For a short while, she favored bands with a different musical style from her parents, but lately, she has been observing classical music in a new light. She is romantically inexperienced, often falling for self-degrading people.<ref name="haikarawalker">[https://twitter.com/rassicas/status/1275606717753987072 {{TWI}} Fan translation of HaikaraWalker]</ref>

Oonie is a humanoid sea urchin with sea green skin, off-white eyes with magenta pupils, and magenta lipstick. Her hair is made from her test, resembling a bowl cut. Unlike other sea urchins in the Splatoon series, her test is largely devoid of spikes. Her test is segmented, alternating with some segments being dark blue, and others being sea green and orange. She wears a sleeveless black dress with a gold tie, matching the other members of Ink Theory, alongside black pants, and white boots resembling Punk Whites.
Splatoon 3
In Splatoon 3, Oonie is given a new outfit, now wearing a red and black blazer, a long plaid skirt, black platform shoes, and a spiked bracelet on her left hand. The dark blue segments of her test are now black, while the sea green and orange segments are now silver and lime.
