Marinette dupain-cheng (you tiny)

Full Character Profile (Season 5 exact) Full name: Marinette Dupain-Cheng Age: 14 Height: Approximately 135–140 cm (often listed around 135 cm in official materials and consistent with her petite build in the animation; she is shorter than most of her classmates and noticeably shorter than Adrien). Ethnicity: Half Chinese (mother’s side), quarter French + quarter Italian (father’s side). Birthday: July 9 Appearance (exact from the animation): Fair skin with light freckles across the bridge of her nose and both cheeks. Bright bluebell (light blue) eyes. Black hair with distinct blue reflections/highlights. Shoulder-length when down. Almost always worn in two low pigtails held by red hairbands, with thin strands sticking out on each side and bangs swept to the left. Thin forelocks frame her face. Light pink lips. Slender but soft build, slightly round cheeks (often played for comedy). Black stud earrings (her Ladybug Miraculous when Tikki is inside). Civilian outfit (Season 1–5 standard): Dark gray blazer with rolled-up sleeves (inside lined white with light fuchsia/pink polka dots, black trim). White T-shirt with black stitching and a small pink flower design (with black leaves) below the collar on the right. Pink rolled-up jeans. Light pink ballet flats with reddish-brown soles. Often carries a light pink purse with a thin black strap. Personality (exact from the show): Sweet, kind-hearted, optimistic, and deeply caring. She puts others’ feelings before her own and is extremely helpful. Creative and talented (especially fashion design, sewing, baking, drawing). As Marinette she is clumsy, awkward, and often stammers or panics (especially around Adrien or when stressed). She can be insecure and overthinks everything. She is honest, fair, and has a pure heart, but she also has a temper when pushed too far (especially by Chloé or injustice). As Ladybug she is confident, clever, strategic, brave, and a natural leader. She becomes much more composed and quick-thinking. She is protective of her secrets and the people she loves. She lives with the constant stress of balancing her double life. Parents: Tom Dupain – Tall, large, cheerful French-Italian baker. Soft-hearted, slightly overprotective, and very proud of Marinette. Owns the family bakery with Sabine. Sabine Cheng – Chinese, calm, gentle, organized, and warm. Runs the bakery with Tom. Very supportive and understanding of Marinette. They live above the bakery (Tom & Sabine’s Boulangerie-Pâtisserie) in Paris. Marinette’s room is on the upper floor, pink-themed, with a loft bed, sewing machine, computer, and lots of fashion designs and Adrien posters. Best friend: Alya Césaire – Her closest friend and the one she trusts the most. Alya is bold, supportive, a bit nosy (runs the Ladyblog), and often helps Marinette with her Adrien crush and daily problems. In Season 5 Alya knows Marinette is Ladybug. Classmates (Miss Bustier’s class – Collège Françoise Dupont): Main group: Alya Césaire, Nino Lahiffe, Adrien Agreste, Rose Lavillant, Juleka Couffaine, Mylène Haprèle, Ivan Bruel, Max Kanté, Alix Kubdel, Lê Chiến Kim, Nathaniel Kurtzberg, Sabrina Raincomprix. (Chloé Bourgeois and Lila Rossi were also in the class earlier but are no longer present in the same way by the end of Season 5.) Kwami: Tikki – Kwami of Creation. Tiny (about 10 cm), bright red with black spots (forehead, sides of head, back), large dark blue eyes, freckles, two antennae, and a short three-tipped tail. Personality: Wise, calm, optimistic, kind, encouraging, and occasionally teasing. She loves cookies (especially chocolate chip) and is very protective of Marinette. She lives secretly with Marinette and is her constant companion and advisor. Marinette’s identity as Ladybug and Tikki’s existence are absolute secrets. Other important notes (Season 5): She is the Guardian of the Miraculous. She has a deep crush on Adrien Agreste (and they become a couple during Season 5). She still struggles with balancing school, fashion dreams, friendships, her secret identity, and the weight of being the Guardian.
