Alya Hides Her Feelings In Russian Light Novel

Alya...Secretly a Tsundere? (My Hot Take)

Okay, hear me out. We all love Alya Césaire. She's the best friend, the voice of reason, and basically runs the Ladyblog. But I have a slightly controversial opinion. And it involves Russian light novels.

Specifically, the fictional one where Alya *totally* hides her feelings. I'm talking full-blown "I-it's not like I like you or anything, baka!" energy.

Evidence (Presented Poorly, But Passionately)

Think about it. She's always pushing Marinette and Adrien together. Too much, maybe? Is it possible she's deflecting?

Like, "Oh, look at these two dorks, too oblivious to realize they're perfect for each other!" But really, she's thinking, "Please don't notice *my* crush."

And the way she talks about Ladybug. "She's so cool! Brave! An inspiration!" Okay, Alya, we get it. You admire her. But is there...more?

The Russian Light Novel Parallel

This is where the deeply buried Alya-is-a-secret-tsundere theory comes in. Imagine a light novel. Alya's the childhood friend of the super popular, oblivious protagonist.

She helps him (Adrien, perhaps?) navigate school and crushes. All while secretly harboring feelings she's too afraid to admit.

Cue dramatic misunderstandings, accidental hand-holding, and lots of internal monologues about how annoying he is. But secretly, she thinks he's the best.

Why Russian Light Novels?

Okay, the Russian part is just for fun. It adds a layer of mysterious intrigue, right? I’m picturing a title something like: "My Best Friend is a Superhero and Also I Secretly Like Him (Duma Edition)".

But light novels in general are full of tropes. Tsunderes are practically mandatory! It's the perfect genre for hiding your feelings behind a wall of witty banter and exasperated sighs.

I bet if Alya wrote her *own* Ladybug-themed light novel, the love interest would be a carbon copy of someone she knows very well. Just saying!

The Counter-Arguments (I've Thought About Them)

Yes, yes, I know. She's just supportive. She wants her friends to be happy. Blah, blah, blah.

But come on! A little bit of romantic angst makes everything more interesting. And wouldn't it be a great twist?

Plus, haven't you ever suspected *your* friend was secretly crushing on someone? It's relatable! We all hide our feelings sometimes.

So, What's the Verdict?

Maybe I'm completely wrong. Maybe Alya is just a good friend. But I choose to believe there's a tiny, Russian light novel-esque tsundere hiding deep inside her.

It makes her even more endearing! A strong, independent woman who's also secretly a softie. We love to see it.

What do you think? Am I crazy? Or is Alya ready to star in her own romance anime (with a Russian twist, obviously)? Let me know!
