Annie

"Oh, um... hello."

- Annie upon the player entering Cooler Heads

Annie is a character in the SS undefined. She is a shy sea anemone with a clownfish named Moe living in her hair. In and, she owns the headgear shop, Cooler Heads, in Booyah Base. In and Splatoon 3, she runs the SplatNet Gear Shop in SplatNet 2 and SplatNet 3, respectively.

Appearance
Annie has pink tentacles with pastel green tips that serve as her hair and house Moe. Her skin is a pale beige color similar to shopkeepers like Sheldon and Flow. She has cyan eyes with hot pink pupils and baby blue sclera, along with purple eyelids and eyelashes. Annie wears a shiny indigo star shaped accessory in her hair and black glasses. She has magenta headphones around her neck and a chartreuse jacket emblazoned with magenta and aqua blue squids. Annie also wears a dark teal dress, orange tights with black squids on them, and black biker boots.

Personality and traits
Annie has a shy personality, being extremely reserved and constantly ruminating. When speaking, she usually trails off after some time, gradually getting quieter. She experiences difficulty greeting customers, and according to Callie and Marie in the Squid Sisters Stories, she moved online to the SplatNet 2 shop because she got flustered too easily. She also sometimes helps Sheldon with decorating weapons at Ammo Knights. Despite her shyness, she has an exciting writing style, in addition to being a great artist. She is prone to having outbursts from time to time, though this is never seen in-game. She also likes metal music.

Moe the clownfish lives atop her head. He talks a big game, but he staunchly refuses to leave the safety of Annie's head.

[[Media:Shop - Cooler Heads.oga|Annie's version]] of DJ Lee Fish's song Lookin' Fresh has louder treble, meaning emphasized vocals and minimal percussion, giving it a weaker sound overall. This is a reflection of her shy, detached personality, as well as the fact that she sells gear for the top part of the buyer's body, hence the emphasis on the treble.

Trivia

 * Annie's name is a pun on the word "anemone," as it sounds like the "ane" in "anemone". Moe's name completes the pun.
 * It is possible that Annie has a romantic interest in Sheldon. However, this possibility is only mentioned in Chapter 4 of the Squid Sisters Stories when Callie blurts out in excitement, "Do you think Annie and Sheldon...?!" to which Marie responds, smiling, "No way, not a chance."
 * In the same chapter, according to Crusty Sean, Annie was also looking for a new gig and had kept herself busy decorating weapons at Ammo Knights. The more she did it, the more she felt a detail-oriented part-time job suited her perfectly. This is probably what inspired her to start the online retail service, SplatNet Gear Shop.
 * Annie was on Team Chaos for the Chaos vs. Order Splatfest, with her reasoning that it matches the eccentric gear abilities she sells in her online shop.
 * Annie seems to be slightly skeptical of Spyke, as seen in the Splatoon 2 relationship chart, in which she states "He seems dangerous..." Additionally, in Inkopolis Plaza, the alleyway that Spyke inhabits is directly opposite Cooler Heads, Annie's shop. This connection could be a reference to sea urchins and sea anemones being natural enemies.
