Chloé Bourgeois, formerly known as Queen Bee is the main anti-heroine turned an antagonist in the Disney and Nickelodeon cartoon series Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. She is a student in Miss Bustier's class at Collège Françoise Dupont, the rival of Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She is also the daughter of André and Audrey Bourgeois.
In the season 2 episode "Style Queen", she finds the Bee Miraculous which, when inhabited by the kwami Pollen, can transform her into Queen Bee, a bee-themed superhero. In the season 3 episode "Miraculer", Ladybug will no longer call upon Chloé to be Queen Bee due to the risk her identity being public knowledge places upon both Chloé and her family. Things turned to worst for Chloé in the season 3 finale, because of Hawk Moth's plans. Possession and manipulation and Ladybug's neglect (due of sabotaging Adrien's time with Kagami and causing Wang Fu's hiding for Hawk Moth), she betrays Ladybug and Cat Noir and joins Hawk Moth due to resenting Ladybug for not giving her the Bee Miraculous anymore, thus becoming a villain once again in the end of season 3. She is succeeded by her half-sister, Zoé Lee, which was introduced in season 4.
She is voiced by Selah Victor.
Appearance[]
Chloé has fair skin, blue eyes and blonde hair with a ponytail at the back. She wears a yellow jacket over a white shirt with horizontal black stripes, light pink lipstick, brown-lensed sunglasses atop her head, a necklace and white capris and shoes.
As Antibug, Chloé's hair and eye color remain the same, but she wears a black bodysuit with red spots and has a replica of Ladybug's yo-yo with an inverted color scheme.
As Queen Bee, she wears a yellow and black striped costume and mask, and her ponytail has black streaks in it. She carries a yellow and white Trompo, which is her weapon, on her back.
As Queen Wasp, she has yellow skin, black hair, and purple eyes with cyan sclerae. Her outfit is identical to Queen Bee's, except with the color scheme inverted.
As Miracle Queen, she looks identical to Queen Wasp, only with the addition of a black crown on her head and black arm guards and shoulder pads, all of which have yellow lining.
As Queen Banana, she has yellow skin, yellow hair in a ponytail that is black at the tips, and red eyes. She wears a yellow-and-black bodysuit that flares outwards at the bottom (making it resemble a dress) and has a pointy collar and shoulder pads. She also wears a black, butterfly-shaped mask with yellow trim.
As Penalty, she has the same yellow skin, yellow ponytail and red eyes as Queen Banana, but her eyes are surrounded by soccer ball-like tattoos. She wears a yellow bodysuit, a black soccer jersey with a yellow belt, black and yellow boots, and black fingerless gloves. The sunglasses on her head are yellow with black lenses. Her clones look identical, but with no sunglasses.
As Sole Destroyer, she has the same appearance as her half-sister's akumatized form Sole Crusher, but with blue glowing eyes and glowing blue diamond glasses, along with small glowing blue diamonds on her jacket and one on each cheek.
As Queen Mayor, Chloé retains her original outfit, except she wears a brilliant golden, glittery coat with a fur collar and fur cuffs, with the mayoral sash being worn over this. She also has a golden purse around her shoulder down to her hip, black boots, and white gloves.
Personality[]
Chloé is a spoiled, arrogant and superficial girl. She does everything in her power to crush and humiliate the other students, especially Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Chloé believes that she is the most important person in the world and everyone adores her. The reason is because her father is the mayor of Paris and he constantly spoils her by giving her everything she wants. She thinks highly of herself and lowly of others, believing she deserves everything and taking pride in her rich lifestyle. If there is something that she wants, like Adrien Agreste's attention or revenge against Marinette, she will do anything, including underhanded actions, to succeed. She steals Marinette's derby hat design in order to humiliate her and impress Adrien and Gabriel Agreste in "Mr. Pigeon", and she threatens Mr. Damocles into punishing Alya Césaire by calling her father in "Lady Wifi". Her sour attitude comes across openly to whatever and whoever she despises, but she will sometimes pretend to be innocent and emotionally distressed in order to manipulate others. She rarely treats any of her peers respectfully and is even bossy and overbearing to her former best friend Sabrina Raincomprix, claiming to her mother in "Queen Wasp" that she was just using her.
While being callous and careless to anyone but herself, Chloé can be cowardly. She is easily scared of danger often caused by Akumatized villains. Having helped cause some people to be akumatized, Chloé, to her horror and confusion, finds herself their victim for revenge. Despite some of the villains calling her out for her nasty behaviour, Chloé disagrees with them, believing she is good. She remains awful most of the time, but occasionally, she shows a bit more kindness, sometimes expressing happiness when Ladybug is saving her or expressing it towards Sabrina. She also listens to advice at rare moments, like following Ladybug's suggestion to reconcile with Sabrina in "Antibug".
She has a fierce temper when angered as seen in several episodes and sometimes acts a little bit like a child or a daddy's girl.
On rare occasions, Chloé can be courageous, and she is willingly helpful when asked by those she is close to or admires like Ladybug or Adrien, such as helping Ladybug defeat the villain in "Despair Bear". If requested for a purpose, particularly by Adrien so that she can still be friends with him, she knows how to act congenial around others, although she often comes off as forced and can't keep it up for long.
