Befana is an akumatized villain in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir and the akumatized form of Gina Dupain.
Appearance[]
Befana has bright red eyes, pale green skin, and long, brushed-back red hair with two white streaks. She wears a black mask with red edges on the sides of the face. Her outfit is a black short-sleeved bodysuit with jagged pink edges to the arm and leg sleeves and a large jagged pink-tipped collar above a regular black collar. She also sports a pink and black bow resembling a wrapped candy on the chest. She wears black fingerless driving gloves that reveal long fingernails painted with red nail polish, spiked black cuffs, black shoes, and two thin black belts around her hips. One belt has a circular red-orange pouch attached to it, and it has a black symbol on it based on its bow. For a weapon, she holds a black gun-like object with a dark gray horn-like barrel, a jagged red stripe around the barrel, a blue rectangle on each side, and a semi-cube end of the handle with colorful objects inside.
Personality[]
As Befana, she is more cruel, impatient, and very demanding. She was ardent to render retribution to Marinette for not having rejected opportunities to invest time with her. She is additionally quite stubborn yet can be facetious, particularly when she begins singing her song to her victims. While aggressive and cruel, however, she still acknowledges and is pleased by acts of kindness and selflessness. She is also very prestigious when it comes to manners, even forcing Hawk Moth to ask nicely (much to his annoyance) before he can give her orders.
During her second akumatization as Befana, she believes that Marinette deserves to be raised in total freedom. Because of this, Befana gets very competitive with the rest of her akumatized family, fighting with them to prevent them from imposing their way of raising Marinette or trying to beat them into getting Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses.
Powers and Abilities[]
Befana can fly with the help of her transformed broom-motorcycle. She can also either turn people into coal statues (if they're naughty around her) or into fairy minions (if they're nice around her) via her pistol and order them to do her bidding but she has to reload her pistols when she rans out of Ammo. However, Befana is not immune to her own candies or she will turn into a coal statue as shown when Ladybug uses her candies against her.

Trivia[]
- Befana is based on the figure of the same name from Italian folklore. Befana was an old woman (sometimes described as a witch) who rode a broom and brought gifts to children, similar to Santa Claus. Good children got candy, while bad children were given coal.
- Befana appears another time in "Gamer 2.0" for Ladybug's avatar and Gamer's powers.
