Marie is a part of the Squid Sisters and host of Inkopolis News, along with her cousin Callie.
Appearance
Marie is a very fashionable Inkling, and has a more sultry design in comparison to her cousin. Her tentacles, which are milk-white, are tied in a large bow on the right side of her head, with the ends wrapped around to the other side and curling up slightly at the ends. She has large, downturned eyes with gold irises and light brown pupils in the shape of a plus. Her eye markings end in small, slightly curved points, and her eyebrows are large and oval shaped. Her ears are slightly narrower and longer than those of the average Inkling, and on them she wears a pair of chunky, milk-white earrings. Her outfit, which has no sleeves and ends in a skirt, is black with a reflective texture, as if covered in sequins. On the front are three green marks, which, somewhat morbidly, are made to look like the cuts made in squid when it is cooked. With this outfit, she wears green tights, white gloves, and a small, white, pointed neck accessory giving the impression of a shirt collar. On her feet, Marie wears a pair of black wedge shoes with a texture similar to leather, which have a shiny green material on the bottom and two green buttons on either side of the ankle. She wears a green and white hat resembling some sort of food on her head, and has a birthmark or a lone freckle on her right cheek.
During a Splatfest, any part of Marie's appearance that is normally green will change to match the color of her Splatfest Team.
Personality
Marie is seemingly quieter and not as excitable as her cousin, and usually only gives a half-smile, if at all. She can be a little sarcastic from time to time, and slightly prone to complaining, but is usually in a good mood. Overall, her disposition is laid-back and friendly. She is also an expert at doing impressions.
She dislikes overly-thrilling activities, and can even be somewhat lazy. She also doesn't seem to be a big fan of tomatoes.
When anticipating an announcement (for example, the theme of a Splatfest, or the contents of an update), she often repeats herself in excitement. (Ex. "What is it? What is it?!")
It is hinted, particularly in Inkopolis News dialogue, that her preferred weapon class in battle is the Charger.
Early Life
Marie 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, Callie. Their stunning performance earned them a standing ovation from the audience, as well as a first place trophy and certificate.
After moving to Inkopolis, Marie worked at Walleye Warehouse with Callie. She disliked her job so much that she burned her uniform after quitting.
Career
Riding on the fame following her win at the Youth Folk-Singing Contest, Marie joined Callie in creating the Squid Sisters. Their repertoire includes a modern take on an ancient melody, a song unique to Splatfest, and a song used to defeat DJ Octavio. They have risen in notoriety, eventually becoming Inkopolis' premier pop icons, performing at Splatfests, and hosting a talk show as well as Inkopolis News.
Inkopolis News
- Main article: Inkopolis News
Marie hosts Inkopolis News with her cousin, Callie. Callie usually interjects humorous statements regarding stage news, often poking fun at Marie in the process. Marie often groans at Callie's puns, but is known to make silly comments herself. An example of this is when Callie asks her about strategic advice. Her responses can range from amusingly obvious to almost nonsensical, and may occasionally even stray off the topic of battle altogether. Marie also helps announce update and Splatfest news, and can be seen chatting with Callie in their studio on the second floor of Booyah Base.
Splatfest
- Main article: Splatfest
When a Splatfest occurs, Callie and Marie announce the theme prior to the event. When the day of the Splatfest arrives, they can be seen singing and dancing atop trucks equipped with platforms and stage equipment.
Octo Valley
As hinted throughout Octo Valley, Marie is Agent 2 and Cap'n Cuttlefish is her grandfather. While posing as Agent 2, she wears a green hat, a white face mask, and what appears to be a green t-shirt. Her attire suggests she is hiding her real identity from any fans that might happen to see her. Throughout Octo Valley, Marie is heard communicating to Cap'n Cuttlefish, Agent 1, and Agent 3 regarding the looming Octarian menace. By performing a song with Agent 1, or Callie, Marie is able to distract DJ Octavio and free the Cap'n in the Octo Valley mission Enter the Octobot King!
Trivia
- Together with Callie's name, Marie's name forms the word "calamari", which is an Italian squid dish.
- Marie's Japanese name is derived from a real-world species: "Hotaru-ika" is the Japanese name for the Firefly Squid.
- Several fans have noted that Marie resembles Jeanne from the Bayonetta series. It is unknown if this was intentional.
- During the Inkopolis News when discussing weapon preferences for Moray Towers Marie will say "Chargers are the very best, like no gun ever was." This is most likely a reference to the opening lyrics used for the intro for the first season of Pokémon's English dub. [1]
