Talk:Cat Noir as seen by Marinette/@comment-31422538-20170824232946/@comment-7117024-20170825013703

Both Adrien and Cat Noir exist, but they are different facets of Adrien, just as Ladybug is another facet of Marinette. This doesn't undermine either side of Adrien, but it means he acts and reacts differently depending on the situation while it still stems to a general personality. Adrien isn't fake at all, but Cat Noir is a way for Adrien to act out that he is uncomfortable doing outside the mask. Cat Noir isn't fake either, but he tries to have a lot of bravado and confidence. There are moments where it shows that Cat Noir is insecure and polite as he would be as Adrien, like before he and Ladybug split ways in "Dark Cupid".
