Bonjam! I'm Jay (She/him) a casual gamer/artist that draws fanart of mostly Nintendo games, with a few exceptions. One common trait of my work is I often insert my six main Splatoon OCs into other franchises such as Zelda or Pokémon. I hope you enjoy :D

Bonjam! So I've been playing Smash Bros. Ultimate again recently, so I decided to draw my secondary, Jigglypuff! (Along with my usual slew of headcanons) This might not be a huge surprise, but encase you're wondering my main is the OG pink puffball, Kirby

Many scenes of Smash Bros. Jigglypuff are scattered across the page, the first one depicts it with a placid expression whilst holding one hand out, accompanied by the text 'A seasoned veteran from Smash Bros. who has appeared in every game to date. Being the joke character of the original 12, she constantly had to fight for her place amongst the others, and as such became cautious and reserved to counteract her otherwise quick temper. Beneath her insecurities however is a very noble and compassionate puffball'
The next scene has Jigglypuff using Sing, its Up Special as appears in Smash Ultimate. It also has a description: 'Jigglypuff is well-known for using the move Sing, but unlike that infamous Jigglypuff from the anime, this one knows the difference between normal singing and using Sing'
There're then a couple scenes of Puff in alternate costumes, one showing it pose in its first costume (with the red flower) and the other using Rest in its fourth costume (with the green nightcap)
The next scene shows Jigglypuff closer to how it looked back in Smash 64, slightly inflated and looking annoyed at Kirby, who also is using an older design. Some text reads 'Originally resented Kirby for how- unlike her- he never had to justify his place on the roster, and just how completely unbothered he was about the whole thing... being a semi-clone of him back in Smash 64 certainly didn't help, either...' the final scene shows Kirby and Jigglypuff with their modern appearance, the former with the Jigglypuff copy ability, both using Rollout and looking quite happy. '...However, after getting to know him just a bit better, she couldn't possibly keep hating him after how nice he is to... well, everyone. As such, their (completely one-sided) pink puffball rivalry quickly evaporated, and now they're good friends.'

Bonjam! So, I've always been a big fan of Shadow Kirby, and feel like he should appear more frequently like the Dream Friends, so I drew some art of him (And a certain someone else from Kirby's Epic Yarn) along with a handful of headcanons

Many scenes of Shadow Kirby are spread across the page. The first one has him with a Nintendo Switch Lite playing the Animal Crossing theme with some text reading: 'Shadow Kirby is very laid-back, but sometimes to the point of negligence, so despite having equal power to "Pink Kirby" (as he calls him) and more intelligence, he's not as good as a protector. Despite this, Shadow's not evil and actually quite sweet... if a bit of a prankster' Nearby is a scene of Shadow with the Mike Copy Ability, creating music notes in the air 'Loves singing as much as Kirby, but unlike his pink counterpart, he's actually pretty good at it... not that he sings when anyone else can hear.' Below that Shadow is lounging on a sofa with his phone whilst everything burns around him, captioned: 'This is fine.'
Some text reads: 'Both of Shadow Kirby's designs are canonically the same being, but since they are used interchangeably I think that he's in his dark grey form for more casual scenarios, but turns black and purple for serious combat and such. In other words, depending on the form Shadow takes before a fight, he's either:' Then there's art of grey Shadow with one arm raised in a combat pose with the text: 'Honestly just messin' with ya' and vortex Shadow in the same pose, but saying 'About to kick your pathetic posterior into Another Dimension.' Some more art shows off Shadow's Fighters form as he practices with the Whip Copy ability.
Finally there's a scene of Prince Fluff posing boastfully as Shadow watches, unimpressed, with his hands behind his head, captioned 'While not the brightest puffball, Prince Fluff is ultimately well-meaning, despite the pride he has from his luxurious upbringing.' There's also some smaller art below that's captioned 'Speaking of pride... (They're gay)' With Shadow and Fluff holding hands with a small grey-blue heart above them.

