#Chinese Miracle Box

[a-flaming-idiot]

So remembered an animatic that said every Ladybug holder was destined to abandon their Black Cat and they'd never see each other again. So I quickly threw together a set of curses for all the Chinese Box.

Ladybug - They are destined to always die alone with their goals unaccomplished

Black Cat - They are fated to always be abandoned by the person they hold closest

Fox - They are fated to always destroy the person they love most

Turtle - When it counts most they won’t be able to protect those they hold most dear

Bee - They are fated to drive others away at their most vulnerable

Butterfly - They are fated to have their good intentions twisted sour

Peacock - They are fated to put their faith and love into the wrong person and destroy themselves

Snake - At the end of things, they will always end up alone

Dragon - They are fated to never have the strength they most need

Bunny - They are destined to see the worst fates of their friends repeat over and over again with no chance to save them

Tiger - They are destined to always squeeze too tight and break those they love

Pig - Their kindness and desire to help will be their downfall

Mouse - They are fated to feel the weight of every task and eventually be crushed by it

Ox - They are cursed to be destroyed by their own growing doubt

Horse - They are fated to always be a moment too slow and be ruined by it

Monkey - Their happiness will come at the cost of the misery of others

Goat - They will be consumed by their passion and desires

Dog - They will devote their lives to a goal and only in their last moments realize they were wrong

Rooster - The people they hold closest will be unreachable

My rough idea is that the Miraculous of the Chinese Miracle Box are so powerful that their magic naturally backlashes onto the user in the form of a curse. So if someone wears a Miraculous for too long, they will be doomed to the curse even if they take it off.

Italic- Canon Kwamis

*- Any kwami marked with an asterisk either belongs to my close friend @graaythekwami or draws from elements of one of their kwamis that I'm incorporating into my own headcanons

**- Any kwami marked with two consecutive asterisks draws inspiration from @this-wildchild-writes and their original kwamis

[bakawitch]

It's been awhile so I figured I'd post the most recent version of the kwamis currently in use for Forget Me Not

Revealed users:

Ballet Box: White Swan - Marinette - Plumette Black Swan - Anastasia Gusev - Black Feather Bear - Socqueline - Veloura/Ursine Blue Bird - Luka - Gryphon Horse - Alix - Chariot VII Spider - Lila - Funnel Web

Chinese Box: Butterfly - Gabriel - Hawkmoth Peacock - Nathalie - Mayura

Vindicator Box: Luna Moth - Céline Lamar - Mistress Moon

(Red spot means a kwami is unavailable. They're not claimed but they can't be accessed by the characters.)

Feel free to keep suggesting canon characters (except for Alya, Nino, Adrien, Felix, Kagami and Chloe) for the unmarked kwamis though! I'll open oc submissions too once the plot has been a bit better explained :D

[nionom-art]

Kwami ocs are so damn cool, dude. Raccoon Dog is such a good idea for one too! The design for the transformed suit looks siiick!!!

I hope we get to see the Kwami's design soon too. I bet they'll look soon cuuuute. Especially in your artstyle, which, BTW, is verryyyyy adorable!

Anyway. You're amazing, and wonderful, and don't forget to grab a snack and drink water(or an electrolyte drink!) Have an awesome night or day!!

-🐀 (I'm too shy to not be anon, hhh, sorry)

Agjkhkkjjjghkjj

Thank you so much!!!!! Here- just for you <3

[nixthelapin]

I’m sure I’m shouting into the void with this question since I don’t really have that many followers, but is anyone aware of a “theme” between the secondary Miraculous jewels in the main box (Fox, Turtle, Bee, Peacock, Butterfly)? Because they seem like rather random selections to me, especially when the rest of the box has explicit ties to Chinese concepts (Yin & Yang, Chinese zodiac). I’m not even close to an expert on Chinese culture, so if there is a connection, I’d love to be made aware of it, but right now I’m drawing a huge blank

EDIT: some others were kind enough to give a few explanations in the comments and reblogs, so please check those out if you’re interested! :)

[imjustavenuxwithaboomerang]

somehow JUST realized that the non-main miraculouses are the chinese zodiac animals.....

