LB!Alya/BC!Nino and Ninette/Kagalya for me as well! Being Scarabella would create an interesting plot point of there being no Ladyblog, as I see Tikki drawing the line at making a superhero website being far more likely than Plagg doing so. And with both of them pushing for their holders not to say anything to anyone in canon!Origins, I can see Nino actually listening to Plagg with not letting Adrien in on any secrets until he gets his own affairs and impulsive curiosity sorted out, while Alya would confide in Marinette almost immediately after becoming friends which would make Tikki double down even harder on not having a website, eliminating or significantly changing quite a few episode synopses, The Pharoah, The Mime, and Volpina being a few examples. With Ninette and Kagalya, it would be really nice for all four of these characters to be in relationships that boost their strengths and alleviate their weaknesses: Nino gets to be with Marinette, who won’t try to always call the shots with what they do or what they spend time on, who he can bounce off of creatively while fostering his own career ambitions, and who will tell him when he’s going too far with plans or assumptions without communication while encouraging him to be more attentive to such things. Marinette gets to be with Nino, who is very easygoing and won’t make her anxious or uncomfortable, who she can share her creative ideas with as someone with an artistic mindset, and who will remind her that, while still being a kind person, she’s not obligated to get involved with everyone else’s problems, especially if she’s busy or genuinely just doesn’t want to get dragged into it (it’s great to have someone you can rely on, but the rest of the class also needs to sort out their own issues sometimes without leaning on Marinette for everything, for God’s sake). Alya gets to be with Kagami, who can match her in bold, upstanding energy and not buckle under her personality, who has no problem telling her to her face when she’s going too far with something without any fluff or tiptoeing, and who can show her that sometimes people have home lives and accommodations that can’t always be dismissed or evaded without consequences or feelings getting hurt. And Kagami gets to be with Alya, who can show her that it’s okay and sometimes necessary to stand up to authority figures to be happier with your life, who can balance out her strict nature with sass and lightheartedness, and who can show her a good time doing normal teenage things while having obligations of her own.

The blog I haven't actually considered too much (espeically since it only shows up when the writers want it to), but I can confirm that Plagg wouldn't care too much so long as Alya doesn't go crazy with it, Tikki though Alya would definitely have to fight on. This kwami didn't even like the idea of Marinette keeping a secret diary, a blog where the public can see it all?

This kwami is going to flip out with all her anxiety and uncertainty. And as said above, Alya already pushed the limit revealing herself to one person.

If Alya is going to have this blog, it's an uphill battle.

I can't say if she would win.

          Y’know, back when I first played DA2, I never understood why Isabela was so against finding Ninette. I though maybe it was to play into a “don’t involve yourself in other people’s business” mindset. And it confused me. Her complete unwillingness to help the people trying to find Ninette came across as cold, and it didn’t sit right with me. Was she really that selfish?

          But then I learned of her backstory, and upon the next replay, it all made sense. Isabela’s refusal to help was by no means out of apathy. It was the most empathetic response she could have to the scenario laid before her. Up until the end of the quest, it is very much suggested that Ninette purposefully ran away. Her husband was abusive garbage. She was an object to him.

          All of these factors were things Isabela could understand better than anyone. She had once been Ninette. All she could see when she looked at Ninette’s husband, in all of his venom and ugliness, was Luis, her own abuser. And Isabela knew that, if this was indeed what it had been made out to be, then finding Ninette would be the worst thing possible that they could do for her. If Ninette had chosen to leave, then she deserved to have her freedom protected, not taken away from her.

          Of course it’s revealed at the end that this is not what happened, but throughout the investigation, Isabela doesn’t know that. All she sees is another Naishe, running from another Luis. And that both breaks my heart for her and makes me proud of her character, of how quickly she was going to fight for a woman she didn’t know because she understood what it was like to be her.
