I just wanted to share a bit of this interesting dream I had last night 'cause I thought it was a little funny but interesting.
So, for whatever reason, last night my realistic dream got interrupted with an animated Miraculous Ladybug dream basically giving me Chrysalis's backstory, explains why she crashes out, and Lila's "real name". ššš
In short, Lila became Chrysalis because she lost her real parents. Her real mom came to the "school" to help explain what happened because it is a sensitive subject for her and surprisingly a good portion of the class already knew the story but not everyone. Mrs.Bustier's class helps explain to me that Lila had a troubled childhood with a lack of interaction from kids her age because of her parents.
Apparently, her parents weren't getting along or something and were deciding to split over some issue unrelated to the family that they couldn't find an agreement on and Lila was being raised up to fulfill her role/duties as some kind of "guardian" of sorts or something. (Idk, that part wasn't super clear š)
Only, now Lila was distraught because her parents were separating. And then her dad somehow saves her and she has to witness her real dad falling off a cliff. So now she doesn't get the support she needs and that explains the crash outs when her plans fail. (Keep in mind she's still Chrysalis, only everyone knows and still tries to stop her from completing her goals but now with sympathy because they know her past and don't know how to navigate that.)
Then, they decide to tell me her "real" name. Apparently that name is Gwym. š³ no idea what it means if it were a real word but it definitely seemed to hold some sort of deeper meaning. I thought that was interesting but a little funny because in the dream, Chrysalis showed me (and the class) her true appearance and it was basically just Chrysalis in a more 'civilian' outfit with the appearance of a little kid, but her "real" hair looks very similar to when she's transformed as Chrysalis, just more like a judge's wig that has two big curls that go inward above her head. šš¤£
I woke myself up after that because it just looked kinda ridiculous and I could quite help laughing at the hair. šš¤£
But her "story" was kind of inspiring in a weird way? It really felt like she had some actual destiny that she was born to fulfill. It kinda got me thinking into what Chrysalis's backstory really is and what kind of potential this dream has for a fan-fiction about it. So I just wanted to see what everyone thinks about if Chrysalis had a back story kind of like this and if this is possibly inspiring enough (for anyone) to write a fanfic like this. I might possibly do one myself but I also just wanted to see your theories (silly or serious).
Also, keep in mind that I didn't quite go into full details, so if you have questions, feel free to ask. I hope this inspires someone out there as it did me. š¤
