| “ | Where's Nathalie? Are you my new holder? | ” |
—Duusu to Félix, "Multiplication" | ||
Duusu[9] is a major character of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. She is the kwami of Emotion[10] who is connected to the Peacock Miraculous.[11] With her power, Duusu's wearer can use the brooch to transform into a peacock-themed superhero.
Duusu and her Miraculous are currently active and owned by Félix Fathom, who uses it to transform into the superhero Argos to secure his own and Adrien's existence.
Appearance
Duusu is a brilliant phthalo blue creature and is 10 centimeters tall.[7] She has a small pale, light grayish cerise circle on the center of her forehead and matching eyes with deep cobalt blue sclerae. Duusu's mouth is a dark magenta and contains rows of teeth on the top and the bottom. Duusu's tail, reminiscent of that of a real peacock, contains five feathers. The eyes of the feathers are brilliant orchid, with a black interior and a dark blue exterior. She also has three feathers coming out from behind her head, the central one of which is longer than those to its left and right.

Personality
Duusu had a very sporadic personality, with her being happy one minute and then overly sad the next. After her Miraculous is fixed, it's revealed that her erratic behavior was, indeed, partly a result of the damage to the Peacock Miraculous, which Duusu comments as being like there was "chaos in [her] head" and she was in a nightmare.
Now that her Miraculous is fixed, Duusu is shown to have her mind completely cleared. She can still be quite emotional and a bit scatterbrained, but to a lesser extent than when her Miraculous was broken. The fact that she thought being used for evil was a nightmare indicates that, like her kwami brethren, she wishes her powers to be used responsibly and for the greater good of the world.
When her Miraculous was broken, Duusu was a bit oblivious to the way she acted around others, as well as to what her owner did with her powers. Duusu was very easily excited and seemed to enjoy chaos, though she was very concerned for Nathalie's health, showing that she can be caring.
Duusu has been shown to be compassionate, as she felt sorry for Marinette when seeing her cry for being separated from Adrien.
Abilities
General skills
As Duusu's holders can sense where an amok is hiding it's likely she can sense it too as well as have a good memory.
As a Kwami
Duusu is able to fly, levitate, phase through solid objects, and carry objects that are larger and/or heavier than her.
As a kwami, Duusu has and can give the power of emotion and is able to transform the holder of the Peacock Miraculous into a peacock-themed superhero or supervillain with the power of Amokization.
Relationships
Nathalie Sancoeur
Although Nathalie wields her powers for evil, Duusu is shown to still care for her, as seen in the episode "Reflekdoll" where she is upset and shows concern with Nathalie collapsing in exhaustion and later advises her to rest instead of using her powers. In "Ladybug" she also seems to be aware of Nathalie's feelings for Gabriel as well, remarking that her desire to give him the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses is romantic.
The two separated after Gabriel managed to fix her Miraculous in "Truth" and later gave it to Félix in "Strikeback"
Gabriel Agreste
Like Nooroo, Duusu is forced to concede to Gabriel's orders, unwillingly.
Not much is fully known of the relationship between Gabriel and Duusu, but she does obey Gabriel after being told that Nathalie needs to rest.
Upon getting her Miraculous fixed, Duusu was horrified to discover that she was being used for evil but could not disobey Gabriel. Despite this she did show concern for Gabriel in "Hack-San" at the notion of her re-akumatizing Robostus despite the fact that the robot nearly killed him when he did it the first time, though she quickly became hopeful that it might happen again due to the chance that she and Nooroo could be freed from Gabriel's evil grip.
In "Strikeback", Gabriel renounces Duusu and trades her Miraculous for all the others in the Chinese Miracle Box, thus being spared from being imprisoned by Gabriel and having her Miraculous reconfigured to power his akumatized villains like her fellow kwamis.
Presumably after "Pretension", Duusu likely became aware of Gabriel wanting to get her Miraculous back.
In "Representation", Duusu was willing to help Félix and Kagami to reveal the truth to Marinette to help defeat Gabriel.
Nooroo

