My Vesperia redesign and a bit rewrite of a queen banana:
I want to thank everyone that participated in the poll for this and the upcoming Kitty Noire redesign post I’ll be doing next. Just wanted to say this post is for pure fun and not for malicious intent just like my sole crusher redesign and sorry that wasn’t clear enough. Anyway on to this post.
My opinion about her original design:
Honestly, I like Vesperia’s design, it looks pretty great. And look, I know it has its drawbacks and may not be the best design but it is far from the worst design in the whole show. That goes to Aspik, Snake Noir, and Hawkmoth/Shadow moth/Monarch, huh like father like son. Okay back to the discussion beforehand, yeah Vesperia looks more like a wasp than a bee but I don’t find any issues with it since some of the heroes also don’t like their respective animals as well and some people weren’t complaining about them, to be honest. Also if I did have a problem with it then this post probably wouldn’t exist. Honestly, the things I don’t like about her design are her camouflage mode design, her hair, and the slider (what the wiki calls it) on her chest. Her camo mode hair comb is just a bee design but with her usual colors for her clothes, which doesn’t look that pleasing to me. Her braid isn’t just working for me and I’m kinda confused about how it looks when it is unbraid compared to Queen Bee's hair where that hairstyle makes sense. And why the slider on her chest, it feels very out of place, to be honest, and it doesn’t need to be there at all. So yeah this design is pretty solid in my book. I like the design even though there are problems with it that people have that are genuine criticisms of it.
So let's redesign Vesperia and see if the design could work for her as much as her original design.
Her Redesign:
Okay, so I ended up changing the design a lot more than expected so here we go. The things I’m keeping are her boots, her mask, her stripes, and her antennas since I like them and would fit here. First I would give her a short half-down and half-up hairstyle so the hair comb with the antennas can stay in place while her bangs and bottom layer are black hair color and then her mask being the same as before. Then I would give her a sleeveless swan-necked black shirt with warm yellow stripes and the collar is warm yellow as well. She has black fingerless biker gloves with spikes on them and warm yellow shorts with suspenders hanging down and chains belts which is where the spinning top is. She has bee wings as well because it would work for her. Lastly, having black ripped tights and boots from her original design. And as for the disguise mode for the miraculous, I would have two pink bougainvillea flowers one on the right and one on the left and they each have a skull head in the middle while having gold leaves and thorns as well for the rest of the hair comb. Here are some pictures for reference:
And yes, I know she isn’t a ginger but that stops me from pushing my Ginger Zoé agenda!!
Some notes and quotes:
Okay I know this is the part where I do a personality rewrite but honestly, it is the same as her canon self so let’s move on.
Before I do the quotes, here are some things that I would like to mention:
She can be very snarky whenever Chloé gets akumatized.
She is very close friends with Rooster Bold and Purple Tigress. And may or not ask them for love advice sometimes.
I think during Queen Banana, Zoé had a bag of honey chocolate chip cookies and gave Pollen to recharge, and ever since Pollen loved them.
She may not know Pollen that long but she and Pollen have a nice bond where Zoé was mostly scared of her at first but ends up thinking Pollen is one of the sweetest things in the world. While Pollen would help Zoé with her self-confidence and always be happy to see her (and lowkey shipping her with her crush).
And her antennas can emote as some anime ahoges can even without her noticing it.
Now here are some quotes for you guys to enjoy (and sorry these are a bit weaker than usual) also I'm did use @artzychic27 ocs in this I’m tagging them for that reason:
Reshma when Queen Banana appears: … I swear to god, the more she gets akumatized the more she looks tacky in each one.
Jean: Yep and the fact she got a gaudy car and gorilla as well is stupid.
Ismael: I’m starting to think ShadowMoth is getting worse in Akuma design as we speak that is even low for him since some of the early Akuma designs weren’t even that good.
Reshma: Yep, he is even worse than Gabriel fucking Agreste is.
Meanwhile
ShadowMoth: *crying* I’m not a bad designer.

