**Bobble Hat** is one of the main characters of the series. She is usually seen around her team members Specs, Headphones, and Goggles.

## Appearance

Like any other inkling, Bobble Hat has a black, rounded eye mask. Her eye color is unknown, as she always has her eyes closed in a happy expression, although it can be assumed she has blue eyes to match her default ink color. She originally had the “Hippie” hairstyle, although at the time it was the only female hairstyle and as such didn’t have a specific name, and wore the Bobble Hat, Green Zip Hoodie, and the Purple Sea Slugs.

As of Splatoon 2, she has changed her hairstyle to the “Haircut” style. She also replaced her Green Zip Hoodie with a Gray Hoodie.

In Splatoon 3, she appears to have changed her hairstyle once again, this time to the “Bedhead” style, and she replaces her Gray Hoodie and Purple Sea Slugs with a Duskwave Tee and BlobMob Flip-Flops.

## Personality

Bobble Hat is a cheerful, carefree Inkling, always sporting a happy expression on her face. Unlike most of her teammates, she seems to find Goggles’ antics funny rather than annoying (and sometimes she even joins in). She often laughs in the face of danger, seemingly finding every situation funny or exciting regardless of the actual consequences. However, she is shown to be upset when Specs trips her by accident while fighting Inkfall.

## Relationships

Bobble's relationships are all positive. She is never shown to dislike anybody and is friendly towards anyone she meets.
