Relationships

Steven Universe

"	All that matters is that Steven is happy	„
	~ Pearl in "Gem Glow"

Pearl acts as a kind but overprotective mother towards Steven. She loves educational activity Steven about Gem history and culture, likewise as teaching him other things such as the fine art of sword-fighting.

Every bit opposed to Garnet'due south more businesslike and Amethyst'southward more fun-loving personalities, Pearl acts as a mentor. She always tries to speak gently to him and is usually the first to evidence business concern when taking him on a unsafe mission. However, in "Space Race", she allows her ain interest in returning to infinite to cloud her ameliorate sentence, despite trying to accomplish her original goal of showing Steven the cosmos.

Pearl as well tends to patronize Steven and frequently underestimates his abilities, expressing maternal feelings towards him and treating him like a fragile child rather than a fellow Crystal Gem, although over fourth dimension she does respect the fact he is growing upwards. She is surprised to detect that Steven is able to summon his shield in "Gem Glow", return to normal later transforming his fingers into cats in "True cat Fingers", and think of strategies to escape the obstacles that they encounter in "Cheeseburger Backpack", besides as the Pyramid Temple in "Serious Steven". Pearl occasionally ignores Steven, such as when he brings upwardly the idea of anybody eating breakfast together in "Together Breakfast". She likewise does not feel that Steven is prepared to learn about the dark side of Gem history, when she tells Amethyst that Steven "isn't ready" to acquire about the harsher reputation of Gems in "On the Run". In "Sworn to the Sword", it is shown Pearl's maternal feelings towards Steven stems from her love and adoration for Rose Quartz, and she views Steven as a crucial nugget to the Crystal Gems.

Despite recent events and her guilt, she is shown to back up Steven and his endeavors in "Historical Friction". She compliments him on his wisdom when he describes the flaw in Mayor Dewey'south portrayal of William Dewey in his play. She helps rewrite the play to exist more accurate and is the only Gem to watch information technology, being ecstatic to see Steven onstage. In "Reunited" Pearl mentally states that everything she does is for Rose/Pink and Steven.

Garnet

"	You lot are your own jewel. You command your destiny. Not me, not Rose, not Steven. But you must choose to exist stiff, and then we can move forward. And then I can trust you again.	„
	~ Garnet to Pearl in "Friend Ship"

Like the other Gems, Pearl respects and follows Garnet'southward orders without question. She does, all the same, believe that the Gems are a team, so she may not exactly come across Garnet equally the leader, virtually probable because she will always see Rose Quartz as their true leader, despite her absenteeism. When situations are requiring executive decisions, however, Pearl commonly defers to Garnet. In "Clandestine Squad", it is clear that she shares an unprecedented fright towards her, along with Amethyst, to such an extent that both she and Amethyst willingly prepare bated their differences to go on the popped Precious stone-bubble a secret instead of facing the consequences. She has known about her true identity equally a fusion for several thousand years. In "Cry for Help", it is credible that Pearl looks up to Garnet equally she is excited to fuse into Sardonyx to destroy the Communication Hub that Peridot rebuilt. Pearl enjoyed fusing with Garnet and so much that she rebuilt the Communication Hub twice then she and Garnet could just fuse into Sardonyx, resulting in Garnet'southward anger and temporary estrangement for the deception. In "Friend Send", Pearl repaired her relationship with Garnet, making peace with her insecurities in the process. She is shown to idolize Garnet, or rather Ruby and Sapphire's human relationship, as in that same episode she claims that they are the perfect relationship, and she wanted to fuse and then desperately because she craved being a part of a stable relationship.

Ruby-red and Sapphire

Pearl has not been shown interacting with either Ruby or Sapphire individually. However, during "Keystone Motel", Reddish is greatly angered past Pearl's trickery regarding the Communication Hub, whereas Sapphire is more willing to forgive. This conflict led to Garnet temporarily defusing.

In the episode "The Answer", Pearl and Ruby/Sapphire are on opposing sides (in fact, Pearl is well-nigh to "poof" Sapphire before Ruby's intervention). Ironically, Pearl'south deportment resulted in Garnet's creation and her (and by extension, Reddish and Sapphire) joining the Crystal Gems. Also, in the episode "Hit the Diamond", Pearl seems delighted to see Ruby and Sapphire when they un-fuse from Garnet.

