Ramu:
Gem placement: top of the Left foot
While to the others they are simply labeled pearl for the purpose of OC's and for a real name
they will be labeled with nicknames here.
To canon it'd simply be 'pearl' like every other pearl
_____________
The new floor model Pearl here to show off the latest looks and new accessories
She's quietly intelligent, capping herself off as no one likes a 'show off'. She is intelligent enough to be aware of whats expected and not step outside of line.
Shes here to entertain after all and isn't that just so much better than standing around?
Wide and shiny eyed and happy to be useful, loving to dance with the display ornaments at a moments notice or change her outfit before another gem for them to see how it'd look in full color and on their own pearl if they didn't bring her.
Ramu hasn't thought yet of why Nene hasn't been picked- maybe it's just that she slips through the cracks or just unlucky that she hasn't been selected yet when other pearls are picked over her to be given away
At least Ramu finds it enjoyable that they get along so well- it'd be miserable being stuck with another pearl that she didn't like!

Nene:
Gem placement: Chest
While to the others they are simply labeled pearl for the purpose of OC's and for a real name
they will be labeled with nicknames here.
To canon it'd simply be 'pearl' like every other pearl
Nene has been servicnig this reef for many years now, seeing multiple pearls come and go
It's hard for pearls with very specific gem placements to be taken- at least thats what Nene assumes for the newer comer taking longer to
Nene has grown attached to Ramu, the two often at eachothers hip
Finding solace in that - even unspoken- that theres someone here who knows exactly what its like
how silly of her, its great here isn't it?
too many wandering thoughts lately… Nene thus needs to busy herself more as clearly shes having too much time to think more than a pearl should
To be bubbly and kind, she smiles everyday

They are not the abalones personal servant pearls, think of the two more of common servant helpers
like workers at retail.
Waiting for more.
As all floor model pearls they await rejuvenation for when they're given to their new honor. Seeing it as a badge of pride ready to go 'where they belong'.
Unaware of the true horror of what personhood being stripped and reset truly is as like many pearls who believe the homeworlds message and rules that they are just to do as told.
To quote Yellow Pearl " Of course not! My feelings are irrelevant."
The two embody what a era 1 reef pearl is like before they are given to a gem.
______________
Specifically made for how Pearl in canon was not told to format herself and thus has every color available to her palette. These are currently thought of as 'generic' pearls for they have no sepcified owner but belong to the court and Reef where they're placed- which is currently White diamonds
WHILE THE WORLD SPEAKS ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS, THIS IS THE REALITY.
For more than two and a half years, you have stood by me through some of the hardest moments of my life. Your support, your words, and your kindness helped us keep going when we were close to breaking. Because of you, we were able to hold on, and I will never forget that.
But the truth is, our story is not over yet.
We have lost everything, our home, our source of income, and the stability we once had. It feels like we are not just starting from zero, but trying to rise from below it.
Now things are even harder with my father’s illness. He needs ongoing care and treatment, while we are facing a complete lack of income. Even covering our basic daily needs has become a real struggle.
We are doing everything we can to stay strong, but we cannot do it alone anymore.
I am not asking for much, just for you to stand by us as you always have. Any support, no matter how small, can make a real difference. It can help us cover my father’s treatment, provide our basic needs, and help us keep going.
And if you are unable to donate, simply sharing our story could help it reach someone who can.
Thank you for being there for us and for not leaving us alone.
Dear Esteemed Donors,
My name is Ahmad, and I am a 16-year-old from northern Gaza… Ahmad family needs your support for Support Ahmad’s Fami

“She died. She can’t come back, even if you keep her stuffed away in a drawer you can’t look at. You’re not waiting for her resurrection; you’ve made yourself her mausoleum.”
