I would like to ask; with Apprentice AU. I assume a shadow still requires an "amok object". And you said Adrien is still a shadow, but because of the LB M., he can be a real deal. But you said Gabriel felt a hint of shadow in him, so it's still has a small trace. I would wonder, did she used her ring? Does Adrien has amok object in that AU, or when using LB and Pc, it doesn't need one? If it still, destroying the ring would not kill him, taking what you said so far this fusion power, but would it still effect him ? (Also, not having the LB, what's up with FƩlix and Kagami?!) uuuuuh! I just got triggered by the idea that FƩlix and Kagami being shadows, being puppeted ...! Maybe after Colt passing, Amillie not fully understood the deal why FƩlix just standing there... But one day she took on the ring, and his "son" returned. So, going by what she assumed happened to Adrien (maybe she was the only one Emillie told it, as her confidental, so she think he is too living.
Kagami too, she would be literally just the face of the company, as Tomoe is loud about she will be the air of her company (meanwhile she only looking for someone who csn take over controlling Kagami, as the real head of the operation.)
No, they would not be living beings here, for example, Kagami -to keep the "real kid" image- would be told to "ackt normal", but the main thing she would do is mirror the behavior of her surounding!
*side tension; I love this idea, becsuse "kagami" translstes to mirror, and mirroring the surounding's behaviour is a basik instincts, so would work perfectly well. Would even make sence she is a perfect student, as she literally copies the right anwser, because the teacher already told it previously!š
And she would still "ackt" distant, but would be popular how agreeable this is... Again, mirror, as mirroring her companion's behavior, and that is often a complimenting thing... "Copying is the highest form of admirarion, after all! (I translated this saying by my head, so might be incorrectš
)
I know this might not be true and they would be actual peaple in the story, but I really like the idea of these hadows and their "personalities" be literally just mirrors and projections of others... I love human psycheš
Few questions about Apprentice Au. shadows;
Can they exist as long as the object isn't dammaged or the peacock doesn't remove the feather, right ? They don't disapear by default at detransformation?
And only function under direct order, right? They became dorment, when not puppeted?
Would they be still active if nobody posessed their object and control their actions, but still have a previous, unfinished task? Or they can operate toward an objective as long as it's either unfinished, they get an other command or told to stop?
Okay, major spoilers for Miraculous Apprentice ahead, so if yāall donāt want those, DONāT READ THIS! Anyways, with that being said, letās get into this:
So to answer the question about AdrienāHe was not made with an object to house his amok. Since it is a fusion with the Ladybug miraculous, he himself is the āobjectā housing the amok, which acts as his emotional core and holds his body together.
As for Felix and Kagami, Youāre half right on both counts: Kagami is a normal human, (though I do think your idea sounds pretty neat, itās not the direction I ended up going,) but Felix is a Shadow. However, he was the first Shadow created using the broken Peacock miraculous, and so some of the power of the Ladybug had transferred during the creation of Adrienāas a result, Felix is partially autonomous. For most of the time he is the perfect Persona/Shadow for his mother, and acts as he was made to. Every once in a while, however, his mind becomes human and sentient, enough for him to understand what he is and know there is something deeply wrong with him. Unlike most shadows, he can still act and think without someone else controlling his amok. In essence, he is more or less what Sentimonsters are in the cannon show, rather than how they usually work in the Apprentice universe. His goal in the beginning of the show is to claim the peacock miraculous and use it to fix himself. When that doesnāt work, he turns villain and teams up with Chrysalis to capture the other miraculous, in hopes of finding a way to do with them what the Peacock could not. (And yes, Chrysalis would ABSOLUTELY abuse his Amok and use it to make Felix do what she wants.) Eventually he decides to embrace his human half rather than the half that is a shadow, and decides that fixing himself means being freed from his amok.
Felix has been a really fun character to write for me. Iām leaning towards having a mixture of the dragon, Peacock and Black Cat being the power combination that finally frees him from his connection to the ring, since that would pay a nice homage to the senti-kid trio from cannon. (I think it would be cute if Chat, Ryuko and Argos together broke the connection together.) :) In this case, Adrien understands what it feels like to see yourself as less than human, and Kagami understands how it feels to have others in control of your life and have all your decisions made for you.
So yeah, hopefully thatās insightful. :)
