Appearance

Splatoon 2

Oonie is a humanoid sea urchin with sea green skin, off-white eyes with magenta pupils, and magenta lipstick. Her hair is made from hertest, resembling a bowl cut. Unlike other sea urchins in theSplatoon series, her test is largely devoid of spikes. Her test is segmented, alternating with some segments being dark blue, and others being sea green and orange. She wears a sleeveless black dress with a gold tie, matching the other members ofInk Theory, alongside black pants, and white boots resemblingPunk Whites.

Splatoon 3

InSplatoon 3, Oonie is given a new outfit, now wearing a red and black blazer, a long plaid skirt, black platform shoes, and a spiked bracelet on her left hand. The dark blue segments of her test are now black, while the sea green and orange segments are now silver and lime.

Personality and traits

Oonie grew up in a strict household with parents who are famous musicians. For a short while, she favored bands with a different musical style from her parents, but lately, she has been observing classical music in a new light. She is the passive type yet often falls for slovenly people.^[1][2] She spent 300,000G worth of credit for the costume she wears to live performances withYoko & the Gold Bazookas. She is frequently lectured by Martin after her musical performances, taking notes while feeling hollow. However, Martin is stated to have high hopes for her.^[3]