Bonjam! I've got something a bit more unusual for me to present today, art of Nico Di Angelo (and a couple others) from the Percy Jackson book series! It's very rare for me to draw something not from a Video Game, but I do love that series, especially around Trials of Apollo (when this art is set)

NinJay @ninjay86.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Bonjam! Also inspired by my current Master Mode playthrough, I decided to draw my OCs in various armour found in Breath of the Wild! I do just love drawing them in different outfits, but I tried to make the stats and buffs of the armour match their personalities too!

Six Splatoon 3 characters are stood each in different combinations of the armour found in Breath of the Wild. A few notes beforehand- armour with a specified colour has been dyed as such, and the number is the defence value after two upgrades (If possible for that piece) SquidJ (With blue eyes and pale skin) has a Light Blue Snowquil Headress (8) for cold resistance, Pink Climbing Gear (8) for increased climbing speed and Navy Stealth tights (6) for Stealth Up, with 22 defence total. Eight (Also with blue eyes and pale skin) has Topaz Earrings (8) for Shock Resistance, a yellow Hylian Tunic (8) and black Climbing Boots (8) for increased climbing speed, with 24 defence total. Limu (With beige eyes and brown skin) Has a green Barbarian Helm (8) for Attack Up, green Snowquil Tunic (8) for Cold Resistance and green Ancient Greaves (12) for Gaurdian Resistance, with a total of 28 defence. Laptev (With brown eyes and tanned skin) has an orange Cap of the Wild (12) orange Desert Voe Spaulder (8) for Heat Resistance and brown Trousers of the Wild (12) giving him a hefty 32 defence. Aster (With magenta eyes and dark brown skin) has a Diamond Circlet (12) for Gaurdian Resistance, purple Rubber Armour (8) for Shock Resistance and purple Zora Greaves (8) for Swim Speed, giving 28 defence in total. Finally, Azure (With green eyes and brown skin) has a Sapphire Circlet (8) for Heat Resistance, a blue Gerudo Top (1) and blue Barbarian Leg Wraps (8) for Attack Up, with just 17 defence total

Bonjam! Today I'd like to present art I made a while ago for Kirby's Dream Buffet! That game is actually set in the Dream Restaurant, so I thought it would be cool for a couple of OCs who work there outside of just the game's main event, the Gourmet Festival: Cocoa the server and Mentha the chef!

There's 4 pieces of art of 2 Kirby OCs, Cocoa (She/her) who is chocolate brown with darker brown feet, cheeks and eyes, and Mentha (They/Them) who is mint green with the same dark brown features as Cocoa. In the main art, Cocoa is using the Tornado Copy Ability, whilst Mentha has Cook.
Another piece of art has them walking next to each other. Above Cocoa text says: 'Wholesome 'wouldn't-hurt-a-fly' -type Kirby that enjoys serving up all the different foods that Mentha makes to all the different people that order them.' Above Mentha it reads 'More emotionally attached to a pair of tongs than most people, but loves Cocoa even more than cooking (probably) and would definitely kill someone with a frying pan for her.'
Below that is a scene depicting two small, disembodied white gloves carrying a tray of sundaes whilst Cocoa's wearing the Wheel Copy Ability hat and carrying a tray of donuts. Mentha is pointing to them and saying 'Master Hand & Crazy Hand? No, these are the Server Hands, the weird cousins they don't like to talk about. As you can see they're a lot smaller and organise the Gourmet Grand Prix, though in between events they help serve dishes like Cocoa'
The fourth scene is captioned 'Side Character Solidarity!' 'I like to think that Shadow Kirby and Prince Fluff often visit Mentha and Cocoa at the Dream Restaurant when Kirby's off doing Nova-knows-what somewhere else. Not that Kirby doesn't visit them too, he's just friends with everyone and can't be everywhere. Shadow is even playable in Dream Buffet... eventually.' Below that text Cocoa and Mentha are greeting Shadow and Fluff, Shadow tilting his head reluctantly as Fluff watches with curiosity. Finally there's a small note at the bottom: 'I hope more Kirby games in the future bring back spray paint or a similar system, as there's so many cool Kirby colours that you barely ever see compared to the standard Pink-Yellow-Blue-Green... Like the purple Kirby in Air Riders or either of Shadow's pallettes'

