| “ | I want... those... dolls! | „ |
| ~ Puppeteer's catchphrase |
The Puppeteer is the akumatized form of Manon Chamack. After her mother confiscated a doll that Marinette gave her, she got angry, and was transformed by Hawk Moth.
Appearance[]
The Puppeteer's skin is purple, and her eyes are pink. Her hair is black, the tips of her ponytails light blue with long white spikes sticking out of each. She wears a black mask over her eyes. She also wears a black fairy dress with a black collar, icy blue-colored shirt top, light blue design and two points at the skirt top, and light blue butterfly sleeves with black edges over black puff sleeves at her shoulders with light blue zigzag ends. Long, black, fingerless gloves adorn her hands. On her legs and feet, she has black leggings. Her wand is black with a black star at the end. The tip of the handle and the tips of the points of the star are icy blues.
Personality[]
As the Puppeteer, she is greedier and less controlled, wanting things to go the way she believes they should. While smart with how to use her puppets, she still thinks and acts like her young age. She is impatient and throws fits of anger when searching for the dolls.
Powers and Abilities[]
The Puppeteer zaps glowing pale, light grayish cerulean energy with her wand at a doll of a person. It rises into the air, and then she zaps it again, commanding it to come to life. The person that doll is based on becomes her real-life puppet, which she controls with the doll, similar to how voodoo dolls work. If the Puppeteer wants to, she can speak through the doll, and the real-life person will say the same thing. As for the puppet's actions and movements, she either does it herself, or she tells them what to do and they follow her order without her direct control.
A quirk of her power is that if the doll is based on a person's akumatized villain form, the person transforms back into the villain with a wave of glowing pale, light grayish cerulean energy, and they regain all of their powers, but they also keep their weaknesses, as Lady Wifi's powers went off when Cat Noir destroyed the Wi-Fi antenna on top of the bakery.
The Puppeteer can fly and hover. She is also able to use telekinesis to keep the puppets floating and moving with her after she has zapped them.
In "Gamer 2.0", although she only had a Cat Noir doll, Puppeteer was to also able to maintain control over Copycat as well. Though, it is possible the doll is indended to be a Copycat doll insted.
