Appearance: Marie is a 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, with her being slightly taller than the player character in Splatoon and Splatoon 2, and the same height as them in Splatoon 3.

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. Before Splatoon, it can be seen briefly flying off of her head when she jumps, akin to Callie's sashimi hairpiece; in Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass, it stays in place instead.

During a Splatfest, any part of Marie's appearance that is normally green 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, Marie is a standard green squid, but with her signature pupils and eyelash-like points on top of her eye markings.

Personality: Marie is seemingly quieter than, 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 dislikes overly thrilling activities and can even be somewhat lazy. She also show signs of being a picky eater as she refuses to eat the ends of loaves of bread[4] 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 also dislikes getting dirty, as when attacked by Agent 4 in Octo Canyon or Agent 3 in Alterna, Marie blocks their attacks with her umbrella, making it impossible to get ink on her. Marie even chose Team Order for the Chaos vs. Order Splatfest for her affinity to keep things "neat and nice."[5] Marie also seems to be cross-dominant; she has been shown writing with her right hand but holding chopsticks with her left.
