Speaking of Lila, her lies really aren't as outlandish as people love to make out at least when you compare them the rest of the classes or just Marinette's
Alix, her father is a curator to the Louvre Museum aka one of the most well-known museums in France. She is also publicly known to be wielding a miraculous
Max not only has a mother that became an astronaut but developed an AI so good that a multi-million dollar company used it for their state-of-the-art prototype space jet which his mother is flying.
Adrien, was not only a supermodel but the son of a famous fashion designer
Rose, spend an entire day with a foreign Prince.
Chloe, the child of the at the time mayor but also the daughter of a famous fashion critic. Her father also runs a hotel that celebrities go to
Juleka, while she only found out about it recently she is the daughter of a world-famous rock star
Marinette, met several celebrities, designed a pair of sunglasses for Jagged Stone, designed a hat that Gabriel and Audrey approved of. her uncle is a world famous chef and her parents own a bakery so successful that they were the ones that the mayor not only hired to cater for his 20-year anniversary but given several episodes seems to regularly goes to.
I think Lila would have worked more if there weren't so many kids in the class with major connections, especially when Lila brings up people some of them know personally or have at least spent time with, like Jagged Stone or Prince Ali.

The World Under The Supreme - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Action packed posts with Claw Noir and Shadybug are coming but some important details of their world need to be addressed first! These will be relevant in posts to come.
So prepare yourself; EmoNette and EmoAdrien live in a dark world… A world that Betterfly hopes to change.
The GOOD:
Religion is not a crime, which is why celebrating holidays like Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza, etc. is permitted, even if the true meaning behind those celebrations has been lost over the years.
After all, for some people, their faith is all they have- Plus, it’s good for capitalism!
HOWEVER, organized religion is nearly a thing of the past…
In every country, Churches, Temples, Mosques, etc. are HEAVILY TAXED.
The Supreme has the ONLY say in law, so religious “leaders” have no authority or power. So, unable to become filthy rich off of devout believers, and unable to sway people to commit atrocities in the name of “God”, there is no point.
As such, those who do still have some kind of belief in a deity, choose to practice quietly at home.
As a result, there is peace!
Women all over the world have autonomy over their own bodies AND reproductive rights!
Girls are allowed to learn to read without fear of being burned with acid.
Circumcision of boys and girls (yes, some countries mutilate girl’s genitalia for religious reasons) no longer exists.
Only old grannies wear hijab because women actually have a choice (not just wear it or be stoned to death).
THERE IS NO CASTE SYSTEM.
No child marriages.
Pedophilia is rare.
Homosexuality is not illegal.
Anti-vaxers DO NOT EXIST!
So there has been a lot of progress in medicine (good news for Rose!)
No school teaches creationism or claims that man lived at the same time as dinosaurs.
But churches, even famous ones like Notre Dame, Sistine Chapel, Saint Basil's Cathedral, etc. are seen as old relics… tourist sight seeing destinations at most.
But with the taxes being so heavy, and so few people who identify with any religion, it is not profitable to maintain up-keep on these decrepit buildings.
As such, when they fall into enough disrepair as to be considered “unsafe” even for tourists, they too will be condemned and demolished so the land can be purchased by the highest bidder and something more useful will be constructed there.
The BAD:
Mutual aid is a crime… Socialism is forbidden… Protests are not tolerated and severely punished!
There is no such thing as Charity.
There are no donations of toys to sick kids in hospitals.
(Prince Ali, non-existent is he, Ali never-heard-of-ya’… Princes and Kings, no such things, only The Supreeeeeme~)
*No, I will not write out the whole dang song. I don’t want to get sued by a company with mouse ears, thanks.
Everyone pays their own way in life. Those that can’t pay are forced to work (which is why there are no homeless people asking for spare change on the streets).
There is no cooperation without compensation.
The strange, odd, abnormal ones are those who wish to offer help without expecting anything in return.
(You can’t achieve freedom with one person. Freedom is only achieved by collective cooperation, sacrifice, and compassion for others, no matter how different they may be. So long as everyone only looks out for themselves and keeps their heads down rather than risk getting punished for sticking their neck out for others, Freedom for all is impossible. This is the dark price of Wang Fu’s wish for World Peace.)
The Ugly:
Everyone pays the price for selfishness. Especially the planet.
In a world that only cares about “me”, the comforts and profits of the current generation, there is little to no concern for what future generations will inherit, including the planet.
Quick and easy money, progress for profit with no consideration for environmental impact has been the norm since the end of WW2.
Pollution is a world wide issue;
Costs of food are higher everywhere because crops and livestock take a LOT of money to grow.
Crops (grain, fruit, and vegetables) have always been more expensive of course because they require so much land, water, time, and workers to produce.
But with polluted air darkening skies, tainted soil, rapid decline of bees, butterflies, and bats, and such dirty water… Plants are suffering.
Crops require massive greenhouse facilities, heavily filtered hydroponics systems, and hundreds of thousands of human workers to pollinate things by hand (yes, we do that even now for rare plants), or at least until Tsurugi Enterprises can develop robots to replace human workers.
Since grass is not that hardy and expensive to maintain, free range livestock is just not possible. And since most grain has no nutritional value for humans (we can’t really digest it, it is mainly grown to fatten livestock) it is even more expensive since it is a pain in the butt to produce and is mainly consumed by animals, thus meat, dairy, and egg prices have gone up.
Flowers are more expensive than jewelry.
Since only the hardiest plants can endure the world’s level of pollution, many animals have gone extinct and forests are suffering.
Only the richest of cities still have “parks” though they are a far cry from what we think of as parks.
Most flowers are delicate, so many varieties that we are familiar with can not be grown in your average backyard garden or found in pots on a balcony.
An orchid flower is worth more than a diamond.
The hardy, invasive, “ugly” flowers that we consider as weeds have replaced the wildflowers we once knew.
Only the rich can afford to go to a florist to afford luxuries like carnations, tulips, lilies, daffodils, snapdragons, lilacs, peonies, or something as flashy as a rose.
But thanks to Bertrand King, even the lower class can enjoy the beauty of a bouquet thanks to plastic flowers!
Plastic truly is fantastic!
And unlike, fragile, boring, real flowers… PLASTIC FLOWERS can come in any color you want! And they last forever!
Even a poor man can feel rich if they decorate their home with plastic potted ferns!
The best part? You don’t have to waste water! They are so hygienic too! No dirt, no bugs, no allergies, no rotting, dying leaves to prune and clean up! No worries about little kids or pets eating poison leaves!
Plastic plants never lose their luster! They are durable, washable, colorful!
Can’t afford a diamond?
You buy cubic zirconia!
Can’t afford a houseplant?
Buy plastic!
Of course, there IS one event where even someone living paycheck to paycheck can get a chance to see a variety of REAL flowers (assuming they can pay the admission fee).
Every year, people all over the globe celebrate “World Peace Day”, where they give thanks to The Supreme for putting an end to WW2 and preventing any other war thereafter!
There is no celebration more massive!
On that day, Major cities show off their wealth (through the taxes of the citizens) to throw not only parades, but have massive displays of real flowers for citizens to admire (for a price).
It is a day many look forward to!
A day that celebrates peace between all people regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion!
A day of life and beauty!
ALL HAIL THE SUPREME!