Bonjam! It's been a while since I shared art of my OCs, so here's some I made a while back of Limu and Laptev! There's also a short bonus comic, which I I have separated for easier reading.

Various Limu and Laptev-based art is scattered across the page, including them stood next to each other, Laptev (With brown eyes and tanned skin) waving whilst Limu (With beige eyes and brown skin) adjusts her sunglasses, their other hand on their hip. Next to them is some text, reading 'Fun fact: Limu's actually long-sighted, so they struggle to focus on anything too close. This isn't usually a problem as they specialise in long-range weapons, but the sunglasses often perched upon her head were prescribed, should she need them. It was Laptev who convinced her to wear them at all, though he only succeeded because 'sunglasses are cool''
Below the caption 'Limu and Laptev, according to the former' (Highlighted in Limu green) there's dark silhouettes of them both stood together, arms crossed and ink scattered dramatically. To contrast this, below: 'Limu and Laptev, according to the latter' (Highlighted in Laptev orange) are Animal Crossing-esque chibi depictions of them both, smiling and holding hands.
There are also two pieces of art of them in swim form: One has Limu swirling green ink below whilst Laptev leaves a trail of pink ink overhead, coming in upside-down to create a spiral shape with their arrow-shaped bodies. The other shows Laptev asleep, tentacles flailing and accidentally slapping Limu in the head, who's resting upright and squinting at her flailing friend, sunglasses safely inside their case.
Finally there's a colourless comic, though I've separated its alt text into the second image

A close up of the comic from the other image, below the text 'Just to be clear, Limu and Laptev's relationship is completely platonic. That being said...'
Limu's tapping one foot impatiently. 'Where's that lump of sea ice got to?' she asks herself.
An inkling with long hair down one side and cuttlefish-shaped ears (and a lot of piercings in them) comes over 'Hey, um, would you be able to help me?' '...What is it?' Limu asks reluctantly
'Well you see, I've just moved here and I'm looking for the... 'Tableturf battle dojo'' They continue 'Would you be able to point me in the right direction?' 'Sure' Limu replies, pointing over their shoulder. 'It's just down that alley, on the other side of Grizzco.'
The cuttlefish-inkling smiles 'Merci beacoup!' she says (French for 'Thanks so much!') 'And by the way, I love your outfit, it's so fresh!'
Limu watches them walk away as Laptev finally shows up 'Sorry I'm late!' He pants 'Are you ready to go Salmon Ru-'
Limu grabs his shoulders, sweating green ink, and exclaims 'LAPTEV A REALLY CUTE WOOMY JUST CALLED ME FRESH'

Bonjam! As promised, here's what I drew when Vaporeon was added to UNITE, including the others' reaction to the addition! Hopefully it's not too long until Jolteon and Flareon get in, because personally I'd love to be able to play as all 8 of them.

