Caroline Pierce

Caroline Pearce is a fictional character in the Sweet Valley High book series.

Gossipy Caroline
Caroline is the daughter of Lydia Pearce who lives two doors down from the Wakefield family. She also has a sister named Anita, who is college aged.

For a long time, Caroline was unpopular, and she was merely tolerated by Jessica Wakefield and her crowd because she was great at passing on gossip, mainly from her Princess Telephone in her bedroom, which, as one of the books stated, served as the central switchboard for Sweet Valley High gossip.

Caroline hid her gossipy nature by putting on a prim air, which annoyed everyone to no end, even Elizabeth Wakefield who usually had something nice to say about everyone usually stayed away from Caroline Pearce.

However, it was Elizabeth who helped Caroline become a lot nicer, and not so gossipy. Thanks to Elizabeth's coaching and her support, Caroline gained a nice boyfriend, and discovered that she didn't need to gossip to have people take notice of her.
