Jel La Fleur is a character in Splatoon 3 and runs the clothing shop in Splatsville, Man-o'-Wardrobe.

Appearance

Jel La Fleur is a dark blue jellyfish with some distinctive traits untypical of his kind. His head has tentacle-like protrusions, several lines on the darker blue core, both causing him to resemble a flower hat jelly, and he has several bumps on his "chin", resembling a mouth. He wears a black open jacket over a green shirt with a spike pattern, with the spikes sporting many different colors. He also wears a pair of glasses with circular lenses.

Personality and traits

Jel La Fleur is enthusiastic and up-to-date regarding fashion, but is very snooty and looks down on his customers, even saying that the supposed superiority of his Tableturf Battle deck could serve as "a comfort in [the player's] pitiful defeat." Similarly to how Jelfonzo uses outdated Inkling due to learning the language through ancient text, Jel La Fleur uses archaic speech mannerisms.

A jellyfish with a keen eye for fashion.
Jel La Fleur may be soft and squishy, but the trendy clothing this jellyfish offers is on point. Jel runs the clothing boutique Man-O'-Wardrobe[sic], which specializes in tops like T-shirts and jackets. These stylish items have function as well as form—they come with abilities that can help you in battle.

USA North America (English)

When a player below level 4 enters the shop:

  • "Ah, you are here. Good. Or not. Tell me - can one below level 4 not see one's own level? The audacity of shopping at such a low level! Please, visit the lobby and partake of many Turf War battles before you return. I REQUIRE IT."

When a player at level 4 or above enters the shop for the first time:

  • "Ah, you are here. Good. Welcome to Man-o'-Wardrobe. I see that you are a fresh and fashionable person, so I will allow you to shop here. HOWEVER! You must respect the merchandise. Filthy hands are a lifetime ban. Now then, surely you are aware of gear abilities, yes? These can help you fight and win battles. Do you wish to attain the same level of knowledge as me? Then press and prepare to learn!"

When a player at level 10 or above enters the shop for the first time:

  • "You think I haven't noticed? That you have attained level 10? I NOTICE ALL! Do not think that you have become so fresh that our clothing cannot make you fresher yet!"

When a player at level 20 or above enters the shop for the first time:

  • "Ah, you are here. Good. Welcome to Man-o'-Wardrobe. Your freshness has risen yet again. I detect it! However, do not make the mistake of believing the student has become the teacher. I remain the fashion teacher!"

When a player at level 30 or above enters the shop for the first time:

  • "The day has come. You have become fresh enough to impress even me. Will you become the next great fashion icon? I will do everything in my power to make it so."

When spending at least 100,000 cash for the first time:

  • "Ahem. There is something I should bring to your attention. You have bought many clothes from me and worn them with respect and panache. Therefore I have prepared an item of thanks. BEHOLD. I give you now the badge of fashion. It is yours to wear in style."

When spending at least 1,000,000 cash for the first time:

  • "And now you must allow me one minor indulgence. You have been such a wonderful customer. And always of the highest fashion sense! It is my honor to give you the most special badge of all. DO NOT SHARE THESE WORDS WITH ANYONE. But do wear the badge at all times with honor. Thank you and come again."

When entering the shop without an internet connection:

  • "Ah, you are here. Good. Or not. It seems you are disconnected from the internet. Is this the style now? I WILL NOT ABIDE IT. Make your way to the lobby and connect before fashion changes again."

When entering the shop:

  • "Ah, you are here. Good."

When the shop stocks an item of already-owned clothing for the first time:

  • "Ah, now we encounter what I call a "fashion conundrum." You have a choice to make...When clothing that you already own is in stock, you can raise its star power or trade in your clothing to reset its abilities. So? What say you? In this matter, Jel La Fleur cannot advise you."

When selecting an item of clothing:

  • "Are you decided?"

When selecting an item of already-owned clothing:

  • "An opportunity presents itself. Will you raise the star power of your clothing, or trade it in to reset the abilities?"

When deciding whether to exchange an item of clothing:

  • "I offer now this reminder. You will reset the star power and abilities if you do this. Are you sure?"

When trying to trade in an item of clothing that has the same main ability:

  • "No, no, no, no, no. The item in question already has the same primary gear ability. Trading in your item in this case has no meaning. No function, no fashion!"

When selecting an item of already-owned clothing with max star power:

  • "No, no, no, no, no. The item in question already has maximum star power. How could you want more?"

When selecting an item of clothing already bought on the same day:

  • "You're in need of a duplicate? Perhaps I should not complain. But perhaps this is a mistake."

When selecting an item of clothing already bought on the same day in Inkopolis:

  • "Ah, that item has unfortunately been sold. You just missed it."

