The city of Paris was a city unlike no other. A city where the unusual happened and the strange make sense. It was the city of lights and love. And in that city, two heroes protected the city from the evil akumas lead by the fearsome HawkMoth. These heroes were called Ladybug and Cat Noir, a duo who worked together to stop HawkMoth's plans. The red suited heroine and the black suited hero often fought day and night to protect their city from danger with the help of their miraculous powers. They grew quite the reputation thanks to the Ladyblog and everyone loved them. In reality, they were two normal high schoolers who work in the fashion industry. Ladybug was known as Marinette Dupain-Cheng, a shy girl who had an eye for fashion design. Cat Noir was known as Adrien Agreste, a model whom Marinette had a major crush on. Both of them were unaware of each other's secret hero lives.
But we aren't talking about them right now. In another part of the country, another miraculous had been awakened and a new hero rises from the shadows.
She is Bumblebee, the yellow and black suited warrior of Lille!
Humble Bee-ginning's!
Welcome to the city of Venice.
Oh wait, that's not a good place to start. Perhaps I should start from the top.
My name is Belle Ricci, just your run of the mill average girl. I'm in ninth grade at the Lille Academy here in France. I like drawing and painting, but I can't do portraits. I also love eating chocolate, spending time with my sister Olivia, and having fun with my best friend Luciana. I'm a bit of a klutz and can be sort of sensitive at times.
One day, I was visiting the museum where my father works as a curator when I came across a strange glowing box. The second I put my hand on it, the clasp open to reveal a small creature inside. Its name was Miele, a kwami from ancient times, who told me that I was going to be a hero known as Bumblebee! Armed with my trusty honey rapier, I donned the mask and became the mighty Bumblebee!
But life would not always be sweet. The day I became Bumblebee was the day I would be my first enemy; Blanc Lapin. A manipulative, coldhearted girl that would turn people into her servants using her bunny pins. Her goal; rid the world of Miraculouses so that she would be unstoppable! Now she's trying to destroy my miraculous, a golden comb, and rid France of its protector.
Delivering justice had never looked so bee-autiful!
Lille Academy
"Oh no I'm going to be so late for school!"
A girl ran up the stairs of the academy two by two, trying to beat the morning bell. She has light orange, chest-length curly hair with bangs part down the center with two long, slightly curled strands framing her face. In her hair was a golden comb in the design of a bee with black stripes, a black head, and wings stretched out to make the arch. Her eyes are golden and her skin is slightly tanned. She wears a honey yellow dress decorated with a orange ribbon at the chest and long white sleeves to match the layers of white frills around the bottom. She also wears white socks and brown fashion boots. In her hand was a brown purse.
"I can't believe I overslept! No more staying up late and drawing the night sky on weekdays!" Belle said, running down the hallways.
A small head popped out of her bag. It was Miele, a little creature with a yellow body and small wings on her back. Her eyes were bright orange and she had antennas sticking out from the top of her head.
"I did tell you to get to bed on time, but someone insisted on drawing Orion's belt." She sighed.
"But Miele that stars were perfect last night! I just had to sketch it out." She told the kwami. "And why are you sticking out of my purse? Get back down before someone sees you!"
"Sure thing, just remember I told you so!" Miele teased, sinking back into the handbag.
Belle took a deep breath as she pushed the door to her class open. She had made it less than one minute and she couldn't be happier. The class was abuzz with chatter as the day had fully started. Placing her stuff down at her desk, she was tapped on the shoulder from behind.
"Wow someone made it here on time for once." Said the voice of her friend Luciana. Luciana was a girl with short blonde hair cut into a short boyish style with the tips fanning out a bit with straight bangs. Her eyes were brown and sparkled in the sun. She wore a green tunic dress with dark green trim and a white bow print, along with dark blue leggings and white tennis shoes.
"I know, I was almost late if I didn't see the clock this morning." Belle laughed.
