Feathers. Fencing. Punny. These are just a few of the things that Ladybug has noticed about Chat. Although, these little quirks are not just normal parts of his personality that she has noticed. These tidbits are things that Ladybug can use to identify Chat out of mask.

Ladybug didn't really intentionally pick out things that would connect him to his civilian form, but her mind just instinctively wrote them down and put them away in a file folder for later use.

At first she was just keeping this list in her brain, but the words were soon coming out onto the pages of her diary. Marinette knew that she couldn't tell anyone about this yet (also the billions of other secrets she had put down in her journal), so she decided to make a trap for anyone who thought they could learn more about the quiet fifteen year old girl. She truthfully got inspired after she thought more about the secret compartment in Adrien's phone case, but she wanted to make it harder to open.

After months of planning and stealing tools (and often odd shaped kitchen tools) Marinette finished her trap. And just in time I'd say, Marinette thought to herself as she grasped Sabrina's arm. With the upcoming election for class president, Marinette should have known Chloe would do something like this. Marinette held up the key to her locked box to the class so they could see what she was doing clearly. The key clicked and the box that held her diary snapped off of Sabrina's hand.

"Got an explanation, Chloe?" Alya asked, always being the one to support her best friend.

"I told you!" Chloe raged, "I never took her diary. And I'm offended that you're accusing me!" She dramatically tossed her head so that a cloud of hairspray puffed off of her.

Marinette was not always good at comebacks, but for once, Marinette felt her Ladybug side help her out a little bit. "Then how did you even know my diary was in here?" The class took a collective gasp and looked eagerly at the two girls, secretly hoping for some kind of cat fight.

"Oh, well….Sabrina told me. It was her IDEA!" Chloe tried to defend herself and put herself in a better light, but it didn't work. The whole class turned on her.

Alya took a step closer to her best friend and whispered in her ear. "At least now we know nobody is going to vote for Chloe. You're gonna be our new representative!" Marinette shook her head.

"No Alya." Chloe heard this and laughed.

"Ha! See? She's undependable! She's already throwing in the towel!"

Marinette frowned and stood her ground. Unbeknownst to her, Adrien had stopped a foot away from the doors to the hotel and had turned towards Marinette's defiant voice.

"No, I'm not! I just want to be voted in fairly, not because you don't want to vote for Chloe, but because you believe in me." Marinette stepped closer in to the crowd of students, making sure everyone in the room could hear her. Even the Mayor and Jagged Stone turned their ears on her "The thing is… I'm not going to be able to get you everything you want, but I'm resourceful and I know how to prioritize. I'm a good listener and a great multitasker. Representing you all is something I truly believe in. And most importantly, I believe in myself. So…Vote for Marinette for class representative!"

Everyone in the room clapped and cheered her on. Marinette smiled at the people before her, soaking in their happiness as she held her diary close to her.

One thing that Marinette' mind could not let go of even after she had wished everyone a goodnight, as she left for home, was that she was missing one face. She was missing one face that had always looked at her like she was doing something brilliant. The face that brightened whenever it would look her way. The eyes that always told her what she was doing right, and no matter what, would protect her. That is one other thing that Marinette could add to her list. Caring.
