Annie

"Oh, um... hello."

- Annie upon entering Cooler Heads.

Annie (Japanese: アネモ Anemo) is a character in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. She is a sea anemone who owns the headgear shop, Cooler Heads, along with Moe in Inkopolis Plaza. She later opened the SplatNet 2 Gear Shop in Splatoon 2.

Appearance
Annie has pink hair tinted with pastel green at the tips of her tentacles and also houses Moe in it. 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 scelera, along with purple eyelids with eyelashes. Annie possesses a shiny indigo star shaped accessory in her hair, and also has black glasses. She has magenta headphones and a chartreuse jacket emblazoned with magenta and aqua blue squids. Annie also has 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, but she has many secret fans. 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. According to The Art of Splatoon, despite her shyness, she has an exciting writing style, in addition to being a great artist. The book also says she is prone to having outbursts from time to time, though this is never seen in-game.

Moe the clownfish lives atop her head. He talks a big game, but he staunchly refuses to leave the safety of Annie's head. It is hinted at in the nineteenth Sunken Scroll that Moe is the one manipulating Annie, reading, "Is the big fluffy one providing shelter for the little fishy one, or is the little fishy one manipulating the big fluffy one? We may never know..."

[[Media:Shop - Cooler Heads.oga|Annie's version]] of DJ Lee Fish's song Lookin' Fresh has louder treble, meaning emphasised 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 of the word "anemone," as it sounds like the "ane" in "anemone". Moe completes the name.
 * It is possible that Annie has an interest in Sheldon. However, the possibility is only floated 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 relationship chart, where she states "He seems dangerous..."
