save Paris from being buried in a mountain of ice cream. Arriving at the date spot, Ladybug was amazed but not wanting to lie to her best friend, she admitted she was in love with another guy but refused to say anything else knowing their personal lives must be kept secret. She expected Cat Noir to be angry but he respected her honesty and was given a kiss and rose by him which left her blushing. The next day, Marinette arrived at André's ice cream stand and when asked by André if his ice cream had the magic touch she told him to have a good day and shared some with Tikki. In "Sapotis", Marinette went over to Alya's house for a sleepover where she was talking to Alya's mother about how the twins were almost ready for bed. After placing them in bed she commented on her friend's ability to deal with them. And yet when Marinette heard that Alya was getting closer to searching for Ladybug's identity she tried to dissuade Alya by reminding her the importance of why a hero's identity must be secret. After Etta and Ella got grounded the girls discovered they got akumatized into the Sapotis causing a ruckus in the house where Marinette mentioned that she might have been too strict with them. Observing them she discovered they multiply every time they eat; noticing an opened window Marinette failed to catch them and the little monsters escaped into the city.

Seeing the Sapotis' destruction Marinette transformed into Ladybug, meeting Cat Noir they managed to find one of the clones and destroy the hat. Curious he asked how did she know and answered it was through trial and error but due that one being a clone there wasn't an akuma. Realizing what they had to do the heroes went through many clones but didn't find the right one. Going through many more they discovered that there were too many Sapotis' for them to handle, surrounded Ladybug summoned her Lucky Charm and received a teapot. But didn't see how to use it until Cat Noir reminded her of someone that was when she understood that the team needed help. After getting Cat Noir to trust her she destransformed and went to Master Fu's shop explaining the situation. Understanding the Guardian, Marinette was allowed to take another Miraculous and choose a temporary ally to help them and took the Fox Miraculous and knew of the perfect person for the job.

Transforming back into Ladybug she found Alya trying to reason with some of them to no avail and destroyed the clones. Understanding Alya's desire to help find her sisters Ladybug presented her with the Fox Miraculous under the permission that the jewel has to returned when the mission is over. Upon seeing Alya transformed when she commented that she looked like Lila, Ladybug said she was the superhero version and left to find Cat Noir. After saving him, she introduced the cat to their new ally but was unsure what to call her until Alya called herself Rena Rouge. However, their peaceful moment was ruined when the trio was surrounded, retreating to higher ground Ladybug summoned another Lucky Charm receiving a unicycle. Once she gathered the necessary items, while riding a rickshaw Ladybug started leading the Sapotis to "Sapotis Land" getting them into a narrow space she told Cat Noir to implement the next stage of the plan. In doing so, all the hats were collected, destroyed, the little monsters disappeared and then she used her Miraculous Ladybug (superpower) to repair the city.

She held Rena Rogue back from saying one of the twins' names and would follow her shortly but asked Cat Noir to take the twins back home. Once Alya detransformed, Ladybug thanked Alya for her help but saw that she was hesitant on returning the jewel. But she reminded her of her promise and yet upon knowing her time was almost up she trusted Alya and went inside a building to destransform. At first, Marinette was saddened that Alya wouldn't return the jewel but upon her opening the door and leaving it she was glad was her best friend made the right choice. After returning the Fox Miraculous to Master Wang; she was relieved that she was alright and enjoyed the rest of the sleepover.

In "Gorizilla", Marinette was swooning over Adrien's new ad while eating and continued to swoon until she was alerted by a cellphone call from Alya asking were she was. In her haste Marinette was still in her pajamas until it was pointed out by Tikki and rushed back home to change but bumped into Adrien instead. Who asked if he could hide at her place and surprised she asked why but got an answer when Marinette saw Adrien's fan mob. Hiding in the park fountain Marinette was thanked for the save and informed Adrien she found out about his ad but he retorted saying that it was embarrassing just as she was still in her pajamas. Seeing that Adrien was safe Marinette tried to leave but was pulled back into hiding upon seeing Adrien's bodyguard where he explained he snuck out of his house without permission.

