So I sent an ask to @lenoreofraven with this idea based of “Adrien Just Wants a Friend” oneshot but I got a bunch of ideas so I was like: “Let’s write this out”
- so basically after that, Marinette feels horrible, enough that Hawkmoth targets her, (Gabriel may worst worst dad ever but I hope he would have enough decency to not akuma his son), so she turns into the Dollmaker.
- she creates two life sized dolls, one referred to “Dollinette” who’s super chipper. In stead of her usual attire, Dollinette wears a pink dress, white socks, black Mary Janes and a black coat. She was tasked with watching the Ladybug earrings so she wears her hair down to cover them.
- because Dollinette isn’t Marinette, the ladybug earrings go back into their inhabited form, meaning Tikki is gone.
- Dollinette is basically Marinette 2.0. One of the first thing she does is ask Kagami if they can start over, mentioning it was Adrien who asked her to come with him on the date.
- then she apologizes to Adrien, stating “you can accept the apology, but I don’t expect you to forgive me. And that’s okay” before heading to her seat.
- She pretty much apologizes to everyone. Even if she didn’t cause their akumatized form.
- she doesn’t go after Lila either.
- it’s almost uncomfortable how chipper she is.
- when either doll is cut, rather than bleed, red yarn leaves the cut. If it isn’t patched up, they return to a more standard doll format.
- The other doll is called “Mygalomorphae” who is tasked with finding the Chat Noir ring. Once found, Dollinette hands over the earrings.
- Mygalomorphae wears a black body suit. The boots and gloves are black with silver web marks. She wears a pointed black mask. Her eyes are pure white. Her canines are also elongated so they look like a spider’s mandibles. Her hair is in Marinette’s signature ponytails, but they’re longer and sharper looking.
- Unlike the Dollmaker and Dollinette, Mygalomorphae doesn’t talk.
- Both Dollinette & Mygalomorphae can see through each other’s eyes if needed.
- She’s also extremely smart, as a drawing of Chat Noir’s ring was enough for her to realize Adrien’s ring matched the design perfectly after looking through Dollinette’s eyes.
- It takes until Mygalomorphae is chasing Chat Noir before anyone realizes that the Dollinette looks almost identical to Mygalomorphae.
- And now they know who was akumatized.
- Dollinette’s sweet exterior shatters when then class turns against her, voicing Marinette’s true feelings about her classmates, like Adrien knowing Lila was lying and won’t do anything or Alya not sourcing her facts.
- “it’s not like Marinette has Jagged Stone in her contacts or can talk to Ladybug like how she got you that interview or something. Oh wait. She could.”
- Dollmaker is one of those akuma’s that still look like themselves, like Lady Wifi, so ignoring the long hair, tear stained cheeks and outfit, she still looks like Marinette.
- She doesn’t really care if Hawkmoth wins or loses. Her whole goal is to just avoid Adrien without missing school.
- She specifically created Dollinette to have more free will than Mygalomorphae so she didn’t come off as robotic.
- Dollmaker is the only one of the three who can communicate with Hawkmoth, meaning both Dollinette & Mygalomorphae are free of his influence.
I may add more stuff later. Maybe. I don’t know yet.
