Marina Ida

Marina Ida, also known as DJ_Hyperfresh, is one of two members of Off the Hook, and the replacement for the Squid Sisters in Splatoon 2 as the host of Inkopolis News in their studio within Inkopolis Square. Her signature color is teal. She is voiced by Alice Peralta. Marina's hair looks almost the same as most Octolings, but it is black like an Elite Octoling's hair instead of the usual red of a standard Octoling. Her hair is also worn down with a light teal color gradient at the edges. Like most Octolings, her eyes do not connect in the same way that Inklings' eyes do, but hers are a silvery/cool grey color as opposed to teal as well as eyelashes. Her eyes have a salmon pink hue in the center. Marina also wears a pair of teal headphones on her head. She has a short black sleeveless vest revealing her midriff, with the large silver zipper pulled most of the way down and grey low-rise shorts and fingerless black gloves that show her teal gradient fingertips. She wears teal tights under her shorts and has black boots that, like her vest, have their silver zippers pulled down. In Octo Expansion, Marina, also known as DJ Hyperfresh (or in the chat logs, DJ_Hyperfresh) wears a more hip-hop attire than her pop stage outfit, resembles rapper Tupac Shakur. She wears a white bandana that is wrapped around her head with light gray designs, a long, silver chain necklace with an infinity symbol pendant (similar to her zippers from her stage outfit) around her neck, a black wristwatch and black chain bracelet on her right arm, a white turtleneck crop top, light teal capris, and silver bowed, gray-white shoes. She also retains her headphones. As an Octoling warrior, Marina's tentacles were shoulder-length and she wore the Octoling Goggles, Octoling Armor, and Octoling Boots with Elite Octoling seaweed on the sides of her head, first shown in Marina's Chat Room and again on the back of the Splatoon 2 Live in Makuhari -Tentalive- limited-edition slipcover. During the Final Fest, she wore a metallic dress with a number eight cut at the chest and very long sleeves that turned into gloves, and matching boots that were higher than the hem of the dress. She also had two diamond shapes painted on her face and a different pair of headphones, with diamond shapes instead of circles. In Splatoon 3, Marina wears an orange/blue-colored pantsuit with the coat open revealing her sports bra, black gloves, and black-blue high heels. She wears a different pair of headphones with teal rings on the sides of them; her tentacles have the same hairstyle but are now dark shade of purplish brown with sparkly blue edges similar to her voice actress' former hair color, her fingers and toes are pointed and blue at the tips. Marina is more reserved than Pearl. She speaks in a sweet, gentle manner, very excitable, and can get very sassy in response to others, though she appears to be shy as well. While she is reserved, she isn't worried over expressing herself, given her visual design. She seems to be pretty forgetful at times and has been observed to forget the news she and Pearl are broadcasting. Her timidity shows when she sees an Inkling watching her through the window; when she notices them, she smiles awkwardly and waves. This behavior most likely comes from the fact that many believe her to be an Inkling in spite of her different language and appearance, which are said to simply be some type of new fashion. Marina has not told Pearl of her past, and only talked to her about it after her file was extracted from Cuttlefish’s Octarian database. She expresses fear over coming out to the public regarding her being an Octoling, but Pearl insists that she’ll be beloved regardless. In Japan, Marina's speech is occasionally rendered in katakana, indicating an accent of some sort. Unlike DJ Octavio, she does not speak completely in katakana. However, in the Splatune 2 liner notes, her lyrics are entirely in katakana, which is supposed to show that her singing is in a different language. Marina is shown to be an enthusiast regarding all sorts of technology and incredibly skilled at operating heavy equipment, and when she first arrived at the Inkling world, she did not understand the language and had to learn it from Pearl.
