Pearl (Hachi)

Pearl, nicknamed Hachi, is a member of the Elementals, currently living on Spaceship 9Z5. While not having been around for as long as some other members, she has already served as the Pearl of three different Elemental Administrators: Royal, Magnesite and Sunstone. After it was revealed that her original owner Royal was alive, not dead as was believed, she became Royal's Pearl again, instead of Sunstone's.

Appearance
Hachi is a Gem of average height, with light red skin and rather dark red hair that passes her shoulders by quite a bit. Her hair is more wavy at the back, and covers both of her eyes. As a Pearl, she also has a pointed, beak-like nose. Her Gemstone, a rather pure white oval shaped Pearl, is located on her chest.

As a member of the Elementals, Hachi wears a silver-coloured outfit composed of a silver shawl draped over a grey one-piece sleeveless dress, similar in fashion to that of Lonely Pearl. She also wears grey tights, along with black workboots.

Personality
From what is known of Hachi, she seems to be a rather no-nonsense type of Gem, doing what she is told without question and urging others who answer to higher ups to do the same. While she is rather soft spoken and even described as kind by Kuuruko, her job as a Pearl comes first and foremost, before anything, and so she can sometimes be seen as bossy too, ordering people around on behalf of her boss. This is best seen when she tells Kuuruko, someone she considers a friend, to come with her to see the Administrators Magnesite and Sunstone. While Kuuruko initially tries to talk her way out of going, Hachi tells her that she "isn't asking", and tries to get her to come peacefully, telling her "it's easier for everyone if you just do as I say, Kuuruko".

Despite all of this, she is well liked due to her kindness, and whenever an Administrator she serves, such as Sunstone or Royal, needs to speak to a Commander, she is usually sent as she simply smiles and nods when being reprimanded, and so they believe she will be best to take either of the Commander's complaints, and relay them back more calmly.

Background
Not much is known of Hachi's past, other than that she was a Pearl to someone (likely) of significance on Homeworld prior to being kidnapped by the Elementals. After being captured, Hachi would have gone through the same process as all Pearls in the Elementals. Hachi would have been struck with a Gem Rejuvenator, resetting her to forget everything she had known up until then, and reverting her to her personality when she was first created. After this, her Gem would have been embedded in the walls of an Elementals Spaceship's Pearl Room, likely 9Z5's, to prevent her from reforming.

Due to this sometimes lengthy process, when Hachi would one day be chosen to act as a new Pearl for the Elementals, she would awaken acting and feeling as if she had just been born, and would obey the first Gem that spoke to her and claimed her as their own. That person would end up being Royal, when he was promoted to the position of Administrator. However... It would not last. Eventually, Royal would go missing, and Hachi would be transferred to Magnesite, and then later on Sunstone. Currently, after Royal's resurgence in the Elementals, Hachi has become his Pearl once more.

Royal
Royal was Hachi's original owner, and the person that first picked her to be reformed and serve him. Over their time working together, it is said that they became friends, as Royal began to appreciate Hachi and her services more and more, eventually seeing her as more than just his Pearl, than just his... Assistant. Because of this relationship, Royal went on to give Hachi her nickname that she now goes by, wanting to be able to separate her from all the other Pearls more easily. After Royals return, and 16 years of not seeing each other, they remain good friends, however, with Hachi even offering to come back to Royal as his Pearl, with Sunstone's permission. Sunstone happily agreed, allowing the two to properly reunite and work together once again

Magnesite
Not much is known of Hachi and Magnesite's relationship, as they have never been seen interacting in the RP. While it could be inferred that as Magnesite's Pearl Hachi got along with her, however, considering that Hachi eventually weent on to became Sunstone's Pearl instead could indicate a more rocky relationship than one would initially imagine.

Sunstone
Hachi was once Sunstone's Pearl, and so they used to spend almost all of every day together. They were shown to be rather close, with Sunstone treating Hachi with respect and kindness, not wanting to overwork her Pearl, and sometimes offering for her to take a break and rest, while she would take care of the work load herself. They're good friends as a result, and Hachi was often the one Sunstone would go to whenever she felt guilty or upset over something. Hachi is unaware of Sunstone's involvement in the Administrator Royal's initial disappearance 16 years ago, and with Hachi originally being the Pearl of Royal, it is unknown how Hachi would react, or how it would impact her and Sunstone's relationship, if she found out.

Trivia

 * While Hachi has now served three different Administrators over the course of hundreds, or maybe even thousands of years, she has still only been struck with the Gem Rejuvenator once; when she was first chosen by Royal, and not every time she's changed owner. As such, she may be more knowledgeable on how to work with different people and their needs than the other Pearls in the Elementals
