Everything

Chloé Bourgeois:

She is really changed in this au, because I'm part of the "Team We Stand Queen Bee". So yeah, she IS redeemed and keeps the bee miraculous.

In this version, she is secretly otaku (not because I do like Princess Tutu and I thought "yeah, Chloe would love it, wink wink), which derivatives her to cosplay, and since she isn't going to use all of her money to get all of the outfits, she uses some good ol' reliable fashion designer skills to make them. Besides that, she doesn't know what to do with her future.

Here she isn't naturally blonde, she has brown hair, but dyes it to make it resemble her mother's, which in her logic, will make her more pretty for her.

In school she is indeed a mean girl with no friends besides Sabrina, which will leave her alone at one point. She only does have Adrien, and even him does leave her alone for a bit of time.

In class she is good at math, just to explain why she has talent designing clothes.

She does love milk, but hates bananas, specifically the cold ones. Disgusting, utterly disgusting!

In this case she does have the bee miraculous by accident too just as Style Queen established, just with the difference that was premeditated, and Ladybug loses it by trying to give it to Alya for the mission. She finds it while she leaves the Eiffel Tower and does keep it. Initially she was going to be careful, but guess what? Audrey is a bitch and made her feel like a hindrance in her life (in this case Marinette wasn't going to be her promise as a fashion designer, she does compare her with Chloé to say that "a Chinese person is better than you, Choline"... Yeah.

So happens all of the Queen Wasp episode, then Malediktator shows up kinda different (here Chloé doesn't go to school because of how the school kids use her actions to bully her, except for Marinette and Adrien, and André feels frustrated by his wife, whichever made him akumatized), and Ladybug does have to give Chloé her Miraculous to save her father, and since she proved she was a holder indeed, she becomes Queen Bee officially and there starts to change for the better.

This made her kinda the Queen Bee fan she is in canon, except that she keeps the secret and does have her secret fanatic side on Ladybug.

And then Zoé Lee:

Zoé does have a lot of changes here too, I thought she could be less "Y/N" and more original, so I did established a concept on her.

Since in canon she wants to be an actress... Here, she IS a child actress. Which made her the second childhood friend of Adrien. This is because she was in a lot of leading roles with him in a lot of productions, at the point that there's a ship between them. Canon? Nope dear, she is lesbian.

Since she was little had a bad relationship with Chloé, her stepsister, because of her mother, Audrey. She literally wasn't subtle with the favoritism and preferred her a lot. Which made Chloé jealous. This made them rivals at the point that both posted her hate on socials.

Unlike her sister, she does have her otaku side open, at the point that the fans know which anime is her favorite: Kilari Revolution.

Alongside canon, she is interested in a girl. At start she does have a crush on Marinette, but gives up as soon as realizes she is in love with Adrien. And then she likes Alix, which isn't reciprocated too since she is aromantic.

And lastly, her hero side.

Listen: Vesperia is not canon here. But I did wanted her as a miraculous holder, so I thought which miraculous I should give her instead.

So I remembered Sabrina wasn't going to be a holder here (or at least, didn't destined to hold her canon miraculous), so I gave Zoé the dog miraculous. And there is Chasseurette. She does like being a heroine because she feels more free of cameras, and does like Ladybug and Chat Noir too.

So, here are both of our girls! Hope you like it! Sooner will be more! ;)

ML writers: this is Felix and he's a REAL abuse survivor!! See how we confirm that he is physically abused in THIS timeline? Yeah. That's because Gabriel WASN'T abusive (see Thomas Astruc's Twitter for more information uwu). You can't claim we're abuse apologists anymore!! Adrien was simply not abused!! Look at Felix! He was abused!! Take that!!

Ever.

Will never approve Zoe having the cat miraculous and being important despite not actually doin shit to earn it and get anyone to care about her.

the show is like "name someone who's suffered more than her" and put up a pic of zoe and anyone with common sense would just reply with chloe's picture

What is your opinion on the “Chloe deserves/doesn’t deserve redemption” situation or the “Chloe wasn’t meant to be redeemed and there for what happened to her is fair game” stance?

---

My thoughts on the Chloé situation are kinda complex. Back when the show only had three seasons, I did think Chloé’s character trajectory made sense. Sure, she’d saved people when she was acting as Queen Bee, but she still treated her classmates the same. In fact, she started treating Sabrina worse than before because she considered being anything other than Queen Bee hanging out with Ladybug was slumming it. For me, it really was a 50/50 on whether or not Chloé would be redeemed or fall into actual villainy.

