Marie

Marie is one half of the globally famous pop idols “Squid Sisters,” along with her cousin, Callie. Their lyrics and choreographies charm large audiences at every live performance they give. It's common to see them giving concerts during Splatfests and tours. Additionally, they both work part-time broadcasting Inkopolis Plaza news. They're both granddaughters of the legendary captain Craig Cuttlefish, and work undercover in his reformed Squidbeak Splatoon, Marie having the codename “Agent 2”, and Callie being “Agent 1.” Marie is a skilled sniper, as her main weapon is a charger, which is the inkling version of a sniper rifle.

Marie was born and raised in Calamari County, regularly counting the stars with her cousin Callie at night. At a young age, she became interested in singing and entered Inkopolis' first annual Youth Folk-Singing Contest with 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 resented this job, saying that the best thing about it "was quitting" and burning her uniform, despite thinking that her co-workers were nice. Eventually, Marie joined Callie in creating the Squid Sisters, slowly rising in notoriety to become Inkopolis' premier pop icons.

Regarding her 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 sarcastic from time to time, and is slightly prone to complaining, but is usually in a mild mood. Overall, her disposition is laid-back and friendly, although she gets easily annoyed and can be grumpy sometimes. She is also an expert at doing impressions, as mentioned by Agent 1. She has a small mouth.

She dislikes overly thrilling activities and can even be somewhat lazy. She also shows signs of being a picky eater as she refuses to eat the ends of loaves of bread and does not seem to be a fan of vegetables, even to the extent of saying that she would rather eat a Splattershot than vegetables. She dislikes getting dirty, and Team Order for the Chaos vs. Order Splatfest for her affinity to keep things "neat and nice."

Marie has a cheeky side, which manifests in her constant teasing of Callie. However, she constantly stresses about Callie's well-being. Many of Marie's Splatfest choices are lazy, smart, and sassy.

Marie is a 19-year-old very fashionable Inkling with a remarkable resemblance to her cousin, having a more "laid-back" design than her in comparison. She has a light peach skin tone and light gray tentacles, two of which are longer and usually tied in a large bow on the right side of her head; they wrap around to the other side and curl up slightly at the tips, which have a green gradient and are decorated with spots. Additionally, she has a right-parted bang and a smaller one on the left, 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 right eye, mirroring the one on Callie's left cheek. Unlike the usual Inkling eye mask, Marie's eye markings are more droopy, with two small eyelash-like points each; her ears are slightly narrower, longer, and more downturned than those of the average Inkling. Marie's stature is generally depicted as average.

When performing a concert, Marie wears a black strapless romper that includes a skirt and a heart-shaped neckline; the corset is form-fitting and closes with green 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 green fabric underneath; they resemble the cuts made in ikayaki, or grilled squid, a popular Japanese festival food. With this outfit, she wears lime green tights, white gloves, white chunky hoop earrings, and a detached white shirt collar. On her feet, Marie wears a pair of ankle-high black boots, with green wedge heels and a green button on both sides of the ankle. In addition to her tights, Marie also wears black shorts under her dress, which are usually unseen; the lining of her skirt is green to match her tights as well. On the left side of her head is a green and white ornament resembling a calamari ring.

When undercover as an agent or when she wants to hide from fans, Marie wears a more undercover outfit, with only the top half shown. She wears what seems to be a green shirt, a green baseball hat with a logo similar to that of the clothing brand Firefin, and a white facemask. Her tentacles appear to be in the same hairstyle as her idol outfit, peeking out from the back of her cap. Her attire suggests she is trying to hide her identity from fans that happen to see her.

Sometimes, Marie also wears traditional Japanese-style clothing, similar to how she dressed as a child. She wears a dark gray kimono decorated with a green and yellow wave pattern at the hem, in a style not unlike the traditional Japanese seigaiha pattern. Around her waist is a green obi belt with a squid-shaped golden obidome charm. On top, she wears a black haori jacket with hanging sleeves and a triangle squid pattern along the bottom hem, similar to the traditional Japanese uroko pattern. On her feet are white tabi socks and black zori sandals with green thongs. She also carries a green wagasa parasol prop she got from a costume shop. It has a Cuttlegear brand logo printed on and a small green squid charm hanging from the handle through a piece of magenta rope.
