Alter Ego is a supporting character of the animated series Pepper Ann. She is the conscience of Pepper Ann Pearson, often taking the form of her reflection.
Background[]
On the show, whenever Pepper Ann is facing a moral dilemma or a tough situation, her conscience comes to life in her eyes and chats with her about the issue. She usually appears as a reflection such as in her bathroom mirror, a puddle, windowpanes, etc. Sometimes her alter ego will appear in more physical forms such as a photo, a cloud, a crossword puzzle, a plate of spaghetti and, at one point, clay mold. Sometimes Pepper Ann's actions will physically affect her reflection. When Pepper Ann started to get a "big head" over being a soccer champion, her reflection literally started getting a big head. Only Pepper Ann can hear Alter Ego's advice, which can lead to an awkward sight for onlookers.
Personality[]
Described by Pepper Ann as "her biggest fan, and her harshest critic", her alter ego has a habit of usually leaning towards the moral opposite of what Pepper Ann is thinking. If Pepper Ann is doing the wrong thing, her alter ego will try to steer her in the right direction, but sometimes if she is considering doing the right thing, her alter ego will urge her to give in to her selfish desires. Because of this, the reflection acts more as the personification of Pepper Ann second guessing herself.
