Miraculous In Her Shadow Masterpost

Years after the last Ladybug vanished when the truth about Hawkmoth was revealed, A 14 year old outcast who just moved to Paris finds a mysterious pair of earrings, turning her world upside down. Now as Ruby Bug, the new holder of the Ladybug Miraculous, Elodie struggles with akumas, villains, and ghosts of the past that still linger from her predecessors’ actions.

—————————

Now for the F.A.Q!

Q: What is In Her Shadow?

A: In Her Shadow is a bad ending next generation AU where Marinette lost everything. The truth about Gabriel came out, her friends as well the people of Paris felt betrayed by Ladybug, and Marinette was mysteriously killed. Years later, Elodie discovers a pair of earrings in her new house, kickstarting a new age of heroes and akumas.

Q: Who is Elodie?

A: Elodie is the next Ladybug and while she isn’t related to Marinette or any of the akuma classes, her classmates are kids/relatives to Miraculous characters.

Q: What is Elodie like?

A: Elodie is very similar to Marinette in Season 1…except worse. A bullied, friendless social pariah with low self esteem and easily panics (being the new hero of Paris does not help…AT ALL).

Q: Will any of the Miraculous Ladybug characters show up?

A: Yes! Elodie will come into contact with many familiar Miraculous Ladybug characters.

Q: How much of canon will be canon here?

A: For the most part, yes. Though with some changes to characters and Season 6.

Q: How many seasons are planned?

A: 4 for now plus some specials.

Q: Any crossovers?

A: In Her Shadow is apart of a bigger universe…a Spotsverse you could say (get it? Spots?) with @thefcguy’s @miraculous-thenextspots @natedogx15’s Out of Their Element AU, @whiterosequeen23 @miraculousbrokenmirror, and @vigilante-bardock @liars-legacy-au so don’t be surprised if you see crossover posts with these two.

Q: Are we able to send asks?

A: YES!! Send me asks, send me fanart, let me know your thoughts!

More to be added.

EDIT: Updated cover art and synopsis!

[miraculousinhershadow]

Elodie stared at the phone in her hand, an ugly knot tightened itself in her stomach, “I…I don’t know, I don’t think I can-“

“Are you serious? You can’t do this one single thing for us? God, you’re such a baby sometimes.” Her other friend groaned.

What? No, she wasn’t a baby, she just-

“Ignore him, Elle,” That old nickname flowed all too easily off her friend’s tongue, “You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.”

Elodie sighed in relief, beginning to put the phone down.

“Of course, that would mean you don’t want to hang out with us anymore.”

“W-what? No, I-“

“I thought you were fun, Elodie, but maybe….you aren’t.”

Elodie’s hands, now sweaty and nervous, clamped around the phone tightly, “N-no! I am fun, I’m so, so fun.”

“Good, because if you aren’t,” The once familiar hand on Elodie’s shoulder now made her flinch, “Then why even bother being your friend at all?"

"No one would want to be friends with someone as boring as you, right?"

Her eyes glanced back and forth between the bright screen of the phone and her friends.

The knot didn’t go away even when her friends smiled and praised her.

Why didn’t she say no? Why didn’t she walk away? Say something?

Elodie is a coward.

The whole backstory behind Elodie’s reclusiveness, distrust, and even paranoia is because Elodie was very much like Sabrina, she was someone's lackey. She had friends, friends she had known since childhood lie and manipulate her. They took advantage of her and used her to do their dirty work. They made her feel small, crippled her self esteem so badly she might have never recovered from. They were eventually caught, only Elodie was dragged down along with them. She didn’t deny it, didn’t deny that she was a horrible person. Now she knows she was a victim, a toy to pressure and break until they got bored of her. To this day, Elodie is unsure if they were ever friends at all.

Spotsverse character ranking based on how likely they would get manipulated into being Lila's cult (Let's assume they dont know she is evil or have any prior knowledge)

Oooh okay, let's see..

So starting off most resistant, Rue from @miraculousbrokenmirror. Now i'm not just saying that bc she's the cool badass of the Spotsverse, I just think mentally she is the most stable.

Nico from @liars-legacy-au would also be more resistant to manipulation bc well that's his mom he knows the kind of shit she gets into.

@thefcguy's Henri, that one is more tricky. Maybe pre S1 into S1 Henri would be more susceptible, especially with his mental health being the lowest during that time.

I don't have enough info on @natedogx15 Olivia, so she's idk.

And finally your @duality-miraculous-au Emma, again like Henri it depends on the season. In season 1, she knows Lila as her best friend's mom, so she may be more willing trust another verse's version of Lila. But any other season? That could be a whole different story.

