Marinette's Team

The team formed by Marinette Dupain-Cheng during her trip on the Train.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Marinette Dupain-Cheng / Ladybug

A parisian teenager who also happens to be the superheroine Ladybug. An encounter with Apex Conductor sends her to the Train, kicking off the events of Akuma Numerology.

Abomination Accusation Attack: Once she transforms into Ladybug to fight The Miller Knight, the audience constantly call her a witch.
Action Girl: She's Ladybug, after all, which she shows to The Miller Knight for their fight.
Adaptational Angst Upgrade: She's currently trapped in an interdimensional therapy train where she can't leave alive until her number gets to zero.

Ascended Extra: In most Blossomverse-like stories, Marinette is mostly treated as a fictional character who, while confirmed to exist as her real self in the multiverse, is never seen. She appears in person for the first time in Crown of Thorns and gets her own story in Numerology.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: Pretty much the reason she's on the Train. Apex Conductor topples down a building and threatens civilians to prompt her to save them, making her a sitting duck for Apex Conductor's attack.
Complexity Addiction: She uses Unification, normally something she reserves for dangerous situation, to unify the Ladybug and Turtle Miraculous and... Use the latter's shield to deliver some dolls back home. Alya and Wayzz call her out on this, and as seen in a later stinger, this catches the attention of a Hawk Moth from another dimension...
Combat Pragmatism: She throws lemonade at The Miller Knight's eyes to disorient him, then uses her yo-yo to wrap him up.
Does Not Speak Common: She can only speak French, which means Tikki has to translate for her whenever she interacts with someone who doesn't understand the language.
Dressing as the Enemy: To try stay safe at the Fowl Play Car, Marinette takes one of the rooster warden uniforms to try blend in. Duusu-37 eventually catches on, though.
Fusion Dance: She uses Unification to unify the Ladybug and Turtle Miraculous, though we don't get to see the resulting superheroine.
Good Is Not Soft: She's a Nice Girl with a genuinely heroic heart, but she's not afraid of fighting dirty if the situation calls for it.
Gratuitous French: Averted, since she's actually French. She and The Cat talk to each other in French once the feline Denizen realizes Marinette feels more comfortable speaking in her native language.
Happy Place: She goes into her own to concentrate on sewing the green threads on her dolls. The only thing we know about it is that it has no axes.
Hero of Another Story: Specifically of Numerology.
Impersonating an Officer: Ends up doing this to fool the Denizens of the Fowl Play Car she's a part of the staff. This works up until she meets the torturer...
Informed Attribute: The Cat mentally notes that while Marinette can speak English, it's not perfect and feels more comfortable speaking in her native language. You wouldn't know this reading Akuma Numerology, where she speaks English just fine. This becomes Subverted when the Fowl Play Car reveals she has been speaking French all this time, but the Denizens could either understand her all along or didn't care enough to point it out.
Killer Yo-Yo: Her main weapon. She uses it to keep a building from toppling during Apex Conductor's attack, and then uses it to wrap The Miller Knight and keep him from moving.
Locked in the Dungeon: This is what happens to her after she fails to give The Milly King his favorite beer.
Mundane Utility:
- She uses her Lucky Charm to summon some beer for The Milly Milly King, hoping it'll be enough to let her go through the Car.
- She unifies the Ladybug and Turtle Miraculous to... Use the latter's shield to deliver some dolls back to her world.
Mythology Gag: Her number at the start of the story is 91, which represents the episode number of the last canonical episode before the events of the story (Optigami).
Paper-Thin Disguise: Her "disguise" while at the Fowl Play Car is basically just her wearing a warden uniform that's been modified to her size. Keep in mind the other wardens are talking roosters.
Rage Breaking Point: Finding the green thread tree she and Tikki have been looking for hours prompts her to swing her axe and harvest it with extreme prejudice.
Textile Work Is Feminine: She sewed dozens of dolls of her train-napped friends before meeting The Cat, and even sends some of them to Rena Rogue.
This Is Gonna Suck: Correctly guesses that the Giant Apple Car is going to be terrible to complete.
Your Favorite: Subverted. She uses her Lucky Charm to give The Milly King some beer in hopes he'll be satisfied enough to let her go. This being Lucky Charm, though, it only summons ordinary beer, and The Milly King is quite peculiar about his beverage tastes...

Tikki

The Kwami of Creation, and Marinette's partner.

Non-Action Guy: She doesn't fight, only doing so when she fuses with Marinette to become Ladybug.
Omniglot: Not only can she understand all languages, being a Kwami, but also translate them, which comes in handy when she needs to translate Marinette's words to The Cat.
Only Sane Man: She's the one link Marinette has both to her homeworld, and to keep her head clear in the madness that's the Infinity Train.
The Power of Creation: She's the Kwami of Creation, it's kind of a given.
Red Is Heroic: Primarily red, and a genuinely heroic figure.

Denizens

Artificial entities created by the Train to help Passengers on their trips.

In General

Always Lawful Good: Subverted. Since they're created with the purpose of helping Passengers, they should fit this trope. But in practice, they can be anywhere in the morality scale.
Hard Light: They're artificial constructs created by the Infinity Train, but are as solid as a real being.
No-Sell: Due to being The Soulless, powers that affect someone's soul, like Ghost Aura, doesn't affect them.
Older Than They Look: Most of them will generally look anywhere between a child to a young adult, if not elderly, but are way older given that the Infinity Train has been active for a very long time.
The Soulless: As Acerola's experiment proves, they don't have souls, and are thus immune to her Ghost Aura.

Jewel Sparkles

A doll who claims to be a princess, and the first Denizen that Acerola meets.

Cool Crown: A tiara, actually, but it's neat enough to get a compliment from Princess Allie of all people.
Every Proper Lady Should Curtsy: She curtsies while introducing herself.
Foil: To Princess Allie. They're both pink-haired princesses who are the first people Acerola meets on the Train; Jewel is the first Denizen she meets, while Princess Allie is the first Passenger she meets. Princess Allie's the princess of Parfum Palace, while Jewel's a Gratuitous Princess who doesn't seem to rule anything. Finally, while Jewel is a Rose-Haired Sweetie who serves as Acerola's first ally, Princess Allie's a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who serves as Acerola's Starter Villain.
Ms. Exposition: Serves as Acerola's introduction to the train, as well as several of its functions.
Nice Girl: She's cordial to everybody she meets, and carries herself with an amicable air.
Princess Classic: Asserts that she's this, as opposed to a haughty and egotistical 'princess' like Acerola assumes at first.
Pink Is Feminine: Her house, dress, and even hair are all different shades of pink, and she's a Girly Girl.
Rose-Haired Sweetie: She's got light pink hair, and she's a friendly Lalaloopsy doll who's happy to help.
Textile Work Is Feminine: She makes Acerola a brand new dress to replace her rag one.

