| “ | But I thought Marinette and Adrien were boyfriend and girlfriend. | ” |
—Manon, "The Puppeteer 2" | ||
Manon Chamack is the daughter of Nadja Chamack and a girl that Marinette babysits. In "The Puppeteer", after being accused by her mother of stealing one of Marinette's dolls, even though it had actually been lent to her, Hawk Moth Akumatizes her into The Puppeteer, a body-controlling supervillain who can control anyone whom she controls the doll of.[6]
In "The Puppeteer 2", after feeling ignored during a visit to Musée Grévin and thinking that nobody wants to play with her, she is akumatized again by Hawk Moth into the Puppeteer, possessing even stronger abilities than before.

Appearance
Physical appearance
Manon is short with tan skin, messy dark brown hair pulled back into two ponytails, moderate gamboge eyes, and two upper front buck teeth.

She wears a black mask over her eyes. She also wears a black fairy dress with a black turtleneck collar, V-necked collared light cyan blouse, pale, light grayish cerulean design and two points at the skirt top, and matching butterfly sleeves with black edges over black puff sleeves at her shoulders with light brilliant arctic blue zigzag ends.

Personality
Manon's using her baby doll eyes.
Manon is rambunctious, energetic, stubborn, and naive. She loves to have fun, but she doesn't like it when people don't keep their promises or are being unfair — whether it's in her eyes or it's true. She's also a bit capricious, getting angry when she doesn't get what she wants, and she can be disobedient at times to her mother or her babysitter. She sometimes tries to use baby doll eyes to win others over, although it doesn't always work, while she gets emotional about things she doesn't like, over time, she usually recovers from it in normal circumstances.
Manon is shown to be very brave when she participated in the Paris Rebellion in "Mayura".
As the Puppeteer, she is greedier and less controlled, wanting things to go the way she believes they should. While smart with how to use her puppets, she still thinks and acts like her young age. She is impatient and throws fits of anger when searching for the dolls.
Abilities
As a civilian
If Manon wants something very badly, like a balloon or doll, she is skilled at using her "baby doll eyes" expression to attempt and convince a person. Seen in "Stormy Weather", Manon is very fast for someone her age being able to outrun Marinette for a while and can be pretty stealthy.
As the Puppeteer
The Puppeteer zaps glowing pale, light grayish cerulean energy with her wand at a doll of a person. It rises into the air, and then she zaps it again, commanding it to come to life. The person that doll is based on becomes her real-life puppet, which she controls with the doll, similar to how voodoo dolls work. If the Puppeteer wants to, she can speak through the doll, and the real-life person will say the same thing. As for the puppet's actions and movements, she either does it herself, or she tells them what to do and they follow her order without her direct control.
A quirk of her power is that if the doll is based on a person's Akumatized villain form, the person transforms back into the villain with a wave of glowing pale, light grayish cerulean energy, and they regain all of their powers, but they also keep their weaknesses, as Lady Wifi's powers went off when Cat Noir destroyed the Wi-Fi antenna on top of the bakery.
The Puppeteer can fly and hover. She is also able to use telekinesis to keep the puppets floating and moving with her after she has zapped them.
- In "Gamer 2.0", although she only had a Cat Noir doll, Puppeteer was to also able to maintain control over Copycat as well. Though, it is possible the doll is indended to be a Copycat doll insted.
In "Puppeteer 2", her power increases, allowing her to bring wax figures to life and control them using her wand, including only parts of them. Any wax figure that represents someone with superpowers will get those same powers.

Relationships
Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug
Marinette and Manon playing with Marinette's dolls.
Manon enjoys Marinette as a babysitter, but she doesn't always like to obey Marinette's requests or respect her actions. She is willing to use her baby-doll eyes on Marinette if she wants something badly enough, and she is upset when Marinette wins while they are playing dolls. However, she doesn't have any bad intentions towards her, and she will agree with her ideas in particular cases. She even attends Marinette's birthday party in "Befana" with Marinette's other friends. During "The Puppeteer 2", she comes with Marinette and her friends to the wax museum.
With Ladybug, Manon appreciates her and her heroism. When Ladybug shows up and Marinette goes temporarily missing in "Stormy Weather", she concludes that Marinette and Ladybug are best friends that confide with each other on their actions. In "Mayura", Manon participated in the Paris Rebellion showing her bravery and support towards Ladybug.
As the Puppeteer, she lets out her frustration of losing with dolls by planning to defeat Ladybug in order for a win against her.
Nadja Chamack
Manon giving her mother a goodbye kiss.
Manon loves her mother deeply, and she usually obeys her. Despite this, she doesn't always like it when her mother doesn't allow her to do what she wants. In "Prime Queen", Manon wishes mother the best of luck when working on her tv show with Ladybug and Cat Noir.
In "Gamer 2.0", Manon spends time with her mother at the park and they embrace each other after Ladybug returns everything to normal.
Alya Césaire
Manon meets Alya in "Stormy Weather", and she warms up to her quickly. She isn't sure whether or not to believe that Alya is a unicorn from the Planet Rispa in human form, but she comes to like playing with her and listening to her stories.
