“	Say it with sizzle... I'm Frye!	”
— Splatoon 3 Direct

Frye is a character in Splatoon 3 and one of the three members of the band Deep Cut, alongside Shiver and Big Man, with whom she co-hosts both Anarchy Splatcast, the news show of Splatsville, and Splatfests. Her signature color is yellow.

Appearance

Frye is an Inkling with dark brown skin, golden eyes with orange pupils in the shape of a cross, and purple tinted fingers and toes, which glow during Splatfests. Her Inkling "mask" markings are fairly thick. She has thick yellow eyelashes with a slight orange gradient to them. Her hair is yellow with purple-tipped tentacles. There is a lock on the left side of her hairstyle in the front and smaller lock on the left in the back. Her eyebrows are yellow and triangular. She has long, sharp-pointed ears, the tips of which are a lighter orange color.

Frye's right ear is pierced with three moray eel tooth-shaped earrings. Her outfit consists of a sleeveless yellow turtleneck crop top under a small yellow transparent shawl, white baggy pants with holes on the left side that have purple trims, and white toeless socks. She wears an off-white rope on her front left hair tentacle, forming an X shape, and below it a smaller tighter hair tie made from the same material. Around her waist is a belt made of the same sort of rope, with a large golden squid head charm with purple tassels hanging from it on the front left. On top of her head is a golden-colored hat with cube chunks on it, most possibly resembling fried batter or food.

Trivia

• The tip of her hair could allude to an eel resting in the water.

Etymology

"Frye" comes from the verb "to fry", the action of cooking food over heat, contrasting with Shiver's name, which suggests cold. A "fry" is also one of the collective terms for a group of eels.

"Utsuho" is a rare Japanese female given name usually spelled with the kanji 空 (sky/void) or 空穂 (sky/void-ear), which may also be read Utsubo. It is a pun on 鱓 utsubo, the Japanese word for "moray eel". This is in reference to Frye descending from a lineage of moray eel trainers.
