Miraculous Ladybug AU

Miraculous Ladybug AU (also known as Miraculous AU) is a popular AU (Alternate Universe) within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom. In the AU, Rapunzel, Merida, Hiccup and Jack Frost are characters featured in the hit Korean-French animated series Miraculous Ladybug. This can be considered a sub-scenario of Superhero AU.

About the AU
In this AU, the members of the Big Four are portrayed as characters from Miraculous Ladybug, most commonly as the two animal-themed superheroes: Ladybug/Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Cat Noir/Adrien Agreste.

The four and other such characters can also be bearers of their own Miraculouses, or even as Akumatized Supervillains, people who are turned evil and embued with powers by the wielder of the Butterfly Miraculous.

Because of the twelve Miraculouses and Kwamis of the Chinese Zodiac animals, along with Marinette's Chinese heritage (from her mother's side), fans like to consider this AU an alternative to Dragon Warriors AU. While the animal theme and design of the Miraculouses, the animal-like form of both their Kwamis and the animal-based superhero forms that they give their bearers, could also have it as an alternative to Hybrid AU.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
With Hiccup's leadership and coming up with ways to get himself and his friends out of sticky situations casts him as a male Ladybug (for the Hijack pairing). Fans have also cast him as Cat Noir (for the Mericcup, Hiccunzel, Hiccelsa and Hiccstrid pairings), Nino Lahiffe or given him his own Miraculous so he can transform himself into a Dragon-based Superhero, with the help of Toothless as his Kwami and his sword or shield as his main weapon. As fans sometimes have Hiccup as a Night Fury-based superhero version of Cat Noir (with a staff version of the Inferno), while Astrid is a Deadly Nadder-based version of Ladybug. Hiccup could even be the holder of the (Chinese Zodiac) Dragon Miraculous with Toothless as the Dragon Kwami; there could even be a set of Dragon Miraculouses with the dragons from the How to Train Your Dragon franchise as the Dragon Kwamis that inhabit them.

In other circumstances, Hiccup could become an Akumatized Villain, being picked on for being the "runt of the little" or failing to please his father attracting an akuma and turning him into a dragon or Viking supervillain that is out to destroy everyone that ever picked on him or to finally prove to Stoick that he can be the son that he wants him to be.

Jack Frost
Due to his sly attitude, Jack Frost is cast as the cat-based superhero Cat Noir. Brown hair for when he is Adrien Agreste and white hair when he has his "Claws Out" and mask on. Jack can also be a bearer of a miraculous that can transform him into an winter or arctic animal-based Superhero, with his staff as his main weapon. His friendship with Toothiana and Baby Tooth can even have his Miraculous transform him into a Hummingbird-themed Superhero, with one of the two bird-like fairies as the Miraculous's Hummingbird Kwami. While his friendship with Bunny could even make Jack the holder of the Rabbit Miraculous, with a miniature version of the Guardian of Hope as the Rabbit Kwami. There have also been fans that simply have Jack as the holder of the Peacock Miraculous, for when Merida is placed as the holder of the Fox Miraculous for the Jarida pairing.

On the other hand, Jack could be portrayed as an Akumatized Villain, his wish to be noticed in a world that sees him invisible attracting Hawk Moth (or whatever variant is present in the story) to corrupt him not unlike Juleka, imbuing him with power over wind and ice. The akuma would most likely be contained within his staff, the staff being his main conductor in-canon.

Merida DunBroch
In some circumstances, Merida is portrayed as a Bear-themed Superhero, her family's necklace being the miraculous used, her main weapon being her bow or a sword. Fans have also cast her as Ladybug for the Mericcup pairing, as well as portraying her as Alya Césaire for when Rapunzel is Marinette, or have Merida as the holder of the Fox Miraculous. Her bond with Angus can even have her as the holder of the Horse Miraculous, with a miniature version of Angus as the Horse Kwami.

On the flip side, Merida would be portrayed as an Akumatized Villain. The family quarrel she suffers from at the hands of her mother combined with her temper would attract hawk Moth (or whatever fill-in character there is) and turn her into a bow-weilding villain out to enact vengeance and rebellion on the unwitting city. Usually, the akuma would be hiding within her family necklace.