After buying an item of clothing:

  • "Wear it out?"

After the player is offered to equip a purchase:

  • "Very well. Now then, if you wish to change clothes, you must open the Equip menu."

When not having enough cash:

  • "...Are you testing Jel La Fleur's patience? You do not have enough cash for this transaction!"

After purchasing an item of clothing during a Splatfest:

  • "Thank you very much. But you cannot change clothes now–we are in the middle of a Splatfest. IT SIMPLY ISN'T DONE."

Netherlands Dutch

When a player below level 4 enters the shop:

  • "Ah, daar bent u dan. Ik zou u graag welkom heten, maar ik vermoed dat mijn mode nog wat te hoog gegrepen is voor uw bescheiden niveau. Kunt u uw niveau wellicht verhogen tot minimaal niveau 4? Ik raad u aan naar de lobby te gaan en meerdere partijen Grondoorlog te spelen. Dat zal uw niveau ongetwijfeld ten goede komen."
(Ah, there you are. I would gladly welcome you, but I suspect that my fashion is still somewhat too ambitious for your modest level. Can you perhaps raise your level to a minimum of level 4? I recommend that you go to the lobby and to play multiple game of Turf War. That will undoubtedly benefit your level.)

When a player at level 4 or above enters the shop for the first time:

  • "Ah, daar bent u dan. Welkom in Modusa. U komt vers en modieus genoeg op mij over om hier te winkelen. Ik vraag u echter dringend om mijn koopwaar niet te besmeuren! Raak niets aan als uw tentakels onder de inkt zitten!"
(Ah, there you are. Welcome to Man-o'-Wardrobe. You come across as fresh and fashionable enough to me to be shopping here. However, I urge you not to besmear my merchandise! Do not touch anything if your tentacles are covered in ink!)
  • "Zoals u mogelijk weet, heeft het dragen van uitrusting bepaalde effecten. Die effecten geven u voordelen in de strijd. Naast kleding ben ik bereid mijn kennis tentoon te spreiden. Drukt u maar eens op om van mijn kundigheid te profiteren."
(As you may know, wearing gear has certain abilities. Those abilities give you advantages in battle. In addition to clothing, I am willing to put my knowledge on display. Do simply press to profit from my expertise.)

When a player at level 10 or above enters the shop for the first time:

  • "Ah, daar bent u dan. Welkom in Modusa. U heeft niveau 10 bereikt. Bravo! Uw versheid staat buiten kijf, maar u kunt nog immer verser worden met de juiste kleding. Modusa's kleding."
(Ah, there you are. Welcome to Man-o'-Wardrobe. You have reached level 10. Bravo! Your freshness is beyond doubt, but you can become even fresher with the correct clothing.)

When a player at level 20 or above enters the shop for the first time:

  • "Ah, daar bent u dan. Welkom in Modusa. Uw versheid heeft wederom een hoger niveau bereikt. Het is mij een genoegen om te zien dat u veel van mij hebt geleerd."
(Ah, there you are. Welcome to Man-o'-Wardrobe. Your freshness has once more reached a higher level. It is my pleasure to see that you have learned much from me.)

When a player at level 30 or above enters the shop for the first time:

  • "Ah, daar bent u dan. Welkom in Modusa. Staat u mij toe te zeggen dat uw versheid geen grenzen kent. U wordt onderhand al een mode-icoon genoemd, wat ik als uw stylist van harte kan beamen."
(Ah, there you are. Welcome to Man-o'-Wardrobe. Allow me to say that your freshness knows no bounds. You are by now being named a fashion icon, which as your stylist I can wholeheartedly assent to.)

When spending at least 10,000 cash for the first time:

  • "Ahem. Er is iets wat ik met u wil bespreken. Iets positiefs. U heeft inmiddels een grote hoeveelheid van mijn kleding gekocht en daarmee door de stad geflaneerd. Uit dank voor uw trouwe klandizie en modegevoel, bied ik u deze badge aan. Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat u hem met stijl zult dragen."
(Ahem. There is something I want to discuss with you. Something positive. You have by now purchased a large quantity of my clothing and have sauntered around town with them. In gratitude for your loyal patronage and fashion sense, I offer you this badge. I am convinced that you will wear it with style.)

