Miraculous Rewrite - Blog Posts

At what point in the story do Night Light and Greyhound come into play for the story?

Ooh, I’ve been wanting to talk about this one for quite a bit!!! Okay, this may be a bit confusing, but here goes:

While Greyhound and Night Light are partners who also share a focus season (that being Season 3), they actually get their Miraculous at different points of MTS.

Felix finds his Miraculous in the premiere of Season 3 (which is in the show’s time, during the winter, as each MTS season would be a literal season, with summer being both the first and final season of the show, that being S1 and S5). The first episode would basically be a Greyhound debut episode, with Night Light taking the lead in the second episode of S3.

Zoe gets her Miraculous as a gift from her sister (who is unaware that said gift is a Miraculous), shortly after Chloe herself gets a Miraculous. She is the only hero to get their Miraculous in Season 2 (which is during the autumn) who isn’t a strong focus in that season (LB and CN got their Miraculous in S1 obviously, and CP, RR, and QB all have far stronger plots in S2, while NL is just kinda there with only a little focus). Like the other Season 2 heroes (aside from the elusive Turquoise, who only occupies the first half of Season 2), Zoe becomes a hero in the second half of S2.

Thanks for the ask!

Dropping an obligatory disclaimer before I decide to start rambling about the MTS characters:

While I do have the occasional… grievance… with how the original Miraculous show handles its plots and characters, I don’t completely hate the show. There’s some aspects of it I rather enjoy. That’s kinda what got me started here, after all, being interested in the core concept/premise of Miraculous.

Don’t get me wrong, when we first started coming up with ideas for our own Miraculous show (which was referred to as Mirauclous: Rewritten at the time), it was kind of a “grrrrrr I hate the Miracubug, I bet I could write it SO MUCH BETTER” but I was being pretty immature at the time. Now it’s a lot less about one-uping the writers and far more about coming up with a compelling story using the main ideas of the original as a framework.

That’s why I might tag my posts as “miraculous rewrite” (because that’s the tag people use when they wanna see a different kind of Miraculous), but it’s actually far more akin to a miraculous reboot of sorts. That’s also why the characters will be a bit more different from their OG counterparts than they should in a miraculous rewrite, kinda like how the Turtles’ personalities change a bit in each TMNT reboot.

So yeah, if we didn’t end up keeping some element of the OG show, that doesn’t necessarily mean that we hated said element, it just wasn’t a part of the story we wanted to tell, or it simply wasn’t logical to include with the MTS context (for example, I think Alya becoming Ladybug’s confidant and a temp Ladybug was a really cool idea in the main show, but as you’ll end up seeing down the line, it would not work with the new story events and character dynamics that appear in MTS).

If there’s a particular part of the show you’re especially curious about, feel free to drop an ask about whether it’s included in Miraculous: The Series! If it’s not, I can explain what plot point occurs in its place. While I can’t guarantee that you won’t be disappointed by a few of the changes (quite a few popular aspects do get replaced), I also think that’s there’s quite a bit that you’ll enjoy.

Planning a reboot of sorts of Miraculous Ladybug (reboot because I’m not focusing on correcting things from the previous show as much as using the concepts from ML to make my own thing, since I like the og show, just wanted to make my own interpretation). These two are Night Light (Zoe Lee but she wields the firefly miraculous, which is original to the reboot) and Greyhound (Felix but based off his PV iteration, and he wields the dog miraculous but it kinda works differently from Miraculous). They are superhero partners, but NOT love interests. And don’t worry, they also aren’t the main characters, that’s still Ladybug and Chat Noir (who I might post one day if people are interested).
