Akoya Pearl

**Akoya Pearl** is a Crystal Gem who formerly served under White Diamond prior to seeking refuge on Earth

## Appearance

Her height and physical frame are identical to a typical Pearl; she is altogether very lean, with long legs and arms, and has a tall oval-shaped head with a prominent and pointed nose. She has white skin and a messy silvery bob haircut. Her outfit consists of a white turtleneck sweater with a star cut out on her chest with a long pink skirt and silver heels. Her gemstone, an iridescent Akoya Pearl, is located on her stomach.

## Personality

Akoya Pearl is a bit of a neat freak and will do whatever she can to make sure things are absolutely spotless. When something is out of order she will start to become a little restless until it is fixed. She can be very opinionated and isn't afraid to speak her mind, the only exception being the Diamonds and her master. She doesn't particularly like being around other gems, and prefers to just be with her owner. She often gives advice to her in order to ensure she will not be discarded.

Once she joined the Crystal Gems she became more confident and is not afraid to speak her mind regardless of status and whilst she prefers to still be by herself has grown to accept the company of others.

## History

Akoya Pearl has served White Diamond for thousands of years, although she isn't a servant, she is at the mercy of whatever requests high standing Gems have for their Pearl. She had been in this position for quite some time before she was assigned to act as the head manager of the Gems on Homeworld, her task was to manage the supply of Gems that lived on the ship and to report back to White Diamond if necessary. She has worked hard for a long time to maintain a good relationship with her charges, and to see them happy, healthy, and thriving.

Akoya Pearl did not want to leave Homeworld, but her duties as a manager for her charges called for her to leave. She was the oldest Pearl on Homeworld, and she was worried about how she would manage at her age. However, she did not care what she would have to do in order to stay. She just had to stay, and not leave without informing White Diamond of her intentions. She knew that her kind were almost extinct, and with all of White Diamond's plans coming to fruition, Akoya Pearl would rather die than leave the ship with the Pearls she cares about

Akoya Pearl luckily got to stay on Homeworld, and has helped the others learn about how to keep themselves safe. She gives advice, and has assisted with training other younger Pearls to keep their kind safe. She has been the leader of the younger Pearls and was known by them as Mom Pearl. The young Pearls respected her, and had high hopes of following in her footsteps. However, her job as manager on the ship is a high position, which demands perfection and efficiency. The others, especially the younger ones, cannot be relied upon as they are weak and have yet to gain control of their emotions. It is best to be cautious when choosing Pearls for important tasks as they are easily manipulated and lack their own judgment. Akoya Pearl has watched her charges grow into adults, and become the adults they have become. She wishes she could be a part of their lives, and to be there for them as they become the adults they were always meant to be.
