Presentation: (tw: spoiler)
Cerise Bianca (formerly named Lila Rossi) a.k.a. Chrysalis is the current main antagonist of Miraculous franchise. She is the current Butterfly miraculous holder and Marinette/Ladybug's arch-nemesis.
-Chrysalis: "Hello everyone. Forgive my intrusion, but I felt your Contest and your Pantheon are losing the attention from the public."
-Ozai: "About "losing". Did you call us out as losers, brat ? š "
-Chrysalis: "No. Mister Ozai. But I admire both you all in the Jury. š"
-Maleficent: "So admirable. š„°"
-Palpatine: "Why you come to try to join us, child ?"
-Chrysalis (feigning sympathy): "I want to work with your agency to help you to boost your audiences. And I have family who can support you in sponsor and you can even humanitarian missions. š„°"
-Sailor Galaxia: "The Villains Contest doesn't give fundings here. š"
-Palpatine: "Fascinating. But I feel that you are lying to us. š"
-Chrysalis: "What ? š"
-SƓsuke Aizen: "You come here to bethrone all of us and to take control of the Pantheon."
Chrysalis turns surprised. š±
-Chrysalis: "How do you know that ? š¬"
-Aizen: "By asking your question, you just made me confirm my suspicions."
Chrysalis is bit of upset. š
-Palpatine: "Just tell us who are you. And why do you really come here ?"
-Chrysalis: "My name doesn't matter. I only come to lead you all."
-Sauron: "You must dethrone me first, I am the ruler of the Pantheon of Villains. š"
-Palpatine: "Ruler ? I already told you that your title is illegitimate. It was a out-of-game vote."
-Syndrome: "We will talk about that later. But let's listen Chrysalis' file."
-Chrysalis: "Thanks. š"
Chrysalis gives a kiss on Syndrome's cheek. The latter turns confused. šš„“
The Chrysalis' backstory actually remains unknown and uncomplete for now. Prior to the Miraculous series, Cerise used so many disguises and fake identities to manipulate and deceit random people she met. She is the shadow agent of Tomoe Tsurugi (from who she claimed to be the latter's daughter).
-Loki: "Me too. I use so many disguises in daytime. And it's for the conquest of power and to disturb my foster brother."
She has a big interest on getting attention too. She has no qualms about lying to everyone (her classmates from various schools, adult parents) for getting her goals. She even tricked a deaf woman by pretending to be her daughter. She tells things that everyone wants to hear.
-Aizen: "Deja Vu. I did the same thing with the Soul Society for one century."
-Palpatine: "And I passed the politics grades with this method. š"
-Chrysalis: "Be patient. It's only the beginning. š"
Under the disguise of "Lila Rossi", Cerise faked a movie shoot to Mexico as an excuse to her absence to her classmates and teachers from Paul Bert middle school. In fact, she remained at Paris and she went enrolled to FranƧoise Dupont where she made everyone from there believe that she is a nice girl. And she openly pretended to be besties with Ladybug to Alya on live (Volpina (1.26)).
-Chrysalis: "The only mistake of my life. š "
When "Lila" was gaining Adrien's trust to have a "date" with him, the superliar stole the Miraculous spellbook to him (this action drove the boy being grounded by his father nextafter that). She bought a Fox-themed necklace and with that, she can tell to the blond boy that "she was a better superheroine than Ladybug". In fact, she invented this lie because she noticed that Adrien had a crush on the red-black superheroine (and that pissed her off). About Ladybug, the superheroine confronted Lila and angrily berated her for her lie on the Ladyblog. So the brunette was akumatized into Volpina and used her new powers of illusion to trick the two superheroes and Parisians. But Ladybug discovered the trick. Even deakumatized, Lila expressed her hostility toward Ladybug despite the latter made her amends to the former (Volpina (1.26)).
-Syndrome: "At least, it's interesting. š"
Cerise as Lila teamed up with Hawk Moth during Heroes' Day (Catalyst-Mayura (2.24-2.25)). She goes turned into Volpina again and she created an illusion of Ladybug killing Cat Noir in front of Parisians. That let the population bring horrified and despaired that Hawk Moth used his scarlet akumas to turn everyone into an army of scarlet supervillains.
-Chrysalis: "And I have no remorse for that. š"
-Sailor Galaxia (worried): "Even myself, I would never dare to use this unfair strategy."