Rapunzel Corona
Rapunzel is portrayed as Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug, Chloé Bourgeois (due to her blond hair and her father's "job" role), a female Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir, or is given her own Miraculous by fans, sometimes portraying with a Chameleon or Horse-themed superhero in homage to Pascal and Maximus respectively. Max (or any other horse from the world of Tangled, like Fidella) can be placed as the Horse Kwami, for when Rapunzel is given the Horse Miraculous. Her time as a bird in the episode "Freebird", could even have her as the holder of a Bird Miraculous; with it's Kwami resembling her bird form. Rapunzel's tiara or her diamond gold ring can even be used as the miraculous she holds and can use to transform her into a animal-themed superhero, while her main weapon could resemble her frying pan. There have also been fans that simply have Rapunzel as the holder of the Bee Miraculous.

In lesser circumstances, Rapunzel could play the part of an Akumatized Villain, her yearning to be free of her mother's influence and being denied her wishes leading to her becoming akumatized.

Queen Elsa
Elsa is most commonly portrayed as either Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug (should Jack Frost be Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir) or as a female Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir (given her bright blonde hair and aristocratic upbringing). Her ice power can even make her the bearer of a miraculous that could transform her into a winter or arctic animal-based Superhero.

In other circumstances, Elsa would become an Akumatized Villain, the fear and isolation she experiences as well as her yearning to be with her sister turning her into an ice-weilding villain that plunges the city into an instant winter, which might minor the Akumatized actions that Philippe had done as the ice skating-themed supervillain Frozer, as well as her own accidental actions in Frozen. Her Akumatized form can be made to look like the dark designs of her, from when Elsa was originally set to appear as a antagonist; as fans commonly use both the role and designs of Evil Elsa in dark crossovers.

Princess Anna
Anna is seen as Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug for the Kristanna and Peanna pairings, Peanna also has her as a female version of Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir. The ducklings that are fund of the princess and her horse, Kjekk could even have Anna as the wielder of a Duck Miraculous or the Horse Miraculous that transforms her into a Duck or Horse-Themed Superhero; with Kjekk as the (Chicness) Horse Kwami that inhabits the Horse Miraculous when Anna is made its keeper.

In other circumstances, Anna would become an Akumatized Villain, yearning to be with her sister again, being alone for so long and tired of being "shut out" by Elsa, would turn her into a supervillain that is out to harm the people that kept the gates closed for so long or to hypnotize people into becoming "friends" so she could end her loneness.

Kristoff Bjorgman
Kristoff is seen as Cat Noir when Anna is Ladybug for the Kristanna pairing. His friendship with Sven could even have him posse a Reindeer Miraculous that can transform him into a Deer-themed Superhero, with Sven as his Kwami and his lute or one of his ice tools as his main weapon.

Hiro Hamada
Hiro is cast as a male Ladybug for the Hidashi pairing and Cat Noir for the Penniro, Hiret, Hiriley and Hirogo pairings. When Hiro is featured as the cat-themed superhero then the Hamada family cat, Mochi could serve as the cat Kwami, Plagg as both cats have black fur (even when Mochi's has more white and a touch of sienna with his).

In other circumstances, Hiro could become an Akumatized Villain, the grief he experiences after Tadashi's death attracting an akuma and turning him into a bionic supervillain out to destroy whoever he thinks was responsible. The akuma would most like be hiding in Tadashi's cap, as it "fell" off of his head when he ran into the burning building, and with Hiro keeping it close to him.

Tadashi Hamada
Tadashi is most commonly casted as either a male Ladybug or as Cat Noir. In other cases, Tadashi could be portrayed as a Fox-themed Superhero through the Fox Miraculous, based off of the "Kitsune" identity he takes most commonly in Dark AU.

In other cases, Tadashi would take on this very same persona as an Akumatized Villain, out to kill Callaghan or whoever else he believed was responsible for his near death.

Penny Forrester
Penny is commonly cast as Ladybug for the Penniro pairing. While living a life that was organized by those who focus on her currier more than they would on her and what she wants to do, can portray her as a female Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir, with Mittens as a female Plagg, as both cats have black fur (even when Mitten's has a touch of white with hers). Her friendship with Bolt could make her a Dog-themed superhero through the Dog Miraculous, with a miniature version of Bolt as the Dog Kwami and the Wheelbar (her gadget from the Bolt video game) can be used as her main weapon. While Rhino could even have her as the bearer of a hamster Miraculous, for when he is portrayed as a Hamster Kwami.

In other cases, Penny would become an Akumatized Villain, out to make her agent, the Director and the other people at Sovereign Entertainment pay for making her lie to her best friend and trying to replace him. Usually, the akuma would be hiding within one of the photos of her and Bolt, mostly the one that she used for the Lost Dog flyers.

