Character from Miraculous Ladybug by Thomas Astruc / ZAG
Marinette's ride-or-die best friend, amateur journalist, Ladybug superfan, and the superhero Rena Rouge — who figured out more about the Miraculous than most adults while running a blog from her phone.
Alya runs the Ladyblog — Paris's most popular superhero news site — with the intensity of an investigative journalist and the technical resources of a teenager with a phone plan. She has been on scene at more akuma attacks than most emergency responders. She has interviewed Ladybug. She has been akumatized herself (as Lady Wifi) when someone threatened to take down her blog. She is fiercely loyal to Marinette, aggressively encouraging of Marinette's crush on Adrien, and completely unaware that her best friend is the superhero she idolizes. As Rena Rouge, she wields the Fox Miraculous and creates illusions — her journalist's understanding of narrative makes her devastatingly good at deception in the field. She speaks her mind, takes no nonsense from Chloé, and will walk into a supervillain fight with nothing but a camera because the story matters. Her relationship with Nino is the show's healthiest romance — two people who actually communicate, support each other, and resolve conflicts like functional humans.
Teenage girl with dark skin, wavy auburn ombre hair, hazel eyes behind red-rimmed glasses, and an expression that permanently says 'I'm onto something.' Wears a plaid flannel shirt over a white tee with an eye graphic, jeans, and sneakers. Always has her phone out, always recording. As Rena Rouge: orange bodysuit with a fox tail, fox ears, and a mask — the Fox Miraculous grants the power of illusion.
