Chloé Bourgeois (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir)

Chloe Bourgeois is a major antagonist in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. She is Marinette Dupain-Cheng's rival and a student in Miss Bustier's class at Collège Françoise Dupont.

She is voiced by Selah Victor in the English dub.



Bad Qualities

 * 1) She is just another one of those clichéd "mean girl" characters.
 * 2) She thinks she can do anything she wants just because she's the mayor's daughter.
 * 3) She has the same crush on Adrien Agreste that Marinette has, but she's willing to hurt people to get close to him.
 * 4) She officially crossed the line when she locked Juleka in a bathroom cell so she get close to him in a school photo, resulting in her akumation,
 * 5) Speaking of which, she responsible for about half of Paris' akumations as well (Timebreaker, Lady Wifi, Evillustrator, Dark Cupid, Horrificator, Kung Food, Vanisher, Reflekta, Princess Fragrance, Frightingale, Despair Bear, Zombizou, Stormy Weather (in the sequel episode), Animaestro (to an extent), Miraculer, and even her own father, Malediktator.)
 * 6) She's a coward!
 * 7) She's isn't an evil antagonist, which makes her even more unlikable. At least Hawk Moth takes his job seriously and has a more tragic and clear reason of why he's doing what he does.
 * 8) She went full racist in the episode "Kung Food".
 * 9) She worships Ladybug, almost never knowing when to back off when Ladybug is taking something seriously.
 * 10) She is incredibly irresponsible when she first got her hands on the Bee Miraculous. She not only deliberately openly transformed in public, but she also put lives in danger only to try and save them, and even refused to give the Miraculous back to Ladybug. She even got akumatized while she was Queen Bee. And while all of this was done to impress her mother, she went about it the completely wrong way.
 * 11) She's been torturing Marinette by being in her class for 4 years- in a row- no joke!
 * 12) She is extremely egotistic and ungrateful. She completely lets her helpfulness go to her ahead after she helped Ladybug defeat Despair Bear, stating that she could have stopped Stormy Weather's almost world-ending attack much faster than Ladybug, and also calls the director of the Ladybug and Cat Noir movie lame for not including Queen Bee.
 * 13) Especially in Season 1, her character solely exists just to be hated, especially since the show constantly states how "evil" she is, another case of telling more than showing.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Usually she gets a taste of her own medicine whether it's from akumatized citizens, or Marinette and Adrien.
 * 2) She did state that she will try to change her ways when her teacher got akumatised, showing that she is not completely heartless.
 * 3) She is the first Alpha Bitch character to get some character development, and started becoming a nicer person. This is mostly shown when she apologized for her actions in Queen Wasp and even helped Ladybug defeat Malediktator as Queen Bee. Although, most of her character development is thrown away in Season 3, causing another akumatization which put not only Paris but the whole planet in danger.
 * 4) The Bee Miraculous suits her very well, even fitting her usual outfit and her character, with her superhero name literally being "Queen Bee", named after the main trope she's based on.
 * 5) This is further displayed in "Miraculer", where her experience as Queen Bee give the strength and confidence she needed to do the impossible and reject an akuma!
 * 6) She has a beautiful design.
 * 7) She has a lot of self confidence, something that is rare and refreshing in major characters as opposed to the shy introvert trope.
 * 8) Her mother disappeared when she was at a young age, which makes her more sympathetic and may explain her behavior.
 * 9) In "Antibug", she had a right to be angry because Ladybug did not listen to her when she said the akuma was in Sabrina's pin.
 * 10) At least she's not as bad as Lila Rossi, or her mother Audrey Bourgeois.
 * 11) In Lila's case, while Chloe does torment Marinette and other characters, Lila seems determined on destroying Marinette's social status and having Adrien to herself, even holding resentment against Ladybug who saved her twice.
 * 12) Audrey does not seem to pay much attention to her daughter, even forgetting her name multiple times. She even turned Chloe into a gold statue when akumatised and they only really bonded over badly treating the servant.
