The whole time I've watched this show, Pearl has looked weirdly familiar to me and I haven't been able to place why. Then I realized she reminds me of Tezuka Osamu's Phœnix. They share their head shape, eye color, round white forehead gem, and, uh … Pearl's hair flippy things are the same shape as the Phœnix's black coloration. I guess Pearl doesn't have a beak, but her nose looks like the Phœnix's beak. Pearl always seemed kind of birdlike in her shape and movements to me; maybe this is why.
