Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (2024)

is an incredibly popular cartoon for viewers of all ages, including a pretty sizable adult fanbase that recognizes the show's shortcomings and adores it regardless. While Miraculous certainly tries to cater to its primary demographic, the showrunners are also aware of who their main audience is. Many of the series' characters are surprisingly complex irrespective of their age, as both the teenagers and adults deal with their own issues and shortcomings.

All the main Miraculous characters get their moments to shine. Despite the title, the series doesn't focus exclusively on the protagonist and her feline sidekick. The entire main cast has its fair share of fans, and with five seasons the show has had plenty of time to dive into its characters and show their growth. As the characters have aged since the first episode it can sometimes be difficult to pin down an age for them, especially the characters that seem timeless, but Miraculous has provided enough information here and there to allow eagle-eyed viewers to fill in the blanks.

Updated on October 6th, 2024 by Lauren Younkin: This list has been updated to include additional characters, as well as comply with CBR's current formatting standards.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng Is the Ever-Optimistic Protagonist

13 in Season 1, 14 in Seasons 2-5

Marinette Dupain-Cheng is Miraculous Ladybug's primary hero. She can fall prey to her social anxiety while in her civilian form but finds her confidence when she dons her Ladybug persona. Marinette is quick-witted, creative, and intelligent, able to devise incredibly innovative ways to save the day while acting as Ladybug. On a personal level, Marinette wants nothing more than to create her own fashion brand.

Debut

Season 1, Episode 1 "Stormy Weather"

Cristina Vee

Ladybug

Despite all of that, Marinette is a teenager and sometimes does not make the best decisions. When Miraculous first begins, Marinette is a 13-year-old girl. Sometime during Season 2 of the series, she turns 14, which is also how old she remains in Season 5. The show typically follows a villain-of-the-week format and was less serialized in the early seasons, so fans often grew frustrated when Marinette would learn a lesson in one episode and seemingly forget about it in the next. In later seasons, however, Marinette goes through significant moments of character growth as she continues to adapt to her increasing responsibilities. As of now, she leads the French Miraculous team of superheroes after having taken over as the Guardian of the Miraculous from Master Fu.

Tikki Has Been Around Since the Dawn of the Universe Itself

Around 13.77 Billion Years Old

Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (1)

Tikki looks like an adorable little companion, so it's easy to forget the depth of wisdom and experience she holds. It is estimated that Tikki is over 13 billion years old because, according to Tikki's history, she has lived since the dawn of the universe itself. This means she is most likely some kind of cosmic entity with potentially limitless powers. As the kwami of creation, she is already the most powerful Miraculous even with Marinette's limited training.

Debut

Season 1, Episode 1 "Stormy Weather"

Her kwami siblings came into existence not long after, and they spent a long time traveling the universe before eventually stumbling upon Earth. For over 5,000 years, Tikki helped people transform into superheroes to help save the world, but she didn't find the first true Ladybug Miraculous holder until much later. Tikki's age is so vast that even as time passes throughout the show's seasons, it will be but a drop in the ocean of her life. Her incredibly rich history gives the show unique opportunities to expand on its lore and dive into the past.

Adrien Agreste Is Ladybug's Right-Hand Cat

13 in "Origins," 14 From Season 1 Onward

Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (2)

Adrien Agreste is Ladybug's partner in crime, always ready to drop everything to help her as often as she requires. He revels in the freedom allowed by his secretive Cat Noir persona, as he grew up in a sheltered and very constricting environment. Adrien struggles under the weight of meeting his father's lofty expectations, especially since he works as a model for the Gabriel Agreste brand.

Debut

Alias

Season 1, Episode 1 "Stormy Weather"

Bryce Papenbrook

Cat Noir

In the "Origins" episodes set just before the start of Miraculous, Adrien is 13 years old, and from Season 1 onward he has been 14. As a result of being homeschooled all his life, Adrien has never had the opportunity to grow up as a normal kid and therefore experiences several things for the first time once he starts going to school with Marinette and their friends. This means that Adrien is naive in most social situations, with people often trying to take advantage of him for his wealth and fame. It is eventually revealed later in the series that he is actually a hybrid between a sentimonster and a human, something which has no doubt affected his growth throughout his life.

