It will always be extremely hilarious to me that French fans (and French-speaking fans) of Miraculous had it basically told to them at the start of the show that Gabriel was Hawkmoth/le Papillon. Why? Because “Agreste” is the French name for a Grayling Butterfly. Pretty much all of the characters’ last names (and some first names) have a tie to an important aspect of their character (Chloe Bourgeois being a glaringly obvious one), and them having one of the main leads (and thus his father) have a name of a butterfly is just too funny to me.

“A mysterious butterfly supervillain has appeared! Who could he possibly be??”

“Uh… maybe the guy literally named after a butterfly?”

“So mysterious!”

Emilie Graham de Vanily spent her life training to be a ballerina. All she wanted to do was perform. One of her most famous performances was that of the ballet Le Papillon. It was there on that set that she met Gabriel Agreste---only a seamstress's assistant at the time, with big dreams of becoming a famous fashion designer one day.

Unfortunately, Emilie's time in the spotlight as a ballerina would be short-lived. A devastating injury sharply ended her career. Hoping to achieve the next best thing, Emilie turned her sights to becoming an actress. Another flame, it seemed, destined to burn out too quickly...
