She’s a snake with a snarky streak! Welcome Staci to the line up! @artzychic27 @imsparky2002

Species: Naga

Appearance/Attire: Chin-length, choppy red hair, olive skin with a slight green tint, pointed ears, forked tongue, green scales on forehead and all down arms, yellow eyes with slitted pupils, lower body is a snake tail with green scales. Gold ouroboros clips in hair, cropped, sleeveless black hoodie with cobra decal on back, green tanktop, gold scale pattern belt, matching fingerless gloves, hunter green skater skirt.

Bio: Never without a wry comment to offer about her current situation, Staci slithers through her everyday life with what seems to be an air of boredom and apathy. However, those who really know her see how much she actually cares for those who are close to her. She’ll never let her friends get themselves killed doing something stupid and she’s not afraid to give it to them straight to prevent that. That being said, she can sometimes be a little too blunt with her comments and need to make some apologies. If she feels something isn’t worth her time, she won’t sugarcoat it. Overall, she’s a snake you want on your side.

Batraculous: Combat Bat

Character Name: Staci Kwan

Miraculous Hero Name: Combat Bat

Appearance: Staci, known as Combat Bat, has an understated yet distinct appearance. Her short, straight, and dyed red hair adds a touch of uniqueness to her look. Light olive skin complements her almond-shaped hazel eyes, and a star-like birthmark on the left side of her forehead is a subtle yet recognizable feature. Staci typically dresses in casual, athletic fashion, reflecting her practical and no-nonsense personality.

Bio: Staci prefers she/her pronouns and breaks the stereotype of being an unceasingly perky cheerleader. She's a cynic and wisecracker who isn't afraid to speak her mind and provide a voice of reason to her more exuberant classmates, often doing so in the most deadpan way possible. On the outside, she may seem lackadaisical and uncaring, but underneath, she's a caring friend who always keeps her companions grounded. However, her demeanor takes a drastic turn when caffeine enters her system, unleashing a burst of energy and enthusiasm.

Batsuit Description: Combat Bat's batsuit reflects Staci's practical and down-to-earth personality, featuring a subdued yet effective design.

Cowl: Staci's cowl is sleek and minimalist, emphasizing practicality over flashy design. It provides full face coverage, featuring a heads-up display that offers vital information and enhances her situational awareness. The cowl's visor can filter different light wavelengths for night vision and has a retractable microphone for communication.

Cape: Her cape is a dark, functional garment that offers additional protection against akuma attacks. It's designed to be compact and unobtrusive, allowing her maximum mobility while still providing defense. The cape can wrap around her for added protection or unfurl for gliding short distances during combat.

Armor: Combat Bat's armor is utilitarian in design, made from durable and lightweight materials. It offers full-body protection while allowing for freedom of movement. The armor includes reinforced gauntlets that can deliver powerful punches and block incoming attacks. Additionally, her boots feature retractable grappling hooks for quick navigation and evasion.

Gadgets: Her utility belt contains gadgets tailored to her practical approach to heroics. Staci carries smoke pellets that release a dense, dark smoke to obscure vision and create tactical advantages. She also has a versatile tool that can generate EMP pulses to disrupt akuma technology and disable their powers temporarily.

Combat Bat's batsuit embodies Staci's straightforward and no-nonsense personality. With her practicality and ability to stay level-headed in high-pressure situations, she plays a crucial role in the Miraculous heroes' efforts to protect Paris. Whether it's providing a voice of reason or springing into action, Staci's presence is invaluable to the team.

so I have this au headcanon that oscillates between silly and depressing that when Gabriella's universe was collapsing all the spiders grabbed as many people as possible and just jumped the portals.

So Gabriela is very much alive and to Miguel's dismay decided that Gwen is the coolest and ballerina and even spidercat agrees! Totally an older sister material!

