Callie

Callie, is one of the former hosts for the Inkopolis News program, which announces events, and battle-related news. She used to host with Marie and manage Splatfests. She is a member of the famous duo the Squid Sisters, a singing duo in Inkopolis. In Hero Mode, it is revealed that she is Craig Cuttlefish's granddaughter. She is also Agent 1 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Despite their title being "Squid Sisters", Callie and Marie are actually cousins. Callie’s tentacles, which are black with a pink gradient at the ends, are very long and tied in a large bow on the back of her head, leaving the ends to dangle. She has large, angular eyes with gold irises and light brown pupils in the shape of a plus. Her eye markings end in small points, and her eyebrows are large and oval shaped. Her ears are slightly narrower, longer, and more upturned than those of the average Inkling, and on them she wears a pair of chunky milk-white earrings. Callie’s outfit, which has no sleeves and ends in shorts, is black with a reflective texture. On the front are three pink marks, which, somewhat morbidly, are made to look like the cuts made in squid when it is cooked. With this outfit, she wears pink tights, white gloves, and a small, white, shirt collar necklace. Callie also wears a pair of black wedge shoes with a texture similar to leather, which have a shiny pink material on the bottom and two pink buttons on either side of the ankle. She wears a pink and white hat resembling the Japanese fast food ikayaki on her head and has a mole on her left cheek. During a Splatfest, any part of Callie's appearance that is normally pink will change to match the color of her Splatfest Team, including the ends of her tentacles. As a child, Callie wore traditional Japanese-style clothing, and her tentacles were somewhat messy and much shorter, with the longest one falling just past her left ear. Her first outfit, shown in Sunken Scroll 17, consisted of a purple yukata with a squid pattern on the sleeves and a flower pattern towards the bottom, and a pair of thick black zōri with purple thongs. On the left side of her head, she wore some sort of purple accessory, resembling the feather part of her hat, and her bang was swept to the left like Marie's instead of the right. While posing as Agent 1, she wears a pink beanie with a star on the left side with her bang showing, a pair of sunglasses, and what appears to be a pink T-shirt. It is unknown how her tentacles are worn as they are covered by her beanie. Noticeably, her beauty mark is not present. Her attire suggests she is hiding her real identity from any fans that may happen to see her. For her second outfit, which was shown in promotional art for the Japanese Grasshopper vs. Ant Splatfest, Callie wore a red-orange yukata with a white jellyfish pattern and thinner zōri, but still with purple thongs. The purple accessory had changed to green and red, and she had what seems to be a blue inner tube strapped to her back. While brainwashed by DJ Octavio, Callie wears a radically different outfit - a small black crop top exposing her midriff with three pink marks like her stage outfit, revealing a pink octopus-shaped temporary tattoo near her navel. Her earrings have been replaced by golden bell-shaped earrings. Her shorts appear to be made of black leather and are low cut enough to reveal a glimpse of pink fabric, possibly her undergarments, and her tights are dark purple with a magenta tinge and sequins, giving them a galactic look. She also wears boots similar to her normal ones. However, they do not have buttons, and instead of wedges, they are high heels. Additionally, she wears a pair of sunglasses revealed to be DJ Octavio's hypnoshades, which he uses to keep her under his influence. However, as phase four of the DJ Octavio fight begins, Callie's outfit abruptly changes back to her Splatoon appearance after leaping onto Marie and Sheldon's truck and rejoining Marie, reuniting the Squid Sisters for another round of overriding Octavio's music with Calamari Inkantation. At Tentakeel Outpost, Callie wears a more casual outfit: a white shirt with a black undershirt and a pink hoodie, a pair of black shorts, a pair of brown heeled shoes with pink socks sticking out, earrings, and the same pink beanie she wears as Agent 1 of the same color as her hoodie with the yellow star introduced in Splatoon. Callie wears a slightly modified version of her attire from the first game, but in different colors. She now wears a dress, which is black with a reflective texture as if covered in sequins. On the front are three yellow marks. With this outfit, she wears white tights, black gloves, and a small, white, pointed neck accessory giving the impression of a shirt collar. On her feet, Callie wears a pair of black wedge shoes with a texture like leather, which has a shiny white material on the bottom. She now wears a yellow and black Ikayaki hat on her head and a white/black sash across her chest (going from her left shoulder to the right side of her lower back). Her tentacles are now black with a yellowish tinge at the ends, however her right tentacle is now draped in front of her face, rather than being tied in the back. Callie, like her cousin, has an extremely complicated personality, which has grown more complex as the game goes on; she is first introduced as a peppy, selfless optimist with expressed fears of heights, ghosts, and losing her relationship with her cousin (a relationship which she values greatly). She is also shown as very energetic and kind, with not a bad thing to say about anyone, and a love for music, usually sporting a smile on her face. This makes her a good foil to Marie, who has more pronounced sarcastic and lazy tendencies. However, in later Splatfests of the first game, she grows somewhat tired of Marie’s sassy comments and even insults her, calling her grandma, much to the shock of Marie. In Splatoon 2, while brainwashed by DJ Octavio, her personality switches to her exact opposite— being robotic, expressionless, ruthless, and power-hungry. This Callie expresses an unhinged smile and a hatred for Marie, who she continues to insult. Although after she is saved by Marie and Agent 4, she presents a good front, acting similarly to the way she did in the first game, in Splatoon 3 it is implied that the brainwashing left her a little unstable, as she says she just wants to splat shielded Octarians “again and again and again”along with a new facial animation in which her pupils look smaller in her eyes, giving her a somewhat insane look. She is also seen smiling through her visible panic when her grandfather is kidnapped, insulting Mr. Grizz, and even saying that there is plenty wrong with her. However, even despite this, she remains generally peppy and helpful, and content with her relationship with her cousin.
