HISTORY
Daddy's little princess - The first born and therefore the eldest, Pearl was the apple of her fathers eye. Although she loved her mother just as much as a child, it was always her father who she begged to be carried by and her father she wanted to spend all of her time with. He would take her to work on some days and to the park on others, where she'd scream at him to push her higher and higher on the swings. She was a daddy's girl and she loved it. So when Jeremy was born and her mothers attention was pulled from her daughter and to her newborn, Pearl wasn't all that affected by it, because her father still gave her all the attention she wanted. But when Max was born and then Mona, Pearl found that she was no longer the apple of her fathers eye and she began to resent her siblings for it.

Playing grownup
The more children her mother popped out, the more Pearl was expected to do to help and at ten years old, she was changing diapers, bathing the smallest ones and trying keep mona in check. The Landry family didn't have much in ways of money and couldn't afford to do things like go on family vacations or take weekend trips down to the cinema or themepark, so the kids were left to make up their own fun. And Pearl was often put in charge of making sure they didn't get carried away when they were out playing. It was difficult and Pearl grew irritable and angry and because of that, she and her siblings had more than their fair share of arguments and fights. But the more she helped out with her siblings, the closer she grew to her mother who she had always had a good relationship with but not one quite as strong as she did with her father. Pearl began to respect and appreciate her mother more than she ever had before.

The Academy
When she came into her power and it came time to head to the Academy, Pearl had been thrilled. And had felt awful because of it. She had been given a chance to get away from her crazy family and she took it with both hands. Having a break away from the chaotic life of her family was bliss and it gave her room to grow and have fun, something she felt she couldn't have much of thanks to having to look after her younger siblings. Things went well during her first year at the Academy, she proved to be quite adept with her gift, she did well in class and she made friends easily. But it was when she turned fifteen that things took a turn for the worse - her father left the family and his sudden disappearance crushed her. It was then that she went through her wild child phase. She drank, she had sex, she partied and she got into more fights than any other fire boy at the school and never once did she go home to see her family. It was only when her mother called her to say that she wasn't feeling well and that she needed someone to help take care of the kids that Pearl returned home.

Broken home
Queenie was diagnosed with brain cancer and once again Pearl felt her world crashing down around her. Though this time she didn't hide away at the academy and bury her grief and anger with alcohol, drugs and parties. No, she couldn't, because her mother needed her and most importantly, her siblings - who were now without a father and soon to be without a mother. So she dropped her plans to attend college, only barely managing to graduate highschool, and stayed home. Pearl was eerily calm during her mothers passing. She cried once, after the funeral, once she'd put her youngest brother and sister to bed. Overwhelmed by the loss of her mother and the task of taking care of five children, she drank herself into a stupor and cried herself to sleep. And that was only the time she allowed herself to grieve, because she knew that if she wanted to have any chance at trying to keep an already broken family from falling apart any further - she was going to have to be strong.

Now she's doing everything she can to put food on the table and make sure her little brothers and sisters have a roof over their heads. It's hard as hell and proving more difficult with Mona and Max, who seem to thrive off of causing chaos and screwing up their lives. Pearl is drowning beneath the weight of trying to keep her family together and she's struggling to reach the surface.