[oldmemoria]

God I hope this is accurate

[punkeropercyjackson]

I fr cannot stand the trio allegations thrown at Miles,Pavitr and Hobie even platonically and ESPECIALLY romantically-Gwen's way closer to Punkflower than Pavitr is and mans has a whole girlfriend he's poc4poc with but nobody cares about her outside of polyshipping!!!Idgaf about wanting 'queer rep',Gwen's literally canonically a trans girl and Ghostpunk is TEXTUALLY a queer ship because they're t4t since Hobie's trans unlabeled!Plus Jessica was trans in the comics but nobody cares about her either despite having her own fucking runs and Miguel obviously likes her best in the entire cast yet everybody makes him obsessed with Peter B and his wife who's a white woman over gags of Miguel being gringophobic and ntm in HIS run he had Xina yet ANOTHER woc!People would rather Hobie be besties with Noir than Margo when they're actually friends in the movie and act like Gwen's a bad person even though she didn't do nothin' to him and NO ONE ELSE has payed him back for his help yet,NOT just her!NAME A SPIDERWOMAN

[paleghostinthecorner02]

Miguel: "God Gabriel, you fall in love too easily 🙄"

Also Miguel:

If he isn't falling in love at first sight, then he's falling in love at the second.

Miraculous Barbie: The Magic of Pegasus (Starring the Bourgeois/Lee Sisters)

Welcome to the fourth chapter of my Barbie movie adaptation series, starring Zoe and Chloe! @artzychic27 @imsparky2002

"There is always hope!"

CAST:

Zoe Lee as Princess Annika

Chloe Bourgeois as Princess Brietta

Cosette Bellamy as Aidan

Pollen as Shiver

Xavier-Yves “XY” Roth as Wenlock

Mme. Dahlia Winters as Rayla, the Cloud Queen

Candace Fletcher, Staci Kwan & Eloise Matuidi as the Cloud Princesses

Audrey & Andre Bourgeois as Queen Elvina & King Marcus

Wayhem as Farris

And so our story begins…

Long ago, in a faraway and snowy kingdom, there lived a princess. Her name was Zoe…and today was her 16th birthday! Zoe’s father, King Andre, approached his daughter’s room, armed with her birthday present…only to discover she wasn’t there, immediately sending the whole palace into a panic and infuriating her mother, Queen Audrey. (If they had bothered actually looking in her room, they would have found the note she left.)

Meanwhile, a ways away from the palace, the young princess is enjoying her favorite pastime, ice skating, at which she’s the best in the kingdom! Just then, she happens to crash into an adorable polar bear cub, who she quickly befriends, and seeing she seems to have no family, names her Pollen for her love of flowers and decides to take her home!

But when she arrives, she finds her angry mother and worried father waiting for her. Her mother reminds her that she is absolutely forbidden to leave the castle, with her father hastily adding ‘without permission’. Frustrated with their constant restrictions, Zoe asks for the hundredth time why they are so against her leaving the palace, and for the hundredth time, her mother’s glare silences her father’s attempts to explain.

Disgusted that Zoe brought a wild animal home with her and fed up with her ‘defiance’, Audrey forbids Zoe from ever going skating again, devastating the girl, who runs to her room in tears as Andre feels this may be going too far.

That night, as Zoe lays on her bed, frustratedly ranting to Pollen about her controlling parents, she hears music out of her open window. Stepping out on the balcony, she sees many of the villagers skating on the frozen town square, having a celebration to honor the princess’ birthday, go figure. Smiling to herself, Zoe decides that, what better way would there be to thank them for thinking of her today than to make an appearance? She almost never gets to meet any of her subjects, after all!

Donning her favorite dress and stealing back her skates from where Audrey hung them, Zoe sneaks out of the palace. As Zoe arrives, everyone seems to freeze as they watch the princess skate, but she quickly resumes the party with her good humor, skating with a few of the village children before dazzling everyone with her amazing talent on the ice.

But it’s at that moment that the sky is filled with a strange green mist, and from this a griffin swoops down, a man with an arrogant but dangerous air about him astride it. Swaggering up to Zoe, the man declares she is indeed the most beautiful girl in all the land. He introduces himself as Xavier…her future husband, which Zoe does not take very well at all, because who does this guy think he is?

