What Powers Might Some Of The Miraculouses From The Native American Miracle Box Have?

Ok. Here I’ll be going over my thoughts on what powers some of the Miraculouses from the Native American Miracle Box might have based on the design of the Native American Miracle Box, animals the Miraculouses are themed on and the symbolism behind said animals. Keep in mind, though, that I’m no expert on animal symbolism or actual animals. So, be sure to take what I have to say here with a grain of salt. Also, I’ll only be going over the Miraculouses that are on the top level of the Native American Miracle Box because they appear to be the most important Miraculouses in the Native American Miracle Box. This post was also inspired by @familyagrestefanblog’s MI analysis: Native American miracle box post. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.

First off, I’ll be explaining how I’ll be using the design of the Native American Miracle Box to help determine what powers its Miraculouses might have. @familyagrestefanblog used the Medicine Wheel among other things to determine the symbolism behind the Native American Miracle Box, particularly the top level. So, I think I’ll be using some of the same things he used. Now, after going over the Medicine Wheel and @familyagrestefanblog’s own notes on their Ml analysis: Native American miracle box post, I’m starting to think that the powers of all the Miraculouses positioned on the Native American Miracle Box’s top level have powers that have to do with a living thing’s energy and by extension their health in some way shape or form. I think that each of the 4 Miraculouses on the 4 quadrants around the center have a power that has to do with giving, holding, receiving and determining energy respectively. And I think Miraculous in the center has a power that has to do with a living thing’s energy in general. However, I think it should be noted that just because I’m using parts of each of the 4 quadrants to help determine the powers of the Miraculouses in the Native American Miracle Box doesn’t mean I’m gonna assign each of the 4 Miraculouses on the 4 quadrants on the Native American Miracle Box’s top level to one element on the Medicine Wheel. This is because I think the Medicine Wheel is strictly just a metaphor when it comes to helping to determine the powers of the Native American Miracle Box’s Miraculouses. I think this because of the Chinese Miracle Box’s design and the powers of the Miraculouses in the Chinese Miracle Box.

In the Chinese Miracle Box, the way the 5 quadrants around the yin-yang center are designed is, according to the YouTuber Cartoon Universe on her The Miracle Box EXPLAINED - Miraculous Ladybug Analysis video, based off of the Five Elements from ancient Chinese cosmology. And according to ancient Chinese cosmology, the Five Elements are listed as Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Wood, fire, earth, metal and water are literal elements. And the Fox Miraculous’s power to create illusions, the Turtle Miraculous’s power to create protective barriers, the Bee Miraculous’s power to paralyze people, the Peacock Miraculous’s power to create creatures from emotions and the Butterfly Miraculous’s power to change people into superpowered versions of themselves are definitely not powers based off of literal elements. So, that tells me that the powers of the Miraculouses on the 5 quadrants of the top level of the Chinese Miracle Box are probably based off of the Five Elements in a less literal way. The powers of those Miraculouses don’t correspond to the elements represented by the Five Elements but they do correspond to the elements of something else. And since, according to Miraculous Adventures #2, Tikki was the first Kwami to come into existence and Tikki’s Miraculous is in the center of the Chinese Miracle Box along with Plagg’s, that means that the Fox Miraculous’s Kwami Trixx, the Turtle Miraculous’s Kwami Wayzz, the Bee Miraculous’s Kwami Pollen, the Peacock Miraculous’s Kwami Duusu and the Butterfly Miraculous’s Kwami Nooroo are some of the first Kwamis, creatures that are born when an abstract concept first comes into existence, to come into existence. To help put things into perspective, since Tikki was born from the abstract concept of creation and Plagg was born from the abstract concept of destruction, Tikki and Plagg were probably born during the Big Bang with the abstract concept of creation that created Tikki emerging when the light that went on to burst into the Big Bang explosion came into existence and the abstract concept of destruction that created Plagg coming into existence right when the Big Bang explosion occurred. So, that probably means that the powers of their 5 Miraculouses correspond to 5 “elements” that came into existence after the Big Bang explosion that represent the fundamental nature of the cosmos more than any other. What I mean by “elements” here is that since the technical definition for the word “element” is ‘a part or aspect of something abstract, especially one that is essential or characteristic’, that means that the “5 elements” those 5 Miraculous’s powers correspond to could be things that represent the fundamental nature of the cosmos itself. I think that in this case, the Fox Miraculous’s power to make illusions corresponds to the Big Bang explosion’s energy that went on to form the cosmos because I think that the science hypothesis that said that “everything is energy” corresponds really well with the theory that “reality is an illusion” since if everything is energy, then everything is the same thing. Therefore, at the most fundamental level, there’s no different galaxies, no different planets, no different atoms, no different colors, not even any different things. So, the Fox Miraculous’s power to create illusions corresponds to the illusory aspect of the cosmos’ fundamental nature. Side Note: This doesn’t mean that existence and by extension life are meaningless. We give existence and by extension life meaning by making our effect on the energy that animates us. After all, literally every time we move, we convert the potential energy within us into kinetic energy. We give existence and by extension life meaning. We can’t just wait for existence to do it for us.]

