Hopefully by then in season 6, Team Miraculous doesn't fall for Lila/Cerise (Whatever her real name is) again. Even if she's disguised to fool everyone. She can hide her real hair and eye color but she can't hide her real voice. I searched online for what pathological liars can really do and there are four types in main behaviors.
Characteristics of Pathological Lying. Experts look for four main behaviors when trying to figure out if someone is a pathological liar:
Excessive lying.
Pathological liars lie more than others. They make up stories that sound real enough that people believe them. They then add more lies to back up the original lies. The lies they tell can be outlandish and easily disproved. For example, they might falsely claim to have received an award or say that still-living family members died.
Lying without good reason.
Many people tell small lies to avoid unpleasant consequences, like saying they were late because of traffic instead of admitting that they overslept. But pathological liars don't have a clear motive. They tell stories that don't benefit them and might actually hurt them when the truth comes out.
Long-term problem.
Pathological lying usually happens for years. It often begins when in the teens and continues indefinitely, into all areas of life. Their dishonesty might be the thing people remember most about them.
The lying is not a symptom of other mental illness.
A pathological liar might have other mental conditions such as depression or anxiety. But that isn't the cause of their lying. Pathological lying is a condition, not a symptom of something else.
Back to the story now.
In New York, Luna received a package from Paris and as she unwrapped it, it was a bag purse designed by Marinette Dupain Cheng. She admired the nebula purple and black pattern that she enjoys a lot.
Dear Luna,
I hope this bag comes in handy in life like with mine. Thank you for everything as well as from your friend Pelle.
Marinette Dupain Cheng.
"Heh, she really is great at fashion designing" She tries it on, "Me encanta" She loved it.
"This can help me hide with you at all times as well as with snacks too"
Clawws phased through the purse bag and it fit her, "It's perfect" She said from the inside.
"Awesome. Thank you, Marinette" Luna said.
In Sweden, Pelle also received a package from Paris at the same time too. As he opened it, it was an elephant-themed fanny pack to put on his waist wherever he went.
Dear Pelle,
I hope this bag helps you with everything. Thanks for all the help and confidence you gave me as well as with your friend Luna.
Marinette Dupain Cheng
"Det var snällt av henne. Tack Marinette" Pelle said in Swedish.
He puts it around his waist, "Tja vad vet du? Den passar bra på mig" He looks in the mirror.
"What?" Trunkk said.
"It fits me well, doesn't it, Trunkk?" Pelle said.
"Yes. And for me to hide in" Trunkk phased through the bag pouch.
"I hope it's comfy inside," Pelle said.
"It is. I'm loving it now" Trunkk said inside the pouch bag.
"Great. Looks like you got the perfect hiding spot" Pelle said and looked through his photo album of Polaroid pictures, "Heh, I always used to love dinosaurs as a kid but now I get to see how real they are" Pelle said.
"Even the extinct mammals you got to see" Trunkk grabs a chocolate bar.
"Yup. Thanks for the design you made for me, Marinette" Pelle said.

At school, Marinette and Adrien are making sure to not get fooled by whatever disguise Cerise is in the school. It wasn't easy but Luna has learned how to recognize a deceiver. Know their target and their weakness. That's what she told them.
"Wherever she is, keep your eyes out," Adrien said.
"And Luna said to not give out what we are planning to her," Marinette said.
"My cousin gave me this as well as for you to…" Adrien stopped himself from giving out too much information in the school, "…..See clearly through reading" He hands her the reading glasses that contain technology. Just like Felix's monocle.
"Wow, Cool. I look like Socqueline" Marinette said.
"The girl that works at the art store and was there for you whenever Chloe bullied you last year before I met you?" Adrien guessed.
"Yes. Let's see what these got" Marinette pressed a hidden switch on the glasses.
The technology activated the X-ray vision through everyone's and so far it only reads that they are normal. Especially their heart rate levels and body temperature.
"Neat" Marinette looks at Adrien, seeing his skeleton.
"My, you look marvelous" Marinette flirted.
"Thanks" Adrien replied.
