Pearl Krabs

Pearl Krabs

Pearl Krabs (possibly born May 12, 1990) is a fictional character in SpongeBob SquarePants. She is the daughter of Eugene Krabs and Mrs. Krabs. She is 16(possibly 20 now, seeings how in Whale of a Birthday she turned 16 and the episode premiered in 2006) and voiced by Lori Alan. Although she is a sperm whale and her father is a crab, it is not clear whether she was adopted, or if her mother is a whale, although the trivia book implies that she had a mother who was a whale. Pearl loves the band "Boys Who Cry", acts like a a typical teenage girl, and has a dream to become a Cheerleader, but is denied because of her weight.

Appearance

Pearl is a sperm 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 as a dark pink skirt and white boots. The episodes "The Chaperone" and "Toaster 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.

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, and cry when things don't go her way, but later on, she starts acting more and more like a teenager as her character became more defined.

Life

In the Spongebob Trivia Book, Mr. Krabs says, "This is me daughter Pearl. She's a whale, you see. Takes after her mother that way." , which implys that Mr. Krabs married a whale and that Pearl's mother is a whale. 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. She attends Bikini Bottom High School. Her favorite band is an all-boys band called "Boys Who Cry" (a parody of B2K and Nsync). 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 Kuddly 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."

Relationships

Pearl has had relationships in the past. She reveals she had a boyfriend named Octavious Rex, but he dumped her. Since then, It has not been stated that she has had any other relationships with boys.

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 boots for her previous birthday her sobbing increased when Mr Krabs said he got them for a bargain.

Spongebob

When Pearl first met Spongebob, she began to like him. He helped Pearl come up with new ideas for remodeling the Krusty Krab. Spongebob also agreed with Pearl about Squidward being "a stick in the sand". Pearl's friendship with Spongebob grew even more when he helped to "fake" fire her. But in the episode "The Chaperone", when Mr Krabs suggested Spongebob as a date to the prom, she screamed at that choice, but was forced to make it. During the prom, Spongebob wrecked the party and made Pearl cry, realizing that he failed, Spongebob began to cry too. Then Pearl made it up to Spongebob by dancing with him, during which, she looked like she was having fun, but was thrown out afterwards. When they got back to her house, she told Spongebob that she knew it would be a total disaster, then kissed him. Later, in "The Slumber Party", Pearl showed strong dislike of Spongebob, since he was sent to spy on them by her dad. When Spongebob asked for one good reason why he shouldn't be in the party, Pearl told him that he was just like her dad, "A no-good-dried-up-old-fuddy-duddy".

Squidward

In the episode "The Chaperone" Squidward and Pearl have a few remarks between each other. Pearl refers to Squidward as "Uncle Squidy" which could mean that Squidward is close with the Krabs family giving Pearl a familiarity with Squidward. Right after though Pearl refers to Tentacles as a "stick in the sand", which could ultimately mean Though Squidward and the Krabs may be very friendly with each other, Pearl still recogniizes Squidward is grouchy.

Friends from Bikini Bottom High

When Pearl's freinds first appeared in "The Chaperone", they seemed to not want to taunt her about Spongebob being her date but, in "Whale of a Birthday", they made fun of her about her dad throwing her cheap parties.
