Gargoyles AU. I loved that show growing up and I thought this would be perfect for ML. But they're not Gargoyles they're different types of human-animal hybrid creatures from mythology. They all lived during medieval France and in peace with humans until Hawkmoth the sorcerer convinced the humans to turn against them and cast a spell that turned them to stone. Luckily Princess Christine one of the very few humans who remained faithful to them sacrificed herself to make the spell temporary but it would be unknown when the spell would break. Years later they awaken in modern day Paris.
Adrien - Goliath - A sphinx, a panther humanoid with wings. He is the leader of his clan. Born in France medieveal times until he and his clan were turned to stone by several wicked humans but was reawakened years later in modren day Paris. Despite being mistreated by some humans in the past he still fights to protect them. He meets and later falls in love with young designer Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Marinette - Elisa Maza - A human fashion designer and descendant of Princess Christine the human who aided the creatures and was able to make the stone curse temporary. Marinette resembles her greatly except different hair and shares her ancestor's compassion and kindness for the creatures. At first she is mistaken for Christine but over time they are devastated to learn that she gave her life to enact a spell that would end their curse. She returns Adrien's feelings of love and like her ancestor did aids them best she can.
Nino - Broadway - A kappa, a turtle humanoid. He is Adrien's best friend and second in command. Entering the modern world he finds himself fascinated with modern day music and movies. He is in love with Alya and tries to woo her.
Alya - Angela - An enfield, a fox humanoid creature with the senses of a wolf, wings, and talons. She's not Adrien's daughter in this but she is part of his clan. She serves as their tracker and navigator due to her canine senses. She quickly befriends Marinette and was Christine's best friend. While she is aware of Nino's crush on her she's not interested.
Plagg - Bronx - A winged cat who serves as the clan's pet. He is very greedy but loyal and devoted to his clan.
Ivan - Brooklyn/Lexington - A gorilla bear, head of a bear with the body of a gorilla. He serves as the muscle of the clan but despite his appearance is very sensitive and gentle.
Tikki - Cagney - Marinette's pet cat who she often brings when she visits the clan. She gets along with Plagg quite well.
Kim - David Xantos - A billionare who tries to use the creatures for personal gain with experiments but later learns not to tamper with forces he doesn't understand.
Max - Owen/Puck - Kim's personal assistant and scientist who unlike Kim is against doing these experiments and often tries to advise him not to interfere with them. He is the descendant of the elf who gave Princess Christine the spell to make the stone curse temporary.
Chloe - Fox - The mayor's daughter who despises the creatures and is willing to pay anything to have them killed. Marinette tries to convince her that they mean her no harm but she refuses to listen.
Nathaniel - Jason Canmore - A shy artist and friend of Marinette who harbors a crush on her. Unknown to her he comes from a long line of monster hunters and is the descendant of Victor Krutzenburg a castle guard who was in love with Princess Christine and jealous of her close friendship with Adrien which led to him being manipulated by Hawkmoth to start a hunt that would destroy him. His descendants follow this similar pattern. Nathaniel is also a hunter and like his ancestor he is jealous of Adrien's friendship with the woman he loves.
Lila - Demona - A harpy, an eagle humanoid and Adrein's former mate to be. Like the other creatures she protected humans but she never trusted them and she never approved Adrein's friendship with Christine. After she awakened from being turned to stone like the other creatures she wanted revenge and vowed to destroy all humans despite protests from the others.
Fu - An old wizard who by magic has managed to stay alive all these years. He was a faithful ally of the creatures and to Princess Christine. He was a young man when the curse took hold and he promised a dying Christine that he would find a way to undo the spell. Years later upon meeting her descendant he has finally found a way to undo the spell and asks Marinette to use it to free the creatures.
Hawkmoth - an evil wizard who wanted to takeover the kingdom of France but was unable to due to the creatures's interference. He manipulated the humans into turning against them and cast the dreaded curse that turned them to stone. He enslaved the kingdom of France with his dark powers after that but met his fitting end when a younger Fu destroyed his spell book and turned him to stone.
