Talk:Pearl/@comment-29742364-20180226131716

Here's a minor theory:

When Pearl originally joined the rebellion, she didn't know how to summon her weapon - if she knew she had a weapon at all - seeing as she's a Pearl, so she learned how to swordfight, amassing much of her sword collection then. She also (if I recall correctly) has only been shown in rebellion flashbacks using swords. She would've had to learn to use her spear at some point during the rebellion though, 'cause Bismuth recognized it.

I don't know; I'm not that attached to this.