Despite everything, it’s still you.

Funny enough for Elodie, her journey is the opposite. She starts closed off, reserved, paranoid, and unsure (sound familiar?). The girl just moved to Paris having no friends or social community like Marinette had. But when she gains the Ladybug miraculous, everything changes.

Sure, she’s still paranoid (the pitfalls of being a superhero with a supervillain who can literally get in your head), but she starts opening up. Not only does she start trusting others, she starts to trust herself. She begins to trust her instincts as Ruby Bug, not just faking it. It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t quick, it wasn’t fun, but Elodie becomes more confident in herself. This transforms her from Ladybug’s copy to the next hero of Paris.

[duality-miraculous-au]

This post made me realise why Emma/Elodie compliment each other so well:

Elodie is what Marinette could have been, had she overcome her flaws and became the hero she was supposed to as shown in Timetagger.

Emma is what Marinette could be, if she continues to let herself delude into believing that she is always right, that she always will or has to be the hero of Paris. That she has to fix everything and never confront her flaws and feelings.

We even see this with how both of them handle there respective Lilas, with Elodie knowing the truth and not letting Lila break her character whereas Emma falls under the manipulation Lila subjects her to.

(Marinette seeing through Lila's bs, Lila coming up with muiltiple schemes to destroy her reputation but Marinette still doesn't get akumatized. But Lila also uses Marinette's jealousy and righteous nature to make her look bad.)

Elodie represents the best in Marinette, whereas Emma represents the worst.

[miraculousinhershadow]

Ooooh, i love that @catapuskai!

As I was thinking more about Elodie's personality and character, I realized that where she is in season 1 mirrors a lot of Marinette's in seasons 5-6. Sure, she doesn't quite match the level of craziness Marinette does. Elodie keeps people at arm's length, panics over the smallest things, and freaks out at the thought of someone knowing her identity. She doubts herself constantly as Ruby Bug and if it wasn't for the magic keeping the miraculous to her, she'd probably do what Marinette tried to do in Origins; hand off the miraculous to someone like Alya.

Even without Tikki's knowledge, Elodie has previously encountered people like Lila before. Before coming to Paris, she had been taken advantage of, lied to, and manipulated. She doesn't just hate lying or liars (like Marinette did), she hates it because she has been lied to before. She doesn't know the full extent of Lila's reach and she's also aware that she's a child going up against an adult. She can't be impulsive and doesn't have the resources to create convoluted (and sometimes crazy) plans.

We get to see what happens if someone like Marinette overcame her flaws naturally. Elodie knows she isn't always right, knows she isn't perfect, knows she has a long way to go as a superhero...and maybe that's a good thing. Making mistakes, screwing up, and failing just means we can get back up and try again. That's the kind of hope Elodie represents, the courage not just to stand, but to stand after falling.

In another life, Elodie would have been flattered to have the attention of one or even two hot people on her.

Except these two might be heirs to a cult, don’t know what personal space is, and terrify the shit out of her.

Finally drew something for Pride, why not our over-exhausted Ladybug and the Rossi terrors?

The Rossi Twins

Meet Lorenzo and Ginetta Rossi, the children of Lila Rossi.

They aren’t actually meant to appear until later seasons of IHS, but with previously talking about Lila and her organization (cough cult cough), I thought i’d introduced them.

In a nutshell, they’re double the trouble their mother was. They came to Dupont with the purpose of recruiting new members, finding lost souls to purify (and creating akumas).

One of their most important targets? Elodie Donnet. Such a fragile (weak minded) souls would make the perfect addition to thier cause (the perfect vicitim). So they use honeyed words, isolate her from her friends, and cast doubt on her self esteem (all tactics they have used before).

They don’t realize that this nobody is actually the heroine meant to bring them down.

A few years ago, Elodie might have been easily swayed by them. A younger Elodie might have taken them up on their offer of ‘purification.’ If she wasn’t fighting their victims, she wouldn’t be suspicious of them. But she knows something is up with them, their mother, and the organization that is “saving” kids.

[duality-miraculous-au]

I know i already did this but i decided to also do Emma's version(early S1)

I feel like Rue would find Emma find first. Emma would directly get in a fight an akuma as her heroic instincts will kick in and Rue would have to save her.

Rue and Emma interactions will be interesting. Not only are their personalities very different, one was forced on to be a hero while the latter actively chose it. Also there is Marinette. I feel like Emma would resent Rue for how she treats with her Marinette while Emma still grieves for her own. Tho Emma would defo help Rue jump on Ariette. Its on sight.