Because, here’s how I saw it: I didn’t think Chloé was an actual villain-villain in seasons 1-3. She was Marinette’s school nemesis and a decidedly defanged one. Marinette was scared of her exactly once, in Origins, a flashback episode meant to showcase how much more confident being Ladybug has made Marinette that she views Chloé as small potatoes. The season 3 finale could have been the culmination of an arc where Marinette accidentally causes Chloé to become a villain and ally herself with Hawk Moth in the future.

And it would have been caused by Marinette, even if unintentionally. It would have shown how good intentions can have unforeseen consequences, especially when you don’t know what you’re helping someone with or what they want before you do so. Marinette doesn’t really understand what she’s trying to help people with whenever she does try to be helpful, because she assumes what they want and need instead of asking and listening (like in Reflekdoll, the latter part of Ikari Gozen and Quilt Trip). Many heroes create their own villains this way, and Marinette could have done so as well since she was the one to strengthen Chloé’s bond with the person who taught her to be an entitled bully and then she dragged her feet on whether or not she could use the Bee Miraculous.

The season 3 finale shows Chloé brought to a new low. The following New York Special gives us a glimpse of a Chloé who is withdrawn, like she’s reconsidering her life. This could have led to Chloé deciding that she would have revenge on Ladybug for leading her on and then dumping her (as a teammate). But, it could have also have led to Chloé realizing that, while Ladybug wasn’t her friend, Sabrina was, and she pushed the latter away in pursuit of being the Bee Miraculous holder. Chloé could have gained new insight that would have led her to start working on how she treats those closest to her, finally starting to treat her schoolmates with decency and, maybe, with time, kindness.

Then season 4 came along and all that foreshadowed introspection was dumped out the window in favor of having Chloé do cartoonishly stupid school antagonist character things. In season 4, where this kind of hijinks are so incredibly low-stakes that it’s both laughable to see, and laughable to realize the writers think this is good television.

I think the writers realized this too, because then comes season 5 with the retcon that, actually, Chloé is an evil mastermind who is so heinous that she orchestrated a traumatic event that led to Marintette’s character flaws and therefore Marinette should be forgiven for her flaws and Chloé blamed for them. Never mind the damage this episode does to Kim’s character, turning him from an oblivious to jock to a total creep, it also tries to convince us that Chloé is this big threat despite that it happened at least a year ago in-universe and that she had never done anything even close to this bad since. It just makes no sense when contrasting with the early seasons, where Marinette treats Kim as just one classmate among many and Chloé as a low-threat nuisance.

The problem was that they decided that they didn’t want Marinette to hold any responsibility for anything she does anymore. This is why they wrote the episode ‘Derision’, to absolve Marinette of all responsibility in her stalking of Adrien, even though them making it a serious trauma response instead of a cartoon-logic joke means that now she absolutely should take responsibility for her behavior and get therapy. Because they wanted to give Marinette a retroactive justification, the episode just doesn’t mesh with the rest of the show. But, like, the writing in Miraculous seasons 4-5 is so bad it’s of course never just about a single episode, it’s all about how the Miraculous writers don’t know how to build up arcs that then come to a logical conclusion, which is why all their story arcs’ endings fall flat and leave viewers thinking “where’s the rest of it?” when they’re not considered one of the worst finales for a show.

Basically, making Chloé a villain could have worked, but it would have required her getting built up into such a status. The Chloé of seasons 1-3 isn’t a monster, she’s a brat. But the writers didn’t want to do that work despite wanting that story, thinking some repetitive episodes of Chloé being a brat some more will accomplish the same thing. So, Chloé just keeps performing petty bullying until the writers think the viewers forgot that she’s like this because of her mother, who Marinette reunited her with, all the while pretending the woman who calls her by the wrong name to her face on purpose has done nothing wrong as a parent other than “leave”, before she randomly turns on Miss Bustier and starts working with Hawk Moth for supposedly no reason in Collusion.

Since there are 19 miraculous in the Chinese Miraculous Box, I opted to go for a 9 box chart, since I won't be including Chat Noir, meaning I only need 18 spaces (also it's just easier to divide).

I considered adding text and sharing the two charts, but I figured leaving the chart blank makes it easier for you to decide what kwami swaps you're doing.

Like maybe you don't want to do one character with different miraculous, but rather one miraculous with different characters. So instead of say, Alya with different miraculous, you choose nine different characters to use the bee miraculous.
