While Plagg is often lazy he is also tough on his holder and works with Adrien to help him become a better Cat Noir, but he doesn't show great amounts of dedication towards him most of the time. He once hid from Adrien instead of coming out to help him when Stormy Weather was on the loose, and the only thing that lured him out was Camembert. He often teases him, usually for his impossible love for Ladybug, or points out questionable decisions when he isn't opting for doing them himself. However, he refers to Ladybug as the love of Adrien's life and questions why he didn't take the chance to find out her secret identity after the battle with Lady Wifi. At other times, Plagg deeply cares about Adrien but he doesn´t want to admit it. Plagg understands when a situation is dire and he will take it with caution, significance, and discretion.

During "Oblivio", since Plagg lost his memory he couldn't remember what or who Adrien was and refused to help him against the villain. He gets so tired of the situation that he leaves, but as Plagg goes begins to see billboards of Adrien everywhere at first calling it psychological harassment. But upon seeing Oblivio's bubble and remembering Tikki's words, he returns to Adrien asking if he can help.

However, Plagg has shown that he does care for Adrien, like when he asks if he's okay when his father doesn't appear for parent show-and-tell at school and in "Santa Claws" when he genuinely tells Adrien "Merry Christmas." Plagg once lets Adrien neglect his duties as Cat Noir, suggesting that he should have fun at his birthday party before trapping the Bubbler's akuma. He also gives him cheese, something he doesn't usually share, for his birthday, even though Adrien doesn't want it and Plagg eats it for him. Also, unlike Tikki, he doesn't pressure him when it comes to working. He is informative to Adrien at times, like when he warns him that they can't transform in "Rogercop" while Chloé's bracelet is stuck on Plagg's head, as it would damage Cat Noir's powers. In "Simon Says", Plagg looks concerned and sad for Adrien when Gabriel hugs him and leaves quickly when he notices Adrien's ring for the first time. Also as a sign that he cares, is in "Glaciator", believing that Adrien had a heartache, Plagg offers to share his cheese with him. Plagg also attempts to cheer Adrien up in "Captain Hardrock" by performing a brief concert for him when he wasn't allowed to go to his friends' concert.

In "Syren", when Adrien threatened to remove his Miraculous if Plagg doesn't spill his secrets. He admits in a way that Adrien is his close friend. But when Master Wang Fu arrives Plagg is relieved that he doesn't have to hide secrets from Adrien. In "Sandboy", he can easily tell the real Adrien from a fake Adrien quoting, "The real one talks nonsense but it's never this bad". Seeing the damage, Plagg hoped he was okay and was relieved he survived his nightmare. After the ordeal he embraced Adrien for letting him have his freedom (mostly) and being the best Cat Noir ever.

In "Style Queen", he shows great concern for Adrien when he is turned into a golden statue by the villain. In "Frozer", Plagg jokes on how he greets a Camembert before eating it as an advice for Adrien who is unsure about whether Ladybug is his only crush after giving a rose to Kagami Tsurugi, though Adrien thinks that Plagg should give this piece of advice to someone else. And again when Adrien got turned into a pigeon in "Mr. Pigeon 72".

In "Mayura", Plagg rarely but also generously shared his Camembert with Adrien, which the latter, unlike how he normally would instinctively detest it, gladly accepted.

He also tried to cheer Adrien up in "The Puppeteer 2" and also in "Feast", when Nathalie's condition made him think of his mother. By playing a duet with him on the piano causing Adrien laugh.

During their world adventures, Plagg convinced Adrien to go to New York with his classmates for a field trip but when a fight against Technolizer resulted in Uncanny Valley's destruction yet revival they both were horrified and saddened about the consequences. Hearing his owner being so guilt riddened over it Plagg was shocked when Adrien relinquished the ring telling him to wait before being put back inside his Miraculous. During their brief separation Plagg felt guilty that he didn't try harder to stop him. Once Adrien reclaimed the ring Plagg was happily reunited with him.

During the second anniversary of Adrien's mother's disappearance in "Ephemeral", seeing his father bring them to a mysterious room Plagg comforted Adrien the whole way and his deep care for him was seen again for what Gabriel put his owner through and akumatizing him shortly after discovering Gabriel's identity as their enemy and wanted to Cataclysm him to avenge his owner.

