“	It's another great day, so let's give it our best! Yeah!	”
— Dialogue in Tentakeel Outpost.

Callie is a recurring character in the Splatoon series. She is part of the Squid Sisters pop idol duo, along with her cousin Marie, as well as Agent 1 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. In Splatoon, she co-hosted Inkopolis News and Splatfest events. Additionally, she is a major character in the single-player modes Octo Valley (Splatoon), Octo Canyon (Splatoon 2), and Return of the Mammalians (Splatoon 3). Her signature color is magenta.

She is voiced by keity.pop.

Appearance

Splatoon

Callie is a very fashionable Inkling with a remarkable resemblance to her cousin, having a more "outgoing" design than her in comparison. She has a peach skin tone and black tentacles, two of which usually tied up in a large bow on the back of her head; they are very long, coming down to calf-length, and have a pink gradient and spots on their tips. Additionally, she has a left-parted bang and a smaller one on the right, usually hidden under her hairpiece. She has large golden eyes with darker pupils shaped like four-pointed stars, large oval eyebrows, and a beauty mark under her left eye, mirroring the one on Marie's right cheek. Unlike the usual Inkling eye mask, Callie's eye markings are more angular, with two small eyelash-like points on each; her ears are slightly narrower, longer, and more upturned than those of the average Inkling. According to one of Marie's dialogues of Moray Towers, Callie wears contact lenses. Callie's stature is generally depicted as average, with her being slightly taller than the player character in Splatoon and Splatoon 2, and the same height as them in Splatoon 3.

Callie wears a black strapless romper that features puffy shorts and a heart-shaped neckline; the corset is form-fitting and closes with pink laces in the back. The romper is made of a reflective material covered in color-shifting hexagonal sequins. On the front are three horizontal openings showing a layer of magenta fabric underneath; they resemble the cuts made in ikayaki, or grilled squid, a popular Japanese festival food. With this outfit, she wears magenta tights, white gloves, white chunky hoop earrings, and a detached white shirt collar. On her feet, Callie wears a pair of ankle-high black boots with pink wedge heels and two pink buttons on either side of the ankle.

On the right side of her head is a pink and white ornament resembling ika sōmen—a squid sashimi dish from Japan—on top of a shiso leaf. The sashimi can be seen briefly flying off when she jumps, as it only rests on top of her head.

During a Splatfest, any part of Callie's appearance that is normally pink changes to match the color of her Splatfest team, including the tips of her tentacles. This represents her standard ink color, as seen in her amiibo figure and squid form in Super Mario Maker and Miitomo.

In her squid form, as seen in Super Mario Maker, Callie is a standard pink squid, but with her signature pupils and eyelash-like points on top of her eye markings.

Octo Valley

During the story mode in Splatoon, while acting as Agent 1, Callie wears a more undercover outfit, of which only the top half is shown. She wears a pink beanie with a yellow star pin on the right side; it covers most of her hairstyle, and only her twin tentacles and left bang can be seen peaking out. She wears a pair of black sunglasses and what appears to be a pink T-shirt. Her attire suggests she is hiding her real identity from any fans that may happen to see her.

Splatoon 2

Artwork of brainwashed Callie from The Art of Splatoon 2

While being brainwashed by DJ Octavio, Callie's style changes drastically, with her outfit being more "rebellious": she wears a black leather crop top with padded shoulders, a spiked collar, three vertical pink cut-like stripes on the front, and a zipper on the back. Her exposed midriff is decorated with a pink octopus-shaped temporary tattoo to the left of her navel; according to The Art of Splatoon 2, it can be washed off with hot water. She wears black leather low-cut shorts with a spike-studded waistband, and dark purple tights covered in magenta sequins; peeking out from underneath the shorts is what appears to be pink underpants.

On her feet are black stiletto-heeled boots with pink soles, with a skull-shaped buckle positioned on the outside of each ankle. Her usual earrings are replaced by golden ones in the shape of octopus sausage, a snack common in Japan, and she has a magenta octopus tentacle ornament instead of the usual ika-somen on top of the pink shiso leaf.

Additionally, she wears DJ Octavio's hypnoshades, a pair of animated sunglasses that he uses to keep her under his influence.

After being rescued

Callie at Tentakeel Outpost

At Tentakeel Outpost in Splatoon 2, Callie's outfit appears to be similar to her Agent 1 attire, with added details from her Splatoon design. She wears a pink cardigan over a white shirt and black camisole, black shorts, a pair of brown wedge-heeled boots with pink socks underneath, white chunky hoop earrings similar to her usual ones, and a pink beanie with a yellow sea star on the right side. She no longer wears sunglasses.