When spending at least 1,000,000 cash for the first time:

  • "Ik hoop dat u het mij niet kwalijk neemt dat ik een moment stilsta bij een heugelijke gebeurtenis. U bent werkelijk een voorbeeldige klant met een voortreffelijk stijlgevoel, en een gulle hand! Ik heb een speciale badge voor u laten maken uit dank voor al uw bezoekjes. Ik hoop dat u die badge met trots zult dragen en dat ik u hier nog vaak mag verwelkomen."
(I hope you will not hold it against me to take a moment to commemorate a joyous event. You are truly an exemplary customer with an exquisite sense of style, and a generous hand! I had a special badge made for you out of thanks for all your visits. I hope you will wear that badge with pride, and that I may welcome you here many times to come.)

When entering the shop without an internet connection:

  • "Ah, daar bent u dan. Welkom in... O, dat valt tegen. Ik had wel vernomen dat het mode is om niet verbonden te zijn met het internet, maar dat geldt niet in mijn etablissement. Kunt u deze faux pas corrigeren in de lobby?"
(Ah, there you are. Welcome to... Oh, that is disappointing. I had heard that it is the fashion not to be connected to the internet, but that does not apply in my establishment. Could you correct this faux pas in the lobby?)

When entering the shop:

  • "Ah, daar bent u dan. Welkom in Modusa."
(Ah, there you are. Welcome to Man-o'-Wardrobe.)

When entering the shop through or :

  • "Ah, daar bent u dan."
(Ah, there you are.)

When the shop stocks an item of already-owned clothing for the first time:

  • "Ik benijd u niet om het modedilemma waar u voor staat... Wanneer u kleding bezit die ik op voorraad heb, kunt u ervoor kiezen om uw kleding zeldzamer te maken of in te wisselen om de effecten ervan terug te draaien. De keuze is aan u, ik kan niet bepalen wat voor u het beste is."
(I do not envy you the fashion dilemma you face... If you own clothing that I have in stock, you can choose to boost your clothing's star power or exchange to revert its abilities. The choice is yours, I cannot determine what is best for you.)

When selecting an item of clothing:

  • "Is dit uw keuze?"
(Is this your choice?)

When selecting an item of already-owned clothing:

  • "Denkt u maar goed na over uw keuze. Wilt u uw kleding zeldzamer maken of inwisselen om de effecten ervan terug te draaien?"
(Do think carefully about your choice. Do you want to boost the star power or exchange your clothing to revert the abilities of it?)

When deciding whether to exchange an item of clothing:

  • "Ik herinner u eraan dat hierdoor de zeldzaamheid en effecten worden teruggedraaid. Wilt u dit?"
(I remind you that thereby the star power and abilities will be reverted. Would you like this?)

When trying to trade in an item of clothing that has the same main ability:

  • "Neen, neen. Deze artikelen hebben hetzelfde hoofdeffect. Doet u dus geen moeite om ze om te wisselen, het resultaat blijft hetzelfde."
(Nay, nay. These items have the same main ability. So don't bother exchanging them, the result remains the same.)

When selecting an item of already-owned clothing with max star power:

  • "Neen, neen. Dit artikel kan simpelweg niet zeldzamer worden. Ik bewonder uw drang naar perfectie, maar u hoeft niet verder te zoeken als u het al hebt bereikt."
(Nay, nay. This item's star power simply cannot be boosted any further. I admire your drive for perfection, but you need look no further if you have already achieved it.)

When selecting an item of clothing already bought on the same day:

  • "Zoekt u een extra exemplaar? Als handelaar kan ik u dat niet afraden, maar het u aanraden kan ik ook niet."
(Are you looking for an extra sample? As a trader, I cannot advise you against this, but I cannot recommend it to you either.)

When selecting an item of clothing already bought on the same day in Inkopolis:

  • "Ach en wee. Dat artikel is vlak voor uw neus weggekaapt. Ik heb u niets te bieden dan welgemeende excuses."
(Oh and woe. That item was snatched right from under your nose. I have nothing to offer you but heartfelt apologies.)

After buying a piece of clothing:

  • "Wilt u dit dragen?"
(You want to wear this?)

After the player is offered to equip a purchase:

  • "Uitstekend. Mocht u van kleding willen wisselen, dan kan dat in het uitrustingsscherm."
(Excellent. If you want to change clothes, then that is possible in the equip screen.)

When not having enough cash:

  • "Het spijt me u hierop te moeten wijzen, maar u lijkt te krap bij kas te zitten om dit aan te schaffen."
(I am sorry to point this out to you, but you seem to be too tight on funds to purchase this.)

After purchasing an item of clothing during a Splatfest:

  • "Ik dank u vriendelijk. U zult deze kleding nog wel even moeten opbergen tot na het Splatfest. Het is een faux pas om andere kleding te dragen dan wat het Splatfest voorschrijft."
(I thank you kindly. You will have to store these clothes away until after the Splatfest. It is a faux pas to wear clothing other than what the Splatfest dictates.)