Everything We Know About Miraculous Ladybug Season 6

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir Season 6 is on the way later this year. But what exactly has been confirmed ahead of the premiere?

1

Plagg Has Been Responsible for Numerous Global Apocalypses

Around 13.7 Billion Years Old

Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (4)

Although Plagg's exact age is unknown, he was likely born at the same time as Tikki during the creation of the universe. At the very least, it is known that he was around 66 million years ago since he was the one responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. As the kwami of destruction, Plagg's powers are the inverse of Tikki's, and together they maintain balance in the universe.

Debut

Before Plagg got an owner, he was actually responsible for numerous apocalypses in the Miraculous universe. These include the sinking of Atlantis as well as several other cataclysms throughout human history. He doesn't intentionally mean to do damage, however — the kwamis are simply unable to control their powers if they don't have an owner to keep them in check. Plagg and Adrien create their own balance between the two of them, as Plagg often encourages Adrien to cut loose and pursue his freedom, while Adrien keeps Plagg's more destructive tendencies at bay.

Gabriel Agreste Was the Show's Overarching Villain Until Season 5

Most Likely in His 40s

Despite being Adrien's father, Gabriel Agreste has also been the series' overarching villain, Hawk Moth. With his kwami Nooroo, Gabriel uses the power of the Butterfly Miraculous to akumatize the citizens of Paris in an effort to obtain the Miraculous of Ladybug and Cat Noir. His ultimate goal is to use them to bring back his wife, Emilie, who lies in stasis in a glass case beneath their mansion.

Debut

English Voice Actor

Alias

Season 1, Episode 1 "Stormy Weather"

Keith Silverstein

Hawk Moth

Gabriel's age is never clearly stated in the show. However, it is possible to infer his age based on the events in Miraculous Ladybug leading up to his death in Season 5. When Chloé's mother meets Gabriel, he is a brilliant young prodigy just out of college; this is also around the time he meets his wife. Given this timeline, Gabriel would've had Adrien when he was in his 20s, putting him in his 40s around the time of the show. However, he appears much older in episodes where his hair is silvery-gray rather than light blond, so fans can't be properly sure of Gabriel's actual age.

Alya Césaire Is Known as the Sneaky Fox

Between 13 and 15 Years Old Throughout the Series

Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (5)

Also known as the Sneaky Fox and the Master of Illusion, Alya comes off as being slightly more mature than both Marinette and Adrien, even if she can get a bit too obdurate on occasion. Alya demonstrates her maturity with how she handles children, how well she navigates her relationship with Nino, and how Alya tries to give Marinette sensible advice regarding her crush on Adrien.

Debut

English Voice Actor

Alias

Season 1, Episode 1 "Stormy Weather"

Carrie Keranen

Rena Rouge

Alya is around 15 years old as of Season 5, making her older than Adrien and Marinette. She has an air of responsibility that reflects this, something which saves Marinette's skin time and time again. Alya is the first person Marinette trusts with her secret identity as Ladybug, and on one occasion she even trusts Alya with the Ladybug Miraculous. These actions were directly against Master Fu's orders to Marinette, so it goes to show just how much faith Marinette places in Alya as a dependable friend.

Marinette and Adrien are in love but don't know it. The secret that keeps them apart is almost revealed on several occasions in Miraculous Ladybug.

Nino Lahiffe Is One of the Nicest Characters In the Series

Around 13 – 15 Years Old

Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (7)

Nino Lahiffe begins Miraculous Ladybug at the age of 13, but he's currently 15 years old as of Season 5. He's easily one of the most amicable characters in the series, quickly empathizing with the people he cares about and sticking by Adrien as his best friend. A firm believer in justice, Nino can't stand the idea of imbalance in any sense of the word. As a result of his compassionate nature, Nino tends to be rather trustworthy and courageous.

Debut

English Voice Actor

Alias

Season 1, Episode 2 "The Evillustrator"

Ben Diskin & Zeno Robinson

Carapace

Nino has also saved or helped save his friends on numerous occasions, making him well-suited to be the wielder of the Turtle Miraculous which prizes protection. This is largely because he is a team player, happy to do whatever his friends need of him, and lacking a desire for power that would make him a risk. Although his chill and laid-back attitude means that he isn't as mature as some of his friends, he has a good partner in Alya who is responsible enough for both of them.

