History Fanfic / TheMisadventuresOfGattinera

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In the show Lila only appears in the season 1 finale (before becoming a more regular member of the cast in season three and onward), while here she's around from the start, though she doesn't interact with the class in her civilian identity. [[spoiler:A Bunnyx may have appeared as early as the first chapter]].

* CombatPragmatist: Gattinera ''will'' shamelessly take advantage of whatever weakness the enemy has, especially if they can't cover for it. Case in point, Lady Wifi [[spoiler:gets the nearest repeater Cataclysmed]] before she even ''see'' Gattinera.
* ConsummateLiar: Lila, of course. This is actually part of how she received the Miraculous, when Fu was giving her the test she spontaneously claimed to volunteer at elderly's homes.
** CompulsiveLiar: At times Lila has troubles ''not'' lying to make herself seem more interesting, much to her chagrin.

* ForWantOfANail: Namely, Lila meeting Master Fu and passing his test before he can test Adrien.

* OutOfFocus: Marinette and most other characters due the story being told by Lila's point of view.
* PaedoHunt: Gattinera's initial relationship with Theo Barbot, and Copycat by extension. To Theo's credit, the glamour generated by the Miraculous kept him from realizing he was crushing on a teenager, and when he found out he was appalled at himself.
* ParentalNeglect: Mrs. Rossi is rarely home due her job, and never gives Lila any attention.

* TransparentCloset: ''Many'' in Paris have noticed or suspect Gattinera is gay (though for the wrong reasons), but Lila herself is in denial due many of her relatives being opposed.

-->"Why wait a whole year to show your love for someone on a specific day when you could show your love everyday?"

* WhenYouComingHomeDad: As said above, Mrs. Rossi is rarely home. The one time she actually has time to have lunch with her daughter she turns it into a job lunch at the last moment, and ends up not spending a single minute with Lila due the Bubbler's attack consuming the entire lunch break.

* {{Curse}}: Turns out Juleka was actually cursed to never get a picture right. The curse was lifted when Plagg took it... And gave it to Gattinera (and only Gattinera, Lila's picture can still be taken). Doesn't work with statues, as long as the {{sculptor|s}} can see Gattinera in person.

''The Mis-adventures of Gattinera'' is a ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' RoleSwapAU, with the divergence point being Lila arriving in Paris much earlier... And receiving the Black Cat Miraculous in Adrien's place, thus becoming the heroine Gattinera. Can be read [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/26584168/chapters/64813882 here]].

* DiedDuringProduction: In late November 2022 a comment was posted on Chapter 12 by someone who knew the author on Discord, saying someone claiming to be the author's sister had informed them of the author's death. As no further details were shared at the time, the commenter did not know if the claim was true but the chat group was assuming the worst for the time being.