The page is split into 3 sections, one of Vaporeon, one Vaporeon as an Eevee, and the 3rd of the others' first impressions of him. Vaporeon is Jolly, learns Hydro Pump & Muddy Water* at level 4, Aqua Ring & Flip Turn* at level 6 & the UNITE move Aquamarine Splash at level 8. A description reads 'Although he's flamboyant and prideful, similar to Glaceon, Vaporeon's actually the most level-headed Eeveelution and the first to take charge in a tough situation, Though if the stakes are low he'll msss around a bit; most Eeveelutions have been victim to one of his suprise jets of water.'
As an Eevee, he's in a similar pose to his evolved form, with a Vaporeon-style accessory around his left ear. Vapor-Eevee can learn Swift or Tackle at level 1 and 2. 'Like the other Eeveelutions, Vaporeon's an Eevee until he evolves at level 4, relying on Swift and, unlike other Eevees, Vaporeon can learn tackle, as each Eevee has a different second move.
In the first impressions, Espeon is looking at a phone rather than Vaporeon, who is stood right in front of them and looking a bit miffed. 'Espeon kind of forgets he's a real Pokémon? It's been a long time since the last new Eeveelution, though they keep a close eye on his battle skills.' Umbreon is watching from a distance alongside the text 'Reluctant, but Umbreon is just generally shy: He's not hostile.' Another scene shows Sylveon nuzzling Vaporeon, ribbon-like feelers wrapped around his leg. 'They're both Pokémon Pokémon, and Sylveon especially loves new friends. These two became instant besties.' A final scene shows Vaporeon and Leafeon walking side-by-side. 'Surprisingly, Leafeon gets on really well with Vaporeon. The perfect balance of chill vibes and shenanigans' Glaceon watches them both, eyes narrowed and huffing. 'Polite in a cold, unfriendly way. It seems she's envious for several reasons'

NinJay @ninjay86.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Bonjam! So, who plays Pokémon UNITE? Here's some art I made for the UNITE Eeveelutions a while back, along with personalities and headcanons I associate with them. Those of you keeping up with UNITE's roster might've noticed Vaporeon's missing... I've got some art I'll post for them soon :)

The page is split into 3 sections, one of Sylveon, one Glaceon, and the 3rd of Leafeon, all in poses reminiscent of their in-game art. Sylveon is Naive, learns Hyper Voice* & Mystical Fire at level 4, Calm Mind* & Draining Kiss at level 6 & the UNITE move Fairy Frolic at level 8. A description reads 'Friendly, upbeat and innocent, Sylveon wouldn't hurt a Cutiefly, and generally plays very peacefully in matches. On the other hand, if you knock out one of her buddies, well.. I hope you brought a helmet, as you're about to get launched into the stratosphere'
Glaceon is Sassy, learns Icicle Spear* & Icy Wind at level 4, Ice Shard & Freeze-Dry at level 6, & the UNITE move Glacial Stage at level 8. 'Glaceon is a bit of a show-off, and loves nothing more than parading around in all the different holowear and effect sprays. Although you'll find her gossiping with almost all the other Pokémon, the Eeveelutions are her only real friends.'
Leafeon is Impish, learns Razor Leaf* & Solar Blade at level 4, Aerial Ace and Leaf Blade* at level 6 & the UNITE move Emerald Two-Step at level 8. ' Leafeon is Glaceon's bestie, and together the two are known to cause a bit of chaos. This impish Eeveelution is also very athletic, and- as you might've guessed from their UNITE move -loves dancing, with moves as elegant as they are deadly in battle.'
*Moves with an asterisk are their favourite moves

The page is split into 3 sections, one of Umbreon, one Espeon, and the 3rd of all 5 Eevee evolutions but before they evolve. Umbreon and Espeon are in poses reminiscent of their in-game art, with the Eevees copying the poses of their future forms. Umbreon is Timid, learns Mean Look* & Foul Play at level 4, Wish* & Snarl at level 6 & the UNITE move Moonlight Prance at level 8. A description reads 'Although relatively cheerful around his friends, Umbreon immediately melts into the shadows whenever another Pokémon approaches, and occasionally even hisses at anyone be doesn't like. He's got quite the soft spot for Sylveon, but even when he musters enough courage to say anything, she's too oblivious to notice.'
Espeon is Quirky, learns Psyshock* & Stored Power at level 4, Psybeam & Future Sight* at level 6 & the UNITE move Psychic Solare at level 8. A description reads 'Espeon is easily the most competitive of the Eeveelutions, and the resident strategist. They spend hours analysing tournaments and ranked matches, memorising every choice that lead to one team winning and the other losing. Needless to say, the others find their vast knowledge invaluable'
All the Eevees learn Swift, with Sylveon learning Baby-Doll Eyes, Glaceon Tail Whip, Leafeon Quick Attack, Umbreon Fake Tears, and Espeon Growl. 'At the start of a match, before they reach level 4, the Eeveelutions get reverted back to just Eevees. At level 1 and 2, they get to pick between Swift and another move. In-game, the HUD displays a little symbol to tell what they're going to evolve into, but since we lack that luxury, I gave them accessories based on those symbols.'
*Moves with an asterisk are their favourite moves

