Nadja Chamack

Nadja Chamack^[1][2] (called Nadia Chamack in some episodes) is a TVi news reporter and Manon's mother. In "Prime Queen", after Arlette cancels her show, she is akumatized by Hawk Moth into Prime Queen, a television and media controlling supervillain.^[3]

Appearance

Physical appearance

Nadja stands at a medium height with pale skin, brown eyes, and small pink lips. She has vibrant, short, fuchsia hair.

Civilian appearance

She wears an indigo blouse with a purple button and lining. Underneath, she wears a violet shirt with white accents. Around her neck, she has a gold chain necklace with a pale green five-petaled flower charm. She also wears a white watch on her right wrist, white jeans, and red shoes.

As Prime Queen

She wears a pixel-textured head helmet with a light blue visor, while her hair, being stiff, shinier, and wilder, is on the outside. Because of the visor, her lips and pupils are glowing pink while the rest of her face is blue. She wears a dark blue pixel-textured bodysuit with a pattern of glowing light blue rectangular outlines connected with lines. Her lower arms and lower legs are fuchsia, and around her legs above the ankles is a thicker band with a glowing blue edge. The bottom of the suit combines with fuchsia high platform shoes.

Personality

Nadja is nice, informative, and interested in getting the details on an event to Paris. She gets impatient if she has to wait too long, and she sometimes goes too far in her quest for news, being insensitive with Armand when she tries to interview him after his loss at the election to André Bourgeois in "Darkblade". However, she is fearless in her quest to spread the word, even willing to interview the titular villain of "Pixelator" and calling herself the reporter who "spreads the villains' voice." Through all of her reports, she is professional and formal, but at the same time, she willingly expresses concern or happiness during particular instances. She is friendly to others, and she is very motherly to her daughter, though willing to discipline her.

Prime Queen, while good at onscreen presentation and strategics, is haughty and demanding, wanting Ladybug and Cat Noir to announce that they are in love. Her obsession with the heroes makes her more than willing to force them to reveal their identities on live television for Hawk Moth, and she blackmails them by endangering civilians Chloé and Alya without remorse. However, her desire for answers makes her act rashly, her aggravation of not being able to see Ladybug and Cat Noir detransform and kiss driving her to travel to them, falling for their trap.

Abilities

As a civilian

Nadja is a very persistent news reporter in her job, using whatever means necessary to find a story even if it gets into others' personal lives.

As Prime Queen

Prime Queen's power allows her to travel between television screens. Any television affected by her power can be used by others to travel from place to place. For communicating with others, she can control television screens to broadcast her actions from another television screen. However, if the television screen is destroyed, she can't use it to teleport or broadcast anymore.

Additionally, she is decently skilled in combat, and she is effective at tying Chloé up in a blue power cord.

Relationships

Manon Chamack

Manon is Nadja's daughter, whom she loves. While she can be very stern with her, like when she finds out Manon has one of Marinette's dolls and mistakenly believes she stole it, she means well, caring about her safety and wanting her to learn good virtues. Although Nadja has gotten used to Manon's baby doll eyes, she notes that Manon can be "very persuasive." She also worries greatly when she can't go and find Manon in "The Puppeteer", and she is relieved once she reunites with her.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug

Nadja appreciates that Marinette babysits Manon for her, and she understands Marinette's difficulty with Manon sometimes and her intentions to do the best she can with her. She forgives Marinette for her giving Manon a doll against orders in "The Puppeteer", and although she is at first getting impatient waiting for a cake delivery at Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie that Marinette is supposed to retrieve for her in "Timebreaker", she is content once Marinette shows up, apologizes, and gives her the cake.

With Ladybug, Nadja is grateful for her and Cat Noir's work to keep Paris safe. Many of Nadja's news reports are related to the villains that create trouble and the heroes that defeat them. During Manon's akumatization, Nadja feels slightly better after Ladybug reassures her that they'll find her daughter, and she thanks her when she is with Manon once more. Her interest in Ladybug also extends to knowing if she and Cat Noir are dating, but her asking and prodding push Ladybug too far in "Prime Queen". It becomes her obsession to see the duo romantically together while being Prime Queen. She later accepts with calm understanding when Alya tells her that the superhero duo aren't dating "yet."
