Character Overview

About

Peppin is an eighth grader at an all girls K6-12 private school in Sauzieu, Germany. She is known to be part of the school’s baseball team, often seen with a baseball bat on her shoulders, that being the most that’ll make her stand out. Outside of school, Peppin occasionally gets into fights with delinquents causing trouble, leaving the more difficult opponents to the magical girl counterpart that she channels; Carambola.

Personality

Even if she's got a natural glare, Peppin is serious about her studies and helping out others who need it. She likes ro be relied on rather than relying on others, and showing she's capable of a lot of things. She's a stubborn person so she clings to her own morals, but if someone convinces her to go on the wrong path, she'll defend that decision. She has a strong mind and intuition for the most part, and since she's heard differing opinions of what she should think of her family life, she doesn't easily become swayed and would rather see to believe claims. Her family situation surely leaves her down every once a while, torn between wanting to appreciate her father, but also to despise him for not raising her himself. The reason she'd engage in street fights with delinquents was to release the frustration of it, but doing so is pretty unfair to some degree.

Likes: Apple juice!, Future Bass, Baseball, Basilie, Running

Dislikes: Makeup, Bitter food, Bright lights, Absentness, Stronger people

Character Lore

Backstory

Before learning that she had a super-heroine dormant in her, Peppin grew up as a regular human for the majority of her life. While she has no recollection of her childhood before the age of 4, Peppin was born in Antegraaf, Germany, a small coastal town. The scenery she knows best is that of the town she feels she truly grew up in; Sauzieu. Her surroundings consist of tall buildings in some parts, strings of locally owned shops, and the ring of hills encircling her town. She would like to go beyond those hills someday, never having been to the beach, for example. What she wants to experience the most, however, is having a more prominent parent. During the time that she was a newborn, Peppin’s mother died shortly after, her death leaving her father, Joaquin Angert, quite disheveled and despaired. With how difficult it was for him to cope, he wasn’t a very prominent figure in Peppin’s upbringing. He did live with her, pay for her needs and tuitions, but his physical presence was replaced by a nanny of sorts, Hallam. While Joaquin left for work early and returned late, always finding work as a way to busy himself from his problems, Hallam would care for Peppin every morning until the sun set. Because of her father’s absence and the emphasis of nuclear families taught in schools, Peppin had mixed feelings towards life, from thinking that her father must be very busy for her sake to thinking that he simply didn’t care for her. The alienating feeling of not having a caring parent like her peers led her to become a pessimistic individual as she aged, antisocial in class with a bit of a glare, following her father’s unhealthy overworking habit by immersing herself in her schoolwork instead of being social(apart from interactions with her extroverted nanny). She was always a daydreamer nonetheless, having lingering wishes of being close with her father despite any conflicting impressions of him.

When Peppin began attending a different private school meant for k6-12, the atmosphere of the enormous girl’s school made her feel unnoticed. Honestly, she was alright with that; within her classes her peers felt nervous by her resting glare, but overall her presence wasn’t a big deal in her school. She was pretty lonely for someone in an involved school that promoted long lasting bonds. It was when she was running in P.E that an upperclassman noticed her in a positive way; Otthild Pearcy needed her on the baseball team. Hunted down and pestered by the baseball captain, who is someone that’s often uninterested in others, Peppin gave in to Otthild’s persistence and joined the team. Upon joining, she became friends with many people for the first time, though everyone was in a different grade from her... By 8th grade Peppin was looked up to by underclassmen in the baseball team, and she herself looked up to Otthild, who was like an older sister to her. She still had the awkward relationship with her father and had yet to speak to him at all, and as much as she liked her caretaker Hallam, she found comfort outside of her silent home. Taking walks in her neighborhood, she was surprised when she heard rumors of delinquents being around. She would carry a baseball bat, occasionally fending off the troublemakers if she caught them trying to break into other’s homes or making pedestrians uncomfortable. Soon enough, she got used to carrying her bat everywhere, even in the hallways at school, giving her a strange reputation.

During that time as well, Peppin was naturally stressed about her life; graduation was that year, and she wanted her father to attend and see her achievements. She had yet to make any friends in her grade until she met Basilie much later on, so she still felt lonely. The growing stress one day, with wishes to simply disappear, resulted in her channeling Carambola. Carambola used Peppin as a vessel of sorts, her physical appearance and mind switching with Peppin’s, who was suddenly residing in Carambola’s realm during the channeling. Perhaps Peppin thought she was in a strange dream involving a star fruit world, but waking up the next day proved her wrong; random wounds and an apology note for them, news articles of an otherworldly super-heroine, and a talking cat named Dee! Peppin learned she could summon Carambola at will to fight in her place, although any wounds induced on Carambola stayed on Peppin. It was incredibly bizarre, but Peppin figured it was a good thing, despite her disliking Carambola’s flashy nature at first. As a result, Peppin bought a journal to “talk” to Carambola and set up rules for their coexistence, and it was the start of a peculiar duo of crime fighting girls.
