White Pearl is an avatar for White Diamond.
The way she doesn’t walk. The way she only appeared to do White’s bidding. The way she’s—for lack of a better word—T-posing. The way she can phase through walls like a hologram.
The way she’s voiced by the same actress as White Diamond.
Furthermore, if White Diamond is blind, her pearl might be an avatar to “see” through.

Some of you might be aware that this extraordinarly beautiful fusion is, quite obviously, visually based on Revolutionary Girl Utena. Specifically, our two main leads, Anthy and Utena.
This is incredibly interesting for two reasons. One, Rebecca Sugar has stated that Revolutionary Girl Utena was a huge influence on her. To the point where Pearl draws heavy inspiration from the title character Utena.
So the fact that her fusion with Pink Pearl resembles Anthy and Utena, draws a connection between Pink and Anthy. And, when you look at both Pearl and Pink, you can see the connection!
