Creator notes

Gabriel Agreste is the tritagonist of Miraculous World: Paris - Tales of Shadybug and Claw Noir. He is the heroic counterpart of Gabriel Agreste from the Re-Verse. When Nooroo inhabits the Butterfly Miraculous, he transforms into Betterfly (Hesperia in the French dub), a butterfly-themed superhero with the power of Transmission. He is also the leader of the Resistance.

Description

815 tokens

He wears a light blue vest with white buttons over a cream-colored dress shirt, a light blue violet ascot tie with a pattern of tiny lilac triangles, light khaki dress pants, cream-colored dress shoes with brown laces, and light gray round glasses. He also has a silver wedding ring on his left ring finger. He has dark blue eyes and grey parted hair.

Much like his counterpart, Gabriel used to be willing to go to great lengths to get what he wanted. In order to make his dream a reality, he joined the Supreme and stole two Miraculous: the Butterfly and the Peacock. However, because of his misuse of their powers, he lost his wife. This event had a great impact on Gabriel who decided to use the power of the Butterfly for good, creating superheroes to fight the Supreme and bring hope to his world.

However, unlike his counterpart, Gabriel was able to move on from his wife's death and never considered in finding a way to bring her back. Not just that, but he is able to learn from his mistakes.

As Betterfly, unlike Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth/Monarch, he embodies all the ideals of hope and freedom he stands for to the heart. It is his belief that powers must be shared to the world and used for the greater good, a lesson that he learned in the hard way. Remaining true to the purpose of his Miraculous, he only uses his powers to kamikotize someone that willingly wants to help him, instead of preying on those with negative emotions or on innocent civilians. Even with his allies, unless it's a life or death situation, he asks them for permission before releasing his kamiko. An example is when he saves Marinette, as he doesn't try to kamikotize her to help him fight Shadybug and Claw Noir, despite the clear disadvantage he has.

This is also evident in his fighting style, which also contrasts with that of his counterpart's. Unlike Hawk Moth/Monarch, who prefers to remain in his lair and let his akumatized villains fight for him, only fighting his enemies directly when necessary, Betterfly is more opened as he is willing to fight his battles than just watch from a distance or manipulate everyone to his advantage. Even those he kamikotizes are seen to possess powers that serve mostly as support, like Ubiquity's ability to transport him to an universe where he can get allies or Celesticat's ability to emanate a blinding light and flight to help them escape Shadybug and Claw Noir.

Betterfly always prioritizes the safety of the civilians and his allies, even before his own mission to defeat The Supreme and his followers, seen how he went to put Marinette in a safe place, as soon he heard from Ubiquity that Shadybug and Claw Noir were coming, instead of taking that time to prepare an ambush. Also similar to Ladybug and Cat Noir, he was also caring and considerate even to his enemies as he tried to convince Shadybug and Claw Noir that it wasn't too late for them to change likely wanting to save them from the negative effects of their jewels. Without realizing it he also felt great empathy, unlike his counterpart, as he like Ladybug and Cat Noir knew what it felt like to be hunted and lonely.

Betterfly is also very emotional and passionate about his job as a superhero. He is very dedicated to his duty to his world in such way that it actually made him have a troubled relationship with his son, who believes that his father doesn't have time for him so he can keep making clothes to help him move on from Émilie's death. But despite his estranged relationship with his son being painful to him, he knows it's the only way to keep him safe. After coming to Ladybug and Cat Noir's world and seeing how different it is from his, Betterfly became very emotional, as that only gave him more hope that his dream of turning his world into something as marvelous is still possible.
