* YouAreNumberSix: While Three and Four have identities outside of their codenames, Eight exclusively goes by her number because she ''can't remember'' her real name. [[spoiler: Even when it's directly told to her, her brain is so messed up that she can't perceive it.]]

* ButtMonkey: Three, enough that her being made fun of is supposedly the natural state of the world, and compounded by the fact that she considers herself to be BornUnlucky. She's able to get her own back, of course, with Pearl, Marina, and Four being her normal targets for jokes.

* MirrorCharacter: Three and Eight are both agents for the New Squidbeak Splatoon who prefer to go by their agent number. Both are also TheAce and TheDreaded, and are by far the most militaristic agents. They're ''extremely'' similar, with the big different being that Eight is a GenkiGirl and Three is a grump.

** Octolings haven't existed for eighty years! That's a Granny Burns fact right there! The lie is only highlighted by how Granny Burns draws attention to her lack of Inkling mask and the presence of Octoling rings around her eyes.


Added DiffLines:

* ConspiracyTheorist: Three has this reputation due to accusing Granny Burns of being an Octarian repeatedly.


Added DiffLines:

* LandDownUnder: Three's from Nemonia, the Splatoon world version of Australia.
* MoodWhiplash: A confrontation between Three and Marina leaves an awkward silence between the two of them, Eight, and Pearl... up until Zoe appears and tackles Three out of her seat, with the appearance of Three's [=IWTA=] crew immediately lightning the mood.

Added DiffLines:

* BlatantLies: Eight claims to not know what flirting is when Marie calls out her and Three's innuendo-ridden conversation. Callie calls her out on this by dropping the fact that Eight had ''sixty-seven counts of fraternization'' on her record.


Added DiffLines:

* TheCasanova: Eight before Kamabo, if her sixty-seven counts of fraternization are anything to go by.


Added DiffLines:

* TheGadfly: Just about everybody aside from Captain Cuttlefish. Three ends up the usual target of this, enough so that Eight says that Pearl and Marina making fun of Three's tacky taste in furniture was a sign that the universe had returned to its normal state.


Added DiffLines:

* MundaneUtility: Eight derives a ''lot'' of joy from seeing how Marina used Kettle technology - the most important and restricted technology of the entire Octarian army - to expand her car's trunk space.


Added DiffLines:

* ObliviousToLove: Eight's only question about Three repeatedly blushing around her is to wonder if she has a health condition.


Added DiffLines:

* PocketDimension: Inkshifting, an Octarian technique, which allows them to store objects inside of their ink, based on how their clothes disappear when in squid form.


Added DiffLines:

* SickeninglySweethearts: Three tends to take this opinion about just about every couple around her. Marina and Pearl know this, and tend to push that button as much as possible.
* SuperSoldier: Eight, having been grown in a vat, is this. She's extremely tall and extremely buff, is certified to use the entire basic series of weapons, and has a set of extremely sharp claws. She mostly utilizes her strength to [[MundaneUtility carry the Rainmaker in one hand whenever she gets it in Ranked]].


Added DiffLines:

* TranquilFury: Eight, whenever she turns her scary mode on.

** As good as Three and Eight are, Granny Burns didn't live to 120 without being just as dangerous, and with experience to back her up. It's outright stated by Three that fighting her is like fighting Eight, but better.



* BigEater: Eight and Three, though Marina was supposedly this when she first got out of the Underground. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that Eight and Three's massive appetites are caused by the Kamabo goo giving them a HealingFactor.]]



* CaperCrew: A non-villainous example in the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Captain Cuttlefish is the mastermind, Callie is the infiltrator, Marie is the information gatherer, Three, Four, and Eight as the muscle, Marina as the hacker, and Pearl as TheTeamBenefactor.
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: Eight has a tendency to vastly underestimate how strong she is compared to how durable Inklings are, with Three being her most common victim.



* EveryoneCanSeeIt: The only people oblivious to Three and Eights' mutual crushes are the two of them.



* NotSoDifferent: Three and Eight are both agents for the New Squidbeak Splatoon who prefer to go by their agent number. Both are also TheAce and TheDreaded, and are by far the most militaristic agents. They're ''extremely'' similar, with the big different being that Eight is a GenkiGirl and Three is a grump.

to:

* HiddenDepths: Her rough exterior and ace fighting skills definitely distract you from Three's skill as a cook.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The new member of the [=GrizzCo=] team, Lance, acts like this, accusing everyone of cheating when he loses. He gets kicked off the team in short order, until he gets an attitude adjustment.
* NotSoDifferent: Three and Eight are both agents for the New Squidbeak Splatoon who prefer to go by their agent number. Both are also TheAce and TheDreaded, and are by far the most militaristic agents. They're ''extremely'' similar, with the big different being that Eight is a GenkiGirl and Three is a grump.grump.
* OldSoldier: Granny Burns, who lived through the Great War.
* ShipTease: There's ''so much'' between Three and Eight.
* TheTeamBenefactor: Pearl. So much so that, when their location is compromised by Granny Burns, she gives them an ''entire spare house'' that she was using for ''storage'', because it was gifted to her by an aunt she didn't particularly like.
* WeaponOfChoice: Everyone has their favored type of weapon.
** Three: Rollers
** Eight: Shooters
** Marina: Brellas
** Pearl: Dualies
** Callie: Chargers
** Zoe: Bow
** Mable: Inksprayer

''Into The Light'' is a series of ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' fanfiction stories written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Gale_Breeze/pseuds/Gale_Breeze Gale_Breeze]], chronicling the events that follow Splatoon 2's Story Mode as well as the Octo Expansion. Each installment is done from one character's point of view.

The installments are ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/15213986 Inkopolis In The Morning]]'' (Agent Three's point of view), ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/15712581 The Surface Is Weird And Confusing And Generally A Place Of Little Logic]]'' (Agent Eight's point of view), ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20634470 Night In At The Idol's Apartment]]'' (Agent Three's point of view), and ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31791784 Pale Summer Moonlight]]'' (Agent Four's point of view).

----
!! ''Into The Light'' contains examples of the following tropes:

* TheAce: Three and Eight. They're the two best fighters of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, and Eight is estimated to be on about the same level as Three.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Eight certainly thinks Three's real name, Trina Morgue, is cool. The same can't be said for Four's which is ''Fyra Kale''.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Three's team from the [=IWTA=] bemoans that Three's replacing them with Eight, Pearl, and Marina, with the same roles of the Short Sexy One (Mable), Tall Brainy One (Zoe), and Mysterious and Buff One (Granny Burns).
* BloodKnight: It's generally a requirement to join the New Squidbeak Splatoon, though Three is the biggest example of this.
* TheDreaded: Three, to the point where Octolings have generally considered fighting her to be suicide. Most Inklings don't fear having a weapon to their face, since they can just respawn, but Three's able to instill actual terror by doing the same thing.
** Eight's able to turn on the fear factor as well, [[HorrifyingTheHorror with it even working on Three]].
* FreudianTrio: The Squid Sisters plus Three, with Callie as the impulsive and energetic Id, Three as the grumpy and tired Superego, and Marie as the sensible and calm Ego.
* HealingFactor: [[spoiler: After some cluing-in by Judd, Three and Eight realize that their exposure to Kamabo's sanitization goo gave them extremely rapid regeneration, at the cost of forcing them to [[BigEater eat their weight in food each day]].]]
* NotSoDifferent: Three and Eight are both agents for the New Squidbeak Splatoon who prefer to go by their agent number. Both are also TheAce and TheDreaded, and are by far the most militaristic agents. They're ''extremely'' similar, with the big different being that Eight is a GenkiGirl and Three is a grump.
