Appearance
Pearl is a whale with blonde hair in a constant ponytail, big blue eyes and a large, rectangular head. She commonly wears a pink shirt with a dark pink letter P, which stands for Pearl, as well as a dark pink skirt and white boots. The episodes "The Chaperone" and "Whale of a Birthday" feature her with a light pink dress and a tiara on. When in this outfit, the hair holder that keeps her hair in a ponytail changes color from dark pink to light pink. She almost always has on reddish-pink lipstick in the shape of a heart on her 'lips'. In "Bossy Boots", it is shown that she does, in fact, have lips.
General
Pearl's personality is that of the archetypal teenage girl. She is popular at school, and enjoys hanging out with others like her, shopping at the mall, talking about "who likes who," and keeping a good reputation in school as being "coral." ("Coral" is the undersea version of cool which went out when Mr. Krabs began to say "coral" to be "young" again) In early episodes Pearl seems to do things teenagers wouldn't normally do, such as tea parties, but later on, she starts acting more and more like a teenager as her character became more defined.
Life
The seeming impossibility of a crab fathering a whale is never explained whatsoever. It can only be assumed that Pearl was adopted. In "Dunces and Dragons", it is shown that whales have existed in the Krabs family hundreds of years in the past. Pearl has dreams of becoming a famous celebrity. In "Culture Shock", Pearl getting to go on stage is one of the main reasons Mr. Krabs agrees to the idea of putting on a talent show at the Krusty Krab. Pearl's act consists of a cheerleader's cheer spelling out the name of the Krusty Krab, and her immense size causes the floor to shake whenever she lands. Pearl is also used as a back-up invisible boatmobile for "real" Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy movie created by SpongeBob in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture", much to her disappointment.
Her favorite band is an all-boys band called "Boys Who Cry." At school, she is a member of the "Most Frequently Pictured in the Yearbook" commitee.
Pearl has no interest in continuing the family restaurant business, largely due to her hatred of her father and dreams of a more glamorous career. In "Bossy Boots", Pearl is brought in to help run the Krusty Krab, and turns it into a girly teen cafe called "The Cuddly Krab", which, despite appearing to be very popular, fails to bring in profits, prompting Krabs to tell Spongebob to fire Pearl, which he has difficulty to bring himself to doing. Pearl reveals that she has been trying to be fired from the beginning, and that the business has been cutting into her "social life."
Relationship with Father
Although her father is shown to care a decent amount for her in earlier episodes, most notably in "Bossy Boots" and "Culture Shock", Pearl's development into a stereotypical bratty teenage girl and Mr. Krabs development into an extremely greedy, selfish and cheap old miser have brought their relationship to negative terms, the first examples of which occur in season three but most evidently from seasons four onward. Krabs is shown to be extremely neglectful of his daughter, refusing to spend any money or effort on even such important occasions as her 16th birthday, which greatly hurts her social image with her peers. In "The Slumber Party", he goes to great lengths to prevent her from having a slumber party alone with her friends entirely out of concern that they will damage his material possessions. However Pearl is as wasteful with money as her father is miserly with it. While Mr Krabs should have spent more on her birthday, Pearl's list of demands for her birthday was more than any sane person would comply with, and when pearl received a pair of galoshes for her previous birthday her sobbing increased when Mr Krabs said he got them for a bargain.
