This article is about the ice cream vendor. You may be looking for another André.

My dear Marinette, being an ice cream man isn't a job; I used to have a job. Every morning, I would wake up and do something I didn't like doing. The only enjoyable moment for my day was when I would come home and concoct ice cream flavors that suited my mood. Until one day, in the same way that ice cream enchanted my daily life, I wondered if my true calling would be to try and enchant other people's lives, too! That's when the truly successful career is: a blend of flavors of what you can do, what you love to do, and what you can bring to others!

—André, "Wishmaker"

André is a minor character of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. He is an ice cream vendor who lives in Paris. His ice cream, also known as Sweethearts ice cream, is said to have the magical ability to help people find true love, and couples that share his ice cream are said to stay in love forever.

André sets up his cart in a different location everyday and to find him, one has to follow a series of online clues. It can take several hours to locate André.

In "Glaciator", after he failed to persuade Marinette to get another ice cream after her first one was ruined, he was akumatized by Hawk Moth into Glaciator, an ice cream supervillain.[4]

In "Glaciator 2", when he was convinced that Ladybug and Cat Noir are made for each other and Ladybug denies it, André was reakumatized by Shadow Moth into Glaciator. Later in the same episode, after coming to believe that Marinette and Cat Noir were dating, much to his dismay, André was reakumatized into Glaciator. He also received a Magical Charm from Ladybug that prevented him from being reakumatized.

In "Elation" after being convinced again that Marinette and Cat Noir were dating, much to his disappointment, he was reakumatized into Glaciator, receiving the Tiger Miraculous superpower through his Alliance ring. He also received a new Magical Charm from Ladybug after his first one got destroyed.

Appearance[]

Physical appearance[]

André is tall with a big round belly, broad shoulders, a chubby neck, short brown hair, roesish black eyes, and a small, thin brown mustache.

Civilian attire[]

He wears white blouse with rolled up sleeves with dark blue stripes, dark gray pants, and shoes. He also wears a dark blue beret on his head, a thin red scarf around his neck which he ties at the front, and a blue apron.

As Glaciator[]

He resembled a snowman made of ice cream, with a large, round head with an ice-cream-cone-shaped nose, a mouth made of deep brown chocolate chips, brilliant crimson eyes, and a red cherry on top of his head. His body was white overall, with two more cherries down the front like buttons, as well as one on each knee. He had a dark brown coating on his upper body resembling fudge sauce, and his arms had round pink hands which had red strawberry pieces embedded in them.

Personality[]

André is friendly, jovial, and good-natured. He warmly talks with his customers, and he is a strong believer in the power of love, and takes great pride in how his ice cream brings couples together. He also likes to break into song from time to time. He is a firm believer of Ladybug and Cat Noir being in love to the point of believing that the heroes can't be in love with someone else. Like most people in Paris, he doesn't fully understand why they can't be in love.

He is enthusiastic about making ice cream. He used to work at a job that made him miserable; back then, the only good part of his day was when he returned home and experimented with ice cream combinations. When his ice cream is ruined, although upsetting to him, he takes it as best he can; for example, he kindly thanked Cat Noir for complimenting his ice cream, despite the hero crashing into a container of ice cream and accidentally using Cataclysm on a serving he just prepared.

André is also a good judge of character with impeccable intuition. He always chooses ice cream flavors for his costumer that match their character and situation perfectly. He even made an ice cream for Marinette that reminded her of Adrien, even though he should have had no way of knowing anything about who Marinette was in love with.

However, he has a possessive side, when it comes to love, which is shown in "Glaciator 2" where he has a tantrum because Marinette is with Cat Noir, and in "Elation", where he refuses to serve Marinette and Cat Noir an ice cream just to tell them that they were in love with Adrien and Ladybug and he accidentally breaks their nascent love.

As Glaciator, André was more stern in proving to Marinette that his ice cream could bring people together. He retained his soft spot for couples, refusing to attack them. He also claimed to be a man of his word.