[wushuangzhu]

If you have any questions regarding the Land of Miracles/Shenlan Qiyu Wushuang Zhu, whether it be from the donghua or novel, feel free to send us an ask!

[neil-gaiman]

Hi Neil,

I hope this doesn't get buried in the ask box, but if it does, I'll still be glad I sent this, just to know this little lengthy slice of complement and thanks existed in your inbox is enough. I apologize for the length, I am pretty sure the grammar is in tatters...and probably just the general awkwardness in advance.

Frist of all, congratulations for Good Omens Season2, it's a roaring success even here in this...I don't know, bottomless pit? I myself and some others fondly call it the PRC. The show didn't made pass the firewall officially, neither was Prime Video. People still managed to watch it eventually by VPNs, shared accounts and when times are desperate...sorry, piracy. Chinese fans, including myself, using every tool in the shed to try to fool Amazon™ and our goverment, just to watch this on Prime and try to help to manifest S3, is one hell of an experience. This kind of experience is pathetic, ridiculous....and somehow hilarious in a dark, gallows humor way, almost like some bad spy comedy, I just have to share it. Worth all the trouble by the way, the reward at the end of the back channel is...well, some divine comedy to say the very least. All in all, it's a brilliant show and a solid job well-done.

Then some of my personal gratitude. They say good art resonates with your soul, I now know this is just as true as matter and gravity. Since I know Good Omens certainly resonated with mine. I'll redact the typical "depression and anxiety reduced me to a husk, a shadow of my former self" story and get to the result for brevity's sake. I can't write anything meaningful while I know I took joy in writing, I can't finish reading anything longer than a brochure while I know I was such a bookworm in the past. Then I was compelled to get up in the middle of the night, wrote a full 5000 character long analysis after marathoned S2, and then write even more analyses in both Chinese and English. I picked up American Gods because I know I need more Neil Gaiman in my life and then impressed by myself for actually finishes it the second time 5 years later. I didn't know how exactly that happened through one watch of a TV show, but I know I am changed for the better. I grasped life again, and can start living again, somehow. The resonation just keeps on giving.

This is a quiet, gentle and romantic story, it is soothing, accepting, filled to the brim with love and kindness, and it makes me feel safe and accepted and loved in a way I never felt before. I thank you for it, and hope thart I may have the privlige to witness more of this miracle. Thank you Neil, Sir Terry Pratchett and the team for this miraculous book and this miraculous show.

谢谢。(I just had to say thanks with my mother tongue, it feels more earnest this way)

Thank you so much! I'm impressed by everything you and your countryfolk have gone through to watch it as legitimately as you could.

[redtippedfox]

Accidentally deleted this post when I was trying to edit it but guess I can’t undo that.

———————————-

All characters in this AU are aged up and are adults

—————————————————————-

Anyway gonna take this chance to redo this post and upload her updated kwami swaps.

Behold the holy trinity of Kwami swaps part 1

1. Fox! Marinette: Huli Jing, she’s a trickster and her illusions are beautifully dangerous

2. Bee! Marinette: HoneyBee: She’s hella sweet but you don’t wanna piss her off because her sting can hurt

3. Turtle! Marinette: Chelona Jade: Graceful, strong, and powerful she is the protector.

4. Black Cat! Marinette: Lady Noire: Pent up Destruction can be dangerous especially for a rule follower who’s been stuck being perfect

5. Mouse! Marinette: Multimouse: She may be small but she can give you quite a scare when she divides and conquers.

6. Peacock! Marinette: Bleu Celine: A Goddess in human flesh her Sentimonster’s seem like a dream but beware for they are not all they seem.

7. Butterfly! Marinette: Titania: Light as a butterfly, become her champion be blessed by her gift.

—————————————————————————————————

These kwami swaps are definitely going to appear in Timey Wimey soon, we’re getting really close to Marinette’s reveal. I’ll also be posting the other half of this which the Chinese zodiac part of the Miracle Box, yep that’s right my girl is pulling a Kwamibuster on the corrupted hero’s but with a twist. Anywho, updated their designs and was just trying to edit the post but accidentally deleted it so whoops.

