Pearl Krabs is a fictional character in the Nickelodeon animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants. She is the daughter of Eugene H. Krabs and voiced by Lori Alan. Although she is a whale and her father is a crab, it is not given as a definite fact whether she was adopted, or if her mother is a whale.

[edit] Appearance
Pearl is a grey whale with orangy-yellow hair. She has always been shown with her hair in a ponytail. She commonly wears a pink shirt with a letter "P" which stands for Pearl, as well as a pink skirt. Other episodes feature her with a pink dress and a tiara on. She almost always has on redish-pink lipstick in the shape of a heart on her 'lips'. In one episode, it is shown that she does, in fact, have lips. She also has a blow-hole.
[edit] 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, most likely to the fact that in the early episodes, she wasn't quite a teenager yet.
[edit] Family
Pearl's immediate family includes her father, Eugene H. Krabs and her grandmother, Mama Krabs (though she hasn't been shown with her grandmother).
The difference between her and her father in terms of species has never been addressed; possible theories include that Mr. Krabs was once married to a whale or that Pearl was adopted, though these are mere speculation. In the episode "Whale of a Birthday", it could be proven that Pearl was not adopted, since Mr. Krabs had a banner for her since the day she was born (The banner said "It's a Boy", with boy crossed out and "girl" put in its place). Also, whales in the Krabs family exist in medieval times as seen with her ancestor, Princess Pearl.
Pearl normally is embarrassed by her father's lack of "coral." Mr. Krabs has been shown to go to extreme lengths to please her, such as when he had SpongeBob take her to her prom in "The Chaperone". At one point Mr. Krabs even hired her for the Krusty Krab and allowed her to completely renovate the restaurant, much to the chagrin of Squidward and eventually SpongeBob (after he discovered that Pearl had removed the grill from the kitchen). A significant portion of the humor in episodes featuring Pearl is derived from Mr. Krabs' inner struggle between his thrifty nature and his desire to keep his daughter happy. Pearl has the ability to cry very hard when embarrassed by her father, flooding or shaking things inadvertently. She is subject to temper tantrums when things go wrong for her. In "Selling Out", she tosses Mr. Krabs out of the house.
[edit] Life
Pearl has a dream of being a star. She did a "cheer" for the Krusty Krab at Squidward's talent show. Pearl is used as a back-up invisible boatmobile for the semi-retired underwater superheroes Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, in a movie SpongeBob and Patrick were creating, much to her disappointment.
Her favorite band is an all-boys band called "Boys Who Cry." She also enjoys shopping at the mall possibly talking about "who likes who." Throughout her life she has had horrible birthday parties, due to her father being cheap. It wasn't until her 16th birthday, in which she recived everything she wanted, including a boat, and "Boys Who Cry" sing a song at her birthday party. She also can play the tuba.
