Character
Character Name: Chloe Bourgeois
Canon: Miraculous Ladybug
Canon Point: End of season 4
Age: 15
Height: 5'1
Season: Spring
Flower: Bee Balm
Network UN: goldenqueen
About: Chloe comes across as the typical snooty rich girl bully. And she is that. But it covers a deep insecurity and a desperate need for literally any type of genuine validation that her existence is worth something, thanks her emotionally abusive mother and enabling father. Chloe isn't a good person, and certainly not nice, but she has a strong knack for superheroics that point to a strong desire to do something good.
Other: It is NOT easy to get Queen Bee = Chloe just on basic interaction. Queen Bee DOES have a glamour that makes it very hard to connect one to the other. How effective the glamour is CAN vary person to person, but generally, it takes pretty hard evidence for someone to put the pieces together on their own and feel certain about it. (For example, Adrien and Alya and Marinette have all talked to each while detransformed, but unable to see, and the other person could not recognize the voice as their friend and only the hero.) So it shouldn't be assumed your character knows Queen Bee = Chloe without confirming with me.

Canon:
Normal:
-8 years of formal ballet training.
-Unclear amount of Savate training. (Based upon the fact few new Miraculous users display strong martial arts technique and most who do are confirmed to do so as civilian, so Chloe displaying solid technique implies civilian knowledge. But between that and the ballet, girl has a hell of a kick.)
-Iron will. If Chloe has decided to do something, its truly hard to shake. One of the few to outright resist an Akumatization and stands out as being the only one to do so where self preservation wasn't a factor.
-Cool head in danger. Girl has and will continue to mouth off to supervillains who can flatten her like a pancake. She isn't unflappable, but her threshold is high.
-Exemplary situational awareness. She does need to be paying attention, and she often chooses not to, but she's actually great as tracking chaos around her.
-Surprisingly clever. There are few people who can keep up with Ladybug's frankly insane Rube Goldberg plans without handholding, let alone come up with one. Chloe is one of them.
-Great at selfies.
-Is a normal teenage girl.
Queen Bee:
-Venom. The main superpower. Venom is a sting that paralyzes a person into perfect inaction. They can't move, they can't perceive, they can't think. For them, they would be stung, and the next moment they would know is when it wears off after a few minutes.
-Transformation. She is a magical girl complete with a transformation sequence.
-Glamour. As said before, the glamour makes it difficult to figure out Queen Bee = Chloe. People can remember things about Queen Bee, like she's blonde and has blue eyes, but she could just be ANY blonde with blue eyes. Without hard evidence, there is always that sense of doubt in one's own conclusion.
-Enhanced abilities. Faster, stronger, more agile, more durable. Girl tried to stop a top speed subway and while she couldn't stop the subway, she wasn't phased at all while skidding across the tracks and braced against it. Throw her across town, she'll bounce back up.
-Supersuit. Nearly impossible to damage, always fresh with every transformation, and changes depending on one's self perception, which can lead to the outfit changing over time, or potentially changed on purpose if one focuses hard enough. She doesn't know about this changing aspect.
-Indestructible Miraculous. The Bee Miraculous can't be destroyed except by EXTREMELY potent and damaging magic. Think could fuck up reality levels.
-Indestructible weapon. Her top and its string cannot be broken, not without Shenanigans. It could potentially cut through thick solid steel poles. The string is also infinite.
-Top Travel. She can use her top and string as a grapple to get to higher places faster, and she can also use the Top to spin across the ground and travel even faster than she can run.
-Multi-tool weapon. The Top also has apps. Basically. And tools. The top can provide a tracking device, it can act as a communicator, a rebreather, access the internet, and hack files. Why? Well, we'll get to that.
-Powers ups. Using a magic potion can allow the user to power up to a more environmentally adapted form. There is a form for Water, Ice, Space, and Fire. There are also three other forms for a total of seven. What are they? WHO CAN SAY, we've known about these power ups since SEASON TWO and only seen three on screen. The fire one is word of god. Chloe cannot make these on her own, but is aware there is something and Pollen does know what they are. (She'll probably be using Wishing Stars for them.)