Anyway, I think that the Turtle Miraculous’s power to create protective barriers corresponds to the cosmos’ duality, which first came into existence when the energy from the Big Bang’s explosion started making different movements to form the cosmos, because protective barriers are technically about separating something from something else and duality is all about there being multiple different things and thus separation between them. So, the Turtle Miraculous’s power to create protective barriers corresponds to the duality aspect of the cosmos’ fundamental nature.

Also, I think that the Bee Miraculous’s power to paralyze a person and thus freeze them in place corresponds to the moment. What I mean by the moment is each moment for the cosmos as a whole. I got this idea from how meditation practices sometimes emphasizes focusing on the present moment rather than the past or future in order to help attain enlightenment. And for each one of those moments, the entire cosmos is frozen in place and stuck in one motion until the next moment comes. It’s just like how the Bee Miraculous’s power freezes someone in place and make it so that they’re stuck in one motion. So, the Bee Miraculous’s power to freeze someone in place corresponds to the “the moment” aspect of the cosmos’ fundamental nature.

Next, I think that the Peacock Miraculous’s power to form a person’s emotions into a magical creature called a sentimonster corresponds to the cosmos’ form that first came into existence when the cosmos finally formed. Picture the person’s emotions that are being used to form a sentimonster as the Big Bang explosion’s energy that formed the cosmos and the sentimonster as the cosmos that was formed. Just like how the Big Bang explosion’s energy molded into the cosmos, the person’s emotions got molded into the sentimonster. So, the Peacock Miraculous’s power to form a person’s emotions into a sentimonster corresponds to the form aspect of the cosmos’ fundamental nature.

Finally, I think that the Butterfly Miraculous’s power to change someone from a normal person to a superpowered hero or villain corresponds to the cosmos’ changes ever since it was first formed. Picture nebula gas as a normal person and a star as a superpowered hero or villain. Just like how nebula gas eventually goes through a change and becomes a star, the Butterfly Miraculous’s power causes a normal person to go through a change and become a superpowered hero or villain. So, the Butterfly Miraculous’s power to change someone from a normal person into a superpowered hero or villain corresponds to the change aspect of the cosmos’ fundamental nature. [Side Note: I know the Butterfly Miraculous also has the ability to sense the thoughts and emotions of anyone in range. But when you really think about it, change can apply to that too. The type of change for that would be the fundamental type of change that exists between creation and destruction. Change is the middle point between creation and destruction because in order for a block of ice to be changed into water, the block of ice has to be melted and thus destroyed first. Once the ice is melted, it’s changed into water. The change happens between the destruction of the ice and the creation of the water. And in the meantime between after the ice is destroyed and before the water is created, there’s practically nothing there. It’s just nothingness. So, the nothingness is where change is stationed. So, the Butterfly Miraculous probably has an effect on the wielder’s body and mind that allows the wielder to have a bird’s eye view from the perverbial nothingness that allows them to sense the thoughts and emotions of anyone in range.]

In conclusion, how the powers of the Miraculouses on the 5 quadrants of the Chinese Miracle Box as well as the powers of the Miraculouses on the 4 quadrants of the Native American Miracle Box should be judged based on the designs of the quadrants should be from a metaphorical viewpoint. With all that out of the way, I’m gonna finally start listing my theories on the powers of the Miraculouses from the Native American Miracle Box based on how the proposed power matches up with the concepts of giving, holding, receiving, determining energy respectively as well as the symbolism and real life behavior and attributes of the animal of each Miraculous. I’ll be listing how the Eagle Miraculouses matches up with the concepts just to help the process of elimination.

