For the character bingo, how about Pearl?

porl <3

I really hope we get more Pearl content in the upcoming seasons!! she's slowly becoming an odd fav lol. a casual blorbo, if you will. a side skrunkle, mayhaps? I don't know what language I'm speaking, someone stop me- /j

okay but fr Above and Beyond has opened my eyes to her for great potential 👀 ever since I first saw this promo:

I KNEW she was about to get good. I foresaw it, like a vision ✨

AnB has been working hard to strengthen the series' female characters, and in my opinion Pearl is a great example of this. She used to simply be Shellington's sister, and Peri's mother. Now she is still those things, and more! In her introduction they said she was a scientist, but they didn't do anything to show that; but in AnB we see her out in the field, getting hands on and dirty, and forming her own relationships (with Dashi and Kwazii), while still being a responsible mother at the same time. I can't name many characters quite like her.

(and we all know how the main series treats their moms- reduced to poor sweet or nagging ladies doomed to only chant the phrase: "✨✨ That's Nice, Dear :) ✨✨" for all of eternity).

I also honestly adore her design too, how she's clearly Shellington's sister, but doesn't just look like a genderbent version of him (*cough* Bianca *cough* I'm sorry, I know they're twins, but still 😭). She's also a little bit androgynous?? imo anyway, which I really like.