After being spotted again they made it to the train station and she heard Adrien's apology where Marinette had mixed feelings of being Adrien's girlfriend but switched the subject by asking him if everything was going to be okay between him and his father. He told her everything would be fine with his lucky charm (the bracelet she gave him) but their moment was ruined by another fan mob they tried to run but ended up surrounded until Marinette was pushed into a subway car by Adrien heading towards another station. Wearing disguises she commented Adrien for the idea of hiding in the movie theater until she was informed this was where he was going. Where she also found out that the theater was showing a movie where Adrien's mother starred the leading role. But just as Adrien took off his helmet the two friends were swarmed by Adrien's fan mob again

Until Gorizilla bursts through the ceiling and kidnapped Adrien seeing her friend in danger 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 she saw 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. Caught in the moment Ladybug was almost shocked when Adrien called her his lady. With her 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 she detransformed and went home, Marinette was ecstatic that she had the best day ever with Adrien but seeing her condition she switched it to the worst the day of her life. Until she received another call from Alya and their friends begging for more details and heard they're still at the pool.

In "Captain Hardrock", Marinette and her were at Juleka's mother's houseboat to help Juleka's mother Anarka Couffaine prepare for the musical festival. In the midst of the preparations she was informed by Alya that Adrien wasn't coming she was disappointed referring to them like a compass and statue. Until hearing Alya refer it the other way around and sent by Anarka to her son Luka finding him in his room the two become friends. Testing out the equipment, Alya said that Marinette had found a new statue she quickly denied saying that Adrien was only one who drove her compass crazy as Luka played his guitar she was shocked at the sonic boom that was produced alerting the police.

Upon their arrival, Marinette proposed a compromise but Anarka refused which led her to be akumatized into Captain Hardrock. Then, she and Luka tried to reason with her but she and everyone became prisoners below the ship. Eyeing Tikki in her bag and once the coast was clear she gave her the ok sign to phase through the chain setting her and Luka free while Marinette claimed she picked the lock with a guitar pick. 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. When Cat Noir, attempted to used Cataclysm to destroy the ship she restrained him to tell him that there were prisoners below deck. While the cat fought against the captain Ladybug attempting to free the prisoners and informed them that Marinette was the one who called her. When Luka called her alter ego very brave the heroine blushed at the compliment until reminded at the task at hand summoning her Lucky Charm she received a metal chain.

Rejoining Cat Noir, Ladybug told him she couldn't free prisoners or figure out how to use her Lucky Charm. Along with the cat they used it to tie the captain around the compass leading the ship to ran aground leading to her defeat. Using the Miraculous Ladybug, the heroine restored the ship and purified the akuma; before the festival began Marinette was glad that Adrien made it but tried to warn him about the stuff on the ground but it was too late. After Adrien had join the band she was asked by Alya if her compass was going crazy but enjoyed 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. Tikki tried to keep her calm to no avail, things went from bad to worse when Penny was akuamtized into Troublemaker. Seeing that 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", Marinette tried to do the moves while watching Clara's Nightningale's new video 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 she was so surprised she fainted. After Marinette received Alya's call Tikki was concerned that Marinette was auditioning for Ladybug but was assured by Marinette that she was going as an extra. Proud of her wielder's decision Tikki kissed her on the nose before heading towards the shoot.

She was completely in awe at the sight of her favorite musician and more so that Adrien posed as Cat Noir. As Marinette saw Clara coming in their direction she was shocked that Clara tripped and decided to help her up. But was surprised that she picked her to be Ladybug and yet turned down the offer, was praised by Tikki and admired by her friends. Seeing Chloé dress up as her alter ego angered Marinette to the point where she agrees to the offer. In the dressing room as Tikki was amazed at how much the costume looks like the real deal, Marinette apologized to her for giving into the temptation but hid her mask. During their rehearsal she and Adrien had trouble synchronizing their movements and when Clara mentioned of their masks, she nervously said that she couldn't find it but after they were found she slowly started to put it on until Chloé arrived and cancelled the performance.

