How much of a role do the temp heroes have in the story?
Ah yeah, another issue I’ve been eager to explain!
Due to an event that scatters the Miraculous in the mid-season 2 finale (won’t elaborate too much for spoilers’ sake) there technically aren’t any temp heroes. It takes some of them a while to find/obtain their miraculous, but once they do, they keep it permanently (with the exceptions of… certain characters, who end up losing their miraculous because of… special circumstances).
In terms of importance, that largely depends on the character, when they got their Miraculous, and their connection to the greater plot.
Some of the more important non-LB & CN heroes (in general order of appearance) include: Bunnyx (adult form), Turquoise (one of the special characters who stops using their miraculous… 😈), Carapace, Queen Bee, Night Light, Rena Rouge, Greyhound, Ryuko, Bunnyx (teen form), and Viperion.
Caprikid, Tigress Violette, Polymouse, Pigment, Rooster Bold, Minotaurox, Sir Steed (Pegasus got a name change), and Roi Singe aren’t nearly as relevant, but will get their own debut episodes and the occasional focus as well.
Thank you for the ask!