Luka & Juleka Couffaine Are Radically Different From Each Other

15 Years Old in Seasons 1-3; 16 Years Old Currently

Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (8)

The twins Luka and Juleka Couffaine are both major players in Miraculous Ladybug, although the brother is technically introduced a whole season later than the sister. Luka is a peace-loving and private individual, although this doesn't mean he'll let people push him around. Much like Nino, Luka can easily identify another person's feelings. His relationship with Juleka is one of the highlights of Miraculous.

Luka

Purple Tigress

For her part, Juleka is considerably more shy and apprehensive than her relatively outgoing brother. As such, she initially believes that she's invisible to pretty much everyone else. However, Juleka soon realizes that she has dear friends whom she desperately wants to protect. When she becomes Purple Tigress, there are very few opponents who can stand in her way. Both Juleka and Luka demonstrate this kind of personal growth throughout the series and also physically grow as they transition from 15 to 16 years old.

Kagami Tsurugi Fights With Ferocity Befitting a Dragon

14 Years Old in Seasons 2 and 3; 15 Years Old Currently

Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (9)

The Dragon Miraculous is naturally powerful, but it is the wielder's inner strength that matters more. Kagami Tsurugi is a fencing master, developing a small but fascinating rivalry with Adrien. As she refuses to back down from a fight, Kagami often takes more risks than are necessary. She even tends to jump to conclusions based on very little evidence, but her zealously ambitious nature ensures that she always finds a way to win a real fight.

Debut

English Voice Actor

Alias

Season 2, Episode 7 "Riposte"

Faye Mata

Ryuko

Kagami has been 15 years old since Season 4, around the same age as most of her peers. But much like Adrien, Kagami is under substantial pressure from the weight of her mother's expectations and acts older than most of the teenagers around her as a result. Characters who bluntly speak their mind might find themselves without friends, but Kagami has been folded into Marinette's core group despite her inability to express her emotions properly. Through them, she has slowly been able to open up and let out her inner child a little bit at a time.

Chloé Bourgeois Can't Break Free of Her Antagonism

13 – 15 Years Old Like Her Classmates

Chloé Bourgeois is a bit of a complicated character due to how poorly Miraculous Ladybug handles her development. She starts as an antagonist who does her best to get under Marinette's skin, playing into the "mean girl" archetype. To put it mildly, she comes across as demanding, arrogant, and condescending, making her one of the least-liked characters in the series.

Debut

English Voice Actor

Alias

Season 1, Episode 2 "The Evillustrator"

Selah Victor

Queen Bee

The show teases redemption for Chloé at certain moments, but ultimately she transforms into an antihero before returning to her villainous roots for Seasons 4 and 5. Like many of her fellow classmates, Chloé is currently 15 years old as of Season 5 of Miraculous, but she acts far less mature than them. Many fans hope that with time, the show will eventually be able to do her character justice with a proper journey of growth.

Félix Fathom Is Now More of an Antihero Than a Villain

Probably Around 14, Like Adrien

Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (10)

Though he was introduced into the series as an antagonist, Félix eventually sheds his villainous past and becomes more of an antihero, making him one of the more complex characters in Miraculous Ladybug. As Adrien Agreste's cousin, it appears that even Félix is a human-sentimonster hybrid. The only difference is that Adrien was created from his mother's love, while Félix was formed from his father's jealousy. However, this difference is made more visible through the scope of their respective character arcs.

Debut

English Voice Actor

Alias

Season 3, Episode 23 "Félix"

Bryce Papenbrook

Argos

When they were younger, Félix and Adrien used to pretend that they were twins, meaning that Félix is likely around the same age as Adrien. They eventually grew to have rather stark personality differences, however. Félix is a rather troublesome boy; his cousin even remarks that he doesn't "have a lot of friends" because he misbehaves constantly. But he has a select few people that he cares about, and he is expanding that to more and more people every day. Félix is currently a member of the French Miraculous superhero team, which will hopefully put him on the right track for a better path in life.