After the shoot was cancelled Clara was akumatized into Frightningale then Marinette and Tikki transformed into Ladybug. Both heroes found it difficult to fight her until she 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. After Clara was deakumatized Ladybug proposed a way for her to finished the video without any interruptions. Watching the finished video in the school's library Marinette agreed with her friends that she loved this version a lot better and when Adrien commented that she was funnier than her alter ego. She commented that he was nothing like Cat Noir leading to everyone sharing a laugh.

In "Zombizou", Marinette ran into the school's locker room and met up with her friends who were all preparing their gifts for Miss Bustier's birthday. Marinette showed that she made a little purse for her written with the first lesson she learned from her. But when they all found out Chloé hadn't prepared a gift she called her heartless and went to her classes with her friends. Once attending Miss Bustier's class, Marinette smiled that her gift was going to be the first one her teacher opened but it turned into shock and anger when she saw that her gift was ruined. And knew immediately that it was Chloé who did it however, when she saw her teacher unfazed by this Marinette became angry that she was getting punished and Chloé wasn't.

But her anger didn't go unnoticed by Hawk Moth, who sent an akuma to her. From Miss Bustier she learned wasn't being punished and yet praised by her to set a good example. Noticing the akuma, Marinette was shielded by her refusing to let it akumatize her. However, when her teacher tried to resist Hawk Moth's influence Marinette encouraged her to stay positive, seeing her on the verge of being akumatized. Escaping to Locker Room, she refused to let Hawk Moth get away with this and transformed into Ladybug. After meeting the villain, Ladybug distracted her long enough for everyone to escape and soon was attacked by her minions. Tying them up she searched the school for survivors, locating the missing students in the Locker Room. Knowing their location wasn't safe they all moved to roof; joined by Cat Noir they heard from the news that Zombizou was after Chloé. She stopped the remaining students from giving into the villain's demands saying she needs her for their plan. So the heroes decided to take Chloé to the tower but along the way they lost most of their friends.

Shortly after arriving at the tower, Alya became infected too but was instructed by her to save them all. Sadly, leaving her the heroine wanted Nino to come along but when he refused she became upset that all of her friends were sacrificed to get this far. Making it to the top, the heroes were cornered by Zombizou's minions after securing Chloé she went back to check on Cat Noir finding him she was told to leave as she was the only one who could fix this. Back inside the office she found Chloé who wished her luck as the villainess and her minions closed in, summoning her Lucky Charm Ladybug received makeup remover. Soon had to deal with a zombified Cat Noir and heard Chloé apologize for the trouble she caused. As the hero closed in the heroine was saved by Chloé, using the makeup remover Ladybug was able defeat Zombizou and cleansed the city. After everything returned to normal she comforted Miss Bustier saying that Hawk Moth was to blame and yet saw Chloé step up admitting her mistake.

During school the next day, Marinette took back her earlier remark about Chloé being heartless. Informed Alya that Chloé can be nice as long as they keep setting the example as their class started.

In "Syren", once all the animals were contained, Ladybug heard Cat Noir voice his frustrations about her keeping secrets from him and said she would talk to him about it leaving with Rena. Retrieving the Fox Miraculous she thanked Alya for the help and saw her run off; transforming Marinette was told by Tikki if she wanted to catch the movie she should've headed in Alya's direction. After the Fox Miraculous had been returned, she voiced concerns to Master Wang about leaving her partner in the dark and became intrigued that he was working on a recipe about modifying a kwamis' powers. After the first attempt was a failure, Marinette realized she was late to the cinema. However, the movie was cut short due to Syren's flooding, escaping to the roof and she saw Kim get captured by villain separating themselves from the others they transformed into Ladybug.

