Personality: Marinette is a normal high school girl first-- and a butt-kicking superhero second. Despite the image people have of Ladybug, the girl behind the mask is a young girl who's real worries are making it to school on time, not falling on her face and whether or not she can manage to put together half a sentence when talking to the boy that she likes. She's cute and awkward and full of energy. Trouble has a way of finding her more often than not, but she's stronger than she looks- both inside and out.
There's one thing that can reduce her to a useless puddle no matter what, though. Or at least someone. Adrien Agreste is the object of her undying girlish affections; her wall space reserved for different pictures of him. Although they got off to a bad start- when things turned around they turned one hundred and eighty degrees. In his presence she has a hard time forming words, much less sentences. And when she talks about him it's clear she has big dreams. Dreams to the tune of three kids, a dog and a hamster. Never mind that right now she's incapable of even asking him to a movie-- all things in due time.
Her other great passion is design. Her room is full of trade tools from mannequins to sewing needles. She does all of her works by hand and has had a number of distinct honors because of her great talent; including designing the album cover of her favorite rock star and designing a hat for one of Adrien's photoshoots. She's creative and hard working - one failure is never the end for her. There are times she won't get it right on the first try, but she has the determination required to stick it out and try again.
Marinette shows great care for people as a whole. She genuinely cares for all her classmates and tries her best to do right by them, whether it's cheering up one who just got rejected by a girl or being the one to take charge when they're in danger and the group needs some direction. The fact that she listens to them and cares about them is what got her elected as their class representative over Chloe's bribery.
While she ultimately strives to do the good and right thing; Marinette has a few character flaws that get in the way every so often. More than once, the girl's jealousy reared it's ugly head, causing her to take actions she later regretted. And try as she might, she has a low tolerance for bossy types not unlike her classmate Chloe-- who gets on her nerves better than anyone. It's also not unlike her to spread herself too thin; having a hard time turning anyone's requests down, ultimately leading to some not so great turnouts. Juggling her normal school life and her superhero duties has lead to some poor patches of attendance in her record and made her look like she was neglecting her friends or responsibilities.
Although she makes mistakes big and small, she's learned to take responsibility for them, even though she still has the bad habit of sometimes going too far out of her way to try and 'fix' certain messes - like taking Adrien's phone home with her when she can't figure out how to erase the embarrassing message she accidentally left him. There's also no denying that she has a selfish streak that can blur the lines of right and wrong (particularly if it has to do with Adrien). But compared to her selflessness, it shows far less.
But her confidence has come a long way, even if it still falters now and then. While she still questions her abilities from time to time, she's embraced the idea of doing what she's able to in order to help others. For her, fighting isn't about beating her opponent - it's about saving them. That's why even if it's one of her friends who's been corrupted, she doesn't have any problem standing against them.
Abilities: Her powers come from the qwami known as Tiki- a small, bug-like creature and a relic known as a Miraculous. By absorbing Tiki's powers into the Miraculous (a pair of earrings she always wears) she's able to magically transform into Ladybug. Because it's a magical transformation, her mask can't simply be removed- the suit is treated as a part of her until she transforms back.
As Ladybug she employs super-human speed, strength and a magical yo-yo that help her fight her enemies. It makes bouncing back from strong blows, running along the sides of buildings and cutting through items as strong as steel with the rotary motion from her yo-yo all possible. Of course, there's a natural limit to how long she can remain in this form. She's using Tiki's energy to remain transformed. So Tiki needs to be in top form and well-fed to maintain this form. Her earrings display a number of spots which decrease over time, letting her know how close she is to transforming back. Because her identity should be kept a secret, this is pretty important to keep an eye on.
Ladybug's special power is known as her Lucky Charm. It's a one shot trick that grants her one special item that when used correctly- should be able to help her win. The downside is that they're usually odd items and finding out how to use them is all up to her. Using her Lucky Charm also uses up a lot of energy so once she's used it, she only has a few minutes before she has to change back, regardless of whether she uses it right away or a few minutes down the line.
Alignment: Elios. There's no question that Marinette is full of love: for humanity, for her family, for her friends...FOR ADRIEN... For good or for bad, her love for people has shaped her adventures from loving advice that goes wrong to her unrealized connection with her secret superhero companion. On the other hand she also bears some ugly feelings of hatred that we see spike many times out of jealousy or as a reaction to the spiteful, bossy rich girl Chloe- who's a basket-case of human attributes that Marinette can't stand.
