Chapter Text
I’m really proud of this prompt and think it’s my favorite one so far out of all the prompts I’ve made.
So the events in Origins are full of a lot of questions. Miraculous Ladybug was already full of these questions.
Questions like, why didn’t Gabriel use an Akuma to heal his sick wife or go back in time to prevent it? How did he know the Miraculous were around?
Also, Master Fu sent out the Miraculous before even seeing what this Butterfly Wielder would do. Now, Wayzz did say that a negative aura had the Miraculous. However, negative is an extremely broad term, in my opinion. You can be a person with negative traits/aura but still, be a good person in different ways.
Examples
Someone who is often dishonest, however, they usually use this on people who are jerks to others.
Someone who hates most people but loves their family and friends more than anything.
So, here is my idea for a different Butterfly User to replace Gabriel.
The person is someone whose family was wronged by the rich and powerful. Whether it’s Andre doing something to their family business because Chloe wanted something, Bob Ross ruining their parents' musical career, Audrey firing them for a petty thing. It’s your choice on why.
Because of this wrong, their family went into poverty and causes one of the parents to start abusing the other parent and our future Butterfly wielder.
Now, this all depends on the level of angst you want for your character. You can either have the parents both die eventually sending the future wielder to the orphanage or allow them to keep living and get better over time. It all depends on you.
Years go by and the new wielder now worked in an antique/trade/pawn shop to try and help their family. The age of this character is also up to you. They could be an adult, high schooler, or middle schooler like the main characters of the show.
While cleaning up the store they somehow accidentally break an item of Chinese descent. Whether it’s a vase, statue, plate, etc. After they do they find the Butterfly Brooch inside/a part of said object.
Once they meet and Nooroo explains to them what the Miraculous can do. The Butterfly wielder sees this as an opportunity.
Again this path is up to you. You can have it so the family got back up from their disaster legally or illegally. This can affect their personality since kids learn from their parents.
If you go with the legal path then your wielder may have a stricter honor code and choose not to use cheap tricks for anything and prefer to do everything fairly.
If you go down an illegal path then they could be a more heroic and clever version of Lila willing to use manipulation to their advantage.
Either way, because of their past they develop a type of this philosophy about the world.
The weak will be prey for the strong until they get stronger. If the weak stay weak forever then they will be trampled on.
Because of that, they become the Butterfly hero to give the weak the opportunity to be strong against their abusers and stand up for themselves.
Here are a couple of name ideas for your Butterfly Hero
Dream Catcher, Baron Orchid, Duke Mauve
Unlike Gabriel, this Butterfly wielder targets these types of scenarios.
A hostage stuck in the middle of a robbery wanting to help people, a person getting mugged wanting help, someone getting their work stolen by higher-ups, an investigator wanting to expose corruption (i.e. Andre Bourgeois and Francoise Dupont). A student getting bullied wanting to expose their bully.
Now on to Master Fu and Miraculous Ladybug’s plot and how this could work.
Like canon, Master Fu would send out the Ladybug and Black Cat. Now, this is where you can also diverge down two different scenarios.
1) They (probably Adrien) attack the new Butterfly wielder’s Champion when that Champion was trying to save someone. Because of this, the public sees the Ladybug and Black Cat wielders as the villains. Maybe your Butterfly wielder does as well.
This can lead down a Reverse Miraculous Ladybug AU path based on one big misunderstanding caused by Master Fu himself. The Butterfly Wielder would hunt down the Ladybug and Black Cat wielder seeing them as abusers of their power. They’d use Champions with a lower area of effect type of power to avoid civilian casualties.
However, should civilian casualties happen, that’s the chance for the Ladybug wielder to show that this was a big misunderstanding by using the Miraculous Cure. That may lead to a conversation between the three about the entire situation and possibly meeting Master Fu.
2)The Ladybug, Black Cat, and Butterfly are all on the heroic side. No misunderstanding happens but there is tension because neither Marinette nor Adrien nor your own characters enjoy the way the Butterfly Wielder does justice.
Now, in this path, you could have Master Fu be the villain in an anti-villain sense. He wants the Butterfly retrieved and sees that the Ladybug and Black Cat wielder refuse to do anything. This causes him to choose others while counseling them into believing that the heroes Miraculous needed to be taken to keep the world safe.
However, with both paths, there is one important thing to keep in mind. The way the Miraculous are set up makes the Kwami slaves. They have no free will of their own despite having the power of the universe at their disposal. If the Butterfly Wielder finds this out they could want to free the Kwami. Seeing the Miraculous and the Order of Guardians as another form of abusers.
Gabriel in all of this
Now, taking away the Butterfly doesn’t necessarily take Gabriel away from the plot. Gabriel may have still had the Peacock and Emilie could still be comatose.
However, unlike in canon, he’d have a limited number of chances to do anything so he has to play his cards right. The Peacock could end up killing him and Nathalie and whoever else he gets to help him try and claim the Miraculous.
I’ll be going over what he can do with my two options to the Miraculous Ladybug plot part of the prompt.
1) In the misunderstanding path, he could be a wild card or fan the flames of the misunderstanding. Using a Sentimonster based around the Butterfly’s Champions, the Ladybug, and/or Black Cat to try to get them to weaken each other so he can snatch the Ladybug and Black Cat.
Or he could use the Peacock to follow my Artificial Miraculous idea so he has a continuous source of power to try and capture the Miraculous.
Either way, he would try to manipulate the Butterfly wielder or both sides to help him in his ultimate goal of claiming the Ladybug and Black Cat.
2) In the idea where the Ladybug, Black Cat, and Butterfly wielders are all heroes and there is no misunderstanding. Gabriel could be one of the antagonists or prime antagonist with or instead of Master Fu depending on your choices.
If it’s being an antagonist with Master Fu then both sides are separate from the other. Master Fu and Gabriel could be allies later on but in the beginning, they aren’t allies.
If you make him the only antagonist then he will be on a limited number of uses and would have to use manipulation a lot more to have people be willing to use the Peacock Miraculous for him and take the side effects.