Crumbs Sugar Cookie

The owner of the local cafe at the Lalaloopsy Land Car.

HA HA HA—No: This is more or less her reaction to Acerola's question over whether the food she serves is made of arts and crafts like the rest of The Lalaloopsy Land Car.
I Work Alone: She's both the owner and only workers at her cafe, a fact that Acerola is quick to point out.
Ms. Exposition: While Jewel explains how the Train works to Acerola, Crumbs is the one to explain its equivalent of ghosts, Soul Denizens, and how they work.
Rose-Haired Sweetie: Her hair's a darker shade than Jewel's, but she's every bit as nice as her.
Sweet Baker: She's a nice girl who owns a cafe in the Lalaloopsy Land Car.
You Remind Me of X: Her being the main worker and owner of her own cafe, alongside being a Sweet Baker, reminds Acerola of Mallow.

Peanut Big Top

Leader of the Passage Fair.

The Chooser of the One: She's the one who ends up picking the winner of the Passage Fair.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Peanut is a bit hesitant to make the current Passage Fair a one versus one deal, but relents after Jewel asks her. What does she get from this? Princess Allie getting so angry that she attacks everyone.
You Remind Me of X: Not a character, but an occupation: Peanut being the head of the Passage Fair, which has Passengers compete to get a chance to go to the next Car, reminds Acerola of the Trial Captains back in Alola.

The Cat

A feline Denizen who works many jobs, but is primarily an entrepeneur.

Adaptational Angst Upgrade: She has to contend with the fact that Simon has been dead for a while, while it's ambiguous if she found out in canon and only learned about it later in the Blossomverse.
Adaptational Nice Guy: Both canon and Blossomverse portrayals of her paint her as sneaky, with the latter making her come across as rather selfish. This one, learning from what happened with Simon, is a lot more helpful and willing to give advice to people.
Adaptation Species Change: Played With. A few of the Denizens here used to be another type of species in their original show, but that identity is how they're seen regardless: the Lalaloopsies, for example, are identified as dolls despite being Denizens, for example.
Information Broker: Serves this role to several people in the story so far.
Ms. Exposition: She explains a lot of things to Marinette, from how unusual her number is, to how the Train actually works.
My Greatest Second Chance: Not wanting to repeat her mistakes with Simon, The Cat wastes no time explaining to Marinette how the Train works, from how numbers are supposed to go down to how getting them to zero is the ley to leaving.
Omniglot: She can speak both English and French, the latter coming in hand when she meets Marinette.
Original Character: Denizens who aren't from the original Infinity Train canon or characters from another source of media are more than likely these.
Oh, Crap!: Seeing The Conductor does that to her.
Self-Deprecation: The first to call herself a craven coward, though she doesn't outright state it to Marinette.

The Milly Milly King

The king of the Milly Milly Kingdom, and by proxy the Milly Milly Car. He's very peculiar about his beer.

Disproportionate Retribution: Don't give him his favorite beer when he asks you to present tributes? Hope you have a good stay at the dungeons!
Does Not Like Spam: In this case, beverage; anything that isn't his favorite beer will get the deliverer sent to the dungeons.
Jerkass: Even without considering the fact he sent a teenage girl to the dungeons because she didn't give him the beer he wanted, he's not a very pleasant individual.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Not by much, since he did imprison Marinette over an honest mistake, but once she proves herself and defeats The Miller Knight, he honors his word and lets her leave his Car.
Would Hit a Girl: Well, not hit, but he certainly doesn't show any reservations about imprisoning Marinette in the dungeons following her delivering a beverage that isn't his favorite beer.

The Miller Knight

The Miller Knight / Steve the Deranged

A knightly Denizen from the Milly Milly Car that Marinette faces off against.

Batman Parody: Specifically of All-Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder and its take on Batman, AKA 'Crazy Steve'.
The Champion: Became this to The Milly Milly Car after the last champion was taken out by Grace of The Apex.
Dark and Troubled Past: His parents were killed in front of him, and he then was Reduced to Ratburgers by his own volition while training as hard as he could to become a knight.
Eye Scream: Marinette throws lemonade at his eyes to thrown him off-guard.
Everybody Calls Him "Barkeep": With a few exceptions, he's only ever called The Miller Knight.
Harmful to Minors: His parents were killed in front of him when he was just a child, and it didn't get any better from there.
Insistent Terminology: He calls Marinette by her full name, followed by her age, constantly.
Red Baron: He has two: The Miller Knight, which is his current persona, and Steve the Deranged, which is what he was known as prior.
Reduced to Ratburgers: After his parents were killed in front of him, he trained as hard as he could to become a knight, eating "Ale Rats" for sustenance.

Hornwood

A lumberjack that Marinette meets at The Mystic Thread Forest Car.

Nice Guy: A friendly individual, which is just what Marinette needed after The Milly Milly Car.
Older Than They Look: He's already pretty old physically, but he claims to have met "The Hero", who was on the Train centuries ago.
Stealth Hi/Bye: As soon as Marinette turns around, he disappears.

Con

The king of Azada, and Lexi's father.

Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Played With. In this verse, he has to deal with the fact that his son's apparently dead, which is what he originally believed in the original Blossoming Trail. However, he doesn't fully buy this story, and decides to look for answers himself.
Adaptation Name Change: Most Blossomverse stories have his name as Titus. In here, he's called Con instead.
Composite Character: Still is the King of Azada like in all Blossomverse stories, but his name is from the denizen "Con" (a faded movie script) that was seen in Voyage of Wisteria.
Family Theme Naming: His son's named Lexi, and he's named Con. Lexicon.
The Good King: A nice and amicable monarch of Azada, he's even nice to The Cat!
Outliving One's Offspring: His son, Lexi, died prior to his introduction.

Cal

A servant of the king of Azada.

Bearer of Bad News: It's up to him to inform the king of Azada that his son is dead.
Canon Foreigner: Has no Blossomverse counterpart.

Lexi

The son of the king of Azada, and a vehement Apex hater.

Death by Adaptation: Lexi survives at least Blossoming Trail just fine, but he dies here at the hands of the Apex. Supposedly.
Killed Offscreen: His fate, allegedly courtesy of the Apex. Though supposedly he put up a hell of a fight.
Mysterious Past: He's a Soul Denizen, meaning he used to be a Passenger, but his history as a Passenger is completely unknown.
Past-Life Memories: It's implied he might've unlocked some memories of his past life before his demise.
Posthumous Character: He's already dead by the time we first hear about him. Supposedly.
Uncertain Doom: While Cal makes it clear Lexi's dead, Con isn't quite so sure about it, and decides to ask The Conductor about it. And when that doesn't work, he teams up with The Cat to get answers himself.
Was Once a Man: Lexi was once a passenger who became reincarnated as the son of King Con.

