Skip Kunisada

## Skip

Skip as an idol (made in a picrew)

**Skip Kunisada** (スズキ *Suzuki*, lit. Sea Bass), is a major antagonist turned supporting character in the concept fangame Project Splatoon. She is an Octoling, and currently resides in Inkopolis Square as the host of the news with the other two members of the Vicious Wave Squad. However, she was formerly a respected member of the Octarian Army who worked directly under DJ Octavio. Her signature color is grey, but she is sometimes depicted with black and white color schemes.

She is an OC created by sn0wcake/Snowflake Is Bored and is also voiced by them.

## Appearance

### Octarian Army

Skip's outfit is essentially the same as most other Octolings. Her hair is grey and tied up in a ponytail. She also wears a black cloth headband around her head, which has a white pattern design on it. She also occasionally wears a gray mask over her nose and mouth.

### Idol

Skip now wears what appears to be a faux leather jacket with pins on the collar that depict the faces of herself, Katrina, and Lida. One of the pins also depicts the Vicious Wave Squad logo, and another depicts a sea bass. She also wears a black skirt, and black socks that reach below the knee, with black boots. She no longer wears her headband or mask, and now wears white headphones. She also now has a small scar on her nose from her boss fight.

## History

Skip was born into the Octarian Army (This section is unfinished. So unfinished. I'll finish it someday.)

## Personality

When Skip was a member of the Octarian army, she was shown to be very brash and rude, with a sharp tongue and was incredibly careless. She was also very paranoid, especially of any perceived abandonment, and this caused her to seem very loyal especially to Octavio. She also seemed to enjoy physical violence and treated it as her go-to strategy in situations where she was stressed or otherwise unable to think straight or formulate a plan.

After becoming an idol, her personality changed quite a lot over time, but not completely. She became far less actively rude and hurtful, more so sarcastic and occasionally careless with the way she speaks; however, it is still clear that she cares about other people. When she is stressed or put under pressure, she can sometimes show parts of her old self, especially when she feels at risk of being left alone.

## Trivia

* Her early designs were based on sn0wcake's Splatoon 3 Octoling.
* Snowy once had a dream people were calling her an Octavio simp. This ship would be really bad if anybody actually shipped it because she's 19 and he's hundreds of years old and also, he's her boss and she considered him to be like her father, so please don't ship that please and thank you.
	+ Related to this, Skip is canonically in love with Katrina, though she does not reciprocate it.
* She seems to be in some way related to sea bass, as she has bass motifs in her name and one of the pins on her jacket depicts a sea bass.
* She mains Dualies.

## Etymology

"Skip" comes from "skipping", a technique used in bass fishing, as well as the word skip meaning "to move along lightly". Kunisada is a Japanese surname roughly meaning "loyalty to a nation". Her Japanese name Suzuki literally means "sea bass".
