Meet Pepper Minzt.

Pepper grew up with her single father till the age of ten, when unfortunately he caught an unknown sickness and passed away. Refusing to see her mother, Pepper fled to Willow Creek. She played pranks on the locals to entertain herself, and stole food from the dumpsters.

Now, at age 18, Pepper is determined to make a life for herself. Though she cannot abandon her old mischievous ways, she still plans to become a scientist.

Come along as we journey through Pepper Minzt life!

These lovely flowers belong to the common BlackBerry ‘Rubus alletheniensis’.

Side note about the word 'berry’. To be a berry (botanically speaking) each fruit of the plant must be produced by a single flower and it must have internal seeds.

Berries: Bananas, blueberries, grapes, cucumbers, avacado, tomato (a fruit, fight me about it), etc.
