Kettle

**Kettle** is a supporting protagonist/slight antagonist in Modification Central. She aids Agent Ly, as well as recruiting them, in multiple occasions along with Re-Coral.

## Appearance

Kettle is a standard octoling with white skin. She has pink eyes and the octolocks hairstyle, usually colored mint, although it varies in color. She wears a painter mask, usually colored orange, although it also varies in color. She wears the manatee swag sweat. She sports ripped black leggings and the red hi-kicks. However, when her mask is off (which only happens once) she has scars all around her lips, sharp, jagged teeth, and a long, forked, tongue from experiments by DJ Octavio.

## Personality

Kettle is very blunt and sarcastic. She’s also very impatient, even asking Erese and Juny to hurry up in their own voice chat rooms. However, she does care for Re-Coral and Agent Ly, even going as far to drop down the ink tsunami remote, her prized possession, for Agent Ly to use on Flo’s fourth and final boss phase.

However, she is very agile and graceful, with her running quietly and quickly along the walls without alarming any of the sensors while she assists Ly in hitting some of the ink switches in the Lofty Maze.

## Battle

Kettle’s boss fight starts with her dropping from the ceiling in the library of Anglerfish Cove. She explains how she doesn’t want to fight you but that she has to so she can protect Juny. The bookshelves in the library go down, and then phase 1 starts.

### Phase 1

Kettle’s attacks on phase 1 start with her running up the walls trying to splat the player from the back. She will occasionally splashdown, as well as throwing out a few Autobombs and Gloomoo’s to throw the player off. She will also go straight on to attack the player, attempting to splat the player with her octobrush.

### Phase 2

After being beat, she exclaims how the player was even more powerful then she expected, and that she’ll kick it up a notch and make her name make sense. The difficulty then increases, with her being able to splashdown and reefslide, which is now more frequent, and she mostly tries to sneak-splat you. She now uses suction bombs and bombarangs.

### Phase 3

After being beat a second time, she exclaims how she clearly shouldn’t have underestimated the player, but she has to beat them for Juny’s sake. The bookshelves then reappear, and phase 3 starts. Yet again, the difficulty increases, with this phase being the hardest. Zipcaster is now the only special she uses, although she uses it much more often then she did splashdown or reefslider. There are canned zipcasters scattered all over the map for the player to use. She solely sneaks up behind the player, as that is her main attack tactic, and she can now use splatbombs, inkwalls, and toxic mist. Once the players beats phase 3, she apologies to Juny for “letting the cat escape”, and then she zipcasts away as the map gets covered in ink.
