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.
Peacock Alya x Sentimonster Marinette - You Were Everything (I Miss You)
Marinette stared at the friend she had thought was the one thing she could count on in this world. However... she'd changed... or perhaps it was Marinette that had changed. Death changes everything, and finding out you died and she stole magical artifacts from a cult who stole them from a secret society that tried to protect them just to clone you to bring you back made it a thousand times worse.

Sentimonster Marinette x Peacock Alya - But I Still Wake Up And I Still See Your Ghost
Some nights, Alya stays up, cashing in her bad luck. Some nights, she'll call it a draw. Some nights, she wishes that her lips could build a castle. Some nights she'd tear them off.
But she still wakes up, and still sees her ghost.
She just couldn't figure out what she stood for any more, and seeing her dead crush every day was torment.
Prompt: Alya is tired of hiding and training in the shadows, watching her girlfriend protect Paris without her. Her mentor keeps on telling her to wait until it gets to a point that Chat Noir and Ladybug need help. The reason being is that they need time to learn how to work in sync with each other first. When Volpina appears, Alya cannot stand by any longer. (Peacock!Alya)
FEATHERS SPREAD!
For @ladybehindtheblog
Alya was walking back to school, she remembered that there was something that she left in her locker and she needed it for her homework. She was reviewing the forms on the Ladyblog making sure that everything was in order. She was absorbed in her phone until she heard screaming, her blog completely forgotten as she halted in her tracks and looked for the source of the scream. She saw people pointing to the sky and saw a large meteor flying towards the city and she knew that she had to do something. She wanted to transform but there were too many people around.
Before Alya had the chance to run off to hide, she spotted a figure dressed in orange appear and push the meteor away from the city. Something was wrong about this entire situation, she could feel it. Like how did a meteor that large get so close to the ground, most of it should have burnt up in the atmosphere. Something was clearly wrong here and Alya did not like this. She did not stick around long as she left the area and ducked into the nearest alleyway. She needed to talk to her kwami and fast. When she found a safe area to let Seikko out she opened her messenger bag. “Seikko we need to talk.”
“What is it Alya?” The Peacock kwami flew out of the back and floated in front of his chosen. Arms were crossed as he glanced over his chick to make sure she wasn’t hurt.
“Something isn’t right here and I don’t like it. Maybe we should check it out.” She explained glancing back at where she just came from. She could not get that nagging feeling out of her gut, that person dressed in orange was just screaming bad news to her. “There are too many things that don’t match up with what just happened. You told me the Miraculous Armor can protect against heat, but I don’t think that they could protect someone against the heat of a falling meteor.” She pointed out to her kwami, eyes narrowing as she put the facts she had together. Then she heard the orange “superhero” no Volpina call out that she was the only superhero that Paris needs.
Seikko looked at Alya knowing that there was no point in talking the reporter out of doing this. He knew that if this was the Fox Miraculous being activated, that the chosen wouldn’t be acting like this. As one of the five protectors of the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous, it was his job to ensure that those two Miraculous never fell into the wrong hands and that they were allowed to do their job. He explained that to Alya, and his chosen’s hero forms reflected that. The way that this Volpina was acting, did not match how she should be acting if that was a true Miraculous she had. “Very well. Only intervene if you think it’s absolutely necessary.” Normally he liked to show off and he would encourage his Chosen to do the same. This situation required a level of precision that his normal advice would not support.
“Of course. Seikko! Feathers Spread!” She cried out as she moved her shirt to reveal the Peacock Miraculous that was pinned to her right hip. The kwami flew into the gem just like all of the previous times. She brought her hand from the left side of her face to her right side in an arch as her mask appeared after her hand. A skin tight body spread across her skin, covering everything up to her neck. Her Miraculous kept her belt that transitioned into peacock feathers in the back. Her fans hid underneath the belt and as her transformation ended. She looked around and knew that she had to get to the roofs to get the information she needed. She took a running start and jumped onto the wall and then pushed off to the other wall directly opposite of it and continued that until she was on the roof. She knew that Ladybug and Chat Noir had her beat in terms of mobility due to their weapons but she didn’t need no such thing.
She knew that if there was a time to put all of her training to work, today was the day. She thanked the incredible eyesight that Seikko gave her, so she was able to keep a safe distance from the duo, now a trio without risk getting spotted. Using the buildings as cover she watched them interact and it was clear to her that Ladybug did not like Volpina, and she could not blame her. Something was off about the newest hero. She knew that she hasn’t exactly been forthcoming about her own presence, but that was at the request of her mentor. Her eyes traveled around seeing if there was anything else that was abnormal and Hawk Moth’s appearance was definitely something that fell in that category. “Hawk Moth?” She muttered to herself in surprise. After all of the Akuma attacks, he never showed his face once. Now to appear in person either meant that he was feeling incredibly bold and quite frankly stupid or this was a massive trick. After everything that Paris has been through, Alya had a good feeling it was the later.
