Pepper (Sonic the Comic)

Pepper is a character that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. She is an anthropomorphic simian and one of the Spice Maidens.

Appearance
Pepper is an anthropomorphic simian with brown eyes, black fur, and black curly hair. She wears a red shirt and pants alongside a white scarf and silver earrings.

Past
Captain Plunder met Pepper when she was still a young girl and formed an impression of her as being sweet and innocent. However, she grew up to become a fierce fighter; Zorabel would state that Pepper and her sister frequently caused 'bother', for example, by brawling in taverns like The Pink Parrot in Scourge Bay.

The Akotek Treasure
As part of Zorabel's plan to steal the Akotek Treasure, she insisted that Pepper, along with her sisters, accompanied Captain Plunder. Plunder protested against the idea though, claiming having women on a ship was bad luck. The girls joined Plunder's crew regardless, with their mother coming along.

After arriving at the island where the treasure was, Plunder had the curse of the tomb placed on himself by accident. Pepper and her family then took the treasure back to their ship, unaffected by the curse. They then returned to Scourge Bay.

Trivia

 * Like how the Spice Maidens are a reference to the Spice Girls, a famous English pop girl group from the 1990s, Pepper appears to be loosely modeled after Sporty Spice, Melanie Chisholm's Spice Girls stage persona.
