Pearl (Finding Nemo)

Pearl is a young flapjack octopus in Disney•Pixar's 2003 animated film Finding Nemo and its 2016 sequel. She says she has one shorter tentacle than the rest, though this is barely noticeable.
==Background==
Pearl is pink like her father Ted, but unlike him, her face is positioned in the middle. She also claims to be able to walk on land. Whenever she gets nervous or scared, she squirts her ink, or "inks" as she calls it. This trait was presumably inherited from her father, who has a similar release of ink when he encounters Bruce and his fellow sharks.
==Appearances==
===Finding Nemo===
One of Mr. Ray's students, Nemo meets Pearl and her friends, Tad and Sheldon, while waiting to start school. When first meeting Nemo she noticed Nemo's little fin and asked what was wrong with it and Marlin explains it's Nemo's lucky fin, she shows off her small tentacle. She and the rest of the class went on a field trip to the drop off and while wandering off with Sheldon and Tad (with Nemo behind them) and after looking out to the open sea saw the boat. Like the other children, she tries to see how close to it she can swim. When Marlin accuses Nemo of swimming past the drop off, she and the other kids try to defend Nemo. When the divers appear, she screams out of fear, causing Nemo to turn around and she flees with the rest of the class, being protected by Mr. Ray as they escape from the divers.
She briefly appears at the end of the film, welcoming Nemo and newcomer Squirt into the class as she, Nemo, and the other students prepare for a new adventure for exploring.
===Finding Dory===
Pearl returns in the sequel, albeit only making two appearances throughout the film. She first appears in the scene where Mr. Ray is telling his class about the stingray migration and during the spot where the stingray migration occurs in which Mr. Ray warns the class to stay away from the undertow to avoid getting caught in the current and later looking at Dory who was knocked unconsciously by the large group of stingrays. Pearl last appears at the end of the film, where she, Tad, Sheldon, and the rest of the students discover that Mr. Ray joined the stingray migration in which Hank, Bailey, and Destiny substitute for Mr. Ray's class.
==Disney Parks==
Pearl is seen in The Seas with Nemo & Friends at Epcot in Walt Disney World as part of the group who is searching for Nemo and worry about him. She also appears on the coral reef sculpture outside of the Pavilion.
She also appears in Finding Nemo: The Musical at the Animal Kingdom playing the same role as in the movie.

*Flapjack Octopi live at great depths in the ocean not in coral reefs
