Garlen Castello

Garlen is the mother of Whinter. She lives with her immediate family on impoverished outskirts of Spectrum City. She has four children ranging from toddler age to their mid twenties.

After an unspecified accident that resulted in the death of her husband and herself getting cracked, her twin sons, Martin and Jaycob, stepped up as providers and caregivers of the family, and continue to live with her due to financial strain. Martin and Jaycob both have day jobs, working to pay for food and rent in her stead. Her youngest son, Whinter, dropped out of school to take care of both her and his younger sister, Cloud, who was a newborn infant at the time of the accident.

The severity of her condition is unknown, but the crack to Garlen's right eye leaves her prone to forgetfulness, short-term memory loss, and bouts of exhaustion. She is unable to properly use nectar due to the injury and is thus pristine.

Design
Garlen has a middle left side part, most of her hair cascading down the right side of her head like a waterfall, swirling at both ends of her hair. She traditionally wears an oversized pastel orange sweater that hangs off her shoulders, with a black tank top underneath and blue colored pants.

Abilities
Garlen has all the base abilities of an air glass, but cannot use them due to her injuries. Her special power is not known and will likely never be revealed.

Trivia

 * Like her children, Garlen was first an inkling character from the Splatoon webcomic Cafe Cardamari Tales — but she was never shown in comic outside a single panel, and played no role throughout the series.
 * Garlen's name is a play on the word 'Garden' and her children are all named after things found in nature, such as whinberry, cloudberry, and blue jays. Martin is the odd one out, instead named after the blue martini drink.
 * Garlen enjoys arts and crafts
