Pearl was married to a man with whom she had a daughter named Annabelle and three other unidentified children. Both Pearl and her daughter could walk in daylight thanks to the Lapis Lazuli gem created by Emily Bennett. Pearl had a loyal follower named Harper, a soldier left for dead in battle. She helped him escape death by feeding him her blood and transforming him into a vampire, for which Harper was extremely grateful. This also explains his fidelity and obedience to her before his death. Pearl, among many others, was a vampire residing in Mystic Falls in 1864. She owned and operated an apothecary. Elena's ancestor, Johnathan Gilbert, had been affectionate toward her, and Anna later said her mother's feelings were mutual. However, when a Gilbert watch, designed to detect approaching vampires, pointed at her, he realized she was actually a vampire. After a brief astonishment and hesitation, he eventually aided in her capture, which was considered a wicked betrayal by both Anna and her mother. She was placed with 25 other vampires to be burned in the tomb of Fell's Church, even though Emily had cast a spell that sealed and protected the vampires in the tomb. The reason for this was that Emily had simply been fulfilling a deal she had made with Damon: he would protect Emily's current family (including her children and all their descendants) in exchange for the protection spell taking effect with Katherine in the tomb. She and her servant Harper were later imprisoned in the tomb nearly a century and a half ago.
