| “ | I'm not superhero, I'm just a baker. So in order to help Ladybug and Cat Noir, I'm going to keep doing what I know how to do. Pastries and bread. I hope their delicious aromas and crispy layers will make every Parisan so happy that this wretched Monarch won't find a single soul to akumatize. | ” |

Personality

Tom and Sabine watching Marinette leave for school.
Tom is passionate about his job and loves to share with his daughter.[7] He also likes to play video games with Marinette and seems to be quite confident in his abilities as a gamer, saying his daughter learned from the best. He is protective of his loved ones, even courageously going against the mayor's authority when Chloé Bourgeois tries to convince Roger Raincomprix arrest Marinette in "Rogercop". In this same episode, he tells Marinette that passing the blame onto others is wrong, showing that he does not approve of selfish behavior. He also gets exasperated, frustrated, and disappointed in some cases, but he usually means well and doesn't hold a grudge afterward. While he can be intrusive sometimes, usually related to Marinette's crushes, he knows his boundaries. Caring about the well-being of others, Tom assists and comforts anyone, whether he is familiar with them or not, and he is very friendly and optimistic. In "Family", Marinette describes him as a true romantic and can get carried away at times.
In "Troublemaker", he is somewhat nervous in front of the camera, very protective when his family's privacy gets invaded. Tom has proven himself to be very brave on occasion seen in "Mayura", when he took part in the Paris Rebellion.
When he was willing to defend the bakery and their home from Gigantitan. But according to Sabine, Tom has a habit of jumping to conclusions or making a big deal out of everything when he quickly assumed that Marinette was in love with Cat Noir or when things don't go well. According to Sabine in "Bakerix", Tom doesn't talk openly about his feelings meaning he can be shy or hesitant about them.
As Weredad, he was overprotective and became antagonistic when he assumed that someone was going to harm or threaten his daughter. He seemed to have a hatred towards Cat Noir for breaking Marinette's heart and found him unworthy of his daughter's love. Without a second thought, Weredad was stubborn, even never listening to Cat Noir and told him that one day, a prince worthy of her will climb up the vine, confront him, and pluck the magic rose to free Marinette. Additionally, he started to act like Gabriel Agreste in regards to his son, as Weredad thought his daughter would be safe from harm without considering the possibility about how miserable and hurt she would feel.
During his second akumatization as Weredad, he remained overprotective with Marinette, wanting to protect his daughter from anything that could harm her. Even his wife and parents, and their opinions of how to raise Marinette, came in conflict with his own. Because of this, Weredad got very competitive with the rest of his akumatized family, fighting with them to prevent them from imposing their way of raising Marinette or trying to beat them into getting Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses.
Abilities
As a Civilian
A baker, Tom can make multiple delicious foods like pastries and candies. He also knows how to play video games, which is a hobby he enjoys outside of work.
He is really strong as he is able to pick up a three layer cake seen in "Befana" or his wife and Marinette with ease.
As Weredad
His strength increased and he could attack with thorny vines that came from his hand while the main one was used as a trap to prevent anyone from reaching the akumatized object and its prisoner.
