Now this right here is Flow. You'll find her working at Headspace, Inkopolis's spot for hats and helmets. From the way she talks, she might seem a bit loopy, but that's just part of her mysterious vibe. Word has it she's a bit older than most of her Inkling customers, and teasing them is one of her favorite pastimes. The little guy who lives among her tendrils is her erstwhile companion, Craymond, an unhinged emperor shrimp who's always got her back.

Flow (Japanese: ミウラ Miura) is a character in Splatoon 2. She is a sea slug who operates the headgear shop Headspace along with Craymond.

Appearance

Flow's clothing style resembles a 1960s hippie look; her clothes are very loose and baggy, and their colors are more earthy in tone. She wears a purple shawl with tassels over a gray shirt and a long, black dress. She wears a black beaded necklace with a teal squid shaped jewel, and has black sandals with red jewels in the center.

She has a large, orange mantle shaped like a hat with pastel green and orange striped rhinophores on her head, upon which Craymond sits. She has some structures which resemble hair, which are orange with a gradient deep pink at the tips, and come down slightly past her shoulders. Flow's eyes are emerald green with a dotted line patterns around her pupil, and has dark pink eyelashes with minty tips. She has a long tail behind her with a row of orange cerata on top of the base.

According to the Splatoon 2 Ikasu art book she has "child like" facial features but is actually much older than her appearance lets on.

Description

Flow is a very spacey and lax woman, to the point where local Inklings would call her their "crazy aunt".[1] This is also demonstrated through her speech. She is "a bit older than most of her Inkling customers, and teasing them is one of her favorite pastimes".[2]

When the player enters the shop before reaching level 4

  • "Ho, watervlo… Ik voelde je aura al voor je binnenkwam… Je hebt een sterke energie. Maar ik kan je mijn spullen niet verkopen voor je er klaar voor bent. Je moet die energie van je inzetten voor zelfontplooiing. Als je niveau 4 hebt, ben je er wel klaar voor, geloof ik. Maar je moet het niet forceren. Zoiets moet organisch gaan, weet je. Ga nu maar… Ga op zoek naar je ware zelf. Je zult jezelf wel vinden na een paar standaardgevechten."

(Ho, water flea... I already felt your aura before you came in... You have strong energy. But I can't sell you my stuff before you're ready. You have to use that energy for self-development. If you have level 4, you are ready, I believe. But you shouldn't force it. Such a thing has to go organic, you know. Now go... Go look for your true self. You will find yourself after a couple regular battles.

Nou, vanaf nu kun je die uitrusting uit de Tentashop hier ruilen, als we hetzelfde voorwerp hebben. Je herkent de uitrusting aan *!"

(O, little squid, before I forget... We offer a new service. You probably have seen that the same piece of clothing has a different main ability sometimes, if you buy it in the SplatNet Gear Shop. Well, as of now you can swap the gear of the Gear Shop here, if we have the same item. You recognize the gear by *!)

Trivia

  • Flow used to be a traveler and met the owner of Cooler Heads. The owner liked her style and offered her the job at the shop.[3]
  • One piece of concept art suggests that she was originally going to be male.
  • The Squid Research Lab says that Craymond "lives among her tendrils", despite sitting on a smooth part of her head with no other evidence that she has tendrils. Also, technically a tendril is a structure of a plant.
  • Flow was on Team Chaos for the Chaos vs. Order Splatfest, as she wished to connect with the exciting possibilities a world of chaos would bring with it.[4]
