ā€œ You don't have to worry about me pretending to be your friend, because I HATE YOUR GUTS! ā€ž
~ Lila declaring her eternal hatred for Scarlet Lady.
ā€œ Orikko, sun rise! ā€ž
~ Fenice's transformation phrase.

Lila Iris Cerise Rossi (also know as Volpina in her akumatized form and Fenice as a superheroine) is a supporting character from Scarlet Lady, a Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir AU created by zoe onee-sama in Tumblr.

She is an alternate version of the original Lila who was humiliated and exposed as a liar by Scarlet Lady instead of Ladybug (since ChloƩ is who uses the Ladybug Miraculous in this universe), causing the young woman to harbor an eternal hatred for the false heroine. She was akumatized by Hawk Moth as Volpina, just like in the canon story, but after her defeat, instead of running away from school, she had a conversation with Marinette who encouraged her not to give up and that she could have friends without lying to everyone. She eventually becomes more heroic... a little. She is still arrogant, mischievous and occasionally an jerk, but she no longer uses lies to get what she wants and knows the value of saving lives, to the point of having the Rooster Miraculous entrusted to her by Chat Noir, becoming the superheroine Fenice.

Her Good Ranking[]

Her Heroic Deeds[]

  • Even when she lied, it is revealed that she had a reason for it: because her family moved a lot, she never had time to form friendships properly, and began lying as a way to defend herself and make friends more easily. This is shown as a form of sympathy for the character.
  • Unlike her grudge against Ladybug in canon, her grudge against Scarlet Lady is less petty and much more understandable, considering Scarlet threw her in a fountain and ridiculed her for being a liar in front of not just Adrien, but all of her friends. and classmates - even laughing about it - to the point of making her cry, which makes her kind of sympathetic.
  • She is much more heroic and honorable than her canon villainous counterpart, as she did not become a villain and is friends with Marinette, and no longer uses lies to get what she wants.
  • She apologizes to her colleagues for her lies.
  • Even as an akumatized villain, she shows some standards, being horrified and furious to see that the Scarlet Lady is willing to let civilians - including Adrien - die during battles.
  • She acts as Manon's temporary babysitter so she can buy Miss Bustier a birthday present.
  • She is furious with Scarlet Lady for being willing to let Alya drown and expresses relief to see that she is okay.
  • She shows concern for Sabrina when she is infected by Zombizou.
  • She praises Sabrina for her helpfulness and observation skills, calling these characteristics worthy of a true heroine.
  • She protects Adrien from Frightningale, stating that just because they don't get along doesn't mean she would let him get caught by an Akuma.
  • She helps the heroes defeat Frightningale, being a key player in defeating her.
  • On Heroes' Day, she, Sabrina and Alix defend ZoĆ© and try to protect the heroes' reputation.
  • In their most emotional moment, she and Sabrina apologize to Alix/Timebreaker for not realizing her insecurities and helping her with her fears, calling her a great friend they won't leave behind.
  • She go to help the other heroes to help Ladybug and Chat Noir defeat Hawk Moth.

Why Doesn't She Stand Out?[]

  • She's an asshole: Having confessed to Marinette that she gave her a mask as a gift just because she wanted to get rid of it because it reminded her of Scarlet; Having insinuated that she intended to tell the same lies as in canon when she became friends with the class; playing that she would leave her homework in Sabrina's hands when she became her friend; taking advantage of the fact that ChloĆ© is covered in rubbish to take humiliating photos of her; proposing to destroy ChloĆ©'s hotel when everyone was called to her party and mocking Frightningale when confronting her.
  • She is very arrogant, likes "morning compliments" just to hear them and when she is attacked by a zombified Sabrina, she says it's not time to realize how amazing she is.
  • She fails to meet heroic standards compared to Chat Noir - who saved the city inumerous times - and Marigold - who saved lifes and helped Chat even before get a Miraculous - . Even save Adrien was very standard, and helped Alix was admirable, but it doesn't stand out.
  • While her grudge against Scarlet Lady is understandable, she is too vengeful to be PG or NPG or even IA; humiliating her live on Nadja Chamack's show and wanting to find a way to use the Rooster's power to replace her. While it's understandable given what a poor example of a hero Scarlet is, her attitudes are too vindictive for her to be anything more than a Benchmark Heroine.

Trivia[]

  • She, Queen Bee, Ryuko and Caprikid are the Miraculous characters who are Benchmark Heroes, even that she was created by a fan.
