Xavier-Yves Roth, better known as XY, is a famous pop star and Jagged Stone's biggest rival in the music making business. He is Chloé's favorite singer, as stated in "Guitar Villain". His father is the producer Bob Roth.
Appearance[]
Physical appearance[]
XY is tall with light skin, blond hair styled to stick upwards, and blue eyes.
Civilian attire[]
He wears a purple camouflage headband that is tied in the back of his head. His jacket is purple, having white with a thin black line in the middle cuffs, bottom, and collar, and he wears it over a white t-shirt with a low collar. He wears a light purple belt with a golden buckle, pale blue jeans, and gray tennis shoes. He also wears a gold chain necklace with a large gold "XY" symbol hanging from it.
Personality[]
XY is arrogant, vain, and rude, believing himself to be the best and looking down at anyone who isn't as popular as him. He carelessly insults his rivals in the music industry, and he doesn't take warnings seriously, even when they come from the superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir. When his life is being threatened, though, he freaks out and loses his overconfident nature. He is also lazy as he does not even try to do anything original or work related, believing it's easier to let someone else do all the work and then take the credit.
Abilities[]
He is good at making music that people enjoy, as he has amassed considerable fame. However, this is questionable, considering he planned to have a music engineer and hologram of himself to play a supposedly live concert. It is revealed in "Silencer" that he doesn't actually make much of his music but instead he copies it from inspiration.
Relationships[]
Jagged Stone[]
XY doesn't like Jagged very much, thinking that he is too "old-fashioned" to perform. However, when he as Guitar Villain comes to get revenge on him for insulting him during a TV interview, XY panics and pleads with him to spare his life.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug and Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir[]
When Ladybug and Cat Noir come to warn XY about Guitar Villain, XY does not take their warning seriously and ignores it until it is too late.
