Callie - Relaxing on a Yacht

Gender: Female

Relations: Marie (cousin) Unknown parents Cuttlefish (grandfather) Unknown aunt and uncle

Location: Inkopolis Plaza Octo Canyon Alterna

Appearance: 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 in the Spanish version, 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 ends in 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 iridescent 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 and Miitomo, Callie is a standard pink squid, but with her signature pupils and eyelash-like points on top of her eye markings.

Personality: 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.
