Jelonzo

“	Please to the shopping!	”
— Jelonzo upon entering Jelly Fresh

Jelonzo (Japanese: エチゼン Echizen) is a blue Jellyfish that owns Jelly Fresh, a clothing store in Inkopolis.

Personality and traits

Jelonzo is the charismatic clerk that runs the clothing shop. With his uncanny sense for the hottest trends, he is viewed as a fashion god of sorts by all the young squids in town. He wears a different shirt everyday. He hails from distant waters and has a strange way of speaking that can make it difficult to understand him, but that may be one of the secrets of his success. Aside from his awkward grammar, he also is known to say "BLUUH" from time to time. This may be common to jellyfish (as an onomatopoeia referencing their squishiness), or it could simply be another of Jelonzo's quirks.

Separating Jelonzo from the common jellyfish is his skin color. While other jellyfish are a blue-green, Jelonzo's skin is pure blue with a purple tinge in some areas. It also glows slightly, which has been confirmed by Callie; she often mistakes him for a "glowing ghost", as seen in one of her comments on Bluefin Depot. It is unknown if other jellyfish have this ability.

Trivia

• Jelonzo's name comes from the word "jelly," as he is a jellyfish.
• When switching to Jelly Fresh from another shop, Jelonzo can be seen with his tentacle stretched towards the rack of shirts on the back wall for an instant. This is possibly a protective gesture, as the shirts are quite shaken up when switching between shops.