Both previous images put together, with Sylveon, Glaceon and Leafeon on top, and Umbreon, Espeon and the Eevees on the bottom. Unfortunately you'll have to check for more details in the separate images as the alt text character limit is too strict to merge them.

Bonjam! I'm currently playing through Master Mode of BotW for the first time and felt like drawing my two favourite Champions! (Though I love them all) Shout out to Mipha for saving me from many more Game Over screens... Also Kirby is here because he's just a good friend :)

The Champions Mipha and Revali from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are stood next to each other, holding the Lightscale Trident and Great Eagle Bow, their signature weapons. Above them their names float in the BotW font, alongside the brief description of 'Zora Princess' and 'Rito Pride' respectively. Off in the right there's a scene of what it might be like for them both to meet Kirby. Mipha is saying 'You're... You're so cute! Who are you, pink one?' whilst petting his head. Revali, on the other hand, is pointing at Kirby from the foreground with a rather annoyed expression 'What in Hylia's name is THAT?'

Bonjam! Well it was only a matter of time... May I present an assortment of very random thoughts I had a while back about my favourite game franchise... Kirby! Although I love my Splatoon OCs, the Kirby series just has so many great games... And a lot of pretty absurd lore.

Various art of Kirby characters are spread across the page. At the bottom left, Kirby is running and smiling alongside Shadow Kirby, who has a much more serious expression. To their right, Meta Knight is posing with his wings outstretched. Above him, Bandana Waddle Dee is looking up with admiration at King Dedede, who is preparing a Hammer Flip. Finally, to their left, Marx is grinning and hopping on his jester ball, next to a depiction of him in his True form, wings spread and with an alarming expression. Some text is next to each image, next to the Kirbies it reads: 'These two are literally Carefree (Kirby) vs Careless (Shadow) And I adore them both <3'. Next to Meta it says 'If he had a phone, he would absolutely have a 300+ photo gallery of cool-looking medieval weapons and you cannot convince me otherwise' 'I appreciate a character who's both extremely cool and quite clearly a nerd'. Next to Dedede 'I'm kinda disappointed that we didn't get to see the King Dededestroy the beast pack to protect Kirby and the Waddle Dees in the ending sequence of Forgotten Land. Nobody messes with his li'l guys!'. And finally by Marx 'Given how he shakes his head after that one idle animation featured at the end of his Star Allies Dream Friend trailer and how, unlike Susie, his Guest Star description doesn't have any negative connotations, I don't think Marx is responsible for his 'hangry demon' tendencies' 'Does make me feel bad for the guy. One minute a (mostly) harmless jester, next a power-hungry abomination'.