Having seen the mist appear in the sky, Audrey and Andre arrive, with the latter telling Xavier firmly to leave Zoe alone, a demand which is sneeringly denied, along with a smug reminder of what happened to their ‘other daughter’, which confuses Zoe, because since when did she have a sister?

Having had enough of this situation, Zoe demands answers from her parents and for Xavier to leave, because no way in HELL is she going to marry him! In response, Xavier uses his staff to turn both her parents and all of her subjects into statues, with the ultimatum that he will only free them if she gives in, horrifying Zoe. He also adds that she’s more than welcome to join them if she’s still getting cold feet.

But it’s at that moment that something crazy happens. A beautiful golden pegasus with a shining blonde mane swoops down from the sky and rescues Zoe, whisking her away from Xavier, who warns that Zoe has three days to change her mind before his spell becomes permanent.

As they ride through the sky, the dumbstruck Zoe is surprised to discover the pegasus is able to speak, explaining that Xavier is an incredibly powerful sorcerer who takes what he wants when he wants, and that she’s taking Zoe to the Cloud Kingdom, where she’ll be safe. But when Zoe asks who she is and why she saved her, the pegasus answers that her name is Chloe but hesitates on the second question.

They then arrive at the beautiful cloud palace, and are greeted by the three princesses, Candace, Staci and Eloise. Zoe then meets the Cloud Queen, Dahlia, and explains her situation as best she can with Chloe’s help. Dahlia gives her a beautiful new dress and a comfortable room to stay in, and it’s then that Zoe learns from Staci that Chloe, as in the pegasus, is her sister.

Sensing Chloe’s distress, Dahlia steps up to explain. Just like with Zoe, it had been Chloe’s 16th birthday, when Xavier appeared from the sky. When Chloe, just like her sister, had refused to marry him, and her parents ordered him to leave, he transformed the young princess into a pegasus, inspired by the kingdom’s coat of arms. With the spell unable to be broken, Chloe had fled the kingdom and taken refuge with Dahlia and her girls. Zoe is extremely upset, because why the hell was she never told any of this?! Chloe honestly can’t think of a good answer in defense of their parents.

Desperate to save her people and help her sister, Zoe is certain there must be a way to defeat Xavier, with Staci suggesting something called a Wand of Light, only to be shushed by Candace, who reminds her that Chloe doesn’t like talking about it. At Zoe’s insistence, Dahlia explains that a Wand of Light has the most powerful magic of all, but you can’t just find one, you have to build it. And to do that, you need three things: a measure of courage, a ring of love, and a gem of ice lit by Hope’s eternal flame.

Zoe is sure that they can gather the components in time, it’s only three things after all! But Chloe bitterly insists that it’s only a fairytale, she’s tried for years and accomplished nothing. But after encouragement from her sister, she agrees to give it one more shot! Before they leave, Chloe takes Zoe to see the Cloud Princesses paint the clouds for the sunrise, filling the sky with beautiful color and giving both girls the courage they need. Dahlia gives Chloe a necklace with a magical bell that she can ring if she ever needs the Cloud Queen’s help, and they’re off.

Meanwhile, back at his dark palace, Xavier is, as always, cruelly berating his three previous wives, who he transformed into trolls once he grew bored of them, and forces to serve his every whim. He prepares the castle to welcome his new bride, hoping this one won’t…disappoint him.

The two sisters begin their journey in the deepest, darkest part of the Forbidden Forest, a place filled with shadows and monsters. They’re both more than a little rattled…even more so when they hear footsteps besides their own, and a frightened Pollen falls through a hole down a long slide, and the sisters are suddenly caught in a net trap! It’s at this moment, they meet Cosette, a surly young blacksmith who’s lived in the Forbidden Forest for years. She cuts the two down and they exchange introductions. Zoe asks where the tunnel Pollen fell through leads to, to which Cosette only sarcastically answers ‘big trouble’. When her request to be taken there is declined, Zoe promptly jumps down the tunnel, leading Cosette and Chloe to deduce that she’s crazy.

