Marie

Appearance:

Splatoon: 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 with an unsaturated gray gradient. 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 dress, which has no sleeves and ends in a skirt, is black with a reflective texture. On the front are three neon green marks, which, somewhat morbidly, are made to look like the cuts made in squid when it is cooked, and the inside skirt facing is also green. With this outfit, she wears lime green tights, black shorts, white gloves, and a small, white, shirt collar necklace. Marie also 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 a calamari ring and has a beauty mark 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, including the ends of her tentacles.

As a child, Marie wore traditional Japanese-style clothing, and her tentacles were much shorter and messier. Her first outfit, shown in Sunken Scroll 17, consisted of a black yukata with a white polka dot pattern at the bottom, and a pair of thick black zōri with pink thongs. On the left side of her head, she wore a green and white accessory that simply looked like a smaller version of her current calamari hat.

For her second outfit, which was shown in promotional art for the Japanese Grasshopper vs. Ant Splatfest, Marie wore a white yukata with a seashell pattern in lime green, navy blue, and dull purple. The calamari accessory had taken on a dark purple tint in addition to its existing colors. Splatoon 2: In Splatoon 2, Marie has grown taller and sports a new outfit: a traditional Japanese-style clothing that resembles the outfit that she wore as a child. Her outfit consists of a black and dark grey kimono with gold triangle patterns around the waist and carries a green parasol with the Cuttlegear brand logo on it. She also wears a pair of traditional Japanese sandals, or 'geta', and a different, pink, headpiece described in The Art of Splatoon 2 as being reminiscent of cooked shrimp. The kimono bears the Kensaki (Toni Kensa) family emblem, although the connection is unknown, and she carries a green and white oil-paper umbrella. However, during the final boss fight against DJ Octavio and a brainwashed Callie, Marie will arrive with Sheldon, wearing her Squid Sisters outfit again to help Callie break free of Octavio's brainwashing and rejoin her to beat him for good. Splatoon 3: In Splatoon 3, Marie sports a new outfit: a new outfit similar to her attire from the first game. She wears a long white jacket with three bright yellow marks, which, somewhat morbidly, are made to look like the cuts made in squid when it is cooked, she wears grayish black tights, and black gloves. She also wears a pair of black tabi socks with visible stitches that resemble the Non-slip Senseis. There are lime green non-slip pads attached to the soles, and she carries her Japanese oil-paper umbrella from Splatoon 2. Her green and white calamari accessory is now black and white with dark greenish spots, her tentacles are now white with a faint yellowish green tinge at the ends of her tentacles.

Personality:

Marie, like her cousin, has an extremely complicated personality which has grown more complex as the games go on; she is first introduced as generally laid-back, reserved. but also very prone to being sassy and sarcastic, especially to her cousin. Although she cares for her cousin and her music and her fans, she often doesn’t show it and prefers instead to make sassy and sarcastic comments in the first game. This makes her a good foil to Callie, who is more energetic and peppy, with a kind and innocent demeanor. However, in Splatoon 2, when Callie goes missing, Marie’s care for her cousin is put on blatant display, as she is so worried for her cousin she seems to fall into a state of self-loathing and worry, reverting back to wearing traditional Japanese-style clothing like she did when she was a child, often trying to act sassy in front of Agent 4 (but deep down her thoughts are shown as melancholy, and she is unable to focus without Callie), and her mood improves greatly when Callie comes back, although she generally holds back a lot of her sassy comments, as if she is scared of Callie running away again.

In Splatoon 3, Marie’s personality becomes somewhat of a fusion of the melancholy one shown in Splatoon 2 and the sassy one shown in Splatoon 1, with her still having a fondness for Japanese parasols, and retaining her love for sassy remarks, although she generally doesn’t make them about Callie anymore and instead prefers to make them about other people. She also somewhat smiles more than she used to, implying she is generally more happy than not with Callie back and a new Agent 3.
