Pearl Fey

Pearl Fey is a member of a branch family of the Fey clan. She is the daughter of Morgan Fey, who lost her claim to the title of Master to her younger sister Misty. Pearl is a prodigy among spirit mediums, having "intense spiritual power", and also having knowledge of the Fey clan that exceeds that of Misty's daughter Maya, who is expected to assume the title of Master. Though Pearl and Maya have a very close, loving relationship, Morgan, in her attempts to regain her main family status, attempted twice to get rid of Maya in order to place Pearl in position to become the Master instead. As a child, Pearl was quiet around strangers and would run from any whom she encountered. Even if strangers greeted Pearl nicely, or even if Maya herself introduced them to her, it took a long time to gain her trust. This was due to her overprotective, overbearing mother teaching her to do this whenever a suspicious-looking person tried to talk to her. Morgan would spank Pearl if she misbehaved and refused to allow her daughter to grow out her hair like her role model, Maya. Wright has noted that Pearl's speech, and even her laugh, were refined in tone. Nonetheless, Pearl is usually cheerful, kind, and innocent around people she knows, and most people who encounter her describe her as cute. That said, she does have, in Wright's words, "one intense stare". She also at one point managed to tell Franziska von Karma off to the point that the normally fiery-tempered prosecutor was left speechless. Pearl also takes after Maya, Mia, and Iris as a teen by copying some of their body language, and even modified her normal hairstyle with a hair bauble similar to Maya's. She has a similar fiery streak to Maya, but is always willing to help and is still very polite, kind, and courteous to a fault, which Apollo Justice thought made it hard to say no to her. Pearl has very little knowledge about the world outside her village, and is unfamiliar with terms that people in mainstream society take for granted (e.g. "...law...yer?"). This was especially apparent when she was a child, though she was a big fan of picture book author Elise Deauxnim, as well as watching Kids' Masterpiece Theatre every Sunday. As a teenager, Pearl's speech has somewhat modernized, and she appears to be more familiar with everyday terms and colloquialisms of the 21st century. However, she still struggles with modern technology and mispronounces some words (such as calling forensics "forensicking"). Despite enjoying her life in the village, she also relishes going into the city to do common teenage activities such as going to the mall and shopping. As a child, Pearl quickly became upset if she thought Wright was acting too friendly with any woman other than Maya. She would then glare at Wright or slap him, often repeatedly and sometimes even knocking him out. She was very sensitive concerning love between a couple, due to having grown up around unhappy marriages, including that of her own parents. Pearl was thoroughly convinced that Wright and Maya were destined to be together forever, often hinting at their supposed "love", and referring to Wright as Maya's "special someone", as well as getting angry when she felt Wright was being even a small bit unfaithful towards Maya in any way. Owing to her considerable spiritual powers, Pearl is considered a spirit medium prodigy, although her abilities are still not as strong as those of Misty. Nonetheless, Pearl looks up to Maya a great deal and wishes to be like her someday, and as of 2028, Pearl is still the only other medium in Kurain who can channel spirits. Pearl is very sensitive about certain topics, such as how young she looks despite being a teenager and how she is not good at arts and crafts; this latter weakness can be clearly seen in her attempt to piece the Sacred Urn back together or her painting of Kurain Village at night, with the latter being mistaken for a child's scribbles.
