'''Pearl''' is a walking nightmare, with less than zero hygiene, personal upkeep, or standards. She wears flayed pig heads with lipstick as a mask, shower curtains or clothes that have been ripped apart and sewn back together, and caked-on grossness, all to act as multipliers for her repulsiveness aura, which can bring those around her to their knees. She’ll actively collect trash from other neighborhoods on trash pickup day and carry it back to her general territory to ‘decorate’. Homeless and living off of trash picking, she’s detested even by the other homeless. Ask most, and they would say she’s someone broken by her power, an F-Lister at best, who is really only dangerous as a walking biohazard, or if you step into her territory, which most don’t want to do anyway. | '''Pearl''' is a walking nightmare, with less than zero hygiene, personal upkeep, or standards.

<ref name="DG1.1>Violent F-Listers (Feral) are rarely anyone’s friend. Existing purely on the fringe, they balance the unwelcome attention earned from screwing with the rules of the game with the reputation games of being an F-Lister. That balance is the primary focus, because it’s all they have in what is a very political world of capes - they won’t get a seat at the table, and there’s a very good chance they’ll be public enemy number one, when they don’t stick to the rules and can’t be urged to play along for the sake of standing. Can be a route for those who want to try their hand at being the big bad, or who want to try flying under the radar while gambling with the highest of stakes. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KXE2E9op3r0hYlzVXfVhRFNdQ-BLDCp1jnctMyKkPmk Dispositions Guide]</ref> | |||

Personality
While legitimately deranged, if not feral, Pearl is incredibly high functioning. She is able to utilize her power to present the image of a mad homeless women to the public while actually living it up in secret. She has no qualms breaking the Unwritten Rules or keeping slaves.
Appearance
Pearl wears a pigs mask cut from a real pig, plus a horrible little shower curtain to cover her body. <ref>The giggle sounded very ill-suited coming from the person it had. 'Pearl' wasn't tall, but she was heavy. For a mask, she wore the skin of a pig, which had been flayed in mostly one piece and stapled together where it had torn, and to help it form more of a cowl. Her 'dress' was a shower curtain, the curtain's rings hooked to the pig carcass cowl. Her hair was greasy and she smelled like literal garbage. The eyes that peered through the holes in the pig's face were caked with makeup and liner.

When I say 'pretty darn resistant', I'd really say that the 80-100% resistance they had would veer one way or the other depending on how in concert they were with their passenger at the time of the encounter. - Comment by WildBow on Reddit</ref>
Trivia
- Pearl seems to be modeling herself of of the phrase "Pearls before Swine", a phrase that can be traced back to the bible, as such there are numerous interpretations of the phrase.