Once back to FranƧoise Dupont school, she still manipulated and fooled classmates (expected Marinette and Adrien). When Marinette confronted her in the bathroom, "Lila" blackmailed the bakery girl to make her life miserable if she didn't side with her. Later, the wig wearing girl took an akuma and willingly collaborated with Hawk Moth to get revenge against Ladybug. As Chameleon, she took the appearance of Adrien to lure the superheroes but she was defeated (Chameleon (3.01)). One day, Lila pretended to fail a school test that she goes with Adrien to go to the Agreste mansion. By taking a selfie with the boy, she caused the akumatization of Kagami (Tomoe's daughter and Cerise's presumed sister) into Oni-Chan. During the chase, Lila (despite her anti-lies horn) managed to convince the akumatized girl to kill Ladybug in exchange of staying away from Adrien (that impressed Hawk Moth). And she was recruited by Gabriel Agreste who was also Hawk Moth) to to keep Adrien away from "bad influences" (Oni-Chan (3.08)). Another day, Lila made ChloƩ believe that she can summon Ladybug with a ritual dance (supposely allowing the blond brat to becope Queen Bee). So Hawk Moth could akumatize ChloƩ once the latter was ashamed enough to be fooled (Miraculer (3.09)). Some weeks later in the Hawk Moth One-year, Lila framed Marinette for a theft of school results and the Fox necklace. She even simulated a wound by claiming Marinette pushed her from the stairs (while the latter knew that's a lie). That made the bluenette being expelled from FranƧoise Dupont school for a while. And Adrien dealt with the brunette to make Marinette returning back to school (Ladybug (3.24)). She teamed up with ChloƩ who became an anti-Ladybug militant. Together, they plotted against Marinette to ruin her life in various sneaky ways. But it was Lila who was the mastermind behind these methods. Methods were disapproved by Sabrina (ChloƩ's lackey). They also planned against Ladybug and Cat Noir. In parallel, the brunette manipulated Kagami by making her that Marinette wasn't reliable as friend but Ladybug and Adrien reasoned the Tsurugi heiress (Perfection (5.12); Protection (5.16)). But when Lila failed to separate Marinette and Adrien, Gabriel fired her from his brand and replaced her by Kagami as the Alliance Rings' new model. That made the brunette enraged that she tricked him during an akumatization process (so she didn't let him know that she already knew his identity as Monarch). During her transformation into Hoaxer, she stole the Gabriel's secrets and, after rejecting the ultrakuma, she plotted to steal the Butterfly miraculous to Gabriel (Revelation (5.20)). Once Sabrina and Marinette exposed her deceitful nature and evil schemes to the entire school, she fled from the school and returned back to her Cerise form (Confrontation (5.21)). As Cerise, she adviced ChloƩ (unaware that Lila had many identities) with an earphone about how to cause Marinette's expellment and a pregnant Caline Bustier's firement. She even abetted her to be evil to make Gabriel convinced to designate the blond brat to become mayoress of Paris (after the AndrƩ Bourgeois' resignation) (Collusion (5.22)). She asked ChloƩ to listen the Monarch's deal to defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir and the spoiled brat was akumatized into Mayor Queen.
-Palpatine: "What a sense of deception. It remains to bend the Force for being complete. š"
-Chrysalis: "No need of this supernatural power from another galaxy, mister Palpatine. š"
After the ChloƩ's defeat, Cerise abandoned the former at her downfall and stole the Tomoe's tabloid in order of easily hacking the security system of the Agreste mansion (Revolution (5.23)). When the Bug Noire Vs Monarch happened in the mansion. Cerise (wearing another disguise) infiltrated the place under Tomoe's orders. The mistress of disguises managed to get the Butterfly miraculous after Gabriel made his suicide wish (at the Ladybug's and a revived Nathalie's unknownledge) (The Final Day (5.25-5.26)). While her role as Chrysalis just begun, the superliar already mistreated Nooroo by sequestrating the kwami in her lair (La Plage). She even paralyzes the creature by snapping her fingers. The evening after the Gabriel's disappearance, she akumatized herself into Timestalker in order to return back in the past to discover the Ladybug's identity. When this plan was succeeded, she akumatized herself into Spectral Looter to later steal all the Miraculouses that the guardian girl retrieved and to make her wish. And the wish was going to erase the entire universe and to destroy the time itself.
-Loki: "How thrilling. You're really a dangerous Midgardian witch, brat. But what is your wish ?"
