Ray warns the class to stay away from the undertow to avoid getting caught in the current and later looking at Dory who was knocked unconsciously by the large group of stingrays. Ray is telling his class about the stingray migration and during the spot where the stingray migration occurs in which Mr. Pearl returns in the sequel, albeit only making two appearances throughout the film. She briefly appears at the end of the film, welcoming Nemo and newcomer Squirt into the class as she, Nemo, and the other students prepare for a new adventure for exploring. She is the only one to scream at the situation. When the divers appear, she flees with the rest of the class, being protected by Mr. When Marlin accuses Nemo of swimming passed the drop off, she and the other kids try to defend Nemo. Like the other children, she tries to see how close to it she can swim. She was part of the group who saw the boat. Ray's students, Nemo meets Pearl and her friends, Tad and Sheldon, while waiting to start school. This trait was presumably inherited from her father, who has a similar release of ink when he encounters Bruce and his fellow sharks. Whenever she gets nervous or scared, she squirts her squid ink, or 'inks' as she calls it. She also claims to be able to walk on land. Pearl is pink like her father Ted, but unlike him, her face is positioned in the middle.