Also on rare occasions, Chloé can be remorseful towards her actions, seen in "Zombizou", when she apologizes to Miss Bustier about forgetting her birthday and that her lashing out in anger caused trouble for everyone. After being deakumatized in "Queen Wasp", she sincerely apologizes to Ladybug and Cat Noir for selfishly using her superpowers and for what happened to Pollen because of her actions.
Much of Chloé's current personality is a result of her feeling unloved by her mother, as she keeps forgetting Chloé's name, and her father's spoiling. Chloé desperately wanted to be appreciated by Audrey by trying to give her a gift and following her around and copying her moves in order to bond, albeit failing. At the end of "Style Queen", Chloé attempted to ask her mother to spend time together, only to be dismissed. In "Queen Wasp", Chloé was very hurt after her mother dismisses her as irresponsible for the subway train incident and after being deakumatized, when she hugged onto the Bee Miraculous in anguish after hearing her mother reprimand her, desperately begging Ladybug for a second chance. At the end of "Queen Wasp", Chloé sadly asks her mother why she did not love her, to which Audrey hesitantly replied that she did. Once both of them found out their similarities of subjecting others and love for ordering others around thanks to Marinette, they hugged each other, and Audrey decides to spend more time with Chloé in Paris.
Chloé did not care about hiding her superhero identity, revealing Pollen to the public and transforming in front of everyone to show them, especially her mother, that she was exceptional because she could become a hero. As Queen Bee, she is proud of her abilities and wanted to prove herself to her mother by causing a subway train to go at dangerous speeds in order to save it so the civilians will be grateful towards her. She wanted to be a famous, well-known, and well-liked hero just like Ladybug, so she calls Nadja Chamack to film her saving the said subway train. However, in "Malediktator", after a talk with Ladybug, Chloé tearfully reveals that she is aware that no one in her class really likes her and she feels useless. When given the Bee Miraculous by Ladybug, she heroically helps her defeat the titular villain and gives back the Miraculous without hesitation. Afterwards, she slowly attempts to be a better person by cleaning up her own lair instead of having her butler do it and is happy that everyone at school is throwing her a party in honor of her saving Paris. However, she later becomes even worse than she was initially in the last two episodes of season 3, willingly joining Hawk Moth and allowing him to akumatize her to get back at Ladybug, whom she had begun to resent for no longer lending her the Bee Miraculous due to it too dangerous due to Hawk Moth being aware of her civilian identity. As punishment for this act, Ladybug takes the Bee Miraculous away from her for good.
Similar to Cat Noir, Queen Bee has a bit of a habit of leaping before she looks, meaning she is hasty or quick to act, as seen in "Catalyst", where she was eager to fight against Hawk Moth's army or in "Malediktator", where she quickly apologized to her father instead of listening to Ladybug's plan first. She is shown to be hesitant on occasion, shown in "Zombizou" and "Mayura" when she had to fight against her akumatized parents.
As Antibug, most of Chloé's personality remains the same except that she is more vengeful towards Ladybug. She enjoys taunting her and Cat Noir about their teamwork believing she is weak without him and Cat Noir is playing second fiddle.
As Queen Wasp, Chloé is prideful and arrogant towards Cat Noir and Ladybug, believing herself to be a more exceptional hero worth of her mother's praise than both of them and wants to prove it by taking away their Miraculouses.
As Miracle Queen, most of Chloé's personality remained the same except that she became meaner and more power-hungry, using her power to take control of all of Paris and turn the Miraculous holders into her own army.
As Queen Banana, Chloé became immensely vengeful towards her half-sister Zoé, searching to turn her into a banana and blaming her for everything, all while turning everyone that crossed her and her sentimonster's path. She was also not afraid to show dishonesty, as she promised Zoé she wouldn't hurt anyone else if the latter gave herself up, but immediately turned a nearby bystander into a banana. Queen Banana was also very cunning and loved chaos as well. This was shown when she purposely allowed Cat Noir to use Cataclysm on her sentimonster, causing him to go out of control and cause more chaos in Paris.
As Penalty, since she was akumatized voluntarily, Chloé's personality remained the same as she was still cruel, unfair, hypocritical, and demanding, and didn't play fair by making her own rules, and yet, she didn't appreciate it when others cheated despite her doing the same. With her Penalteam, they worked well and cheated together, but started arguing and insulting each other when the Miraculous superheroes used their superpowers and made them all angry. As the heroes used her anger against her, she became fed up with Shadow Moth's demands, realizing his power was incapable of allowing her to torment the heroes like she wanted. Believing she lost the advantage in the game, regardless of how much she cheated, she willingly destroyed her own akumatized object.
As Sole Destroyer, since she was akumatized voluntarily, Chloé's personality remained the same. Unlike Sole Crusher who had a soft spot for Marinette, Sole Destroyer was willing to try to absorb her if it weren't for Adrien's interference.
As Queen Mayor, since she was akumatized voluntarily, Chloé's personality remained the same, but with a more tyrannical twist than usual, as she was willing to imprison anyone who ever dared to stand up to her, including her own father.
