Pollen is the kwami of Subjection who is connected to the Bee Miraculous. With her power, Pollen's wearer can use the hair comb of the Bee Miraculous to transform into a bee-themed Miraculous holder.
Whenever she is not active, Pollen's Miraculous lays dormant in Master Wang Fu's Miracle Box, whilst she herself resides inside the box with the other inactive kwamis.
As of "Style Queen" and other episodes, Pollen and her Miraculous temporarily become active. Her occasional owner is ChloƩ Bourgeois who sometimes uses the Bee Miraculous to transform into the superheroine Queen Bee to help Ladybug and Cat Noir protect and keep the citizens of Paris safe from danger, as well as defeating akumatized villains.
When the situation requires it, she temporarily becomes active to help ZoƩ Lee to transform into the superhero Vesperia.
Personality[]
Pollen appears to have a formal and polite personality, greeting Tikki and Plagg as "the noble kwamis of creation and destruction" as shown in "Sandboy".
As shown in "Style Queen", "Queen Wasp", and "Malediktator", she is very submissive, obedient, and respectful towards her owner, as she calls ChloƩ "My Queen" and how she promptly transforms her into Queen Bee, despite it meaning everyone getting to know the latter's identity.
She is very polite and proper, referring to ChloƩ as "my queen".
Despite being submissive and obedient, Pollen isn't afraid to speak up as she tried to convince ChloƩ not to use her powers for evil. Showing that like Tikki, she tries to be very responsible with her powers and encourages her wielders to do the same.