Bonjam! Bit of a random one today, but here's some art I did for one of the very few non-Nintendo games I play... Bloons TD 6! I made this around when the hero Silas was released, as he's one of my favourite heroes (alongside Etienne and Psi) plus a bunch of other favs towers of mine! (I have many)

Seven monkeys from BTD6 are depicted, including Rubber To Gold (x-x-4 Alchemist) Glaive Lord (5-x-x Boomerang) and Aircraft Carrier (4-x-x Buccaneer) The rest of the towers have some text near them, for the hero Silas there's some lore from Ninja Kiwi's official blog, reading: 'You might expect Silas to have a rivalry with Gwendolyn, given the whole 'Ice and fire' thing, but they actually have a lot of respect for eachother's vibes!', 'Silas is a plain vanilla ice cream kinda monkey, because it goe great with so many different toppings!' and 'Knows how to make a grilled cheese (It's mandatory hero training)'
Additionally all three tier 3 Mermonkeys are shown, as long with some headcanons I have for what one of each of them might be like. 'Top path Mermonkey absolutely adores her li'l Abyss Dweller and- beneath the racket of battle- can be heard whispering praise to it whilst popping Bloons.' 'Middle path Mermonkey is the most serious of the 3, and takes the role of even the T3 upgrade very earnestly. Occasionally gets frustrated with the other two for being 'distracted'.' 'Bottom path Mermonkey is a passionate singer who was delighted to learn that they could use their talents to help stem the relentless flow of Bloons... Though truthfully, they also just love the attention'

Bonjam! Here I present a bunch more Outfits for my OCs, as well as some of the things they might get up to in them! I originally designed these for a Mario Kart World crossover, though gonna be honest I don't think they're gonna be in any DLC that game might be getting XD

Six Splatoon 3 characters are stood each with two different outfits. SquidJ (With blue eyes and pale skin) has a Sailor outfit consisting of a loose light blue crop top and shorts, hat and socks, pink shoes, trimming and ink, as well white stripes. Her second is a Mechanic outfit with a light grey jacket and cap with dark grey brim and trousers, several pockets, and brown shoes and fingerless gloves. Eight (Also with blue eyes and pale skin) has a Pro Racer outfit with her tentacles tied up in a ponytail out the back of her helmet, a mainly blue and white suit under a grey top that mimics her name in Round Script. She also has a special Enchanted set, featuring the three pieces of gear provided by the Eight Amiibo, complete with pink ink and tights. Limu (With beige eyes and brown skin) Has an Aristocrat outfit, with dark green jacket, top hat and trousers, white gloves and shiny brown shoes. They also have a special Outlaw outfit, with a green cloak, hood and top, all with gold trimmings, and a small pouch to store coins. Laptev (With brown eyes and tanned skin) has an Oasis outfit with a mostly bare chest covered partially with a large orange cloak and brown puffy shorts and sandals. He also has an Explorer outfit that looks a lot like those worn by other MKT World racers, in his light brown & orange colour scheme. Aster (With magenta eyes and dark brown skin) has a Vacation outfit with a pale purple cardigan and more saturated light purple skirt and a wide-brimmed hat with coconut crab accessories. They also have a Soft Server outfit with a purple and white striped T-shirt under a blue apron and on their head there's an ice cream hat. Finally, Azure (With green eyes and brown skin) has a Vacation outfit like Aster's, with the main difference being blue colouring, Jellyfish accessories and her cardigan's undone, revealing a dark blue crop top. She also has a special Merling outfit with far longer hair, blue top, tights and antenna-like protrusions on her head

The top scene depicts the OCs on a boat- presumably SquidJ's as she's in her sailor outfit. She's perched on the side with an ice cream, leaning away from Azure nervously, who is flicking her Merling tail out the water. Limu is also by the edge of the boat, wearing her Aristocrat costume with her hands resting on a cane, watching Laptev in his Oasis alt receive an Ice cream from Soft Sever Aster. They have a tray for carrying ice cream, but there's only three left as Eight in her Enchanted robes already has hers.
The bottom scene is split into three smaller ones, each depicting two OCs in their other outfits. Mechanic SquidJ and Pro Racer Eight are together, the former presenting blueprints for kart designs to the latter, who is watching with her helmet off. Next to the blueprints on the table is a squid phone, several pens and a lamp. Outlaw Limu and Explorer Laptev are together, both climbing a rope that extends offscreen as a steep brown cliff towers over them. Limu is climbing up confidently, though Laptev, higher up, looks a bit more unsteady. Aster and Azure are holding hands underneath a bright sun whilst in their matching Vacation outfits, probably on some kind of holiday, as Azure looks very excited

Bonjam! I've got some art already made that I'd like to share, so today please enjoy my OCs in cozy/pajama-esque outfits. If you haven't met my OCs yet I've pinned my first post for easier access in the future.