Furthermore, Callie has also stated that she owns a kimono similar to the one Marie wears in Octo Canyon, but it has not been shown in-game.

Splatoon 3

Callie in Alterna

Callie sports a new outfit and yellow ink color in Splatoon 3's story mode Return of the Mammalians, to signify her role as Agent 1 in the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Her outfit is very similar to her original Squid Sisters ensemble, but with notable differences, being overall more mature and professional in appearance.

Instead of having both of her longer tentacles tied up, Callie now only ties up the left one back, while styling the right one to the front to frame her face. She wears a sleeveless black tube dress with three horizontal yellow cut-like stripes, white tights, and black ankle-high boots with silver wedge heels; the dress is made of a leathery material instead of the sequined fabric on her stage outfit. She still wears her signature ika-somen hat, but the skin of the sashimi is now black with yellow spots and rests on a yellow shiso leaf. For accessories, Callie wears chunky iridescent earrings, black gloves, a large silver choker, and a matching silver bandolier crossed over her left shoulder.

As she returns performing during Splatfests, starting with Nessie vs. Aliens vs. Bigfoot, Callie wears the same outfit as in Splatoon, albeit with a few minor tweaks, such as small buttons holding her collar and gloves, and the bottom part of her shorts glowing alongside her tights. As with the other idols, she also wears special outfits during certain Splatfests, all of which are based off her usual one.

During the Zombie vs. Skeleton vs. Ghost Splatfest, Callie's romper is made of an orange corduroy fabric with darker stripes and black underside. Her headpiece is white with light green spots, and her collar, tights and gloves are black; she also has red eyes and wears black makeup resembling stitches under her eyes and a painted nose, resembling a jack-o-lantern.

During the Friends vs. Family vs. Solo Splatfest, Callie wears a fuzzy, white version of her standard jumpsuit with a slight swirl pattern; she also wears a white knit scarf and matching gloves, as well as light gray sleeves and leggings, while her shoes are brown. All parts of her outfit typically affected by her variable ink colors glow in each of the three Splatfest colors in turns.

During the Baby Chicks vs. Li'l Bunnies vs. Bear Cubs Splatfest, Callie wears a pastel pink romper with all her usually white accessories colored aqua, and pink and aqua striped tights underneath; her headpiece is replaced with an aqua half Easter egg shell with a pink flower pattern and she sports a flower marking of the same color on her right cheek.

Childhood

Like her cousin, Callie's childhood appearance is depicted to have been quite unique in comparison to other Inklings, as they both already looked humanoid, contrasting with the squid-like appearance most Inklings have as children.

As a child, Callie had larger eyes and eyebrows, and her tentacles were somewhat messy, had no bangs, and were much shorter, with the longest one falling just past her left ear.

Callie was often depicted wearing traditional Japanese-style clothing as a child. Her first outfit, shown in Sunken Scroll 17, consisted of a dark magenta kimono with a white squid pattern on the sleeves and a white flower pattern towards the bottom hem. She wore a pair of thick black okobo sandals with pink thongs. Pinned to the left side of her head was a magenta shiso leaf.

For her second outfit, which was shown in promotional art for the Japanese Grasshopper vs. Ant Splatfest, Callie wore a red-orange yukata with a white jellyfish pattern and straw zōri sandals with purple thongs. She accessorized with a green shiso leaf with orange splotches on the left side of her head.

Personality and traits

Callie is very cheerful and excitable, and usually sports a grin on her face. She values her bond with her cousin Marie, with the two having been inseparable since they were young. As children, they enjoyed stargazing and playing tag together. She is particularly attentive to Marie's changes in mood, even noting when the latter wants to drink a latte based on expression alone. When by herself, however, Callie can become upset and prone to overthinking.

She is rather fond of puns and uses them from time to time, a habit that tends to annoy her cousin. She is also optimistic and caring; in the Japanese version of Splatoon, she thanks her Splatfest team for doing their best regardless of whether she won or not. Unlike Marie's sarcastic quips, Callie always seems to have something happy and innocent to say. She looks at the bright side of things while providing stage commentary.

