Coral

Coral is a supporting character in Fresh Start, and is one of the members of Tidal Age. They were raised in the Octarian Military, before escaping to the surface and starting a band with their best friend, Nigiri.

## Appearance

Coral is a 19-year-old octoling, with a coral pink color scheme. Their "hair", which is coral-pink with a white gradient, is mostly shaved, with 1 long tentacle framing their face on the left, and the other 3 being pulled into a bun at the back. Similarly to most inklings, they have two sharp teeth located on the top of their beak, and one on the bottom, located in the center of their mouth. They have large eyes with green irises and mint green, x-shaped pupils. They have somewhat large, round ears, and somewhat angular eyebrows. A long scar goes over their left eye, cutting a slit through their left eyebrow as well.

When performing, they wear a sleeveless white button-down shirt and black shorts over coral-colored tights. Their shorts have a teal, x-shaped marking on either side, and they wear wrist-length fingerless gloves in their signature color. A pair of dark reddish-brown boots with white laces adorn their feet, and they accessorize their look with multiple ear piercings and a decorative headpiece shaped like a fan coral.

When not on-stage, Coral wears large glasses and their hair is braided out of their face. They wear a red hoodie over a black tank top, and a pair of black leggings with teal slip-on shoes.

During a splatfest, the coral pink color in their hair and outfit change to the color of the team they're representing, and the teal on their shorts and boots change to the opposite team's color.

## History

### Before Fresh Start

Coral was raised in the Octarian Army, and was present for Agent 3's battle against DJ Octavio. They were freed by the Calamari Inkantation, and deserted the army to head for the surface. Along the way, they met another freed octoling, Nigiri, who formed an alliance with them. They got separated on the way to the surface, and continued on their own. They began posting some of their own music online, although they never garnered many followers.

### Fresh Start: Part I

After Agent 8 escaped the metro, Coral and Nigiri reunited on the surface after running into each other at a club. Nigiri hadn't made his way to the surface, as Coral had thought, but had instead fallen into the Deepsea metro and been partially sanitized. He didn't remember Coral, although they seemed familiar to him. They began hanging out again, and eventually, Nigiri began to regain his memories of Coral. They formed a band, and began performing around Inkopolis.

## Trivia

* Coral's preferred main weapon is the Jet Squelcher.
	+ Their preferred weapon set is a custom set which they modified from a secondhand that they had bought shortly after coming to the surface. This set is called the Reef Squelcher, and uses Fizzy Bombs as a sub and Booyah Bomb as its special.
* Coral is near-sighted, and usually wears glasses.
	+ They usually wear contacts onstage, because the band's producer thinks it looks better.
* While they never gained many followers on their own, their most popular song from before reuniting with Nigiri was *Bittersweet*.
* During their solo career, they posted music under the name "Choral".
