Click here to see quotes from Clara Nightingale.

Clara Nightingale (called Laura Nightingale in some episodes) is a minor character of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. She is an American pop star based off of the singer Laura Marano, who performed the Miraculous music video.[4]

In "Frightningale", after Chloé convinced André Bourgeois to prohibited Clara from shooting her music video "Miraculous" in Paris, she was akumatized by Hawk Moth into Frightningale, a singing, dancing, and rhyming supervillain.[5][6]

Appearance

Physical appearance

Clara is a fair-skinned young woman with waist-length wavy brown hair that is split on both sides, brilliant amaranth lipstick, and brown eyes.

Civilian attire

She wears a midriff-revealing, two-piece, short-sleeved white dress with mini-skirt, both having a pattern of yellow, magenta, cyan, and green triangles. On her right wrist, she has 3 bracelets: a puffy yellow bracelet, a black bead bracelet, and a wide magenta bracelet with cyan horizontal stripes. Additionally, she has black leggings that fade into dark blue at the bottom and black spool high heel shoes.

As Frightningale

Frightningale had straight blonde hair tied back into two high ponytails with pale, light grayish blue-violet star-shaped hair bands. She had heterochromia as her left eye was light brilliant sea green and her right eye was a vivid raspberry color. The tips of her hair on her left ponytail and right side bang were red, and the tips on her right ponytail and left side bang were green. Her face was amaranthish white, and she wore multicolored shades with star-like side edges. She also painted her lips with vivid amaranth lipstick. She wore a grayish violet jumpsuit that had a light blue pointed tip over each shoulder. A cyan star with a black outline is printed on her chest, her upper back included an upward shooting star design, and the rest of her suit was decorated with light brilliant arctic blue, yellow, and luminous vivid rose colored shapes. At her feet, she had luminous vivid cerise rectangular wedges and luminous vivid cyan high heels. She also held a wand with a strong blue swirled handle, a rounded pink bottom tip, a black star at the top, and a white-edged pink circle between the star and the handle.

Personality

FN (72)

Clara energetically welcomes everyone.

Clara is very energetic when talking with Alec Cataldi about her new music videos. She is constantly dancing to the tune while talking, and according to Marinette, she's very passionate about her music. Clara is clever; knowing she has to choose among many auditioners, she purposely trips to find someone who would act like Ladybug.

As Frightningale, she remained energetic, but was mischievous and cunning, as shown when she almost tricked Cat Noir into not rhyming and becoming a statue. She was also childish, saying that Ladybug and Cat Noir being tied together was cheating and would not be permitted.

Abilities

As a civilian

Clara is exceptional at singing and dancing. She speaks in rhymes and is able to do so without fail.

As Frightningale

Frightningale had enhanced physical prowess: she could jump incredible heights, hurl huge objects (such as buses), and run extremely quickly. Using her microphone, Frightningale could extend a pink energy whip which colored them with a pink aura whenever it hit people. If the victim was struck with the whip and failed to speak in rhymes or dance, the aura turned them into a magenta statue.

Relationships

Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug

FN (127)

Clara offers Marinette the role of Ladybug.

When none of the people who audition to play Ladybug seem right, Clara purposely trips in front of the extras to see which one of them would act like Ladybug. When Marinette helps her up, Clara concludes that she has found the perfect Ladybug and asks Marinette to play the heroine. She doesn't mind when Marinette turns down the offer to be with her friends. However, when she changes her mind, Clara excitedly gives her the part.

Clara admires Ladybug so much that she makes a music video dedicated to her and Cat Noir. When Frightningale is defeated, Clara expresses excitement over being saved by her and takes her suggestion on how to finish her music video.

Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir

FN (84)

Clara brings Adrien onstage.

According to Gabriel, Clara is a huge fan of Adrien and immediately gives him the role of Cat Noir in her music video when Gabriel suggests it.

Clara admires Cat Noir so much that she makes a music video dedicated to him and Ladybug. When Frightningale is defeated, Clara expresses excitement over being saved by him.

Chloé Bourgeois

FN (160)

Clara watches Chloé's audition.

When Chloé auditions to play Ladybug, Clara comments on her talent and upon Gabriel's suggestion, decides to use her in her music video. However, she soon gives the part to Marinette instead, angering Chloé and prompting her to cancel Clara's music video, leaving the musician in tears and vulnerable to akumatization.
