Peppermint's Story
Peppermint is one of the loudest and most vibrant characters. He has a quirky personality, and nothing is timid about them: sharp aroma, witty mind, bright, colorful attires, statement jewelry pieces- you name it, he got it. Anything that screams “bold” and “over-the-top”? Peppermint is probably working to get it, or already has it.
Peppermint is well aware of the effect he has on people: most love him, yet some find him too overbearing (we suspect it’s because these people can’t handle the fresh kick peppermint brings). But that won’t ever bother his fearless spirit.
Peppermint has a sharp mind and thrives where focus and energy are needed. Quick to adapt, he can switch from serious business to playful banter in a heartbeat. His greatest gift? Teaching how to stay clear, cool, and collected under stress. Need a pick-me-up or for someone to push you to get a job done? Peppermint has your back.