Pollen
-She is Chloe's kwami. She is a necessary component for transformation.
-Intangible. Unless something is magically protected, she can go through it.
-Cannot be perceived by technology unless she chooses to be. Cameras, recordings, microphones, none of them works unless she chooses to be perceived by the machine.
-Venom. She can also use Venom. She generally doesn't because she can't control the output and it could do things like, you know, cause an entire city to become paralyzed for an unknown amount of time. In seasons, this is nerfed to merely an Extremely Inconvenient Amount versus a Disastrous amount.
-Is the very embodiment of Action of her home universe and cannot be killed (thought she can be turned to stone for a while in Seasons. As a treat.)
-Miraculous communication. Pollen's connection to the Miraculous isn't tied to her life, it is what allows her to manifest to talk to humans. Even if the Miraculous is destroyed, Pollen is fine. If the Miraculous is damaged, it can mess up her perception and ability to communicate effectively with humans.
-Miraculous control. Anyone who holds the Bee Miraculous and knows Pollen's name is capable of commanding her to do anything, save a few things with safeguards. Pollen cannot reveal the identity of her user or previous users. She also cannot be compelled to use her powers on her own (headcanon that, but it seems a thing the Guardians would do considering the disasters that happen).
Limitations:
-Five(ish) minutes after power activation. Once Chloe uses Venom, a five minute timer starts before she's forcibly transformed. This timer has absolutely been inconsistent, so it can be pushed A BIT, but basically her time is Highly Limited.
-Child Safeguards. The Miraculous has safeguards in place for child users. The one use and time limit is one. This is done since the child may not be mentally or physically prepared to handle the power of the Miraculous. Breaking these safeguards are possible, but if done TOO early, it can lead to backlash with the magic.
-When is someone no longer a child? UNCLEAR. Adrien and Marinette just will themselves into it despite it killing Shady Bug and Claw Noir just some weeks earlier when they should be the same age. Chloe is old enough to potentially reach adult stage, but its like a mix of physical and mental maturity and being used to using magic probably helps. But after the safeguards...
-Limits Are Perceived. A lot of the Miraculous ability is dependent on the perception of the one using the Miraculous. Chloe's Top has multiple tools because she BELIEVES it could have those tools. The limits for a Miraculous user are only limited by what they believe they can do. So general things what users THINK a superhero should have, well, now the weapons are utility belts. Now there is a limit in that when you get beyond very general abilities that all Miraculous users are capable of having, the abilities must be within the realm of the kwami's concept. These boundaries should not be pushed too much or it can cause damage to the Miraculous and cause backlash to the user.
Action
The Bee Miraculous and Pollen's concept is Action. Venom is based on taking away one's ability to act. Now what else does Action do?
Man, I don't know, Action is a WEIRD one to define. It certainly has to be an Action! What is an Action that isn't like literally everything that is some kind of verb?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My running idea is mostly movement (and being able to perceive), so Chloe might get things like basically Haste and Slow and Stop. I've had people hit me with the idea bat when it comes to weird concept power bullshit, so we'll see what happens and what will be fun.

Character
Name: Chloe Bourgeois
Canon (+ Canon Point): Miraculous Ladybug (End of Season 4)
CRAU: N/A
Inventory:
-Bee Miraculous
-Container box for the Miraculous
-Cell phone
-Mr. Cuddly the bear
-A magic charm necklace (That she doesn't even know is magic)
-A tablet
Animal companion/Pet: Pollen, a bee kwami tied to the Miraculous
Mount: N/A
Do their canon powers need capping: Pollen can use the powers herself, but they are less catastrophic. She still can't control them, but range and time is cut down. Instead of city wide to potentially more for who knows how long, the range is around some buildings and wears off after no longer than an hour. (And definitely only done with OOC communication and won't be a frequent thing.)