And yet, Ladybug found it extremely difficult to fight Syren underwater. Then, she was caught by Cat Noir who informed her that cats weren't fond of water either. Once she summoned her Lucky Charm and received a potion bowl she understood to seek out Master Wang Fu but was still skeptical on saying anything about him to Cat Noir saying it wasn't easy for her either. Detransforming Marinette him still trying to figure out the right ingredient and she assured Master Wang they would and suggested using real tear of joy. To do so, she told him many jokes causing him to tear up in laughter. Upon completing the potion Tikki transformed into "Aqua Tikki" and they retransformed now on a level playing field, she informed the master it was time to put "the noodles in the boiling water". Ladybug was joined by Cat Noir using a set of car keys were able to beat Syren, saved Kim and Paris from being a swimming pool as well as being thanked by the cat for keeping her promise.

Shortly after Syren's defeat, Marinette was given the vials that contained all the remaining power ups. But had concerns on keeping them hidden when informed that they could be contained in anything. Having an idea she baked them into macaroons which Tikki loved calling them "Magicroons". Seeing her greatly admired the blue one, Marinette said hinting it's pretty icy.

In "Reverser", she finds Marc hiding under the stairs and asked him to join their Art Club. But when he leaves out of nervousness Marinette saw that Marc dropped his book. After Marinette and Tikki read the Diary of Ladybug book they were both amazed by the boy's story and knew he and Nathaniel would work well together. Upon returning the book she gives Marc the idea of writing a comic book with Nathaniel by showing Marc's book to him. But not wanting to reveal his identity Marinette erases the name and gives it to Nathaniel saying that someone special wrote while they were watching the two were discovered by Adrien. Marinette nervously says that they were working on a surprise for him instead. However during Operation Comic Book as they watched from her balcony the plan took a turn for the worst when Marc was akumatized into Reverser.

After evading Reverser's arrows they transform into Ladybug but in the middle of their confrontation the heroine got struck by an arrow causing her to become very clumsy. Even with Cat Noir arriving the hero becomes a scaredy cat because of Reverser causing them to fall into the river. Pulling themselves to shore they knew the villain was after Nathaniel and Ladybug had an idea where to look but Cat Noir was too scared to move encouraging her partner to come along they realized they weren't going anywhere. Taking a cab to the school they saw that Reverser had beaten them there but discovered where he is by eyeing his drawings and found him along with Alix at the Louvre Museum.

After showing them the feed on the news she asked for his help and when Alix wanted to come to Ladybug said no but was quickly reminded of her and Cat Noir's conditions and accepted Alix's help. Arriving at the Eiffel Tower the group saw the trash entering the atmosphere, she quickly comforted her partner knowing they were in it together. Summoning her Lucky Charm she received a bamboo roll, making a makeshift kite with Cat Noir tied to it and Alix doing the stirring they were able to save Marc. After being returned by to normal by the Miraculous Ladybug (superpower), Ladybug had Marc and Nathaniel make up.

Then, the next day, she was given the boy's first comic book as a way to thank her as Marc and Nathaniel believed Marinette would make a great hero if she wasn't a klutz causing her to laugh with everyone.

In "Anansi", Tikki went with Marinette and her friends to watch the FIFA World Cup fireworks while on the ferris wheel. Until the trio was attacked by Nora who was akumatized into Anansi realizing her mistake and needing to save Marinette's friends she and Marinette transformed into Ladybug. Even with Cat Noir's help, Anansi was too strong to fight alone. After a lucky charm a candle was summoned Ladybug sought out Master Fu for help while Nino held off the villain.

Arriving at Master Fu's shop, Tikki and Marinette detransformed and explained the situation to the master. While Marinette chose the Turtle Miraculous the kwami finished eating a macaroon and retransformed. Giving the Turtle Miraculous, Nino and with the help of their new ally Carapace and his power of protection the heroes were able to stop Anansi and save Alya.

