Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, Marinette Dupain-Cheng —Aesthetic
Marinette Dupain-Cheng’s Character & Personality
Marinette is a sweet, creative, outgoing and joyful French-Chinese girl. She loves fashion, her friends and family. Her crush describes her as honest, fair and not the type to cheat. Marinette’s pure heart is good at giving advice. She deeply cares for people and is quite helpful towards those with insecurities. Thus, Marinette usually puts their feelings and interests before herself with personal costs. Despite being genuinely kind, Marinette has limits. Although she struggles with self-esteem, her confidence eventually grows considerably, like when standing up for others. In urgent situations, Marinette becomes nervous, clumsy, a bit awkward and quick to panic. She can also act impulsively and irrationally at times. Marinette does risky tasks whenever she’s jealous or protecting her image. However, Marinette eventually learns from her mistakes to become a more open-minded and understanding person.

hi I went a little nuts about the new marinette design and came up with like 15 alternatives.
my initial goal was to come up with a. “””better”””” design, while still adhering to what seem to be the show’s limitations.
*Core Idea* Try to keep her design recognizably “Marinette” as depicted in the show. Anyway lemme know what your favs are thanks
some vague guidelines I made for myself below.
1. Black outerwear, white shirt, pink shorts/pants. (Color palette revolves around the black/pink/white palette, the new design shows her with tights of some kind so we can play with that a bit more. Shoes we can be a bit creative with.)
2. Keep it “age appropriate” per the G rating / 8-13 intended audience. This is vague but mostly just avoiding things that are too trendy or showing “too much” skin- to be clear I don’t have a personal problem with that but we’re playing by the shows rules for teens. Pretending I have an exec to pitch these to.
3. It seems like the show has pretty limited fabric sim - keeping the silhouette close to the model, can’t really have loose fabric, boxy/oversized fits or super unique/specific textures (knit vs leather can probably be implied but don’t expect too much accurate detail)
Please ignore that I drew 3 purse designs. I don't have strong feelings about them.
Some of these designs I think are pretty basic and mid, a couple I really like, and some I think are a bit unrealistic. fun exercise nonetheless.
