About them: An aspiring fashion designer and the daughter of two passionate bakers, at her core Marinette is kind, cheerful, generous and outgoing, willing to lend a hand and stick up for those in need. Though at times she may be clumsy, tend to get anxious over "worst-case scenarios", or be prone to making rash, emotion-fuelled decisions of questionable morality, she truly does have the best of intentions behind her actions.
AU info: The single daughter of Tom Dupain and Sabine Cheng, Marinette had a relatively normal life growing up. She lived a modest lifestyle, her parents doing their best to support her while also balancing their responsibilities of owning and operating a bakery. She grew up as many typical girls did, learning from her parents and attending school like normal.
As an aspiring fashion designer, Marinette entered into many fashion-related contests, hoping to both test her own creativity and to try and get noticed by anyone who might be interested in her designs. When her school offered a contest wherein competitors were to design bowler hats that would be judged by fashion mogul Gabriel Agreste, she entered and ended up winning the competition (and managed to thwart one Chloe Bourgeois, the class diva who tried to copy her design and take credit for it). Little did she know that winning that competition would result in Mr. Agreste being interested in her designs and willing to offer her a study-abroad program in Tokyo, where she would help and learn from the promoters showcasing the new Gabriel fashion line.
This is her first serious time away from her parents, but she is excited for the opportunity to learn from the pros and take her first real steps into the fashion industry.
Persona and arcana: Her initial persona is Minerva, of the Lovers Arcana. Whether in superhero guise or not, Marinette breaks her card by reaching up and breaking it with her hand.
Superhero theme: Though being a superhero is thrilling and an important job, Marinette also understands the importance of keeping one's identity a secret. Wanting something completely different from her usual attire, Marinette dons a red and black polka-dotted disguise and the self-given name of 'Ladybug'.
Superpower: Restoration, to a degree. Marinette is able to channel Minerva's power and use it to repair damaged buildings and objects. What she can repair depends on how much power she channels; greater restorations require more power, and she needs to rest in between big projects. Her power is limited to damage that has specifically been caused by shadows or personas.
CR goals: I'm honestly good for any interactions here! Marinette is easy to get along with and once she becomes a part of the team proper will do her best to get to the bottom of the shadow problem. I'm also up for negative CR if you would wish; Marinette can be a bit stubborn and rash at times, leading to some bad results that bite her in the behind later on down the road. Just let me know what you think and we can work something out!
Other Info We Should Know: Due to my work schedule I tend to work evenings (save for Sundays, Tuesdays, and Saturday evenings) so sadly don't expect tags from me during the late afternoon/early evening. However I am all up for tagging in the evening after work or in the morning/afternoon before work! I also will tag forever so don't worry about backtags, I am all cool for them!
