#mod submission

She will whimper and sometimes howl when in distress because she learned to do it as a baby to get the attention of the wolves raising her. The other players find it very off putting, because it genuinely sounds like a wolf doing it. It makes it hard for her to get people to stay around her when she’s crying because it’s kind of piercing. They expect to hear human sobs and instead Pearl starts howling. 

Pearl prefers to sleep in the same bed as someone else. She’s never really gotten used to blankets and she’s come to realize that players don’t typically share beds (Scott gave her the oddest look during Last Life when she asked and told her that it was weird), so she shares with her wolf of the season to keep warm. The exception to this was Limited Life, where Froggy’s little body wasn’t enough to heat her up so she tried sleeping with blankets. She would wake up every morning with them torn to shreds from tossing and turning in her sleep. Eventually BigB noticed and offered to share a bed with her. That and the Secret Life sleepover in her mound are the closest she’s gotten to really feeling like a pack with other players. 

Part of why she took being alone so hard in DL is because wolves aren’t supposed to be alone. A lone wolf is a sick wolf, a wolf that has something deeply wrong with that would make its pack cast it out or leave it to die. Pearl doesn’t want to be a sick wolf. She wants to belong to the pack.