Astrid Hofferson
Astrid is cast between Ladybug for the Hiccstrid and Jackstrid pairings. She is given her own Miraculous so she can transform herself into a Dragon-based Superhero, with the help of Stormfly as her Kwami and her axe as her main weapon. As fans sometimes have Astrid as a Deadly Nadder-based superhero version of Ladybug, while Hiccup is a Night Fury-based version of Cat Noir. She could be the holder of the Chinese Dragon Miraculous, or be one of the bearers of a set of Dragon Miraculouses with Hiccup and Berk's four other Dragon Riders as the other holders of them. Astrid could even be cast as Kagami Tsurugi, as they both hate to lose and take pride in their skills.

In other circumstances, Astrid would become an Akumatized Villain, out to make Hiccup pay for beating her (at the dragon "killing" training) or to make sure that Snotlout could never get on her nerves again. Her axe can serve as her main weapon when possessed.

Violet Parr
Violet's black hair, the red and black on her superhero suit, living a double live as a school girl and a superhero, gaining confidence and having a crush on the "cutest" boy in school heavily casts her as Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug. Sometimes for the Hiret pairing, when Hiro is Cat Noir.

Moana Waialiki
Moana is commonly portrayed as Marinette's best friend, Alya Césaire, due to the style of their hair. Moana can also be a bearer of a miraculous, her necklace being the miraculous that can transform her into a sea animal-based Superhero (like a Mantra Ray in homage to her grandmother's tattoo and the form her spirit took), with the oar for her sailboat turned into a staff or uses a harpoon (like the one she used to fight the Kakamora with) as her main weapon. Her friendship with Pua and Heihei can even make her a Pig-themed superhero through the Pig Miraculous or a Rooster-themed superhero with the Rooster Miraculous; with her animal friends as their Kwamis.

In other circumstances, Moana would become an Akumatized Villain, being kept away from the ocean and her family trying to get her to like and dream about something else would turn her into a water-wielding villain that brings the water to her and rises the water levels around the city; which nearly drowns it. The akuma would most likely be hiding in her necklace.

Pitch Black
Pitch can be cast as Hawk Moth/Gabriel Agreste or is given his own Miraculous (the animal theme of dark coated horse) that has the same powers and abilities as the Butterfly Miraculous. Using his nightmares to Akumatize innocent people as they turn into super villains, preying on their fears and insecurities. The stallion form of his nightmares could even have Pitch as the holder of the Chines Horse Miraculous, with Onyx as the Horse Kwami. Pitch could even be in possession of a few Miraculouses that are in the theme of his Nightmare's other animal forms that are seen in the video game of the Rise of the Guardians film, that he keeps for himself or lends his allies.

The Man in the Moon
Like how Master Fu entrusted the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses to Marinette and Adrien and how MiM chose the Guardians to watch over the children of the world: MiM can be one of the surviving Guardians of the Order that protect and deliver Miraculouses to those that would use them to keep people safe. To rebuild the order MiM would teach the Guardians of Childhood how to pick a Miraculous's new owner, read the old texts from the spellbook and how to keep the Miraculouses safe and hidden from the wrong hands. He could even be the bearer of a Miraculous that is the theme of a Glowworm or Lunar Moth (since he was raised by the ones that were on the Moon Clipper).

Prince Hans
For the Helsa pairing, Hans is portrayed as Adrien Agreste while Elsa is Marinette Dupain-Cheng. His steed, Sitron, could even make him the bearer of the Horse Miraculous with Sitron as the Horse Kwami, as he helps Hans transform into a Horse-themed superhero. While being the antagonist in Frozen, could even make Hans the holder of the Butterfly Miraculous. As he uses its power to turn people into his "champions" that would help him take control of Arendelle's throne.

Varian
In some circumstances, Varian is portrayed as a Raccoon-themed Superhero, with Rudiger as the Kwami that inhabits the miraculous he carries and uses to transform into his ultra ego, while his staff is used as his main weapon. While wanting to make his father proud of him and having his mother "absent" in his life, could portray him as Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir. There have also been fans that have cast Varian as a male Ladybug.

On the flip side, Varian would be portrayed as an Akumatized Villain. His betrayed feelings and people turning their backs on him and his father would attract Hawk Moth (or whatever fill-in character there is) and turn him into a alchemist-like villain out to enact vengeance on the unwitting city, the bauta/iron mask and heavy coat that he had on, when he first met Rapunzel and Cassandra, can be used as part of his villain form; as they had made Varian look intimidating (in the dark). While Varian's raccoon can be placed in his beast form (from "Secret of the Sun Drop") beside the akumatized Varian, just as Jagged Stone's crocodile was turned into a dragon to assist his Akumatized master. Usually, the akuma would be hiding within Varian's goggles or one of his alchemic notes.