Chloe using the powers in canon as is don't really need a cap.
The nerf is for what happens months down the line because Miraculous went and confirmed that the only limits to Miraculous abilities are what the holder can wrap their head around as pertaining to The Concept of their Miraculous. As well as an artificial limiter put on minors, but what defines one as a minor and one as an adult with the Miraculous is incredibly vague as Marinette and Adrien were able to overcome that designation in season five.
The Bee Miraculous is Action, with the main ability being perfect Inaction in Venom, the main known power of the Bee. So the first potential thing is she may unlock the ability to use it multiple times per transformation, but because Pollen isn't the concept of Action for Ellipsa, it doesn't take as well. People might be able to resist, or just find themselves moving slowly over fully stopped. Even if Chloe manages to break the one shot stipulation, it will tire her out to use it a lot in succession. The more she tries to control the Action of others, the more draining it is. And people have the potential to fight that control.
Also a lot of OOC communication if Chloe is fighting people because Bee Miraculous is a real fight ender in canon context.
Season: Spring.
Reasoning behind the chosen season: Bee.
Also her being the healer and buffer powerset is funny to me.
Anything else:
She's not from the movieverse, but movieverse gave her some adorable expressions.

SUITABILITY:
There are several reasons why LILITH would be interested in bringing in Archer to help. While he might not have the same flair as many of the more legendary servants, most would mistake him as a regular cowboy, a young man with pretty eyes, a friendly smile, and a loud laugh. But that’s on them, underneath the smiles and cheer, are constantly moving eyes, a person on constant alert, and someone with more than his fair share of blood on his hands. An expert on firearms, an ability to operate any vehicle, experience as an outlaw, and other abilities afforded to him due to his status as a servant, Billy is a formidable one-person army in his own right.
In a world where threats might manifest in tangible and ephemeral forms, Billy's legendary marksmanship provides a reliable and decisive means of dealing with physical and even metaphysical dangers. His ability to rapidly and accurately dispatch targets could be crucial against monstrous entities that he might encounter.
He is no stranger to violence, and living as a bandit has caused him to be craftier than most and more than okay with taking actions that others would have difficulty performing. He is the one who had attempted to kill a beaten opponent (Kadoc) because they still threatened his friends and partner. And after they had officially restrained him, Billy had also been the one to suggest killing him still. While Billy would rather resort to violence last, he is still the type to draw his gun first and get his hands dirty, rather than risk having a threat return to cause problems in the future. Generally, this isn’t done out of any real anger or hate, but more out of a form of pragmatism, for him, it’s cold logic.
He also approaches most situations similarly. Archer is the type to observe first and plan while being as flexible as possible; he prefers surprise to upfront confrontation and knowing what he’s facing first and then deciding how to act. He’ll seek precision and shock and look to end an encounter as quickly as possible, over having a long, drawn-out fight. Or find an escape route should things not go as planned.
The Wild West demanded quick wits and the ability to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. Life as a thief wanted for murder only increased the demand for that ability.
Beyond his experience as a bandit, he is also no stranger to facing off against various monsters, other servants, and the supernatural. As a servant, Archer has faced off against various enemies, from a giant, mutant mammoth, to gods, to corpses, whole armies of endless, self-replicating beings by himself, and eldritch horrors. All of which he has dispatched with relative ease. Very little rattles him anymore, and his flexibility allows him to make snap changes to his decisions when required.
In short, he is more than capable of being sent on missions to defeat monsters and would be more than willing to go. He could be expected to find ways to accomplish the mission and return alive and in one piece alongside his comrades.
Overall, life in the West was hard; life as an outlaw in the West could be even harder. Billy's life on the American frontier was a constant struggle for survival, filled with violence and betrayal. This background has likely forged a resilience and a pragmatic approach to dangerous situations. He's not easily rattled by the bizarre or the deadly and would be a valuable asset to LILITH and his team.
