At the end of the title sequence, Pepper Ann always finds something different under her desk (for the first four episodes of the series, it was always "five bucks", but starting with "Megablades of Grass", the item would vary, e.g. a mood ring, Mardi Gras beads, a French poodle, a singing Dieter doll and a gold tooth.

Personality
Pepper Ann is quirky, unique, great visual thinker easily distracted and a kind friend. Pepper Ann can be cynical at times, makes sarcastic comments, and is unpredictable. She is hyperactive, not all that great at social skills (though she tries) and interesting.

Trivia

 * Pepper Ann and her mother Lydia made a brief cameo near the end of the House of Mouse pilot episode "The Stolen Cartoons", when Tantor throws Pete out of the building, causing Lydia to warn Pepper Ann, "Don't touch the villain, dear." Notably, Pepper Ann and her mother are the only two characters created for a Disney TV cartoon to ever appear in that show, aside from Ludwig von Drake.


 * There was an ongoing debate among Pepper Ann fans about what Pepper Ann's supposed "real" first name is. When the show still had its own website, there was a character chat with someone role-playing as Pepper Ann. Someone asked about her nickname and the role-player replied that Pepper Ann's "real" name was Jennifer, but there were so many Jennifers in her first grade class already that the teacher offered a reward of free ice cream to the Jennifer that came up with a unique nickname for herself.
 * However, there is a flashback in the episode "Cold Feet" where Pepper Ann is a baby and Sherrie Spleen refers to her as Pepper Ann.
 * It's never stated in any episode what Pepper Ann's "real" name is, and it is unknown if she even has one other than "Pepper Ann".