Cosette: Okay, I think we’re safe here from that loony banana for now. *turn to face Zoé* Right now, we need to *sees that she upsets* Zoé?… What's wrong?
Zoé hugging her knees: …
Cosette: *sits next to her* You can tell me if you want, I just want to know if you’re okay.
Zoé: … It's my fault.
Cosette: Huh?
Zoé: It's my fault that she’s acting like this and terrorizing everyone! If I wasn’t in the movie, she wouldn’t be ruining it and got akumatized. She was probably right to want to send me back to New York. *starts tearing up* I’ll just keep messing up things for everyone else just like I did back in New York.
Cosette: Zoé, none of this is your fault.
Zoé: What?
Cosette: *gently holds her hand while blushing* You didn’t do anything wrong in this situation and Chloé is just trying to pin blame on someone else so she wouldn’t have to admit that it was her fault in the first place. There were many times when she got akumatized because she didn’t get what she wanted those were way before you came here. Even if you mess up, like I said, I and many others are going to be here to help you, no matter what. Overall, you did nothing wrong in this situation and I’m going to keep telling you that until you believe it, okay?
Zoé: *blushing* … Okay, I believe you.
Cosette: *hugs her* Good.
Zoé: *hugs them back and then let's go when she hears chaos coming from outside* But, I need to face her alone. She’s my sister and I can’t sit by and let her hurt others because of me. So I want you to stay here so you can be safe because knowing that you aren’t hurt, makes me happy, Cosette.
Cosette: Okay, just be safe out there.
Zoé: I will. *hugs it real tight before leaving* I’ll be back!
Cosette: *blushes while smiling* Okay! ‘That’s my girl.’

Ladybug summons a motorcycle: … What the?!
Zoé: Hmm, if you don’t mind can I drive it?
Ladybug: Oh…Okay?
Zoé: Great! *puts on her helmet and gets on it* Hang on!
Ladybug: *holds on to her* Wha- *gets freaked by the fast driving* AHHHHHHH!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An alternative way to defeat Queen Banana (sorry this is too corny for you):
Queen Banana holding Ladybug while her banana gun is against her head: Give me your miraculous, or else I’ll turn her int- *gets pulled into the ground by a yellow string and drops her banana gun* What the?! Who dares to stop me?!?
Vesperia: I did, banana brain.
Queen Banana: Who are you supposed to be, my pathetic clone?! Because there is only one Queen Bee and that is me!!!
Vesperia: .. You're right, you are the only queen bee around here. You know the one who almost caused a train to crash for her selfish reasons, the one who decided to work with Shadowmoth because she didn’t get what she wanted, and put every other hero in danger by revealing their secret identity to him not realizing the consequences of what will happen next. No one wants to be Queen Bee because she is nothing but a pathetic person that expects things to go her way all the damn time. You are queen bee since no one wants to be anything like you, especially me. *grins a sly smile* I’m Vesperia by the way! *wields her spinning top back into her hand* VENOM! *stings Queen Banana and takes her hair clip* Here you go! *throws it to ladybug, who catches it*
Ladybug/Chat Noir: 😧
Chat Noir: … That was unexpected.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vesperia while princess carrying Cosette: Are you okay, Co- I mean civilian?
Cosette: *blushing like crazy* Um-uh..um YEAH! Thank you for saving me!!
Vesperia: *also blushing while her antennas emote a heart shape* You're welcome! Let’s get you to safety, don’t want someone as cute as you to get hurt. *starts to fly up to the skies*
Cosette: ….*makes confused bisexual noises*
After a few minutes of searching for a safe place
Cosette: *blushing* Thank you for saving me Vesperia, you’re a very pretty- I mean pretty cool hero!
Vesperia: *blushing* Of course! I’m always here if you ever need saving umm…
Cosette: Cosette.
Vesperia: Right! You have such a lovely name.
Cosette: Thanks. *smiles softly and awkwardly*

Pollen looking at a picture of the science kids: My Queen, who are these people?
Zoé: Oh, those are my friends. We took that photo a couple days after I first got here.
Pollen: Oh so they’re like your court?
Zoé: Well I’m not sure if that's the right way to use it like that.
Pollen: … *points to Cosette* So would that mean this girl you were talking to isn’t queen by your side then.
Zoé: … *blushes like a ripped tomato* NO! Not like that!! I mean I do appreciate Cosette as a friend of mine!!! It’s not that I have a crush on it exactly!!
Pollen who saw the whole conversation when she saved them: Uhhh right, my queen. ‘It seems like my queen may be having trouble expressing her emotions… a lot.’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marc: Oh hey Zoé!
Zoé: Hey Marc, hey Nathaniel! What are you guys doing?
Marc: We’re heading to movies and the fact I finally got him to take a break from drawing all that adrienette cringe.
Nathaniel: I still think we could have stayed at home to watch some movies.
Marc: But it's lovely out here, especially the weather! Anyway, what are you doing?
Zoé: Oh I was just smelling some flowers, no biggie!
Nathaniel: Really, your cover in flowers and pollen.
Zoé: I was checking if flowers were okay and might I say, they are looking and smell lovely.
Marc: Oh okay. Well you want to come with us to the movies?
Zoé: Oh no thanks, I don’t be the third wheel on your date and don’t want to make things awkward when you two decide to make out in the movie theater. *she’s wink while MarcNath blushes*
Nathaniel: We better get going, bye Zoé.
Marc: See you at school, Zoé!
Zoé: See ya! *waves MarcNath goodbye as they walking* Well, time to go back to smell these lovely flowers!
Hope everyone has a good day and enjoy this post!
