They should have given English dub Zoe a really really strong New York accent, it was hilarious hearing Marinette say “you accent is so pretty! Where are you from?” and Zoe respond in the exact same accent “New York!”
marichat scenes seem to be on the rise for some reason it feels like marichat has an important role this season,,,

So this is Zoe’s designs in ROA. I plan to have her start off as Su Han’s hench person so she doesn’t go by Vesperia until she joins team Miraculous. Her current name will be Cicada which is the scientific name for the killer wasp. That’s what the first design is. I’ve included a new Kwami and Miraculous for her in order to keep her design as Vesperia which is the Wasp Miraculous. I have intentionally made the kwami similar to Pollen. The Wasp’s ability is similar to the canon-verse power of Miracle Queen. However, it goes a bit more then just controlling Miraculous holders. The wasp miraculous allows the user to control a number of people for five minutes and the ability is called Hive Mind. it is used through the weapon which is darts and a blow gun.
Edit: forgot to mention what the concept was. It’s Domination. Again it’s meant to be similar to the bee miraculous which is Subjection. Or at least I’m keeping it as that as Action is seems weird to me for the bee miraculous.
The second design is her akumatized wasp form aka Assassin Bee. I did use Queen Wasp as a reference image, especially for the hair as I wondered what Zoe would look like with that hairstyle. As it is with all Akumatized holders, her ability is amplified. She is able to take control of anyone for an unlimited amount of time and make them do whatever she wants. I’m also thinking that she might have a secondary ability where she can poison people but that depends on how the Assassin Bee Chapter goes.
Now the final design is simply a redesign of Sole Crusher. As her storyline differs as does Chloe’s, her becoming Sole Crusher will have a different reason. I intend to do as her having an identity crisis and trying to work out who she is beyond Su Han’s control. She probably tries to find a way to fit in similar to the actual episode but naturally Hawkmoth will take advantage of her troubled heart. The reason why I changed the design is because Chloe isn’t the cause plus I’m not overly keen on the original. As for the design, I tried to combine the original with the concept art while making it suited to the situation I want to work with. As a result, we have that design. The identity crisis is why this akuma doesn’t have defining facial features, apart from a mouth but I intended for her to have no face. I actually like how it came out though.