The Doll (spoilers)

The Doll

A doll-like Denizen from The Green Light Red Light Car who's responsible for killing The Apex.

Beware the Silly Ones: It's a giant creepy dolls who plays green light red light casually. She also guns down all but one of The Apex.
Creepy Doll: A murderous doll.
Hidden Agenda Villain: Strangely claims that she will be able to 'make something useful' out of the corpses of the Apex members.
Knight of Cerebus: As soon as she enters the story, things get dark fast.
One-Hit Kill: Her gunshots are positioned in just the right way to hit whatever they shoot at to die instantly. Just ask The Apex.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Fittingly, her eyes turn red when she says "red light!"
Serial Killer: She racks up quite the body count with the Apex once they are struck with Crowd Panic.
Walking Spoiler: It's impossible to talk about her without spoiling how she's responsible for the death of The Apex.
Would Hurt a Child: Once she guns down Simon and Grace, her remaining victims are the many children of The Apex.

The Homunculus (spoilers)

Hazel

An artificial denizen created by Amelia who The Apex free in The Homunculus Car.

Adaptational Early Appearance: Appears in the equivalent of Book 1, when it takes at least two more books before she appears in canon.
Adaptation Origin Connection: Hazel and The Apex have no connection prior to Grace and Simon trying to get her to join them. In here, not only did they encounter her much earlier, but one of their members, Lucy, releases her accidentally.
Adaptation Species Change: She's an Artificial Human in canon, while in here she's a Homunculus... Which is basically the Denizen equivalent.
People Jars: Is found in one of these.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Granted, it's probably more out of fear than annoyance, but she still runs away from The Homunculus Car once the alarms blare.
Walking Spoiler: The fact she's even in this story is quite a shocker.

Volcanion

A Denizen replica of the Pokémon of the same name, who serves as a guardian to the illusionary Azoth Kingdom.

Adaptational Nonsapience / Adaptational Wimp: The original Volcanion showed the ability to talk to people using telepathy, and was rather eloquent in his speech. This Volcanion shows neither ability.
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: It towers over most people, and it's as dangerous as the real thing.
Acrofatic: Not that they're fat or anything, but they're a replica of a big, bulky Pokémon, who's surprisingly fast regardless.
Cessation of Existence: Once the Usurped Kingdom Car's crown gets destroyed, Volcanion is the first to disappear right before the Car itself begins to dissipate.
Doppelgänger Gets Same Sentiment: They're just a copy of the real Volcanion, but Princess Kimia is just as protective of them as the real deal.
The Guardian: Serves as this for The Usurped Kingdom Car, attacking Acerola's team as soon as they find them.
Impersonation-Exclusive Character: The Volcanion we meet is a Denizen replica, as Acerola can attest.
Oxymoronic Being: Their typing of Water/Fire is considered this by the characters, especially Princess Allie, who takes some time to complain about it while everybody's walking through the dungeons.
Making a Splash: Half Water Type, and when they fight, they end up using Hydro Pump.
Playing with Fire: At least half Fire Type.
Would Hurt a Child: See no problem in attacking Lucy, who's a kid in canon.
Would Hit a Girl: They chase after Acerola's team, which is composed of all girls, and relentlessly try to take them out of the Usurped Kingdom Car.

Rooster Wardens

Talking roosters who serve as the wardens of the Fowl Play Car.

All Crimes Are Equal: No matter how bad or severe your actual crime was, if you get sent to The Fowl Play Car, the wardens will treat you the same as everyone else: like you were the scum of the Train.
Cocky Rooster: They're talking roosters whose job is to ensure those imprisoned in the Fowl Play Car never get out.
Spikes of Villainy: They have spurs on their feet, which they use to try subjugate Marinette when she resists arrest.
Wardens Are Evil: They're the wardens of the Fowl Play Car, and they're not a very nice bunch.
Would Hit a Girl: At least some of the prisoners they keep imprisoned and tortured are female, and they have no qualms about attacking and subjugating a teenage girl when she resists arrest.

The Torturer (spoilers)

Duusu-37

A copy of Duusu who serves as the torturer of the Fowl Play Car.

Bad Powers, Good People: Has the same canonical power as normal Duusu, but unlike them, they use it as part of their torturing the prisoners kept at the Fowl Play Car.
Giggling Villain: He tends to end the first part of his sentences with a little chuckle.
The Power of Hate: A variation; he creates "Sentispecters" out of his prisoner's self-hatred.
Satiating Sandwich: Is introduced eating one.
There Is Another: His existence reveals there are copies of the Kwamis on the Infinity Train.
This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: His ability to create "Sentispecters" would be nigh useless elsewhere, but is perfect for a torturer who targets self-hating Villains.
Torture Technician: Uses sentimonsters to torment self hating villains.
Verbal Tic: Goes 'He he he!' after each of his first sentences in a conversation.

Maccadam

Maccadam / Alchemist Prime

A Cybertronian bartender who owns a bar that serves as a nexus across the Infinity Train.

The Bartender: Runs one that serves as a hub between worlds.
Inn Between the Worlds: Runs one of these.
Nice Guy: Very cordial to everybody he meets.

Lav-Lav

A Soul Denizen who took the form of a Crystal Ball.

Crystal Ball: What her Soul Denizen form is.
Got Volunteered: She volunteers to test the upgraded Zero Cannon.
Mysterious Past: Nothing is absolutely said about where she came from before she gets used as target practice for the Zero Cannon. A few details hint she may be the soul denizen of Lavender Brown but it wans't said outright.
Pink Is Feminine: She's a pink crystal ball who used to be a girl back when she was a Passenger.
Small Role, Big Impact: She appears in a very short scene in a stinger before she's taken out of the story, but she's used to show how Amelia has successfully upgraded the Zero Cannon.

Passengers

People that have been snatched by the Train in order to help them get out of their funk.

In General

But Now I Must Go: Assuming the Passenger does reach the end of their journey, a portal door will open for them to return to their world of origin.
Character Development: What their trips on the Train amounts to, and they can't leave until they achieve it.
Claimed by the Supernatural: All of them were taken by the Infinity Train in order to work on their issues and grow as people.
Missing Child: If the Passenger is a young child, and their stay on the Train takes longer than expected, they'll automatically become this.

Princess Allie

A princess from Parfum Palace in Kalos, and the first Passenger that Acerola meets.

