Claw Noir (Miraculous)

Adrien original Civilian Life and Background: The Perfect Son: He works as the main model for his father Gabriel Agreste's prestigious fashion brand. He also practices fencing, Chinese, piano, and basketball. Overprotected: He spent almost his entire childhood confined to his luxurious mansion due to his father's strict control, so he greatly values ​​freedom and his school friends (especially Nino, his best friend). Marinette's Love Interest: He is Marinette Dupain-Cheng's main love interest, although for most of the series he is unaware of her feelings. Personality (Civilian vs. Hero): As Adrien: He is an extremely kind, polite, generous, and shy boy. He always tries to please others and avoid conflict, hiding his own sadness behind a perfect smile.

Original Marinette Civilian Life and Background: Designer and daughter of bakers: She lives in a beautiful bakery with her loving parents, Tom and Sabine. She is fascinated by fashion and has an incredible talent for sewing and designing her own clothes and accessories. Clumsy but determined: In her daily life, she is a very absent-minded, shy, and somewhat insecure girl, especially when she is around Adrien Agreste, the boy she is madly in love with and with whom she often stutters. Personality (Civilian vs. Heroine): As Marinette: She is extremely generous, loyal to her friends, and always willing to help others. However, she tends to get stressed easily, overthink things, and create overly complex plans.

The Streets of Paris (Re-Verse Version) The city's cityscape is completely changed by the dictator's regime: Gray skies: The city's atmosphere is often cloudy, cold, or has dark purple tones, eliminating the classic warm light of the original Paris. Graffiti and neglect: The walls of historical and iconic monuments show signs of abandonment, dirt, and graffiti of rebellion. Extreme surveillance: There is a pervasive atmosphere of constant oppression, where citizens live in fear of attacks by Shadybug and Claw Noir or of reprisals from the Supreme. Betterfly's lair: It is the center of operations for the resistance and an oasis of hope in the middle of the city. Luminous design: In contrast to Hawk Moth's gloomy lair, this place stands out for its white lights, silver tones, and peaceful atmosphere. The butterfly garden: It has a special space of living nature where Betterfly shelters and cares for her light butterflies (Kamikotas) before sending them out to help the citizens. The The Dupain-Cheng Bakery is still inspired by the famous real-life Boulangerie Boris Lumé, but with subtle differences: Rustic or drab style: The facade and surroundings look less cheerful. It's the place where the gothic Marinette spends her days alone. Adrien's vantage point: The street in front of the bakery is a key setting. It's where Adrien frequently parks his car to secretly watch Marinette through the windows. The dimensional portal (The Bridge of Dimensions): An empty and abstract setting that serves as a link between both worlds. It's the space generated by Ubiquity's powers where the two realities collide, allowing the original Ladybug and Cat Noir to cross over and intervene in the story. They live in Paris.

Ubiquity (Alya Césaire): A key ally of Betterfly. She uses her dimensional power to open portals between both worlds. Nino Lahiffe: An active member of the resistance who works alongside Alya to try to stop the chaos in their city.

Dictator of the Multiverse: He managed to seize almost all the Miraculous in his dimension and rules the entire Earth through fear and tyranny. Master of Shadybug and Claw Noir: He bestowed their magical jewels upon Marinette and Adrien. He forced them to swear absolute loyalty to him and work as his pawns to hunt down the resistance. Cruel and manipulative: He alters the rules of the Miraculous to suit his own purposes. He placed a "magical seal" that causes the kids physical pain when they use their powers, and completely blocked their ability to summon Gimmi to grant the Absolute Wish. His identity: He never shows his face in the Paris special.

Ladybug (Original) Personality: Compassionate, empathetic, highly intelligent, and a natural leader. Instead of attacking Shadybug, she uses understanding and a hug to save her from her pain. Clothing: Classic bright red spandex suit with black polka dots, matching mask, and two low pigtails with red ribbons. A clean, bright, and balanced style.

Cat Noir (Original) Personality: Optimistic, loyal, makes cat jokes, flirtatious, playful, and big-hearted. He tries to connect with Claw Noir by sharing the same grief over the loss of his mother, seeking to soothe his hatred. Clothing: Classic black cat suit, shiny gold bell around his neck, and simple boots. His blond hair is soft, and his cat eyes have naturally white sclera.

Her Powers and Tools: Instead of creating akumatized villains, Betterfly uses the Butterfly Miraculous for the greater good: Kamikotization: Instead of Akumas, she sends out light butterflies called Kamikotas. These butterflies don't feed on rage, but on hope and the desire to help. Granting Legitimate Superpowers: She uses her butterflies to grant temporary powers to ordinary citizens so they can defend themselves against Shadybug and Claw Noir or help the community. Her Scepter: Her weapon is a stylized white staff or scepter that she uses to channel her magic, defend herself in hand-to-hand combat, and store her light butterflies.