So cleaned up their designs and thought might as well post more.

The main seven Miraculouses are still my favorite

[miraculouslbcnreactions]

Sometimes I wish that the show expanded on the miraculous lore instead of the love square drama. I mean, of course it's a rom-com at it's core but it's also a magical girl anime. Sailor Moon did a pretty good job juggling the two.

Anyways, I've been trying to make some headcanons that might fit the show given that they've given us crumbs. I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

1. There's a secret society or elite clubs where they're hoarding or possibly hunting for miraculouses. Which is why the guardians haven't been able to retrieve most of them.

2. The Order at Tibet isn't the only one. There's at least one order at every continent to keep an eye on the Miraculous/Kwami.

3. Master Fu just assumed that the kwamis in the Chinese Miracle Box are 'Chinese' but they are a collection of different miraculouses from different miracle boxes. (Maybe he also just named it as the Chinese Miracle Box because of their temple's location.

4. Some people who are akumatized are able to remember some of what they did. And some akumatized people still have bits of their transformation. Just to show that the power of ladybug isn't enough and that creation needs destruction in order to cure the damage during akuma battles.

5. Some of the kwamis are interrelated or that their forms aren't just one. They said that kwamis are born from concepts. And human belief/faith, is another form of concepts. So the kwamis physical form shouldn't be just one.

6. The sentihumans 'human body' cannot be destroyed nor die unless their amok is destroyed (show canon) so even when they die, they'll either reconstruct a new body or resurrect.

7. What do you think of kwamis that are related to sins, virtues, seasons, religion, and the soul? Since they are technically concepts so there should be kwamis of them.

Hope you enjoy this ask tbh. I just saw one of your post and couldn't help but ask you this.

-Rian

These were really fun! I'll give some notes on my three favorites.

Some people who are akumatized are able to remember some of what they did. And some akumatized people still have bits of their transformation. Just to show that the power of ladybug isn't enough and that creation needs destruction in order to cure the damage during akuma battles.

That would be an interesting way to use Destruction! I've always took the stance that Chat Noir should have a sister power that gets used whenever an akuma leaves something that needs cleaning up, but using it to destroy memories of people being used by the villain certainly has potential. I'm normally pretty against the destruction of memories, but it's hard to see a good argument for people being forced to remember something like an akumatization. I think most people would want to forget that or maybe the power would only work if people wanted to forget. Curious if others agree.

Some of the kwamis are interrelated or that their forms aren't just one. They said that kwamis are born from concepts. And human belief/faith, is another form of concepts. So the kwamis physical form shouldn't be just one.

Hard agree. I think the kwamis forms should all be a thing they chose that then inspired human legends. This explains the tie between the kwamis and myths while also justifying the mismatch between the powers and the myths. For example, black cats being bad luck came from Plagg's existence, but is obviously not right because Plagg is Destruction, not Bad Luck. A previous holder just got on the wrong side of the church back in the Middle Ages and now here we are.

The sentihumans 'human body' cannot be destroyed nor die unless their amok is destroyed (show canon) so even when they die, they'll either reconstruct a new body or resurrect.

Hard agree on this one, too. One of the many reasons why I didn't think the sentitheory was real was the fact that Adrien was a squishy normal human as we saw in Riposte:

Adrien: Watch out Ladybug! (He dives at her and they roll out of danger right before Riposte could skewer Ladybug.) Ouch! (Adrien holds his hurt ankle.) Ladybug: Are you hurt? Adrien: I'm fine.

He spends a good chunk of this episode limping around when it should have been used to hint that he can't be hurt because he's not a real human.

What do you think of kwamis that are related to sins, virtues, seasons, religion, and the soul? Since they are technically concepts so there should be kwamis of them.

