Nathalie Sancoeur would say she was highly... dedicated to Gabriel Agreste. She wanted nothing more than for him and Adrien to be happy, even if it means bringing Gabriel's wife back, pushing her further from the man she deeply cared about. She wouldn't say loved, not yet.
So, when he asked her to learn more about the discovery from Mexico, she gladly obliged. There was a lot to unpack, with a bulk of the information in most articles being in Spanish and English. It was a good thing her job required her knowing several languages.
What she could decipher so far had been helpful. Most of the cave depictions displayed stories about the god Camazotz, the Mayan bat god associated with night, death, and sacrifice. His name translated quite literally into 'death bat' in K'iche. Apparently, after being plagued with Camazotz and his followers for an unspecified amount of time, the Mayans offered up a young woman described whom could not go outside in daylight yet had not been apart of the god's minions, thus marking her as chosen by Itzamna -the Ruler of the Heavens in Mayan religion- to be his bride.
Nathalie came to the conclusion that, due to her albinism, the body that was discovered must have been the one they sacrificed to the blood thirsty deity.
Perhaps, she held a bat miraculous? It would explain her tattoos of dark, small, flying creatures among other things, and her connection to the bat god. However, nothing that had been translates so far talked about important items, though there was something about an ancient ritual of 'sealing'. Not much headway had been made about that topic, as only a small percentage of the story had been unraveled.
Explorers said they had yet to reach the end of the cave, either, so more information was on its way. Although, most of the expositions inward had been halted upon discovering the apparent tomb.
Having nothing more to read about the cave itself, the assistant turned her attention to the body. It was being examined in the Louvre Musuem in a day now that it had arrived from overseas. There, they would likely use an x-ray to look inside it, see if the insides are as preserved as the outside. Apparently, it had no pulse, or else there would have been headlines like, 'Living teen found in ancient cave,' instead of, 'perfectly preserved 4,000 year-old body.'
Apparently, a Miraculous could not sustain a human for four centuries after all*. Though, it did under-complicate their situation. Now, instead of having to wake the previous wielder, they could just take the jewel itself.
It would be perfect to send in an akumatized villain into the Louvre, retrieve the miraculous, and bring it to Hawk Moth. Simple and reliable. It wasn't like they could speak Yucatec Maya anyways.
With the information she had, Nathalie felt like she could go to Gabriel to start coming up a plan to capture this new miraculous.
Alim Kubdel was shocked and intrigued when the directors -Jean-Luc Martinez and Henri Loyrette- invited him in on the analization of the Yucatan Albino, what people had taken to calling the recently recovered body. He would guess because of him being an Egyptian historian and dealt a lot with the mummification process.
He and a group of other prominent individuals in the Louvre were present in the room with the body.
It was a very, very pale girl no older than in her mid teens. Her stark white hair was down past her waist and was thick enough to loose a hand in. Her eyes, as they found after checking beneath her eyelids, were in fact reddish pink, showing that she was, indeed, suffering from albinism. Her fine clothes indicate that she was an important person, possibly connected to the story of her being given to Camazotz as his bride to stop him from terrorizing the Mayans. Surprising, even though she was speculated to have been in the cave for over 4,000 years, she showed absolutely no sign of decay whatsoever. She looked slightly emaciated, fair, but not skin-and-bones. Her fingernails aren't overgrown much, either. Just slightly on the long side. There were also no indications that animals or insects were eating on her either. Even her crown of roses on her head had not wilted nor lost any petals.
"Where do we start?" one of the group asked.
"Why don't we start with examining when her clothes date her?" another offered up. "I'm sure we can send the flowers to a botanist to see when they think they were cut, if they're fresh."
Jean-Luc hummed, hand resting on his chin with his other arm crossed. "We'll need them to come here. Absolutely nothing is allowed to leave the Louvre."
Henri nodded. "Right. Everything is too valuable."
One of the researchers with white gloves gently reached for the crown and took it off the body's head. Some hair was tangled in it, but otherwise, it came off easily. They set it aside on another table.
A female, also in special gloves, proceeded to open the mouth.
"Teeth look healthy and clean. Odd. However, it appears she has a genetic defect. Upper incisors are oversized..." She press the tip of her pointer finger to one. The tooth easily slices through the material and into her skin. A drop of rosy crimson lands in the girl's mouth. "...and incredibly sharp."
She pulled away, cradling her hand. The once purely snow colored glove now had a contrasting red stain that continued to grow. As one of the directors scolded her on her 'idiotic' action, the crowd's attention was diverted from the cadaver.
As the red liquid took its time to seep onto the tongue, a boundless shutter wracked through the albino. Pale eyelids flew open as muscles contracted. Her hands curled while a cough tore through her throat.
This sound was what made all eyes turn to the previously deceased teenager, varying levels of surprise displayed on each of them.
Red eyes blinked back, not even taking in her strange surroundings. All she could focus on was the undeniable ache, a familiar one.
She was hungry. And it looked like she wouldn't need to waste time in hunting down a meal.
* - Nathalie and Gabriel don't know about Bunnix, and her surviving over 5 centuries due to her miraculous. They're ignorant to that information.