E. Aster Bunnymund
In some circumstances, Bunny is portrayed as a Rabbit-themed Superhero, through the (Chinese Zodiac) Rabbit Miraculous. His human form, that he is sometimes given in modern related crossovers and AUs can serve as his civilian self, while his Guardian or human-rabbit hybrid form serves as his miraculous ultra ego, one or both of his boomerangs can also be used as his main weapon(s). While a miniature version of the Guardian of Hope (like the small rabbit form he took, when he was weakened by the fading number of believers) can place him as the Rabbit Kwami; when Jack or (an older version of) Sophie Bennett is made the wielder of the Rabbit Miraculous.

Toothiana
In some circumstances, Tooth is portrayed as a Hummingbird-themed Superhero, with Baby Tooth or one of her other fairies is placed as the Kwami that inhabits the miraculous she carries and uses to transform into her ultra ego, her human form, that she is sometimes given in modern related crossovers and AUs can serve as her civilian self, while her Guardian or human-hummingbird hybrid form serves as her miraculous ultra ego.

Flynn's main weapon can either be a sword or a frying pan-like weapon, as he was seen using one in both the Tangled film and its follow-up TV series.

GoGo Tomago
Fans have cast GoGo with the role of Ladybug, due to her short dark hair and with Hiro placed as Cat Noir for the Hirogo pairing. The purple streak in her hair and dark clothing can even cast her as Juleka Coffaine, while her need for speed, roller skating skills and her tough girl personality can easily portray her as Alix Kubdel.

Fred

The Lizard Kwami that inhabits the Miraculous he carries and uses to transform it's keeper, can be based on or be made to look Fred's Fredzilla suit or his SFIT mascot suit. His rich upbringing and secretly living the life of a superhero could even portray him as Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir.

The Once-ler
Should the Once-ler be placed as a Akumatized Villain, his Greed-ler self can serve as both his villain title and the form that he takes when Akumatized. The Akuma would most likely be hidden in his hat.

Mr. Peabody
Fans have portrayed Peabody as both Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug and Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir for the Peanna pairing. While a miniature version of the intelligent, talking dog can be placed as the Dog Karmi, or have a human version of Peabody as the holder of the Dog Miraculous, with his Dog-themed superhero form resembling his dog self or his dog-human hybrid form.

Guy
In some circumstances, Guy is portrayed as a Sloth-themed Superhero, with Belt as the Kwami that inhabits the miraculous he carries and uses to transform into his ultra ego, while his knife is used as his main weapon. The Miraculous he carries will most likely be a belt-boucle, due to Belt's name.

While her horse, Fidella, could have her as the user and holder of the Horse Miraculous, that she uses to transform herself into a Horse-themed Superhero.

Momakase
Momakase's pride of being the best and dislikes people showing no respect to the food she prepares, like adding soya sauce to her sushi, as well as disliking people that beat her in cooking, can easily attract the attention of an akuma. Turning her into an knife wielding Akumatized Villain, the clothing that she wears and the way she does her hair for when she does her thieving work, or her mutant form, can serve as her Akumatized form. While one of her knifes is used as her main weapon and possibly the item where the akuma is hidden.

Mavis Dracula

Like the flute that is the tool of the Fox Miraculous.

Obake
Since Obake is a mastermind that has others do his "dirty work", while he watches from his lair, is a father (in a way), and has an interest in the superhero team that interfere with his plans, can easily cast him as Gabriel Agreste, A.K.A. Hawk Moth.

Globby
Being a normal man that became a super powered one, which gave him a new name and form as he pursued the life of a supervillain (before switching to Big Hero 6's side, so he could help them save the city from Obake's plans for it), and had people doubting him for being a terrible thief and not being so clever, can easily attract the attention of an akuma and turn him into a Akumatized Villain of a slim-monster (that his based on his current form). As Globby can serve as his Akumatized self and form, while his civilian self is Globby's original human identity and life as Dibs.

Screech
Screech's owl-themed super suit is similar to both Mr. Damocles's The Owl costume and Akumatized form as Dark Owl.

Riley Andersen
Riley is cast as a Ladybug for the Hiriley pairing.