Nathalie Sancoeur Works for Gabriel and Helps Raise Adrien

Estimated To Be In Her 30s

Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (12)

Similar to Gabriel Agreste, Nathalie doesn't have an official age anywhere within the Miraculous Ladybug canon. Nathalie works for Gabriel as his assistant and contributes to raising Adrien, becoming somewhat of a mother figure to him in Emilie's absence. While she generally comes off as aloof and apathetic, Nathalie has an emotional relationship with her boss that verges on problematic. In fact, she's actually quite careful with her feelings except for when it comes to Gabriel, one of her only emotional weaknesses.

Debut

English Voice Actor

Alias

Season 1, Episode 6 "Mr. Pigeon"

Sabrina Weisz

Mayura

What is known is that Nathalie is supposed to be younger than Gabriel. In her past, she used to be an adventurer who went on expeditions with both Gabriel and Emilie, including the one during which they found the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculous. Assuming that Gabriel is in his 40s during the show, it makes sense that Nathalie would be in her 30s. Unfortunately, the illness that she suffered from using the broken Peacock Miraculous is likely to have aged her somewhat.

Master Fu Has Acquired His Wisdom Over Many Years

186 Years Old

Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (13)

Once the Guardian of the Miraculous, Master Fu was the person who gave Marinette and Adrien their Miraculouses so that they could be Ladybug and Cat Noir. His past actions are directly responsible for the current situation with the Miraculouses, as he created a sentimonster that led to the destruction of the Guardian Temple and lost the Peacock and Butterfly Miraculouses in the process.

Debut

English Voice Actor

Alias

Season 1, Episode 22 "Princess Fragrance"

Paul St. Peter

Jade Turtle

Master Fu claimed to be 186 years old, and his history with the Order of the Guardians seems to corroborate this. He was on the run for much of his life trying to protect the Miracle Box and keep it from falling into the wrong hands. Master Fu finally finds a suitable successor in Marinette, however, and at the end of Season 3, he loses his memories as a result of handing the Miracle Box over to her. Though his wisdom and level-headed nature are missed on the show, he is no doubt much happier now that he gets to start his life anew free of his mistakes.

Lila Rossi Continues To Be an Enigma

Somewhere Between the Ages of 13 – 15

Every Main Character's Age In Miraculous Ladybug (14)

Lila Rossi, which most likely isn't even her real name, is a girl with many identities. As a pathological liar, it can be hard to determine what, if anything, is real about her. However, with her being enrolled in school alongside Marinette and Adrien, it's safe to assume that she likely falls between the range of 13 – 15 years old like the other students.

Debut

English Voice Actor

Alias

Season 1, Episode 24 "Volpina"

Lisa Kay Jennings

Cerise Bianca

Lila has played the role of a minor antagonist throughout the show, but with the downfall of Gabriel as the primary villain, she is set up to be his successor. She has proven to be extremely cunning, playing multiple sides against each other as a means to get what she wants. With this in mind, Lila may turn out to be more threatening as a villain than Gabriel ever was, especially given that many fans have noticed over the years how ineffectual he was as Hawk Moth. In Season 5, she lets go of the Lila Rossi persona and assumes the name Cerise Bianca, so there will likely be many new things to come from her in future seasons.

Alix Kubdel Has a Totally OP Skill

14 in "Origins," 15 From Season 1 Onward

Debut

English Voice Actor

Alias

Season 1, Episode 5 "Timebreaker"

Kira Buckland

Bunnyx

Though Alix may not appear as frequently as some of the other Miraculous characters, these appearances are almost always very impactful due to the nature of her Miraculous. She can transform into Bunnyx with her Miraculous and jump both backward and forward in time. This means she is often present at critical moments of the plot when serious decisions have the possibility of causing major consequences.

Related

Every Miraculous In Miraculous Ladybug, Ranked By Power

The magical Miraculous gems in Miraculous Ladybug each have their own corresponding power, though some are much more powerful than others.

Alix's unique Miraculous means that the audience gets to see her at more than one stage in her life, as she typically appears as her adult self when transformed into Bunnyx. While it is unknown how old Alix is as Bunnyx, present-day Alix is around 15 years old. In her introduction in the episode "Timebreaker," Alix is given a stopwatch by her father on her birthday, which seems to indicate that she was always meant to become a time-traveler. With future seasons of Miraculous on the horizon, perhaps the Rabbit Miraculous will allow for the opportunity to see more versions of Alix or possibly even other characters.