It turns out that the tunnel empties directly into the cooking pot of a giant named Ollie, who plans to cook the princess and her cub for lunch. However, with some quick thinking, Zoe is able to get him to try and prove his strength as a giant compared to others she’s met (a lie, but he doesn’t need to know that), culminating in him chaining himself to the wall, while Zoe uses her hair ribbon and a fork as a grappling rope to climb out, bidding the giant goodbye before he manages to collapse his entire house on himself!

When Zoe reunites with her sister, and surprisingly Cosette, who cared a bit more than they let on about Zoe getting hurt. It’s then that Zoe’s hair ribbon starts to glow, and Chloe notes that it’s her exact measure! A measure of courage! Now that they have the first piece of the Wand of Light, Zoe is feeling a great deal of confidence about their chances, but Cosette believes that they’re chasing fairytales. It’s then that Zoe realizes that once they have all three pieces, they’ll need a smith to put them together, and she asks for their help. Though she doesn’t let on, what Zoe says about needing to do the right thing gets to Cosette, and it agrees to help them. With that, they set out to find the gem of ice!

The two make their way up into the snowy mountains, where they come to a ramshackle shop run by an old acquaintance of Cosette, Wayhem. The young blacksmith states that he’s a good-for-nothing thief, but if there’s one thing he knows, it’s jewels! They enter the shop, and are both flustered when Wayhem mistakes them as a couple. Zoe explains what they’re looking for, and gives him her skates in exchange for what he knows. He tells them about a gem that may fit the description, but that it’s cursed, which is why he never went after it himself. Taking the map he gives them, they make their way further up into the mountains.

After traveling for hours, they decide to rest in a cave for the night so Chloe and Cosette’s horse can rest. Cosette builds a fire to keep them warm, and they get a good night’s sleep. As they exit the cave, Zoe notices the peak of a mountain in the distance, gleaming like a gem in the rising sun, and knows that’s where they need to go. Chloe flies them up to the mountain peak, and they enter an icy cave.

Back at Wayhem’s shop, Xavier arrives after being called by the scavenger, who shows him the princess’ skates, but refuses to divulge any more until given proper incentive. Xavier realizes that Zoe intends to build a Wand of Light, and goes to leave… but not before he changes Wayhem into a literal doormat and takes back the money he paid him!

Back at the icy mountain cave, the four companions stumble upon a message on the wall, which Cosette is able to read: “Beware…take only what you need, but never from greed.” A passageway opens, and they make their way down into the cave, emerging in a cave filled with beautiful gems made of ice. Zoe is drawn to a particular one, and chooses it as the gem for the wand…but Cosette also takes one. However, the cave doesn’t collapse, revealing she needed it for an unselfish reason. Zoe wants to ask about it, but must hold off until later, as unfortunately, the cave now IS collapsing because Pollen, who has more than once shown a love for shiny things, has taken as many gems as she can hold. Thankfully, Chloe gets them all out just in the nick of time!

Arriving back at the cave they spent the night, the only component remaining is a ring of love, with Cosette suggesting maybe they could forge one. As she gets a fire going, Zoe asks what Cosette needed the second ice gem for, and reluctantly, they tell their story. Its mother abandoned their family, taking most of their money with her, and Cosette accidentally blew the rest of it while trying to earn more in a game with Wayhem. She had resolved not to return home until she could pay their father back, and the ice gem should be able to do that.

Cosette will need metal to make the ring of love, and to Zoe’s surprise, Chloe offers her crown, which she deeply treasures as a reminder of what she once was. Cosette offers to use their sword instead, but Chloe insists, because she loves her sister and her people, transforming the crown into a ring. Now united, the three components of the Wand of Light begin to glow, showing they are all present. With the fire ready, Cosette begins to weld them together into the weapon that will hopefully defeat Xavier.

Once the Wand of Light is complete, Cosette presents it to Zoe, wondering how they can see if it works, but Zoe has an idea! Holding up the wand, she wishes with all her heart to break the spell on her sister. The wand begins to glow…and Chloe is changed back into a human! Overcome with joy, the two sisters share their first real hug! (Also, apparently the curse kept Chloe from aging, because she looks like she’s the same age as Zoe even though she should be like twice that, but whatever. (It was that way in the movie with Brietta, just fyi.))