To everyone's eyes, they only see that she's wearing regular reading glasses.
"I hope these will come to use," Marinette said.
"Mmhmm" Adrien said before putting on his monocle, even if he begged Felix to give him something suitable but he said he was working on it, "How do I look?" He asked.
"Goofy but charming as you are," Marinette said.
"Yeah, my geek girl," Adrien said.
"Now get to class. I'm sure your….twin brother….is covering for you" Marinette referring to his cousin in disguise to confuse Cerise which is which.
"He got it covered" Adrien kissed her cheek before they got to class.
Felix in Adrien disguise once again checked everywhere until he found her through his monocle. He remembers the advice from the country heroes to not jump in and ruin the coverup. He has to observe every move and what their motive is.
"It got to be her," He thought and followed her.
He can't blow up his cover again like he did the last time. Never again. He observed her and from what he saw she was disguised as a preppy girl from Scotland.
"Silly disguise" He thought it looked too ridiculous.
But of course, the technology can see through her disguise that it's definitely her.
He hides behind the wall of the hallway to not get caught, "Kagami, be careful. She's here all right. She's disguised as a preppy girl from Scotland. Warn our lovebirds" He said through his ear comms.
"Got it" Kagami nodded and went to the classroom.
Felix peered, seeing Cerise going to Marinette's locker, "Oh, no you don't" Felix quickly headed into the boys's bathroom and had an idea of what to do. He takes out a black hair wig to disguise himself as a cunning bully.
"Cruel but it will be cruel for her" Felix chuckled as he put the wig on and took a spitball tube. As soon as he came out, he did his thing. He targets a disguised Cerise and spits at her. Repeatedly until she moves away from Marinette's locker, hoping she doesn't try to frame her again like last time.
"Okay, who spat at me?!" She said in her fake Scottish voice.
"Well, well, well. Your accent deceives me pretty much" Felix in disguise does a British accent to hide his voice.
"Just who are you?" Cerise asked.
"Someone you don't wanna mess with," Disguised Felix said, "Unless you want me to put cockroaches in your locker? Just like you tried to sneak into the wrong locker a moment ago"
"I just thought it was my locker" Disguised Cerise lied.
"Funny. I'm the best bully here, don't take my fame or I will be putting something in your locker you'll never forget" Disguised Felix made his British accent much scarier.
"Buzz off!" Disguised Cerise ran off.
Felix snickered that she fell for it. What goes around comes around. At least he recognized her fake acting. Scottish accents are like a mixture of old English and some girls with Scottish accents would have a little deep voice to speak through that accent.
"She may be good at disguises but not her voice," He said.
After school was over, Marinette and Adrien received a message from Felix that Cerise was disguised as a preppy Scottish girl.
"Looks like Cerise is gonna fail once more, Adrien" Marinette said.
"Yeah, she won't hurt you anymore," Adrien said.
"She never makes a promise to anyone but herself," Marinette said.
"One thing I know is that bringing up a lie about having illness just proves she's saying that to grab attention. Be on the lookout" Adrien said.
"Got it, my prince," Marinette said.
"I suppose my 'twin brother' put the cruelty on her" Adrien snickered.
"Mmmmhmmm" Marinette smiled smugly.
"Boy, he's good at being mischief. Instead of bad mischief, he's doing good mischief for us" Adrien said.
"While Cerise does misery," Marinette said, adjusting her glasses.
"Exactly," Adrien said before heading outside the school, to avoid where Cerise was.
"Now what Adrien?" Marinette pretends to read a book.
"I suppose our Spanish and Swedish friends have taught us something like grownups. Checking facts, observing the enemy, finding strengths and weaknesses, and do not blow cover" Adrien said.
"Yeah, they did," Marinette said.
"Remember. When you see a liar, don't let out your overreaction. She will think you are against her" Adrien said.
"Got it," Marinette said.
"If we wanna play her game, we'll play hers," Adrien said.
"Yep," Marinette agreed.

While arriving home, he sees Felix enjoying the Tekkamaki sushi with chopsticks. Adrien chuckled at his cousin enjoying too much of his dragon queen's amazing Japanese food.
