Decided to revisit my Dog!Alya design!

Continuing this nonsense au

(I can't draw right now, and I need to get it out of my system)

Marinette is best friends with Chloé (they're the mean girls)

She's the daughter of the most famous/expensive confectioners in all of Paris

She's a klepto and pick pockets the ladybug miraculous from Fu before he could give it to an appropriate holder

Her hero name is Lady Vermilion

She is the sole defence against Hawkmoth for a while and is perceived very positively by the public

Sabrina takes on Marinette's canon role and is constantly victimised by Chloé and Marinette

Que Alya's transfer to the class, her and Sabrina become fast friends and they bond over their mutual love for Lady Vermilion

Sabrina passes one of Fu's dumb tests and gets the black cat miraculous - becomes Calico

After Fu sees Alya help Calico while Lady Ver is down from an akuma attack, he gives her the dog miraculous

Alya becomes Huntara and Calico and her partner up!

(Fetch has a different ability, I don't know what yet, but it's something stronger. Maybe it's something like stealing distance between the user and targets the ball hit? Dunno lol)

After the akuma gets defeated, Lady Ver welcomes them to the hero business and tells them that one day, they might be as great as her if they try hard enough, because this time they definitely just got lucky

Lady Ver is fake nice to them in a condescending and belittling way, she's very angry and concerned that they might steal her spotlight

Alya and Sabrina are unaware of each others' secret identities because they don't know each other well enough to know if they're acting out of character or trying to cover for something but they will figure it out eventually

They do hero stuff, and Lady Ver usually steals the spotlight

She usually only appears for very dangerous akumas and lets Calico and Huntara deal with the small fries

Enter Adrien- dun dun dun!

He's also a mean girl™

Marinette still has a thing for him, but Adrien and Chloé are too oblivious to notice her advances and

Something something happens, Marinette gets the opportunity to snatch the bee miraculous from Fu

She gives it to Chloé and reveals her secret identity to her, believing that as a duo, they have better chances to rival the rising in popularity cat and dog duo

Chloé becomes Queen Frelon

Seeing the increasing amount of miraculous in play, Hawkmoth recruits his disgruntled estranged son and gives him the broken peacock miraculous (father of the year, ladies and gentlemen)

Adrien becomes Fanfare and almost immediately gets sick after detransforming

(He's probably not a senti-baby here...? Idk)

Fanfare eventually recruits Lady Vermillion and Queen Frelon from the shadows to start his own cause because there is no way that he's going to give the ladybug and black cat miraculous to his incompetent father

Queen Frelon and Lady Ver start openly sabotaging Calico and Huntara and try to set them up as fall guys for Fanfare's plan

Love square is Huntara/Alya->Calico->Alya<-Sabrina

Felix arrives and eliminates Hawkmoth/Gabriel with Adrien/Fanfare's help after figuring out their identities

Felix gets the butterfly and becomes Jaded Majesty

Lady Ver and Queen Frelon fully switch sides, and Lady Ver uses her influence to start portraying Huntara and Calico as villains, and the heroes become wanted criminals

The new actual villain team carefully craft a plan through which they will practically have full control over Paris

The goal is still to get the black cat from Calico, but their wish is now to heal Adrien

And yeah, that's as far as I have this au roughly outlined XD

[alternativemiraculous]

Lila is a better Fox than Alya, Alya should have a Miraculous that is related to investigating.

Rossi is resourceful, creative, mischievous and a natural lier. She messes up yet she knows how to cover herself. Even her job as an Akuma was incredibly well done (Volpina is still one of my fav Akuma battles). If she had the motivation (instead of being a villain worse than the villains of the show because As--/truc likes to demonize teenagers) and Trixx, she'd be one of the best heroes. I truly believe she's the most fit for the Fox.

Alya, on the other hand, is clever; but she isn't as tricky and shady as Lila is. She's a more sincere and direct person and has a flashy personality (Lila has a flashy persona, but she's still a shady person, there's a difference). I believe she's more of a simple illusionist than Lila, her lies/illusions aren't be as complicated as Lila's (or even Marinette's) . Alya, I think, fits better Miraculouses that allow her to be either quicker or detectivesque. Alya knows lots of things on how to investigate (aside from the shitty "Alya believes Lila", which I think forces Al to be ooc just to have drama), so a Kwami related to tracking or seeing the truth would fit her better as she's passionate and experienced about that. Maybe Alt!Peafowl!Alya (Alt!Peafowl: Peafowl having aura and intuition powers, seeing hidden things, auras, intention, etc) or Alt!Dog (one of my Dog theories: having tracking powers, via smell or via bonding with allies). She's not exactly a front liner but she isn't as aloof as I think the Fox should be. So I think either of these two options would allow her to be on her own while still fitting the teamwork mechanic, and she could use her signature ability: investigating.

Also imagine truth seeker Alya and lier Lila being a duo. Hating each other yet having to work together.

I was planning on having another ref sheet for bull!Kagami as well, but I lost steam. Anyway, dog!Alya concept sketches.
