* PsychologicalProjection: Lila sincerely believes that Marinette is just like her -- that her sweet, helpful facade is all a lie and her interest in Adrien stems from using him as a ladder for social climbing. In fact, she believes this of practically ''[[UpToEleven everyone]]''.

* UselessSuperpowers: When [[EntitledBastard Lila demands that Hawk Moth give her powers to try and hurt Adrien with them]], [[LaserGuidedKarma he gives her the power]] to [[TheEmpath feel the emotions of others]]. Since Lila's preexisting skills at manipulation are rendered useless with everyone knowing she is a ConsummateLiar, it does very little to enhance her natural abilities. Not only that, but since she is TheSociopath, she finds many of the more alien emotions (like genuine concern for other people) confusing and [[PowerIncontinence can easily be overwhelmed by the conflicting emotions of multiple people around her]].

Lila Rossi is a girl who doesn't have friends. She has ''assets''. People that she's got twisted round her fingers, dancing at the end of her strings... like Adrien Agreste, the poor little rich boy. So trusting. So naive. So ''easy'' to manipulate...

Lila Rossi is a girl who doesn't have friends. She has ''assets''. People that she's got twisted round her fingers, dancing at the end of her strings... like Adrien Agreste, the poor little rich boy. So trusting. So naive.naïve. So ''easy'' to manipulate...


Added DiffLines:

* BelievingTheirOwnLies: So far as Lila's concerned, people lie to themselves all the time, pretending that they're ''not'' inherently selfish creatures and that they actually care about others beyond whatever benefit they stand to gain from feigning friendship with them. She's so completely convinced of that that it makes ''her'' an example of this herself.


Added DiffLines:

* FatalFlaw: Points out Lila's biggest weaknesses:
** First and foremost, she believes that people are naturally inclined to think just like her, putting [[ItsAllAboutMe themselves and their own interests]] ahead of all else. To her mind, there's no ''point'' in caring about others beyond whatever you stand to ''gain'' from them, and 'friendships' -- and relationships in general -- are just social constructs. Nobody ''genuinely'' cares about anyone else; certainly not enough to help or defend someone without ulterior motives.
** Despite holding such a cynical outlook, Lila still sees Adrien as too naïve to understand 'how the world works'. As a result, she's completely unprepared for him to turn on her, ''despite'' him warning her about hurting his friends any further.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20180848/ All's Fair in Love and War (And Turnabout's Fair Play)]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fanfic by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/GalahadWilder/pseuds/GalahadWilder [=GalahadWilder=]]] that asks "WhatIf Adrien decided that two can play at Lila's games?" The result: a seemingly normal day at College Francoise Dupont turns out to be anything but, as Lila walks into a minefield of her own making.

!!This fanfic contains examples of:

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: Well... not to ''others'', but Lila believes that she's the only person in her social circle honest enough to admit to ''herself'' that there's no such thing as a relationship that isn't based on mutual manipulation and self-interest.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Lila '''demands''' that Hawkmoth go through with akumatizing her. As he complies, Hawkmoth's voice ''oozes'' with cheerful malice.
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' ''Remember,'' '''''Empathy''''', ''this is what'' '''''you''''' ''asked for.''
* BullyingADragon: Lila has the audacity to ''threaten'' Hawkmoth, ordering him to "Give me ''my'' power or I'll make you regret it!"
* DeathGlare: One of the first things that tips Lila off that something's wrong is Alya giving her one of these. She's not the only one giving her a dirty look, either.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Despite her firmly held belief that everybody is just out to use and manipulate everyone else to their own ends, Lila fails to consider that ''Adrien'' could ever be ruthless enough to 'betray' her.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While Hawkmoth is very much willing to use Lila's raging emotions to akumatize her, he pauses when she swears to use that power to destroy Adrien.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Lila truly doesn't understand the idea that people really ''can'' care about each other for unselfish reasons, to the point that she believes friendship doesn't exist beyond being a pretty word used to hide one's true intentions.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Adrien uses Lila's own actions to set up her downfall.
* InternalReveal: Hawkmoth learns from Lila that Adrien was at the museum [[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS03E21ThePuppeteer2 during The Puppeteer's attack]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: Lila, naturally.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: After his 'betrayal', Lila's convinced that Adrien ''always'' 'plays innocent' and merely ''pretends'' to be a 'golden boy'.
* PrecisionFStrike: Used by Lila when arguing with Hawkmoth.
* PsychologicalProjection: Lila sincerely believes that Marinette is just like her -- that her sweet, helpful facade is all a lie and her interest in Adrien stems from using him as a ladder for social climbing. In fact, she believes this of practically ''[[UpToEleven everyone]]''.
* SkewedPriorities: After discovering what Adrien did, Lila fixates on how Alya deleted her interview off the Ladyblog.
* TabloidMelodrama: Weaponized by Adrien through a 'Shocking Interview' where he accuses Lila -- without naming names -- of stalking and harassing him.
* VillainProtagonist: A natural result of the story being from Lila's POV.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Lila briefly laments the lost opportunity to enact this with Adrien, believing that if she'd known his 'true nature', they could have become a true power couple.
