How am I supposed to fit that under name in legal documents?!?!
The Beginning part 5
Multiple bright lights filled the room. “Pixie. What the hell are you wearing!”
“I am Ladybird right now Hood. I am the leader of Team Miraculous and Kagami Mizuchi is my second in command. We are fighting Hawkmoth, who I am 90% sure I know his identity already, but he can possess people with butterflies and make them the equivalent of Superman and evil. Imagine if he got Superman. Paris would not be brought back.”
After a lot of explaining the three shared how they met.
Marinette was 10 and Kagami 11. They were on an adventure with Nonna Gina in Gotham and had stumbled across a half dead Red Hood. They took him back to the hotel room and patched him up. Marinette even made him a new helmet. For about two months the four had been inseparable. Until it came time to return to Paris. The four, without Sabine or Tomoe’s knowledge, had gotten matching red bat symbol tattoos. After a month back in Paris Jason had shown up at the bakery. Sabine nearly killed him when she found out he was the other person to allow them to get tattoos. But after she made him tell her everything she adopted him. He was now her son.
The three stayed in contact and video called weekly. After explaining everything and returning Jason to Gotham, Marinette drooped. That had been exhausting.

When they had turned 14 Lila Rossi came. She instantly tried to lie and get Adrienne to like her by saying she knew Ladybird. That backfired on her. When confronted by Marinette she threatened.
She tried to frame her for cheating but when the class heard that they laughed. She was their TA. Not a student. Over time Lila got the class excluding the team, Alix, Nathaniel and Max to turn on Miss Dupain and harass her. It was horrible. But again she could do nothing. A TA couldn’t say she was being bullied by a Student.

Marinette ran to Master Fu’s. Adrienne had stolen the peacock and the grimoire back from her father.
They had left fakes behind. But after fixing the broach Master Fu fell ill. During school she had gotten a call from him. He was dying.
Running in she knelt next to the man she considered a grandfather.
“Fu. No. Please.” Tears dripped from her eyes onto her cheeks but she didn’t care.
“I, Wang Fu, pass grand guardianship onto Marinette Wu-San Dupain and name all true holders and Adrienne Agreste guardians under her.”
Marinette sobbed. “Young one. Don’t cry. I will be joining my beloved. Listen to me. The black cat needs it’s true holder. Adrienne was barely compatible and it is killing her. She needs the peacock miraculous.”
He lifted a hand to her cheek. “You were the best granddaughter I could hope for.” His hand fell and his eyes closed.
“Grandfather? Fu? No. Please wake up. I can’t lose you.”
And Hawkmoth showed pity to the girl crying over her Grandfather's body.

Two days later Marinette spoke with Adrienne. “I love you Adrienne. But, like I love Kagami. I’m sorry. But I see you as a sister.”
Adrienne responded that she felt similarly. “Adrienne. I need the ring. You aren’t the true holder. It’s why you don’t show any animal qualities. You are the peacock.”
Adrienne took the broach with no words and pinned it onto her shirt. The ring was placed in Marinette’s bag.
“Call me Violette.” She smirked as she transformed. Her skin was pale blue and her eyes a hot pink. She was dressed in a dark blue tail suit that had feather designs at the edges. In her hands was a feather fan with wicked blades at the ends.
“I know my father is Hawkmoth. The second we find the cat and train him, promise me that we will take him down.” Marinette hugged her. “I promise.”
Reluctantly leaving her friend she headed towards home.
She never made it.
