Marie

"Staaaay fresh!"

- Squid Sisters

Marie is a part of the Squid Sisters and host of Inkopolis News, along with her cousin Callie.

Appearance
Marie uses a mostly green and white color scheme. She wears a black dress with green stripes that ends in a more skirt-like fashion and green stockings. Her "hair" consists of two white tentacles tied into a bob that is slightly curled at the end. She wears silver earrings and a round piece of sushi as a hat.

Personality
Marie is seemingly quieter and not as excitable as her cousin, 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 good mood. Overall, her disposition is laid-back and friendly. She is also an expert at doing impressions.

She often groans at Callie's puns, but is known to make silly comments herself. An example of this is when Callie asks her about strategic advice. Her responses can range from amusingly obvious to almost nonsensical, and may occasionally even stray off the topic of battle altogether.

She dislikes overly-thrilling activities, and can even be somewhat lazy.

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

It is hinted, particularly in Inkopolis News dialogue, that her preferred weapon class in battle is the Charger.

Trivia

 * Together with Callie's name, Marie's name forms the word "calamari", which is an Italian squid dish.
 * Marie's Japanese name is derived from a real-world species: "Hotaru-ika" is the Japanese name for the Firefly Squid.
 * Several fans have noted that Marie resembles Jeanne from the Bayonetta series. It is unknown if this was intentional.
