My Tumblr Miraculous Ladybug Prompts

Chapter 55: Miraculousless Hero

Chapter Text

Here's another au prompt for Miraculous. This one is similar to my Hero Before the Miraculous prompt but different.

In this au, Marinette doesn't get a Miraculous for whatever reason you choose, Lila or Chloe stealing it, accidentally losing it, or Master Fu just going with someone else. However, she does have a secret she's been keeping from everyone. It's that she has powers.

Marinette hated her powers and just wanted to have an ordinary life. However, that idea seems to end not because she gets a Miraculous, but because her new classmate, Alya, learns about Marinette's powers when the girl uses them to save Alya. Unlike what Marinette expected, Alya is excited at the prospect of her new friend having powers and convinces Marinette to become a hero like the Miraculous wielders with them.

So now, Paris not only has Team Miraculous trying to protect them. They also have a person with powers trying to help to throw a wildcard in the mix. Someone that Gabriel specifically wants to Akumatize to make the strongest Akuma possible, and someone who catches Master Fu's interest.

A bonus thing you can do is give Lila powers as well. Specifically mental-based ones that give a reason for her lies being so easily believed.

Another fun idea is that you can mix this with the Scarlet Lady and Rival aus by having Alya primarily dedicate her blog to her best friend Marinette instead of Scarlet Lady, causing Chloe to get jealous and try to one-up Marinette's hero persona. That can open the way for a redemption story for Chloe if you want.