After being unparalyzed by Monarch in "Deflagration", understanding of what being captured by him meant, knowing that he was cause of Adrien's sadness, Plagg hastily tried to Cataclysm to protect his owner's happiness.

Being more cautious than Adrien and due to his owner's lack of contact with the outside world; Plagg often warns him when something isn't a good idea especially when it comes around to those who are suspicious or sneaky. Sometime Plagg might see him as foolish because he shows patience and empathy towards people who are cruel and deceitful. Such as with Lila in "Volpina" and more so in "Chameleon", after her akumatized alter ego kissed Adrien causing him to fall into an enchanted sleep and shoved into a locker. Plagg tried to wake him up to no avail but when Adrien woke up, Plagg explained what happened with Lila advising him to be more careful in picking his friends. Aware of Lila's deceitful nature in "Oni-Chan", Plagg asked Adrien why is he being nice to her warning him of how sneaky she is.

In "Reflekdoll", when getting ready for Marinette's photoshoot Plagg advised Adrien not to remove his ring but was in charge of guarding it but seeing Reflekta and her sentimonster's destruction he found the ring and went looking for Adrien but found Marinette instead. After the titular villain's defeat, Plagg was happily reunited with him, and happy that he won't remove the ring again.

Again in "Desperada", when warning Adrien about using another Miraculous especially since he couldn't be two different heroes at the same time. But seeing that he was so love struck that Ladybug picked him to wield the Snake Miraculous, he gave up trying to reason with him. As Aspik, he scolded Adrien for not listening to him, but after the final time he was happy that Adrien came to his senses and encouraged him to make up the experience as Cat Noir.

During "Passion", being aware that they were being chased by the titular villain's venom bolts after detransforming and informing his owner that they were gone. Upon knowing that they have to switching Miraculouses again, Plagg gets Adrien's permission to remove his guardian's miraculous to unfreeze her but before the switch he hears Adrien express a desire to use the ultimate power to better their world but hearing Ladybug's words, Plagg sighs in relief when he refuses after said villain's defeat they reunite.

And yet there were times when he caused trouble for Adrien, such as in "Rogercop" and worst yet when he received a scolding from Adrien about wondering off and being spotted by another person in "Kwamibuster". Plagg also mentions Tikki to Adrien leading him to figuring out the heroine's identity which left him worried. He warned him if his or Ladybug's identity gets out then they can't be their alter egos giving up their jewels. Upon being set free Plagg reunited with Adrien giving him advice about coming up with a story to hide his identity.

As they spend time together and bond Plagg often assured Adrien when he was in doubt about his life changing such as "Stormy Weather 2", when Adrien believes that his life hasn't change nor will his father Plagg thought otherwise reminding him of everything that happen since last summer vouching that his life had changed for the better. Hearing Adrien's indecisiveness about the future in "Wishmaker", Plagg suggested that if Adrien didn't want to model anymore and being sketchy about his job as Cat Noir, Plagg assured Adrien that he'd be there for him and they'd run a cheese shop together before heading to the career expo.

Seeing the other heroes entering the scene in "Kuro Neko", Plagg convinced a depressed Adrien to transform. When Adrien was convinced that he had been replaced and wanted to give up the ring Plagg tried to stop him but went dormant. Later, he returns still seeing him depressed and horrified he threw his cheese out. He convinced Adrien to take the ring again but refused if things didn't change. Having an idea, he told Adrien how to reinvent himself into Ladybug's "perfect" partner. During the fight against the titular sentimonster, he heard that things weren't going so well and told Adrien to relax as this was new. After defeating the creature and returning home, Adrien believed the plan didn't work but Plagg said otherwise. Hearing Adrien's concerns about not getting his old persona back and if Cat Noir was his true self. Plagg clarified that he was both and that one half couldn't be without the other then they embraced happy to be reunited.

In "Rocketeer", due to them being together Plagg suggests that Adrien is starting to take after him. There were times he acted just like Adrien when he's Cat Noir such as rushing into action without his head something that Ladybug called out on in "Kwamibuster".