I personally think that canon went way too abstract on the kwamis. As written in canon, yes, there should be kwamis for all of the things you listed, but that's a little insane in my book. Way too many powers and kwamis to deal with! Because canon isn't about tracking down infinite kwamis, I'd make the concepts way more limited. I'd also have the kwamis be created by Tikki and not just a thing that happens. The tracking-down-kwamis-like-clow-cards route is the only route in which I'd keep canon's current lore.

[kingyoisland]

My most crack of crack person head cannon is that Shang Qinghua. The great Airplane shooting towards the side. Is a Cuban Chinese man. 🇨🇺🇨🇳

His mom was Cuban and his Dad was Chinese. In his first like. In his second his mom was Chinese and his dad was Cuban. He doesn’t know English but knows Spanish. The biggest reason he’s not outed as a fucking transmigrator early on because of his mumbling is that a lot of it is in Spanish. The entirety of the Who’s your daddy? Airplane monologue is in Spanish but he says the last line in Chinese.

In my head Shang Qinghua, Su Xiyan, and Binghe are the only characters with curly hair. AAAAAAND because the system fills with Plot holes I believe that Biological. Shang Qinghua is Su Xiyan brother through their father. Not being raised together. Kinda like Shang Qinghua’s Father Secret family. (This circles back stay with me). She gives birth to Luo Binghe who is picked up by the old washer woman.

WHO IS Shang Qinghua’s Mother. And because of her Ex Husband with curly hair teaching her new cultural foods she later teaches both her sons this food. Shang Qinghua and later Luo Binghe. and so know NO ONE CAN MAKE A CUBANO OR PERNI LIKE SHANG QINGUA AND LUO BINGHE!! They can make fucking CUBAN FOOD!! It’s also why these two canonically too the average svsss civilian got the head disciple position because of their ability to cook.

Shang Qinghua is a great cook on the level of Luo Binghe because they have the same teacher and I REFUSE. To believe otherwise.

- Tell me you don’t see this vision. Luo Binghe coming to pick up his Shizun after he has a meeting with Mobei Jun’s rat. Your Shizun walks out with a little Box of fucking Pan con Lechón that’s the name your Mother use to call it at least. You haven’t seen anybody now or since that can cook that food. First you get sad and are about to cry because another man cooked for Shizun. Then your mind goes too how is the fastest way I kill the rat without upsetting Shizun. And only then do you pause. IS THAT FUCKING PAN CON LECHÓN!!

- Also Mobei Jun knowing a surprising amount of Spanish just not when it’s spoken very quickly. Well he knows Shang Qinghua’s broken Spanderin. So he knows quite a bit. But like also not a miracle worker if Shang Qinghua talks any faster then normal he cannot understand a thing.

If you want more I have more please god I need to talk to someone about this please!!

[zoe-oneesama]

I have notice that you are giving the kwamis different and more uniques personalities. How you imagened their unique emotions and how they react with the holders?

For sure, there are very few instances where the Zodiac Kwami get to show their individualism except for Sass or when they briefly interact with their new holders, so I really grabbed on to any little bit I could see and held tight.

Mullo - In the story of the Chinese Zodiac, the Rat rides the Ox and jumps off at the last minute in order to arrive first, so I thought it'd make sense for Mullo to be mischievous - also because Marinette uses it first for some cheeky misdirection. I got lucky that Mullo turned out to be a bit of a prankster when "Mega Leech" came out.

Stompp - As one of the Leftover 4, Stompp didn't get a lot of expression when they were shown in "PenalTeam", but I kinda ended up working with how calm they were. The way they addressed Chloe not knowing the kwamis names gave her a Disapproving Mother vibe, so I went with them being a nurturer. I picture them wanting to watch over their holder, particularly children ones, and watch them grow into full grown Oxes.

Roarr - So this one was easy cuz they've been very consistent in the show, and since the kwamis default to loud and bratty when they're in Mob Mode (ie, when all the kwamis act in sync instead of in line with their personalities), Roarr was simply a too rambunctious child. An extrovert to the extreme. Their name is very appropriate.

