The lady(bug) of the hour is here!

The OG outfit they gave her is way too bland, though I guess that could be read in a myriad of ways. I decided to give her outfit some personality, vaguely basing it off of martial arts uniforms. As she gets more comfortable with the miraculous, I imagine she would add more personal touches to it.

As a civilian, I decided to calm it down on the embroidery. I also decided to add more lighter colors to her palette, as it creates a contrast between her civilian-self and her hero-self.

I’m planning on redesigning the other characters, so please suggest anything!

I redesigned Marianne! Instead of having her wear a jacket, Mari now has overalls!

[Image description: It's a drawing of Marianne "Mari" Panettriere-Cheng, a Chinese-French girl. She has dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and light beige skin. Her skin has a small amount of acne. Marianne is wearing a light pink shirt under a pair of denim overalls. The overalls have various designs stitched into them, including a butterfly and several flowers. On the front pocket of the overalls is the letter M. She is also wearing a set of dark pink earrings and a pink hair clip.

In the top left of the drawing is "Mari" written in dark blue. Below that, the following text is written in pink: "She/Her", "17 years old", "Leo". After "Leo" is its zodiac symbol. There is also a bi flag, with "Biro." written under it; "Biro." is short for "Biromantic". All of the i's are dotted with a four-leaf clover shape. In the top right corner is a red circle with five black dots in it, resembling a ladybug. End description.]

You know how, in canon, Marinette has that shrine-thing dedicated to Adrien? I had an idea for that!

Current Marianne doesn't have the shrine, because that's a huge yikes. However, I think that a much younger Marianne (like early teens... 12 to 14 years old?) had a shrine dedicated to her celebrity crush.

It will be mentioned once by Ena (in a teasing manner), to which Mari will instantly reply "Never remind me of that ever again!" in a tone that basically yells "I regret my past decisions, never remind me of that mistake."

I just want to give each of the characters something to regret, even though they did it when they were young and didn't know any better.

TL;DR: Marianne used to have a crush shrine when she was younger, but now regrets it because she knows better now.
