But their very concept is unnecessary one. Adrien doesn't need another girl that likes him, what he needs is a genuine friend besides Nino (who he's actually been spending less time with this season just so that Kagami can be credible love rival, in fact Adrien has been spending less time around other characters in general) which they didn't even need to a new character for this, they could have just had him talk with the other guys in his class more.
Ditto for Marinette and Luka, she doesn't need him, and if anything he's just forcing her character to walk back from any minute development that she got. And then stagnanting it.
Their personalities are nothing to write home about and doesn't excuse their worthlessness as characters. The last show that I saw that had characters like Kagami and Luka had the sense to only keep them around for one season and made it so that they wouldn't get in the way of the development of other characters.