Personality and Motivations: A noble and altruistic hero: He is a compassionate man who actively fights for justice and freedom in his world. A grieving but loving father: He suffers deeply from his son Adrien's rejection. His greatest desire is not to alter reality out of selfishness, but to save his son from the Supreme's influence and regain his family's love. A pacifist and patient man: Even though Shadybug and Claw Noir constantly pursue him to take his Miraculous, he does not hate them; He pities them because he knows they are being manipulated and harmed by the Supreme Being. His Suit and Appearance: His design completely breaks with Hawk Moth's somber and military appearance, adopting an aesthetic inspired by light, nature, and classic magic: Bright Colors: He wears an elegant suit in shades of white, silver, and light blue, with details that simulate the texture of a butterfly's wings. Stylized Mask: His mask is bright silver in the shape of a real butterfly, leaving his eyes exposed, which convey kindness. Majestic Cape: He wears a large, white, translucent cape that resembles the wings of a monarch butterfly when spread.

Ubiquity (Alya Césaire from the Re-Verse): A key member of the resistance against the Supreme. Thanks to her powers, she is responsible for opening interdimensional portals that connect both realities. Nino Lahiffe (Re-Verse): A combative member of the resistance who works in sync with Alya to sabotage the dictator's plans and defend the civilians of Paris. The Supreme: The main, invisible antagonist of the dimension. He is a ruthless tyrant who hoards magic, enslaves Shadybug and Claw Noir, and, according to official clues, is the evil counterpart of Master Fu. The Original Universe (Classic Timeline) Monarch/Hawk Moth (Original Gabriel Agreste): The classic villain of the main series. He makes an appearance in the special by attempting to take advantage of the interdimensional chaos for his own selfish purposes. Nooroo: The kwami ​​of transmission. In this universe he does not suffer slavery, but works happily alongside Betterfly to grant heroic powers to good people. (Chloé Bourgeois) In the original universe, Marinette managed to overcome Chloé's bullying thanks to Alya's support. However, in the Reverse, Chloé Bourgeois tormented and bullied Marinette to an extreme degree. Having no friends to lean on, Marinette accumulated immense loneliness and resentment. This frustration and insecurity was what the Supreme Kai exploited to manipulate her and turn her into the villain Shadybug.

Tikki (The Corrupted Version) Tikki completely loses her sweetness and her role as a moral guide, becoming a shadowy being. Altered Appearance: Her eyes glow with an intense red hue and her body takes on a disheveled appearance, reflecting negative energy. Submissive to evil: She does not advise Marinette to do good. On the contrary, she accepts violence as the only path and channels the energy of the "Anti-Lucky Amulet" without resistance, knowing it will cause harm. Bound by pain: She is so afraid of the Ultimate's power that she prefers to see its wielder suffer physical pain rather than disobey orders to hunt Betterfly. Plagg (The aggressive version): Plagg abandons his lazy and fun-loving attitude to become a fierce, rude, and hostile kwami. Altered appearance: His eyes turn completely green with dark sclera (just like Claw Noir's), and his fangs and claws look sharper and more menacing. Feeds on resentment: Instead of calming Adrien, Plagg feeds on the boy's anger and resentment toward his father. He drives Adrien to use Cataclysm in a destructive and selfish way. Prisoner of fear: Although aggressive toward others, he is submissive to the Ultimate's rules. She acts on instinct for survival, neglecting Adrien's physical well-being in order to complete the mission. Their relationship and the final change: Being under the control of the villains, the beautiful connection and historic love that exists between Tikki and Plagg is broken in this universe; they don't act as a dynamic duo, but as cellmates forced to work together under threat.

Cost of using these tools: In their universe, using these weapons and activating their special powers (the Anti-Lucky Amulet and Cataclysm) comes at a price. Each time they use them, the tools absorb their life energy, sometimes causing them pain, which makes them somewhat unstable. (It leaves them with black scars, but they cover them with makeup.)

Marinette's Civilian Outfit (Gothic Version) In her everyday life, Marinette fully embodies the emo/gothic urban subculture of the 2000s: Jacket and Blouse: She wears a short, dark gray or black urban-style jacket. Underneath, she wears a basic white crew neck t-shirt. Pants: She wears tight-fitting dark pink or opaque purple pants with rips and tears above the knees and down the legs. Footwear: She replaces her classic ballet flats with tall black combat boots with gray soles. Accessories and Hairstyle: She wears black nail polish and very dark purple eyeshadow. Her hair is styled in two pigtails, but with longer, asymmetrical bangs that fall to the side, partially covering her left eye, and decorated with a pink streak.

