"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.'"
— Pearl to Indigo
Not to be confused with Pearl, the current SeaWing council member in charge of the treasury.

Template:Infobox Character Queen Pearl was a female SeaWing, and Fathom's sister. She was the only known queen to rise to the throne peacefully in SeaWing history. However, in The Lost Heir, Anemone told Tsunami that she did not remember anyone peacefully rising to the throne, at least in their kingdom. Her first move as queen then was to ban the use of animus magic in the Kingdom of the Sea, because her grandfather, Albatross, went insane from overusing it. Her brother Fathom broke this oath when he had to put Darkstalker in an eternal sleep. She was only mentioned in Moon Rising when Moon researched about dreamvisitors in one of the scrolls at Jade Mountain Academy's Library. Earlier in the book, she was described to "glitter with coils of gemstones, long twisted ropes of pearls and opals and sapphires circling her torso and ankles[1]

Biography

Pearl is the sister of Fathom, and one of the dragonets chosen for animus testing. She tried to shush Indigo multiple times as they waited, and was the one to point out that it was Fathom's coconut that hit Albatross.

During The Royal SeaWing Massacre, she used the glass in the aquariums to cut herself, covering her in blood. This caused an insane Albatross to walk right past her, believing she was already dead. After Albatross was killed, she emerged from her hiding space and claimed her role as queen of the SeaWings. He first act was to ban animus magic, and she made her brother sign an oath never to use his magic again and to stay away from Indigo, for she knew that she was the only dragon who he'd use his magic for. She appointed Indigo to be her head guard.

Around a year later, her cousin, Current, returned from being held in the Night Kingdom. He told her that the NightWings had an animus, and that he was overusing his powers. To avoid a similar tragedy happening in their kingdom, she sent Fathom; along with Indigo, Wharf, and Lionfish; to the Night Kingdom, and assigned Fathom to train their animus and warn him of the price of using magic.