Promo art for Show No Mercy! vs. Focus on Healing Splatfest, featuring Callie with a Hero Roller

Callie gravitates towards exciting outdoor activities, such as driving, running around, and going camping. She also loves art, decorating Octo Canyon with fabric and tape while under the influence of DJ Octavio's hypnoshades, and representing the discipline in the Art vs. Science Splatfest, though her drawings have been described cheekily by Marie as "avant-garde". She has expressed a fear of heights, ghosts, skateboarding, and even Bluefin Depot. Callie also states in Pinwheel Power Plant that she dislikes seafood, though the Squid vs. Octopus Splatfest seems to contradict this. She also hates Flooders and spinning platforms, as she easily becomes motion sick, and cannot ride a bicycle or drive, which is ironic as she represented cars in the Cars vs. Planes Splatfest.

She is incredibly rich, being described by Marie as having "more money than [she] can count" - also ironic as she did not represent money in the Love vs. Money Splatfest. Some of her Splatfest choices are energetic and uplifting - for example, her choices of Fit, Love, and Perfect Body. She also loves to eat and often talks about food, much to the chagrin and occasional disgust of Marie. Her favorite food is chips, although, like her grandfather, she also enjoys crabby cakes. Easily distracted by cute, pretty, or striking things, many of her stage comments are about something completely irrelevant to the battle.

It is mentioned numerous times in Inkopolis News dialogue that her favorite weapon class is Rollers, and her favorite special weapon seems to be the Bomb Rush. In Side Order, her signature weapon class is once again confirmed through her Palette.

In the Japanese version of Splatoon 2, Callie's speech while she is brainwashed is entirely rendered in katakana, like DJ Octavio. In Japanese media, katakana is used to display a foreign language or an accent of some sort. This implies that Callie is speaking Octarian. After Marie hits Callie with her low-tide ink, she begins to regain her ability to speak normally. During the Inkopolis Live concert at Tokaigi 2018, Callie briefly speaks in katakana as a joke. While brainwashed, Callie becomes ruthless and power-hungry and uses cruel jokes, even referring to her cousin Marie as "grandma". This is a reference to the final Splatfest announcement dialogue, where Callie said to Marie "You and your gray hair are going down, grandma!".

Although mainly cheerful, Callie can occasionally get tired of Marie's sassiness and make cruel comments herself, which she is very prone to while brainwashed. This is seen when she "got personal" during the result announcement of the Early Bird vs. Night Owl Splatfest and the Naughty vs. Nice Splatfest where she asked Marie why she was the one on Team Naughty, in which she ends up getting frightened and says she never meant anything by it.

History

Early life

Callie and Marie winning Inkopolis' first annual Youth Folk-Singing Contest.

Callie 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, Marie. Their stunning performance earned them a standing ovation from the audience, as well as a first-place trophy and certificate. However, this success did not make them instant stars. Although Callie eventually joined Marie in creating the Squid Sisters pop group, for a time after their move to Inkopolis together, the two struggled to make ends meet, and so worked part-time at Walleye Warehouse during their early years as professional singers. Callie also worked part-time at Piranha Pit.

Despite these setbacks, they eventually rose in fame, quickly becoming Inkopolis' premier pop icons in the process.

Splatoon

Callie and Marie in the Inkopolis News studio

By the events of Splatoon, the Squid Sisters had become household names in Inkopolis Plaza, with one of their celebrity jobs being hosting Inkopolis News. Callie usually opened with humorous statements regarding stage news, gently poking fun at Marie in the process. She also helped announce updates and Splatfest news and could be seen chatting with Marie in the Inkopolis News Studio. Whenever a Splatfest occurred, Callie and Marie could be seen singing and dancing to City of Color atop trucks in the Plaza equipped with platforms and stage equipment. Across all regions, Callie's team won 25 Splatfests, while Marie's only won 18.

Agent 1's icon in Octo Valley

Callie also made a major appearance during Octo Valley. After initially making a news broadcast about the disappearance of the Great Zapfish, she appeared as Agent 1 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, led by her grandfather, Cap'n Cuttlefish, with Marie as Agent 2. After she was recruited by Cuttlefish, Callie was responsible for recruiting Marie. Throughout Octo Valley, Callie is heard communicating with Cuttlefish, Marie, and Agent 3 regarding the looming Octarian menace. Once Cuttlefish was kidnapped after Agent 3 defeated the Octomaw, the two agents acted as Agent 3's mentors in his place, albeit in disguise, not revealing their true identities.

The group eventually reunited during Enter the Octobot King!. As the final phase of the battle with DJ Octavio began, Callie and Marie performed the Calamari Inkantation, revealing their true identities as the Squid Sisters, freeing Cuttlefish, and spurring Agent 3 to defeat Octavio. The two revealed the Great Zapfish's return on Inkopolis News, not disclosing their part in its rescue, and performed Maritime Memory over the credits.