Resolved to defeat Xavier, Zoe declares it’s time to go home!…the only problem is they’re miles away and Chloe can’t fly anymore… Thankfully, Chloe remembers the bell Dahlia gave her, and the Cloud Queen sends two of the Royal pegasi to transport them. It’s here that Zoe bids a reluctant goodbye to Cosette, who she has been developing mutual feelings for, and the blacksmith goes on their way.

But as the sisters are flying back to the Cloud Castle, they are attacked by Xavier and his griffin, who chases them into an icy ravine. He hits Chloe’s horse and sends her tumbling to the ground, Zoe racing down to her sister. Furious with Xavier for harming Chloe, Zoe grabs the Wand of Light, she commands it to destroy the sorcerer…but it doesn’t work.

Feeling she has no other option, Zoe agrees to be Xavier’s bride if he releases everyone. But he now rescinds the offer, as he’s not too happy about the “Destroy Him!” thing, stating that she is ‘just like his other wives’. He steals the wand of light…and then buries Zoe in an avalanche!

Having now woken up, Chloe looks for her sister. Directed by Pollen to the massive pile of snow, she begins to panic, crying out desperately for Zoe as she digs. Cosette hears her, and begins frantically helping her look. They find Zoe, but she’s ice cold and unconscious.

They bring her back to the Cloud Kingdom, where the princesses tend to her. After a few hours, Cosette and her sister’s pleas seem to reach Zoe, and she wakes up. In the heat of the moment, the princess and the blacksmith share a kiss.

Zoe realizes that it’s almost sundown, and this is the third day! They are almost out of time! The three race to Xavier’s dark castle to retrieve the Wand of Light and stop him once and for all! The Cloud Princesses slow down the sunset as much as they can to give them more time, but it may not be enough…

Back in his fortress, Xavier attempts to use the Wand of Light on his wives to make them work faster, but obviously fails, declaring it useless and tossing it aside, which causes the gem to break loose from the hilt. This happens at the same time Cosette and the royal sisters arrive, preparing to launch an ambush. While Chloe stays and tends to the horses, Cosette and Zoe skate down through a narrow tunnel, each surprised by the other’s skill. Cosette then moves to distract the griffin while Zoe sneaks into the main room, trying to find the wand. Xavier returns and nearly catches her, but he is quickly distracted by Cosette fighting his griffin. Zoe manages to find the wand, but not without the gem falling off and slipping over the edge of the balcony or before Cosette is knocked over a cliffside by the griffin!

Distraught, Zoe drops to the ground, feeling she has failed. Thankfully, someone pulls themself up from the cliffside and offers her the backup gem they took from the cave. It’s a perfect fit, but only in time for Xavier to arrive and steal it with his magic, as his griffin tackles Cosette. But he himself doesn’t hold the Wand of Light…one of his former wives does. Zoe reaches out to them, appealing that they deserve better than this, that she can make a better future for everyone. Moved by her words, they give the wand to Zoe, who wishes from the bottom of her heart, not from anger this time, to break all of Xavier’s evil spells. She is changed into a beautiful dress, and her people are unpetrified, and Xavier’s former wives are changed from trolls back into themselves! Xavier himself is changed into a pathetic little man, who will now be forced to serve the women he mistreated for the rest of his days!

Zoe returns to the kingdom with Chloe and the two confront their parents about keeping all this a secret, with Andre apologizing, stating that he always wanted to explain but Audrey forbade it. The two sisters make up for lost time and prepare to rule the kingdom together. Cosette returns to her home, and is welcomed back by their father with open arms.

A couple years later, the entire kingdom is at the Cloud Castle, celebrating Zoe and Cosette’s engagement. There’s a huge ice rink and everyone’s eyes are on the couple as they skate in a beautiful waltz.

And they all lived happily ever after!
