However, she does enjoy banditing and states that other than her day job of news-hosting it is what she enjoys most, and while telling Callie, Marie, and Agent 3 this grows annoyed when they are not scared (however her banditing is to steal treasure and give to the less fortunate, rather than taking all of it for herself), having a taunting side as well.

She has stated that she is not picky and will eat anything.
She has a younger brother and younger twin sister whom she loves dearly. She also loves her younger brother, but he seems to be in a rebellious phase lately.
Frye can also be slightly airheaded, noted for consistently breaking into dance in the middle of Salmon Runs instead of focusing on the enemy, as well as only focusing on the "big boss" rather than the lesser. She also prefers to use a head-on approach rather than a nuanced strategy, completely ignoring the Grizzco employee handbook and stating that her winning strategy for Turf War is to "splat your enemies...then splat them again! And again!" She can also be quite the prankster, as she has a habit of stealing her bandmates' snacks, and once gave Big Man a chocolate-covered onion on Valentine's Day.

Inklings evidently have no bones, excellent eyesight, and the ability to leap five feet in a single bound, as shown in 1 of the Sunken Scrolls . They are characterized as being aggressive. Their spoken language is composed of high-pitched gargling and creature noises.

Some of the colors that Inklings can portray.

Known colors for Inklings and their ink include orange, blue, green, lime green, purple, turquoise, yellow, and pink. These colors vary in shade slightly depending on the color of the opposing team. Additional colors appear in the story mode campaign.

The face of an Inkling girl.

Inklings are customizable. If the player chooses a girl inkling, she will have smaller, thinner eyebrows, straight cut bangs that are curve toward the left, and two long, flowing tentacles that hang from both sides of the head, resembling hair. A boy inkling has noticeably thicker eyebrows, and his main tentacles are secured into a ponytail, with a camouflage-print hairband, at the back of his head, again resembling hair.
In Splatoon 2 , the playable Inklings’ hairstyles are no longer limited to one style per gender, allowing the player more customization options, six different hairstyles are allowed for each gender. Inkling girls have a choice between their original Splatoon hairstyle, a shorter bob cut style with a mirrored bang compared to the original, a style with one long, wavy tentacle hanging on the right side of their face and a small one in the back or have their tentacles tied up into a knot. Inkling boys have a choice between their original Splatoon hairstyle, a spiked comb back hairstyle, a ponytail haircut with a tentacle hanging on the left side of their face, a buzz cut hairstyle devoid of visible tentacles with what appear to be scar marks. In Version 2.0.0, four more hairstyles were added that include two new styles for boys and two new styles for girls. For the females, they can now have a curly, shredded pigtail style (sometimes in a ponytail when wearing certain headgear) or a straight, long hairstyle with a long bang and slightly cut tips. For the males, the new hairstyles consist of a short mohawk hairstyle topped with many tiny spikes with buzzed sides or a bowl cut. Unlike Splatoon , these Inklings do not have the dark spots they had before but instead have glowing oval spots that match their ink color. Sometimes these spots will glow to a slightly different color. The dots also become a darker tone just like in Splatoon when the spots are above the gradient area of their tentacles.
Splatoon 3 offers hairstyles from both games, but also a hairstyle with one tentacle identical to the original female Inkling hairstyle, but with one tentacle in a braid tied with a black bow, a hairstyle featuring bangs from the 'buzz-cut' hairstyle from Splatoon 2 . The style's tentacles are short and curly, resembling Callie's tentacles from when she was a child. Inkling's eyes also can have 'gradients', for example, the Splatoon 3 trailer shows an Inkling girl with blue eyes that fade into light purple, and at the bottom of the eyes, light pink.
Eye color and skin tone choices also return, and Inklings now have a choice of legwear. Inkling girls can choose between their Splatoon shorts, a skirt with black shorts underneath, tight capri sweatpants, loose sport shorts, or tight black pants. Inkling boys can choose between their Splatoon shorts, looser shorts with leggings, cargo pants, leggings, and denim shorts. Legwear, unlike other pieces of gear, are part of a character's customization and have no impact on an Inkling's stats.
Inklings take on a unique appearance when they have a special weapon ready: they give off sparks, the tentacles on their head become very brightly colored and glow, bubbles form at the top of their head as if from boiling water, and they appear to be caught in a strong wind even when completely still. Their appearance goes back to normal once their special weapon has been used.
Some Inklings (namely Callie , Marie , and Pearl ) have special features such as a black/grey color on the majority of their "hair" with their ink color on the tips of the tentacle and plus-shaped pupils. These pupils are either brown or white, as opposed to the standard Inkling's black. Callie and Marie (along with some Inklings shown in Splatoon official art) have tipped curves at the bottom of their ears, giving them a slightly angular appearance. The ears can also, in Pearl's case, be incredibly small. Inklings can additionally have different skin colors (seen with KAGI of Wet Floor ) and multiple different ink colors at once (seen with Yōko of Ink Theory ).

The growth of an Inkling, from infancy to adolescence.

