Callie (アオリ, Aori) and Marie (ホタル, Hotaru) are supporting characters in the Splatoon franchise. Together, they make up the Squid Sisters (シオカラーズ, Sea o' Colors) pop duo.

The Squid Sisters appear collectively as an Assist Trophy character in Ultimate. When they are summoned, they appear in the middle of the stage (teleporting if not there already), and perform a live concert. As they are performing, the camera zooms in on them, and the blast lines get smaller and smaller, making it easier for players to be KO'd. Once the song finishes, the duo disappears, and the camera returns to normal.
Origin
In the original Splatoon, Callie and Marie are a pair of pop idols who host Inkopolis News, where they announce what stages are available for online multiplayer as well as giving information on updates and Splatfests. During Splatfests, Callie and Marie can be seen in Inkopolis Plaza performing atop trucks, much like their Assist Trophy function, although each Squid Sister has their own truck rather than performing on the same stage. These concerts can also be viewed through use of amiibo.
In Splatoon 2, Callie and Marie's role from the first game is taken by Pearl and Marina of Off the Hook. Marie now hosts the story mode in Octo Canyon, while Callie, kidnapped and brainwashed by DJ Octavio, serves as part of the final boss. However, partway through the boss fight, Marie is able to free Callie from DJ Octavio's mind control. For the final phase of the fight, they perform together on a stage similar to the one seen in Super Smash Bros.. As of the 3.0 update of Splatoon 2, players are able to speak with Callie and Marie in Octo Canyon after completing the final battle, learning statistics about their performance in online multiplayer as well as various tidbits about the characters themselves.