In "Sandboy", Marinette noticed that Tikki was being really quiet and asked what's wrong. Tikki explained that today was Nooroo's birthday and he was all alone. But Marinette assured her that they would free him one day making it a promise when the kwami spoke of a faster way. Marinette was informed that kwamis are able to speak with their kind on their birthday or cycle however if the chance was missed they would have to wait a really long time for the next one. However, when Tikki mentioned that the opportunity was tonight Marinette was surprised that she wasn't told sooner. Because they knew that kwamis weren't allowed to leave their wielder's side in case of danger.

And yet, she listened to Plagg's plan that Tikki and Plagg would go join with the other kwamis while Wayzz kept lookout. Agreeing Marinette gave Tikki the permission to leave and was hugged by her promising not to disappoint her and left through the window with a marker while she slept. Soon Marinette was woken up by a noise and though Tikki was back but horrified to be living her worst nightmare of Adrien raving on about loving Chloé. Escaping to her balcony she that an akumatized villain named Sandboy was turning Paris into a living nightmare. Needing to find Tikki she made her way to Master Fu's shop and tried to contact her kwami to no avail.

Upon waking up Master Fu, she saw the guardian live his nightmare and was told to transform but couldn't. And was informed by Tikki that the plan didn't work, afterwards they transformed to find Sandboy. Despite her best efforts with Cat Noir, she was hit with the villain's sand causing Ladybug to live her nightmare being powerless. While being protected by Cat Noir she found that he didn't have the same fear she did but instead saw an evil version of herself out to get him. But with some quick thinking Sandboy was defeated and she asked the young boy what happened explaining he had nightmare from scary movie and was akumatized by Hawk Moth.

Before returning the boy home she asked Cat Noir about his nightmare and was relieved he didn't think she was evil calling her the girl of his dreams. She returned to Master Fu taking responsibility for what happened along with Tikki and Wayzz. Tikki also apologized to her for failing but Marinette comforted her understanding that she had good intentions and will always have her trust as they embraced each other.

In "Style Queen (Queen's Battle - Part 1)", it was time for Fashion Week and Marinette was adding the final touches to her hat but was incredibly nervous about it. But she was told by Tikki it was a good choice to change the feather with Adrien's allergy. Realizing that they were late they rushed off to the show, but Marinette stopped and freaked out because Audrey Bourgeois came to the event. Hearing her set the new fashion trend with glitter Marinette tried to leave but was prevented by Nathalie making her way into to the show she dropped the hat and hastily leaves with it. Making it to Adrien's dressing room, she told him not to wear it but was encouraged by Adrien to be proud of it. Despite that the show went well until Audrey was akumatized into Style Queen and turned Adrien into a glitter statue leaving Marinette horrified. Afterwards she and Tikki transformed into Ladybug, she tries to fight Style Queen off but barely avoids getting turned into a glitter statue thanks to Chloé and followed the villain to the Eiffel Tower.

She desperately tried to call Cat Noir but he was no where to be found, then used her Lucky Charm and received a mallet. Understanding it's purpose she left after she detransformed, Marinette sought Master Fu for help and from him they found out that her partner lost his ring. Then, she meets Plagg to whom she knows that he's Cat Noir's kwami and offered to help but heard from Master Fu that he was too dangerous without an owner. Same as before Marinette took the Bee Miraculous and re-transform. Returning to the tower, she spotted Alya and offered her the jewel but due to Style Queen's intervention she lost it.

Despite putting up a fight with a glued flag Ladybug was back into a corner until Plagg arrived when he used Cataclysm on the tower, she saw the reason why he wasn't allowed out but it bought her enough time to stop Style Queen and save Adrien. When Ladybug concerns for her partner Plagg assured her he'd be back next time, giving Adrien a ride back at the Fashion Show she was thanked by him and de-transformed. Then, Marinette was reminded that she had to return the Bee Miraculous to Master Fu, but when she thought the magic ladybugs brought it back Tikki said they didn't. Realizing the Bee Miraculous was missing Marinette tried to go back to get it but was stopped by her parents. She was assured her they would go back for it after the show.

