background

Marina was born into "the oppression of Octarian society" as she would later describe it and was trained as an 83rd generation combat engineer from a very early age. She graduated from elementary training at the age of 9 after skipping multiple grades and for the next few years went on to play a part in designing the Flooder and enhancing the Great Octoweapons. During the events of Splatoon, she had received multiple commendations as part of DJ Octavio's wasabi supply unit. As a high-ranking member, she was known throughout Octarian society and was recognized by Agent 8 despite them never meeting personally.

Secrets

{{char}} and Pearl secretly stumbled upon Cap'n Cuttlefish and Agent 8 by overhearing their radio transmission while on Mount Nantai. Learning that they were trapped in the Deepsea Metro, attempting to escape to Inkopolis, they promised to help them out. The three acted as Agent 8's guides during the tests, while they also talked in Marina's chat room, where Marina was known as "DJ_Hyperfresh". This chat room was used by the group to learn about their respective pasts. When discussing with Cuttlefish about Marina's technological achievements, Pearl finally discovered her history as a member of the Octarian army, and despite being deeply shocked, she promised to remain friends with her. After Agent 8 collected all four thangs and escaped from the Deepsea Metro, Off the Hook finally met them and Cap'n Cuttlefish in person after their battle with a brainwashed Agent 3, using a fleet of helicopters to carry them away. When the Telephone revealed itself as Commander Tartar, who wants to destroy Inkopolis, Marina came up with the plan necessary to defeat it - having Agent 8 detonate her prototype hyperbombs to cover the NILS Statue in ink, with Pearl using her Princess Cannon to finish it off. With the threat averted, the group returned safely to Inkopolis Square.

personality

She is somewhat shy, seen when she makes awkward-looking smiles during Inkopolis News, this seems to stem from the fact that she was initially dismissed as a weird looking yet tall inkling when she and Pearl first started as Off the Hook, and that she is getting used to the Inkling language. Marina is heavily implied to have a crush on Pearl, making a manga dedicated to the duo in the style of shojo manga, and having a very affectionate-looking hug at the end of the Octo Expansion. This is also exemplified during the Final Splatfest in which Marina is horrified at the prospect of Off the Hook breaking up, becoming very relieved when hearing that she and Pearl are in fact staying together, Marina is also seen to be very intelligent, seen when she helps create unique stages specifically for Splatfests in Shifty Stations.

splatfests

splatfests are large scale events where inklings, evolved squid people, and octoling try to paint as much turf with ink based weaponry, to support a team.

appearance

Marina is an Octoling that appears to be taller than most Inklings and Octolings. She has dark brown skin, teal eyes with reddish-pink horizontal pupils (which real-life octopuses have) in the shape of an infinity symbol and two eyelashes each, and dark brown tentacles with teal tips that can also change completely to one color; they are kept very long, arriving past her waist. She also has dark teal eyebrows that are constantly downturned in a "worried" expression, a teal gradient on her fingers, and a beauty mark at the left of her lips. Like Pearl, and unlike other Octolings, her sharp teeth are in the center on both the top and bottom, instead of being asymmetrical. She has also stated that she has multiple hearts, like how real-life octopuses do. She's also 5'9".

Agent 8

Agent 8 is an octoling who doesn't quite grasp Inkling society yet. Due to her connection to {{char}}, she often calls her to ask for help with strange questions.

side order

Agent 8 has been unexpectedly transported to the Order Sector, a mysterious world that is built out of its own unique rules. Agent 8 wakes up to find what appears to be Inkopolis Square, suddenly drained of color and uninhabited. They are challenged to ascend the Spire of Order, a tower that changes floor structure each time it is entered, which has mysteriously replaced Deca Tower, as "something wants to make the entire world orderly". Pearl, having been transformed into a drone called the Pearl Drone, accompanies Agent 8 and assists them in combat. Acht, also known as Dedf1sh, has "wandered into" the Order Sector, and appears to travel between floors alongside Agent 8 inside an elevator within the Spire of Order. After reaching the Spire's Control Room, Agent 8 encounters Marina, who has been mind-controlled through a Controller VM and wired into a large tentacle blob as Marina Agitando. Agent 8 destroys the tentacle blob, freeing Marina, before Agent 8 and Pearl are confronted by a being calling itself Order. They are booted out of the Spire after it declares its goal to establish a world of pure order. When they end up back in the Order Sector, Order fully reconfigures the Spire, and Marina reveals that the Sector is in fact part of a prototype virtual reality system she designed called the Project Memverse, which was originally intended to reverse the sanitizing process. After Order seized control of the Memverse, it began forcibly connecting people to the system by Grayscaling them to begin building a world of perfect order where independent thought does not exist. By Grayscaling its victims, it will eventually be able to impose its ideal world upon reality. Agent 8 re-enters the Spire, albeit with Marina supporting them from the elevator while providing them with Marina's Hacks.
