He had known the Squidbeak Splatoon for a very long time, so he felt he had to do something. Meanwhile, everyone else began learning of Callie’s disappearance, including Derek Johnson. Ever since, she helped the Octarians greatly by making songs with DJ Octavio and giving them advice. Octavio was flabbergasted at her sudden change of loyalty, but he agreed. Instead of splatting the Octoling in front of her, Callie begged Octavio to let her into the world of the Octarians, and in exchange, she would help them conquer Inkopolis. After this realization, she finally had a change of heart. And if they took over Inkopolis together, it would be the perfect place for the Squid Sisters to start anew. Then, she realized something: she and the Octarians have something in common. Not only did this remind her of the way the inklings, including The Squidbeak Splatoon, had treated the Octarians for so long, it also reminded her of how she had been treated in the past few days. Just as she was about to splat one of the octolings, she hesitated. A fight ensued between Callie and the octopi. She slinked into the pothole to Octo Valley, just in time to catch a group of Octolings breaking Octavio out of his snow globe. She was going to escape the stress of fame once and for all. But she wasn’t going to Calamari County, nor was she going back to the studio. Once she got back to the apartment, she packed up her things. When her manager arrived, Callie finally gave up and ran out of the door in a fit of tears. She punched and yelled at the director, simultaneously venting her feelings. After hearing her director’s comment, however, she couldn’t hold it back any longer. She had been hiding her anger with her bright and cheery personality. Finally, when she went to go film an episode, Callie overheard her director saying something that would insult both of the Squid Sisters. Then, whenever she tried to convince the manager to give her time off in order for her to meet up with Marie, she’d give her a monologue about how important her new Drama show should be to Callie. The Director, an inkling, blamed her for damaging some equipment, no matter how many times Callie told him it was one of the crew members. But what she did next was a bit worse than that.Īt first, Callie promised herself she wouldn’t betray her race. Callie had lied to Marie, saying that she was going to an “important appointment” and would meet her there tomorrow. The next day, Marie left for her trip to Calamari County. She wanted to run away from the pressures of fame with Marie, and have a fresh start somewhere else.
One day, she did get some time with Marie, though she felt like it wasn’t enough. Not even watching footage of Agent 3 saving Inkopolis could help her take her mind off of it, for it only reinforced the cruelty she witnessed. This haunted her for the rest of the week. She saw the living heck the Octarians lived in, and the way her own race had treated them. However, while she was there, she decided to explore Octo Valley, because she had always been curious about what life was really like down in the depths of the valley.
So, she turned to her grandfather for help, only to find that he was on a "research trip" with Agent 3. She began suspecting that the manager was keeping them apart on purpose, but she knew she shouldn’t be feeling that way. She desperately begged her manager and other producers to have at least one movie/show with her, but they couldn’t seem to fit time into her schedule.
Because of this, she began missing Marie and the “old days” as well. In the 2 years that passed, Callie had been spending less time with Marie because of their boost in social status after the final splatfest. However, it was inevitably debunked by the fact that Callie was be added to Octo Canyon in version 3.0 of Splatoon 2. This was based on a theory I had after discovering that Callie didn’t join Marie after the final boss fight. Here’s a proper Wiki entry for my main headcannon.
