Marinette Dupain-Cheng is ''done''. Done with dealing with lying liars who lie like Lila Rossi, and those to flock towards her lapping up every last lie. Done with {{Intrepid Reporter}}s who won't verify their sources, but expect '''her''' to do the legwork for them. Done with {{Fair Weather Friend}}s who turn on her at a moment's notice. Done with Collège Françoise Dupont.
Like [[FandomSpecificPlot/MiraculousLadybug many other writers]], [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/caterinawrites/pseuds/caterinawrites caterinawrites]] was inspired by the events of ''[[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS03E01Chameleon Chameleon]]'' to address their concerns. Thus, ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16877475 Marinette Dupain-Cheng's Spite Playlist]]'' follows our heroine as she changes schools and makes for a fresh start. Each chapter is named for a [[MusicalThemeNaming different song]] that would fit nicely into such a playlist.

!This ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' FanFic contains examples of:
* BetrayalFic: While some of those who turned upon her eventually get some LaserGuidedKarma for their actions, the primary focus here is on Marinette coping with their betrayal and moving forward.
* TheBully: Gabrielle and her boyfriend Thomas, who find that Marinette isn't about to let their bad behavior go unchallenged.
* FallenOnHardTimesJob: [[spoiler:Gabrielle]] has one... or at least, feels this way about working at a little café, given how [[spoiler:her family has paraded around their status for generations]].
* HeelRealization: Adrien realizes that his advice about leaving Lila be was ill-considered after Marinette transfers. This is followed by a stronger reality check when Marinette explains how she threatened her in the bathroom and almost got her akumatized.
* ImpoverishedPatrician: As it turns out, [[spoiler:Gabrielle's formerly well-to-do family has gone bankrupt, much to her shame and frustration]].
* ManipulativeBitch: Lila, towards ''everyone'' -- but particularly focusing upon Alya, exploiting her hurt and frustration to wind her ever tighter around her little finger.
* MusicalThemeNaming: Each chapter's name references a different song.
* RevengeByProxy: Lila convinces Alya that Ladybug [[spoiler:choosing another Fox Hero]] is her way of getting revenge on Lila after their friendship fell apart. [[DramaticIrony In reality]], it's more like Lila is using ''Alya'' as a way to hurt ''Marinette'' further after the other girl got out of her reach.
* SmugSnake: Lila's quite pleased with herself upon learning that Marinette transferred out.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Lila's relationship with Alya in particular, due to her taking advantage of her hurt over Marinette leaving to manipulate her ever further, to the point that she [[spoiler:deletes the Ladyblog]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Marinette and Alya, sadly. Lila also claims that her (nonexistent) friendship with Ladybug has deteriorated as part of her scheming for sympathy.
