Her very first ever appearance, Robo Woomer Nouveau, literally just a poorly designed robot version of an Inkling, named after the famous battle cry (Woomy!) and affiliated with the in-game weapon brand 'Nouveau'. That post is gonna be 10 years old next January what the fuck- As you can see my art style really hasn't changed thaaaaat much lmao

The intention was to give her different chassis based on different weapon brands, the first two being Woomer Deco which houses a pair of Killer Wails in her hair and Woomer D(olphin), a chassis that could traverse water (which was pretty novel at the time given that Inklings can't swim and explode when they try to).

This eveeeentually changed into her more recent Drive Change System when I kinda left Splatoon behind and did my own thing, with those two becoming IDOL DRIVE and DIVE DRIVE respectively.

And as a fun lil addition, her sister Veema started life as her Octarian built counterpart named for THEIR adorable battle cry after Splatoon 2 dropped (Veemo!)
