Girl Squad (Miraculous Ladybug)

Girl Squad is the friend ship between Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Alya Césaire, Rose Lavillant, Juleka Couffaine, Mylène Haprèle and Alix Kubdel from the Miraculous Ladybug fandom.

Canon
All six girls are members of Miss Bustier's class at Collège Françoise Dupont. While their friendship seems to have begun with Marinette and Alya and Juleka and Rose, slowly they came together to form one big friend group. They have been shown to support each other on multiple occasions, and are often shown hanging out together both inside and outside of school. They often spend time together in Marinette's bedroom, helping her with her fashion projects or attempting to plan ways for her and Adrien Agreste to get together. They are also often seen together on the Couffaine's houseboat with the rest of their classmates, watching Kitty Section performances.

In season two, Alya invites all the girls over to Marinette's house to fill them in on a "big scoop". She reveals that Marinette has a crush on Adrien, and everyone says that they already know; it was incredibly obvious. Still, the Girl Squad decides to concoct a foolproof plan to get Marinette and Adrien on a romantic date. Although it doesn't work out, they all remind Marinette that they're there for her, and will keep trying. In another episode, all six of the girls go to an audition to appear in a famous singer's music video. When Marinette is offered the role of Ladybug, she turns it down out of fear that it will reveal her identity. The girls encourage her to take the role and, in the end, she relents.

The Girl Squad cares very deeply for Marinette, as shown through the ways they continue to assist her with her crush on Adrien. In the fourth season episode "Gang of Secrets", all five girls are akumatized when Marinette closes herself off from them. She's worried about her secret identity as Ladybug, but as she cannot explain this the other girls feel as though she isn't being a very good friend.

As Ladybug, and the keeper of the Miraculous, Marinette has the opportunity to hand out miraculous to those that she trusts. Starting with Alya receiving the miraculous of the fox, each member of the Girl Squad is eventually inducted into the French Superhero team. This shows that Marinette trusts her friends innately, both with the secret of the miraculous and to watch her back. While Marinette knows the secret identities of every member of the team (save for Cat Noir), Alya is the only member of the Girl Squad who currently knows Ladybug's identity. It is possible that Future Alix has been made aware of Ladybug's identity, but this has not been confirmed.

Fanon
Miraculous fans love the friendship energy that Marinette has with her Girl Squad, who each end up becoming part of her Miraculous hero team. When season two had Alya be given the Fox Miraculous and season 3 revealed that Alix will be entrusted with the Rabbit Miraculous in the future, it wasn't surprising that the other three members of their group would be given miraculouses as well. This was something that Miraculous fans were hoping for.

From time to time, people like to add Kagami and Zoé to the group, due to their friendship with Marinette, and feel that the rest of her friends will accept the two girls into their squad. Kagami and Zoé have already spent time with them, and with the rest of their friends outside the all girls group.