@whiterosequeen23 let me know what you think. What would Rue think of Emma?

Also curious about Nico and Elodie. (Tho i dont Nico will like her that much)

@fayflutter and @vigilante-bardock

[miraculousbrokenmirror]

Rue thinks of (early S1) Emma as both an annoying little sister but also someone who (in her mind) still has on rose tinted glasses on how the world works and how her parents were. She does sympathizes and understands with Emma’s grief of her Marinette but even then she needs to make decisions either of them can’t swallow. But Rue thinks Emma does have the drive to be a better hero than her

Rue would gladly take the help with Ariette and maybe teach Emma some ballet moves

@duality-miraculous-au

[duality-miraculous-au]

Perfect. And Emma will teach her gymnast moves. Wholesome sister-bonding. Rue could actually be a good influence on Emma.

But Rue would be disappointed if she met post S2 Emma who has some of Marinette's worst traits (as in choosing what's best for others)

[miraculousinhershadow]

As for Elodie, I think (early S1) Emma and her would balance each other out. Emma from what I’ve seen is quick to act, quick to leap while Elodie is very very cautious. As Ruby Bug she is confident, but under the mask, she hesitates to be spontaneous, to improvise, to wing it. They would make a good team, Elodie would help Emma take a minute and assess the situation while Emma would force her to take more risks. Maybe it’s the miraculous talking, but perhaps in another dimension, they could be the Ladybug and Chat Noir they desperately need in their own universes.

After listening to Billie Jean almost everyday....makes me wonder, did MIHS!Adrien ever sing this after having Darius?

I mean its a irrelevant headcanon but it would kinda hilarious if he did.

It wouldn’t be be canon but I would like it to be like the careless whisper from the MLB movie, Adrien plays it constantly XD

And Darius would be so embarrassed by it.

[miraculousbrokenmirror]

If Rue found herself back in time and met her young mother

—————————

“You’re pathetic..”

Marinette flinched hard at the blunt words from her.. future daughter.. She doesn’t even know what to think

“W-Well, how do you expect me to react huh!” Marinette tried to sound tough before withering when Rue glared at her.

How was this her daughter? What happened in the future to have a daughter that distrust her own mother?

“You could have faced the consequences head on and not have lied about a dead man..” Rue countered while stepping closer to her mother

“All this could have been avoided if you just been honest and not fulfill a dead man’s promise.. You would still have your friends, your life.. your relationship with Agreste..”

Marinette shrinks more and more as Rue drove into her and strip away any excuse she would have before feeling tears burned her eyes

Because in a way with how Rue described her future life.. She’s not wrong in being distrustful of her

“But.. I will say other than your poor decision and misplaced judgement.. You are a great mother and dare I say.. a great mentor..”

Hearing that does make Marinette feel a bit better

—————————————

While Rue distrust her mother, Marinette.. She won’t forget or discourage that Marinette is a great mother and mentor to her

If Elodie found herself back in time and met Marinette

(Aka Elodie’s version)

———————————————

Elodie sat in her bedroom or rather Marinette’s bedroom, watching the pigtailed girl pace around. It was strange seeing the dulled pink walls she was so accustomed to now fresh and vibrant. None of the furniture was hers, it felt awkward, making her readjusted her position occasionally. Even seeing Marinette made her uneasy. Sure she had seen pictures of the pigtailed girl, but it was like seeing a ghost. An impossible thing, something that shouldn’t be alive. It was unnerving.

“So you think that if you tell your boyfriend that his father was a monster, and he was a monster, it will shatter his life?”

“Yes.”

“But his life is already shattered, he lost his father, he’s grieving him, the whole city is grieving, but it’s not the real Gabriel Agreste they’re grieving, is it?” She had seen the golden statue, she knows that it won’t stay pristine for long. In her world, it’s damaged, defaced, and covered in graffiti. It was strange, like a pendulum swinging back and forth. In a couple of years, the same hero they cheer for will be the monster they despise and fear.

“I’m trying to protect him.”

“So lying about it was the better option? You’re protecting a terrorist, a dead one.”

“They can’t know, he can’t know, if they did…”

“You should understand, you’re a Ladybug, aren’t you?”

Elodie understood, only It wasn’t Marinette’s lying that she now understood. She now understood the state Marinette’s diaries. The frantic scribbling, the messy repeats and the crossed out words.

Seeing her in a panicked state reminded Elodie of well herself. How many times had she scrambled to do the right thing? To make the right choice? Elodie wasn’t chosen or trained or even prepared for the responsibility to take care of Paris. She wasn’t a licensed therapist, she stumbled over her words, occasionally said the wrong thing. It was all luck, she just so happened to find a pair of earrings in her room. After that, the dominos fell, whether she wanted them to or not.

