Frye is the new Marina: Exploring Frye and Minority Anxiety (An essay by @Terminatorbuns)

I’m gonna preface this with something very important: Frye is best girl. Fight me, I write lore essays. I wrote that other essay on Deep Cut and I’ve continued to obsess over them since, especially on Frye, who’s been an extremely interesting character for me to analyze.

We know Frye, she’s the chipper Inkling idol partner to the more sophisticated Octoling Shiver. There’s obvious parallels to be made with the previous idol group, Off the Hook, since Frye is like the energetic Pearl and Shiver is like the cool Marina. And uhh .. that’s probably all there is to it, essay’s over, everyone go home.

No but seriously, what I want to share instead today is the personal, alternative interpretation I arrived at after obsessively overthinking the situation since release. It’s not fully supported by canon, but this is a reading of Frye constructed from the most subtle lore details a Frye-obsessed lore nerd could find, and I hope to at least highlight some lore elements the community might have missed. I want to demonstrate the layers upon layers of complexity that can be read into Frye as a character, and why I care so fucking much.

Frye isn’t the new Pearl, she was the new MARINA this whole time and it took me months to see it. Yes, it has absolutely everything to do with their skin color. Splatoon’s world is designed with real life racial diversity in mind and, intentionally or not, are also influenced by real life racial dynamics in turn. Like Marina, the analysis of Frye absolutely OPENS UP if we examine her through the lens of her real life racial status, we start to infer stuff about her motivations, her fears, her secret needs and wants, EVERYTHING is on the table. Good news for Shiver fans, I can’t talk about Frye without digging into her relationship with Shiver (platonic or otherwise) so that’s going to happen too. We need to talk about our precious brown baby.