Following "Deflagration", when he was captured by Monarch, Plagg sacrificed himself and destroyed his Miraculous to keep hope alive. Even though, he returned to his former state, Plagg was likely very proud of his owner for standing up to their enemy.

Despite knowing of his owner's endless love for Ladybug, he also knows of Adrien's status as a model and that he has many lady fans seen in "Dark Cupid". But when he sees the photo that Lila posted caused Kagami's akumatization in "Oni-Chan", Plagg calls her another admirer knowing that with so many lady fans hovering around Adrien that they would end up fighting over him. The kwami refers to them again in "Stormy Weather 2", when Plagg questioned Adrien's love for Ladybug again grabbing a pile Valentine Day cards he suggested picking another girl who's available.

But as time moves on Plagg is aware of Adrien's feelings switching from Ladybug to Marinette and soon he had concerns about it in "Passion".

Seeing that the love between his owner and guardian getting serious and wanting a chance for them to be happy in "Transmission", with a heavy but caring heart Plagg gave Adrien great praise as a miraculous holder as he used his powers for the greater good compared to the kwami himself. Sadly wanting to set him free from the responsibility but with his concerns Plagg told him he'll be succeeded by someone else and to look at the bright side as he could be free to be with Marinette finally being able to tell her all of his secrets. Taking the ring back he and Adrien share one last glance with each other knowing they'll never forget each other before the kwami flies through the window looking for a new owner. And yet, in "Deflagration", Plagg returns to Adrien after Monarch had discovered the identity of his new owner. In "Conformation" Plagg shows how much he cares for Adrien as he was willing to disable the cameras in his white room before being asked to give his ring to Ladybug, knowing he's not in the right mind to yield it nor having no chance of escape without risking his identity.

In "Stoneheart", he teases Adrien by referring to him and Marinette as "two lovebirds". In "Dark Cupid", unaware that the Valentine's Day card came from Marinette, upon reading it Plagg comments "that anyone who writes as sickeningly sweet as you must be your soulmate." While watching Fill My Shoes in "Troublemaker", Plagg sees all the pictures of Adrien in Marinette's room, calling her another secret admirer.

In "Style Queen", Plagg officially meets Marinette and tells her of his owner's recklessness. During "Sandboy", he can see that Marinette is really close and affectionate with Tikki.

In "Weredad", Plagg liked the idea of Marinette being Adrien's girlfriend especially when she is the daughter of the best baker in Paris, quietly commenting that Marinette and Ladybug are one and the same.

In "Stormy Weather 2", when questioning Adrien's love for Ladybug again he suggested that Adrien should pick another girl. Upon examining the letter and Marinette's note, Plagg ponders the possibility of the letter being from Marinette.

While looking for Adrien, upon someone seeing him Plagg thought he found his owner but upon hearing her voice he's surprised to meet Marinette again who was transformed into Reflekta in "Reflekdoll". Then he was asked a series of questions to which he tells her it's "a long story" and helps transform her into Lady Noire. After Reflekta's defeat, he recharges the two say their goodbyes agreeing that the time they had was awesome.

With Ladybug, Plagg knows that Adrien has a crush on her and how much she means to him, but he is skeptical about Adrien's feelings, reminding him that he doesn't know who Ladybug really is underneath the mask. However, he occasionally shows that he does get behind Ladybug and Adrien becoming a couple, like being upset with Adrien not staying around to see Ladybug detransform in "Lady Wifi". In "Riposte", Plagg respects Ladybug enough that he questions if Adrien should leave the place she hid him to transform. While not caring about it beforehand, he learns her secret identity in "Dark Owl", when he finds her plan to trick Dark Owl, involving detransforming, surprising.^[1]

In "Style Queen", Plagg saves Ladybug from the villain's mercy by performing Cataclysm onto the Eiffel Tower, buying Ladybug time to defeat her. She also sees the destructive power of his Cataclysm as it breaks the Eiffel Tower and replies saying "No wonder he wasn't allowed out". When she asked about Cat Noir's safety, Plagg assured her he'd watch over him.

Aware of the rules Plagg was worried when he spilled information to Adrien risking Ladybug's identity. He was also aware that Ladybug might have a plan however upon seeing more of his kwami brothers and sisters get captured, Plagg believed that Tikki's owner had failed in "Kwamibuster". But was surprised to see her instantly recognizing her despite having a different Miraculous and was set free.

