Character Concept
Margaery was first conceptualized as Marinette's cousin from her mother's side before shifting to her father's side to emphasize a lot of her characteristics. Her mother was first conceptualized as a Japanese rather than a French. Her occupation as a model was crossed out as to not overshadow the Agreste family, yet her mysterious connection to the matriarch still remained in her essence.
Another concept was not her having any relations to any original characters. She was supposedly a figure of legends, even outside of Master Fu's knowledge. On both concepts, she was at her early twenties and running a secret organization where all Miraculous holders gather. Her attitude toward different situations vary, rendering her an unpredictable and formidable foe to her opponents.

As a civilian
Margaery Dupain has long, black hair that is usually braided over her shoulder. Her eyes were sapphire-blue that when light reflected on them, turn into a lighter shade of ocean blue. She is much taller than Marinette with a slim, athletic frame. She usually wears fake, square eyeglasses and a white dress with strips of black and red at the sides, black leggings, and a pair of brown boots. Sometimes, she is seen wearing a simple white shirt and pants while retaining her boots.
When she was younger, Margaery had a noticeable shorter hair that only reached down to her neck. Her usual outfit consisted of a black long-sleeved shirt with a silver dog paw print, white shorts, and a grey sneakers. Marinette stated that she hated wearing anything 'girlish' and would throw a fit whenever she was forced to wear one.
As Suzaku
Her appearance changes drastically as Suzaku. Her hair becomes increases in length while retaining hairstyle. Her sapphire-blue eyes turns into a striking gold. Golden wing-like appendages covered her ears in a flight motion. Her clothing is composed of a suit of yellow with a collared coat that splits and spreads out into three sections, similar to a tail. A white section runs at the front and three belts round around her waist. Two tight, red bands are wrapped around on her left thigh and right arm. Her gloves and boots are brown with lines running diagonally across it. Behind her back, her wings were twice her height and were gold in color with the tips dipped in sunset orange and fiery red. Her daggers were hidden within her wings and do not ran out of supply in battle.
Personality
As Margaery Dupain
According to Marinette, Margaery acts like a tomboy when they were young. She often get into fights primarily because of Marinette being bullied by other children. She was shown to be protective of Marinette, driving her to become reckless for the purpose to protect her. She often act tough and was shown to even stand up against adults. Because of her rebellious personality, she was always sent into detention in school or scolded by her parents.
Five years later, her temperamental and rough attitude seemingly toned down. Marinette commented on how refined and feminine she become. She speaks in gentler, if not cheerful, manner and acts in a more polite manner to everyone, regardless of their background. She is more easy-going and friendly which easily attracts new friends. She become more mature and no longer rushes into danger without a second thought. Master Fu once said that it may have been a result of her strict training as the chosen holder of the Phoenix Miraculous.

Relationships
Renaii
Initially, Margaery and Renaii have a frigid relationship. Their clashing personalities often lead them into quarrels that could last for days.
"She [Margaery] and Renaii never get along the first year they met. Whenever they fight, Wayzz would often come running to me in fear, as if the world is ending. The only times they get along were when the country [Japan] needed saving...and kicking villains out if they disturbed their sleep or meal."
