Summary:

[Name] [Surname] was once the average teenager. Not popular, bordering the status of a loner, but still friendly enough to be known. It was comfortable. She was comfortable. And now, after a year of crippling anxiety and sleepless nights, she can't help but miss the normality of ignorance she once had.

Forced to carry the burden of saving the present from a devastating future, [Name]'s path leads her to Paris due to the exchange student program. Enrolled into Collège Françoise Dupont, [Name] has no want nor need to make friends, choosing to focus on her studies and mission at hand. Only, the ever-persistent Adrien Agreste, begs to differ.

Weeks after the start of the school year, it's by chance that a new hero makes their debut; Lilac Agouti. A carefree, energetic hero who adds a certain levity to the heroes of Paris, Chat Noir & Ladybug. As [Name] enjoys her dynamic with her new teammates, she finds her carefully crafted mask begin to break under the pressure of having to hide the truth from them.

It doesn't help that the cat-like hero has taken a liking to her civilian self, and no matter how hard she tries to shake him, he's just as persistent as those annoying classmates of hers.
