Bell Pepper Cookie

Bell Pepper Cookie (파프리카 맛 쿠키 Paprika Flavor Cookie) is a Cookie that first appeared in Cookie Run: OvenBreak. He was released during the Super Cookiebots update, followed by a later buff to Dr. Wasabi Cookie and Aloe Cookie's release. He has yet to make an appearance in any of the other games in the series. He is a young scientist Cookie likely made partially as a nod to Children's Day, a holiday centered around celebrating children. He owns a robot he built himself named PepperBot, and his Pet, P3P-PO, which was his first ever "masterpiece," a robot that helps him with various tiny tasks and also accompanies him when he is sad.

He wears an orange sweater coupled with green shorts, green and white socks, and red shoes. He has a small red bowtie on his neck and a red pepper-like backpack with a green handle on his back which can convert into his robot. Large red glasses adorn his green eyes and slightly go over his yellow, pepper-like hair as well. A green pepper stem can also be seen popping out of the top of his head.

His skill has two parts to it, initially causing him to collect batteries that pop up while running, which then takes him into the second phase of his skill. In this phase, he gets into his PepperBot, allowing him to fly around and attack enemy drones flying through the sky towards him. After this, he will launch a burst of missiles before falling back to the ground.

Cosmetics
Bell Pepper Cookie currently has zero additional cosmetics.

Personality
Bell Pepper Cookie is a stereotypical young nerd; lonely, focused on his studies, and very eager to try to show up others to demonstrate his intelligence. Though smart, he is lacking in social skills, which can land him in awkward situations and misunderstandings, as well as splitting him apart socially from the other young Cookies. Through the story of Super Cookiebots!, he is shown to grow and try to start making real friends.

Story and Event Involvement
Bell Pepper Cookie appears in Super Cookiebots! story, where he initially is shown at Aloe Cookie's laboratory with a bunch of other children on a field trip. While the other children are impressed by how cool Aloe Cookie's designs are, Bell Pepper Cookie spitefully states that he can make something cooler, starting to ramble about his inventions before realizing that everyone else has walked off to look at more of Aloe Cookie's lab. Pancake Cookie points out a sign that says "Do Not Enter" on it and tries to convince the others to sneak in. Bell Pepper Cookie points out that it might be dangerous, then starts to boast about how he could make it less dangerous just by being nearby. Once again, the other children wander off without him. On his own, Bell Pepper Cookie decides that he has to show up Aloe Cookie now, claiming that he can make something better than Ion Cookie Robot. He decides to explore the lab on his own.

Wandering through the darkness, he stumbles upon Aloe Cookie in her secret lab, looking at Cyborg Cookie in a large tube. Aloe Cookie says ominous things to Cyborg Cookie, causing Bell Pepper Cookie to panic, thinking that she must want to make all Cookies into robots. He realizes he has to stop her, and as a bonus, everyone will think he's cool if he does.

On his own, he comes back to the lab, prepared to sneak in. After getting over the wall with the help of his PepperBot, he immediately gets caught by Ion Cookie Robot. Ion Cookie Robot initially recognizes him as an intruder, but upon realizing he is a familiar Cookie friend, a bunch of the Ion Cookie Robots gather around Bell Pepper Cookie, trying to play with him and entertain him. Bell Pepper Cookie tries to get P3P-PO to help him out, which Ion Cookie Robot immediately picks up to play with as a "new robot friend." Bell Pepper Cookie gets away temporarily-before immediately running into Cyborg Cookie.

Bell Pepper Cookie calls Cyborg Cookie an "evil robot," which Cyborg Cookie takes offense to. The two debate back and forth over whether Cyborg Cookie is either a robot or a Cookie, before Cyborg Cookie gets more annoyed and states that Bell Pepper Cookie has got to leave. The two start to fight, and Cyborg Cookie ends up pulling a hand off of PepperBot. After desperately trying and failing to put it back in the socket, Cyborg Cookie flies off to Aloe Cookie to get help.

