Willow

“I have like, a pound of mixed glitter glue and sponge bits for a brain and a singular friend, Artsy.”

## Willow (Deadname: Juny)

* Willow in S. 1
* Willow in S. 2
* Willow in S. 3 (brainwashed)
* Willow in S. 3 (freed)

## Appearances

### Debut

Meep Team S. 1

Willow is one of the newer members of the Meep Team. She helps out the team, mostly Artistic and Han, with herself and her personal AI, T.U.F.I. She joined the team after finding the manhole to Alterna and traveling down it, and then suddenly becoming friends with Artistic, and then for some reason getting accepted by the rest of the team's active members.

## Appearance

Willow has white skin. Her main ink color is coral, which retaliates to her hair color. She wears lavender contacts, and her face is full of freckles. She styles her hair in the octolocks style. She sports a mint beanie covered in pins, a blank hot pink hoodie, grey sweatpants, and faded frog crocs with select charms that hint towards her backstory.

### Season 2

Her appearance is pretty much the same, except for her tentacle and face. Artsy cut off her left tentacle, and since she is a human-made Octoling, it cannot grow back. All that’s left is the top half of the tentacle, with the bottom half fading to black from being dried up as well as becoming a knub. She also has a scar on her left cheek from the encounters with the Moop Team.

### Season 3

Unlike Season 2, her appearance is drastically different. She now wears a white hoodie opposed to a hot pink one, with the Alterna logo on the bottom. Her beanie is now periwinkle, and she has a singular pin on it, that also has the Alterna logo. She's now almost always scowling or smirking, and here eyes are blue instead of lavender or brown. She has a hypnobud in her left ear. Instead of grey sweatpants, she wears black leggings. And instead of froggy crocs, she wears dark blue ballet slippers.

After she’s been freed from Lyta’s control, her outfit is also drastically different. She still wears the beanie Lyta gave her although it doesn’t have the Alterna pin. Lyta’s control dyed one of her eyes blue, and she gave up on her lavender contacts, so her other eye is her true eye color, brown. Her hair color stays the same. Due to the perfection Lyta put her under, it ruined her body and gave her the ability to turn her arms and legs into the black “perfection goo”, and she keeps her left arm that way. Her body has also been partially dyed by the perfection, meaning different parts of her are periwinkle, like partial sanitization. She sports the hospital gown, however she also sports a light lime hoodie she got/stole from the hospital gift shop on top of the gown. She’s wearing the same leggings, and she’s back to wearing her froggy crocs, although most times she’s just wearing yellow hospital grippy socks

## Personality

### Season 1

Willow is...a mixture of emotions. She gets cold and defensive when it comes to protection, but she's warm and clueless on a normal basis. She wants to help out when she can, and sometimes it costs the safety of her life.

### Season 2

Willow’s personality is basically the same, except she’s more serious. She doesn’t handle jokes or the Moop Team like she used to, and instead just resorts to fighting for the defense and protection of the Meep Team.

### Season 3

Just like her appearance, her personality is drastically different. She is now much more snarkier and rude, except towards brainwashed members. She is extremely agile, and pays much more attention to her surroundings. She smirks almost all the time, except when told not to, and enjoys seeing the team's pain. She enjoys their downfall, and especially loves it when they've been beat or they lost a member of the team. However, she does still get flustered easily, especially when they aren't scared or intimidated by her.

After she’s freed, she’s practically the same as season 2, except much calmer. Although, she is more alert, and she’s also clearly traumatized. She apologizes much more too.

## Backstory

(first part copy and pasted from Re-Coral's official Inkidols page)

After Alterna fell, one of the sole survivors and main scientists, Angelyta, crawled out from the ruckus after waking up from the coma the explosion put her in. When she saw there were only humanoid sea creatures opposed to humans, she wanted to change this. And so, she pulled smaller squids and octopi from the ocean before they could transition, and she brought them back to Alterna. From there, she experimented on them, trying to create modified humans from the cephalopods. However, all she made were modified inklings and octolings. However, these were enough for her, and she dubbed these species "Modified Cephalopods", or MCs for short. From here, she kept creating more MCs. Now, one of the first MCs was, of course, Willow, however, she went by #1195. After the 17th batch of MCs, an AI system named T.U.F.I. was created. T.U.F.I. was used to train and create the perfect beings out of the MCs, as well as track how to make the MCs from the base cephalopods. T.U.F.I. also held annual battle cups for Angelyta's joy. However, one fatal day, another annual battle cup was held, and it was Juny against another MC. Juny won, due to her training the hardest, but the battle brought down the entire building, crushing a majority of the MCs, along with Angelyta, killing off what was guessed as the last of the humans. When the dust cleared, the only remaining beings that could be seen were Willow and T.U.F.I.s broken system board. For weeks, Willow sat in the wreckedge, crying, because she didn't know what else to do, until she finally found the courage to find her way out of Alterna, to which she found the manhole to Splatsville, and she went down it. When she did, she found herself in, of course, Splatsville, which is where she decided to raise herself. However, she of course didn't raise herself, because she was 8 at this time, and an 8 year old roaming the streets of a bustling city is suspicious, so she was of course taken in by a kindly couple, and she changed her name to Honey for them. She lived there until she became 16, which is when she moved out on her own to Aura Boralious, where she then met Erese and Huki, and started Re-Coral.

When she met Erese and Huki, she knew her name couldn't be Honey, so she gave herself the name of Juny, by editing the name of the month it was at that time. From there, she started the band with them, and for 2 years, they went on tours and released songs. It was also during this time where she figured out how to fix T.U.F.I.s circuit board and transport the data to a new mech. It was everything she'd dreamt of! However, there was a catch. See, Huki was a partially sanitized octoling, meaning he was sanitized but had control over himself. However, when Tartar found out about this, he was furious. He lured the band back to the metro, which is where he fully sanitized Huki, and made plans to sanitize Willow and Erese as well. Willow was horrified in fear, and she stood there, scared, as she watched her friend lose himself. When the sanitization was over, so was Re-Coral's career, and Huki's freedom as well. But still, she couldn't move. It was after she saw Tartar start sanitizing Erese, which is where she started running, knocking Erese off of the full plan, but still escaping while leaving Erese in a state where she was under Tartar's control. Willow escaped from the metro, and got on the train back to Aura Boralious, which is where she lived. She isolated herself, until she figured out that they were reconstructing Aura Boralious into New Coralia, which is when she finally moved back to Splatsville, and changed her look entirely. After she moved, she started coming out more and more, until she finally came back out into society. That's when she saw the manhole, so she packed a drawstring bag filled with several CDs, T.U.F.I.s broken mini mech, a sketchbook, scented pens, and a Tupperware full of protein bars and fruit gummies. She then jumped down the manhole and found herself in Alterna.
