Pepper and her loyal friends were set in Hazelnut Middle School where they interacted with a large collection of characters including airhead Cissy, twins Tessa and Vanessa, and German born Dieter. Pepper was also often pitted against several people including Wayne, a rude and sexist student; and Alice, a girl who would often mock and compete against Pepper. However her main adversary was Principal Hickey, a strict enforcer of rules who would never tolerate Pepper’s antics.