Aloe Cookie, of course, already knew Bell Pepper Cookie was in the lab, having been spying on him the entire time. She offers to repair the robot, ignoring Bell Pepper Cookie's rambling about her trying to take over the world. After a bit, Bell Pepper Cookie calms down, realizing that Aloe Cookie really is just innocently doing her job and is repairing PepperBot. With some polite discussion, the two manage to respectfully compliment each other, with Aloe Cookie clearly babying Bell Pepper Cookie.

Cyborg Cookie then makes the mistake of mentioning trying to clean up the mess, which sets off Bell Pepper Cookie again. After even more confusion caused by Cyborg Cookie's poor communication skills, Aloe Cookie explains that what Bell Pepper Cookie overheard was simply her expressing joy over finishing Cyborg Cookie's repairs, then explains that Cyborg Cookie was grievously injured in the past and had to be given a new body.

Bell Pepper Cookie is initially baffled that Aloe Cookie would sacrifice so much just to help Cyborg Cookie, even to the point of throwing away what she originally studied. After further explanation, he apologizes for being so hasty with his words, and apologizes for calling Cyborg Cookie an evil robot. Aloe Cookie offers to give him a tour of the rest of the lab, then takes him home while encouraging him to open up to his friends.

The next day, Bell Pepper Cookie is in the playground, debating whether he should talk to the other Cookies. After a bit, he tries to say hello, then tells everyone what happened the previous night. Everyone clamors around him, and Bell Pepper Cookie is surprised to be having fun with other Cookies for once. He realizes the other children have always wanted to be friends with him, and it's not that they didn't care, he just wasn't opening up. He offers to show them some of his robots that he made, and the others excitedly say they want to. He offers them a ride on PepperBot, and heads home with them.

Bell Pepper Cookie is also included in a Bake My Day episode, though his appearance is simply showing him at the field trip that occurs in Super Cookiebots!.

Dr. Wasabi Cookie
Bell Pepper Cookie sees Dr. Wasabi Cookie as a scientific rival. Naturally, Dr. Wasabi Cookie just "jokes" about improving his robot with her Wasabi Syrup.

Ion Cookie Robot
Bell Pepper Cookie is fairly conflicted towards Ion Cookie Robot, because, while he respects it as a creation, he thinks he could do much better with it, leading to him simply insulting it every time he sees it.

Cyborg Cookie
Bell Pepper Cookie and Cyborg Cookie frequently cause issue for each other during Super Cookiebots! due to Cyborg Cookie's inability to communicate properly with a little kid like Bell Pepper Cookie, leaving Bell Pepper Cookie to get more confused and worked up about thinking that Aloe Cookie is an evil scientist.

Chestnut Cookie
Chestnut Cookie is one of the other children that Bell Pepper Cookie knows. Bell Pepper is willing to answer any of his questions about robots, claiming to be very smart.

Pudding Cookie
Pudding Cookie is one of the other children that Bell Pepper Cookie knows. Pudding Cookie asks him if he can make quadruplet bots (probably to be similar to Pudding Cookie), to which Bell Pepper Cookie states that even if they look similar, they would be quite different.

Firecracker Cookie
Firecracker Cookie is one of the other children that Bell Pepper Cookie knows. Firecracker Cookie invites him to a party, and while Bell Pepper Cookie claims that parties are boring, he awkwardly says that it's rude to say no and ends up going anyway.

Aloe Cookie
Much like Dr. Wasabi Cookie, Bell Pepper Cookie finds Aloe Cookie to be another rival of science, wanting to become even better than her. However, he does respect her after the events of Super Cookiebots!, wherein he realizes that she is not at all an evil person and that she's just a kind person who cares deeply for her friends. In return, Aloe Cookie treats him respectfully, clearly trying to up his confidence as a young creator.

Reception
Bell Pepper Cookie was met with an overall lukewarm response, with not too much negativity and not too much positivity. This is likely because he was overshadowed by Aloe Cookie being released later on in the same update, which many more people wanted due to having waited for her release for several years.
