Pearl

**Pearl** is an Inkling girl who formed the group, Off the Hook, with Marina.

## Appearance

Pearl resembles a "pop princess" stereotype. She appears smaller in height than most Inklings. Her tentacles are shoulder-length and are creamy-white with pink tips and a small bang. She has light golden eyes with pale yellow pupils in the shape of a cross and a beauty mark at the bottom left of her lips. Like Marina, and unlike other Inklings, she has one sharp tooth in the middle at the top and bottom of her teeth instead of the usual two. Her ears, which are slightly smaller than those of the average Inkling, are usually covered by her hair. Her outfit consists of a pearly white sleeveless dress with a high collar, a slanted diamond-like pattern at the bottom left, and a large golden zipper on the front with a cross-shaped hole zipped all the way, white shorts, pink tights, white, slightly platformed boots with big golden zippers that have cross-shaped holes zipped up, and black soles at the bottom, black fingerless gloves, and a white crown with pink tips on her head that resembles a squid ring tooth. During Splatfests, the pink in her design changed to match the color of her chosen team, except for her crown.

In the *Octo Expansion*, she wears a more hip-hop attire than her pop stage outfit. She wears a golden, jeweled crown on her head, a long, golden chain necklace with a cross pendant (like her zippers on her stage outfit) around her neck, multiple golden rings on her fingers on both of her hands, a pastel pink, baggy hoodie with cream sleeves, and rainbow metallic platform shoes. This outfit is noted as being reminiscent of the rapper The Notorious B.I.G.. The gear items given out by the Pearl amiibo are replicas of Pearl's *Octo Expansion* outfit, namely the Pearlescent Crown, Pearlescent Hoodie, and Pearlescent Kicks.

While brainwashed, she wears a radically different outfit - a small black crop top exposing her midriff with a blue octopus, revealing a pink bat-shaped temporary tattoo near her navel. Her earrings have been replaced by bronze butterfly-shaped earrings and her hat is a blue hat with a red feather. Her shorts appear to be made of green leather and are low cut enough to reveal a glimpse of blue fabric, possibly her undergarments, and her tights are yellow with a teal tinge and sequins, giving them a galactic look. Additionally, she wears a pair of green shades revealed to be swirly glasses.

Pearl dons traditional Japanese-style clothing. Her outfit consists of a blue and teal kimono with turquoise square patterns around the waist and carries a light blue parasol with the KOG brand logo on it. She wears traditional Japanese sandals, or 'geta', and a different, blue, bird-shaped headpiece. The kimono bears the Inkline family emblem, although the connection is unknown.

## Personality

Pearl speaks rather bluntly and uses various slang, in line with her characterization as a rapper (despite her "pop princess" appearance). Compared to her partner, Marina, Pearl is a lot more expressive and quick to jump onto a topic with a bit of a short temper, and has a knack for composing new songs as they come to her. Oftentimes her comments can be playfully sarcastic, playing off her co-host. Her lively attitude is most obvious if you view her through the window, as she looks at the player quizzically before striking a pose.
