Pearl is bonded to you. She was protecting you. As babies mature they learn to express their wants and needs. They only have two ways of telling us they are unhappy. Either to bite or fly away. She wanted to stay where she was so she chose biting.
I would play some "Pass the birdie games". With 1-3 people stand close to each other and have a yummy treat in your hands. Ask her to step up, show her the treat. When she successfully steps up feed and praise. Do this back and forth several times a day. With time she will learn it is safe and fun to step up for others and she gets nommies too!
