#Ladrien is the backbone of the lovesquare

If you don’t like Ladrien, then you have bad taste

Sorry I don’t make the rules 🤷‍♀️

What do you usually focus on as a writer? What do you consider your strengths?

I tend to use imagery a lot, especially to convey emotion and atmosphere which are really important to me and I think I do it quite well. Apart from that I lay focus on characterisation, getting the characters to feel as close to the image we have of them and as real as possible, including getting their voice right. Generally, depending on the overall tone of the fic, I like my writing to be humorous at least and funny at best.

What are your favorite fic tropes?

Ah yes tropes, the backbone of every fic XD I am a huge fan of mutual pining, as I do love myself a little (or a little more than a little) angst. I also love banter, sarcastic flirting that kind of thing, so that ties in there pretty nicely. The "well what could go wrong?" a  million things go wrong immediately is a classic too. One of my favourite things is coming up with aus (is that a trope?), but that doesn't mean I don't love writing canon of course!

Which ML characters and ships are your favorite?

Both in and out of costume, I love Marinette and Adrien, they're both well rounded characters and honestly just good sweet kids not to mention quite funny too. For similar reasons I have an enormous soft spot for Nino and Alya and the four of them as a group of friends is just *chef kiss*. I also find Plagg, Chloe, Kagami and Alix (especially later in her role as Bunnix) to be very interesting personalities. Shipwise the lovesquare's a fave, obviously, with a slight preference for Ladrien or Ladynoir, as well as DJwifi. But I adore Adrino, Alyanette and Marigami as well.

What do you love most about Miraculous Ladybug?

Ugh so much. It's great how we get to see so different dynamics between different characters depending on who's wearing a mask at the moment, especially in the lovesquare. That's what pulled me in originally, I simply love dramatic irony with every fibre of my being. The whole concept behind akumas is also great, how they themselves are actually more victims than villains, who have their own basic human emotions turned against them. Not to mention they can be pretty creative in their execution.

What kind of requests would you be most interested in receiving?

I'd love to write some lighthearted, mundane fluff about one of the (friend-)ships I like. A humorous fic sounds just as lovely or something more "serious", maybe character-centric. Some nice angst with a (semi) happy ending.