When the trio split up, warning flags were going off in Alya’s mind. She didn’t know who to follow, she knew that Ladybug and Chat Noir could both handle themselves just fine on their own. Volpina was acting super suspicious which made her want to trail her instead of Ladybug. She thought about the safety of her girlfriend and decided against it. She could be overreacting to the entire situation, which she’s been told by Nino has happened before. Alya took a deep breath as she tried to calm her nerves, maybe Volpina was in the same situation that she was in. Volpina could have a mentor that just told her now that it was okay to reveal herself.
She knew that she didn’t get the okay by her mentor, however this felt like an emergency and knew that the former Peacock Miraculous holder would understand if she explained it at her next training session. Shaking her head, Alya knew that she needed to focus in. This was an incredibly bad spot to get caught in by her girlfriend. She already knew that this would be a long conversation when she finally revealed herself to the public. Revealing herself to Ladybug by getting caught stalking her would just make the matters worse. She knew that Ladybug’s hearing was worse than Chat’s meaning she could get closer without fear of being detected. She didn’t know how her hearing compared to Chat Noir’s however but she was close enough to hear Ladybug wonder where Hawk Moth went off to.
She peaked her head around the corner to see if Laybug was still alright, and she was thankfully. Until she took one too many steps and saw all these weapons appear out of nowhere and were pointed directly at Ladybug. Once again, she got that feeling that these were not real. It was the same one like with the meteor only stronger. She wondered if this was because she was transformed, Seikko mentioned that her Miraculous represented truth. So it would make sense that lies did not affect her as much as the others.
When the conversation between Ladybug and Volpina started, she had to pull one of her fans out and bit down on it. HARD. She was getting so riled up with what Volpina... now revealed as Lila was saying. She didn’t know what happened between those two that ended up with Lila becoming Akumatized but she knew that she couldn’t stand by anymore. She jumped a few more rooftops to get into a better position to present herself for the first time. When she heard Volpina demand the Miraculous and Ladybug telling her to wait, that was when she showed herself. “You know Volpina, illusions are just as bad as lying.”
Alya grinned as she pulled out her second fan and threw them both at the massive amount of weapons pointed at Ladybug and all of them dissipated in a puff of smoke. When her fans returned she caught them with ease and glared at the Akuma victim. She was having issues telling if this one was real or not to her disappointment. So instead she jumped onto the roof that Ladybug was standing on. She could feel her girlfriend’s eyes dig into her costume, so much for having a nice conversation tonight. “Who are you supposed to be?” Alya heard Ladybug ask and she never expected those words to hurt so much. She could hear the hostility in her voice, and she couldn’t blame her if she was honest. If the roles were reversed she probably would have had the same reaction. Two supposed heroes appear out of nowhere on the same day and one of them turns out to be one of Hawk Moth’s victims.
“Pavonne. It’s a bad name, it’s the first one I could come up with if I’m honest.” Pavonne admitted with a smile on her face, she might love everything involving superheroes. That never meant that she was good at naming them, or being creative at that either. “I’ll explain later.” She replied tensing up for the impending fight, knowing that Ladybug was the leader and she needed to follow her lead. Which wasn’t going to be a problem, she does that enough while she was just plain old Alya.
“No we talk now.” Ladybug said firmly as she threw her yo-yo at Volpina and just like the weapons that Pavonne destroyed, Volpina disappeared in a puff of smoke. “Prove to me that you aren’t one of Volpina’s illusions or tricks.” Ladybug commanded as she pulled her yo-yo back watching Pavonne carefully.
The feathered hero knew that she had two choices. Either she would explain the situation with words or show Ladybug first hand. She could tell that today might be a long night, so she might miss their date so she decided to go with showing. A slight smirk appeared on the heroine’s face as she closed the gap between her and Ladybug in a blink of an eye and brought the spotted heroine into a passionate kiss. She could feel that at first Ladybug was taken completely off guard but quickly relaxed into it. Just like every single other time that they kissed, the only difference was that Marinette was not the only one in spandex. When the two parted for air, there was surprise and hurt on Ladybug’s face. “Alya? You have a Miraculous? Since when? Why didn’t you tell me?” The questions spewed out of the more experienced hero as Pavonne just laughed.
“Easy buggie, I’ll tell you later okay? We have an Akuma to catch. But don’t worry about me, I can handle myself.” The Peacock Miraculous holder teased as she ran towards the direction that she saw Volpina run off to. Leaving a dumbstruck Ladybug in her wake. Ladybug quickly shook her head and gathered her bearings, letting Chat Noir on the situation… and who the real hero joining their team.