After Splatoon

As detailed in the Squid Sisters Stories, by nine months after the Callie vs. Marie Splatfest, the Squid Sisters rocketed to new heights of popularity, becoming the biggest stars in Inkling society. After releasing her solo record, Bomb Rush Blush, Callie began making guest appearances on variety shows and eventually became a TV drama actress. With this extra fame and work, they eventually stepped down as hosts of Inkopolis News to focus on their solo careers and were replaced by Pearl and Marina of Off the Hook.

With work forcing the Squid Sisters continually further apart, Marie began to worry that the Splatfest had harmed their relationship. Eventually sharing a day off, the two met up to dispel their worries and agreed on taking a short trip home to Calamari County. However, Callie never arrived, prompting Marie to leave and search for her. Realizing that the Great Zapfish had also gone missing and Cap'n Cuttlefish was not around to guard DJ Octavio, Marie left to Inkopolis Square to find an Inkling who could help her.

An important note to her character heavily implied in the relationship chart is that Callie could have willingly gone to the Octarians as a way to escape her life as a celebrity. In her relationship chart with DJ Octavio, they seem to have an ongoing conversation of Callie joining the Octarians with her saying "OK, fine. I'll hear you out". She's also shown to have no resentment towards the Octarians after or before being brainwashed by some of her dialogue in Splatoon 2 (and again in the relationship chart).

Splatoon 2

In Splatoon 2, Marie recruited Agent 4 to explore Octo Canyon and help find Callie and the Great Zapfish. While doing so, Marie began receiving peculiar radio messages that were later revealed to be coming from Callie. When Agent 4 and Marie finally discovered Callie in Bomb Rush Blush, they found out that she had fallen under the influence of DJ Octavio's "hypnoshades" and was working as one of his subordinates. During the following battle, Marie managed to shoot off the hypnoshades with her Hero Charger, bringing Callie back to her senses and eventually reuniting the Squid Sisters. After DJ Octavio was defeated for the second time, the Squid Sisters made a new single, Fresh Start, which is played over the credits. If the final boss mission is replayed, Callie's reason for siding with the Octarians again is that the hypnoshades "look good on her".

As revealed in Version 3.0.0, Callie later joined Marie at Cuttlefish Cabin. During their conversations with Agent 4, Callie provides statistical information about the player and a daily "lucky weapon" horoscope, with the following as an example:

English

If the Octo Expansion has been completed, Callie additionally learns from Marie about Cap'n Cuttlefish and Agent 3's involvement in Marina's chat room.

Splatoon 3

Callie, Marie, and the Captain in Alterna

As part of the New Squidbeak Splatoon along with Marie and the Captain, Callie has been doing reconnaissance work into a previously undiscovered shelter that was abandoned by humans, called Alterna. The new Agent 3 first encounters the trio on Future Utopia Island after falling into Alterna due to a cave-in. Callie accompanies Agent 3 as they complete challenges across the six sites, occasionally rewarding them with power eggs.

After Agent 3 bests the three bosses and collects all components of the treasure, Callie and Marie assemble the machine for the Captain to use in order to remove all of the Fuzzy Ooze surrounding the Alterna Space Center, where the Squid Sisters grandfather, Craig Cuttlefish, has been taken captive. After the members of Deep Cut become 'underlings' of Marie, Callie expresses excitement at Marie's new position as 'boss'.

When the New Squidbeak Splatoon finally reaches Craig Cuttlefish, they are heartbroken to find that their grandfather has presumably been dehydrated. However, Cuttlefish is revived after a tear from the Captain falls on him.

As Agent 3 battles Mr. Grizz in space, Callie, along with Marie, Deep Cut, and DJ Octavio, perform Calamari Inkantation 3MIX in order to hype them up for battle.

Callie also shows great admiration towards Deep Cut, as shown in her dialogue in Alterna, finishing Deep Cut's intro before singing Calamari Inkantation 3MIX.

In the manga series

Callie, along with Marie, first appeared in Issue 1 of the CoroCoro manga Splatoon, where she announced the CoroCoro Cup. She and Marie are hosts and commentators for that tournament. She also told Team Blue about Booyah Base along with Marie.

In the Hero Mode issue, she, along with Marie, takes the role of Agents 1 and 2. They appear in the fight against DJ Octavio and battle alongside both Agent 3s, with Callie using the Hero Roller.

Callie doesn't make another appearance in the manga until Volume 11, where like in the game, she is brainwashed by DJ Octavio and fights Agents 3 and 4; Goggles and Gloves respectively. Her role during this arc is similar to her role in Splatoon 2.