Shadybug's Villain Suit: Her villainous suit perfectly balances red and black, achieving a much more aggressive, stylized, and dark look than the original Ladybug. The inverted pattern: The suit mixes sections. The torso (chest and back) is red with black spots. In contrast, the sleeves, shoulders, sides, and legs are black with red spots. Mask and collar: The mask covers her eyes symmetrically with red and black spots, but it's attached directly to the suit by a completely black turtleneck that also covers her chin. Footwear: She wears integrated boots with striking thick red platform soles, similar to Queen Bee's style. Hairstyle: Her hair isn't in the usual low pigtails, but rather styled in two high buns. Red ribbons hang from them, simulating the wings or antennae of a ladybug. Additionally, she has a very prominent bright red streak in her bangs and around the sides of her face. Makeup and face: Her eyes shine with an intense red hue, and she wears dark purple/mauve lipstick. Due to the pressure of using the Miraculous for evil, black veins sometimes appear on her face.

Claw Noir's Costume: His hero costume is a punk, aggressive, and militarized version of Cat Noir's classic outfit. Suit and Jacket: He wears a tight black suit covered by a short black leather jacket with a stand-up collar. The suit has a distressed, ripped texture and patches. Back Details: His jacket has a large neon green cat paw print symbol printed on the back. Mask and Eyes: His mask is a dark purple/black color, and his eyes turn completely green with dark sclera, giving him an intimidating appearance. Hair: His blond hair transforms into a bright neon green; it becomes long, messy, and very wild. Accessories: He wears a thick belt with metal studs (rivets), heavy combat boots with straps, gloves with sharp claws, and a dull, metallic bell around his neck. His fighting staff is completely black.

Adrien Agreste's civilian clothes: As a civilian, his clothing abandons light colors and adopts a gothic chic and melancholic style. Jacket: He wears a trench coat or long jacket in light gray or ash-white, with the collar turned up. Shirt: Under the jacket, he wears a plain black turtleneck t-shirt, eliminating the colorful stripes of the classic Adrien. Pants and shoes: He wears dark gray or black skinny jeans, accompanied by dark boots instead of his usual orange sneakers. Hairstyle: His hair is styled to the side with an asymmetrical cut (undercut style), with a long strand falling over part of his face, giving him a somber look (he is blond with green eyes). Makeup: He wears light dark eyeshadow or eyeliner around his eyes to highlight his sad and cold gaze.

Resentful and distant towards his father: He harbors a deep resentment towards Gabriel Agreste. He cannot bear to see how his father moved on with his life and "got over" Émilie's death so quickly, which destroyed their family relationship. Deeply depressed and miserable: He lives immersed in sadness and loneliness after losing his mother. He is so consumed by grief that he has become cold, apathetic, and emotionally closed off from the rest of the world. Secretly a hopeless romantic and observant: Curiously, he develops a strong attraction to the Marinette Dupain-Cheng of his universe (who is a goth and edgy girl). Although they have never spoken in person, he often stops his car in front of the bakery just to gaze at her from afar with admiration. Naive about danger: Although he is cold, he shares with his father a dangerous naiveté about the consequences of altering reality. He doesn't grasp the true danger or the destructive cost of using the Miraculous to fulfill his wish. Vulnerable and empathetic at heart: his cold exterior cracks when he sees the suffering of others. When he notices Shadybug's real pain or sees others suffering the same emptiness as him, he shows a glimmer of compassion, proving that he's not a heartless monster, but a deeply wounded boy.

Claw Noir, the villainous counterpart of Adrien Agreste in the Re-Verse (the alternate universe of the Miraculous series), is known for his cold and distant personality, though this isn't the case with Shadybug. Marked by the loss of his mother, Emilie, his attitude stems from isolation and grief. His main traits include: Coldness and isolation with almost everyone except Shadybug: He is a solitary character who trusts no one, including his own father and his partner Shadybug. During battles, he seeks to injure and destroy everything in his path. He is reckless, capable of forcing others to attack him. A dynamic of betrayal: His relationship with Shadybug is far from that of a team. He doesn't hesitate to try to steal her Miraculous at any opportunity. Unlimited but costly powers: Lacking restrictions on his Miraculous, he can use Cataclysm without limit. However, this causes him side effects (black veins on his neck and face). Obsession: Curiously, he develops a strange fixation on the kind version of Marinette. Jokes with sarcasm and mockery: He doesn't make innocent jokes or cute puns. His humor is sarcastic, acidic, and heavy-handed. He mainly uses it to annoy Shadybug, make her nervous, or mock his civilian enemies. Self-centered jokes: He loves to make ironic comments about how "perfect" or superior he thinks he is compared to others, using laughter as a mask to hide how miserable he feels inside. Crude nicknames: He invents derogatory and mocking nicknames like "little bug" or "cockroach" to annoy her during fights. He maintains the cat puns: Although he's evil, he's still a holder of the Cat Miraculous! By pure instinct, he still throws out feline jokes and puns (like "tonight I have claws" or "beware the kitty"), but said in a threatening, cynical, and rude tone. (He doesn't love Shadybug; the only one he loves is Marinette.)
