Pearl's Character
Pearl is young and innocent, often played by teenagers (notably 16 year old Maria Jane Hyde, but has a dramatic change in character during the show. She lets down two of her closest friends—Rusty, when she breaks her promise to race with him, and later Dinah, when she steals Greaseball. In the mocking "Laughing stock", she stands by and does nothing as Greaseball and Electra (and their respective entourages) taunt Rusty. She starts to see the error of her ways when Greaseball uncouples her during the final, leaving her to be rescued by Rusty. She then realises who her real friends are.

“When needs and means become abstract in quality, abstraction is also a character of the reciprocal relation of individuals to one another. This abstract character, universality, is the character of being recognized and is the moment which makes concrete, i.e. social, the isolated and abstract needs and their ways and means of satisfaction.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
