Player: Lizzie | Doodlebuginette Character: Adrien Agreste Canon: (not sure about canon point just yet~) I'll likely pull him from roughly post-season 1/Christmas special-era, though. Age: 14 Bio Blurb: (optional: Wiki.)
The Agrestes were happy, once upon a time. Adrien was content with his sheltered life because it was all he'd ever known. Modeling his father's designs and working hard at whatever new lessons Gabriel decided would be beneficial made him happy, because it made his parents happy. Things changed after his mother went missing. More specifically, his father changed. Rules became stricter, expectations became higher, responsibilities became heavier.
Starting public school was a challenge for a couple of reasons. He'd never really been around a lot of kids his own age so he wasn't quite sure how to talk to them. Meeting Plagg and becoming Chat Noir opened up a whole new world for him, as it gave him the opportunity to behave the way he wanted to rather than the way his father expected him to. Meeting Ladybug gave him a mission, and a purpose, beyond just playing the obedient little puppet of Gabriel Agreste.
Personality Blurb: At first glance, Adrien is a charming, happy boy who likes to have fun and be with his friends. Dig a little deeper, and the truth is somewhat less rosy. Having spent the majority of his life with his parents and a single friend (an admittedly bratty girl) for company, Adrien is very naive about the world at large, as well as how to really relate to his peers. He's very good at telling people what he thinks they want to hear, particularly his father and Nathalie.
In short, Adrien is a somewhat lonely, serious boy who just wants to live a normal life with normal friends. He's eager to meet people and befriend them, though not quite sure how to go about it. Relating to his classmates in particular is always an adventure because it seems like every day he's learning something new about one or more of them, or about the world in general. He can, admittedly, be kind of a pushover when it comes to his friends, often going along with something he knows he's not actually allowed to do in favor of keeping people happy.
Adrien isn't terribly open with his emotions, particularly with people he doesn't know well. He finds it easier to downplay them or just avoid talking about them altogether, which can sometimes lead to him acting impulsively if his emotions are running high. His relationship with Gabriel, in particular, is a bit of a sore spot for him. He loves his father, and he's pretty sure that Gabriel also loves him. It's just difficult to remember that sometimes, when the man seems more interested in micromanaging his life than actually spending time with him.
Perhaps as a result of his own father's absence, Adrien tries to be openly encouraging and friendly to others. He's also incredibly loyal to the friends he does have. The people he cares about are important to him and he feels protective of them. Ladybug is an extreme example in that he feels driven to fight for her (and with her) even without the mask. He has a bit of a rebellious streak, though the extent of this has really only been sneaking out a handful of times or taking things that didn't belong to him.
Preferred Essence(s):Rapunzel would be a good fit, honestly, because it's pretty much his life. Looking For: I'm pretty open to other ideas as well, as I know there were a couple other ones mentioned for Adrien (but I can't remember what they are at the moment, so~)
Abilities: Adrien is an accomplished fencer and pianist, fluent in a handful of languages (English, Chinese, French), a gifted model and a very convincing actor when he needs to be. With the help of Plagg (and the Black Cat Miraculous), he's also able to transform into Chat Noir, a black cat themed superhero.
If I go with Rapunzel: I was thinking that some type of enchanting voice ability might be neat, as well as maybe the ability to heal (a la the magic hair/song combo) but I'm not entirely sure how that would work out.
Quirks: I'm kind of drawing a blank as far as quirks go. For Rapunzel, I kind of enjoy the idea of him having longer hair, but aside from that...?
Goal: At the moment, my main goal is for him to broaden his horizons a little. Make some friends. Grow up a little. Extra: Please enjoy my nerdy boy being a nerd. Questions: Am I really doing this~? (Yes. The answer is yes.)
