Marie Cuttlefish

Marie Cuttlefish (ホタル Hotaru) is the fashionable lime green girl of the Squid Sisters pop idol duo, former host of Inkopolis News (alongside her cousin, Callie Cuttlefish), and Agent 2 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Despite having a minor role in the original Inkling Ascension storyline, Marie plays a major role in Inkling Uprising, especially in Arc III.

Marie grew up in the Calamari County, and moved to Inkopolis with her cousin after winning the Youth Folk-Singing Contest that jump-started their career. She is an experienced and well-trained sniper, specializing in the Charger class of weapons. When their grandfather, Captain Cuttlefish, assembled a new Splatoon to combat the returning Octarians, Callie and Marie were the first two to be recruited. While the captain was on a research trip with Daniel Parker, Marie temporarily took charge.

Marie enlisted the aid of Hera Braun to help free Callie, who was under Octarian Brainwashing, during the second Octarian Uprising. However, an argument arose between the two over how the Octarians should be dealt with. The two engaged in a battle that had to be broken up by Daniel, resulting in Hera's resignation from the Splatoon and her eventual revenge plot. Several Octarians, as well as Hera, have criticized Marie after this point, accusing her of having Hera "do all the dirty work while she lazily sat back and watched."
