Anyway, on with the show!

Hello there. My name is Tikki. I am a kwami. Being a kwami can be pretty fun, but sometimes, it can be difficult. As the Ladybug Kwami, I have to power the Ladybug Miraculous to transform the wearer (in this case, Marinette) into Ladybug.

"Tikki, spots on!" Marinette exclaimed.

I went into her earring, and released red energy into the area around me. This is what causes the transformation process. You would think that being an in earring would be uncomfortable and think it's a small space, but let me tell you, that isn't the case. It's actually quite roomy in there. A small red throne formed and I sat upon it, seeing the outside world with a lovely view. As the Ladybug Kwami, Ladybug has the power of Lucky Charm, Miraculous Ladybug, and purifying the akumas. I just wish she wouldn't waste her power on small issues. Like with Chloe and Adrien's slow dance at Adrien's 15th birthday party. She had arrived at Adrien's house and saw The Bubbler, the akumatized version of Nino, hosting a party for Adrien. There was a slow dance, Chloe was trying to kiss Adrien, and Marinette was very jealous.

"Lucky Charm!" she exclaimed.

Even though I didn't want to do it, I channeled red energy forth and activated Lucky Charm. Contrary to some belief, I don't actually have much control over the items Lucky Charm creates.

"A record?" Ladybug asked.

While Ladybug was trying to figure out how to use the disk, I was getting slightly worried about the situation at hand, and slightly grumpy.

"Marinette... I know you're jealous, but was that really necessary?" I asked.

"Better bug out quick before I change back to normal." Ladybug said. She jumped off the roof and got onto the ground. "Spots off."

I was forced out of the earring and into the real world.

"Marinette..." I started to say.

"It was an emergency." she claimed.

"Yeah, if by emergency, you mean jealously. You know what happens once you use your lucky charm." I reminded her. "You only have minutes before..."

"I turn back, I know, but I figured, The Bubbler, he's not going anywhere. We'll have time to get you some food to get your energy back up, then we'll get right back out there, I promise." she said.

Everyone does have their good and bad qualities. They say no one is perfect. I'm always there for Marinette when she needs me.

"Gee, it's hard to be creative under pressure." Marinette said, sketching away.

"Marinette, you save the world under pressure. Designing a hat should be a piece of cake!" I told her.

And she's always there for me. She went a great distance and to a great length to find me after I accidentally ended up in Chloe's hands. The car was sprayed with Princess Fragrance's perfume, so I closed my eyes, believing it might be the end.

"Tikki!" she exclaimed. "Tikki, I was so worried..."

"Marinette..." I said weakly after opening my eyes.

"You're much worse than I thought." she said. "We need to get you help."

"We don't have time. You need to transform. I'll be okay." I said, before coughing twice.

"No, Tikki. I'm not making the same mistake twice. We've gotta get you to the healer now." Marinette said, before running off with me.

As Ladybug, she works with a partner in crime fighting named Cat Noir. I've noticed that Cat Noir seems to flirt with her at times, but she brushes it off. I wished I could tell her that it was her crush, Adrien under Cat Noir's mask, but I couldn't. You see, in ancient times, it went against morals for kwamis to reveal another Miraculous holder without the holder being aware of it. Adrien's kwami was a black cat guy named Plagg. I'd known him for quite some time. We're long distance friends. I could only hope that one day, she would find out the truth for herself. Ladybug has thought of revealing her identity to Adrien, but she tries to keep her head out of the clouds and stop villains.

"A bouncy ball?" Ladybug asked after using lucky charm.

"Just try and stop me with that, little lady!" the Evillustrator said, before chuckling. Ladybug knew what to do.

"Gladly!" she said. She throw the bouncy ball and knocked out all the lights. Evillustrator couldn't draw in the dark. She lassoed his arm, jumped up, grabbed his pencil and broke it, releasing the akuma. "No more evil doing for you, little akuma." She activated her yo-yo. "Time to de-evilize!" She then caught the dark butterfly.

"Nicely done as always, Marinette." I said.

"Gotcha!" She released the butterfly and it was now white as opposed to black and purple. "Bye bye, little butterfly." The now purifyied akuma was free. The Lucky Charm object had already reappeared via magic, so she threw it into the air saying, "Miraculous Ladybug!" All the damaged was erased, and the Evillustrator turned back into Nathanael.

"What, what am I doing here?" he asked.

"Pound it!" Cat Noir and Ladybug said in unison. Cat Noir then ran off.

When Marinette thought of Chloe being class representative, I tried to encourage her to compete in the election.

"Uh, look at Chloe, acting as if she were the Mayor of Paris. Oh, which reminds me, class representative elections are tomorrow!" Marinette exclaimed.

"What's so bad about that?" I asked.

"Chloe's running again. The one person who cares the least about the students and the most about herself." she answered.

"Well, then, maybe you should run." I suggested.

"I totally would, but don't you think I have enough to do with my duties as Ladybug and all my schoolwork?" she asked.

"Yes, but, if you truly believe in something, you have to at least try and make it work. It's better to fail trying then having not tried at all."

"Maybe..." she muttered. I got on top her head.

"Don't underestimate yourself, Marinette." I said.

Later on, when Darkblade was launching an attack on City Hall, when Marinette was unsure what to do, she wanted my advice.

"Tikki, we need to talk." Marinette said to me as we went up the stairs.

"What are you gonna do?" I asked Marinette as she paced.

"Cat Noir needs Ladybug, but the students need me too." she said.

"Just your instincts." I told her.

Afterwards, she knew just what to do. Marinette never gives up, even if she can't transform. One time, after Vanisher was defeated, Antibug appeared and used Cat Noir as bait. She threatened to kill him if Ladybug didn't show up and give Antibug her Miraculous.

"I know you can hear me, Lady-brat! Wherever you are! You're going to have to choose; if you want to keep Cat Noir alive, you'll have to give me your Miraculous! And if you refuse? Take a good look at Cat Noir, cause this will be the last you ever see of him!" Antibug threatened. "I'm going to count to ten. One..."

"Can you make that 20?" Cat Noir pleaded. Antibug ignored him and continued to count.

"I need more time. You need to save Cat Noir, Marinette." I warned her.

"But I can't transform!" Marinette exclaimed.

"Marinette, you are Ladybug, with or without the costume." I reminded her.

"I think I would know if I was able to..." she said.

"I'm giving you advice. Take it. Don't make the same mistake twice." I advised her.

"I got an idea." she said, pulling out her phone. She looked for a recording on it. She played the recording which had her (as Ladybug) saying, "Cat Noir and I, we're an unstoppable team."

"Ladybug..." she said.

Antibug fell for it, so Marinette left her phone on the ground and ran off to free Cat Noir.

"Ladybug..." Cat Noir said, smiling.

She undone the rope on around ankles.

"Cat Noir, it's me, Marinette." she said. "The girl you agreed to protect from the Evillustrator?" She put the box back on his staff to keep him from falling, back flipped onto the staff and while standing on his staff, untied the ropes binding his wrists and arms. He climbed back up while she back flipped onto the porch. Talk about a clever plan and sweet moves.

"Princess..." he muttered. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." she whispered before running away.

Basically, a kwami's life is pretty sweet. I enjoy working with Marinette.

"So, where can I find her?" asked the blond haired teen.

"You'll have to do that on your own." I answered.
