When Marinette walked into school the next day, court in tow, she decided she shouldn't have been surprised.

Almost every single class was wearing white sweaters. Even some teachers were.

Unsurprisingly, the Akuma class did not wear the white sweaters, though Nino, Kim, and Juleka were wearing black jackets, the equivalent of 'I support you, though I'm being forced not to', a sign that Marinette had created in the chance that some bullies' victims were being forced to not show their support. Very few actually knew about this exception, so the bullies never picked up on it.

The Akuma class were all sporting orange sweaters, with Lila in the middle of them, wearing a long-sleeve dress that hugged her shoulders and upper half but loosened as it traveled down her body. With it, she had paired black leggings and brown boots. All in all, it was actually a beautiful outfit. 

Marinette was almost surprised but had expected her to wear something to try to outdo Marinette and her court, and Lila had Gabriel Agreste in her corner, giving her access to somewhat decent clothes because whether he looked like a literal candy cane or not, the man was a famous fashion designer, and Marinette had respected and idolized him for a reason.

Marinette and her court decided to look away and instead focus on the people who did wear the white sweaters.

She sat down in the cafeteria as Alix, Sabrina, and Chloé forced people into a line.

One by one, Marinette handed out the violet pins, reciting her vow for handing out the pins.

"Violets represent loyalty, devotion, faithfulness, and modesty. By wearing this pin, you show your undying loyalty and devotion to the Queen and her court. You will not act without modesty in anything. You will not hold people below you, but instead, bring them up. Do not take off this pin, or you will be counted as a traitor, and all with the pin, including the Queen and her court, will see you as a target. Furthermore, refrain from speaking or interacting with our targets as much as possible."

After that, Marinette would smile at them saying, "Remember, your Queen loves each one of her subjects, and will not hesitate to protect them. Welcome to my kingdom."
