Pearl is a female sea otter, she is Shellington's older sister, and a marine biologist just like him. Instead of being clumsy and nerdy like her brother, she is more serious and wiser about being a mom because she also has a newborn sea otter pup name Periwinkle. Though she does seem to be very close to Shellington. Pearl is very smart and has knowledge to everything there is to know about kelp forests and kelp plants, which she described is actually not a plant, but rather a type of algae. Unlike Shellington, who is allergic to urchins, Pearl does urchin duties, because sea otters are a type of keystone species, which means the kelp forest depends on her (and later Peri) to eat the red urchins, so it stays standing for certain creatures to live in.
Contrary to Shellington, Pearl does not need a helmet when she is underwater, though it's true that she can hold her breath for an extended period of time, so she just goes up for air occasionally, but mostly it's because she needs to be able to eat the urchins she can grab or to feed and clean her son. However, in Above and Beyond, she is seen wearing one. It's also possible that Shellington wouldn't be able to swim all the way up to the surface to breathe, so he wears a helmet when on missions.
Pearl will appear with Periwinkle in the episode The Deep Ocean Discovery (Season 5). She also appears in the Above & Beyond series, where she's become agent, and wears a helmet for the first time. Pearl likely lives in British Columbia, Canada as shown in the Octo-report sections of the Above and Beyond’s series. As of Above and Beyond, she is voiced by Kate Harbour. [1]