After Miracle Queen, Plagg knows that Ladybug is the Guardian of the Miracle Box as well as his siblings moving in with her and when he heard Adrien talk about what he discovered in "Rocketeer" Plagg didn't take it too hard as it was Ladybug's job to know the identity of those she chooses.

With Marinette in "Kuro Neko", Plagg gave her an earful about how much she has been hurting Cat Noir not about her love rejections but about how she made him feel left out because of the other holders. Then, he was shocked when she said she pick a new Cat Noir for him but seeing her find it impossible Plagg knew Marinette still had feelings for his owner. With no choice, Plagg convinced her to let him pick an owner but returned to Adrien instead.

Soon Plagg was aware that Ladybug lost his siblings to Monarch in "Strikeback", but bared no ill will towards her as he knew that she was very responsible with the miraculouses.

However seeing that the love between his owner and guardian was getting serious in "Transmission", but seeing their conversation go south he and Tikki go to the balcony to talk refusing see them unhappy they come an agreement about freeing their owners so they could be together. After being unparalyzed by Monarch in "Deflagration", understanding of what being captured by him meant, knowing that he was cause of Marinette's sadness, Plagg hastily tried to Cataclysm to protect his guardian's happiness. But knowing he needed her help they used their powers to call them, after he was restored he was saved by his guardian. In "Revelation", like Adrien he too was able to disbelieved Lila's lies about his guardian.

In "Conformation", Plagg flies from London to Paris after Adrien temporarily renounced his ring and among the chaos in the French capital, he manages to find her and discovers that Gabriel Agreste is Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth/Monarch, terrifying him and leaving him gulit-ridden. Despite this, he was angry and looked willing to Cataclysm him on the spot when he grabbed Marinette from her hiding spot in the kitchen. He and Tikki unify her as Bug Noire in order for her to defeat him once and for all.

In "Re-creation", after finally defeating him and de-transforms, Plagg warns her not to trust Gabriel, only for her to be paralyzed with Venom and take the jewels for himself to make a wish.

In "The Dark Owl", Plagg sees Tikki after Marinette and Adrien detransform, who shushes him when he expresses surprise. To regain his energy, Plagg accepts sharing a macaron with Tikki and they "know each other very well."^[2]

In "Sandboy", after leaving Adrien; he meets with Tikki on a rooftop affectionately calls her "Sugarcube". And yet, they both share the concern of contacting Nooroo. Before leaving Master Fu's shop again he saw that Tikki was really close and affectionate with her owner Marinette.

During "Oblivio", when Plagg loses his memory he refuses to help a couple of "strangers" despite being convinced by Tikki. Having enough when she calls him selfish and a total coward, Plagg was offended and calls himself a free spirit.

He spends brief time with Tikki in "Reflekdoll", until the two were sent flying along with the limo seeing the sentimoster's destruction, Plagg helped remind her of the task at hand and assured her that everything would be okay. But due to everyone looking the same the kwamis get their owners mixed up despite it they defeat the titular villain and sentimonster then reunite with their proper owners. When comes to anything involving cheese he doesn't always listen to Tikki is in "Kwamibuster". Upon seeing the Science teacher Plagg is told why he should listen to her. Afterwards, when Tikki opted wanting to tell their owners or at least Master Fu Plagg calmed her nerves but when it resulted in the two getting captured. He tried to get out and offered to use his Cataclsym but was halted by Tikki saying he couldn't control his powers. Plagg thought Tikki might have a plan but was saddened that she didn't and expressed hoped that her owner would.

In "Dearest Family", upon noticing a galette in the sky like his siblings, Plagg realized that Tikki was having another hunger craze and used his powers to destroy it. He did the same thing 1000 years ago when Tikki went crazy with chocolate, causing chocolate mousse to rain from the sky for two months. In "Ephemeral", both he and Tikki were taken by Hawk Moth and their combined power was activated but was undone by Sass' Second Chance.

After Ladybug and Cat Noir's separation in "Kuro Neko", Plagg saw out Tikki's aid in getting their owners back together.

