Your opinion on Ivan/Marinette/Juleka?
To steer the question off course for just a second, I’d actually like to see more interactions among the Kitty Section members in general. I know they get along and all, but I want to see them hang out again and have more subplots.
Anyway, it’s a dynamic I’d like to see.
Your opinion on Ivan/Marinette/Kagami
Do you mean separately or as a trio?
Ivan/Mari: fine, would be more interesting to explore if Ivan had more focus as a character
Mari/Kagami: *sigh* I blame Adrien for ruining this. By which I mean, Adrien the Plot Device utilized by the writers to create “drama” and not actually the character. If you’re asking why I don’t straight up blame the writers, I’m just trying to narrow down what it is that they’re doing to create the problem: using Adrien’s character in such a way to invoke sexist writing (ie girls who like the same guy can’t really be friends). I guess they *technically* fixed it, but they could have just *not* given us that storyline in the first place but it’s too late now.
That being said, I think it would be interesting to see what would have happened if Kagami had become Marinette’s secret keeper over Alya…
Trio: I think Ivan and Kagami would be good to have around Marinette, generally speaking. While they both have personal issues, I could see them being more grounded characters that would easily back up Mari and give her the support she needed. An Ivan and Kagami friendship would be welcome because it would give both characters more to work with, writing-wise.
Marinette
--> She was made to be the Resident Representative. No questions asked.
--> Her town is laid out so that she can get quests done much quicker. Her house is probably located close to town hall, while giving herself some neighbors to not get so lonely.
--> Gets along with pretty much everyone, though isn’t as fond of Smug and Snooty personalities.
--> Spends a lot of time working on her wardrobe, designs, and customizing furniture.
Luka
--> He probably changes his town’s tune every other day. Kitty Section releases a new song? He’s going to convert part of it. Remembers an Old Jagged tune? Well, guess what his town is going to be hearing for the next 48 hours nonstop?
--> He’s not in a rush to finish his town. He doesn’t mind waiting a few days for facilities to be built, to have a proper house, or to get more people in.
--> On the other hand, getting every single K.K. Slider song? He’s jumping on that ASAP.
--> When he gets the chance to, he will be building a moat around his house.
Juleka
--> Likes playing at night, trying to capture the tarantulas.
--> She’s also likely to take inspiration from the creepypasta-esque towns she saw playing in the Dream Suite and make her island horror-themed. She’ll either track down or make her own patterns that are unsettling.
--> Her house is likely to be surrounded by cedar trees, secluding herself from the neighbors.
--> Her favorite thing to do is play hide and seek on multiplayer at night, with the seeker having to hold an axe and “kill” the people hiding. She dials it back though if Rose is playing.
Rose
--> Her house is definitely on the beach somewhere, probably close to the airport so she can visit people as much as possible.
--> The best way to describe her home decor is Instagram aesthetic. Lots of pink and white, with some yellow thrown in for good measure.
--> She has a cute outdoor area to host guests whenever they come to visit. A nice little bonfire, a hammock underneath a coconut tree, a cute little garden behind her house, she’s got it all.
--> Voted Most Likely to Time Travel. She just wants everything now, please!
Ivan
--> Plans to move his house somewhere on a cliff, so he can overlook the entire island and have his seclusion. May change his mind if he decides he likes his villagers enough.
--> Like Luka, spends a lot of time creating his town’s tune. However, he doesn’t change it as frequently, if at all.
--> Most of his time is spent hunting bugs, fish and fossils, trying to complete the museum.
--> He also spends a lot of time on gardening. Every time he cuts a tree down, he plants two more. Definitely keeps an orchard near his house.

It’s good to hear that you’re safe after what happened on Heroes’ Day. I’m sorry that you had to deal with the trauma of being akumatized again, and I hope you’re doing better. At least you have Juleka and your band to help, and surely, Ladybug has been looking out for all of you!
Speaking of which, I hope I get to hear your music soon!
Something has been bothering me though. You’ve previously mentioned a Lila Rossi, not just in your last message, but quite a while back. I don’t recall ever meeting someone by that name. You said that she was the daughter of the Italian ambassador? I’ve never met that person either. And while I certainly approve efforts to clean up and protect the environment, I’m not as involved with those initiatives as I am for work for children’s hospitals and education.
I hope that this person isn’t taking advantage of your kindness. I don’t think I could ever forgive such an act of such a person. You’re well-intentioned and genuine, and unfortunately, there are plenty of people who would take that as a weakness and try to use that for their own gains.
At the same time as her jaw drops, her phone nearly slips out of her grip. Only Juleka manages to catch it in time, her other hand reaching out for Rose’s shoulder.
“Rose? What’s wrong?”
She practically squeaks, “Emergency band meeting! Now!”
