Stay still, you mangy cat! Here, kitty, kitty, kitty. Come on.
~ Nightmare Ladybug

Nightmare Ladybug is the nightmare version of Ladybug. She is Cat Noir's nightmare of Ladybug who fears Ladybug won't love him.

Appearance[]

The Nightmare Ladybug has the same appearance as the real Ladybug.

Personality[]

In contrast to her real counterpart, the Nightmare Ladybug is entirely villainous, hateful, vengeful, arrogant, ruthless, sadistic, and psychopathic. Being a representation of Cat Noir's fear of Ladybug hating him, she utterly rejects his affections and seeks to get revenge on him by trying to destroy him in his dreams. When she was brought to life by Sandboy, the titular akumatized villain of the episode, she had an opportunity to be rid of Cat Noir once and for all. However, she was unaware that she was risking her own life by attempting to kill Cat Noir in real life, as she is a representation of Cat Noir's fear of Ladybug hating him. This means that she only exists because of Cat Noir, and if she actually killed him, she would be erased from existence.

Powers and Abilities[]

Like her original counterpart, the Nightmare Ladybug has the same powers and abilities as Ladybug. However, she only used her powers to get her revenge on Cat Noir. In the episode, she used her Lucky Charm to summon a huge sword to attack Cat Noir and try to destroy him.

History[]

In "Sandboy", during a fight with the titular character, after Cat Noir mentions to Ladybug that losing his powers is not his greatest nightmare, the Nightmare Ladybug from Cat Noir's dreams appears out of nowhere on top of a building, calling out his name. She rants about how much she hates him and wants to get rid of him once and for all. The Nightmare Ladybug calls on her Lucky Charm and receives a sword, which she starts attacking Cat Noir with. However, both the real Ladybug and Cat Noir manage to dodge both Sandboy and the Nightmare Ladybug.

The real Ladybug comes up with a plan. She and Cat Noir trick the Nightmare Ladybug into hitting her sword against a building rail edge and then use a piece of the sword that chips off to cut open Sandboy's pillow, freeing the akuma. Ladybug uses the Miraculous Ladybug to fix all the damage and then purifies the akuma.

Once everything is returned to normal, the Nightmare Ladybug is defeated by the Miraculous Ladybug while trying to get her sword out of the building rail, and then disappears from the real world. Before Cat Noir takes off, the real Ladybug asks him if he really thinks that she is as awful as his nightmare. However, Cat Noir assures her that that's not the case and takes off.

The Nightmare Ladybug's fate after the events of the episode is left uncertain. It is possible that she was either sent back to Cat Noir's dreams or was destroyed because of the Miraculous Ladybug.

Quotes[]

Bad kitty! I'll never love you! I've always wanted to get rid of you!
