Toran

Toran is an Inkling living in Splatsville. She is in Sweet Zone, a band, along with an Inktoling named Kaimin and her pet ghost crab named Bonbon.

## Appearance

Toran is an Inkling below average height. Like a normal Inkling, she has a black rounded face mask. Unlike a normal one though, she also has black markings under her eyes. She has light tan skin and slightly down-turned eyebrows. Her almond-shaped eyes are orange, with a darker orange pupil and a red diamond in each. She has a hairstyle similar to the Wave, but three big tentacles in front and three in the back at the bottom of her head. Her ink color is jade, and the end of her tentacles fade into a dark green with brighter green markings.

She wears a black bandana on her head with yellow stripes, which is also visible in her swim form. Her shirt, which is a bit short and shows a little bit of her midsection, is black with short sleeves, long sleeves underneath that are white, and an electric yellow lightning bolt on the middle. The whole shirt (minus the collar) has a slightly transparent blue fabric over it. On both hands she wears black fingerless gloves. Purple pants go over her black boots, which match her bandana. Just above her left knee she has a metal bracelet which glows pink in the center.

## Personality

Toran is outgoing and loves to do activities like Turf Wars and ranked battles, when she's not working on music. Because of this, she's been described as athletic. Because of how nervous Kaimin can get, she will be protective over him and isn't afraid to get in a fight.

## Relationships

### Kaimin

She and Kaimin are very close. They met in a Clam Blitz match, where Toran found him and helped him out during the match, meeting up again the next day where they found out about each other's interests. Knowing how nervous he can get, she is protective of him but knows when to back down and let him handle things. While she does like him in a like-like way, she's decided that he should tell her when they're ready to become more than friends.

### Bonbon

Toran first met Bonbon in a small store. The managers said he kept showing up, so they let him stay. While he was snappy (literally) and had a bit of an attitude, he eventually warmed up to Toran. He ended up becoming her pet when the store closed down and the store owners had to go elsewhere. They're quite close and Toran brings him almost everywhere she goes, excluding things like Anarchy battles or Turf War matches.

## Quotes

* "Enjoy the zone!"
* "Caves are just so vast, who knows what you'll find down there! And all the things there are to discover!"
* "Hey, you alright?"
* "Alright."
* "No problem! I noticed how you stayed back for most of the match, are you a low-ranker?"
* "Well, at least you know not to do that."
* "I'm Toran, by the way."
* "Hey! Glad you could make it."
* "That's Bonbon, he's basically my little buddy. You could pet him if ya wanted to. If he'd let you, that is."
* "Ah that's alright, he doesn't usually warm up to other people that quickly."
* "So, what kind of stuff do you like?"
* "Music? Like.. Sing it? Listen to it? Make it?"
* "I want to make music too! More specifically rock, though I guess I could be a little open to other kinds."
* "Do ya think we could team up and try to make some? I've got some stuff already for the music."
* "Well I mean, why not? We've both got a similar interest in music, and you seem like a pretty nice guy."
* "Sorry, you looked like you were starting to spiral and I wasn't sure how else to make you stop without saying something."
* "Glad you like the idea. And don't worry about it, I'm sure we can work it out when you need it."
* "Hey, whatcha doin'?"
* "These look great! They'd be wonderful for certain themes. These ones stick out to me though. Maybe with a few adjustments, they could be our main outfits!"
* "Of course! And I've been thinking, about our band name. How does Sweet Zone sound? Y'know 'cause you're sweet and I think we'd really 'be in the Zone' if we ever managed to do performances."
* "Glad you agree! Now about some music I thought up…"
* "Being real active can warm up most of ya but sometimes my ear tips get just a bit too cold."