Fluff - This one is pretty established in canon, so I guess I'll just extend my headcanon. Fluff is easily confused and babbles a lot, and I think it's because they're being constantly bombarded with information from so many timelines. Existence is a prison and Fluff just comes across as dumb because all their brain power is overheating from a massive influx of information, so they have nothing else to offer in the Present.

Longg - "Ikari Gozen" makes them out to be a Long Winded Old Man/Woman (depending on the dub lol), but aside from them being pretty polite later, they don't hold on to it. I am. Longg is old as shit and just wants these damn kids to hear out their long ass stories, but they just don't know how to edit because it's been forever since they've been out of the box (a nod to how Dragons are now "mythical"). They don't know how to talk to the youngins anymore.

Sass - Okay, c'mon, we all know Sass. Sass is the only one we know definitively. They're the leader and being level headed and calm is the thing that distinguishes him from the rest. He is mildly cursed like Fluff to recall every remade time line, remembering what happened the other times that needed a second chance, but it's less of a burden than it is for Fluff.

Kaalki - I opted to lean in to her being a Diva, obviously thanks to her attitude in "Startrain". You'd think that'd clash with Max, so the struggle was more about making them work together despite that, so I also gave her a fascination with innovation. She's not very technologically literate, but she's interested in what humans have been able to do, especially when it comes to exploration. But in the end, she's still pretty vain lol.

Ziggy - since they were very upset at how mean Chloe was in "Miracle Queen" as opposed to angry like Stompp and Roarr, I felt Ziggy was probably younger and a bit sensitive. I also leaned into some goat traits, having them eat paper and headbutt Nathaniel.

Xuppu - Xuppu can easily become very annoying, especially in "Destruction" where they're trying to be helpful, but uhhhh...they aren't. So I just stuck with how they were portrayed in their canon debut episode. Like Roarr, Xuppu is very much like A Child, so even in Mob Mode they feel in character - getting into stuff and making a mess.

Orikko - I made them very patient, which you gotta be when your powers are bullshit and you constantly have to give a tutorial on how they work. They could talk all day with their holder trying to find loopholes.

Barkk - So they have two standout moments where they're allowed individuality - in "Furious Fu" and "Risk". In the former, they are stubbornly staying behind to guard the house and the Miracle Box, and in the latter, they're super excited at getting a new holder and getting to "play". So both a guard dog and a puppy. I met in the middle where they DO really want to play, but also want everyone to be as excited as them which takes a little coaxing. Like an Extrovery adopting Introverts.

Daizzi - They're just very sweet. Almost just like Rose but soft spoken. They feel very much but like to focus on the things they like, no matter how simple they are.

[immaturityofthomasastruc]

This is something that's been on my mind for a bit, but is there anything Marinette is technically bad at? Stammering around Adrien doesn't count, and the only thing I can think of is Frozer, where Marinette needed Luka's help to skate.

She's an expert gamer, apparently an amazing baker, a fashion virtuoso, a mechanical engineer (her diary box and her sewing kit with the Miracle Box in it), a perfect leader, an incredible artist, the best Guardian, and God knows what else. She was even able to adapt to different miraculous powers, have little trouble fighting with new weapons, and just acquire new skills in a snap. Literally, during Kagami's debut episode, she was also able to adapt to fencing really easily.

The question is, are there any instances that at least prove me wrong? I hope so, because Marinette has always struck me as the kind of protagonist where they just slap on skill after skill as the plot requires, and my opinion on this show is already so low....

Well, she does struggle to speak Mandarin Chinese, so that's something.

[bakawitch]

Can I ask what unification were getting

Eh I mean it's not ridiculously spoilery so why not

Ladybug x Fox = Maned Wolf of Conjuration (power pending)

Luna Moth x Black Swan = Page Moth of Abandon

Black Swan x Black Cat = Black Panther of Obliteration

Chinese Butterfly x Peacock = Riflebird of Infusion (power pending)

[crimsonmonsoon]

Updated kwami designs of Plagg and Tikki for my miraculous ladybug rewrite on Ao3 and Wattpad (oh my god it's like 59 chapters long I'm going feral) It's got 239,874 words rn and idk if that actually makes it the longest thing I've ever written... If it is, idk if I should feel sad for myself or impressed lmao

I got my first hate comment focused on their designs a couple weeks ago and it was because I made all of them Chinese... They wanted racial representation but bro, worldbuilding, they're all from china. I made other miracle boxes. The north american one is various american indigenous races. Suck my toe lol.