“I understand, but that doesn’t mean I agree with them.” She wasn’t defending her, she lived through the aftereffects of Marinette’s actions. Marinette left behind a deep wound on Paris that its citizens continued to pick at to keep it from healing. They refused to forget what Ladybug did.

Elodie glanced around, her eyes falling on the pictures on the wall. She was slightly envious, why wouldn’t she be? Elodie was alone, she had no Chat Noir, no team, just a kwami and the advice from a dead girl who now stood before her alive and well.

“What about your friends? Do they know?”

“My best friend, Alya. She didn’t take it well, but I-I took care of it.” Marinette’s voice cracked as she spoke, putting up a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

Elodie’s head snapped back to Marinette, “What?”

“It’s fine, it’s okay, she doesn’t remember now.”

Elodie stepped closer to Marinette, grabbing her by the shoulders.

“What do you mean she doesn’t remember now?”

[miraculousinhershadow]

Flawless is all I need to be! To be! Predestined and elective I do all that they expect Paradise has got a spot for me!

(An Idle Brain Invites the Devil In from Salem the Musical)

Okay, so for a while I struggled with Lila’s role in In Her Shadow. But then I thought what if she started a cult? Imagine Lila with her manipulation and lying, created an organization that was believed to help others but she only actually profited from it.

When akumas start popping up, Lila’s organization appears, offering ‘heathy’ and ‘positive’ solutions to keeping the negative akumas away and to be purified. And who knows better than Ladybug’s ‘best friend?’ Except she’s only making them worse and it only helps in finding candidates to turn into her next victim.

And who is targeted the most? Teenagers.

Because to Lila, teenagers are more vulnerable, more easily manipulated, and faster to break them down than adults. When it’s not them asking to be saved, it’s their parents coming to her to save their child. And how could she refuse, having a child of her own?

Among those who have been ‘purified,’ are some of Elodie’s classmates.

Elodie knows Lila isn’t a good person and that Lila isn’t her predecessor’s friend from reading Marinette’s diaries. She just doesn’t know how rotten the woman truly is…

And Elodie might be Lila’s next target.

So for Elodie or Ruby Bug, she’d immediately be on guard. Look, she’s had a looooong night of nocturnal akumas, didn’t get any coffee in her, had a crappy day at school and is now in some mirror dimension?? Also Jester sort of scares her. Once she proves she’s also a Ladybug holder and they fight the akuma together, Elodie’s mood instantly changes to friendly.

Elodie/Ruby Bug: Oh, thank Kwami, another Ladybug!

Rue/Jester: A-are you okay?

Elodie/Ruby Bug: (on the verge of crashing out/ having a breakdown)….no, no I’m not.

Also her seeing Marinette after reading her diaries would be uncomfortable and very awkward bc imagine if the dead person whose private moments and thoughts you now knew about as well as living in her house was alive and talking to you right now.

Elodie keeps that teeny tiny thought to herself throughout her whole trip to Rue’s dimension.

(Quote from Hamilton Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story)

Elodie doesn’t have Marinette to guide her, instead she has her diaries. Since Elodie is living in Marinette’s old home, she finds some of her diaries that were accidentally left behind when Tom and Sabine moved.

Elodie doesn’t quite understand all that Marinette is saying or knows all of her secrets, but reading her entires at least makes her feel better about being Ladybug. Marinette wasn’t perfect, she made mistakes just like Elodie has. But how much Elodie can trust the words of a dead girl is yet to be seen…

The Price of Fame

Elodie didn’t know what she was getting into when she transformed for the first time. It wasn’t just the pressure of being a hero and the responsibility of an entire city.

It was the lack of privacy.

It started with whispers in the classroom, blurred pictures, comments on videos, then every tv had her masked face on it. Elodie couldn’t stop it, couldn’t stop everyone talking about her. They wanted to meet her, be saved by her, be loved by her. Elodie hated it. It was like a thousand ants under her skin, a thousand hands pulling at her from all directions, a thousand eyes burning into her skull.

Ruby Bug’s masked face for brands and commercials (but that wasn’t her, they didn’t look like her)

People spreading the craziest theories about Ruby Bug. (None of it was true)

Some of her classmates had crushes on Ruby Bug. (Why? She didn’t look that different in the suit, did she?)

It was Ruby Bug everyone wanted to know, not Elodie.

So why did Elodie feel like they were dissecting her?

