Pearl is an elderly alien belonging to a race of shapeshifters
Conversation about this could be opened by the player noting the difference between her appearance and her care plan photo
While Pearl could once shapeshift at will, her age and deteriorating health have made her ability more unstable – she may appear with different features and characteristics on different days. She presents with antlers for this prototype.
Shapeshifters are fairly uncommon in this time period. Despite her frailty, due to her ability, some staff and fellow clients view her as untrustworthy and “false.”
Very kind and gentle demeanour, but has a playful sense of humour – player can point out that even with her lack of control over her ability, she rarely presents as a predator, instead mimicking prey animals such as fish, deer and rabbits.
Pearl makes a conscious effort to dress and appear as humanoid and “normal” as possible, to help staff feel more at ease.
Loves photography, cinema and nature documentaries.
Previously worked as a model; was highly sought after in some circles due to her shapeshifting
In her younger days with more control over her ability, she adored the ocean and so enjoyed her aquatic forms the most; fish, turtles, dolphins, etc. Could be reflected in her room decor with an ocean/aquatic motif
Photographs/framed posters in her room could be examined for dialogue options, ask about previous work/family
“Pearl” is not her real name, real name is redacted from her care plan; could be a running theme with clients for a possible darker undercurrent to story, erasing clients’ previous identities
Lore dump for a character in my new university assignment; set in a nursing home for monsters/aliens/other creatures, I love visual novels and I love a cute bouncy anime waifu as much as the next gal but where’s the love for elderly extraterrestrials
Please note the elderly extraterrestrials will not be romancable, but will definitely appreciate you spending time with them and maybe doing a jigsaw puzzle or two and maybe getting to the bottom of why no staff are allowed up to the second floor