The other complaints I get are that Dusuu is a boy in my fic. Idk what to say, he's my son now. Crybaby boy. Giving him forehead kisses. He's the Reiner to my Hajime Isayama, the Sukuna to my Gege Akutami.

[rouxkalamay]

Cursed/Banished Miraculous

So I know Miraculous Ladybug is a kids show but as a writer, I can't help but think of new and cool concepts. I feel like the new seasons could have lot of cool potential as long as they don't recycle stuff over and over again. I do wish that we could of had the newest season be where our good old protagonists graduate, NOT FOR WEIRD ADULT STUFF, but to be able to push the boundaries of the villains and concepts just a bit. And to see a certain blonde be absolutely screwed over when she can't rely on anyone for college. The Chat Blanc episode? Absolute Cinema. I was very glad to see our beloved cat boy break loose.

But I feel like the Miraculous history could be greatly expanded on. For example, there are other miracle boxes and kwami that haven't really been expanded on enough. For example, why don't we have a spider kwami? Or a octopus kwami? They are cosmic, spirit-like entities who embody "abstract" concepts that are formed whenever a new abstract idea, concept, or emotion comes into existence in the universe, such as creation, love, beauty, and mathematics. SO in theory, this could also include stronger or more negative emotions as well.

So, I'm about to do a bit of a OC or AU lore dump I guess? It could be absolute garbage and I'm putting way too much lore into a kids show but hey, I'm a writer. There are FAR worse things we can picture. So if y'all want to read, go right ahead. Have a fantastic day, wether you entertain my lore or not. If you want to skip to the cursed/banished Miraculous bits, just scroll down to the bottom. I just like adding background and I actually had a lot of fun with this XD

Hey! Your still here! Great! Let's get started! Get some snacks, maybe hydrate as well. And put on chapstick. Health is important.

Anyway, I'm sourcing the canon lore from the wiki fandom, some I'm not just going to go completely off the rails. I'ma put quotes around it to indicate that it's from the wiki.

"All of the Kwamis know each other and journeyed across the universe for eons. During their travels, they found their way to Earth and at some point discovered their magical powers, born from the abstract concepts that they respectively embody, with Plagg using his powers to cause the extinction of the dinosaurs. That's when the kwamis realized, even though their powers were great, they were too strong and unfocused, leading to great damage."

So this also means that emotional concepts, both good and bad, can form kwamis. Apparently, it wasn't till a Chinese mage 5000 years ago created the first Miraculous', so they could manifest in a physical form to interact with humans. Now, this is where things get a bit muddy in the lore, because we don't know much about what happened to kwamis during human history. We've had a LOT of bad stuff happen from wars, atomic bombs, revolutions, The Crusades, the Black Death, SOOOO many things that could possibly be due to Kwamis or greatly influence them according to the miraculous lore. Plagg destroying the freaking dinosaurs proves that.

Now, 3,000 B.C is about 5000 years ago when the Chinese mage created the miraculous, which was the Bronze Age. This also means that until the Order was created, Kwamis basically had lots of freedom as they were able to interact with humanity for the first time. I'm not sure if the Order was immediately created after the Chinese mage created the miraculous but I think if a Chinese mage in 3,000 B.C can figure out how to make a miraculous, then so can other civilizations.

According to wonderful Google, in China, 3000 B.C. falls within the Late Neolithic period. They had just established farming, stone tools, and settled down in one place. At the time, North America was also in a similar state by learning to fish and use copper. South America had full on trade routes and pyramids back then and Egypt was doing amazing too! If the Chinese could do it when they were in the Late Neolithic Period, then I promise you that the Egyptians, Native Americans, Africans, Europeans, Mongols, Mayans, Japanese, maybe even the Aztecs would have been able to figure it out.

