** {{Downplayed}} with Adrien; his experiences with Scarlet Lady make him much more critical of Chloe's faults, to the point that he calls her out in "Origins Part 2" and declares that if she's going to act like a bully, they won't be friends anymore. In other words, her behavior as Scarlet Lady has made him far less tolerant of her antics as Chloe, though he isn't aware that they're one and the same.
** PlayedForLaughs in "Lady [=WiFi=]": when Nino tells Adrien that Alya suspects Marinette is Scarlet Lady, Adrien looks utterly ''horrified'' by the notion, and Plagg teases him about it later.

* FailedASpotCheck: When Marinette immediately recognizes that Lady [=WiFi=] is an akumatized Alya, Nino wonders how she can possibly tell. Marinette stares at him in disbelief before [[DeadpanSnarker deadpanning]] that it's because of her phone charm.



* IRejectYourReality: Despite stealing the Earrings from Marinette's purse -- and Tikki brightly greeting 'Marinette' when she first manifests before realizing that something's wrong -- Chloe has convinced herself that ''she'' was TheChosenOne right from the start. When Tikki attempts to remind her of this in "Lady [=WiFi=]", Chloe outright ignores her.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Chat Noir would just like some ''simple acknowledgement'' for his help in stopping the akumas, thank you very much.
* EntitledBastard: Chloe believes that she's entitled to Paris' love and affection, despite not really doing anything to earn it.
* EvilIsPetty: How the AU begins; Chloe decides to steal from Marinette as payback for talking back to her, and ends up with the Ladybug Miraculous as a result.
* FlippingTheBird: Marinette does this towards Hawk Moth's projection during her speech.
* ForWantOfANail: What if Master Fu put the Miraculous in Marinette's purse instead of her room?
* GoingForTheBigScoop: Alya's motivation as in canon. The reason Marinette gets involved in the first akuma battle is so she can get Alya out of there, because she believes Alya is ''freaking insane''.
* HandWave: An animation error from the original version of "The Bubbler" that left Max without his glasses is given one; apparently, his mother was cleaning them for him when she got caught in one of the Bubbler's bubbles.
* HeroWithAnFInGood: Chloe only does heroic things when it will benefit her and when Tikki forces her to.
* HeyThatsMyLine: Chloe's response to Tikki asking who the heck she is during their first meeting.
* HiddenDepths: The Gorilla is surprisingly good with kids, as evidenced with Manon.
* IgnorantOfTheCall: It's fairly clear to ''everyone'' that Marinette is a better superhero than Scarlet Lady, but she just sees it as helping with akuma attacks when Scarlet Lady won't.
* InSpiteOfANail:
** Marinette still falls for Adrien and vice-versa, even without her being Ladybug.
** Marinette still makes her speech to Hawk Moth when he tries to pin the blame for his actions on the heroes, though Chat suspects that part of it is her venting about someone else.
** The umbrella scene between Marinette and Adrien still happens.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: Chloe claims to Marinette that her gift of cookies and coffee will ruin Adrien's diet and that he won't take them from her. Adrien promptly takes the coffee from her, then gets down on one knee like he's going to propose to her.
* IronicNurseryTune: Stormy Weather creepily sings the old "It's raining, it's pouring" rhyme when [[spoiler:she goes to attack Alec in the studio]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: Chloe as a superhero, in ''spades''. She’s more concerned about looking good than she is about taking care of the akuma problem, and then takes all the credit for stopping the akumas when Chat (and Marinette) is the one who does all the work.
* LimitedWardrobe: Averted; the characters get a change in clothes whenever the author feels they should.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Adrien/Chat refuses to call Scarlet Lady anything but Scar (for the scars she leaves on his life), much to her ire.
* MissedTheCall: Master Fu intended for Marinette to get the Ladybug Miraculous. Instead, Chloe found it.
* MundaneUtility: Chloe uses a towel Lucky Charm to dry her hair.
* NoSell: Chloe's attempts to throw her weight don't work on the photographer at Adrien's photoshoot, who instead sasses her taste in clothes.
* NotMyFault: PlayedForLaughs.
--> '''Master Fu:''' ...this one is not my fault, Wayzz.\\
'''Wayzz:''' Master, would it not have been wiser to put it in her room or-\\
'''Master Fu:''' NOT MY FAULT!!
* OhCrap: Master Fu and Wayzz when they realize Marinette didn't get the Ladybug Miraculous.
* RealityEnsues:
** The lack of Aurore balloons being sold at the park confuses Stormy Weather because the contest just ended and there should still be balloons promoting both girls. [[spoiler:When the balloon seller reveals he was told to only make Mireille balloons, Stormy comes to the (correct) conclusion that the contest was rigged from the start. Later, Mireille reveals this on her Twitter, which results in serious backlash against Alec and the studio as a whole.]]
** In order to make sure he didn't lose the window of opportunity to akumatize Nino, Gabriel had to run to his secret lair. As a result, he's out of breath while giving Nino the usual speech, something that Nino picks up on.
* ShipperOnDeck: The Gorilla offers Marinette as a female partner for Adrien's photo shoot.
** The Bubbler, when he sees that Marinette and Adrien are together, immediately agrees to play a slow song.
* ShoutOut:
** When heading to record the first akuma attack, Alya wonders how ComicBook/LoisLane can do this and still look perfect.
** The writer makes a joke about [[Website/{{Reddit}} "r/weathergirlthings"]] in regards to Stormy Weather.
** Marinette's reaction to the robot eye camera that the Agrestes use is to assume that [[Film/2001ASpaceOdyssey HAL 9000]] works for them.
* SkewedPriorities: Chloe when it comes to akuma attacks. The Bubbler just captured all the adults in Paris and is forcing her to attend a party on threat of joining them? Perfect time to cozy up to Adrien! The same akuma enables a slow dance between Adrien and Marinette? ''He's going down.''
* SymbolSwearing: Used when Adrien tells Nathalie to tell Gabriel [[PrecisionFStrike "Fuck you!"]] when she tries to keep him from leaving.
* TemptingFate:
** Chat Noir's first line in the comic is a declaration of how awesome being a superhero is going to be, not knowing what his partner will be like.
** When Chloe announces that she'll fight Stormy Weather without too much prodding from Tikki, the kwami realizes that even Chloe can be selfless...then Chloe announces ''why'' she's fighting Stormy Weather (for ruining a "date" with Adrien), which causes Tikki to rescind this statement.
* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Even without a Miraculous, Marinette keeps getting swept up in akuma attacks.
* TooDumbToLive: Manon, ''maybe'' you shouldn’t have told the supervillain that hates Mireille's guts that you voted for Mireille?
* TwoPersonLoveTriangle: Marinette has feelings for both Adrien and Chat Noir, not realizing they're one and the same; Adrien feels the same about Marinette.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: "Villain" is a stretch, but this is how Marinette and Adrien see Scarlet Lady.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Marinette would like to point out to the Bubbler that, while she agrees with his motives, she doesn't support his methods.
* WinWinEnding: [[spoiler:How the contest ends; ultimately, Aurore and Mireille become co-weather girls.]]
