Characters who haven’t been properly akumatized yet and how their akumatizations might go down

Sabine Cheng- technically she was akumatized in Ladybug, but Gabriel had to shut down the operation before her Verity Queen could properly manifest. I’d like to see her actually become Verity Queen in season 4. I’ve already wrote a few posts speculating how she becomes Verity Queen again and what her powers would, but for those who did not read those posts, I predict that Lila’s lies and/or an encounter with Mrs. Rossi will play a part in it and Verity Queen will expose Lila’s lies to the world. As for her powers, I figure that her auuamitzed item will turn into a lasso of truth and that she will also have the power to transform people into her knights (which may or may not just be their previous akuma forms) and her sentimonster will be an anomatronic knight.

Alim Kubdel- possible circumstances behind his akumatization- he is accused of being Hawk Moth due to the baddies framing him (not helped by a bunch of circumstantial evidence). I said in my “Lila’s downfall part 1″ post, I’d want his to be when Alix makes her debut as Bunnyx, but I can’t think of an Akuma persona that both fits the context “being falsely accused of being a supervillain” and would require the use of the rabbit miraculous to defeat. That said, one idea I came up with regarding his powers is the ability to summon people from he past and turn them into his minions. If Pharaoh and Timebreaker r anything to go by, Alim’s akuma form better be tough

Mrs. Rossi- Again, I have speculated a few times what her akuma person might be and the circumstances behind it. Weirdly enough, both for akuma personas have queen in the title. First is that she’s Queen Banana that has been announced that her devastation over Lila turning out to be a liar and budding super villain draws an akuma, which lands in drawing Lila made for a mom as a child (that depicts Mrs. Rossi as some sort of banana queen, hence, the name of Mrs. Rossi akuma persona). My 2nd idea for how she gets akumatized is her getting frustrated when her efforts to address Ladybug’s supposed incompetence at an embassy meeting are met with laughter (as her collegues assume she was joking), and she become Red Queen (which I originally conceived as a 2nd akuma form for Lila in the both the Lord Rogue AU and the Queen of Hearts AU, two AUs u can find out more about on this page, @princess-of-the-corner Anyway, Red Queen’s Powers (or maybe she should be called White Queen, let Lila keep the Red Queen title) consists being able to morph up to 16 chess pieces into akumas, allowing her to turn people back into their akuam forms and control through the pieces (though thanks to Lila’s lies, she’s under the impression they’re already in the akuma forms and the morphing the pieces simply allows her to get them under her control instead wreaking havoc like Lila says they still r). 

Felix- I already speculated a while back that he might become the new Chat Blanc because he wants to one-up Chat Noir (whom I predict that Felix will identify as Adrien, but doesn't share the info with anyone cause where’s the fun in that). 

Now onto people I haven't already speculated on

Mireille Caquet- maybe her being among the named Dupont students who hasn't been akuamtized leads to people speculating that she might be Ladybug and the resulting harassment leads to her getting akumatized 

Prince Ali- he returns for a visit, and when he expresses confusion when Rose mentions Lila, Lila (realizing that him exposing their supposed friendship as lie could lead to the school faculty realizing that her trip to Achu was also a lie), turns on the crocodile tears and goes “how could u forget about me after all the charity work we did together), and Rose falls for it and tells Ali that their friendship is over. Ali’s devastation over having lost a friend to someone’s lies draws in an akuma, and he then goes after Lila. This maybe the episode where Rose (if not the entire class) realize that Lila is lying rat (no offense Mullo) and apologizes to not only Ali, but also Marinette. After all, if Lila wasn't working with Ali, then why wasn't she in school (because even if her lie about being in Achu was caused by a lying disease, then her mother should have cleared that up month ago, as there’s no way Lila’s lying disease could have been properly diagnosed without her parents knowing). 

The art teacher- maybe some budget cuts lead to the art program being in danger of being shut down and a fundraiser to save the art program is sabotaged. I was thinking his powers could involve transforming people into statues and/or paintings. This might be a good episode for Nathaniel and/or Marc to make their superhero debuts. 

Marlena (Alya’s mom)- two possibilities- either somebody one of her employees sabotaged the order of a customer and Marlena gets blamed for it or someone messed with one of her daughters and got off scot-free

Bob Roth- Maybe Jagged Stone and/or Clara Nightingale quit his label (I wouldn't blame them if they did) and he’s pissed that he’s lost two big clients and he gets akumatized into a supervillain with the power to control all music. Personally I would put this under the ‘you brought this upon your own damn self’ category on Princess-of-the-corner’s “how valid is your akumatization” list.

XY- Either he’s feeling pretty inadequate after hearing his own father call him talentless back in Silencer and Hawk Moth akumatizes him into a Music Meister-esque villain (though I’d rather see Luka akuamatized into a Music Meister-esque, as it’s already been announced that Luka will have a new akuma form, but I don' know what the circumstances behind it will be). 

Alec- maybe whoever is in charge of the tv station r sick and tired go him constantly making fun of the people who lose on the shows he hosts (as it certainly doesn't seem to reduce the risk of the n getting akumatized) and they fire him.