Achey Scars: The wound on her stomach she got from Mimikins seems to work like this, given it aches after she leaves the Usurped Kingdom Car.
Action Survivor: By virtue of being a Passenger and a Pokémon Trainer, she's had to be this by default in order to survive her Train trip.
Adaptational Villainy: Princess Allie was a jerk in canon, sure, but she never went as far as to attack a festival full of innocent people.
Aesop Amnesia: Despite her encounter with Acerola and Mimikins at the Passage Fair showing her what happens when you make people angry, she goes back to her old snarling ways while at the Usurped Kingdom Car.
Alpha Bitch: Certainly acts the part, constantly boasting about how great she is and how everybody's beneath her. She's also a callous jerkass who'll talk down to anybody, even those who help her, just to hurt them
And Call Him "George": She comes this close to taking Mimikins away for herself before Acerola arrives and slaps her for her trouble.
Ankle Drag: Since she's adamant that she'd rather stay in prison than spend any quality time with Acerola, she has to be dragged in this manner when Magearna saves the group.
Ascended Extra: She was just a Character of the Day in the anime, but here she gets an enhanced role as Acerola's Shadow Archetype and Evil Counterpart.
Agonizing Stomach Wound: She gets slashed across the stomach by Mimikins, and while it doesn't hurt her at first, it begins to ache and bleed after she and Scarlet Lady leave the collapsing the Usurped Kingdom Car.
Berserk Button:
- Ash Ketchum in general gets her riled up. Acerola merely mentioning him causes her to grow visibly hostile.
- Don't take away what she believes is hers. Ash allegedly doing this got on her bad side, and Acerola snatching Mimikins from her marks the point where both princesses become hostile towards each other.
- Losing. Even losing to a washed up has been in a relatively lowkey attraction gets her so riled up she decides to destroy everything.
- Hurting Furfrou is also one. When Acerola has Mimikins knock out the canine Pokémon, Princess Allie takes that as the hint to retreat, but not before cursing out Acerola and declaring they'll meet again.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She doesn't seem that Bad when she first appears. Unbelievably arrogant for sure, but otherwise normal. Then she reveals her 5000+ number, calls out Acerola's lack of a Requisite Royal Regalia, and tries to snatch Mimikins away, and it becomes clear she's not a very nice person.
Break the Haughty: The Passage Fair does a big hit on her ego. Not only does she practically lose it to Acerola, who she sees as a false princess, but her Furfrou is defeated by Mimikins in one shot and she's forced to flee with her tail ticked between her legs.
Bullying a Dragon: Whether it's a girl with the powers of Ghost Aura, or a princess who has complete control of a Car, Allie is a bit too eager to talk back to people with more power than her for anybody's comfort.
The Bus Came Back: After being last seen in The Lalaloopsy Land Car, she returns near the end of The Usurped Kingdom Car's start, as a prisoner of Princess Kimia.
Butt-Monkey: Beaten at the Passage Fair by someone she considers beneath her, her beloved Furfrou beaten in one shot, sent to the dungeons after angering an actual princess, being dragged by the ankles and pulled by her hair while being freed, having her soul react painfully to Acerola's Ghost Aura... it's safe to say Princess Allie has pretty bad luck.
By the Hair: Acerola pulls her back like this when she starts using Alva as a scapegoat for their current situation.
Callousness Towards Emergency: She's all up for leaving Princess Kimia to die in the collapsing Usurped Kingdom Car while she and the team head for the exit, and is every bit as willing to leave Lucy to that fate too after the former Apex member goes back to rescue her. And while she does stay behind to wait for Acerola to make a decision, she wastes no time ditching her as well when she decides to stay behind and wait for Lucy.
Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: She gets rescued by Magearna free of charge, and yet the only thing she does afterwards is complain about it. She doesn't even have the decency to be polite to Magearna.
Cuteness Proximity: Suffers this when she sees Mimikins — no, really — and almost takes her away before Acerola interferes.
Death Glare: Gives one of these to Acerola after she slaps her, and then gives an even more intense one when she snaps after losing to Acerola on the Passage Fair.
Dirty Coward: She's quick to slander Acerola and have Furfrou attack the Lalaloopsy Land Car. But once Furfrou is defeated? She runs away with them, unwilling to fight any further.
Entitled Bastard: Wouldn't be Princess Allie without this trope being in place. Acerola only has to go away for five seconds before Princess Allie tries to take Mimikins away, and continues to act like she belongs to her even after Acerola gives her the facts straight.
Epic Fail: It's almost comical how bad she does in the Passage Fair; even without comparing her to Acerola, she fails to land a ring on the ring toss, makes a bunch of scribbles that doesn't resemble the doll she's painting at all, and her attempt at apple bobbing ends with her with a fish on her head.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: She's not evil, just a colossal jerk, but when Lucy argues to bring Alva with the group during their escape, Princess Allie can't wrap her head around the idea that she might do it without an ulterior motive, opting to try push her buttons so she'll spill the beans.
Exactly What I Aimed At: Subverted. During the final battle of the Usurped Kingdom Car, Princess Allie has Furfrou shoot a Thunder Wave at Acerola, Mimikins, and Magearna, only for it to miss and strike and paralyze Volcanion instead. When Scarlet Queen points out she struck one of the enemies, Princess Allie whines that she was aiming for Acerola instead.
Fiery Redhead: She has reddish-pink hair, and is quite energetic and emotional.
Hate Sink: She is a vile bitch who would rather save her skin, blame everyone else for her problems and is an utter coward. To explain how bad she is, Chloe Bougeois is considered a Nice Girl compared to her and even she can't stand her bitchiness!
Hey, You!: She doesn't seem to call people she doesn't like by their actual name: she exclusively refers to Acerola as "Peasant" and Lucy as "Apex."
"It" Is Dehumanizing: While Acerola uses female pronouns for Magearna and Lucy corrects her with the neutrals, Princess Allie outright calls them an "it", with her smirk proving this is very intentional.
Ironic Name: Allie is an old Celtic name that can mean "Harmony", "Stone" or "Noble". Only the third one fits her somewhat, being a princess and all, and that's only if we only take it as a title; her personality is anything but noble, she doesn't use stones or Rock Type Pokémon, and her hostile behavior makes it so that she disrupts any harmony she comes across.
I'm Having Soul Pains: Acerola decides to try out her Ghost Aura-empowered sword on her after confirming Magearna has a soul, and it's so potent she drops to her knees.
