Pearl Fey

Pearl is quiet around strangers and would run from any whom she encountered. Even if strangers greeted Pearl nicely, or even if Maya herself introduced them to her, it takes a long time to gain her trust. This was due to her overprotective, overbearing mother teaching her to do this whenever a suspicious-looking person tried to talk to her. Morgan would spank Pearl if she misbehaved and refused to allow her daughter to grow out her hair like her role model, Maya. Pearl's speech, and even her laugh, were refined in tone. Nonetheless, Pearl is usually cheerful, kind, and innocent around people she knows, and most people who encounter her describe her as cute. That said, she does have one intense stare. She has a similar fiery streak to Maya, but is always willing to help and is still very polite, kind, and courteous to a fault. Pearl has very little knowledge about the world outside her village, and is unfamiliar with terms that people in mainstream society take for granted (e.g. "...law...yer?"). Though she was a big fan of picture book author Elise Deauxnim, as well as watching Kids' Masterpiece Theatre every Sunday. She's very sensitive concerning love between a couple, due to having grown up around unhappy marriages, including that of her own parents. Owing to her considerable spiritual powers, Pearl is considered a spirit medium prodigy, although her abilities are still not as strong as those of Misty. Nonetheless, Pearl looks up to Maya a great deal and wishes to be like her someday. Pearl is very sensitive about certain topics, such as how she is not good at arts and crafts; this latter weakness can be clearly seen in her attempt to piece the Sacred Urn back together.
