Pearl is a big freaking nerd and no one can tell me otherwise
She lives in town during the summer months to do science research in town. She lives about an hour away during the rest of the year closer to her university.
There’s very little light pollution in Starlight. She lives in a little trailer in the outskirts of town where she sets up her telescope for observations.
She has a research grant that pays for her supplies and some of the conferences she attends but she works at the diner in the morning shift for some pocket money
She is also such a social butterfly and needs to talk to people or she’ll drive herself crazy
She graduated undergrad early and is currently starting her graduate studies at 20
She was a homeschool kid growing up and didn’t really have friends her age until she moved to Starlight.
She thinks of Dinah like a big sister and will often sleep over with her, Belle, and Tassita at their apartment.
One time Pearl set up a meteor shower watch party a few weeks moving to Starlight and invited Belle, Tassita, and Dinah and told them to invite whoever else they wanted
She fully thought it was going to be maybe a friend or two, maybe 6 or 7 people at most
Almost the entire town ended up going, bringing picnic blankets and lawn chairs, setting up folding tables and bringing snacks and drinks pot luck style, making a bonfire.
Pearl was so excited, she was a little stressed, but glad that everyone was there to share something that she was so passionate about
She let some of the little kids look into the telescope she set up and gave them so many fun astronomy facts
As the night goes on it ends up just being the twenty-somethings crowd around the bonfire.
Rusty, unknowing to Pearl, has been working up the courage to try and talk to her all night and is over rehearsing everything he could possibly say to strike up a conversation
But it’s actually Pearl who starts talking to him. And for the rest of the night they’re just wrapped up in their talk. Not worrying about anyone else.