-Chrysalis: "You will know nothing. š"
-Maleficent: "What a boldness. But about your time-travel plan, you have been backfired. š"
Meanwhile, Chronobug and Bunnyx interfered in her plan. And the golden-themed Ladybug (who was rescued by the Rabbit superheroine from the universe erasure) falsified the notebook by replacing her real name by "Gabriel Agreste". That cancelled the erasure (London Special).
From the beginning of the next school year (at the FranƧoise Dupont new school), she akumatized a lot of people. But unlike to Hawk Moth, she planned her akumatizations ahead by observing her upcoming targets and collecting informations about them. So she can akumatize them in right moment. She also throws Antikumas against the Miraculers (Ladybug's team) across their akumatized villains. Her akumatizations are distractions. She actually uses these incidents to try to catch the proof that Marinette is Ladybug (Vampigami (6.08)). Under her multiple disguises, she stalks Marinette, Adrien and her former classmates from the Miraclass (especially Marinette).
-Chrysalis: "I'm convinced that she's Ladybug."
-Aizen: "I think that you haven't fully told everything about your crimes."
-Chrysalis: "You know that I am manipulative. But you will see."
She lured Marinette's friends by sending fake letters to Max and Sabrina to distract them. About Max, she sent an anonymous "love letter" to him. And it was a trouble toward Pegasus (A Fairy Good Night (6.17)). She made Sabrina believe that ChloƩ sent a letter expressing remorses. But in reality, ChloƩ is still bad, selfish and bullyish who abused of her fame statue to spread mean videos and she never writes any gentle messages to people (Queen of the Dreadzone (6.24)). In alliance with her "mother" Tomoe, she tried to enslave FƩlix by trying to take his Amok ring for better discovering all the informations about the Miraculers (Yaksi Gozen (6.13)).
-Palpatine: "Interesting. But not sadistic enough. š¤"
-Chrysalis: "I akumatized Marinette Dupain-Cheng. š"
The Jury members are suddenly astonished. ššš®šÆš²š³š¦šØš¬š§
-Maleficent: "You accomplished that what Monarch failed. How have you made this ? šÆ"
-Chrysalis: "Three incompetent students asked me for help them to break up the romance between Marinette and Adrien."
Chrysalis sent an ultrakuma to the trio of bullies (Ray, Nelson and Loic) who hated the Adrienette couple. The trio asked her help to do their evil scheme. They are eventually akumatized into Couplewreckers. The three anti-love supervillains took the forms of Marinette, Nino and Adrien's randomous friends. They made believe to Adrien that Marinette cheated on him with Nino. Thus drove to the Adrienette couple break up. And Marinette fell into despair that Chrysalis akumatized her into Heartfixer. In fact, the Butterfly villainess wanted to get the information about Ladybug's identity from her prey. But Adrien (who previously discovered the akumatized bullies) came to rescue and reason his girlfriend. So he made her deakumatize herself at the Chrysalis' disappointment (Heartfixer (6.20)). But Chrysalis always keeps other hidden plans: like infiltrate the Dupain-Cheng family and gain their trust to better get Marinette's secrets (but it's coming soon).
-Chrysalis: "I never surrender anyways. š"
-Voldemort: "Very fun from a muggle girl with a magic brooch. š"
-Palpatine: "You should be my apprentice. š"
-Aizen: "I feel an eventual treason from the Jury in the future. š"
-Maleficent: "I am rethinking my opinion about you, Chrysalis."
-Chrysalis: "But before judging and voting my fate on the Contest. You must answer to my question: Who is really the greatest Villain among you ?"
-Palpatine: "Deadpool already did the trick on us but de won't fall on this ?"
-Chrysalis: "Of course not. I would mean: Who is the greatest one according to all yourselves, dear Jury members ? š"
In this moment, the Jury members glare at each other. A malicious Chrysalis feels their emotions from various villains. And theses are both mixed: suspicious š¤Ø, envious š , self-aware š, menacing š”, sneaky š, determined š, etc.
Palpatine, Loki and Aizen are actually the only ones to notice the Butterfly villainess' expression on her face š. Palpatine believes to have realized the reason of why Chrysalis asked this question.
-Palpatine (thinking): "You play with our emotions and our egos to better turn us all against each other. Amazing. š"
Can Chrysalis turn villains against each other ? See the post.
