Pepper, labeled The Wannabe (formerly BCFF #1), is a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity.
In the first season, she was chosen on to Team Chickenleg. While competing, she was inseparable from her best friend, Salt, even willingly throwing challenges to save Salt whenever she failed them. Her dependent nature led to her elimination in "4Seeing The Future".
In Inanimate Insanity II, Pepper is a supporting character who did not compete, but appeared every so often. She had a major role in "Alternate Reality Show", with her and Salt hosting Inanimate Insanity Infinity in an alternate timeline.
She appears again in Inanimate Insanity IV.
She is currently voiced by Emily Pitcher.

Personality[]
Pepper is a lot like her BCFF, Salt, in that they're both vapid and unintelligent people. They have similar manners of speaking and are generally happy just to be together, whether they're lounging around or causing trouble for others. They are both egocentric, stubborn people, but they ultimately adore one another, as shown when they fawn over each other at the end of The Paper Cut.
Pepper prioritizes Salt above all else, and tries to be as similar to her as possible by following her lead. She is at times possessive towards her closest friend, as shown when she tells Salt she can't find love with someone who isn't her in The Penultimate Poll. This dysfunction goes both ways, as Salt often fails to consider how her closest friend feels in her own pursuit of happiness - like when she replaced Pepper with OJ after Pepper's elimination.
This is just one expression of the fact that Pepper and Salt have less in common than one might think. Pepper is more pronouncedly vindictive than Salt. She is openly spiteful towards OJ, threatening to spill him and being happy at his misfortunes. In addition, Pepper was more interested in the game than Salt, as she often asked about challenges (though she followed Salt's lead, even in cases where Salt didn't care about the challenge).
In the Infinity timeline (and other timelines), Pepper differs from her ordinary self. In Alternate Reality Show, she is power-hungry; however, the dysfunction in their relationship has grown more toxic, and has world-changing consequences. In the Cinnamonfinity timeline featured in Fan's Fantastic Features, she is in a similar position of power.
Official Site Bio[]
| “ |
Pepper's personality is almost identical to Salt. While Pepper is more caring in their relationship, Salt cares more for herself than Pepper, and actually replaces her when she is eliminated. She appears to care about doing challenges, as she asks about them frequently, unless they conflict with maintaining her relationship with Salt. Pepper overall has a nice ditzy girl personality, saying things like "OMG" and "like" between sentences. |

Trivia[]
Competition[]
- Pepper is the lowest ranking contestant to not compete in Season 2.
- She is also the lowest ranking female contestant in Season 1.
- Of all the contestants in the show, Pepper has currently gone the longest without competing (excluding the S1 remaster). She was eliminated in 4Seeing The Future, and hasn’t competed since.
- They are also the only Season 1 contestants to never make it past the merge.
General[]
- Running Gag: She and Salt say "Like" multiple times every episode they're featured in.
- This makes them similar to Match from BFDI.
- Salt and Pepper are both spin-offs of Katie and Sadie from the Total Drama Series.
- Pepper can be mostly related to Katie, as she was the first of the two to be eliminated.
- Pepper calling Salt as "Salty-Salt" may be based on Match from BFDI calling Pencil "Pence-Pence."
- Pepper has had six different voice actors over the course of the series; the most of any contestant.
- It would be seven, if you count the Spanish actor Annie Rojas for her.
- Pepper was originally going to be killed in the season one finale, but the idea was scrapped for unknown reasons. In the end, MePhone5, MePhone4, and Bow were killed.
- However, if this idea was never scrapped and Pepper had died, Bow possibly would have joined Season 2
- In "Alternate Reality Show", she and Salt are shown to have kabourophobia when Paintbrush went into the rejection portal alongside with Baxter.
- This may be due to Test Tube throwing Baxter into the water below the Crappy Cliff while Salt and Pepper were in the water claiming he's "highly radioactive."
- Pepper had the least votes in the Favorite Contestant Voting.[citation needed]
- Similarly, Salt has the second least amount of votes, Salt also got the least votes in the 2024 Plush Poll.