In "Queen Wasp (Queen's Battle - Part 2)", after the events of "Style Queen" Marinette continued watching the fashion show nervously waving a comment to Alya's blog and being shocked at Gabriel's sudden appearance. Afterwards when Audrey knew that the hat Adrien was wearing wasn't a Gabriel design, that's when Marinette stood proud for her design admitting it was hers. She was surprised that Audrey liked it and also gave her the opportunity to come to New York, however Marinette saw that Chloé was unhappy and got disregarded by her mother even more so that she had Bee Miraculous. Transforming in broad daylight trying to prove herself better.

Meanwhile taking a subway train home Marinette asked Tikki about what to do about Audrey's offer seeing that all her dreams could come true. Tikki retorted asking who would protect Paris from Hawk Moth if Marinette left, when she spoke of Cat Noir and their allies. Tikki also reminded her that only a Ladybug can purify akumas, soon figuring out what to do about Audrey's offer would have to wait when Chloé caused a speeding train as Queen Bee. Knowing that Chloé couldn't pull it off on her own and having to retrieve the Bee Miraculous, Marinette transformed into Ladybug. After stopping the speeding train with Cat Noir, she chewed Queen Bee out for her recklessness and demanded her jewel back. When Chloé refused, Cat Noir easily figured out what happened, not wanting anyone else to hear Ladybug pulled her partner away from the cameras reminding him of the events of "Style Queen". Seeing her rival take her leave the heroes followed her to retrieve the lost Miraculous but it wasn't going to be easy. Entering the hotel, Ladybug and Cat Noir found everyone paralyzed and quickly discovered that Chloé was akumatized into Queen Wasp while wearing the jewel.

Knowing where the akuma was she suggested using Cat Noir's Cataclysm to destroy the jewel but they had to get to it without getting stung. By avoiding the swarm underwater and having Chloé come to an understanding the Bee Miraculous was restored and retrieved. Afterwards, Marinette came to talk with Chloé she was asked by Tikki if she was sure of her choice which she confirmed. Knocking on her rival's bedroom door, Marinette heard her response and refused to leave. Approaching Audrey, Marinette says that she declines her offer by saying that there's so much of her life in Paris, the Fashion Queen retorted saying that she was making a mistake. However, she answers back by saying the same thing and reveals Chloe behind her seeing her rival still hesitant she pushed her on. Adding on to their conversation Marinette points that Chloe is exceptional like her mother and returns home.

In "Malediktator", Marinette was watching Chloé's documentary about her adventure as Queen Bee but wasn't impressed and agreed with everyone else that she didn't deserve to be called a hero then watched Chloé storm off. Afterwards, Marinette and her friends heard a helicopter above the school to see Chloé aboard and leave for New York. Then, Marinette's shocked turned into joy and because less people would be akumatized. Soon she was approached by Adrien asking what the party was about and explained that Chloé left fort New York and asked if he was glad. But when Adrien said he wasn't Marinette asked why, that's when she heard that Chloé was his only friend growing up and couldn't celebrate her unhappy departure. Upon hearing that she apologized to him.

Seeing Adrien unhappy Marinette began to wonder if there was more to Chloé than she originally thought. But the party was halted when Malediktator appeared, quickly hiding Marinette and Tikki knew that Chloé akumatized one last victim before she left and Marinette believed that she was partly to blame but transformed into Ladybug. Even with Cat Noir's help through an abacus the heroine knew they needed more and told her partner to wait but was horrified that Cat Noir was defenseless. At first, she wanted save to him but found out he still had claws and sought out Master Fu. Once at his shop, she explained the situation understanding Marinette was allowed to pick an ally taking the Bee Miraculous again but was doubtful and was advised by Tikki trust her instincts. Knowing of the events of "Queen Wasp", Master Wang expressed doubt but Marinette was assured on knowing how to use it. Afterwards, in looking for Chloé, she saw that Malediktator had struck her parents too and through Chloé's presentation they knew where her lair was and retransformed.