They gain the ability to transform between humanoid and squid form at the age of 14. Art from the Sunken Scrolls shows that prior to this, they resemble squids with four limbs, and as infants they appear fully squid-like.

Their octopus form is widely different to the Octarian ones , with two long tentacles in the middle that helps them move, two smaller ones in front resembling a mustache, and four smaller ones on the underside, along with a pair of eyes that are separated (as opposed to the Inkling’s connected eyes). Their suction cups are located on the underside of their tentacles, despite their humanoid form having suckers on the top side. The tips of their tentacles, as well as the head, have a ring pattern on them. They have a total of eight tentacles, like octopi in the real world. Between Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3 , Octolings underwent design changes similar to their squid counterparts, becoming taller, and having more rounded and less squat faces.

In Splatoon 2 , like the rest of the Octarians, Octosnipers have improved AI, allowing them to spot an Inkling by their ink being shot, a squid moving quickly in ink by their ripples, improving their targeting, and increasing the amount of time an Inkling needs to hide before they let their guard down.

Shiver is an Octoling with pale skin and a wide, oval-shaped face, with slender eyes and sharp blue triangle eyebrows. Her irises are red, with light red pupils in the shape of an infinity symbol, similar to Marina's pupils, (and matching octopuses in real life). Her Octoling eye mask is thin and sharp, almost appearing to be cat-eyeliner makeup, with red eye shadow blended underneath.
Her tentacles are shoulder length, with the left side styled over her face, hiding her left eye from view. Her tentacles have a slight gradient from a light blue to navy blue and are curled upwards slightly at the ends. In addition to the eye makeup, Shiver also appears to be wearing a light red lip gloss.
In her school days, her hair had her signature tentacle covering her right eye, albeit shorter, and the other tentacle at the back of her head was instead tied up in in a ponytail with what seems to be her hachimaki rope. She wore a black long-sleeved cropped sailor fuku with a deep purple ribbon on the collar, a long pleated black skirt that went down to her ankles, and were white loafers with a strap, resembling the Japanese gang-related fashion phenomenon known as sukeban.

Shiver is described as 'cold-blooded' (her title even being "The Cold-Blooded Bandit") and acts cold and nonchalant with a ruthless streak while on the Anarchy Splatcast. She's a perfectionist, sending Big Man back to the drawing board multiple times while he wrote Anarchy Rainbow, and she enjoys teasing her fellow newscasters, but despite this, she clearly cares about them.
Shiver's story mode appearances contrast with how she presents herself on the Anarchy Splatcast, as she sheds her calm and collected exterior while fighting Agent 3, showing that she has a more competitive, impatient, and crude side; trash-talking the player, sticking out her tongue, growing increasingly frustrated when she doesn’t win, and fumbling with her smoke bomb at the end of her boss encounter. Despite this, if the player beats her, she acknowledges them as her equal. She also has the tendency to occasionally express things in onomatopoeias, such as "FLOOMP" and "KA-GLOMP."
Despite her persona, Shiver can be surprisingly understanding, as she was willing to put aside her differences and work with the New Squidbeak Splatoon, even being the one to suggest that Marie become their boss and happily referring to her as such.

A good example being in the Hero Mode of Splatoon 2 . When a female Agent 4 rescues a Zapfish, she hugs it close with an overjoyed smile on her face, even when wearing additional armor .

She is entrapped in a machine of potentially Jelleton ink that is later shown to be Order . During the fight, it gains a red hue and beats in a similar fashion as a human heart. On all four sides of this tentacle mound are speakers with a design resembling Overlorder's eyes, covered by a diamond-shaped frame. In this form, Marina is much taller than she normally is, appearing several times taller than Eight, for example, possibly due to the cephalopod ability of RNA editing (or it could simply be Order manipulating her body within the Memverse simulation during its control over her, as she switches back to her normal size instantly after being defeated).


Splatoon

The Mighty Octostomp is a large cube, with four different layers to its face being the main base, another square which comes out slightly more, the main face area which sticks out more than the second layer, and the eyes and mouth which both stick out of the face. When on the ground face-first, the Octostomp’s face will flatten, but during combat it will have all four layers stick out; each more than the last.
It is mostly metal with a grey body. The Octostomp’s face is covered in purple ink , with its lips being a slightly darker purple and its eyes being green.
The Octostomp has two amusingly small legs with black socks, which are somehow able to make the massive body jump, although they aren't very useful for getting back onto its feet. Underneath it also has some hanging wires.
On the back of the Octostomp is a small circle filled with ink, where a tentacle can enrage. It can use this to steal Zapfish , but unfortunately also works as it's weak point which the inklings use to destroy it.
The Octostomp's sides and top are comprised of 9 different panels each, which the inkling can use to get onto its back once the Octostomp is stuck on its face. However, as the battle continues the amount of panels will decrease, leaving empty gaps with electric currents coming out of them.

The vents on top of it will also grow in size, extending upwards. During the third phase, the door with the warning symbol on it will open, and a large rod of ink sprayers will emerge. The loaves of bread will also gain some armored spots on them, each adorned with an Octarian bread company logo.
