Pearl Russell was a witch descended from Melinda Warren. She was born as a good magical witch and possessed the power of pyrokinesis. She is the daughter of Agnes and Gordon Russell. Later on, she became known for her talents in potion-making and divination. However, Russell was seduced down a dark path by Anton, a warlock, and was subsequently killed and cursed during a misguided fight.
Death of Pearl Russell
Russell wasn't invited to Baxter's party but she came anyway and wanted to join the party. Anton gave Pearl a power-tripling potion, which would transform her power of pyrokinesis into fire-throwing, and told her to confront her cousins. She was, initially, resistant, but he managed to persuade her. He also gave her his Protection Amulet to protect her from their powers. As part of the plan, Anton shapeshifted into Priscilla’s ex-boyfriend and lured her away so Pearl could take Phoebe upstairs and kill her. However, Priscilla managed to escape Anton while Pearl and Phoebe fought downstairs instead, scaring away the customers. The amulet protected Pearl from Phoebe’s cryokinesis, but Phoebe wasn't done yet. She flashed her camera and did a jump kick, knocking Pearl onto the floor anyway. Priscilla then came in from the other room and began to strangle her with a curtain rope. Pearl was killed and cursed by her cousins. It is unknown what happened to her body.
