“	It's another great day, so let's give it our best! Yeah!	”
	— Dialogue in Tentakeel Outpost

Callie (アオリ, Aori^?, lit. Bigfin reef squid), is a recurring character in the Splatoon franchise, and 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. She is voiced by Keity.pop and her signature color is pink.

Splatoon 3[]

S3 Squid Sisters — Callie's outfit in Splatoon 3.

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.

For the Grand Festival, she wears a white, short, sleeveless turtleneck with two loops of small chrome plates surrounding her neck, a beige skirt and white gloves. She wears long spikes in the knot of her tentacles, and beige ankle boots with gray laces and soles.

Personality[]

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, who she occasionally has sassy remarks towards as a joke.

Hosting Duties[]

Inkopolis News[]

Inkopolis News is Inkopolis' news program, announcing events and updates on new features in Splatoon. Inkopolis News Studio can be found on the upper level of Inkopolis Plaza, where the Squid Sisters can be seen in their studio.

Splatfest[]

Callie used to host Splatfest events, a multiplayer event in which players of a region divided into opposing team, with Callie and Marie each representing a different team. Callie's team is always shown on the left side of the Splatfest artwork and Marie's team is on the right. For the duration of the event, their clothes and tentacles temporarily change color to match that of their team's ink and they perform a live concert in Inkopolis atop trucks outfitted with stage equipment.

At the top left corner of the box showing the player's Splatfest Power is a pair of eyes representing the Squid Sister they have sided with players on Callie's team see her angular eyes, and those on Marie's team see her heavy-lidded eyes. Both versions have their signature pupils, but with a dark red color instead of the usual gold.

During the results of the 15th North American Splatfest Early Bird vs. Night Owl, Callie got sick of Marie's attitude, causing the duo to argue about who won more Splatfests before getting personal. This hinted at the announcement of the Final Splatfest; Callie vs. Marie, which was confirmed to last 48 hours, as opposed to the usual 24-hour duration of a standard Splatfest.

History[]

Splatoon[]

Sunkenscroll17 — Callie and Marie in their younger days.

Callie and Marie were from Calamari County, where they were born and raised. After they won Inkopolis' first annual Youth Folk-Singing Contest, they moved to Inkopolis where they began their career as announcers for Splatfests and musicians.

When first beginning Splatoon's Hero Mode, Cap'n Cuttlefish refers to the player as Agent 3, as they are the third agent of the New Squidbeak Splatoon to fight off the Octarians. He even states that the equipment given to the player is a hand-me-down from the previous two agents. Towards the end of Hero Mode, it is heavily implied that Agents 1 and 2 were in fact Callie and Marie, respectively. Among other clues, Agent 1 almost refers to Agent 2 as "Marie", and the Squid Sisters are seen reporting on the return of the Great Zapfish while pretending not to know how it came back.

After Cuttlefish is kidnapped, the Squid Sisters will serve as the player's mission control until DJ Octavio is defeated. Also, as stated in the Sunken Scrolls and the dialogue for refighting DJ Octavio, Callie and Marie started their career after they won a singing contest.

Between the events of Splatoon and Splatoon 2[]

After the last Splatfest of Splatoon, the Squid Sisters grew in popularity, but Callie and Marie took separate paths, leading to the events of Splatoon 2. The story of Callie and Marie's separation was told in Squid Sisters Stories, a series of stories made available on official Splatoon websites.

Splatoon 2[]

In Splatoon 2, Callie's disappearance at the same time as the Great Zapfish alerts Marie to the return of DJ Octavio, leading to the recruitment of Agent 4. As Agent 4 made their way through Octo Canyon, Marie begins receiving peculiar radio messages that are later revealed to be coming from Callie.

When Agent 4 and Marie finally discover Callie, they learn that she has fallen under the influence of DJ Octavio's "hypnoshades" and is now working as one of his subordinates. During the following battle, Marie manages to shoot off the hypnoshades with her Hero Charger, bringing Callie back to her senses and waking her up. She is the final boss in Splatoon 2's Hero Mode alongside DJ Octavio.

Splatoon 3[]

In Splatoon 3, The Squid Sisters remain as part of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, now being led by the first game’s Agent 3(addressed as the Captain) instead of Cap’n Cuttlefish. The Squid Sisters both act as part of the support team that accompanies the new Agent 3 throughout The Crater and Alterna.

When the Squid Sisters have their first encounter with Deep Cut, Callie immediately takes a liking to the group rather than finding them intimidating. When the two encounter Deep Cut again after using the treasure, Marie gives back the treasure to Deep Cut, resulting in her becoming their boss.

During the boss fight against Mr. Grizz, Callie and Marie sing the Calamari Inkantation to evolve New Agent 3’s Smallfry into Hugefry. The cousins appear again alongside Cap’n Cuttlefish and the Captain at the end of the story mode, giving thanks to Agent 3.

