Born and raised as an only child in the affluent suburbs of New Miami City, Nina Perez grew up in a nurturing environment where her loving parents fostered her gifts and supported her dreams and goals.

Despite of her solitary upbringing, she excels in her studies and pursues her passions as a Fashion Photographer-Journalist. In light of her extraordinary work, Nina quickly gains a fan loyal base and notoriety amongst her peers in her budding career.

However, tragedy strikes when The Phenomenon ravages the city and claims the life of her father along with many others. Left vulnerable and grieving, Nina and her mother face further turmoil when bounty hunters arrive, seeking young individuals with supernatural abilities granted by The Phenomenon. It’s in the midst of this chaos that Nina discovers her own powers — the ability to manipulate water and create water constructs.

The situation escalates when the bounty hunters target Nina, intent on capturing her. In a desperate bid to protect her mom, she taps into her newfound abilities and fights back against the intruders. In a whirlwind of rage, Nina overcomes them but witnesses her mother's gruesome murder in the process.

Fleeing into hiding to escape the grasp of those who seek to exploit her, Nina embarks on a journey of survival and self-discovery. It’s during this tumultuous time that Nina is approached by Vector and recruited to join The Renegades’ cause. Driven by a deep-seated desire to avenge her mother, she readily embraces her new role as a member of The Renegades.

Taking on her new identity as Pearl, she tackles each obstacle with resilience and tenacity. Her journey from a vulnerable victim of tragedy to a fierce member of The Renegades highlights her commitment to using her powers to fight G.E.N. Corp’s plan for global dominance, no matter the odds stacked against her.
