maturing is realizing that the creator of miraculous ladybug didn't make marinette whitepassing to provide representation for mixed people who look "whiter"
they did it because of racism馃拃
in these pictures you can see her early designs, she even had tanner skin
the process was gradual. slowly but surely they made her more and more white passing and even whitewashed the environment around her. the house she was in had more chinese influence, she lived in a district of paris known to be ethnically diverse and art influenced
the issue isn't her not being "asian enough". the issue is that those decisions to make her less asian were made by WHITE MEN.

Marinette from my AU! This AUS going through a L O T of changes, especially to fit the vibes more of the early concept art! I'd like to make her have a lot more fun with fashion; like playing around with looks from different eras and decades, different colors, and styles! 鉂わ笍