In "Elation", however. as Glaciator, his intuition was a little shortsighted. In his rampage, he believed if the heroes gave up their jewels, then they could be together. But he didn't think about other people or their actions as Monarch didn't care who had the jewels as long as he got them, ending up in this being a quick and easy or short-term solution.

Abilities[]

As a civilian[]

André is experienced at making and decorating ice cream, using various flavors and presentations. He is also skilled in sales, knowing how to run his business and make a profit, along with being aware of good places to go with his ice cream cart and sell his ice cream to customers.

As Glaciator[]

He was able to transform people into ice cream. Over time, the people who were transformed into ice cream melt. He also shot multiple scoops of ice cream from his hands and had amazing strength, being able to kick a car many yards away.

In "Elation" he received the power of the Tiger Miraculous, Clout, through his alliance ring.

Relationships[]

Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug[]

André notices that Marinette seems depressed when she visits his ice cream cart with her friends and attempts to cheer her up with some of his ice cream, telling her that if she eats it, her love will appear. Though Marinette insists that she doesn't have a love, André knows that this is not true. However, he becomes upset when Marinette rejects his ice cream and denies that there is anything magical about it, leading to his akumatization. As Glaciator, he primarily targets Marinette, wanting to prove to her that his ice cream truly is the best. However, after being deakumatized, he bears no resentment towards her and happily gives her some ice cream the following day.

In "Glaciator 2", like everyone else he doesn't know that Marinette is the hero behind the mask, upon seeing her with Cat Noir. Andre mistakenly believes they were a couple (but actually they were friends.) As his akumatized alter ego, he attacked them still believing the heroes were meant to be.

Like everyone else in Paris, Andre shows great admiration for the heroine and truly believes that she and Cat Noir are meant to be. When as Glaciator, he tries to steal her miraculous but refused to attack the heroes upon seeing them in love.

Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir[]

André first encounters Adrien when he visits his ice cream cart and asks if his ice cream is truly magical. When André asks him what he thinks, Adrien replies that you have to believe, pleasing André, who then gives him some ice cream.

Ivan Bruel & Mylène Haprèle[]

Ivan and Mylène are typical customers of André. When he sees them visit his ice cream cart again, he calls them cute lovebirds.

Trivia[]

  • Prior to the release of "Glaciator", André's first appearance in any Miraculous Ladybug media was in "The Trash Krakken Part 1 - Silurus", the second issue of the Miraculous Adventures comic series. He appeared in the background serving ice cream at the Île aux Cygnes and later can be seen running away from Silurus's attack.
  • Ezra Weisz revealed during an interview for the Animation Station podcast that André is unnamed in the script for "Befana" and he was simply known as "Vendor".[1]
  • On the Miraculous Amino app, Lindalee Rose posted an update about the upcoming San-Diego Comic Con 2017 panel for Miraculous. She noted that "nobody and nothing is safe from being akumatized," and she included an ice cream emotion, referencing Glaciator.[5]
  • Glaciator's design was first revealed in a promotional video for Season 2 from TFOU.[4]
  • André is one of the few akumatized villains who do not get an outfit change when akumatized, but only if his ice cream armor is not considered an outfit change.
  • A scarlet version of Glaciator reappeared in the two-part special event "Heroes' Day".[4]
  • Glaciator appeared another time in "Gamer 2.0" for Gamer's powers.
  • Glaciator is a play on "gladiator".
  • In "Wishmaker", it was revealed that André originally used to work at an office, and hated every second of it. It was when he was making ice cream treats after coming home to pick up his mood that he decided to follow his passion and become an ice cream man.
Glaciator 2 (428)

André's Magical Charm.

  • Glaciator is the first, and so far only, villain from Season 2 to have two episodes named after himself.
    • He's also the first in this category to not be from Season 1.
  • Glaciator is the only villain to be the titular villain of two episodes ("Glaciator" and "Glaciator 2"), and not be part of a group when akumatized, which doesn't have any change in their powers during their second akumatization.