Improvised Weapon User: She grabs and uses one of the sliced cell bars to try break Alva's mask.
Insistent Terminology: If somebody tries to call her Allie, she'll be quick to clarify she's called Princess Allie.
Jerkass: At her absolute worst, she's a haughty and nasty piece of work who sees herself as above everybody else and will snap if this notion is challenged.
Jerkass Has a Point: Princess Allie is an asshole, this much is fact, but she's not entirely wrong when she points out that Acerola can't really be considered a princess due to how she lacks almost anything related to the title.
Lack of Empathy: Not that surprising, given she was kinda unempathetic in canon, but still: she threatens people at the Passage Fair, can't even bother to be thankful to the person who saved her at the dungeons, and when the Usurped Kingdom Car is collapsing, she's all up for abandoning Lucy to save her own skin.
The Load: Outside of some banter, she provides nothing to the team's effort to escape the dungeons. She's a little bit better during the fight against Volcanion and Azoth Queen, but even then she spends some time focusing on attacking her own allies rather than the enemy instead.
Locked in the Dungeon: This happened to her when she pissed off Princess Kimia at The Usurped Kingdom Car... Where her cell just so happened to be the same one Acerola's Team was taken to.
Never My Fault: If Princess Allie can find a way to blame other people for her own failures, she will do it. In fact, this is the first thing she does when she meets Alva.
Non-Action Guy: Being a Pokémon Trainer, she relies on her Furfrou to fight her enemies. And unlike Acerola, she doesn't even have any powers as a backup plan. As soon as they get taken out by Mimikins, she decides to cut her losses and retreat.
Nothing Nice About Sugar and Spice: She's a more straightforward Girly Girl compared to Acerola, and she also happens to be a giant, self-centered a-hole.
Oh, Crap!: Gets a moment like this when she attempts to fix back the crown of the Usurped Kingdom Car after it was torn apart, only for it to not get fixed, and instead shatter before disappearing. And then the Car begins glitching too...
Pink Is Feminine: She's primarily got pink colors in her attires, and she's a really nasty Girly Girl.
Precision F-Strike: Yells "damn you!" at Acerola during her Rage Breaking Point.
Prefer Jail to the Protagonist: She hates Acerola so much that, when Magearna frees the team and they're escaping, she chooses to stay behind in the cell.
Princess Classic: Zig-Zagged. While she fits the trope in terms of looks, when it comes to personality, she's a far cry from most princesses as a colossal a-hole.
Rage Breaking Point: Being defeated by Acerola, who she sees as nothing but a washed up has been from a long gone monarchy, marks the point where she explodes and tries to have Furfrou destroy everything.
Royal Brat: She's a princess from Kalos, with an attitude about as charming as stepping on a Mareanie's spikes.
Rage Quit: With Furfrou defeated and Acerola more than ready to have Mimikins attack her if she doesn't back away, Princess Allie leaves the Car incensed, promising Acerola that they'll meet again before leaving.
Redheads Are Uncool: She's a redheaded Royal Brat who can act nice, but will just as swiftly drop the pretenses to reveal the condescending jerk she truly is.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to Acerola over how, despite claiming to be a princess, she's pretty much got nothing to show for it.
Rose-Haired Sweetie: Nope; she's actually quite a jerk.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: She's willing to fight and spit at Acerola and the Passage Fair, but as soon as her Furfrou gets knocked out, she decides enough is enough and flees.
Second Episode Introduction: She's introduced at the very end of Chapter 2 of Crown of Thorns, right before The Stinger.
Selective Obliviousness:
- Among the things she tells Acerola that Ash did to her, she mentions him stealing her Pikachu and her boyfriend Clemont, conveniently omitting the fact that the Pikachu was actually Ash's and Clemont wasn't actually her boyfriend, she just took him as her boyfriend due to a misunderstanding.
- Shortly after trying to have Furfrou destroy the Passage Fair with a barrage of Charge Beams, she scolds Acerola when she has Mimikins knock the Pokémon out in order to stop their rampage.
Shadow Archetype: She practically embodies what Acerola would be if rather than reject the haughty ways of her ancestors, she accepted and embraced them.
Skewed Priorities: Despite knowing the type of damage that the crown of the Usurped Kingdom Car can do to whoever wears it, Princess Allie believes it's worth to give it a shot in order to get a kingdom full of Clemonts once the crown gets shot off Azoth Queen's head.
Small Name, Big Ego: Her 'kingdom' isn't nearly as impressive as she makes it out to be, on or off the train.
Sore Loser: She gets so enraged at losing the Passage Fair against Acerola that she has Furfrou unleash a Beam Spam at the fair as revenge.
Starter Villain: She's the first antagonistic person that Acerola encounters on the Train.
Stupid Evil: Not only is she quick to demean and demonize everybody no matter how much stronger than her they are, but when the crown of the Usurped Kingdom Car falls off Azoth Queen's head and is up for grabs, she decides to try use it despite having seen the consequences of using it in the first place.
Teens Are Monsters: She's a teenager given the Age Lift given to the Pokemon World characters, and she's a Royal Brat who's perfectly willing to attack children in a festival if she gets angry enough.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: While we're not told how sweeter she was, Jewel does confirm that Princess Allie used to be nicer-and had a much smaller number-when she first entered the Train comepared to when Acerola meets her.
Underestimating Badassery: She doesn't initially see Acerola and Mimikins as worth her time, seeing as the former comes from a royal family who's had no power in centuries. She's proven very wrong soon after.
Ungrateful Bastard: Magearna helps her escape alongside Acerola's team, practically unprovoked, but she demeans and insults them the same as she's done to everybody else.
Vague Age: While the Age Lift in the story makes it so that she's a teenager by default, her explicit age hasn't been confirmed.
Villainous Princess: She's a haughty princess from Kalos who's such a sore loser she has Furfrou Beam Spam everybody at the Passage Fair for revenge.
We Will Meet Again: Yells this to Acerola before fleeing the Lalaloopsy Land Car after her Furfrou is taken out.
What Are You in For?: Asks this to Acerola once the two realize they've been placed on the same prison cell.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: While she's already rather rude to them, once she discovers Magearna was artificially created, she wastes no time declaring them as just a machine and an "it".
Would Hurt a Child: The Mini Lalaloopsies, or at least one of them, are present at the Passage Fair when she decides to unleash Furfrou at them, and she doesn't spare them any expenses.

