Episode List : Miraculous - Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir / Episode List
Parisian teenagers Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste each receive an enchanted piece of jewelry - "Miraculous" - and the accompanying magical creature - "Kwami" (Tikki and Plagg) - through which they can transform themselves into the superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir. Together they fight against the people "akumatised" by Hawk Moth in order to save Paris.
"Hawk Moth" can enchant special butterflies in "Akumas", which turn people's dreams and desires into reality and turn them into opponents with supernatural powers working with Hawk Moth.
Besides that, Marinette and Adrien master their school day and are looking for love. The problem is that Adrien is in love with Ladybug and Marinette with Adrien, but neither of them know about the other's secret identity.
characters
- Marinette Dupain-Cheng / Ladybug
Marinette is a nice, friendly youngster who looks like sunshine to everyone around her. She is always in a good mood, bright and positive, but also very clumsy, acts too late and impulsively. She is in love with the popular boy Adrien and keeps a secret: She is the superhero Ladybug. To transform into Ladybug, she needs her ladybug earrings (her Miraculous) and her Kwami , a little red and black creature that goes by the name Tikki. This creature calms her down and helps her on her missions. Together with Cat Noir, she thwarts the plans of the villain Hawk Moth. Your super power is called a lucky charm; it creates certain red objects with black dots that show Ladybug a way to defeat a villain. She also has a second superpower that she uses to capture the Akumas and "deacumatize" them. In addition, she later becomes the keeper of the Miraculous. Cat Noir likes to call her “little dots” or “my lady”.
- Adrien Agreste / Cat Noir
Adrien is the son of the famous fashion designer Gabriel Agreste and a model himself. However, he has very little freedom, because for a long time his father wanted to protect him from the dangers of the world. His greatest wish is to lead a normal life as a normal boy. With his magical signet ring (his Miraculous) he transforms into Cat Noir. In love with Ladybug, he often shows off to win her over. However, his efforts are useless and she often turns him away. At Adrien's side is Plagg, his resentful, lazy, voracious and lousy Kwami, who doesn't help him, but is secretly there for him. Plagg loves Camembert . Adrien's superpower is cataclysm, which in various ways destroys or renders useless objects that he touches. He also has the power to see in the dark.

He would like to take possession of the Miraculouses of Ladybug and Cat Noir in order to gain infinite power. Because an old legend tells that he who combines the power of destruction (Cat Noir) and the power of creation (Ladybug) will be the most powerful person on earth.

Kwamis
Kwamis are thousands of years old little creatures that are found in a total of nineteen pieces of (fashion) jewelery (e.g. earrings, rings), the so-called miraculouses. These are hidden in an octagonal box in Master Fu's gramophone. The two most important ones, Ladybug's earrings and Cat Noir's ring, lie in a yin and yang under the lid of the box. Another five Miraculouss are in the form of a flower around the two. The remaining twelve are in small drawers on the sides. Overall, the kwamis are reminiscent of terms from Chinese astrology .
Miraculous and their kwamis have special powers, which primarily give the owner strength and speed. The kwamis also have the additional powers that are dependent on the respective Miraculouses.

After that, the kwamis have to recharge their energy by eating something and resting.
