Pearls

Pearls are servants on Homeworld, acting as custom-made Gems with the purpose of serving their owner. All Pearls shown so far, with the exception of Pink Pearl under White Diamond's influence, have been voiced by Deedee Magno-Hall.

Role

 * Main Article: Caste System:

Pearls are described by Peridot as "someone's shiny toy", and also mentions that there are hundreds of them on Homeworld. They are expected only to serve and be submissive and obedient, simply waiting on their owners and not acting independently in any way. Yellow Pearl even claims that her feelings "are irrelevant". Pearls typically perform tasks such as holding their owners' belongings and serving as footpeople opening doors for their masters; they are expected to consistently exhibit subservience by remaining silent unless spoken to and remaining a few paces behind their superior when walking with them. There are exceptions to these rules depending on who the Pearl belongs to, such as those of the Diamonds. Yellow Pearl is able to get away with talking down to Gems higher in the caste system whenever she feels they would disturb Yellow Diamond, and clearly relishes the opportunity to do so. Pink Pearl used to be seen (and feared) as an extension of White Diamond's will, making even the other Diamonds tread lightly in her presence.

Pearls also provide simple luxuries such like singing, dancing and visual entertainment by projecting holograms. They are also status symbols on Homeworld reserved for higher castes such as the Diamonds and aristocrats like Sapphires, as Peridot comments that the idea of a Peridot owning a Pearl is ridiculous. Pearls may also be earned by committing a significant act of heroism. Physically, all Pearls appear to have a slender form and beak-like nose. They can also be "customized" by owners in color and appearance. Pearls are normally dismissed with the phrase "that will be all" generally followed by the owner clapping her hands twice when they are no longer needed.