Furfrou

Princess Allie's loyal Pokémon companion.

Attack! Attack! Attack!: The only thing he does while attacking the Passage Fair is shoot Charge Beam after Charge Beam.
Beam Spam: He unleashes Charge Beam after Charge Beam at Allie's command when she begins acting like a Sore Loser.
Came Back Wrong: Non-revival example. Princess Allie healed him at a Pokemon Center on the Infinity Train, but doing so caused him to be afflicted with the "Sleep" status effect.
Canine Companion: To Princess Allie.
Loyal Animal Companion: Serves as one for Princess Allie, being her loyal enforcer whenever called.
Non-Elemental: Is a Normal-type.
Sleepyhead: Whatever the Pokemon Center that Princess Allie took him to was, it left him afflicted with the "Sleep" status effect.

Lila Rossi

Lila Rossi / Fox Moth

A parisian teenager from the Miraculous World who entered the Infinity Train before Apex Conductor's attack. She's currently a supervillain by the name of Fox Moth.

Animal-Themed Superbeing: Combines foxes and butterflies as Fox Moth.
Diabolos Ex Machina: She, as Fox Moth, shows up right as princess Kimia's being calmed down, and akumatizes her.
Evil Counterpart: Not that it's difficult to be one when Scarlet Queen is your comparison, but unlike Chloe and her delusions of heroism, Lila/Fox Moth

"The Hero"

A Passenger from an unknown world who came before Marinette. They're eventually revealed to be from a world where Miraculous exist alongside demigods.

Mysterious Past: All we know about him is that he was a guy, and he got on the Train centuries ago. Why he got on the Train, what he did, anything at all about his identity, it's completely unknown.
Only Known by Their Nickname: Hornwood only ever refers to him as "The Hero".
Posthumous Character: He was on the Train centuries before Marinette ever set foot. Even if he hadn't left it, he wouldn't be around to see her.

Juleka Couffaine

A parisian teenager who is the user of the Tiger Miraculous.

Ascended Extra: She's a fairly minor character in Miraculous, but she gets to be the lead of Chapter 3 of Numerology, which features her looking through the remains of The Mall Car.
Asleep for Days: She winds up sleeping for a week straight when she gets on the Seven Days of Sleep Car.
Everybody Has Standards: She's a lover of the macabre, but the things she finds out about The Apex disturb even her.
Mythology Gag: Her number we first see her has, 121, represents the debut of Reflekta (Season 1 episode 21).
Nightmare Fetishist: By her own admission, she likes the macabre. She has her limits, though.
Rage Breaking Point: Once she sees a picture of Drogo Denver with her classmates and remembers what Apex Conductor did, she's livid.

Rose Lavillant

A parisian teenager who is the user of the Pig Miraculous.

Break the Cutie: Since she was so positive, this happened as a side effect of Apex Conductor's power.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Has blonde hair, and she was one of the few people who was friendly with Drogo Denver. Not that it helped her much.
Mortality Phobia: Gains one of these as a side effect of Apex Conductor's attack.
Mythology Gag: Her number that Juleka remembers her having is 411, which is the episdoe debut of Pigella (Season 4, episode 11).
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: She was nothing but nice to Drogo Denver, from welcoming him when he suddenly returns, to seeing him at the hospital one time. Her "reward" is being among Apex Conductor's casualties.
Taking the Bullet: Does this for Juleka when she sees one of Apex Conductor's rays about to hit her.
Senseless Sacrifice: She ends up Taking the Bullet for Juleka during Apex Conductor's attack, but all she ends up doing is briefly delay the inevitable before the supervillain gets her.

Demolisher

A Decepticon that Juleka meets at The Mall Car.

Gentle Giant: He's very big, but he's fairly calm when Juleka meets him.
Humongous Mecha: He's about the size of a building, which is about the average height for Cybertronians in his dimension.
Retired Monster: He was once a war criminal, but has mellowed down ever since the Train took him.
Skewed Priorities: He's annoyed at seeing how Waspinator's parts have been taken by The Apex... Because he believes they didn't ask for permission.

Trip

A Pokémon Trainer from Unova who was a Passenger before meeting his end against The Apex.

Adaptational Badass: In the Blossomverse canon, he only fought against Simon and Grace, and got a faded eye for it. In here, he and his Pokémon take down half of The Apex before he kicks the bucket.
Ambiguous Situation: Whether or not he had an epiphany that he was gay and crushed on Ash is never revealed.
Death by Adaptation: He survived his journey through the train in the Blossomverse, but winds up dying here at the hands of The Apex.
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: He and his Pokémon managed to take down half of The Apex before being taken out himself.
Dying Moment of Awesome: He, along with his Pokémon, took down half of The Apex before the group ultimately killed him.
Last Stand: He did one of this against The Apex, taking out half of them before falling.
Mythology Gag: His Last Stand was in a car with moving portraits. In Blossoming Trail, this car (the Self-Portrait Car) was where he had his epiphany that he crushed on Ash.
Posthumous Character: He's been dead for a while by the time Juleka reads about him.

Chloe Bourgeois (Spoilers)

Chloe Bourgeois / Scarlet Queen / Scarlet Lady

Daughter of the mayor of Paris, and another one of Apex Conductor's victims. She has taken up to try become a superhero on the Train since then, declaring herself a 'true' Miraculous hero.

Action Girl: Whether as Scarlet Queen or Scarlet Lady, she's ready to kick some butt.
Adaptational Badass: She enters the story with what seems to be an Unification between two Miraculous, something her canon counterpart never got to do. This later gets confirmed when she divides a Pollen, revealing she wields both that and a Tikki.
Adaptational Heroism: She was considered a villain by Season 4 and would only get worse from there on out (not counting the possibility of a true redemption arc at the Season 4 finale). This version is more "heroic" but not a goody two shoes.
Adaptational Nice Guy: She is much nicer than she is in canon^note and doesn't show any signs of being a haughty Spoiled Brat. That being said, she's not squeaky clean.
Animal-Themed Superbeing: Ladybugs and bees. To be more specific, her Scarlet Queen form combines both ladybugs and bees, while her Scarlet Lady and unnamed Bee Miraculou persona are based on Ladybugs and bees, respectively.
Ascended Extra: Chloe in Blossoming Trail was just The Ghost, but here she not only physically appears, but does so donning two Miraculous.
Big Entrance: She comes out of nowhere during The Stinger of Thorns' chapter 5, entering the arena and declaring that she's going to stop Princess Kimia right then and there.
Composite Character: She mixes characteristics from both Queen Wasp and Miracle Queen (the control of wasps and bees) and Scarlet Lady (both the name and her wielding a Ladybug Miraculous.)
Chekhov's Gunman: She's mentioned by Marinette as early as chapter 2 of Crown of Thorns, and appears at The Stinger of chapter 5.
Drama-Preserving Handicap: She can't use certain powers while unified as Scarlet Queen, unlike a certain fellow superheroine.
Everyone Has Standards: Even she can't take Princess Allie's bitchy attitude.
Failed Attempt at Drama: Not that she notices. She makes a Big Entrance at the Usurped Kingdom Car and declares Princess Kimia her intention to stop her... While speaking in a language she doesn't understand.
Failed a Spot Check: Despite Princess Kimia blatantly stating she can't understand her, Chloe/Scarlet Queen continues speaking her native language of French.
Fusion Dance: Implied that her "Scarlet Queen" form is an unification of a Ladybug and Bee Miraculous which is later confirmed.
Good Is Not Nice: She's a superheroine, but she retains some of her haughtiness from canon.
Hero of Another Story: She must've had quite an adventure before appearing in story, given she arrives while transformed as Scarlet Queen.
Hybrid Power: Played With. Unlike a certain other Parisian superheroine, she can't use all of the powers of both her Miraculous while in a unified state; she has to divide her Pollen to become Scarlet Lady in order to deakumatize an Akuma, for example.
Laser-Guided Karma: Offscreen, but still. She riled up Drogo Denver until he became Apex Conductor, and was then among the casualties of the latter's rampage.
Logical Weakness: Her Swarm power is definitely strong, but the wasps can't sting anything that is too strong for their stingers. Like Volcanion's hide.
Red Is Heroic: Red is one of her primary colors as Scarlet Queen and Scarlet Lady, and she proclaims herself a true Miraculous hero of the Train.
Scary Stinging Swarm: One of her powers as Scarlet Queen, Swarm, allows her to summon a swarm of wasps that home in and sting whatever their target is.
Shout-Out: One of the alias she has with her own artificial Tikki is Scarlet Lady.
Small Role, Big Impact: She apparently got Drogo Denver so riled up he became Apex Conductor.