Six Splatoon 3 characters are stood spread apart from each other in cozy outfits. SquidJ (With blue eyes and pale skin) is wearing a ribbed top that's loose over one shoulder, blue-and-white striped trousers and grey cat slippers. Eight (Also with blue eyes and pale skin) has a matching red shirt and trousers, with pockets and white stripes on the ends of the sleeves and legs. Limu (With beige eyes and brown skin) Has a short dark green dressing gown tied around the waist and long trousers of a similar colour, as well as a green-blue top and socks. Laptev (With brown eyes and tanned skin) sports an orange Oodie with a lighter orange squid pattern, pink trousers and bare feet. Aster (With magenta eyes and dark brown skin) has an untied light purple dressing gown, white top and socks, striped dark purple trousers and light purple slippers. Finally, Azure (With green eyes and brown skin) is wearing a long-sleeved indigo dress with wave-like stripes and a skirt that goes down to just above the knees as well as fluffy socks of the same colour.

Bonjam! This is my first post so I'd like to introduce you to my six Splatoon OCs! They should be appearing a lot here in the future, so this should help you to get the general overview of them! Though of course they have a lot of other little quirks that will have to be revealed more gradually...!

Two Splatoon 3 characters, one on either side of the page, are stood next to a screenshot of what they look like in game. They have the same blue eyes and pale skin, though SquidJ on the left is shorter and has pastel pink ink and a blue-grey colour scheme compared to OctJ who is wearing the same top but in a bright yellow-to-red gradient, with ink to match. There's text in the image reading: "SquidJ (She/him) A shy but strategic inkling and my Squidsona. She came to Splatsvile a few years ago and- after meeting Eight- founded the Seaweed Splatoon, a team of turflings who participate in Turf Wars together, and protect the city if they need to. Before that she was also in the Squibeak Splatoon as Neo Agent 3, exploring Alterna and meeting Deep Cut." And "OctJ "Eight" (She/her) Agent 8 of the Squidbeak Splatoon and my Octosona. However, unlike SquidJ she has more original- and canonical- traits, including preferring to go by 'Eight' as it took her a long time to remember her real name. After the events of Side Order she decided to stay in Splatsvile for a while, and quickly met SquidJ after a Jelly mistook them for the same person due to their similar appearances. They now share a flat in the city, though Eight's often out visiting Alterna and Inkopolis"

Two Splatoon 3 characters, one on either side of the page, are stood next to a screenshot of what they look like in game. Limu on the left has beige eyes and brown skin, wearing a green hoodie, ripped jeans and sunglasses resting on their forehead. Laptev on the right is shorter, has brown eyes and tanned skin, wearing a red T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up, shorts and a large orange sunhat. There's text in the image reading: "Limu (She/them) A calm but confident inkling that moved to the Splatlands when she was very young, though only came to Splatsvile proper a couple of years ago to pursue her dream of becoming a competitive E-litre player. They joined (and actually suggested the name for) the Seaweed Splatoon for extra practice, though they're also an Eggsecutive VP in Salmon Run Next Wave, as she can't tolerate the things." And "Laptev (He/him) A cheery and sociable inkling, and Limu's best friend. He met them basically as soon as they moved to the Splatlands and have been friends ever since. Laptev thrives in the heat and loves wearing light, summer-y clothes, even in the middle of winter. In battle he's a lot less skilled than his bestie, and instead prefers to turf the field and generally make it harder for the opponents and easier for his teammates to nab the win."
