Finally! I will say now that the class girls will likely take a long time as well.
Kagami's first and second looks here are meant to be her pre and post character development outfits.
Buckle in, this is a long (haha) one
Kagami in cannon is clearly designsed to resemble Marinette in a lot of ways, both are of Asian decent and have blue-ish hair and blue eyes. Both have freckles and even their suits share a very similar color pallet. At least Luka was different from Adrien in more than personality.
I didn't want that for my Kagami. I wanted her too look like more than a Marinette clone. So she gets to keep her freckles since my Marinette doesn't have any. Her hair is a darker color instead of a blue, and her eyes take on a stormy grey color. And of course their body types are different, namely Kagami is both taller and ripped.
Ryuko's hair is more blue since I gave the miraculous blue, white, and gold accent to match the weather pattern on her chest. Her hair get's shorter, pinned back and is a bit more wild. It's probably got some static. Little horns and some armor to keep her extra safe as well as further resembling scales. Her suit is closer to an orange shade than Ladybug's cool red. I almost switched her to blue since I agree with the sentiment that the dragon should have been blue. But red looked good too.
I don't particularly like any of the akuma designs for Kagami. I like Oni-Chan in concept at least (hate the name) so I decided to combine that with Riposte to create her initial design. Than she gets a pallet swap and a few thorny details to represent the rose. And Bara-Oni, literally just 'Rose Demon' I ain't creative, when Lila pulls her stunt.
Kagami's personality is very similar to cannon, however her character still has some pretty harsh changes. Kagami has come to realse through Adrien and Marinette's friendship that she isn't very happy with her life. Her mother is trying to live through her, forcing Kagami to participate in fencing and putting pressure on her to perform perfectly in every aspect of life.
This comes to a head when she is given Longg. While sitting in the akumatized mech her mother became, all because she had the audacity to make friends, she actually waits long (haha) enough for Longg to explain the miraculous. When Long explains the weapon he points out that she must be thrilled to have a sword. At which point Kagami was an emotional breakdown and sobs that she doesn't even like sword fighting. That she would rather learn hand to hand combat and that she's wanted to switch for years but her mother refused to hear it.
Longg says her can change her weapon to better suit her, and she get's armor and the abilitly to summon gauntlets when her power activates.
After having this break she and Adrien sit down and try and find ways for Kagami to feel more like an individual without being disowned at 16. Cutting/dyeing your hair and getting a Tattoo are two of the results, and since Kagami already has short hair and doens't really want to go shorter she gets the tattoo instead. Subtly referencing her time as Ryuko in blue (her favorite color). And of course her mother is blind and doesn't know
Is it kind of shitty to abuse your mother's disability to use her money and get a tattoo? Maybe. But that's what you get for mentally and emotionally warping your duaghter to the point where she lies about her favorite color to please you. She, Adrien, and Chloe are in the "Our mom's suck" club together. Chloe will be collecting her for new wardrobe shopping.

RYUKO REDESIGN
holy FUCK i had SO MUCH FUN DRAWING THIS OH MY GOD okay. Here's my redesign of Ryuko from Miraculous! I really wanted to accentuate, I suppose, a more personal design to Kagami? I saw a redesign of Ryuko once where she wore like a hakama and I thought that was neat so I took some inspiration from that.
I was inspired by AKIRA and also Ryuko Matoi for, oh wow, un, unexplainable, reasons. You can see the Kill La Kill sorta undercut hair dye. Also, her hair is a sorta purplish wine in mixture with her canon blue and my original idea of going brown instead like her concept art and deciding both was good.
Also- Don't ask how that jacket/shirt/suit actually works. Jotaro Hat logic. You don't question it. Meanwhile drawing the skirt details were REALLY fun
I hope you like her! it's a bit of a complex design but, hey, I like em

The kiddos!
There's so many of them, I had to expand the canvas several times. I'm gonna do some of the adults too. There's only 14 of them I think they should be faster. Individuals and some notes are under cut.
Additional notes!
Alix and Adrien have an undercut
Nathaniel has braces
Luka's piercings: both earlobes, right eyebrow, and a helix on his right ear (the newest one).
Marinette, Kim, and Nino have friendship bracelets, they made them when they were 12
Mylene's bracelet and necklace are amethyst, her birthstone
The Couffaines have matching tattoos on their wrist
Alya has a little tooth gap
Luka also paints his nails, but he bites the nail polish off (lol same)

I got around to my favourite character (Kagami), Lukas cool too but not Kagami
I also just remembered that the sword holder is called a sheath not a holster while posting this
I hit an art block between these two so it took a little longer then usual

Bonus- My ryuko redesign with the blue color pallet. It's a bit more monochrome than I would prefer but I think with a slight chnage in the hair shade I would be happy. Naturally since the main suit is now blue I changed the beads from blue to red.

(I know NOW that it was supposed to be pourpre, not purple, but I got a lil too invested in the color scheme.) These two might be an unconventional duo, but there’s a method to the madness here, I swear. (Not Ryuko looking like a whole new character here oof…)

Paradise, Delphyne
Tumblr media
Kagami as Delphyne in Paradise.
This design took quite the turn. Originally she was supposed to follow the colors of canon Ryuko, but didn't like how the coloring was looking. I shifted to a more nature look, looking up references and ideas for nature dragons. In that search, I found dragons with colors and designs of flowers. That's when I leaned more into a soft, yet harsh combination of colors to make her resemble some semblance of a flower. All and all, I like these colors more.
As for her name, I decided to double down on the usage of Greek mythological figures. For Kagami, that was Delphyne, the half girl and half dragon/serpent whose mother was Gaea that was tasked with guarding the oracle of Delphi. This account does vary as there are many different versions and variants of who exactly Delphyne was and her role in mythology.