"Well Belle, did you hear how Bumblebee made an appearance yesterday? The Blanc Lapin hypnotized another person and Bumblebee saved him!" Luciana smiled brightly. "She's just so awesome! I wish I knew who she was so that I could thank her for all she's done."
"Yeah she'd be grateful." Belle replied. "I mean…she'd liked to be recognized for all her hard work."
"It won't be long until she does something that really impacts our world like Ladybug and Cat Noir in Paris!"
Belle paused to think for a second. She had only heard about Ladybug and Cat Noir from the news and she thought they were an excellent pair. Miele had told her that they were also miraculous holders as well and suggested that she team up with them. Belle declined saying that she was fine working on her own.
"Alright class settle down, we have much to discuss today." The teacher called out. "I hope you all have prepared yourselves because we're taking the quiz today!"
A collective groan filled the class, but Belle panicked the worst.
"There was a test today!?"
Above the streets of Lille…
On the rooftops of Venice a strange thing was occurring. A figure walked along the roofs, singing in French. This figure was a young female who was fair in skin. Her hair was short and white, with two black rabbit ears sticking from the top. She wore a white mask on her face. Her attire was a white dress with a puffed trim, long white gloves, and white stockings with white flats. Around her neck was a white choker with a yellow gem. In her hand was a parasol that was both black and white.
This was Blanc Lapin, a miraculous user that uses her parasol to manipulate people.
"Such a beautiful day in Venice, it's almost too beautiful to behold such a sight." She said, twirling her parasol. "And such beauty must be tainted with light. And who am I if I don't give the light to others no?"
Grinning, she leapt from one of the buildings and floated down on the street below. The people gasped at her as she smiled cruelly.
"The only person in this world who can wield a miraculous is me! Not Ladybug, not Cat Noir, and definitely not Bumblebee!" She raised her parasol in the air. "Only those who are pure of heart can use them and I am of purity. Time to paint this world white!"
With her parasol, she summoned her bunny pins from the tip. They flew out and attached themselves to the unlucky people around her. The people's eyes turned white and white masks appear on their faces.
"You know what I seek. Bring me the miraculous that Bumblebee uses and destroy her once and for all!" She commanded her army. They all nod and go around the city doing her bidding. Blanc Lapin smiled to herself. All she needed now was her rival to appear.
Lunchtime…
Belle walked out of the school to the common area behind it. It was finally lunchtime and she was starving! She regretted not eating the breakfast her sister had set out for her this morning. Her stomach grumbled as she sat on a bench near the small pond.
"I knew I should've eaten before I left. Now my stomach is mad." She groaned. "At least I remembered to grab my lunch though." With newfound hope, she opened her lunch bag to see nothing inside. "Where the heck did it all go?"
A small burp came from her purse as she frantically opened it up. Miele smiled back at her, stomach bulging and all.
"Your sister makes the best tuna melts in the world." She said, rubbing her belly.
Belle could almost cry before she saw her partner raise her head quickly. "Belle I think the bunny is out of her hole now!"
"Great, first my lunch gets eaten and now Blanc Lapin is up to no good! I wonder if Ladybug and Cat Noir have to deal with this?" Belle complained.
"No time to fuss now! It's Bee Time!" Miele exclaimed.
"Okay fine, but you owe me lunch!" Belle said, placing her bag on the bench and standing up. "Miele, Stripe Up!"
Belle flips her hair as Miele enters her comb. A bright flash is shown as a yellow glow encases her body. When the glow recedes, she wears a yellow skintight suit with black stripes running down from all sides. Placing her hands on her face, she pulls them apart to reveal a yellow and black striped mask. Her orange hair is put into two buns as two yellow ribbons encircle each of them. Appearing on her back are two light yellow wings. On her hip, her honey rapier is put in her sheath. To finish her transformation, she makes a peace sign with one hand and puts the other on her hip.
"Okay time to see what Blanc Lapin is doing today!" Leaping up, she takes to the skies and flies.
