I’ve previously mentioned that if I were to do a reboot of Miraculous, I would have the heroes spending the season 5 searching for lost miraculous across the world. However, there would be several lost miraculous found prior to season 5.

Swan- Since it would be a little contrived for all the miraculous out in circulation during the Temple’s destruction to all come from the same miracle box, I think there should be a Swan miraculous, which came from a different miracle box and wound up in an antique shop. I think the Kwamis’ name would be Odette.  I have candidates in mind in regards to who would get their hands on it. The first candidate is Chloe. While I’m sure Marinette would appreciate Chloe trying to become a better person, I don’t see Chloe being Ladybug’s first choice to give a miraculous to. Thus, I felt it would make more sense for Chloe to get her hands on a miraculous by unknowingly buying one at antique shop (perhaps as a gift for her mom only for Audrey to reject the present without even opening it) with the miraculous being a special glass box with the shop owner instructing Chloe to be careful when opening it. If it’s Chloe wielding the Swan, then I would definitely want her to have a ballet motif and maybe call herself Odile (because the name Odette is taken by her kwami). The 2nd candidate would be Lila. If so, then instead using it to immediately become a villain, she instead uses it to become Ladybug’s rival (as I have suggested before). I can also see her using the name Odile.

Rabbit- In this universe, the rabbit Miraculous was out in circulation and was wielded by Alix’s something-great grandmother on her father’s side. However, just prior to Fu creating Feast, a sorcerer trapped Fluff in a magic stone a teleported the stone away. It will be established in season 2 when MArinette notices and empty compartment in the Miracle Box. Sometime during season 3, the heroes suspect that Alix’s pocket watch maybe the missing Rabbit Miraculous, ask if they can borrow it, and use a special tracking potion to track down the trapped and missing Fluff, leading them to the Lourve, where they find the stone Fluff was trapped in. Ladybug and Chat explain the situation to the Lourve employees (sans Alim, who is taking mental health day), who give them permission to use cataclysm on the stone, freeing Fluff. They then give the rabbit miraculous to Alix, just in time for deal with an akumatized Alim. 

Scarab- speaking of the Kubdels, I propose having Jalil’s pendant turn out to be the Scarab Miraculous. Similar the rabbit, Scarab miraculous was being wielded by another one of Alix and Jalil’s ancestors, but one on their mother’s side instead. The Scarab hero as the time was a teammate if the rabbit hero at the time, so when Fluff was trapped in the stone, Scarab Kwami flew to to temple to get help from the guardians while the the Scarab and Rabbit heroes waited back in Egypt with their now Kwami-less miraculous. When the Scarab Kwami made it to the temple, it was the same night Fu created Feast, and the Scarab Kwami got eaten by Feast and got trapped in the magic bubbles in Feasts stomach until Ladybug and the other heroes defeated Feast decades later. Meanwhile the Scarab miraculous began to be passed down through the Scarab hero’s descendents (who did not know its true nature because she died not long after her Kwami’s disappearance) with Jalil being the latest to wear it after his deceased mother. Upon Feast’s defeat, the Scrab Kwami flies to where they sense their miraculous and winds up meeting Jalil 

Bat- Two possibilities- Either this is the Felix’s miraculous for the first three seasons and he uses it to play the part fo the edgy rival (but compared to Lila he’s more of a friendly rival to the heroes and is more like an aloof ally) until he learns Hawk Moth’s identity and motivation, leading to Felix to betray the heroes and the ensuing battle has a bunch kwami shuffling and fusing and during this scuffle, he lose the bat miraculous (while gaining the bee before fleeing with the other villains, only to lose the bee as well because whichever hero was wielding the dog during the battle managed to hit the bee miraculous with their ball), or it gets badly damaged during the battle and the ingredients for fixing it are harder to find than the ingredients for fixing the peacock. So Gabriel decides to give him the now-repaired peacock miraculous Or this is the miraculous Lila finds and uses to become Ladybug’s rival if it’s not the Swan.

1- Evolution- Gabriel plans to use the rabbit to go back in time to stop Emilie from using the damaged Peacock. However, once he is so confused by Fluff’s description of how time travel works, that Gabriel goes “fuck it, I’ll just akumatize Mr. Kubdel and give him the rabbit. Maybe he’ll have easier time following how time travel works.” So he somehow manages to akumatize Alim (as mentioned in some of my previous posts, he could do this by framing Alim for being Hawk Moth and backlash leaves Alim understandably stressed out enough to get akumatized); I just remembered reading that this will actually be the season the “character from the future” Wilfried Pain mention will appear in when he initially claimed said character would appear in season 4 (I guess the the future character was initially planned to appear to in season 4 but changes in the plans forced them to push this character back to season 5 similar to what happened with the Agreste kitchen), so this may be the episode this future character will appear in. 

2- Multiplication- Mr. Ramier becomes Monsieur Rat (Pretty sure I’m not the first person to think “oh so this is how Ramier becomes Monsieur Rat” after Gabriel got his hands on the mouse as I’m recall seeing at least 1 other person implicitly suggest this) 

3- Destruction- As I mentioned in an ask for @princess-of-the-corner

I predict that in this episode, Peacock!Felix will make a sentimonster that coincidentally looks like Chat Blanc, who then goes on a rampage across Paris (possibly kidnapping some of the exposed heroes for ransom) and causing Ladybug to have a panic attack, which in turn leads to Ladybug telling Chat Noir about the Chat Blanc timeline after Chat Noir helps her calm down  

Canon Power: Burrow (time travel)

Reasons to keep it this way 1) heroes already have a way to deal with a time traveling super-villain if need be 2) it can be hard to think of a new power that both fits Alix and the fact that the rabbit miraculous is a watch 

3) could allow for a running gag where time distortions randomly appear, and Bunnyx has to casually goes deal with it offscreen (possibly taking some other heroes with her, which could be a handy way to write certain temp heroes out of a certain episodes once they do away with the “Ladybug and Chat Noir are the only ones allowed to keep their miraculous full-time after Feast), and if Adrien goes “we’ve never had to deal with time distortions before,” Fluff goes “it only seemed that way because you were never in my presence.”

4) depending on how time travel works here (right now I am leaning towards a mix of multiverse theory and stable time loop), it could lead to a fun scene where Bunnyx shows up asking for a hero (possibly her past self) to come with her a moment and later revealed that it was to give hero sort-of future self an alibi when Hawk Moth begins to suspect the idendites of said hero

5) my plans for Alix’s hero debut involve her dad getting akumatized, and based on my plans regarding the context of said akumatization, I’m not sure if I can justify NOT giving him time travel travel powers (except maybe the ability to bring memories or phots or home videos to life) 

Reasons to change it

1) Time travel can be a pain to write. 

2) might make it harder to justify allowing Alix to directly participate in battles (though as @cornerverse  pointed out, Bunnyx would still have an umbrella, and that could allow Bunnyx to be an example of the “fight like a normal” trope 

Suggestions for new powers one could change it to in either a fanfic or an official reboot in the future  1) inducing flashbacks- works in a similar Burrow does in canon, but the portals takes you into what is a basically a flashback instead of actually taking back or forward in time. I would probably add in a caveat that the flashback will automatically ends if the rabbit user is about to learn the identity of another miraculous user (the Doylist reason being to explain why they can’t use it to learn Hawk Moth’s identity, the Watsonian reason being that mage designed it this way in case the rabbit miraculous fell into the wrong hands)