"Better than crumpets I suppose?" Adrien guessed.
"Yep, sometimes you got to try something new," Felix said.
"You spent far too much in London, you always think the world is filled with monsters when you create sentimonsters of your own" Adrien goes to the fridge to grab a snack, "But instead, you refuse to create them because they are not easy to control"
"Not anymore. The only real monster is Cerise" Felix said.
"Until I realized that she and I have the same father," Adrien said, eating the leftover Chinese food in a paper box.
"Unfortunately. But her ambitions are worse than his now, like she killed your uncle for failing to destroy the heroes" Felix said.
"And just like how my father tried to kill you that day for his private club party. Especially the day you and your mom came to visit and you sent that video to my friends to have 3 of them akumatized to almost get us both killed. That's twice my father tried to kill you which I should've known before you knew who he really was all along" Adrien said, a little angry that his cousin never told him anything the same way his lady did to him.
"I know that. And we've been through these all a thousand times. Plus, it wasn't the right time to reveal" Felix was annoyed at being reminded.
"Oh, really? That day during the nightmare plague when you rescued me and Kagami in London, I saw you were having a nightmare headache. You were scared that your father would come back from the dead to finish what he started" Adrien remembered.
"Yeah, I can't believe Mom married a killer," Felix said.
"Technically our grandparents made a marriage arrangement for your mom. My mom never got along with them when she met Gabriel" Adrien tossed the paper box in the trash, "And since you and your mom moved here to start a new life, I'm guessing my father played along to make you look bad for me to think you started this mess so he won't have you sneaking around the mansion"
"Yep. That's right" Felix looks through the window.
"Why do you do mischief if your father doesn't control your life anymore when he died?" Adrien asked.
"His abuse changed me into what I hated," Felix said.
Adrien ate a crumpet, "And I thought your mom would raise you to be nice"
Felix snatched the eaten crumpet from him and ate it, "She did but she was protecting me from him. She sent me to school early so I could be out of that house and away from him"
"That makes sense. Though the damage was already done by then" Adrien said.
"Yup. Even if I did tell you your father was that monster, you wouldn't have believed me. If I told Ladybug and Cat Noir, they still wouldn't believe me. That's why I never said anything" Felix said.
"Like they all say, nobody would believe a kid," Adrien said.
"Yup. And again, Flairmidable did not like to be tamed by Ladybug. His dog ears were too loud for him" Felix said.
"But he was a bad puppy. Too young to wander in the streets like a street dog" Adrien made fun of his dog-themed superhero.
"Yep. Ironic that I love dogs" Felix rolls his eyes.
"By the way, that black wig you had to disguise yourself for Cerise made you look like some goth punk boy" Adrien noted the black wig.
"Yeah. But I was pretending to be a bully. She was going into your girlfriend's locker. Man, you just hate to admit how much you need me to save your ass" Felix smirked.
"I've done a lot of things I should have done long ago, I never should have told Marinette to take the high road," Adrien said.
"That's why you're a dumbass idiot to think that akumas are more dangerous than regular people" Felix scoffed.
"With or without Akuma, Cerise is dangerous regardless," Adrien said.
As days went by, Cerise tried and tried to ruin everything in disguise but Felix and Kagami played her game to get her away from Marinette. Every attempt Cerise makes, she constantly fails a lot. Even her akumas were failures too. Nooro tried to warn her that she'd never win. It was like going in a time loop cycle that no matter how hard Cerise tries to get her revenge on Marinette, nothing can ever work. As in risking everything and losing everything. Just like how Gabriel as Hawk Moth was in a time loop cycle of sending out akumas to claim their miraculous they fail. Another attempt does the same thing again and again. Now it's Cerise that will do exactly like her father tried.
Panthera and Blu Tembo were in Africa since they were doing college work of becoming zoologists to learn about animals. They would still come to Paris at times to visit the heroes there and aid them in fighting all new threats Chrysalis throws at them. But what will become next of the heroes of Paris and the world?