Princess Kimia

The princess of the Azoth Kingdom, who's at the Infinity Train and is the current "ruler" of The Usurped Kingdom Car.

Action Girl: She's only caught off-guard by Lucy for a few seconds before she makes the fight more even with one of Lucy's swords. She becomes even more like this as Azoth Queen, using gears to fight back against the heroes alongside Volcanion.
Adaptational Badass: Canon Princess Kimia wasn't much of a fighter, relying on her Gardevoir whenever fighting was involved. In here, she's good enough at swordsmanship to fight Lucy to a standstill.
Ambiguous Situation: Since Akuma Numerology reveals that the Train Kwamis don't work exactly like their real counterparts, whether Azoth Queen can be considered a separate entity from Princess Kimia or if it's the same person is unclear. For what it's worth, once Kimia gets broken out of her trance, she explains to Acerola that she wasn't completely aware of everything she did, just enough to know she was doing something while not being able to actually affect her actions.
Alternate Identity Amnesia: Once she breaks free from akumatization, Princess Kimia, upon being asked by Acerola, says that she kinda remembers what she did as Azoth Queen, but wasn't conscious enough to actually change things.
Arc Villain: The main antagonist of the Usurped Kingdom Car.
Anti-Villain: She's fairly calm and reasonable when Acerola talks to her until she sees Lucy's Facial Markings, and even then, she gives Acerola time to prepare and confirm to a Pokémon Battle before doing anything.
Berserk Button: Recognizing Lucy as a former Apex really sets her off.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Given the way The Usurped Kingdom Car works, it's at least a given she's not entirely in a good state of mind when Acerola talks to her. It only gets worse when Fox Moth akumatizes her, becoming Azoth Queen and gaining the power to wield gears ready to strike at her enemies.
The Corruptible: Not only was she quickly taken by the corrupting influence of the Usurped Kingdom Car's crown, but learning about Magearna joining with Acerola's forces leaves her susceptible to Akumatization, becoming Azoth Queen in the process.
Deadly Euphemism: Tells her Mega Gardevoir to "eliminate" Scarlet Queen when she's weakened from their battle.
Good Princess, Evil Queen: She does this with herself, oddly enough. As Princess Kimia, she's an Anti-Villain who acts as a Reasonable Authority Figure. As Azoth Queen, she's a tyrant intent on destroying Scarlet Queen by all means.
Improperly Paranoid: The main reason why she sent both Acerola and Lucy to the dungeons was because she thought the latter, still sporting her Apex wavemark, had bad intentions for the Car.
Pragmatic Villainy: She really doesn't like stealing Acerola's Mimikium Z, but after seeing the kind of move it could unleash, she felt she had no choice. She eventually returns it once she's knocked out of her akumatization and Acerola tells her to give it back.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Until she sees Lucy's Facial Markings, she's perfectly willing to listen to and hear out Acerola. Even after the realization and imprisoning her in the dungeons, Kimia still treats Acerola decently and gives her a chance for freedom, reserving all her hatred for Lucy.
The Usurper: Is this by default, given the way The Usurped Kingdom Car works.
Vague Age: She's described as an adult in her twenties, but an actual age is never stated.
Villainous Princess: A different breed than Princess Allie, since rather than being malicious, she's antagonistic because of being Brainwashed and Crazy by The Usurped Kingdom Car's crown.
Warrior Princess: While she prefers to let Volcanion do the fighting, she has no problem picking up the slack when Lucy tries to distract her with some swordplay.
Would Hurt a Child: She's a twentysomething who has Volcanion attack Acerola, a teenager, and Lucy, a kid, in order to drive them away from The Usurped Kingdom Car, and isn't shy to strike back when Lucy decides to do some Draw Aggro during the fight.

Gardevoir

A Shiny Gardevoir that serves as Princess Kimia's partner.

Big Damn Heroes: Arrives just in time to cancel Mimikins' "Let's Snuggle Forever" move and knockout Acerola in quick succession.
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Turns out it's a male. He seems pretty cool with it, though, since he only flashes a thumbs up when Acerola corrects herself once corrected on his gender.
Early-Bird Cameo: They make an unspoken cameo when Acerola's team runs away from Volcanion, with Acerola seeing something shiny in the distance, before they appear for real near the end of the fight with Volcanion.
Enhanced Punch: He empowers his punch with a Dazzling Gleam in order to defeat Acerola.
Everyone Has Standards: He's perfectly happy to obey Princess Kimia's commands, but when she outrights orders him to "eliminate" Scarlet Queen, he's visibly shocked before going through with it.
Glass Cannon: He can do some real damage, as Acerola and Mimikins can attest, but he can't take much punishment back.
My Master, Right or Wrong: Even after Princess Kimia became Brainwashed and Crazy due to the Usurped Kingdom Car's crown, Gardevoir follows her orders regardless, though he's honestly shocked when she orders him to eliminate Scarlet Queen.
One-Hit Kill: He doesn't kill her obviously, but Gardevoir "Dazzling Gleam Punch" knocks out Acerola cold.
Shock and Awe: Knows Thunder Wave, which they use to magnetize Acerola's team onto Volcanion.
Super Mode: Since Princess Kimia has a Gardevoirite, she has Gardevoir mega evolve into Mega Gardevoir in order to fight Scarlet Queen.

The Man in the Iron Mask (Spoilers!)

Alva

The former advisor of the kingdom of Azoth.

Late-Arrival Spoiler: He explains his role in the movie rather casually.
Locked in the Dungeon: This happened to him before the story happened, with him being slapped an iron mask on top of it for good measure.
Man in the Iron Mask: Has become this in the Usurped Kingdom Car, being kept inside the dungeons of the Usurped Kingdom Car while its transformed as a copy of the Azoth Kingdom.
Small Role, Big Impact: His actions prior to the story are what sent Princess Kimia onto the Train, and eventually become the Arc Villain of the Usurped Kingdom Car arc.
Walking Spoiler: Not only learning he exists is a spoiler, but doing so also reveals how Princess Kimia got on the Usurped Kingdom Car to begin with.

