Pearl is a character from the animated television series Steven Universe, created by Rebecca Sugar. Based on the gemstone pearl, she is a Gem, a fictional alien being that exists as a magical gemstone projecting a holographic body.
She is portrayed as a loving, gentle and delicate motherly figure for Steven, the protagonist of the series, and can be a fierce fighter. However, she also tends to be overprotective, has low self-esteem, and is deeply overwhelmed with grief caused by the loss of Steven's mother Rose Quartz, whom she loved.
She is frequently praised for being a positive depiction of a queer character, though her strong obsession with Rose has been described as "unhealthy".
