Yvonne

## Description

Yvonne has 2 yellow tentacles in front of her face that hang to her chin with one inside suction cup each. Her yellow bangs are straight with a cut in the center. On the top left side of her head, she has one short tentacle fading from yellow to teal, with one large outside suction cup. Her two back tentacles are fully teal and are tight to the back of her head, with the ends springing out toward the side where her head ends. They both have one large suction cup towards their base. Her eyebrows are yellow and circular and are placed in a position that can make her seem worried. Her skin is a medium brown and is often accompanied by dark blush and lipstick. Her eyes are dark teal with a lighter 4-pointed star shaped pupil. Their eye mask is not connected but comes to a point over her nose. Over her eye mask, she has teal eyelashes which fade into a darker blue. On the bottom corner of her eyes, she has sharp black eyelashes which come off her face in points. Her ears are long and rounded but fold themselves backwards as to not prevent Yvonne from standing close to somebody without poking them. Like her Octoling mother, only her left ear has an imprint. Their fingers are square and fade into yellow on her left hand and blue on her right. Her palms are slightly lighter than her skintone.

She sports a dark teal shirtdress with a black and white triangle-patterned belt over it. Under her dress, she wears a black tank top with long sleeves that hang off her shoulders. She wears a two-toned necklace representing her heritage. On both arms, she wears fishnet gloves to match her friends and coworkers, ASTEREO. Her leggings match her ink color. Her sneakers are light grey with white soles and dark teal laces. On their left ear, they wear a headset with a microphone extending over the bottom left side of their face.

## Personality

Yvonne has a tendency to be very shy. In her childhood, she would often let her family speak for her, and did not hang out with people other than the kids in her family, including Splatoon 3's Frye. Because of this, her social skills are not very good. She also has sensory issues and is especialy sensitive to overlapping noise, such as many people talking at once.

## History

### Parents and Childhood

Yvonne's mother was an Octoling, born and raised in the Octarian domes, while their father was an eel tamer from Splatsville. In 2001 of the Mollusk Era, Yvonne's father traveled to the coast of Octo Valley, looking for a quiet space to practice playing the Pungi, used by his family to tame eels. Although the surface space of Octo Valley was mostly vacant at the time, Yvonne's mother, a member of the Octarian Army, was assigned to routinely patrol the outer coast.

When Yvonne's parents met, her mother was at first hostile toward her father. However, she became less tense when Yvonne's father explained (in near-perfect textbook Octarian, taught in upper-class Splatlandian schools) that he meant no harm and was there to practice music.

Yvonne's mother would visit her future lover daily and would listen to his stories of the outside world. Eventually, she decided she was going to go back to Splatsville with the man she loved. In the City of Chaos, she was welcomed by both the Onaga clan and the community with open arms. Not long after, Yvonne had been welcomed into the family. She grew up alongside her first cousin, Frye of Deep Cut, learned to play the Pungi and tame eels.

Just before her first birthday, Yvonne's mother, torn between her two lives, ultimately decided to return to Octo Valley. She was afraid she would be found in Splatsville, putting her family in danger. Nobody knew about her decision to return except for her now-husband, heartbroken to see her have to leave.

### Splatoon (2015 ME)

When Yvonne was 14 years old, they gained their humanoid form, a year earlier than most young inkfish. As the sport of Turf War was not common in Splatsville at the time, she decided to purchase a small apartment in the Flounder Heights building and move to the city of Inkopolis. She was infatuated with the fancy weaponry and fashionable clothes sold at the Booyah Base and spent a lot of her time talking to the shopkeepers. While looking at weapons in Ammo Knights, she was approached by a young Octoling, who complimented her tentacle style and proceeded to wink awkwardly. Yvonne and the Octoling started to talk, discussing where they were from, and more importantly: how the Octoling, Maxine of ASTEREO, got there. Maxine, who had only recently arrived at the surface and had no place to live, moved into Yvonne's apartment.

### Splatoon 2 (2017 ME)

After the Callie vs. Marie splatfest, Yvonne and Maxine transitioned from playing in Turf Wars in Inkopolis Plaza to Inkopolis Square.

When Maxine and her brother, Max, reunited, Max moved into the Flounder Heights apartment with Maxine and Yvonne, bringing his Octotrooper 'son', who was born from a haircut accident, with him. Maxine and Yvonne had shared a love of music since they met, and now that Max was in the picture, it became increasingly clear they the three wanted to take their love of music to another level. ASTEREO was formed, originally a trio, however Yvonne soon decided she would rather do behind-the-scenes work due to anxiety. Their early music started to gain a small following online around this time.

### Octopolis

When Octopolis, the rebuilt city based out of the Octotrooper Hideout and Return of the Octarians dome, started posting newsletters looking for musicians with Octarian heritage to host the city's soon-to-debut Turf War news segments, Yvonne notified Max and Maxine immediately. They traveled underground to audition for the roles that same week. Ultimately, ASTEREO was chosen for the role of Octopolis News hosts, with Yvonne getting a job as their assistant director. With this new job came the signing to their record label, owned by the Joubini family, who produced their news program. When everything was official, they said goodbye to Inkopolis and made a permanent move to the underground city of the Octarians, Octopolis.
