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

Their stunning performance earned them a standing ovation from the audience, as well as a first place trophy and certificate. This success made them instant pop icons.

Career
Riding on the fame following her win at the Youth Folk-Singing Contest, Callie joined Marie in creating the Squid Sisters. Their repertoire includes a modern take on an ancient melody, a song unique to Splatfest, and a song used to defeat DJ Octavio. They have risen in notoriety, eventually becoming Inkopolis' premier pop icons, performing at Splatfests, and hosting a talk show as well as Inkopolis News.

Octo Valley
As hinted throughout Octo Valley, Callie is Agent 1 and Cap'n Cuttlefish is her grandfather. While posing as Agent 1, she wears a pink beanie with a star on the side, a pair of sunglasses, and what appears to be a pink t-shirt.
