Half-braid
Similar to the original Inkling girl style, but paired with a punk-styled braid. Some change, but not too much to freak out players.

Messy bob
This Inkling hasn’t got time to style. 4v4’s are her morning routine.

Quiff
An old style of hair for the experienced gamer. A West-side Story style that shows a dangerous side to each Octoling that has it. Players with this cut have a quiff diff.
