—Longg, "Ikari Gozen" | ||
Longg[6] is a supporting character of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. She is the kwami of Perfection[7] who is connected to the Dragon Miraculous.[8] With her power, Longg's wearer can use the choker necklace to transform into a dragon-themed superhero.
Longg and her Miraculous are currently owned by Kagami Tsurugi, who uses it to transform into the superheroine Ryuko.
Appearance
Longg is 10 centimeters (or 4 inches) tall[3] and red with four black horns on her forehead: a black horn on each side of her face, and red horns from the upper back of her head with black spirals. Additionally, Longg has golden eyes, small nostrils, a whisker on each cheek next to her mouth, two small black spikes on her lower back, and a long tail with three black tips at the end.
Personality
Longg is a bit formal, calling Kagami "young lady", has an eloquent approach and is quite informative and patient explaining her powers. She has a tendency to ramble on a bit, not seeing that her wielder is trapped inside an akumatized villain but knows not to rush as she tried to tell Kagami Ladybug's plans.
Abilities
Longg can fly, levitate, and phase through solid objects. She can also carry objects that are larger and/or heavier than her.
As a kwami, Longg is able to transform the holder of the Dragon Miraculous into a dragon-themed superhero.
Longg gives the wearer of the Dragon Miraculous the power to use the elements of water, wind, and lightning. The wearer can transform into one of these elements by saying either water, wind or lightning dragon. After all three elements have been used, Longg loses energy, giving the wearer five minutes until they transform back. Longg can fuse her powers with Tikki's to create the hybrid wielder, Dragon Bug.
Relationships
Kagami Tsurugi
As Longg and Kagami meet, she tells her the abilities she will grant her as Ryuko, but she is cut short as Kagami activates her before Longg can fully inform Kagami of Ladybug's plan. In "Heart Hunter", she is happy to see Kagami again.
In "Strikeback" Kagami is saddened to discover that Longg is now Monarch's prisoner.
In "Perfection", the two were briefly reunited when Kagami got akumatized as Ryukomiri, even though she doesn't remember, they couldn't communicate, but it's likely he's proud of her for rejecting the megakuma.
In "Protection" Longg sees Monarch akumatize Kagami again, and probably worried about her.
In "Re-creation", she is reunited with her holder, Kagami, to which they both are excited.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug/Dragon Bug
Longg knew Ladybug's plan to defeat Ikari Gozen, as she had tried to tell it to Kagami before she activated the miraculous, indicating that Ladybug might have gone over it with Longg before sending the Dragon Miraculous Kagami's way. The fact that she knows the kwami's name when she asked Ryuko if Longg had indeed gone over their plan with her is further indication of this.
Marinette puts on Longg's Miraculous in "Kwamibuster", so she and the other kwamis can help her save Tikki and Plagg from the titular villain, while she uses the power of the Mouse Miraculous to become Multimouse. The Dragon Miraculous is one of the few Miraculouses that the temporarily mouse-themed heroine didn't use, but she did hide herself in the kwami's mouth for a short time. In "Heart Hunter", because of Marinette's failed sabotage attempt, Longg was the only other kwami that was saved from Hawk Moth's grasp. After the events of "Miracle Queen", Marinette became the new Guardian tasked with safeguarding Longg's Miraculous, along with the rest of the Miraculouses.
In "Strikeback", thanks to the power of Flairmidable, Gabriel manages to steal the Dragon Miraculous from Ladybug's yo-yo, separating Longg from her guardian.
In "Re-creation", Ladybug managed to defeat Monarch and restore Longg's Miraculous to its original form, then sent Longg to live permanently with Kagami.
Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth/Monarch
At first Longg did not know Hawk Moth's identity, but he knew that Nooroo was under his command and he wanted to free him along with his other Kamis companions.
In "Heart Hunter", when Ladybug took the Dragon Miraculous to separate Adrien and Kagami, she ended up preventing Hawk Moth from obtaining the Dragon Miraculous.
However, in "Strikeback", because Félix betrayed Ladybug, Gabriel ended up obtaining all the miraculouses, leaving Longg under his service and discovering his motives.
In "Evolution", he uses Longg's power twice to escape Ladybug's Yo-yo.
In "Destruction", Longg and his companions are forced to reveal to Gabriel the location of his guardian, but they end up taking him to a trap that Ladybug had prepared to recover Longg and his companions, but he ended up failing, later Gabriel melts his miraculous and turns it into a alliance ring to transfer Longg's power to any akunatized villain he desires and imprisons Longg and his companions in cages.
In "Passion", Monarch loaded Longg's power into one of the projectiles created by Safari from Genesis, allowing Safari to use Longg's power.
In "Perfection", Monarch akumatized Kagami into Ryukomori and transferred Longg's power to him.
In "Protection", Longg sees Monarch akumatize his owner again.
In The Final Day, Monarch transfers Longg's power, along with that of the other caged Kamis, to the Miraculized. After Bug Noire's Battle against Monarch, Longg was freed from his control.
