Marie is a part of the Squid Sisters and host of Inkopolis News, along with her cousin Callie.
Appearance
Marie's color scheme is green and white. 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 hat resembling a round piece of sushi. Marie has a sultry design in comparison to her cousin's edgier design.
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 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.
Early Life
Marie was raised in Calamari County. At a young age, she became interested in singing and entered Inkopolis' first annual Youth Folk-Singing Contest with her cousin, Callie. 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, Marie joined Callie 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.
Inkopolis News
- Main article: Inkopolis News
Marie hosts Inkopolis News with her cousin, Callie. Callie usually interjects humorous statements regarding stage news, often poking fun at Marie in the process. Marie 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. Marie also helps announce update and Splatfest news, and can be seen chatting with Callie in their studio on the second floor of Booyah Base.
Splatfest
- Main article: Splatfest
When a Splatfest occurs, Callie and Marie announce the theme prior to the event. When the day of the Splatfest arrives, they can be seen singing and dancing atop trucks equipped with platforms and stage equipment.
Octo Valley
As hinted throughout Octo Valley, Marie is Agent 2 and Cap'n Cuttlefish is her grandfather. While posing as Agent 2, she wears a green hat, a white face mask, and what appears to be a green t-shirt. Her attire suggests she is hiding her real identity from any fans that might happen to see her. Throughout Octo Valley, Marie is heard communicating to Cap'n Cuttlefish, Agent 1, and Agent 3 regarding the looming Octarian menace. By performing a song with Agent 1, or Callie, Marie is able to distract DJ Octavio and free the Cap'n in the Octo Valley mission Enter the Octobot King!
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.
- During the Inkopolis News when discussing weapon preferences for Moray Towers Marie will say "Chargers are the very best, like no gun ever was." This is most likely a reference to the opening lyrics used for the intro for the first season of Pokémon's English dub. [1]