Knowing that Adrien's feelings for Marinette were going stronger in "Passion", it raised Plagg's concerns urging him to talk to Tikki about what would happen if their owners got together until he was assured by her that wouldn't happened being informed of his guardian's troubles with love endeavors.

However seeing that the love between their owners was getting serious in "Transmission", but seeing their conversation go south Plagg and Tikki go to the balcony to talk refusing see them unhappy they come an agreement about freeing them so they could be together. After they receive their respected jewels back he and Tikki go to their former owner's school to pick new charges, and saw that Tikki picked Alya as her new holder. However their time with Scarabella and Kitty Noire was short-lived in "Deflagration", as they were captured by Monarch, despite them trying to escape him knowing they needed their original owners help Plagg convinced Tikki to use their powers after she summoned her lucky charm knowing that his Miraculous was unprotected he sacrificed himself to protect her and keep hope alive knowing they'll see each other again. Thanks to the resistance and Ladybug both kwamis were reunited with their owners.

In "Conformation", Plagg discovers that Gabriel Agreste is Monarch with Tikki sadly confirming it to him. She and Plagg unify Marinette as Bug Noire for her to finally take down Monarch once and for all.

After defeating him in "Re-creation", Marinette transforms back and Tikki warns her about Gabriel before she is paralyzed with Venom by him. She and Plagg are ordered to transform into their true forms before unifying as Gimmi.

Plagg and Gabriel have never met, and when Adrien suggests that his father is playing a prank on him with Plagg in "Stoneheart", Plagg adamantly warns Adrien that he can never reveal his secret identity to his father or anyone else. Although rarely commenting on it, Plagg can tell that a lot of Gabriel's actions toward Adrien make him very disappointed. The discovery of Gabriel's secret safe excites Plagg in "Volpina", though he quickly loses interest after seeing nothing interesting, other than thinking he may remember the book from somewhere.

In "The Collector", Plagg voiced concerns about Gabriel being able to see him thus revealing Adrien's identity as Cat Noir but was happy that kwamis couldn't be filmed or photographed. Like Adrien, Plagg is unaware that Gabriel is Hawk Moth, but in "Sandboy", he shudders at the idea of being discovered by him.

During "Stormy Weather 2", when Adrien expresses doubt over the possibility of his father changing, Plagg reminds Adrien of all the nice things his father has done for him and compares him to grind cheese, stating that its got a hard rind but soft inside.

Like everyone else, Plagg was aware that Hawk Moth was using Nooroo's powers for evil and was surprised to come into contact with him during Nooroo's cycle in "Sandboy".

During the second anniversary of Adrien's mother in "Ephemeral", Plagg along with Adrien, was led into a mysterious room by Gabriel, then was shock when he discovered his identity as Hawk Moth. Then, he was furious towards him for what he put his owner, his siblings, and the people of Paris through so much that he attempted to Cataclysm him in revenge but was silenced before he could, and thanks to Sass' Second Chance the knowledge was erased.

Then as of "Strikeback", Plagg is aware that the villain has his kwami siblings and their miraculouses, but he doesn't know how close they are, let alone that their enemy has a cage waiting for him when he gets captured as of "Destruction".

Then in "Kwami's Choice", knowing that Monarch's relentless hunting is the cause of his guardian's and owner's sadness, Plagg sets Adrien free allowing someone else to fight Monarch in his place. But it was short-lived as he and Tikki were briefly caught by the enemy he tried to cataclysm him but with him being protected he tried to escaped but seeing the seriousness of the situation to stop him and save those he cared about Plagg destroyed his Miraculous. After Plagg was restored and saved, thanks to Ladybug and the Resistance, he was left baffled by how he found them so quickly.

In "Conformation", Plagg learned from Marinette and Tikki that Monarch is Gabriel, terrifying him as well as leaving him gulit-ridden. Despite this, he's furious that he forced Marinette to come out of her hiding place and looked willing to Cataclysm him before he and Tikki fuse Marinette together as Bug Noire to finally stop him, which she does in "Re-creation". When Marinette offered a peaceful solution, despite the kwamis' warnings, he paralyzed her, and Plagg and Tikki are forced to reveal themselves before combining as Gimmi.