Except the Australians, no offense. You should read about Australian history, it's really wild, they basically burned down their entire continent due to hunting practices of setting things on fire to hunt animals. They didn't really... Progress much until colonial times.

Where was I?

Oh right, got carried away there. XD

With each culture, there is a lot of rich history there as well as concepts and emotions that the Kwamis could have definitely fed off of. Both good and bad, for example, the Aztecs were quite possibly the most violent culture in the world. There is absolutely no way that a kwami of literal battle or murder didn't exist because of them. Looking at the list of miraculous and kwami, there are so many creatures and concepts that could become kwami because of interactions with humans. Kwamis love humanity as a whole, as it is their job to protect them.

So let's say, some Kwamis loved humanity... too much.

Thus, we arrive at my idea of cursed or more accurately, corrupted Miraculous' and Kwami. I'ma have a lot of fun with this concept as I am very sad that I'm trash at art. I'd love to give y'all a visual.

So let's say that when kwamis were able to interact with humanity, everything was amazing. They were able to help people, get a good sense of the world around them, and care about them. Tikki, as we know, is the eldest Miraculous, so she's probably used to all the suffering and loss at a holder dying of old age or violent causes. It doesn't make it easier, but she has a wisdom that it's meant to happen eventually and the pain is worth the happy moments. For younger ones however, who still need to find their concepts and what they stand for, things might be a lot harder. This leads to attachment and... Instability.

So, if you were a immortal being with powers that could blow up an entire species on accident, and were absolutely tired of seeing the mortals you care about die over and over to the point of frustration, what would you do? You would do one or more of these four things.

A: You would try and make your mortal stronger, faster, and more powerful to overcome.

B: You would lash out, maybe even hold a grudge or even hatred against humanity for dying too easily.

C: You would love and try and do your best so your mortal is remembered no matter what.

Or D, what most Kwamis chose: Remember and move on with difficulty, life is moving as it should.

The pain either caused desperation, rage, or obsession with humanity for these poor Kwamis. So much, that their emotions and essence began to change their holders as well...

It's been proven that Kwamis' personalities and state affect their holders, it made Marinette more confident, it made Adrian more playful and flirty, and even killed and put Adrian's mother in a coma when the peacock miraculous was damaged. So, if a kwami beginning to show signs of a deteriorating emotional or mental state, this could harmfully effect their holders.

And harm them it did.

Holders of the Kwamis affected started to shift, as the features once part of their costumes became part of their day to day lives. At first it was harmless, tails and an extra pair of ears did nothing but catch suspicious stares but they could still be hidden. But then their biology started to shift and change with fangs, horns, venom, giving birth to new cunning and violent races of instinct. Becoming the embodiments of the Kwamis representation. To make things even worse, the use of cursed miraculous' became an addiction of power, twisting its holder into obedience to the Kwamis demand.

When this started to happen, the intact Kwamis came together in a meeting, but it was decided that they couldn't harm their brethren so easily. What really set everyone off was the Black Death.

It was originally an accident. The Rat Kwami, Scamper, was having a terrible time. Scamper was hungry, unbelievably hungry as he started eating so much of the grime and trash in medieval Europe. This was due to his grief of losing his latest holder who was very kind to him. His holder was getting sick, very sick outside of the country side. For months, his new holder was showing signs of the corruption that Scamper's mental state was causing. That grief started to give way to more hunger, more anger, until it manifested into a gluttony that couldn't be tamed.

His new holder felt this gluttony, going feral as they started to eat rats in the streets. Lymph nodes started to appear on the holders body as his rat tail thrashed, tearing into whatever it could find. Unfortunately, the dead rats blood became tainted with the strange sickness and rats being rats, consumed the blood, and thus, the Black Death killed a third of all Europe before it was stopped by the Kwamis by using all their power. In the end, they realized the pure horror that was being unleashed.

One by one, all the remaining Kwamis traveled across the globe to eliminate all new species created by the corrupted Miraculous'. It took many many years, but they were able to get everything under control again. The corrupted Kwamis however... They didn't recover.