Specter

A Passenger from Den City. He was killed by The Infinity Reaper.

Death by Adaptation: Specter is normally alive in most Blossomverse stories, but he ends up biting the dust here due to the Infinity Reaper.
Killed Offscreen: By the time we learn he exists, The Infinity Reaper already has his soul on their hands.

Shingo Sawatari

A Passenger from the Yu-Gi-Oh World.

Alliterative Name: Shingo Sawatari.
Bullying a Dragon: It's one thing to be clearly terrified of the Infinity Reaper and accidentally offend them. It's another to outright attack them with one of your monsters and expect to live.
Posthumous Character: He's long dead by the time we first learn about him.

Other

The Conductor (Spoilers)

The Conductor / Amelia Hughes

The Conductor of the Infinity Train, an oddly mechanical humanoid with a red wavelength on their face.

In reality, she's Amelia Hughes, a Passenger from a long time ago who rides a large mecha in order to act as The Conductor.

Accidental Hero: Kind of. She ultimately wipes out all but one of The Apex, who were tormenting the Train for years, but her reasons for doing so are entirely selfish.
Actually, I Am Him: When a group of Denizens come to deliver the busted Zero Cannon to The Conductor and ask where he is, she matter-of-factly tells them they're seeing her, and they connect the dots from there.
Adaptational Early Appearance: Downplayed, since she was present in Book 1, but while it took a few episodes for her to appear in person, in here she appears in what's the equivalent of the start of the show.
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Downplayed. Amelia and The Apex didn't interact in canon, with her limiting it to Simon and Grace. In here, she does address the entirety of The Apex... Before sending them on a Deadly Game to kill them all.
Adaptational Villainy: She sends The Apex onto a death trap where they get gunned down, giving her a bigger (explicit) body count than in the canon series.
Ambition Is Evil: She desires to get the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous so she can use the wish brought by their Unification to bring Alrick, her fiance, back to life.
Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: She's ultimately responsible for the end of The Apex, taking them to The Green Light Red Light Car where events unfold to eradicate them.
Big Bad: Implied, given the story takes place during Book 1.
Brainy Brunette: Has brown hair, and she's smart enough to not only create a Mini-Mecha out of random junk she found on the Train, but also feel confident in fixing the busted Zero Cannon.
Disproportionate Retribution: The Apex wind up at The Homunculus Car and accidentally release one of her creations. She, in response, sends them on a Car based on a Deadly Game that results in all but one of them being gunned down.
Evil Counterpart: To Lusamine, being a fairly old gadgeteer woman who are primarily motivated by the loss of her husband.
Evil Old Folks: Is approaching her sixties and is all but stated to be the Big Bad of Crown of Thorns.
Greater-Scope Villain: She's the main reason why The Apex exists, as an encounter with Grace Monroe is what lead to the latter creating it.
Hidden Agenda Villain: She wants to do something with the Zero Cannon, but besides it being about "preparing for loose ends" we don't know what that is.
Make a Wish: She wants to get the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous so she can unify them and grant her a wish: to bring Alrick back to life.
Mini-Mecha: What "The Conductor" turns out to be, with its rider, Amelia Hughes, being the real conductor.
Samus Is a Girl: Despite initially looking like a massive robot, that's just a mechanical suit; the real conductor is a woman named Amelia Hughes.
Stealthy Colossus: The mecha Amelia rides on's a pretty big hunk of metal, and yet it somehow manages to enter The Cat's shop without her noticing.
Villain Takes an Interest: Once she finds out the Ladybug Miraculous has arrived on the Train, she decides to look for Marinette in order to take it for herself.
Would Hurt a Child: She sends all of The Apex to an early death, including the children.

The Apex

An infamous group of Passengers who once wrecked havoc in the Infinity Train... But are dead by the present day.

All for Nothing: They terrorized the Train and wheeled countless Denizens as part of their delusions that the Train belonged to them. What did this get them? An unceremonious death by being shot down.
Crowd Panic: What lead to their demise: One of the kids got splashed with blood from another after being shot, and from there, they suffer a Freak Out and try to escape, resulting in them being killed.
Death by Adaptation: Most of them were still alive by Blossoming Trail, but they're all dead here.
Death of a Child: Most of The Apex was composed of children, but they weren't spared from whatever killed them all.
Demoted to Extra: They typically play a large role in most Blossomverse stories, but them being dead by the present day means their role here is practically nonexistent.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: Simon was killed by a Ghom in canon, while here he gets gunned down by The Doll.
Everybody's Dead, Dave: By the time we learn more about them in the story, The Apex are basically extinct; half of them got taken out by Trip as revealed in Akuma Numerology, and then most of that half got gunned down by The Doll and taken to be repurposed for something. From the last two remaining members, Lucy eventually ditches her waveline mark in order to fully assimilate into Acerola's group, and while Drogo Denver still believes in the cause, the fact he's back home in a world of superheroes means he can't get away with re-enacting their beliefs without consequence.
Hero Killer: They killed both Trip and Lexi, the former definitely, the latter allegedly.
Karmic Death: Assuming the diary entry is being literal and not meraphorical, then half of the Apex met their end by Trip like their victims: being thrown to the wheels.
Killed Offscreen: By the time they're brought up, something has happened that has outright killed all of them, Grace and Simon included. From a diary entry, it was said that Trip killed off many of them in a Last Stand, but something else had finished the job later.
Posthumous Character: Are dead by the time the story starts.
Undignified Death: Being gunned down while engaging in Crowd Panic isn't the most dignified way to go.

Stewards

Mechanical creatures that resemble a realistic face with mechanical tendrils attached to it.

Combat Tentacles: The tendrils connected to their heads.
Spared by the Adaptation: There was only one Steward left by the time of Book 1, as every other Steward had self-destructed due to Amelia not knowing what she was doing. In here, there's at least enough of them to surround The Apex at The Homunculus Car.

One-One

The former Conductor before Amelia Hughes took over.

Mr. Exposition: He pretty much explains the purpose of the Fowl Play Car as a Tailor-Made Prison for The Infinity Imperium.
Present Absence: He's nowhere to be found during either Crown of Thorns or Akuma Numerology. Justified because he wouldn't have been found in the show until Tulip arrived in the Snow Car.

The Infinity Imperium

An Empire-like organization that was active on the Infinity Train long before The Apex. The Fowl Play Car was created to keep them imprisoned.

The Dreaded: Whatever they were, their name is invoked with caution.
The Empire: It's right there in the name.
Villainous Legacy: The Fowl Prison Car, and Ladybug being trapped there, exists because of their actions.

The Infinity Reaper

A mysterious cloaked figure who serves as The Grim Reaper of the Infinity Train.

Mysterious Past: They were created by Amelia, but that's about all we know about them.