Amethyst

"	I hope y'all can forgive me...You're the i good matter that came out of this mess, I always thought y'all were proud of that.	„
	~ Pearl to Amethyst in "On the Run"

The 2 used to share a strained relationship, which was likely due to their contrasting personalities. Pearl is oft seen scolding Amethyst, who frequently teases Pearl in return. Nonetheless, Pearl and Amethyst have been shown to exist able to put their differences aside on multiple occasions to piece of work together. For instance, in "Secret Team", Pearl and Amethyst are forced to fight together, and complement each other's skills, even sharing appreciative smiles; in "Warp Tour", they praise and adore each other'southward fighting techniques; in "On the Run", the two reveal that they really do deeply care about each other, despite their differences and frequent fights. In "Story for Steven" they are shown having a much closer human relationship before the events of the series, shut plenty to be perfectly content hugging and resting in each other's arms. It tin can be causeless that Rose'south difference and Steven's birth somehow lead to their relationship deteriorating over time, every bit Amethyst implies that they used to fuse more often in "Giant Woman". Their relationship seems to accept been slowly improving over the course of the serial. In "Log Date seven xv two" information technology is shown that it has improved plenty for them to form Opal with niggling effort. In "Know Your Fusion", Pearl hugs Amethyst and tells her that she is amazed at what Smoky Quartz was able to do with their yo-yo, and lets Amethyst know how practiced an influence she has been on Steven, while Amethyst blushes. In "Final One Out of Beach City", Pearl is eager to go to the rock concert with Amethyst after Greg has to abolish the show due to a previous request from Barbara to play cards with her and Vidalia. In the same episode, Amethyst compliments Pearl about how hardcore and absurd she is, and is besides shown to be concerned that Pearl might get rejected by the mysterious woman.

Greg Universe

"	Greg is... nice, Steven, but I dubiety Rose would've entrusted someone like him with such a powerful weapon.	„
	~ Pearl in "Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation Light Cannon"

She is on speaking terms with Greg and has shown to at least try to be civil towards him, even fixing his van later information technology is wrecked in "Sea Gem". In "House Guest" she is broken-hearted virtually him living with the Crystal Gems, and she is usually the showtime (and frequently the only one) of the Crystal Gems to get irritated or fifty-fifty mad at him every bit shown in "The Bulletin". Because of Pearl's close human relationship with Rose Quartz, it is possible that her negative view of Greg stems from her blaming him for his part in Rose's "decease" in giving nascence to Steven, much similar she harbors a similar resentment towards Steven equally revealed in "Rose's Scabbard".

In "Reformed", still, the two are seen casually tinkering with his van together and seemingly getting along very well, showing an improvement of their relationship.

The episode "Nosotros Need to Talk" further explores their relationship in the by when Rose was notwithstanding live. Pearl is shown to be very jealous of Rose's new-found affection for him and goes to great lengths of trying to challenge him and dissuade him from pursuing a human relationship with Rose. This, combined with the fact that she sees Greg partially responsible for Rose's demise, explains why she seems to be uncomfortable, condescending and resentful towards him in episodes gear up in the electric current time.

In "Chille Tid", Pearl has a dream in which she suggests to Rose that they forget about Greg and explore the galaxy together. Much to her horror, Rose's face turns into Greg's.

"Mr. Greg" goes in depth on their relationship. Pearl expresses her feelings about Greg and Rose's relationship through song while she thinks Greg and Steven are comatose. In this song, Pearl says she feels lost without Rose, and that at commencement, she was able to stand Greg earlier Rose fell in dearest with him. She holds a grudge confronting him but seems to have given up at a sure point, accepting the fact that Rose had chosen Greg over her. Greg was awake the whole time and afterwards the song is finished, he says that he does not think things can ever be normal between them. Steven reveals he brought Pearl with them for the purpose of trying to repair their human relationship and sings "Both of You" to show how much they take in mutual. Their bond shows slap-up improvement throughout the residuum of the episode, and at the cease, Steven quotes Pearl's song, singing the line "It's over, isn't it?" while watching them express mirth with each other, implying Pearl no longer holds Rose's love for Greg against him and the ii can finally work towards a practiced friendship.

In "Jewel Harvest", when the Gems meet Andy DeMayo for the first time, Amethyst resents "some new Greg" intruding in their business, to which Pearl adds, "Our Greg is clearly the superior Greg," showing that Pearl has come to agree Greg in genuine esteem, a marked comeback from her previous resentment-tinged dank détente with him.

Sugilite

"	You're just besides much!	„
	~ Pearl to Sugilite in "Coach Steven"

Pearl dislikes Sugilite due to her reckless and violent nature. Pearl near grudgingly admits that she is jealous of Sugilite'due south strength (in a song), simply she cuts herself off before finishing the line. Her dislike for Sugilite also stems from concern over Garnet and Amethyst as she believes it is dangerous for them to stay fused for longer periods of time; they might start losing their individuality. Besides, Pearl'due south ain competing desire to feel "stronger" (when fused equally Sardonyx) likewise may play a role in her feelings to Sugilite.

Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond

"	Everything I ever did, I did for her. At present she's gone... only I'yard still hither.	„
	~ Pearl in "Rose's Scabbard"

Pearl'south closest relationship before the series started was with Rose Quartz. Pearl fought with her confronting their own Homeworld. She (falsely) believed herself to be Rose's "sole confidant" and therefore the only living beingness privy to all of Rose'south secrets, a position she took peachy pride in. Pearl looked upward to Rose for guidance and support, and she developed romantic feelings for Rose over time.

In "Story for Steven", when Rose bragged near Greg's singing, Pearl is quick to note equally soon as he is out of earshot that she tin besides sing, much to the amusement of the other Crystal Gems.

"Sworn to the Sword" reveals that she was and then devoted to protecting Rose that she sacrificed herself constantly for her, having adopted the homo title of a "knight" to middle to the point of obsessive recklessness.

"We Need to Talk" farther explores the human relationship betwixt the two. Set in the eighty'due south like the previous episode "Story for Steven" information technology reveals that Pearl was very jealous of Greg, constantly trying to persuade him that Rose's angel for him were only a "stage" because as a human he was eventually going to laissez passer away while Rose, being a Precious stone, would live on. She also challenges him by convincing Rose to fuse with her in front end of Greg, and later gloating that as a human being he would never know such intimacy with Rose. Pearl'south jealousy of Greg implied that her feelings for Rose were romantic. This was afterward confirmed past show author Matt Burnett via a tweet^[1] later the episode aired.

It is non currently known to what extent Rose Quartz reciprocated Pearl's romantic feelings, however, when asked if Pearl's feelings for Rose were supposed to be a i-sided crush, Matt Burnett described the situation equally "much more complicated"^[2]. In any case, their relationship was a very close one, as they hands and casually fused into Rainbow Quartz.

In "Chille Tid" Pearl has a dream in which she suggests to Rose that they forget virtually Greg and explore the galaxy together. In "The Reply", is confirmed that Pearl and Rose have been together since, at least, the year 3734 BCE.

However, in "Rose's Scabbard", she gains a different kind of unease due to him containing Rose's Sword and thus having some connection to Rose. This cognition distressed her greatly equally Rose supposedly told her everything, causing her to resent Lion to the point where she ran away with Rose's Scabbard to the Precious stone Battlefield. After gaining encouragement from Steven, she seems to respect Lion a bit more while all the same feeling tenuous almost him in general.

Connie Maheswaran

"	Recall, Connie. In the oestrus of battle, Steven is what matters. Y'all don't thing.	„
	~ Pearl in "Sworn to the Sword"

Pearl originally saw Connie as just Steven'due south friend, but in "Sworn to the Sword", Pearl, initially hundred-to-one, was touched to the point of tears by Connie's passion and willingness to defend Steven, thus mentors her in the fine art of sword fighting, and related Connie to herself and Steven to Rose during the training. She had begun to teach her the way that she had taught herself; to risk her life to protect Steven. However, Pearl presently learned from her mistake. Now, Pearl thinks that Connie is an expert on sword fighting and that she and Steven tin can exist bully knights together.

"Precious stone Hunt" further shows the trusting mentor-pupil human relationship between Pearl and Connie when the latter accompanies Steven on her get-go Jewel mission. Pearl agrees to leave Connie and Steven to their own devices while they are searching for the Snow Monster and keeps in touch with them via Walkie Talkie, just rushes to their assistance every bit soon equally they meet serious trouble.

When Pearl starts to cry, Bismuth tells Pearl that she starts to weep whenever Pearl does, implying they had a close human relationship previously.

I told her, "My appearance is simply a conscious manifestation of light." and she said, "I know how that is." although, heh, I highly incertitude information technology. Oh!

In "Know Your Fusion", an illustration of Pearl is seen on a "test your forcefulness" device. On this device, Pearl is the weakest one shown, beingness weaker than Stevonnie, Garnet, Opal and Sugilite.
She is the graphic symbol that has sung almost of all in the series.
In "Last 1 Out of Beach City", Pearl admits that she does not have a license or legal citizenship in the state, fully aware of the absurdity of registering for either, having lived before such systems where installed and being unable to confess she is from space.
Pearl's clothes in "Final 1 Out of Beach Urban center" resemble Lauren Zuke's Bad Pearl drawing.
It has been hinted at in several episodes that Pearl used to belong to Pink Diamond, like:
- In Space Race, her infinite adapt diameter the insignia of Pinkish Diamond.
- In Bubbled, Garnet mentioned 1 of the reasons for Rose Quartz shattering Pink Diamond was and so Pearl could be free.
Pearl is voiced past Deedee Magno Hall.
As of the series' final episode, "The Future", Pearl is the last graphic symbol to speak in the unabridged Steven Universe franchise.
