====New====
*Acid Rain
**Acid, a green Inkling Boy who is the leader of Acid Rain, he is known to give his team ideas if they are not from Toxi. He was known as a top delinquent and kicked out of all of his schools. When he began Turf Battles, he was usually the lone Wolf. His teammates would hate this when they would call for help and he wouldn't show. He would even leave his team in battle if there were enemies coming. When he formed his own team, he wanted to change his acts and be a good leader. His team, minus Polo, are just like him in the past; cold, heartless, and ruthless. With his new team, he is now carefree and goofy, looking like a whole new man. Due to this, he has a small crush on Faria, a girl on the Love Blossoms Team. (Note: He's based on an official nameless inkling boy with the spiked comb back hairstyle from the game, not an OC)
**Polo, a lime Inkling Boy who is the clumsy and shy member of the team. He tends to make constant mistakes and will get nagged about it by his sister, Chemi. Polo always had to deal with being last and unloved by everyone. His own Father even ignores him and pays more attention to his sister, which is rare since his sister hates him. His life has always been a wreck, but he always tries to smile it out and keep it behind him. When he joined Acid Rain, he was usually a mess, but Acid always had faith in him, making Polo have something worth winning. (Note: He's based on an official nameless inkling boy with the original ponytail hairstyle from the game, not an OC) 
**Toxi, a blue Inkling Girl who is the smartest one in the group and tends to show it in many ways. Before she joined the team, she had a troubling life with her family. Her mother was alone and fell ill a lot, having little time to care for Toxi. Toxi was an amazing artist and was accepted to an art school, only to be picked on by the other students who would be jealous of her. She left when she was 14 and joined the team years later. She meets Leon, a member of the Love Blossoms, and has a rivalry together. He constantly flirts with him and she does it right back, just to mess with him. (Note: She's based on an official nameless inkling girl with the knotted tentacle hairstyle from the game, not an OC)
**Chemi, a purple Inkling Girl who is the bossy one. She can be pretty mean to boys, due to her hatred for it. Her past was always a blur, grew up hating men, constantly attend sports to beat men, started an anti-boy club in highschool...what a girl. She doesn't think of Acid as the leader, but Toxi as it. She abuses her step brother, Polo, and curses out her step father. It is unknown to why she hates men, but due to all this, she has a girlfriend and spend time with her every day when she is not training with her team. (Note: She's based on an official nameless inkling girl with the original two long tentacles hairstyle from the game, not an OC)
*Love Blossoms
**Cheren, a purple Inkling Boy who is the leader of the team, he is the smartest and plans out all of the strategies. He struggles when it comes to schedules, since he attends school and turf battles. His past wasn't all that exciting. He grew up in a wealthy family who gave him the best and gave him the best teachers. When he was 12, he was able to pass highschool classes with ease. He took a break from school for a few years and studies at home, keeping himself locked in the house. When he met Rose, the two formed a team, which they named Love blossoms due to their names. (Cheren, aka Cherry. Rose, blossoms. Cherry blossoms, a symbol of love...get it?) Cheren grew up with Acid and have always been on a on and off friendship, mainly due to a past that they do not like to speak about. (Note: He's based on an official nameless inkling boy with the ponytail and tentacle bang hairstyle from the game, not an OC)
**Leon, a yellow Inkling Boy known as the play boy and Mr. Flirt, Leon is the ultimate ladies man. He grew up with model parents and became a model when he was a little squid, being on baby commercials, posters, magazines, and much more. As he got older, he became more distant towards people, due to the ladies and the men who would come and beat him down...or try to do things to his body. His trust on strangers was gone and he was usually wearing a mask, hoodie and glasses. When he met Cheren, he began to change back to his old self and got out of his shell, being the flamboyant flirt we all know and love. Attention is his life again, but he still runs away from the old men. (Note: He's based on an official nameless inkling boy with the buzz cut hairstyle from the game, not an OC)
**Rose, a lime Inkling Girl who is known as the "Mother" in the group, Roseis always giving everyone a smile. She tends to defend everyone she knows, especially her teammates. If anyone insults them, she goes full mama mode and will defend her babies as much as possible. Besides her motherly self, she tends to mess with Cheren and will help him when it comes to studying. He is a year older than her, but sometimes she acts like the older one. She grew up with four younger siblings and their mother wasn't really around, so the motherly personality came from that. (Note: She's based on an official nameless inkling girl with the asymmetric with the one long, curled tentacle hairstyle from the game, not an OC)
**Faria, a pink Inkling Girl who is the newest member in the team. Faria is a shy girl who always feels like she made a mistake. When she is really shy, she goes full stutter mode and will fidget her fingers. Going against Acid Rain the first time made her uneasy, and she has a major fear of Acid. She grew up with her grandparents in a little village and moved to Inkopolis to start a new life and to see where her parents grew up. She thinks of Cheren and Rose as her new parents if anything, and Leon as the annoying pervy big brother. (Note: She's based on an official nameless inkling girl with the short bob tentacle hairstyle from the game, not an OC)

==Trivia==
*The film takes place 2 months after the events of the first film.
*Octavia is deceased, but we can still hear her singing voice in certain scenes.
*Travis is voiced by Bill Skarsgård, he is the actor of Pennywise from It (2017), there is a scene where Lil is trying to hide from the Octarians, when she sees Travis is in the sewer holding a red balloon, that is a reference to Pennywise and Bill Skarsgård was the voice behind Travis.
*The story of the sequel is primarily focused on Aqua as a main character, than other characters. Much a similar vanes to other animated sequels/spin-offs that consists of supporting characters portraying as main characters, such as some of the Disney animated sequels/prequels/spin-offs, as well as Pixar’s Monsters University and Finding Dory, and the sequels/prequels based on Don Bluth classics like The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue and Bartok the Magnificent.
