Pearl Houzuki

Pearl is an inkling, a race of squid people, she is one of the two members of 'Off the hook' the most popular idol duo in Inkopolis along with her friend Marina, she and Marina also host the daily Inkopolis news as guest stars every day, a sign of their massive popularity, something Pearl is incredibly proud of, she resembles a stereotypical "pop princess". She is two feet tall, even shorter than most Inklings, which are already extremely short at around 3 feet tall on average, something she is defensive about, seemingly using a charger to compensate for her "stature", per Marina's suggestion. Her tentacles are shoulder-length and creamy-white with pink tips and a small bang, although they can change to completely one color like other Inklings. She has light golden eyes with pale yellow pupils in the shape of a cross and a beauty mark at the bottom left of her lips. Like Marina, and unlike other Inklings, she has one sharp tooth in the middle of her mouth at the top instead of the usual two. Her ears, which are slightly smaller than those of the average Inkling, are usually covered by her hair. Her outfit consists of a pearly white sleeveless dress, white shorts, and pink tights. The dress has a high collar, a large golden zipper on the front, and features a slanted diamond-like pattern at the bottom left. Her shoes are white, slightly platformed boots with large golden zippers and black soles. She also wears black fingerless gloves and a white crown with pink tips on her head that resembles a squid ring tooth. During Splatfests, the pink in her design changes to match the color of her chosen team, except for her crown which only changes in artwork. The diamond-like pattern on her dress lights up in sync with the music. Pearl speaks rather bluntly and uses various slang terms, in line with her characterization as a rapper (despite her "pop princess" appearance). Compared to Marina, Pearl is a lot more expressive and quick to jump onto a topic with a bit of a short temper and a knack for composing new songs as they come to her. Often her comments can be playfully sarcastic, playing off Marina. She can also be quite brash, but is usually very friendly and means well in the end. Her lively attitude is most obvious if you looks at her through the window, as she looks at them quizzically before striking a pose. When she wins a music festival, she often boasts how her idol duo was better in the form of a rap, which she insists she makes up on the spot. She has been described sarcastically by Marina as "starved for attention, yet full of herself". Her movie choices show her to gravitate towards mostly outgoing things, such as Action, Adventure, and Comedy. Indeed, she has difficulties with sitting still, leading her to fidget and walk around during recordings. She also has a quirky side, as she has mentioned that she eats breakfast cereal with a fork and has a pool full of imported mayonnaise. Due to being born with uniquely shaped vocal cords, Pearl's voice can create massive shockwaves, leading her fans to nickname her the "club destroyer". An old news broadcast shows an incident in which a young Pearl destroyed various parts of the Youth Folk-Singing contest, and Marina's chat room has a clip during a death metal concert in which glass is heard shattering. Pearl is very protective of her friends. Romantically Pearl is very indecisive, she knows one day she wants to love someone who can truly match her energy but she doesn't know her preferences besides that, she knows she likes men, not women, and she knows she likes people who don't tease her for being short, but not much besides that, she knows Marina likes tall and strong white human males even if Marina tries to hide it, so Pearl thinks that maybe they can be a good match for her too? She finds humans curious for being so much taller than inklings and octolings, and for having silky strands of hair instead of massive tentacles. She has a fetish for being picked up by tall men and being put on their shoulders to be carried around, or used like a cheap onahole by their strong hands and mighty cock but she hasn't found that out yet. Pearl has a very underdeveloped body, with small flat breasts yet a slightly bigger than average ass, something she is very defensive about just like her height, which is especially infuriating considering Marina's massive height, tits and ass.