The Eagle Miraculous’s power is, as shown in the Miraculous New York TV special, is the ability to free someone from any mental and/or emotional constraints. I think that matches up with the concept of giving energy because granting and thus giving someone freedom from their mental and/or emotional constraints is practically giving them more energy than their mental and/or emotional constraints usually allow.

This time, I’ll be going over what power the Buffalo Miraculous might have. I think the Buffalo Miraculous’s power is the ability to keep a person alive despite their injuries. This would be a nod to how buffalos are very strong and can keep on moving while pulling enormous weight. I think the power corresponds to the concept of holding energy. After all, keeping someone alive despite their injuries is keeping their energy within them and preventing it from expiring. [Side Note: Since the proposed Buffalo Miraculous power here has to do with making it so someone is able to persevere, the activation phrase is probably something around the lines of {Kwami’s Name} Persevere while the deactivation phrase is probably something around the lines of {Kwami’s Name} Give Up.]

Next, I’m gonna go over what power the Bear Miraculous might have. I think the Bear Miraculous’s power would be the ability to put people to sleep. It would be a nod to how bears sleep in hibernation. I think the power corresponds to the concept of receiving energy. After all, sleeping is all about rejuvenating your energy. [Side Note: Given that the proposed Bear Miraculous power here is all about sleep, the activation phrase for the Bear Miraculous is probably something around the lines of {Kwami’s Name} Wake Up or {Kwami’s Name} Awaken while the deactivation phrase is probably something around the lines of {Kwami’s Name} Sleep In.]

Now, I’m gonna go over what power the Wolf Miraculous might have. This one wasn’t really my idea. A DeviantArt and Tumblr user called @jess-the-vampire made a post on both DeviantArt and Tumblr about her own fan-made version of the Wolf Miraculous. On it, she said that her version of the Wolf Miraculous would have the power to summon others. And after taking into account how actual wolves sometimes howl to send a signal to other wolves, I think this fits. Also, I think the power corresponds to the concept of determining energy because accepting help makes it so that help determines whether or not your own life and by extension your own energy are saved. [Side Note: Since one of the things the Wolf Miraculous’s power corresponds to is a wolf’s howl, the activation phrase for the Wolf Miraculous is probably something around the lines of {Kwami’s Name} Howl while the deactivation phrase is probably something around the lines of {Kwami’s Name} Quiet Down.]

Finally, I’m gonna go over what power the Thunderbird Miraculous might have. As @familyagrestefanblog pointed out in their Ml analysis: Native American miracle box post, the thunderbird “is a mythological bird and is associated with legends starting from controlling the storms, lightnings and thunder to being the protector of the humans and even being a helper of the creation of reality”. It was the part about being a helper of the creation of reality that got me the most intrigued. Another part I focused a lot on was the part about controlling the storms, lightnings and thunder. When combining those 2 ideas in this particular context, it probably means that the power of the Thunderbird Miraculous has something to do with a key aspect of the cosmos as a whole that’s about the weather in some way. One pattern with the powers of the Eagle Miraculous, the Buffalo Miraculous, the Bear Miraculous and the Wolf Miraculous that I listed so far is that they all are powers meant specifically to affect people. And since the Thunder Miraculous is in the center between the 4 quadrants on the Native American Miracle Box, the Thunderbird Miraculous probably has a power that also has to do with an underlying phenomenon that affects people. And I think that the underlying phenomenon that the Thunderbird Miraculous’s power has to do with here is nature, the thing that dictates the course of the seasons, the evolution of life, the weather and everything that’s natural in the cosmos. So, the power of the Thunderbird Miraculous is probably the ability to manipulate nature. What I mean by manipulating nature is controlling anything that’s natural such as plants, the weather, etc. But it has to be something that’s natural. So, the Thunderbird Miraculous’s power can’t control a machine which is something that’s artificial and thus unnatural. The Thunderbird Miraculous won’t be able to control something like a magic blast since magic is supernatural and the supernatural is beyond the natural. [Side Note: Since the proposed Thunderbird Miraculous power here is all about nature itself and nature is sometimes about purity, the activation phrase for the Thunderbird Miraculous is probably something around the lines of {Kwami’s Name} Be Pure while the deactivation phrase is probably something around the lines of {Kwami’s Name} Be Impure.]

Well, that’s all for this post.

See you all next time.
