Adrien Agreste

Adrien Agreste a.k.a. Cat Noir is Marinette's crush, although he is oblivious to that and only sees Marinette as a friend. Adrien comes from a wealthy family, is half French, half English and is a popular fashion model for the clothing company of his father Gabriel, but he laments his father's distant relationship. Adrien is kind, loyal, sensitive and well-liked, and hangs out often with his best friend Nino Lahiffe.

Using the Cat Miraculous, Adrien can transform into Cat Noir, Ladybug's main sidekick. As Cat Noir, he is more rebellious, care-free, and flirty. His transformation call is "Plagg, Claws Out!". His weapon is a multi-functional staff and his special power, "Cataclysm", allows him to destroy anything he touches. As both Cat Noir and Adrien, he has a deep romantic attraction for Ladybug, unaware that she is Marinette. He temporarily has a relationship with Kagami Tsurugi, but they break up.

Adrien has temporarily used the Ladybug Miraculous twice to become "Mister Bug" and the Snake Miraculous to become "Aspik". Like Ladybug, he can unify Miraculouses together, once using the Snake Miraculous to become "Snake Noir". In one episode, he becomes a second cat hero called "Cat Walker". He later returns to original hero persona. He also has unified the Rabbit Miraculous with his own to become Rabbit Noir.

He has been turned into a villain in two erased timelines: as Cat Noir, he has become an uber-powerful version called "Cat Blanc", and in his civilian form, he became "Ephemeral", who has the ability to speed up time. Ephemeral means to "last a short time", which ties into the ability.
