Gender : Female
Element : Water
Role : Skylander
Homeworld : The Docks by the Sea

Background : 
Biography : Wash Buckler found himself growing lonely as the years wore on, and he had yet found himself a partner. All of the other Skylanders had already started their families, all but Wash. He did have feelings for a certain woman, but the odds of them being together was impossible. So, finally fed up with being alone, Wash Buckler led his crew on a journey to find Poseidon. It was a difficult adventure, but he eventually made his way into the sea’s depths and stood before the angry god of the sea. Impressed by his bravery and skill, as well as his devotion to the sea, Poseidon granted Wash Buckler’s wish and gave him a small, blue egg. Wash Buckler was confused, as he had asked for a woman to brighten his life, but trusted Poseidon’s gift and left with the egg. 

A few months passed when the egg hatched, revealing an octopus like sea dragon. Wash Buckler was overjoyed, and has since raised his daughter among the roughness of pirates and the seas alike. 

Personality : Pearl is a rough and tough daughter of a pirate, and adventurous to boot! She knows the in and outs of a ship, and can be seen swinging from the sails. She never shows fear, and is often the first to offer to help others on tough adventures. She’s spunky and wild, sometimes even abrasively so, but she tries to get along with everybody. Pearl hates evil with a passion, as most Skylanders do! Pearl one day dreams to beat the stereotype that woman can’t be captains on a pirate ship by having her own ship, just like Wash Buckler.

Appearance : Pearl is a mix of an octopus and a sea dragon. She has tentacle like hair and three large tentacles for tails. While some think she has wings, they’re actually just fins that she uses to aide her speed on both land and sea. She can seem a bit awkward on land, having a bit of a waddle to her step, but in the water she’s graceful. Pearl’s legs are slightly deformed, as they are far smaller than legs should be. She often covers them up with her tentacles, and tucks them away while swimming. Pearl also has no teeth but can have a nasty bite if she uses her steam water attack!

Attacks : Pearl is fast and slippery, often using her fins to help her dodge attacks. Her toes excrete ink, and she can breathe a jet of steaming water and bubbles as well. The most lethal attack of hers, however, is the three swords she wields with her tails. Growing up, Pearl trained with many of the other Skylanders to hone her swordsmanship, including Wash Buckler and Chop Chop.

I’ve debated posting this character for a while now, but here she is! When Wash Buckler was first revealed, I instantly loved him! It was the Skylander equivalent of Davy Jones from Pirates xD I had almost changed the Queen’s shipping to be with Wash, but kept her with Kaos mostly because in the Skylander universe, she’s meant to be evil, unlike her Legend of Spyro counterpart. Being with Wash would make her good, and that’s a no no. Still didn’t stop me from making a ‘what if’ baby! I ended up really liking the design, so I made a more believable story for her and made her canon 🙂 Nooo, she’s not still the Queen’s daughter, but she may have some influence 😉 Poseidon could have been aware of a certain crush of Wash’s, muwahahahaha!

Also a BIG thank you to Liz for helping me out on her color scheme!
