Description
Imprisoned as a child in a Berühren facility alongside other children, including her sister Karen, Pepper forged a bond with a spider named Seven, her sole companion. Facing disposal due to incompatibility with standard cybernetics, she was instead selected for experimental Hands unit compatibility. Overseen by Hugh Cunningham, she underwent a risky procedure replacing her right forearm with the specialized "Hands" Extension—a large mechanical hand featuring a revolver cylinder forearm, uniquely interfacing with Gun Slave Unit control programs. Her first encounter with the unstable GSU-07 involved him attacking her; she responded with fierce determination, kissing him and declaring herself his owner, symbolically crushing her pet spider to cement her new identity tied to Seven.
Operating as Seven's handler under Berühren directives, Pepper utilized a harmony device to remotely control Hayden Gondry for assassinations, expressing annoyance at disruptions caused by Juzo Inui and Kronen von Wolf. Later ordered to eliminate Mega-Armed Tokisada, she deployed Seven to destroy a transport bus carrying the target. Hugh Cunningham criticized the mission as sloppy and revealed the harmony device was a replica, sparking her interest in the original technology.
Personal motivations emerged when Pepper developed an attraction to Juzo, finding his "dated look" romantic. She confronted him at his office, demanding the location of his owner so she could defeat them and claim him. Activating Seven's combat program against Juzo, she saw Tetsuro Arahabaki intervene by seizing control of Seven. Recognizing Tetsuro's significance, Pepper retreated after licking Juzo's face—a gesture of defiance and fascination.
A pivotal shift occurred during a rooftop confrontation where a vigilante tried to kill Pepper for her role in a terrorist attack. Juzo intervened, saving her. In their conversation, she learned Seven sacrificed himself using the "Devil's Backbone" system to protect her, instructing Juzo to ensure her safety before Berühren operatives Mathilda and Imelda extracted him. This loss devastated Pepper, leading her to reject Berühren's ideology. Hospitalized and stripped of her Hands unit, she cooperated with Juzo and Reconstruction Agency director Olivier Vandeberme, disclosing Berühren secrets including the clandestine "Wurzel" leadership. She honored Seven's memory by revealing the location of Juzo's former partner, facilitating a crucial lead against Berühren.
Pepper's primary ability stemmed from her Hands Extension, enabling her to unlock the full combat potential of Gun Slave Units by activating embedded triggers. She wielded a large cleaver for self-defense when separated from Seven. Her psychological resilience allowed her to tame the previously uncontrollable Seven by embracing his violent nature and asserting dominance through affection and threats. She maintained that Gun Slave Units retained autonomy despite being tools, a perspective solidified by Seven's choice to protect her at his own expense.