In the manga series[]

The Squid Sisters first appeared in issue 1 of the CoroCoro manga Splatoon, announcing the CoroCoro Cup. They are the hosts that tournament. In the tournament (CoroCoro Cup), they were the commentators for all the matches. Then in Volume 3, they appeared in the Hero Mode chapters starring as Agent 1 & 2. After, they commentate the match between Team Gloves and Team Blue, and they seem to disappear for the rest of the series.

Trivia[]

If the player looks at the Squid Sisters through their window while they are chatting with each other in their Inkopolis Plaza studio, Callie and Marie will stop talking and wave at the player.
The Squid Sisters' puns are all squid based.
Callie and Marie's names are, when combined, wordplay on "calamari". Their names in different localizations of the game tend to be based on different puns.
- Marie realizes this if you fight the final boss of Splatoon 2 for the second time. When Callie leaps onto Marie and Sheldon's truck before phase four of the final boss, her outfit abruptly changes from her octopus-themed costume to her original Splatoon appearance.
- In the French version of the game, Callie and Marie's names are Ayo and Oly, respectively. These names together are a pun on aioli, a sauce often served with seafood, and possibly a pun on Aori-ika, the Japanese name for the Bigfin Reef Squid.
Marie given names in Japanese are derived from real-world specie: "Aori-ika" or bigfin reef squid,
- Her Spanish names is Tina, Tina is a Spanish given name and it's also the word for tub, her and Marie's Spanish names make the word "Martina", a Spanish given name.
- In the German Version of the Game, Callie's name "Aioli" is directly referencing the above-mentioned sauce.
Callie and her cousin appear to be the second oldest Inklings seen in Splatoon, the oldest being Cap'n Cuttlefish. However, one can assume many Inklings older than them that don't participate in Turf War are somewhere absent from the city. This is no longer true in Splatoon 2 as Pearl is older.
Marie and Callie's outfit designs are thought to be centered around the dishes "ika soumen", "ika rings", and "ikayaki".
Callie is a roller main, according to several bits of dialogue throughout the first and second games and her deck in Table Turf Battle.
Callie’s squid form is shown in Super Mario Maker to be a standard pink Inkling squid, but with her signature pupils and eyelash-like-marks above her eyes.
Her Table Turf Battle deck contains Octarians and DJ Octavio as a reference to how she was working with them (but brainwashed) during the events of Splatoon 2.
The English version of the game states that Callie is "brainwashed" during the events of Octo Canyon. However, in all other localizations she is said to be "hypnotized" instead.
In a piece of dialogue spoken during the stage announcements, the Squid Sisters reveal that they both have, in the past, been employees at Walleye Warehouse and that Callie can also be very clumsy,The dialogue is as follows:

Callie: "Remember working here [Walleye Warehouse] part-time back in the day?"

Marie: "Yeah, and how often you broke the assembly line..."

In the stage news for Moray Towers, The Squid Sisters reference Pokémon in one of their lines, referring to the phrase 'It's super effective!' and 'I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was' which is one of the lines from the first Pokémon anime opening.

Callie: "Rollers are super effective here!"

Marie: "Chargers are the very best, like no gun ever was!"

And when Callie and Marie announce the Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue Splatfest one of their dialogues is a reference to Team Rocket's catchphrase in the anime.

Callie: "Sigh... This Splatfest is going to be trouble."

Marie: "And make it double!"

Callie: "We'll protect Inkopolis from devastation!"

Marie: "And unite all squids within our nation!"

In the August Update, a new line has also been added, poking fun at mechanics developers implemented in order to maximize the framerate, such as Draw Distance.

Callie: "It's so foggy I can't even see the ground!"

Marie: "That's called draw distan- Er... It's smog. *COUGH*"

The sixteenth and final global Splatfest, rather than featuring the Squid Sisters taking sides on a hosted showdown, featured the Squid Sisters themselves as the teams. The final results gave Marie a 54% popularity advantage and a 51% victory ratio, making her supporters the overall Splatfest winner.
Callie, along with Marie, is the only Idol to appear in all three games.
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, scanning Amiibos of the two will unlock squirrel versions of themselves.
With Callie is missing and Marie absent to search for her, a new band, "Off the Hook", hosts Splatfests and produces music in their place.
Although it is known that Callie and Marie are cousins and judging by their appearances, it is assumed that they are the same age.
Callie's amiibo entry reads as follows:
- Callie is the cheeriest member of the pop idol duo known as the Squid Sisters in the Splatoon™ game. Along with Marie, she hosts Inkopolis News and Splatfest events, in which Inklings pick one of two sides and battle the opposing team in Turf War. These two cousins rose to fame after winning Calamari County’s first annual Youth Folk-Singing Contest, and their remarkable voices continue to rock Inkopolis!