Forced by their lack of recovery, Tikki and Plagg worked together to seal the corrupted into a vault, locked away deep in a temple where only a non-corrupted Miraculous' could unlock it's magic lock. The corrupted, though asleep, still remember what the others did... And they never forgave them.

And we are done with the main lore! Wow! This took me quite a bit of time. Now, onto the fun bits! Character Building! I'm just going to do one and do a series because all this lore is WAYYY longer than I thought it was going to be, so if y'all want a specific animal, comment! I'll do it completely free and/or anonymous if y'all wish. :)

The Jaguar Miraculous, Miraculous of Rage and Sacrifice:

This corrupted Kwami is named Yaotl, meaning warrior. Originating in the Aztec culture, he was greatly revered by them and was even known as one of the gods. Constantly dressed in warpaint and blood on his fangs, he has a very aggressive but passionate personality, as he was fiercely protective of his people and his culture. He loved warfare and bloodshed, as he saw it as an act of great passion and honor for his people and the gods. Because of the Aztecs, he was incredibly used to sacrifice and violent acts in the name of the Aztec. He was incredibly happy with the arrangement.

Everything changed when the Spanish invaded Central Mexico. Yaotl's people were deemed savages and were slaughtered by them with weapons he hadn't seen before. Spanish steel cut right through the brittle armor of the Aztecs while small pox soon ravaged the survivors. To make things even worse, Stompp, the Bull Kwami of Determination, also helped in the invasion with his holder in the name of the Spanish. Yaotl's status as a god was stripped away from him, completely dishonorably. He never recovered, as he made Stompp his nemesis...

Yaotl soon snuck on a Spanish ship back to Spain where he took a new host, as his old one died at the end of the Spanish conquest. Yaotl, full of anger and the desire for vengeance of his people, twisted his holder to have fangs, a jaguar tail, jaguar ears, and a passion level very close to the surface. His holders also began to have an unquenchable taste for blood and sacrifice, which caused him to become best friends with the Corrupted Lion Miraculous, Maxima. Maxima came to be during the Roman Empire and helped spread it's influence before it fell. Because of this, she and Yaotl have a deep connection of losing their nations and influence. Until he was sealed away with the other corrupted, Yaotl participated in all wars the most he could, especially against the Spanish.

Yaotl's weapon of choice for his holder was two macuahuitl's, a club like weapon with obsidian blades on the edges. Here's a lovely picture.

Using these weapons, Yaotl and his holders became extremely dangerous and violent in battle. Yaotl's special ability made this so much worse however.

After saying, "Rip and Tear!" Yaotl's holders will suddenly get a burst of energy, strength, and speed that will push them to the absolute limit to the point of pure exhaustion and drop their holders blood sugar, making the need to rip into high calorie meals or meat much greater than before. Along with this boost, the holder will also feel a pure unstoppable rage that will make it extremely hard to tell friend from foe. This rage and boast can also be extended to others, making this an extremely dangerous ability.

The corrupted Jaguar Miraculous is a necklace/gold choker with an bone carved tiger amulet in the middle. To activate it, all you would need to shout is, "Yaotl! For Huitzilopochtli and Blood!" Huitzilopochtli is the god of war in the Aztec pantheon, so Yaotl believes showing thanks to him is a good thing to do for good luck in the battle to come. To deactivate the miraculous, saying, "Yaotl, Ixtlilton preserve us..." Ixtlilton was the god of medicine, be he was also said to help children sleep. Yaotl actually has a bit of a soft spot for children, as he witnessed the Aztecs often sacrifice them for the Rain God. Although these children were treated with honor at the time, he refrains from hurting children in battle or raids, as he deems it dishonorable to fight someone who isn't ready to fight yet at such a young age.

Anyway, we are done! You made it to the end! Thank you so much for seeing my lore dump about this AU or OC or whatever it is. I love writing and history, even if this is just a cringy kids show. Anyway, if you want to request a certain animal miraculous, I can definitely do that for fun. Byyyeeee :D
