Lila Rossi had never had many friends growing up thanks to her mother the Italian ambassador moving them about until they had recently settled in Paris, France. She had tried to get herself noticed by prior classmates with tall tales and a desire to not only become popular but be more than just a diplomat's daughter. She had gotten to know her new classmates and two caught her eye.
There was Adrien Agreste the rich boy model but he seemed passive to his childhood friend and the class bully the spoiled daughter of the mayor Chloe Bourgeois who more than lived up to the stories that she had heard from the other students. She was totally head over heels over him and Lila decided that trying to be with Adrien wouldn't be worth it since he seemed to be more about keeping the peace and trying to make excuses for Chloe and it wouldn't be worth it if Chloe came after her for competition.
However the other classmate that caught her eye was Marinette Dupain-Cheng the clumsy bakery's daughter who was an aspiring fashion designer (a not unimpressive one at that) and Chloe's favourite daughter. She was utterly adorable and pretty especially with how fluttered she was at the slightest flirting.
Not long after she had offered Marinette to share her umbrella during the rain which she appreciated and Lila asked if she wanted to go out some time on a date but would be fine if she turned her down since it was too early. Marinette ended up accepting and soon they were the class couple.
Lila took delight in flustering Marinette softly and would make snide remarks against Chloe's insults and would help her against Chloe's antics. Lila had told Marinette to ignore Adrien when she was trying to make her feel guilty about Chloe throwing a tantrum in wanting to move to New York with her mother. Lila was instantly accepted by Marinette's parents when she came over to the bakery for the first time and liked to model her girlfriend's designs especially when they started up Marinette's website along with Marinette's best friend Alya.
It was helping her getting a shot as a model for the Agreste brand with them and the class happy for her.
Right now the two of them and Alya were in Marinette's room as Alya was trying on the new Ladybug jacket with Lila loving it despite not being a fan of Ladybug. "I will have to be sure to keep it safe since in fifteen years it will be worth a lot of money. You know being one of the first official products of Marinette Dupain-Cheng the superstar designer whose top model is her wife Lila Dupain-Cheng." Lila told her and Marinette was embarrassed.
"You are giving too big expectations of me Lila... Wait wife?" Marinette asked freezing on the spot.
"I spoilt the surprise; I plan on proposing as soon as we are adults..." Lila laughed as Marinette fainted with a thud on the floor. Lila panicked shaking her to get up saying "Marinette, I was just kidding!"
"Those two are the perfect couple..." Alya laughed shaking her head.
When the Stoneheart Akuma appeared the one who would become Volpina decided to make use of the Miraculous passed down from her grandmother and ended up meeting Ladybug the new heroine her age who had came across a Miraculous herself. They ended up defeating Stoneheart and were now partners and Paris' new superhero team.
They got on eachother's nerves with Ladybug being too serious and on the task for Volpina's taste. Volpina liked to show off and bask in the glory of being a celebrity superhero since being famous was what she was dreamed of being. Ladybug saw being superheroes as a job they should take with the upmost seriousness and wasn't happy after Volpina had used her illusion powers to stop a fake meteor in order to impress the people of France. Okay it sent people into an unneeded panic and she never tried anything like that again but Ladybug never let her forget it.
Volpina took pleasure in fighting several Akumas including whenever Chloe got herself akumatized and was halfway through throwing Bob Roth to the Silencer Akuma after he had stolen Marinette's designs for Kitty Section. She also wasn't too thrilled with Eviillustrator who was in love with Marinette himself but took great delight in being Marinette's bodyguard for that duration.
Volpina was on patrol and didn't even bother pretending to listen anymore as Ladybug told her off, "I really should have known you would have showed off on that interview for Face to Face and you treating this like a game." Ladybug told her and Volpina glared at her direction.
"You are blowing this out of proportion; it's not like I don't know when to get serious." Volpina said as she would be counted on to go to the task when it was clear that civilian would be in imminent danger soon. Plus it wasn't like she was anything like Chloe Bourgeois when she found the Bee Miraculous and became Queen Bee, intentionally almost crashing a train so that she could try and play hero for the camera. That horrified and disgusted her as she wouldn't go that far; her meteor illusion had no chance of seriously hurting anyone even though she could now see that the problem that the panic could have caused.
She was so glad that Chloe was another country's problem now...
"I can see that you don't like my company and would prefer someone else's." Ladybug told her.
"Like Multimouse who you should really give a second chance to." Volpina retorted knowing that excited and thrilled she was to find that the new temporary Miraculous holder chosen to fight Kwami Buster turned out to have been Marinette only to be open mouthed to hear Ladybug tell off Marinette for taking off the Miraculous in public and saying that she can't have use a Miraculous again.
Ladybug lost points from her like that.
"She was a foolish girl who got careless in revealing herself, she can't be trusted..." Ladybug replied and Volpina looked like she was just stopping herself from slapping her.
"I need to go since I have reached my limit of how much time I can stand being around you." Volpina said leaving to go back to her home.
