Marie

**Marie** is an Inkling girl from the Splatoon series who forms the pop duo known as the Squid Sisters with Callie.

## Appearance

Marie is a very fashionable Inkling and has a more laid-back design in comparison to her cousin. Her tentacles, which are light gray, are tied in a large bow on the right side of her head, with the ends wrapped around to the other side and curling up slightly at the ends, along with a bang swept to the left of her face. Marie also has a faint green tinge at the ends of her tentacles. She has large, downturned eyes with gold irises and light-brown pupils in the shape of a cross or a 'ninja star'. Her eye markings end in small, slightly curved points, and her eyebrows are large and oval-shaped. Her ears are slightly narrower, longer, and downturned than those of the average Inkling, and on them, she wears a pair of chunky, milky white earrings. Her outfit, which appears to be a romper with a skirt covering the smaller, less-sequined shorts with green lacing in the back, is black with a reflective texture as if covered in sequins. The skirt is bowl-shaped, like her hat, and the underside of the skirt which is seen while Marie is jumping occasionally, is green on the inside. On the front of the dress are three bright green marks, which, somewhat morbidly, are made to look like the cuts made in squid when it is cooked. With this outfit, she wears lime green tights, black shorts, white gloves, and a small, white, pointed neck accessory giving the impression of a shirt collar. On her feet, Marie wears a pair of black wedge shoes with a leathery texture, which have a shiny green material on the bottom and two green buttons on either side of the ankle. She wears a green and white hat resembling a calamari ring and has a birthmark or a beauty mark on her right cheek. It was revealed in *Splatoon 2* that she has scars from when Callie hit her with a bug net when they were children.

During a Splatfest, any part of Marie's appearance that is normally lime green changed to match the color of her Splatfest team, including the ends of her tentacles.

As a child, Marie wore traditional Japanese-style clothing and her tentacles were much shorter and messier. Her first outfit consisted of a black yukata with a white polka dot pattern at the bottom and a pair of thick black zōri with pink thongs. On the left side of her head, she wore a green and white accessory that simply looked like a smaller version of her current calamari hat. For her second outfit Marie wore a white yukata with a seashell pattern in lime green, navy blue, and dull purple. The calamari accessory had taken on a dark purple tint in addition to its existing colors.

While posing as Agent 2, Marie wears what seems to be a green shirt, a green hat with a logo similar to the Firefin one, and a white facemask. Her attire suggests she is trying to hide her identity from fans that happen to see her.

While brainwashed, she wears a radically different outfit - a small black crop top exposing her midriff with a green squid, revealing a green squid-shaped temporary tattoo near her navel. Her earrings have been replaced by silver squid-shaped earrings and her hat is a pink bamboo hat. Her shorts appear to be made of black leather and are low cut enough to reveal a glimpse of green fabric, possibly her undergarments, and her tights are dark green with a green tinge and sequins, giving them a galactic look. Additionally, she wears a pair of purple sunglasses revealed to be brainwash glasses.

Marie wears a more casual outfit: a dark green shirt with a black undershirt and a green hoodie, an olive skirt, a pair of green pants, a pair of olive shoes with white laces, earrings, and the same green cap she wears as Agent 2 of the same color as her hoodie with the white squid.

Marie dons traditional Japanese-style clothing. Her outfit consists of a black and dark grey kimono with gold triangle patterns around the waist and carries a green parasol with the Cuttlegear brand logo on it. She wears traditional Japanese sandals, or 'geta', and a different, pink, headpiece described as being reminiscent of cooked shrimp. The kimono bears the Kensaki (Toni Kensa) family emblem, although the connection is unknown.

In her squid form, Marie is a standard lime green squid with her signature pupils, and downward-pointing eyelash-like points below her eye marking.

## Personality

Marie is seemingly quieter and not as excitable as Callie, and usually only gives a half-smile, if at all. She can be a little sarcastic from time to time, and slightly prone to complaining, but is usually in a mild mood. Overall, her disposition is laid-back and friendly/grumpy. She is also an expert at doing impressions, as mentioned by Agent 1.

She dislikes overly-thrilling activities, and can even be somewhat lazy. She also doesn't seem to be a big fan of tomatoes.

When anticipating an announcement (for example, the theme of a , or the contents of an update), she often repeats herself in excitement. (Ex. "What is it? What is it?!")

## Trivia

* Marie mentions several times on Inkopolis News that her preferred weapon class is the Charger. Given the existence of the Hero Charger Replica and her role as Agent 2, it is possible that Marie used a Charger in Octo Valley.

* In Splatoon 2, Marie mentions that she is "more of a charger girl", and in the final battle, Bomb Rush Blush, she is shown using the Hero Charger.

### Splatoon + Mario Party

* Marie is partnered up with Marina during Splatfests.
