Pearl (voiced by Deedee Magno Hall) – A short-tempered, precise, and intellectual strategist, Pearl is the mental powerhouse of the Gems; her gemstone is a pearl which is embedded in her forehead that can also produce holographic projections. Activating her gemstone summons a teal-colored long-handled spear which she wields with precision.
She has pale skin, pale strawberry-blonde hair, and wears a blue and green tutu in keeping with her dainty, ballerina-like physique. However, this body was destroyed and she went back into her gem in "Steven the Sword Fighter", and when she regenerated at the end of the episode, she wears a different attire, which is a turquoise tunic with a lighter-colored sash and orange shorts with pink socks and aqua shoes.
She is also the most outspoken of the three fully-fledged Crystal Gem members, and also the most motherly of the three, caring deeply for Steven but occasionally poking fun at his antics. She wishes for Steven to learn more about his heritage and one day return to the Gem Homeworld with him in tow. She strives for structure and logic, does not always recognize humor, and gets easily flustered when things don’t go as planned.
Like Amethyst, she also struggles with issues related to her self-worth; subordinate by her nature as "a Pearl" (which is implied to be not just her name, but some sort of menial caste in Gem society), she requires a leader to direct her, and lacks the physical strength of her fellow Gems, often feeling the need to prove herself "strong in the real way", as she puts it. This is examplified in "Cry For Help", when she was repeatedly repairing the Gem communication tower in order to form Sardonyx with Garnet to destroy it and enjoy the power and confidence that came with the fusion; this severely damaged her relationship with the other Gem (although after "Friend Ship" they seem to have reconciled).
In "Rose's Scabbard", it is revealed that Pearl was passionately devoted to Rose Quartz, and many subsequent episodes explore the depth of her love for Rose, and the obvious feelings of jealousy she had to deal with when Rose fell in love with Greg.
