—XY, "Guitar Villain" | ||
Xavier-Yves Roth, better known as XY, is a minor antagonist of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. He is a famous pop star and Jagged Stone's biggest rival in the music making business. He is Chloé Bourgeois's favorite singer, as stated in "Guitar Villain". He is the son of Bob Roth.
Appearance
Physical appearance
XY is a tall young man with long pointed blond hair styled upwards, fair skin, 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 he believes is less popular than 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 overconfidence. He is also lazy as he does not even attempt to do anything original or work related, believing it is easier to allow someone else do all the work before taking all the credit.
He also assumes that his father will get him out of any legal problems he has, which leads him to boast in public about his cheating habits. He is so dependent on his father that he cannot function unless his father tells him what to say or do.
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.

XY meets Guitar Villain.

XY and Bob Roth being confronted by Marinette and Luka.
In "Silencer", when he stole Kitty Section's designs and music, XY was confronted by Marinette and Luka for plagiarism. After Marinette furiously confronted him for stealing Luka's music, he says to her that he was just "inspired" by them, which is obviously not true. He and Bob Roth also rejected Marinette's offer to do the right thing.
In "Guitar Villain", 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.
Bob Roth
XY embarrasing himself and Bob Roth.
XY and his style are admired by Bob, who attempted to get Jagged to change his style to be more similar to that of XY.
"Silencer" revealed that Bob and XY are father and son. Due to the two being fond of plagiarism to achieve success, they get along very well. This also proves that XY is constantly spoiled by his father, who chooses not to educate his son about morals or ethics in entertainment business.
In "Illusion", Bob has shown that he is embarrassed of his son when the latter of which was asked about Monarch, it gets worse when Nadja Chamack asked him about how he feels about the situation, ignoring the fact that he keeps ignoring the questions when he brings up XY he is too embarrased to call XY his son.
Cat Noir
In "Guitar Villain", 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.

But Chloé, unlike XY, is shown to gradually redeem herself and be more good and likable, while XY is still arrogant and rude.
- However, Chloé eventually becomes even more unlikable than she was initially in "The Battle of the Miraculous", where she becomes Hawk Moth's ally of her own free will and even allows him to akumatize her. Since then Chloé has become much worse then XY ever was.
