I used to defend Paris, with my partner Cat Noir, but we've heard rumors that Hawk Moth, the villain, is coming here next. Cat Noir and I… we can't leave Paris. I'm still in school, and so is Cat Noir. His identity… is my supercrush, Adrien Agreste. So Master Fu sent Adrien and I here to train a new Ladybug and a new Cat Noir."/span/p
