MallStars

The popular idols of Mozinga Mall (A huge popular shopping plaza Inklings love to hangout in). The idols names are Salee and Kura (If you can figure out their name synergy then brownie points to you!). They love to promote positivity and fun in Turf War and Ranked Modes! Their phrase is "Fight strong!! Use teamwork!! Never give up!!". Their manager is always getting on their case to shorten the phrase to something more catchier.

### Salee

Description: A carefree girl with an explosive personality! She absolutely loves playing Turf War and will sometimes get too into the game and will try to find a team to challenge until the sun starts coming up. She uses the Splattire to get up into the action. She loves her vegetables and always tries to get Kura to eat more salads (Kura has quite the sweet-tooth and doesn't eat as much leafy greens as Salee). She's always positive and is usually very casual in public.

Favorite Food: Crunchy Kelp Crackers

Loves: Turf War and Kura

Hates: Inklings who give up near the end of a match

Secret: Secretly wants to be in a relationship but can't because of her idol status

### Kura

Description: A very polite and formal girl with a very reserved personality. She enjoys playing Turf war but can get flustered quickly and tries to avoid getting into the nitty gritty of a match. She uses the Rehydrator so she can shoot from pretty far away but can still defend her side of the map efficiently. She gets angry easily if her team is falling behind. There was an instance where she yelled out of anger after two teammates left and it was just her and Salee. Salee recorder Kura's yell on her phone and now uses it as her alarm clock ringtone (They live together in a condo so Kura has to hear her yell every morning).

Favorite Food: Seven Heaven Layered Parfait with extra whipped cream (Usually all for herself).

Loves: Being an idol... Oh! And Salee.

Hates: Clam Blitz, she doesn't have a very good throwing arm

Secret: Secretly despises vegetables but can't bring herself to tell Salee.

## History

Salee and Kura became friends in Squiddle School (A school where Inklings get a intermediate education up until they can take a humanoid form, where they then graduate to Hightide School) where they were both late developers and were held back an extra year. During this time they were bullied by other peers who were in the same year as them, especially by one Inkling who went by the name Gunk. When they both could take humanoid form they did what every other Inkling did and fought in Turf Wars. They had great synergy together and would always work to better one other. They spent a lot of time at each others houses reading magazines and listening to the Squid Sisters, they always wanted to be idols. Around the time they turned 20 the Mozingo Mall was nearly finished construction and was looking for mascots or idols to bring in customers. They knew this was their big opportunity. Without a heartbeat they began writing and creating dance moves. Within a week their first song was made; Victorize, a song that was made to give confidence to the listener. The higher ups who held auditions for idols loved Salee and Kura and their idea of promoting positivity in Turf Wars (at the time Turf War drop outs and rage quits were at a high). They were hired and adopted the cheer leading theme along with their name MallStars.

## Quotes

### Aliens vs. Ghosts

Salee: It's that spooky time of year folks! We want to know what frightens you more...

Kura: Aliens or ghosts?

Salee: Aliens. By faaaaaar.

Kura: What? How can you believe something like aliens? Little green boy's with their cartoon guns? Ghost's are the ultimate scare.

Salee: How can 'you' not believe aliens and then believe ghosts!? Also aliens can be like, a kajillion feet tall with huge rocket launchers in each hand!

Kura: Individuals being tied to this world after death is much more believable then lifeforms traveling "a kajillion" light years just to see us squids. Plus ghosts can posses you and that just totally creeps me out.

Salee: Aliens can like- can like blast you to smithereens! BAM! Gonzo, no respawn, GAME OVER! Can you imagine challenging an alien to a Turf War match!? The alien would win so much the loss would be horrifying. Can't do that with a ghost now can you!

Kura: Can you think of anything other than Turf War?

Salee: Do you think a ghost could posses an alie-

Kura: Alright folks, please be sure to choose a side at the food court on the ground floor, see you at ten o'clock!

### Making vs. Eating

Salee: Merry Squidmas, Squiddos! I can hardly keep my excitement this year!

Kura: Me neither! We want to ask all of you in the Mozingo Mall whether you prefer to eat gingerbread...

Salee: Or make stuff with it!

Kura: Me personally, I looove to eat it, you can't keep me away from it! Salee and I bought a whole bunch on Black Friday and I-

Salee: She all of it... I was gonna make an epic castle out of too! You couldn't of waited till I finished using it first, haha! Besides, making stuff with gingerbread is nice because then you get to eat it after! Best of both worlds!

Kura: Well, by the time you'd let me have any, it'd be hard as obsidian! I don't have the patience to make something creative with it.

Salee: Well you decorate your gingerbread squids with icing don't you? That's being creative.

Kura: Pft, that's like saying spreading jam on your toast is being creative!

Salee: Well... anyways, what is you're first instinct on gingerbread? Be sure to choose a side at the food court and fight hard for your team!

### Relationships vs. Friendships

Salee: Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I love this time of the year, the weather is warming up, and everyone is getting close with one another~

Kura: Yeah, Valentine's Day is pretty neat, but the day after is even better! That's when all the lovey-dovey chocolates go on sale (heh heh heh)

Salee: Yep, and the day after THAT is when you always restart your die-

Kura: \*AHEM\* Anyway, Salee, you're clearly on team relationships, huh? It must've been nice for you walk around getting pictures taken with the squid of your dreams ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Salee: Pfft. AS IF! That guy was a total JERK! We both had to do a photo-shoot where we'd have to model together in the middle of a Turf War match, and one of the Turf War players had an Explosher and he accidentally threw a bucket of ink straight at us! And this jerk totally left me in the dust and ran for the hills, my dress was ruined and we had to put a hold on the photo-shoot... (－‸ლ)

Kura: Wow! Well, there ya go folks, Salee is still on the market!

Salee: KURA! Do you really have to say that so bluntly!? At least you got to hangout with Miyoh (bottom left girl).

Kura: Yup! It was nice to catch up and play some games after how busy we've been.

Salee: I hope I can see her soon (｡╯︵╰｡)

Kura: Yeah me too, you've been a complete loner recently!

Salee: Hey! If I'm a loner where does that put you!?

Kura: Oh Salee, it doesn't matter where I am as long as I'm with you! (\*˘︶˘\*).｡.:\*♡

Salee: Oh my gosh, alright folks, be sure to vote at the food court and pair up with those you love most!

### Finding vs. Painting

Salee: Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're all enjoying this holiday of the ancients and having a great time with egg related activities!

Kura: I'm excited! Today we ask all of you in the Mozingo Mall which you think is the BEST part about Easter? Painting eggs?

Salee: Or finding them!?

Kura: Eggs provide such an interesting canvas shape, I can explore many kinds of shapes and see them in a different perspective.

Salee: You wanna talk about shifting perspective? Try looking at your backyard like you've never seen it before while trying to find that last sneaky egg!

Kura: Also, can we talk about how you got to spend the afternoon with sea bunnies!? Why do I feel like I'm losing with these Splatfest promotions?

Salee: They. Are. So. CUTE! They're so soft and sweet, I'd totally get one if I had time to go home every now and then...

Kura: I wonder what ancients' egg hunts were like. I wonder what the animal that laid the Easter eggs looked like too.

Salee: There are theories that say the animal looked like sea bunnies!

Kura: Oh weird! So maybe some large land sea bunny... a LAND bunny? That's too weird to think about...

Salee: Don't you think it's weird that we eat eggs... and Inklings l-

Kura: YEP! We don't need to go that far, let's remind the good folks to submit their choices at the food court and fight hard strive fast for your Splatfest pick!
