—Orikko to Marc, "Penalteam" | ||
Orikko[6] is a supporting character of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. He is the kwami of Pretension who is connected to the Rooster Miraculous.[7] With his power, Orikko's wearer can use the thumb ring to transform into a rooster-themed superhero.
Orikko and his Miraculous are currently owned by Marc Anciel, who uses it to transform into the superhero Rooster Bold.
Appearance[]
Orikko is 10 centimeters (or 4 inches) tall[4] and has burnt orange skin, the color getting lighter the further down his body, with orange eyes and yellow sclerae. He has a rooster comb on his head, a yellow beak, and a rooster-like tail with three tips.
In most episodes, Orikko's eyes appear partially open (almost like he is squinting), but in season 5, he's usually seen with his eyes fully open.
Personality[]
Orikko appears to be a very prideful kwami, being easily offended, evidenced when Gabriel called him "useless" when he was told of the limitations of the kwami's power. The other kwamis inclusively said to Gabriel that he shouldn't have insulted Orikko as it appears that he becomes unwilling to cooperate when that happens. When he was first introduced to Marc, Orikko appeared eager to assist in the soccer match.
Abilities[]
Orikko can fly, levitate, and phase through solid objects. He can also carry objects that are larger and/or heavier than himself.
As a kwami, Orikko is able to transform the holder of the Rooster Miraculous into a rooster-themed superhero, giving the wearer the power of Sublimation, allowing the user to give themself any superpower they choose. However, as revealed in "Destruction", Orikko's superpowers do have some limitations. Sublimation cannot take the form of a wish, it has to be an ability. Orikko also can't give a power that already belongs to another kwami, since each kwami represents a unique concept and a concept can only exist once in the universe. Finally, Orikko can't give a power that would disrupt another kwami's magic, like the power of finding a miraculous user's secret identity, the quantum masking is part of the kwami's power.
However, Orikko's version of the power is unknown but stronger and will cause a catastrophe if used without a holder.
Relationships[]
Friends/Allies[]
Marc Anciel/Rooster Bold[]
Although their interactions are not seen much, they appear to be good friends as Orikko eagerly greeted Marc when they first met and was seen nuzzling Marc's cheek when they were reunited.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug[]
Like the other kwamis of the miracle box, Orikko was aware that his sister Tikki had an owner, and officially became acquainted with Marinette in "Kwamibuster". Then, by "Miracle Queen", became his new guardian and thereby is good friends with her and enjoyed the freedom she allowed them to have in her home. He was also supportive and caring of her emotions as both a regular girl and the new guardian.
Nathaniel Kurtzberg/Caprikid[]
He was aware that Nathaniel was his owner's lover and in "The Ruler" cutscene, officially got to meet him as his hero alterego Caprikid discovering that the boy is Ziggy's owner.
Ziggy[]
Orikko and Ziggy get along well and in "The Ruler", they meet each other's owners,
Other kwamis[]
Orikko is shown to get along very well with the other kwamis. He both supports them and receives their support in return..
Enemies[]
Gabriel Agreste/Monarch[]
Like the other kwamis, he was aware that Gabriel, was using Nooroo's power for evil, then in "Sandboy", shared a desire to contact Nooroo during his cycle but contacted the villain instead. From Season 5, Orikko did not enjoy having to serve Gabriel and lend his powers to his plans to get the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses until "Re-creation". where he and his siblings expressed joy of being freed from him.
Tomoe Tsurugi[]
After being captured by Monarch, Orikko discovered that Tomoe was Gabriel's ally and helped him destroy his Miraculous and reform it into a ring. Orikko then witnessed their alliance from his cage, and in "Pretension," Tomoe akumatized herself to steal Felix's Peacock Miraculous. Monarch transferred Orikko's power to Tomoe to help her, but it was ineffective.
In "Miraculous London," after being freed by Bug Noir and Nathalie, Orikko overheard Nathalie revealing the truth about Tomoe to her guardian. However, Ladybug decided not to bring her to justice and instead gave her a chance to change after she had hidden the truth about Monarch from the world.
