A Guide to the Dragon World

'Pearl' was a female SeaWing dragonet who was introduced in Darkstalker. She ascended to the throne and became queen of
the SeaWings at the age of five after the events of the Royal SeaWing
Massacre.

## Description

Pearl was glittered with coils of gemstones, long twisted ropes of
pearls and opals and sapphires circling her torso and ankles. Manta
described her as a picture of majestic splendor.

## Personality

Pearl was blunt, and often exasperated by Fathom and Indigo's immature
behavior, but seemed unfairly jealous when Fathom was announced an
animus dragon and began receiving special treatment. She sometimes used
an exceedingly bored voice, and often sighed about how loud and immature
Fathom and Indigo were. She studied herself in mirrors for a long while
before attending a party, implying she was concerned about her physical
appearance.

## Biography

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

left Moon Rising
She
was mentioned when Moon was reading a Literature|scroll titled
Scrolls#List of Known Scrolls|The Animus Histories, which explained
that Pearl was Fathom's sister, the granddaughter of Albatross, and one
of the few dragons who survived the massacre. It said that Pearl became
queen peacefully and ruled for many years.

### Legends

left Darkstalker

Pearl was the sister of Fathom and one of the dragonets chosen for
animus testing, which later became the Talons of Power ceremony. She
tried to shush Indigo multiple times as they waited, and was the one to
point out that it was Fathom's coconut that had hit Albatross in the
chest.

During the Royal SeaWing Massacre, she used the glass from the shattered
aquariums to cut herself, covering herself in blood to play dead. After
Albatross was killed, she emerged from her hiding place and claimed her
new role as queen of the SeaWings. Her first decree was to outlaw animus
magic throughout the Kingdom of the Sea|kingdom. Fathom made a blood
oath to her, promising never to use his magic again as long as he lived
and never have dragonets, which she told him meant he had to stay away
from Indigo, whom he was in love with. She then appointed Indigo to be
the head of her personal guard.

About a year later, Current, another survivor of the massacre, returned
from being held as a "guest" of the queen of the NightWings. He reported
that the NightWings had an animus, and that he was using his powers. To
avoid a similar tragedy from occurring in the Lost city of night|Night
Kingdom, Pearl sent Indigo, Wharf, and Lionfish along with Fathom as his
guards, to the Night Kingdom, in which they were assigned to train
Darkstalker and to warn him of the price of using his magic.

### Field Guides

A Guide to the Dragon World
Pearl was mentioned in Lagoon (L1)|Queen Lagoon's letter to Albatross about
testing for animus SeaWings.

She was the recipient of a letter from Queen Carmine in the SkyWing
chapter of the guide.

## Relationships

### Fathom

Fathom and Pearl did not always get along, and she was often exasperated
by him, but she never followed him around to be unreasonably mean
towards him. After he was summoned by Albatross for his first training
session, Fathom noted that she appeared to be mad at Fathom for being an
animus. Even after three years after the test, she acted jealous towards
Fathom whenever he went off to practice with Albatross, but most of the
time, she went back to normal, often exasperated by his and Indigo's
immaturity.

After the events of the massacre, Pearl's relationship with her brother
was strained, as she feared that Fathom would go insane very much like
Albatross, and did not trust him. However, her love towards her brother
was still there as she accepted his oath and spared him from death.

### Indigo

Despite being exasperated by her, Pearl considered Indigo as her friend,
and stated that she wanted Indigo to live a happy life. Pearl believed
that Indigo would be honest with her, but planned for Indigo to stay
away from Fathom despite her and the prince's wishes. Pearl made Indigo
part of her royal guard to keep her away from Fathom so they could never
have dragonets or possible animus dragons together.

### Manta

Fathom mentioned that there was a weird vibe between his sister and
their mother. Before the massacre, Indigo stated this was because the
only way for Pearl to become queen was for Manta to challenge Lagoon and
win, then for Pearl to challenge Manta and win.

## Quotes

You two are HOPELESS. Have you never seen a dragon wear pearls
before? They can't hang this way or they'll make it impossible to swim,
and besides, everyone knows a double wind around the neck is most
flattering. You have to tighten the slack here and drape it like this…

You can thank me by distracting Great-Uncle Humpback if he
tries to corner me again with stories about the grand old days. 'You
know, when I was a young whippersnapper, we had scavenger sashimi every
afternoon. But where have they all gone, can you tell me that, eh? They
can't have gotten smarter! Someone's been interfering with my scavenger
supply! Some toothy little blowfishes, I'll show them.

Besides, it's not fair to her. She's my friend, too, and I want
her to have a happy life. Don't you? Think about it. What could she ever
have with you? No dragonets, no future, nothing but constant danger. Do
you want that for her? […] I'll make her part of my honor guard,
promote her up the ranks quickly. In a few years, I'll find a minor
noble she can have a family with. She'll have a safe, normal life.
