Template:InfoboxCharacter

“	Oh, um... hello.	”
— Annie upon the player entering Cooler Heads

Annie is a character in the Splatoon series. She is a shy sea anemone with a clownfish named Moe living in her hair. In Splatoon and Splatoon 3, she runs the headgear shop, Cooler Heads, in Booyah Base. Additionally, in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3, she runs the SplatNet Gear Shop in SplatNet 2 and SplatNet 3, respectively.

Appearance

Annie has pink tentacles with pastel green tips that serve as her hair and house Moe. 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 sclera, along with purple eyelids and eyelashes. Annie wears a shiny indigo star-shaped accessory in her hair and black glasses. She has magenta headphones around her neck and a chartreuse jacket emblazoned with magenta and aqua-blue squids. Annie also wears a dark teal dress, orange tights with black squids on them, and black biker boots.

In Splatoon 3, Annie's tentacles are more on the pastel side. Annie wears a black hat and hoodie, underneath, she wears a green shirt with a black rim. She wears fishnet stockings and black boots. She also wears round glasses on her face.

Personality and traits

Annie has a shy personality, being extremely reserved and constantly ruminating. 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.^[1] She also sometimes helps Sheldon with decorating weapons at Ammo Knights.^[1]^[2] Despite her shyness, she has an exciting writing style, in addition to being a great artist.^[3] She is prone to having outbursts from time to time, though this is never seen in-game.^[3] She also likes metal music^[2], and got into gothic metal sometime before Splatoon 3, which influenced her outfit in that game.^[4]

Moe the clownfish lives atop her head. He talks a big game, but he staunchly refuses to leave the safety of Annie's head.^[5]

Annie's version of DJ Lee Fish's song Lookin' Fresh has louder treble, meaning emphasized 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.

“	And here are two familiar faces - Annie and Moe from Cooler Heads, the Inkopolis headgear shop! Annie has leaned into her love of gothic metal and changed her style. She also moonlights as a sysop for SplatNet and adds decals to weapons on the side. As for Moe? Still a clown fish.	”

"O, hallootjes. Oeps, ik bedoel... Sorry. We hebben hier een regel, ehm... Ik bedoel het niet verkeerd, maar... we verkopen geen spullen aan iemand die niet... erg vers is. Eh, misschien als je niveau 4 hebt behaald... Dat je dan wel vers genoeg bent? Misschien? Doe gewoon wat Grondoorlogen in de lobby... Dan komt het wel goed. Als je daar zin in hebt, ten minste... Niks moet, alles mag..."

(Oh, hello there. Oops, I mean... Sorry. We have a rule here, um... I mean, no offense, but... we don't sell stuff to anyone that's not... very fresh. Um, maybe if you have reached level 4... That you'll be fresh enough then? Maybe? Just do some Turf War battles in the lobby... Then you'll be fine. If you feel like it, at least.... Nothing is a must, everything is possible...)

"Bij Onder een Hoedje hebben we vooral veel, eh... hoedjes... En andere dingen voor op je hoofd. De spulletjes die we hier verkopen, hebben bepaalde... effecten. Daar kun je veel aan hebben tijdens gevechten. Klinkt handig. Je kunt op, eh, drukken als je meer over een artikel wilt weten. Dus vraag het niet aan mij..."

(At Cooler Hats we especially have a lot of, um... hats... And other things for on your head. The stuff we sell here have certain... abilities. You can get a lot of use out of them during battles. Sounds handy. You can press, um, if you want to know more about an item. So don't ask me...)

"O, hallootjes. Welkom in mijn winkel, Onder een Hoedje. Wa... eh... Hoe kun je ZO vers zijn? Ik... Ik weet niet of mijn winkeltje zoveel versheid wel aankan..."

(Oh, hello there. Welcome to my store, Cooler Hats. Wha... um... How can you be SO fresh? I... I don't know if my little store can handle that much freshness...)

When spending at least 100.000 cash for the first time:

"Wat, eh... Heb je echt... Wauwie. Ik heb wat voor je. Een badge die we bewaren voor de klanten die we, eh... het meest waarderen. Het zou best cool zijn als je die, eh, op zou willen doen, of zo... Als dat iets is dat je leuk zou vinden..."

"O, we hebben iets in de winkel dat je al hebt. Dus, eh... dan kun je de zeldzaamheid verhogen of de artikelen omruilen... Als je de zeldzaamheid verhoogt, kun je meer effectvakjes krijgen... of meer ervaringspunten verdienen. Als je je artikel omruilt, krijg je het nieuwe, met andere effecten en zo. Klinkt leuk, toch? Haha... haha... ha..."

(Oh, we have something in the store that you already have. So, um... then you can boost the star power or exchange the items... If you boost star power, you can get more ability slots or earn more experience points. If you exchange your item, you get the new one, with different abilities and such. Sounds fun, right? Haha... haha... ha...)

When selecting a piece of headgear:

"Wil je dit kopen?"

(You want to buy this?)

When deciding whether to exchange a piece of headgear:

"Je verliest de zeldzaamheid en de extra effecten hiervan, dus, eh... Weet je het zeker?"

(You lose the star power and the secondary abilities of this one, so, um.... Are you sure?)

When trying to trade in a piece of headgear that has the same main ability:

"Eh, het effect is, eh... precies hetzelfde... Het heeft weinig zin om ze om te ruilen..."

(Um, the ability is, um... exactly the same... It makes little sense to exchange them...)

When selecting a piece of already-owned headgear with max star power:

"O, hopelijk, eh... wilde je dat niet al te graag... Want, eh... zeldzamer dan dit kan dit artikel niet worden..."

"O, die, eh... Die hebben we niet meer op voorraad. Het spijt me heel erg. Ik verkoop klanten niet graag nee..."

Oh, that one, um... We no longer have that one in stock. I'm very sorry. I don't like to sell customers no...

"Huh? O, oepsie... Die is, eh... al uitverkocht..."

(Huh, oh, oopsie... That one is, um... already sold out...)

"Wil je dit dragen?"

(You want to wear this?)

After buying a piece of headgear:

"Oké, leuk, leuk. Eh, als je je nieuwe artikel wilt dragen, dan kun je dan in het menu UITRUSTING doen... Dat wist je vast allang..."

(Okay, nice, nice. Um, if you want to wear your new item, then you can do GEAR in the menu... You probably already knew that...)

When not having enough cash:

"O, eh... Misschien had je gemist dat, eh... je dit niet helemaal kunt... betalen..."