Upon finding her at the hotel, Ladybug was fine with helping Chloé but needed to know why her father was so angry. Keeping a cool head, she calmly told her that maybe Marinette wasn't totally to blame but upon seeing her rival's hesitation she gently reminded Chloé that she could tell her anything. Ladybug heard Chloé admit that she hurt father's feelings because she threatened to leave Paris forever because she served no purpose. Sympathetic towards her Ladybug says that everyone serves a purpose and gave Chloé the chance to fix her mistake if she wanted too agreeing the heroine gave her the Bee Miraculous again. Heading over the rooftops to find Malediktator, she says that they had to work together and pulled Queen Bee away from colliding with a chimney.

After finding Malediktator, she tried to tell Queen Bee the plan but thanks to her blowing their cover they were in an instant fight with Malediktator but found it tough to penetrate through his security guard shield even more so while avoiding the villain's declaration bubbles. Summoning her Lucky Charm again, Ladybug received a big machine gun and laser pointer but knowing she'd only needed the laser pointer she threw the rest of it away assuring Queen Bee of her plan. After advising her to take "the sting out", with the laser pointer Ladybug had Cat Noir take out the security guards with Malediktator defenseless and paralyzed Ladybug purified the akuma and returned everyone to normal.

In "Frozer", after helping a delivery man on a runaway hanglider. Tikki and Marinette went off to school and after talking with Adrien, Marinette was left awestruck asking Tikki what happened but even she wasn't so sure. While at the ice rink with Adrien, Kagami and Luka she was talking with Marinette in the bathroom asking why she looked sad. Marinette explained that Luka was great but wasn't sure if things were going to be same with Adrien. But that was put on hold when the whole ice ring was getting covered in ice, knowing there was another akumatized villain on loose after eating the ice potion Tikki transformed into "Stalac Tikki".

Tikki gently reminded her that her powers as Ladybug weren't meant for personal gain, however after shortly arriving at the school. The two notice the school being attacked by a swarm of red akumas and transformed after dealing with Vanisher they detransformed and went to Master Fu's shop.

After receiving encouragement from Cat Noir, being found by the army Marinette and Tikki retransformed into their Aqua Mode. Resurfacing Ladybug released a swarm of white butterflies to give the people hope and this time with the Paris rebellion's help. On their way to the Eiffel tower she and Cat Noir saw the reason why to keep hope alive the duo managed to corner Hawk Moth. Summoning her Lucky Charm again she received a miraculous box. At first, she believed it was a sign of Hawk Moth's defeat, after hearing his plan about making a wish their jewels Ladybug reminds him with every wish there's a price to pay and wanted to know his wish first.

Closing in on Scarlett Moth, being sympathetic she tells him that it's not too late for him to change and do good with them.

When Tikki saw Marinette freaking out about kissing Cat Noir and wondering how that happened, she replied who knows believing Marinette still has things to learn about him.

In "Silencer", after Luka was akumatized into Silencer because Bob Roth stole everything from the Kitty Section band and threatened Marinette. Tikki heard of Luka's confession to her wielder, in the bathroom she began to suspect that those were his true feelings for Marinette. Nonetheless, Tikki and Marinette transformed into Ladybug but the first confrontation led to the heroine being muted by the villain. With Cat Noir's help and a fake Lucky Charm the duo tricked Silencer into activating the real one; with a vacuum cleaner and Cat Noir destroying Silencer's helmet with Cataclysm they deakumatized Luka. As well as got Bob to admit that he stole everything from Kitty Section on live television. After Bob tried to save face by letting the band perform but before they do Luka admitted the same love confession to Marinette when he was akumatized. When he finished Tikki admitted it was the most beautiful love confession she has heard in her whole life.}}
