An AU Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction
"I don't need to roar. The world needs someone to listen."
In the city of Paris, heroes rise with flash and fire-but what happens when the world needs something gentler?
Cece Marais is quiet. Too quiet for the city, some say. After the mysterious disappearance of her parents, she retreats to the sleepy countryside with more grief than she knows how to carry. But one morning, tucked among eggshells and sunlight, she finds a glowing cowbell and a Kwami named Moozette-a guardian spirit tied to peace, healing, and the legacy of a forgotten Miraculous.
Chosen to restore broken hearts instead of break enemies, Cece transforms into Belle Bovina, the gentle protector of emotional harmony. Her powers are not loud-but they are powerful. With every lullaby, every touch of grace, she helps soothe the wounds no one else can see.
But darkness is stirring.
A villain known only as Lachrymora weaves shadows from sorrow, searching for the one heart she couldn't corrupt: Cece's. And in the city's golden glow, another secret flickers-a boy with night in his eyes, a past tied to hers, and a Miraculous of his own.
With Ladybug and Cat Noir still guarding the world, both in their early 20s, Belle Bovina steps into a different kind of light-one where softness is strength, stillness is sacred, and even the most fragile soul can shine.