Duusu hugs Nooroo.
Duusu is good friends with Nooroo, though she is oblivious to how Nooroo is concerned about her mental condition. Nooroo was, until the events of "Strikeback", the only kwami she was able to meet.
After the Peacock Miraculous was fixed and her mind got cleared, Duusu was shown to be very happy to see Nooroo, happily hugging him and expressing how happy she was to see him.
However, the two separated after Gabriel renounced and traded his Miraculous to Félix in "Strikeback".
Émilie Agreste
Not much is known about Duusu's relationship with Émilie, but it's likely similar to her and Gabriel, that she also knew the reason why her former owner overused the damaged jewel. Just like Gabriel, Duusu was heartbroken and saddened by her wielder's fate. In "Representation", possibly after hearing that Émilie couldn't have a child on her own, Duusu felt sympathy towards the Agreste couple allowing them to use her power to give them a child: Adrien.
Wang Fu
Not much is known about Duusu's relationship with Wang Fu, but she apparently allowed Fu to use the Peacock Miraculous to create the Dormant Sentimonster that caused the fall of the Order of the Guardians. As a result of this, Fu lost not just the Peacock Miraculous and Duusu herself, as well as the Butterfly Miraculous along with its kwami, Nooroo, and the spellbook.
Félix Fathom
In "Strikeback", Duusu and her Miraculous are given to Félix in exchange of all other Miraculouses from the Chinese Miracle Box.

Duusu formally meets Félix
In "Multiplication", when Félix wears the Peacock Miraculous, Duusu formally meets Félix. Duusu asks him if he's the new owner which Félix ambiguously answers that he's way more than being her owner.
From "Emotion" and onwards, Félix uses her Miraculous seeking to free his cousin Adrien (who is later revealed to be a sentihuman) and Kagami from their controlling parents.
Duusu was gently reassured by Félix they'll get a happy ending for everyone.
In "Pretension", Duusu becomes aware of her holder's romantic interest in Kagami. In "Representation", Duusu was happy to help Félix and Kagami to reveal the truth to Marinette so they could love each other freely. It's also shown he's nice towards his kwami, unlike his uncle and Nathalie.
Also during Félix and Kagami's play, it was shown that Félix is a sentihuman created by his father's jealousy and he wanted the Peacock Miraculous to protect his and Adrien's existences and to stop Gabriel from abusing Duusu's powers and that was the reason he gave all other Miraculouses to his uncle.
Kagami Tsurugi
Duusu became aware of Félix falling in love with Kagami in "Pretension". In "Representation", she, too, was sad to see Marinette crying again after being forcibly separated from Adrien but cheered up when Félix wanted to reveal the truth to Marinette so everyone can get a happy ending.
Amélie Graham de Vanily
Not much is known about her relationship with her holder's mother, but Félix trusts his mother enough to know that he's Argos and that her husband used her power to have their son.
Colt Fathom
Not much is known about her relationship with her temporary holder, but despite Colt's distaste for witchcraft, he used its power fueled from his jealousy of Émilie and Gabriel having a child before he and Amélie to create Félix. Unfortunately, due to it being broken at the time, it slowly took its toll on Colt and died around the time Émilie entered a coma.

Trivia
- Duusu's name may be based on the Slavic word for soul, "duša".
- It may instead be based on the French word "douce", meaning "sweet".
- Duusu was first revealed by Jeremy Zag with a picture posted on his Instagram on June 27, 2016. The post did not contain any comments from him.[12]
- Her name was revealed on October 7, 2016 during the Miraculous panel at New York Comic-Con.
- As seen in the concept art, when she cries, her tears appear to glitter.
- This idea, however, is part of an old concept and may not be true in the completed version of the character.[13]
- The official Miraculous Ladybug Twitter, however, did comment on the image, stating "Who do you think is hiding behind the peacock kwami? 💙"[14]
- Also, another piece of concept art that was revealed shows Duusu with her Miraculous's future holder, which later turned out to be Nathalie Sancoeur.
- Duusu has coloration and plumage similar to that of a peacock, a male peafowl.
- Duusu's first appearance in any Miraculous media is in the second issue of Miraculous Adventures, alongside several kwamis, known and unknown, as they fly through space in a flashback.[15]
- Out of all the known kwamis, she is the only one who didn't appear in "Sandboy". However, she was mentioned by Sass.
- The reason why Duusu speaks in a high-pitched voice is because many peacocks make high-pitched calls, though this was yet to be confirmed.
- Prior to the airing of "Truth", it was uncertain whether or not Duusu was aware that she was being used for evil and if her sporadic personality was a result of the Peacock Miraculous being damaged. The events of the episode confirmed both to be the case with her saying it was like her mind was chaotic and she was inside a nightmare being used for evil purposes, unaware that it was indeed reality.
- Duusu is one of four kwamis to have emotion-related powers, the other three being Nooroo, Liiri and Daizzi.
- Duusu is so far the only bird kwami who does not have a beak.
