| “ | After the wish, all I could find was the double wedding ring along with the Miraculouses that Monarch had turned them into rings and Cat Noir's and mine. I transformed into Aqua Bug and searched the basement but nothing. Even after repairing everything, it is as if the brooch had disappeared. But whatever happens, we'll be ready. When Monarch seized my yo-yo, he suddenly gained access to the Miraculouses all at once. This can never happen again, which is why I'll remain the Guardian but only to support and help my fellow heroes. From now on, each holder will be responsible for their Miraculous and their kwami. To be ensured that power will be used for the greater good, it needs to be shared. | „ |

Marinette Dupain-Cheng, known as Ladybug is one of the two titular main protagonists of Miraculous Ladybug. She is a student in Collège Françoise Dupont. With her Miraculous, inhabited by a kwami named Tikki, she has the power of good luck and can transform into the superhero Ladybug.
In season 3 of the episode "Reflekdoll", she receives the Cat Miraculous from Plagg, which, when inhabited by him, can transform her into Lady Noire, a cat-themed superhero for a mix-up and receives the Mouse Miraculous from Master Fu, which, when inhabited by Mullo, can transform her into Multimouse, a mouse-themed superhero.
She is voiced by Cristina Vee.
Appearance[]
Marinette is a quarter Italian, a quarter French, and half-Chinese. She has vivid azure eyes, light scarlet lipsticks, freckles, and black hair with blue highlights that she usually wears back in two pigtails with red bands.
As a civilian, she wears a dark gray dress blazer with sleeves and a collar that are white with pink polka dots and outlined with black. Underneath, she wears a white t-shirt with a black collar and sleeve line, and a design below the collar with black leaves and pink flowers. Also, she has pink jeans and very reddish-brown soled light pink ballet shoes. She wears earrings that are black when not holding Tikki.
As Ladybug, she wears a red ladybug-themed superhero black turtleneck collared jumpsuit with black spots. Above her hips, she wears her yo-yo around them with the string, and she wears a red mask with black spots. Her earrings become red with five black spots, and the bands holding her hair back become red ribbons. Her hair and her eyes become slightly bluer.
As Lady Noire, she wears a black collared suit and cat ears with green lining. Her hair turns a blueish-black and grows a braid at the back, and the sclera of her eyes turn green. She also wears a black mask.
As Multimouse, she wears a gray and pink bodysuit with black gloves and a gray and pink mask. On her neck, she wears the Mouse necklace. She also has a jump rope around her waist that serves as a "tail". When she unifies other Kwamis with Mullo, the pink parts on her suit and mask change color to reflect it.
In the Season 5 finale, "The Final Day", as Bug Noire, her bodysuit is a hybrid of her appearance as Ladybug and Lady Noire, sporting red, green, and black on it. She still wears her Ladybug domino mask, which remains unchanged, save for a slight adjustment over the bridge of her nose to accompany the Lady Noire design, and her headband with the cat ears, now sporting red on the back of them with the green highlights and black, but her eyes become green with four black dots around the main pupil, styled like on her yo-yo, her pigtails become long and braided, but become only half as long as her main one as Lady Noire, which she also keeps, giving her three pigtails, and her yo-yo becomes black with green spots while also sporting the staff provided by the Cat Miraculous with a red pawprint on it. The polka dots on her suit either remain black on the red areas of the suit, or become green on the black areas of the suit. Because of her and Cat Noir unlocking the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous' full powers in "Revolution", Marinette is able to fight Gabriel Agreste/Monarch at her full strength, using the full powers of the Miraculous of Creation and Miraculous of Destruction to defeat him.
When she becomes Chronobug in "Miraculous London", her suit is a mixture of black and yellow, possibly to help tell her apart from the other past Marinette/Ladybug/Bug Noire she encounters while trying to stop Lila/Cerise from finding out her identity, maybe also due to the life vest she was given by Bunnyx to help avoid Bunnyx confusing her for another Marinette during their attempts to stop Lila/Cerise. The spots/polka dots also become reflective, like mirrors, and illuminate when in darkened areas.
Starting in Season 6 under the new Unreal Engine animation style, Ladybug's suit now sports a slightly-overhauled appearance to her modified suit from the SAMG animation style in Seasons 4 and 5. The ends of her pigtails now fade from blue to red, and she looks slightly older.
Her civilian appearance as Marinette is also heavily overhauled under the new animation style as well in regards to her everyday clothing.