Lila’s downfall (part 1)

I predict/hope that Lila’s downfall will be a mini arc that takes place over the course of 4 episodes in season 4. And yes, this will included more detailed versions of episode posts I’ve written. For quick context, assume that the identities of the heroes who got exposed in Miracle Queen is not public knowledge. I’m also toying with the idea that due to how her powers work, Alya is allowed to continue being Rena Rogue (possibly even bing given the fox miraculous full-time) as long as she’s discreet about it. I do have some ideas regarding who will be given miraculous in these episodes, but I should focus on details relevant to Lila’s downfall.

Lady Wifi 2.0- To get back at Alix for debunking one of her claims, Lila will tell Alya is private that Ladybug told her that Mr. Kubdel might be Hawk Moth. When Alya expresses skepticism, Lila tries to convince Alya how close she is to Ladybug by claiming to have been Rena Rogue’s confidant as well (such as being the one to have given Rena Rogue the fox miraculous on Ladybug’s behalf and keeping Rena Rogue from getting akumatized when she and Ladybug had to break the news to her that she can’t be Rena Rogue anymore). For reasons that should be obvious to the audience (but not Lila), this is what makes Alya realize that Lila is a lying snake (no offense Sass). After Lila walks off, Alya thinks hard about Lila’s claims, including the day Marinette was expelled. Shadow Moth senses Alya’s anger and confusion and send and akuma and amok after her. If she is wielding miraculous full-time at point (either the fox miraculous or a new miraculous), then she will resist just long enough to toss the miraculous off before Shadow Moth can get his hands on it, but she will still give in and become Lady WiFi again and is now equipped with a sentimonster. She will then abduct Lila as well as some of the celebrities she claimed to be friends with in order to prove that Lila was lying about her connections. In the meantime, if she had a miraculous, then her kwami will loan the miraculous to a temporary wielder. Ladybug and Chat Noir (possibly with he help of whoever was loaned Alya’s miraculous) defeat Lady Wifi, but not before she proves to the world that Lila was lying about her connections (and the extension, her supposed tinnitus), but Lady Wifi could only expose so much. However, Alya tells Ladybug how Lila accused Mr. Kubdel of being Hawk Moth, and Ladybug explains that Lila was lying about her friendship with Ladybug (assuming Lady Wifi didn’t already expose that).

Historian (working title)- the day after Lady Wifi exposing the Lila’s lies about her connection. Everyone in class feels betrayed in regards to Lila’s connection being revealed to be fake. As Lila tries to blame this on her disease, Alix is called to the principal’s office. Everyone is confused, but Alya and Lila see the smirk on Lila’s face, recall the events of the previous day, and put two and two together and fear for the well-being  of Alix’s family. Mr. Kubdel arrives at the school, and Mr. Damocles explains that he received an anonymous tip that Mr. Kubdel is Hawk Moth and that Alix is an accomplice. The police and Mayor Burguous arrive to arrest the Kubdels. Naturally, Mr. Kubdel gets akumatized. This could be when Alix becomes Bunnyx for the first time, but I’m having a hard time thinking of an akuma that fits the context of “being falsely accused of crime that he didn't commit with my children being dragged into this mess” and has the kind of powers that would warrant the heroes needing the rabbit miraculous as that’s supposed to be a last resort. Regardless, defeating Mr. Kubdel’s akuma form will probably take 3 lucky charms and multiple heroes.

Possible plot-lines we could see in season 5 of miraculous

1. Sabine’s sister Shu Yin coming to Paris in order to try to convince Sabine and Tom into sending Marinette to stay with her in London because she feels that Paris is too dangerous now that Hawk Moth has his hands on even more miraculi and she gets akuamitzed when Mari and her parents refuse this offer Alternatively, Marinette convincing her parents to let her to London under the guise of wanting to visit Shu Yin (when in reality, she’s actually going to go confront Felix as Ladybug, only for Felix to make up a sob story about having been mugged by Hawk Moth before he could make it to their redenvous point) and Shu Yin tries to convince Mari and her parents that Mari should stay in London until Hawk Moth is defeated and Mari actually considers taking Shu Yin up on her offer because the events of Strike Back took her a toll on her confidence and she wonders if it would be better to just give the Ladybug miraculous to Alya full-time but then a pep talk from Tikki (or maybe a local superhero in London) renew’s Mari’s resolve and she turns down Shu Yin’s offer. 

2. Gabriel and his allies plotting to akumatize Alim Kubdel on the grounds that someone who was able to father not 1 but 2 kids who akumatized selves managed to give Heroes a run for their money would make a formidable akuma himself (and possibly because they think he’d be perfect for the rabbit miraculous, which none of the villains want to use themselves they are understandably confused as to how the rabbit’s time travel works, but they know Alim would not willingly assist them under normal circumstances). Perhaps Gabriel could give the fox miraculous to Lila who, with a new costume and alias, creates a mirage framing Alim for being Hawk Moth and the Hawk Moth (either via akumatization or showing up in person) that he’ll only clear Alim’s name if he assists them (as an akuma or otherwise). Ideally I think this could be the mini-arc that leads to the heroes getting the rabbit back and give it to Alix. 

3. Gabriel sending the horse miraculous to Felix so he can assist him as needed without having to move to Paris full-time or take the train every time he needs him (and also because he got tired of Kaalki of criticizing his fashion sense)
