Character Biography

Marinette has never not been surrounded by pastries. Really, she considers it just a fact of her life. After being adopted by Sabine Cheng and Tom Dupain as an infant, she grew up above their bakery, learning the ins and outs of running the bakery and baking itself. Her parents made sure she grew up loved and knew everything she could ever want to know about anything; she had brief fascinations with dance, game design, even some brief stint in pouring all her energy into photography. But the only consistent passion she had was sewing and fashion design. She looked up to Gabriel Agreste most of all, his designs part of her inspiration during her starting years alongside her beloved Paris.

Yeah, she was bullied growing up by a certain bossy blonde, but that was really just yet another fact of life to her. She was klutzy as they came and, frankly, she looked different than the popular crowd. Her mother always suspected that played a role in it. This girl’s best friend would always pitch in on making Marinette’s day hell. So, perhaps that was why she completely expected Adrien Agreste to be just like them. Really, truly she did. She spent her first day at Collège Françoise Dupont acting cold and aloof and practically trying to disappear because it was yet another year with the two who already made her school day unbearable, but now the number seemed up to three. On top of that, she had received some mysterious earrings the very same day from a kind old man she helped across the road when a car was quickly approaching, that seemed to contain some sort of mouse-bug (which she later learned was a kwami) named Tikki. That first day was really just not adding up to be a good one at all.

But then, she met Chat Noir. And yeah, his puns were dumb. And he was a bit too cocky at points. And they were both clearly new to this, as proven to how she messed up their first real fight. But he encouraged her and actually kept her from giving up and handing over the earrings to someone else. She also met Alya, a brand new student just like Adrien, who encouraged Marinette to stand up for herself. So she did. Even if it was just getting her seat back, it was a big deal for her. The day ended on the weirdest of notes, with Adrien giving her his umbrella in the middle of the pouring rain and her admitting to herself that she might have been wrong about him.

Her nights were reserved for Chat Noir, fighting crime and hanging out on rooftops as his counterpart Ladybug all through collège and lycée. She’s still shocked she didn’t fail all of her classes at any point. He complimented her perfectly, in an inexplicable way that extended beyond her gift of creation and his of destruction. It pained her when they had to separate, when he told her he was leaving Paris and she had to admit out loud that she was leaving too. It pained her even more to know that she’d likely never see him again.

Paris was her home and heart and she never thought she’d leave it. But the Agreste scholarship and a strange pull towards Porthaven made her pack up and leave the city she loves most. So she’s here, luckily with her best friend at her side, both kwami and human. Adrien’s her roommate, so at least there’s a piece of home at her side no matter what. Plus, she can always bake a massive amount of bread and macarons if she gets really lonely.

Headcanons

Attracts ladybugs wherever she goes, much to her own confusion. She kind of understands, but also is very unnerved when a ladybug winds up caught in her hair and she has to fish it out.

Fluent in Mandarin Chinese, thanks to many hours spent with her mom growing up.

A little too obsessed with video games. Has lost entire days since she left Paris to playing them and playing them only.

Has nightmares about the battles she used to fight with Chat Noir and often finds herself out on the highest point she can just to try to feel close to him again. It scares her not knowing where he is and if he’s safe.

Wears only her own designs. Growing up, it was really only accessories, but now she makes and wears her own full outfits. She’s quite proud of herself, really.

She’s working on setting up her own website to display and possibly sell her own designs.
