I will probably have the whole finished piece on my patreon.

Nathaniel Kurtzberg > Chevalier

Nathaniel Kurtzberg is given the Horse Miraculous, and his superhero name is ‘Chevalier’, which is French for ‘Knight’, and an extension of ‘Cheval’ which means ‘Horse’. He is called ‘Chev’ for short.

Chevalier incorporated as many elements from Mightyllustrator as he could without blatantly giving away his civilian identity. ‘Super Nathan’ was his original fantasy of being a superhero, after all.

Unique to Chevalier is his hair, which instead of being spiked backwards, is a quick weave bang with a ponytail to match his kwami’s hair. Furthermore, his costume is made to emphasize that he is ‘chivalrous and dependable’ with broader shoulders.

Nathaniel, the anime nerd, tries to go for the mysterious, flirtatious hero persona, like Tuxedo Mask, but more often than not he comes off as pompous and ridiculous, utterly RIDICULOUS.

Nathaniel gets his Jewish heritage from his Ashkenazi mother (and inherits her maiden surname, to protect the Kurtzberg family name) while his father is a Cajun from “Louisiane, la province perdu” [Louisiana, the lost province]. To hide his identity and fit his flirty persona, Chevalier is going for a Cajun accent (like Gambit) and can pull it off quite convincingly; not that there are many Parisians that even know what a Cajun accent sounds like.

Chevalier has an excellent camaraderie with the Goat Miraculous Wielder [Marc]. He refers to her as “Petite Dame (Little Lady)”.

One day when Nathaniel was painting a very dramatic scene that utilized a lot of black and winter colours, the Horse Kwami wanted to help brighten up the gloomy picture by dipping her tail into his yellow paint and adding a sun. Nathaniel gives the Kwami her own journal and materials for her to use in her own way and not “get creative” all over his works again. Every so often, they will do a work together though.

The Horse Kwami loves apple slices and carrots.

I have absolutely no idea what the Power or Abstract concept for the Horse Miraculous could be, (Freedom? Beauty? Devotion?) but Nathaniel is given the Horse due to his ability to recognize the beauty of all things, and his desire to be free to express himself more.

Thanks for reading!

“This is my Worker Bee!”

Still part of my “Nath finds out Chloe’s Identity Au thing.” I like to think that she likes to bring attention to him and embarrass him by giving him cute nicknames in front of journalists.

Another colored sketch that I finished tonight on a burst of inspiration :) MLB is taking over... And I just fell in love with my first crack ship of this fandom, as it’s traditional for me ;) I want to say a big thank you to all the people that have been creating content for this ship so far, you’re the reason I’m here! Hope you enjoy!
