Twintelle (Japanese: ツインテーラ, romanized: Tsuintēra) is a character in the 2017 video game Arms by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. Unlike other playable characters in Arms, who fight using their arms, Twintelle fights using her hair. She is depicted as a femme fatale and a celebrity. The design process for her was more complicated than the others in Arms, as producer Kosuke Yabuki wished to consult Nintendo's American and European branches in an effort to represent people of different backgrounds and national origins.
She was first revealed in May 2017 Nintendo Direct, where she quickly became a fan favorite and a popular Black character in video games. Twintelle has been the subject of generally positive reception as early as her reveal, resulting in her being the subject of fan art. Yabuki was positively surprised by her popularity, which led to the designers adding her to a free demo of Arms.
