**Officer Pearl** known as **PC Pearl** or **Pearl** is a reoccurring character in American British 2018/2020 cartoon series 101 Dalmatian Street.

## Her Admirable Ranking

### Debated Validations

* While harshly punishing the Dalmatians and nicking Diesel for a crime he even didn’t commit. (Apart from digging through the Camden Park and technically breaking ban law.) She did apologize and give some Dog Kibble for Diesel.
* It makes sense through Pearl’s perspective specifically on why she blames Dolly for the mess she caused during the parade. Yet, she becomes somewhat forceful when asking to fix the mess. However, this is somewhat justified since the parade was part of an important event for Fluffy Prince Waffles.
* Her fraternization with Captain Apollo happens on a couple episodes making the gag noticeable. Yet this behavior seems to be boiled down some form of normalization as Apollo seems somewhat interested back and how this becomes a continuous running-gag ultimately meant to be played for laughs.

### What makes her at least admirable enough?

* She honors Captain Apollo.
* She helped Delilah save her family from being taken away.
* It was at least understandable why she enforced a ban. While it was harsh, it seemed like it could have been from the Dalmatians until the reveal.
* Despite harshly punishing Diesel Dalmatian, she had some right to believe he would be the #1 suspect like with him digging at the park and disobeying the ban.
* She briefly tired to work with Dylan to see if Hugo was okay.
* Checked to see if Clarissa and Hugo were okay after the Security Alarm.
* She did try to allow Dolly to be a Cadet.
* Similar to Dylan, she was incredibly surprised when Dolly accused Dorthy for stealing and told her to unpaw Dorthy.
* In spite of not being as admirable as the Officials in Camden. She has slightly less resources than them such as being a Police Horse.

### What makes her admirability insufficient?

* She fails the admirable baseline with other characters within the show like Summer, Chips, Spikes, alongside Fergus, Sid, and Big Fee who have fewer resources than her with none of them having a Police Officer rank.
* She is highly irresponsible with her blaming the Dalmatians and being quite harsh on some episodes. And while she apologizes to Diesel by giving him Breakfast. She arrest Diesel who she quickly suspected as the culprit. And she was eager to arrest the whole family. (Not counting Cuddles since Cuddles was the culprit.)
* She only chose to cooperate with Dylan and Diesel out of the sole idea suggested by Dylan of getting a promotion which shows she’s only willing to help Dylan if she gets something beneficial out of herself making her highly pragmatic and egomaniacal.
* Her methods are undeniably questionably harsh and some of it has led to Cuddles and Hunter de Vil being able to track down Dalmatians making her somewhat indirectly responsible for the Dalmatians being kidnapped on the first season's season finale.
* She has continuously fraternized Captain Apollo; a Police Horse with a higher rank. And while some can argue it is a minor prevention. It should be noted that the other characters notices this and Pearl even blames Dolly on any instance where it seems Pearl could easily lose her job and no longer be with Apollo.

## Trivia

* She alongside Pongo and Perdita from Stephen Herek, Dylan, Dolly, Dawkins, Doug, Delilah, Fergus, Sid, Big Fee, and the Canal Crew are the only Insufficiently Admirable Heroes as of now.
