Drawing by Brad. Coloring done by Zan.
I've got a beautiful drawing of Pearl, actually several but those are in X-Men uniforms. The one I'm putting up here while I LOVE it is more of an "after Pearl loses the Ice Queen act" and I want a drawing of her DURING her Ice Queen stage. I tried to trace one out but of course it sucks. Still, it should give you a basic idea.

Appearance: 5' 2", shoulder-length strawberry-blond hair, fog grey eyes, 135 pounds. Pearl could be stunningly beautiful. Even with her 10 extra pounds, which gives her more of a sense of ripeness about her then one of being fat. However she never wears make up. Her clothing is always a size or two too big for her and very "boxy." There's no shape to her clothing. Her beautiful hair is always pulled back into a severe bun. She looks and acts cold.

*Illusion generation: Remarkable (30) *Disrupt Machinery: Excellent (20)
*Force Field: Excellent (20) - Power increases 5 points for every 1 espresso or 20 oz (one bottle) of Jolt Cola up to Amazing (55) past that she can no longer control her power.
Limitations/Special Considerations - Pearl MUST consume at least the amount of caffeine in your average candy bar per day or she will eventually slip into a coma and die. Because of her need for caffeine, however, Pearl does not require any sleep what so ever.
Talents: Business/Finance, High Society, Singing
Contacts: None
History: Pearl was born and raised in sunny Costa Mesa, CA. . She was born with strange powers. In fact before her birth Mrs. Banks had to take up living in a room that had NO metal or eletrical stuff in it during her last 2 months of pregnancy.
Pearl wasn't the first mutant in her family. In New Orleans nearly 100 years before Pearl was even born her cousin Edwin Banks was born to his prositute mother. Edwin had extremely strong precognitive powers and with them became one of the richest men in the world. Like Pearl his body craved a certain chemical. For Pearl she needs caffine or she'd die. For Edwin it was a chemical found in the drug abstinith.
When Pearl was 8 she heard screams coming from the rest of the house. It seemed that the psychopath Sabertooth had came upon her family home in the middle of the night. He was injured. The Banks didn't know who he was, just that he was a mutant in need. They let him in the house - and he showed his gratitude by killing them all, including her brother, Andrew. She hit Sabertooth with every bit of her power. Fighting him off. Especially when he told her that someone had paid him a lot of money to kidnap her and kill her family. Pearl escaped, just barely. Flying on a holographic carpet to the Costa Mesa Police Department. They were shocked when the blood covered child flew in, screamed about her family being dead, and then guzzled coffee like there was no tomorrow.
Cousin Edwin allowed Pearl to live with him, he died a short time after her 18th birthday, leaving her a list of business dealings that would prove very successful for her. She annoys everyone in New Orleans because she never comes to any parties. Pearl owns homes all over the world and though she visits them often, she's never seen leaving them. She lives the life of a hermit except for the servants who clean the houses once a week.
Pearls talent is as follows - by controlling electrical and magnetic pulses in the air around her, she can form "holograms" that can be solid or not as she chooses. They can be as large or as small as she wants and can do anything except have a smell. She can also create a magnet field. When upset or sick the magnetic field that's constantly around her has been known to mess up machines, erase floppies, etc. However her power can be charged up by caffeine.
For every 1 espresso or 20 oz (one bottle) of Jolt Cola her power can increase a half a rank. However, if she has more caffeine then in 5 bottles of Jolt her power goes haywire and will not work properly. Anyone around her will get shocks and machines will go bonkers, etc. She also gets a little weird when she has so much caffeine in her system. But who doesn't? Pearl doesn't go out because she's afraid of loving anyone else. She's already lost her parents, her brother, and her cousin.
Someday, she'd like to meet Sabertooth and ask him why he killed her family and who he was working for....
