i’m probably gonna regret asking this but. what would villain alya’s motivation even be??? there’s zero signs of her resenting marinette for anything, at least not to the point where she’d want revenge. the status quo-yo pretty much ensures there’s no chance of a big event like alya’s family getting killed in the crossfire that would typically make someone resent a hero. so why would she be evil? does she have some wish to make that she’d want to get the miraculous for herself? does she invite hawkmoth for an interview and after a long chat start to think he has some good points? it just doesn’t make any sense. alya wouldn’t even work for him when he threatened her family.
the only reason i could think of would be her discovering hawkmoth’s identity and helping him for adrien’s sake, which… still doesn’t make very much sense, considering she could just… tell marinette, who is way more invested in adrien than alya is anyway?
Alya is very obviously being prepped to be the new guardian. She is there the second Marinette loses her memory! Ready to cry and take charge even in that moment.
Now a amnesiac Marinette? I could see Gabriel taking her under his wing (with him knowing who she was) and grooming her and her joining him without realizing. I would HATE that, but it makes more sense.
Or sentimonster Adrien gets rewritten or mindcontrolled a bit so he can have his evil Endymion arc? I ALSO hate that, but it makes more sense narratively. (I probably like it better than an amnesiac Marinette gets manipulated though).
Luka!! He’s so passive and supportive so it seems unlikely to me, but his knowing who ladybug and chat noir both are could set him up to be a super compentent villain. And it makes no sense, but it makes MORE sense than ALYA!
