Zoé Lee is a supporting character in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. She is a teenage girl from New York City and a student in Ms. Mendeleiev's class at Collège Françoise Dupont. She is also Chloé Bourgeois's younger half-sister and André Bourgeois's stepdaughter. She attended a boarding school when she was in New York, where she once lived with her mother. In order to leave said boarding school she told her mother that there were rats in her locker because the place was not luxurious enough, hiding the fact that it was actually because her classmates bullied her. When she moved to Paris she tried to fit in by hiding her true self and following Chloé's orders, bullying Marinette and her friends. This made her uncomfortable, so she stopped hiding her true self and confronted her sister.
Some time later, Zoé received the Bee Miraculous from Ladybug to defeat Chloé as "Queen Banana" with her. Now being the new carrier of the Bee Miraculous. After befriending Marinette Dupain-Cheng, she proceeds to have a crush on her during Season 5.
Appearance[]
Zoé is a slender teenage girl and has wheat-golden hair with significantly shorter bangs and hot pink dyed strands on the left side, the ends reaching her shoulders and upper back. Her eyes are a vivid shade of azure (similar to Marinette Dupain-Cheng's form as Ladybug) and her eyebrows are honey-colored. She has peach skin tone, coral lips, and a dusting of light freckles over the bridge of her nose and cheeks. In "Sole Crusher", Zoé gets a pink streak dyed into her hair by Rose Lavillant and Juleka Couffaine.
Civilian attire She wears a black faux leather jacket, a white top with a pink, cyan and yellow honeycomb flower on the front, and yellow pants and a orange belt with yellow pockets and a black part. On her feet, her shoes have white shoelaces, toe caps and soles. The sides of her shoes are decorated with blue, lime-green and pink heart and star patterns with black outlines. There's a moderate apple green crown on the left side of her left shoe and a white skull on the left side of her right shoe. The midsole of the shoes seem to be decorated with different drawings that appeared to be drawn with a black permanent marker. The left shoe has a red heart drawn on the toe cap that reads "I ♡︎U". At the end of "Sole Crusher", her shoes get more drawings from her new friends. On her left wrist, she also wears a two blue beaded brown bracelets and red and yellow pattern wide white bracelet with black lining on each and a luminous vivid opal-colored beanie on her head.
Personality[]
Completely different from Chloé, Zoé is a very sweet girl who can be very caring and nice to anyone that crosses her way, being even able to make friends with someone she has just met, like Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She is also very forgiving, showing this in "Sole Crusher", after Marinette trips and falls on her. Zoé is also very generous as she gave to the taxi driver that took her to Le Grand Paris the baking goods that Marinette gave her, after hearing from her how her children love them. She is also shown to be creative, shown to dye her hair and customize her own shoes.
Her greatest dream is to become an actress as she is very skilled at doing so. However, because she was constantly acting a role, much like Lila Rossi and her lies, Zoé ended up concealing her true self and, when she was not able to do it anymore, she ended up having no friends back in New York. After moving to Paris to live with her maternal family, she pretends to be like her mother and half-sister in order to please them and be accepted by them. She also wants to fit in, which is why she is always acting. After being deakumatized, she learned that the way she was acting was wrong and decided to finally stop hiding her true self.
In "Queen Banana", at first she was hesitant in taking the Bee Miraculous knowing how Chloé would react, but Ladybug reassures her that unlike Chloé, she'll keep her identity a secret.
In "Optigami", she is instinctively protective of anyone as she wanted to pull Chloé down before Style Queen hit her
Sexuality[]
Zoe's sexuality has not yet been confirmed on the show, but was confirmed to be attracted to women in the episode "Adoration", where it's revealed that she has a crush on Marinette. Zoé's attraction to women was also hinted at in "Transmission (The Kwamis' Choice – Part 1)" (S05E10) where she says "well, not yet.." after Alya transformed into Scarabella, affirms that she and Zoé, as Kitty Noire, are not in a relationship.
Reaction[]
- This section is about fan reaction to the characters sexuality/gender identity. NOT THE IN UNIVERSE REACTION. In universe reactions would belong under sexuality/gender.
People in the fandom were accepting of her sexuality, but people got mad since they believe that her and Marinette had more chemistry than the actual partner of Marinette, Adrien.
