Marina Ida

The one and only Marina Ida.

Not gonna lie, but former Octarians sure put up some fresh beats, something that today's western music industry lacks. Besides, they're always sexy...Hehe...

Anyways.

She and Pearl Hozuki formed a pop duo called Off the Hook, the biggest direct competitor to the legendary Squid Sisters, and sometimes called their ''spiritual successor'' of the Squid Sisters if one day the latter disbanded.

According to the Inkipedia and unknown sources, here's part of her biography:

\_

''She was born in the final years of Octavio's rule over the Empire, and began to be trained as a combat engineer from a very early age. She graduated from elementary training at the age of 9 after skipping multiple grades, and for the next few years went on to play a part in designing the Flooder and enhancing the Great Octoweapons. During the formation of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, she had received multiple commendations as part of DJ Octavio's wasabi supply unit. As a high-ranking member, she was known throughout Octarian society and was recognized by 10.008 despite never meeting personally.''

''After stumbling upon the clash between Octavio and Agent 3, thinking as if it were his latest concert, she was freed from Octavio's influence and deserted the now fallen Empire shortly after his death, saying that ''This changes everything''.''

''Escaping to Mount Nantai, she was now alone, having lost everything except her musical talent, and clueless about the truth of Inkling society. During her stay at the mountain, she heard Pearl practicing singing. After an awkward meeting, she demonstrated her talent with a demo of Ebb & Flow. The rich inkling was impressed by the demo, and she agreed to let her stay.''

''As weeks went by, she taught her about Inkling culture, Turf Wars, the atrocities of the Octarian Empire, their surviving relatives, and warned her of both the Octarian clans composed of members still under the influence of Octavio, and of famous people who could manipulate her into becoming an octarian once again. And one day, they decided to start a band, which would be known as Off the Hook.''

''They remade and released Ebb & Flow as OTH's first single a few months after the death of Octavio, which propelled them to fame. At the time of releasing their fourth single, they became popular enough to replace Callie and Marie as the hostesses of Inkopolis News after the former duo's hiatus from musical work.''

''Shortly after, they were given permission to host a new round of splatfests.''

Like most people, they negatively reacted to Callie's departure from the US with the following statement:

''Our hearts sank after reading the news of Callie departure. We're so sorry to hear about your current situation!''

To which they followed with this:

''But there's always a silver lining to everything. We're sure that your fans here in Japan will give you a warm welcome! If you come to us, we'll make you some crabby cakes and buy you some chips! We'll be waiting!''

They seem to care for the other two a lot, despite them being competitors...now that's something you don't see everyday.

She is a Plum Brown and Teal Webfoot Octoling with black skin, some sort of RBF\* (even when calm, she always seems timid and shy) with Seafoam irises and salmon pink pupils in the shape of Tentatek Fake Contacts.

She doesn't seem to have much body shame, as her default outfit is very revealing. Was she a model in the past?~

Or was her family part of Octavio's sexy servants?~

\*The term ''Resting Bitch Face'' is not a good name for this facial syndrome, as it will come out as being racist to Marina. How about we call it ''Expression-Deformed Facial Syndrome''? How's that for a better term, Grant Barret!?
