Personality and traits[]

Harmony has been described as a relaxed sea anemone that goes her own way. She appears to be easily distracted, as she can be seen fidgeting with a device resembling an Ultra Hand when the player enters Hotlantis. Official promotional material for Splatoon 3 describes her as an artist, and it is mentioned she used to frequent Hotlantis. Due to the manager's frequent absence, she runs the store instead, selling its merchandise to its customers. She also hands out rewards for players who level up in the catalog.

She additionally serves as the lead singer, synthesizer player, and frontwoman for Chirpy Chips. According to HaikaraWalker, she is in charge of the visuals of the band. She exhibits peculiar movements when singing and speaks in a loose manner between songs, which is popular with fans. Due to her voice being altered in the music, she usually lip syncs during live performances. She often lacks motivation and shows up late to band practice. Additionally, she neglects to care for the clownfish that lives in her hair, and it is dying as a result.
