Marina is one of the two idols in Off the Hook, the duo that hosts Inkopolis News in Splatoon 2, alongside Pearl, and she returns in Splatoon 3. Known for her calm, kind personality and voice, her emotional reactions became popular with fans who clipped them for edits, memes and soundboards. This happy vocal is shared online as a Splatoon sound effect rather than as dialogue, which is why it works even for viewers who do not play the games. Its lasting appeal comes from that readable joy, a sound that needs no explanation to feel warm and celebratory.
