The series is set in Paris and follows the adventures of two teenagers, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste. By day, Marinette is a normal high school student, while Adrien is a famous model. But when Paris is threatened by supervillains, they transform into the superhero duo known as Ladybug and Cat Noir, respectively.
Ladybug possesses the power of creation and has a magic yo-yo, while Cat Noir has the power of destruction and wields a staff. Together, they protect Paris from the villain Hawk Moth, who seeks to obtain their miraculous powers for his own nefarious purposes.
