Ladybug takes leave; Marieta steps up
It's with great sadness this reporter informs you that Paris' celebrated superheroine, Ladybug, has put her mask aside for the foreseeable future.
This is unexpected and great shock has been shown all over the city.
Earlier today there was an akuma attack at the Trocadéro by Mr. Pigeon. Chat Noir arrived at the scene within minutes and tried subduing the bird themed akuma. It was going well until Mr. Pigeon got in a lucky shot. Just as Chat Noir was about to be overwhelmed a yoyo flew through the air and knocked the constantly returning akuma down.
The yoyo was not Ladybug's.
Instead a different girl in polka dots entered the fight and her outfit made it quite clear who she was supposed to be.
She was wearing a somewhat loose one piece with short sleeves and three quarter long trousers. A mask covered her face. Her hair was short and tied with ribbons. Everything was red with black spots. (See attached photo)
Chat Noir did not show any signs of surprise which leads us to believe that he already knew about this new hero.
Together they ended the fight without any struggle. (More about the attack itself on page 11)
Then reporters from all of Paris, myself included, asked the questions we all wanted answers to.
The girl introduced herself as Marieta.
Marieta handled the pressure of the press with finess and was more than willing to give a short explanation.
In the end it all came down to one thing.
Ladybug had personal affairs to handle and had thereby handed over the responsibility of Paris safety to Marieta.
When asked if she considered it difficult replacing someone as loved as Ladybug she answered: "I'm not replacing anyone. I'm not Ladybug; I'm Marieta. Right now I'm another hero, just as Carapace or Rena Rouge. It doesn't matter what colours I wear and it doesn't mean that we're supposed to disrespect the hero that came before me. Ladybug has been a great hero in her own right and should be treated as such."
Chat Noir didn't comment, but showed his agreement.
The two superheroes left not too much later.
I can only think of two things left to say.
Thank you Ladybug and welcome Marieta.

What's happening with Adrien Agreste?
Most known for his father's fashion company and his own modelling career, teenage model Adrien Agreste has always been the epitome of perfection.
This might not be correct anymore.
This afternoon the younger Agreste could be found attending the yearly charity dinner at Le Grand Paris.
All of Paris wealthy were in attendance and a lot of deals were agreed upon during this event.
Despite Gabriel Agreste being present for the first time in years, Adrien was the one that caught most of the media's attention.
Adrien Agreste was for the first time every seen with a less than perfect appearance and posture.
He had clear bags under his eyes and was slouching. His clothes might have been Gabriel, but they were ruffled.
He was out of it to say the least.
Multiple accounts tell us how he kept staring into space, sigh and even bang his head against the wall.
What does this mean?
Most think that the model has been having a secret fling that turned out bad.
Other popular theories involve crushes, the mafia and other similar reasons for this pelicular behaviour.
These theories were only strengthened when Adrien seemingly disappeared somewhere in the middle of the dinner to later return without any explanation.
More information at a later date.

The queen of fashion returns to NY
Audrey Bourgeois, famous fashion critique, have been in Paris for the last few weeks.
The visit was only supposed to be for a couple of days, but our sources says she stayed longer to regain contact with her estranged daughter, Chloe Bourgeois.
Doesn't the thought of a good family reunion warm your heart?
Despite the initial bumps in the road (the Queen Wasp, Queen Bee and Malediktator incidents) their mother-daughter relationship seems to have improved.
However, now it's been confirmed that Mrs. Bourgeois is returning to New York.
Her return has been awaited and is just in time for the beginning of preparations for Fashion Week.
It is rumoured that she is bringing a Parisian girl with her to America to serve as her protege.
This remains unconfirmed.

Ambassador's daughter sent to boarding school for troubled youths
The scandal everyone wants to know about regards ambassador Rossi's daughter, Lila Rossi.
Lila Rossi has been to multiple school through the years because of her mother's work and thereby never gotten any chance to truly settle down. The Italian ambassador has at a handful of times stated that it's been tough on the girl, but that she's a charming individual that's taken it all in stride.
That has been proven untrue today.
The entire thing came to light when the ambassador got a call from her daughter's teacher this morning.
The teacher was calling to confirm a few statements Lila had given to teachers and students alike. These statements varied in seriousness, but had caused quite the stir.
Ambassador Rossi took the rest of the day off and headed for the school to get to the bottom of things.
The rest of the morning was spent at Collége Françoise Dupont to solve an issue that had arisen.
Apparently Lila Rossi had gotten back to school a month earlier from a trip to Achu where she worked closely with Prince Ali.
Her mother had been under the impression that the school was closed to deal with the damage from akuma attacks.
It only got worse from there.
Lila had been spreading lies about famous figures as Jagged Stone and Ladybug to capture the attention of all her classmates.
She also lied to tarnish the reputation of the mayor's daughter, Chloe Bourgeois, and Marinette Dupain-Cheng. This in turn lead to a lot of students that followed her lead and started talking badly about them and ostracised them. Both girl have left the school to seek education at a place where they don't get bullied.
Principal Damocles was hard pressed by several parents to deliver serious repercussions.
Following students were expelled because of grave bullying and slander: Lila Rossi, Alya Césaire, Max Kanté, Alix Kubdel, Nino Lahiffe, Lê Chiến Kim and Sabrina Raincomprix.
The rest of the students all got less serious punishments including detentions and cleaning duty.
From now on Collége Françoise Dupont has a strict no-bullying policy.
Ambassador Rossi has chosen to send Lila to a boarding school in Switzerland for troubled youths with hope for improvement from her only child.
How this will effect our Italian ambassador's career is unclear at the moment.
Marinette closed her laptop.
This was something she had needed to do.
She needed closure.
Her eyes went to the window and she caught her first glimpse of New York.
And as in slowmotion everything changed.
Her stomach loosened up and all negative feelings left her.
For just one moment she forgot it all.
Instead relief and excitement bubbled up.
She kept staring out at what would now be her home for who knew how long and everything finally sank in.
A few tears rolled down her cheeks unnoticed, but her face was set in the biggest smile she'd had for a long time.
She let the laugh she'd been holding back out.
It might be bittersweet, but it's not the end.
This is only the beginning.
