Had a hard time trying to come up with an idea for Adrien, then I remembered that boy has a list of trauma and all I gotta do is use one of them. So I used his loss of identity as one of them. As Cheshire he’s like Chat Noir—he acts exactly like Chat Noir but more sinister and darker. He plays tricks on people and can disappear like the Cheshire Cat. His minions have the ability to turn people into laughing clowns if they touch them. His puns come to life, and he has a juggle act.
He has no filter when it comes to Ladybug/Marinette, he’s always trying to woo her in battle.
-Marinette noticing how emotionally unstable the akuma is, and trying to keep him calm. She tries to tell him to stop being an akuma. She doesn’t want him to get hurt.
-’Let Ladybug and the other cure you, I am sure we can talk to your dad.’
-Emoticon looking at Marinette, hugging her.
-”I don’t want my father to take me away from you and the others.” His emotions were sad.
-Marinette seeing how much She means to him, She holds him, allowing him to be vulnerable.
-Rena rogue, Queen bee, and Carapace jump in. Emoticon gets protective of Marinette.
-”I won’t let you take her away from me!”
- Rena rogue being giddy because her ship is SAILING. Queen bee yelling at her to focus (and also cause she is jealous)
-Emoticon seeing Lila at some point and being super mad.
Based off the Adrien akuma I came up with for the Two Souls AU. Instead of Kagami becoming Onichan, Adrien, not in a good mood, is overwhelmed and more upset about Lila’s antics. He wants to take back control.
Ever since his mom disappeared, Adrien had the occasional day where he just didn’t feel good. Days where he would just wake up, and feel that things were not going to be great, no matter how he cheered himself up. Still, he knew the day would pass, and the feelings would stop, and he would be okay. If he just smiled and pretended to be okay, he would be okay.
But then, Lila just had to enter the picture.
He had been doing his best to just get through the day. There was no fencing, no modeling and no piano lessons. Just a day to relax, maybe hang out with Nino on video call and watch as he and Alya explore the city together. Or, if Hawkmoth felt like making an appearance, wait for an akuma to show up and have his day brightened up by seeing his beloved Ladybug again.
“Hey, dude,” Nino greets him, giving him their custom handshake, “How’s it going?”
“It’s going good,” he forces himself to say, “I’ve got a pretty chill day off.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah. Actually I was thinking, would it be cool if I could come over to play Ultimate Mecha Strike III with you?”
“Aw, dude that would be so sick!” his face practically lights up for a moment. But then, there’s an awkward pause and he looks kind of sad, “But, um, actually, I can’t. Promised to help Alya with something.”
“Oh.”
“Uh, but I know someone else you can hang out with instead!” he insists, “Lila said she needed help with homework!”
And that was how he got roped into helping Lila. He made sure not to have an attitude about it or make Lila feel bad about needing help, but just for once, he wished he could have said no. Sure, he tried telling her that his dad wouldn’t approve of her coming over, but that didn’t stop her. She managed to lie to his assistant and get access to his room.
He envied Plagg, who avoided having attention be put on him. He could move about the room, so long as he wasn’t seen. Adrien, on the other hand, was subject to Lila making herself all too comfortable at home, touching all of his valuables, lying in his bed and rummaging through his photos. When Nathalie, mercifully, decided to end her visit, Lila just had to make things worse.
Taking her phone out, she got close next to him, kissed him on the cheek, and then ran out, sending it to all of her contacts.
He felt all the color drain out of his face.
People touching him, whether he liked it or not, wasn’t new to him. He was a model after all. He had to get touched up, dressed and evaluated. Girls, fans and friends alike, were prone to cling to him, wanting his affection. He tried his best not to make a scene so as to not embarrass his father, but all he ever wanted was to be able to tell some of them to back off.
“Just smile and bare it, Adrien. You don’t want to get in trouble with the campaign managers, do you?”
And so, it was just secondhand nature to him at that point to just take it, even if he really didn’t want to. Besides, he couldn’t risk upsetting Lila - what if she got akumatized? He recalled her actions as Volpina and Chameleon, being some of the hardest akumas he had to fight to date. He didn’t want to risk going up against her again anytime soon.
But that leaves him trapped. He’s not allowed to fight back. He’s Adrien Agreste. Perfect model, perfect son, perfect, perfect, perfect perfect perfectperfectperfect-
“Space Patrol. I am Hawkmoth. Are you tired of everyone picking and prodding at you? Too nice to get people to back off? I’m giving you the power to manipulate space and dimensions around you to your bidding. All you have to do is get me the miraculouses of Ladybug and Chat Noir? Do we have a deal?”
He knows it’s not right to take up the offer.
Still...
“I’m done with everyone taking advantage of me.”

Today was another victory for Lila Rossi. Not only did she get to see that pathetic Marinette land in the garbage for being such a pest (Lila felt merciful and did not take a picture), but she knew it burned her up to see that Lila got to kiss Adrien.
It was just another step towards her goal of making Adrien her boyfriend. He would be putty in her hands soon enough.
And of course, all of her “friends” at school would soon enough ask about the happy couple. If Nino asked about it? Then she would just have to explain that Adrien asked her to kiss him. He had feelings for her. It wouldn’t even be that difficult of a lie to pull off. A shame, because it was starting to get boring just how easy it was to dupe all of these people.
She goes to turn around the corner, but finds herself... frozen? The area around her starts to lose its shape, and she finds herself limited in her movement. She can’t move to her sides, only capable of moving back and forth. It feels like an old fashioned arcade game that she’s used to seeing everyone talk about and love online (she hasn’t played herself, though if asked, she is of course the National Champion in Italy).
“What’s wrong, Lila? Don’t like it when someone takes control of your space?”
She doesn’t want to, but she’s able to turn around and come face to face with a familiar someone.
His outfit is completely tacky, and is something out of one of those silly Power Ranger-esque shows. He has a bright white suit, with the torso being black, trimming around the wrists and ankles being gold, and a white and gold helmet, the visor off to reveal his face. A gold badge sits on the right side of his torso, with the words SPACE PATROL printed on them.
“A-Adrien? Is that you?”
“My proper title is Space Patrol. And Lila Rossi, you have committed the offense of disturbing my personal space. For that, I will confine you to a space to make you understand how you made me feel.”
With a snap of his fingers, a small hole opens up in the ground below her, and she drops down in the sewage system.
Kind of an akuma!Adrien idea I’ve been playing with.
Adrien’s the face of the new Gabriel modelling campaign, and it sucks for him. The publicity means that his fans are crazier than ever, the Gorizilla perfume ad times a hundred, and with all of the appearances and signings and things that he has to do as the face of the campaign, Adrien barely has time to sleep, let alone hang out with his friends, and his ability to be Chat Noir is limited as well. Adrien is exhausted.
But finally, he has a day off, and he can hang out with his friends!
Until his father upsets his schedule at the last minute, and sends him to an autograph and fan picture session.
Adrien is furious. How dare his father do this! Adrien hates these sorts of things, people constantly in his space wanting his time and his attention, and there are so many things Adrien would rather be doing! They could have a mannequin out here modeling these clothes and it would have the same effect! Why does Adrien have to sacrifice his time, with his friends, with his Lady, for people who only want a piece of him-not the real him, but the image that his father sells them!
And then.....
“Hello Memequin. I am Hawkmoth. You think everyone wants a piece of you? Well, I’m giving you the power to give your adoring fans exactly that.”
Memequin then gains the ability to spread himself, like a virus, transforming everyone around him into copies of Adrien under his control, and soon Paris is confronting an entire hive-minded army of Adrien lookalikes!
Can Ladybug master her heart to save the boy she loves and her unknown partner?
