Motivation: Maintaining and growing Salt Water Trading Co., the business her parents established and then passed on to her. Even at a young age Pearl knew she wanted to continue the exciting trading business that her parents did, mingling and mixing with her own kind and that of other creatures. Pearl's knack always went to her namesake, the pearls - she could always locate and judge the quality of a pearl with ease.

Character Summary:

Pearl's parents made their home in a location with an abundant oyster/clam population, naturally they took to trading the pearls and other natural resources to establish themselves a business. Any sort of goods that can be taken from the sea can be distributed from Salt Water Trading Company, the simple name they gave their business. Established and well-to-do in a hippocamp society their only child was spoiled and well-cared for. Thankfully Pearl Dust grew up with the business and learned a good work ethic and friendly social nature.

Having started with their own two hoofs, her parents often worked alongside their workers when collecting their goods and when she was old enough Pearl joined them. She took to her namesake quickly and had a natural talent for locating beautiful pearls. Since she's gotten older she doesn't quite get her hooves as dirty, she won't go out into the field as often but she'll still use that talent for picking out the best pearls for her best clients. Salt Water Trading, Co. is the biggest distributor of pearls to Equestria and chances are any pearl on land went through Pearl Dust's business.

The story of earning her cutie mark started in one of the company's pearl fields. Like any other day Pearl was doing her best to collect as many pearls as she could before they had to call it a day. One clam in particular was being much more difficult than usual and she labored over the task of opening it for what seemed like hours. No matter how she tried she could not get it to open - but not to be defeated, she took it home to continue the work. It would be nearly three days later before she could get the clam to open and what she discovered was the most beautiful pearl she could ever remember. The exotic rose flecked with gold seemed to be a treasure just for her and she knew this company was her future. That pearl is worn by her ever day now as the center piece on a pearl string necklace.

Pearl is a socialite, among her own kind and others who she crosses paths with at the docks near Hoofington. However because of what she is; she finds herself limited and right now one of her biggest goals is to work with the land ponies to develop a way to make land traveling easier for her own kind. Until then she's made arrangements with Taxi the pegasus to help her travel whenever business, or social intrigue, has called her.

There's bound to be a few as long as they're different enough...after all, if you've ever looked through the series, there's a lot of ponies with similar names and even cutie marks through the years. But Pearl Dust and Pearl Wishes's cutie marks are different enough, as well as their stories that they're sufficiently different characters.
