Orikko[2] is the kwami who is connected to the Rooster Miraculous.[3] With their power, Orikko's wearer can use the thumb ring to transform into a rooster-themed superhero.
Orikko is currently dormant in their Miraculous within the Miracle Box, being kept by Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Appearance
Orikko is 10 centimeters (or 4 inches) tall[1] and has burnt orange skin, the color getting lighter the further down their body, with orange eyes and yellow sclerae. They have a rooster comb on their head, a yellow beak, and a rooster-like tail with three tips.
Abilities
Orikko can fly, levitate, and phase through solid objects. They can also carry objects that are larger and/or heavier than themself.
As a kwami, Orikko is able to transform the holder of the Rooster Miraculous into a rooster-themed superhero, although it is unknown what the transformation looks like or what powers the transformed person gains.
History
Before Season 2
Before the Miraculous jewels were created, Orikko and the other kwamis traveled all over the universe unable to interact with humans. Thousands of years ago, a mage created the Miraculouses. When its Miraculous was not being worn, Orikko was dormant in the Rooster Miraculous, which was stored inside Master Fu's Miraculous jewelry box.
Season 2
During Season 2, Orikko was dormant in the Rooster Miraculous.
In "Sandboy", Orikko was celebrating Nooroo's birthday in the Miracle Box with the other kwamis and was excited when Tikki and Plagg arrived. They marveled at the gift Tikki brought as they thought it was a paintbrush. When it came the time to find Nooroo, Orikko got into position but in an effort to contact him, but they contacted his wielder instead. Upon hearing his voice, the kwami shuddered at the thought of being his slave and prevented themselves from being discovered when they all cut off the connection. They realized if they contacted Nooroo's wielder, rather than Nooroo, then someone must have been akumatized and that Tikki and Plagg's wielders would be in danger.
Season 3
During Season 3, Orikko was dormant in the Rooster Miraculous.
In "Kwamibuster", they were activated along with their kwami brothers and sisters to help Multimouse enact her plan to rescue Tikki and Plagg. During the confrontation, Orikko was one of the few kwamis captured but this was actually part of the plan and was set free with the help of Multicat. After Kwamibuster's defeat, Orikko and others cheered for Marinette as their plan was successful and was returned to Miracle Box.
In "Miracle Queen", they were activated alongside Stompp, Roaar, Ziggy, Daizzi, Barkk, Mullo, and Fluff, by Queen Bee with the intent to use them against Ladybug and Cat Noir. After being commanded to transform her, they collectively withheld their transformation phrases. Upon hearing Master Fu renounce his title, they and the others protest but Master Fu does so anyway, resulting in the Miracle Box changing shape and form. After failing to escape, Queen Bee throws off their respective Miraculouses, and they, alongside their kwamis, are returned to the Miracle Box by Ladybug.
