Pearl

Pearl is one of the Crystal Gems in Steven Universe. She is one of the main female protagonists in the series.

Appearance
Pearl has a thin, bird-like body and pale white skin with a bluish tint. Her short hair is pastel orange and is styled to a point like pixie cut. She has large light blue eyes and a cone shaped nose. Pearl's Gemstone is a large pearl embedded in her forehead. Pearl wears a light blue tunic with a yellow star and large turquoise sash tied around her waist. She has pale orange short leggings, pink socks and turquoise shoes.

Prior to the end of Steven the Sword Fighter she wore a light blue top with a yellow star and short pale pink leggings under an iridescent blue and green skirt together with a cyan bow. Her shoes were light blue with lime green socks. After she regenerated she gained her current outfit.

Personality
Pearl is a perfectionist, so much that she goes through all the trouble to organize Amethyst's room. She puts a lot of thought and reason into her plans and actions. Though she is very graceful and controlled, she sometimes gets flustered when plans are messed up, or when Amethyst says something she doesn't think Steven should hear. She is very caring and motherly to the point of occasionally being overbearing, but always well-meaning. Out of all the Crystal Gems, she breaks down the easiest in emotional situations. She is shown to be one of the most naive of the gems, in terms of human culture, often questioning or misinterpreting certain human traditions or behaviors, such as jokes, games, arcades and birthday parties.

Abilities
All Gems have many powers including the ability to summon a weapon, shapeshift, and retreat into their gems after becoming injured to heal. Activating her Crystal Gem summons a magic spear. She is able to project holographic images from her Gem and has psychokinetic abilities. She can also fuse with Amethyst to create Opal.

Steven Universe
Pearl acts as a kind, motherly figure towards Steven, in some episodes treating him like her own son. She always speaks gently to him and is always the first show concern when taking him on a dangerous mission.

Garnet
Like the other Gems, Pearl respects and follows Garnet's orders without question. She does, however, believe that the Gems are a team and may not exactly see Garnet as a leader.

Amethyst
Pearl is often seen scolding Amethyst and in return, Amethyst teases her. Despite them fighting often it's revealed that Pearl sometimes think she is getting through to Amethyst ("Tiger Millionaire"). Regardless of their differences Pearl is still friends and teammates with Amethyst.