Tearing her apart? Digging into her? Consuming her?

How long until there was nothing left of Elodie?

[miraculousbrokenmirror]

This is also happening to Rue but the only difference is that since she doesn't talk and that her whole face is covered instead of domino mask, the theories and fan love is ten times worse

And don't get her started on the merch and costumes that was made of Jester

She hates them.. Hates them to hell and back

[miraculousinhershadow]

Ooooh yeah, there’s so much merch being made of Ruby Bug. Keychains, costumes, plushies, everything. Everywhere Elodie goes, there’s always something with her face on it.

Elodie is extremely uncomfortable by the sight of them, because that’s her face they’re using, it’s her body that is being posed and positioned. But that’s not the only reason…

It’s the wrong face, it’s too light.

It’s too pale, her hair is the wrong color, her lips aren’t that red, why are her eyes so narrow? Why is her waist so skinny? She knows that the magic of the mask hides her face, but why does this image of her feel disturbing? And that brings a whole new level of twisted to it.

It’s not her…so why are they saying it is?

[miraculousbrokenmirror]

Rue got the other side of the stick in terms of merch distribution

Why does her costume look like that? Why does it look almost like… lingerie?

The toys are even worse, while the kid toys are something she can tolerate and maybe like..

Soo.. you know those anime figurines?

[miraculousinhershadow]

I know what figures you are referring to, it’s gross. (They probably also make body pillows of them bc of course they would ew.)

Elodie is 14-15 (a minor) and has a somewhat of a flat figure, so seeing certain and exaggerated features on her body (or at least that’s supposed to be her body?) is very, VERY weird to her and makes her even more self conscious.

The costumes don’t help. (Why is there so much skin? Why is one just a spotted bikini? And why is there one that has the s word in front of Ruby Bug?)

Pretty sure she once saw an online auction for strands of her hair and people were bidding for them. Were they even hers? Or did someone just lie and said they were Ruby Bug’s and fans bid for them? She had to bleach her eyes with hours of cute cat videos after that.

At that point, it’s like looking into uncanny valley (the phenomenon, not the character).

The Ruby Bug everyone sees isn’t even Elodie anymore, it’s not Elodie, it’s not her.

I wonder if @thefcguy Henri or @vigilante-bardock Nico have to deal with anything like this? In their AU?

[liars-legacy-au]

It’s complicated in Liar’s Legacy. On one hand, there are people who support the new Ladybug Novius, and then there are people who believe’s Ladybug’s lie on Novius being a thieving imposter.

Anyways, Novius does get merch, and it surprisingly very tame. He gets figurines, that feature him saying really cringy phrases that are actually some guy just saying Ladybug’s lines. Sometimes they make figures that redesign his costume entirely, which he doesn’t really mind. Except for the one where he’s dressed in a ballet costume. He hates that one.

Now, social media is his actual worse nightmare. Every week there is a new challenge on involving somebody being stupid just to get his attention. (Throwing themselves off a building, intentionally getting akumatized)

And then there are the fans online. Nico has seen some very cursed comments(ranging from “mildly weird” to “send this person to prison right now!”)shipping, and even cursed fan art of him.

Nico swears that if he sees another self ship featuring him and someone’s OC, he will willingly get akumatized and crash out hard.

I m curious to see if @thefcguy Henri has to deal with anything like that?

[miraculousinhershadow]

The fanart and the fanfics that are made on Ruby Bug are cringe and cursed, more than Y/N wattpad fanfics. She knows some of the kids at Dupont probably make them. And everytime she sees someone ship themselves or an OC with her, she gets nauseous.

Elodie is so close to digging her own grave and laying down in it.

On a lighter note, the Spotsverse gang probably gets together at some point and bashes on all the merch of themselves.

[miraculousbrokenmirror]

Rue wishes she got the cringe and cursed fanfics that Nico and Elodie get but the amount of x Jester smut fic she found had her wanting to drink bleach

(This fact is inspired by the amount of Chat Noir fics I found when Miraculous was first released)

Rue had a fan once try to pull her mask off once after an akumatization

[liars-legacy-au]

It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fans themselves. Nico could not begin to tell you how many fangirls kept asking to marry him.

[catapuskai]

You know what's funny?(honestly shouldn't be) Lila/Lady Nova, the adult, would be the least sexualised as she is seen as this pure saint like figure who was entrusted ladybug. Not to say she wouldn't have her fair share of creepy fans, but the media would praise her for being very proper and lady-like.

[miraculousinhershadow]

@catapuskai What about Emma/Kitty Claw? Even when framed and vilified, does she deal with anything similar to this?