As for how he will cooperate and work alongside LILITH, Billy is generally the rebellious sort with a general dislike for authority figures, and doesn’t care much for master-servant relationships. That said, he also has a moral compass and a strong sense of loyalty and compassion for others (despite his generally calculating mindset and reputation). He is likely to view LILITH as a contractor or employer. One whose goals will also align with his own is helping those who can’t help themselves and saving people in need, no matter the cost. Archer is not purely self-serving, and while he might not be entirely on board with an action or policy taken, he is unlikely to turn against his employer, viewing actions and policies taken as necessary or needed to get a job done.
PERSONALITY TRAITS:
Positive:
Loyal (when earned) – While he may be wary of others, those who prove themselves earn his steadfast loyalty.
Brave: Faces danger head-on without hesitation, displaying remarkable courage even in overwhelming situations.
Good-Humored/natured: Enjoys a good laugh and can often lighten tense situations with his humor.
Adaptable: Quick to adjust to new environments and challenges, able to think on his feet and find solutions.
Negative:
Distrustful Nature: A deep-seated suspicion of others, born from repeated betrayals and the harsh realities of his life.
Cynical Idealist: Beneath a carefree exterior, a deep-seated disappointment in the world and its injustices, leading to a jaded perspective.
Disregard for Authority: A rebellious streak and a reluctance to follow rules or respect figures of power, stemming from his experiences with a corrupt and unjust system.
Vengeful – If someone wrongs him, he doesn’t easily let it go—he’ll make sure they feel the consequences.
PERSONALITY REFERENCE: Wiki personality section
POWERS & SKILLS: Wiki link
Extraordinary strength and endurance: As a servant Billy has gained buffs to both his overall strength and ability to take a hit. While his strength is not on par with many other servants, it is still greater than that of the average human. Similarly, he can take hits that would kill a normal person. He is a fragile speedster and is more of a glass canon than anything.
-Inhuman speeds- Even before he had become a servant, Billy had always been a guile speedster with an innate ability to escape danger.
-Able to fire bullets capable of harming incorporeal entities, supernatural beings, and other servants. Empowering his bullets within mana, thereby strengthening them and allowing them to bring down giants ghosts, and other supernatural, and preternatural, beings.
In game abilities: Many of Billy’s abilities are centered around his agility and ability to hit things really, really fast with his gun with unnatural accuracy.
-Mind’s Eye (Fake) C: Grants Billy a brief increase to his speed and evasive abilities, allowing him to skirt out of the direst of situations while also buffing up his critical attack power.
-Marksmanship A++: Greatly increases his critical damage output for a short time. He becomes more likely to hit his target.
-Quick Draw A+: Exactly what it says. It helps him prepare to use his Noble Phantasm much quicker.
Class Skills: As an archer Billy has access to certain class abilities.
-Independent action A: Increases his critical strength while also giving him an ability to act independently of his master.
-Riding C+: Increases his speed and mobility; is reflective of his horsemanship.
Noble Phantasm: Billy’s ultimate.
-Thunderer: The ability itself isn’t necessarily magical per say, as much as it is a buff to Billy’s own skill with a gun. His noble phantasm allows Billy to reenact the mythical high noon showdown. Billy’s speed is increased to exponential levels and allows him to draw and fire his gun so fast that he is capable of firing three bullets seemingly at once. While time will appear to also slow down for him, allowing him to accurately understand and predict his opponent’s movements, thereby letting all of Billy’s shots land where he wants with pinpoint, unavoidable accuracy.
NERFED POWERS: Most likely his speed and strength will need to be brought down to levels where he won’t be the impossible, Superman levels fast, but still far quicker on the draw than the average person ought to be. Similarly his Servant levels of strength will likely need to be brought down towards more Olympian, weight-lifter levels.
PERSONAL ITEM: Colt M1877 Revolver. There's nothing particularly special about it, it just looks cool and is the "Thunderer" version.
