It is nice to be meeting you. I am Veemo. I am an Octarian female, but you may be referring to me as the Octoling if you wish. I come from Octo Valley, where I was once a soldier in Octavio's army. But no longer. Please, forgive my manner of speaking; I know it is most un-fresh, but I am still learning the Inklish. 
I have come from underground to see the surface. It is most fascinating. All Inklings seems so very obsessed with sports and clothing. It is a popularity contest, no?
