Like the original Powerpuff Girls (PPG), Mercy, Diane and Esther possess the super strength to stick together and their outfits seem to be indestructible (well, with Mercy in the picture, you can agree). Little wonder why they are often referred to as the Powerpuff girls by their fellow Housemates. Well, unlike the original PPG, these three humans have necks, ears, fingers, toes and noses.
Blossom
Although not the self-proclaimed leader of the group, Mercy’s evident personality ingredient is “everything nice” and her signature colour is… everything! We can all agree that Blossom’s ability to combine her pink outfit with her signature red bow, can be likened to Mercy’s super strength of combining beautiful outfit pieces.
Just like Blossom, Mercy is often seen as the most level-headed and the one who speaks freely and honestly to not only her resident sisters but to the other members of the Pepper Dem Gang.
Even when she was angry at Diane for not Saving Ike when she had the opportunity to, Mercy rode on the waves of friendship and forgave her friend. Talk about friendship goals!
Bubbles
Considered as the sweetest and softest of the three, Diane is also capable of fighting the Pepper Dem villains just as well as her sisters.
The original Bubbles often acts as the mediator in many situations and has evidently been the one to calm her friends down when in such situations. Citing the time when Esther was angry about her team’s Wager loss and broke down in tears, Diane spent some time trying to cheer up her spirits.
How can we forget this, like Bubbles, Diane is tiny with enormous blue eyes.
Buttercup
The original Buttercup was known at school for being the most athletic girl and especially good at soccer due to her strengthened determination. Likewise, Esther’s proven drive and determination to always succeed in Tasks undoubtedly make her a good fit for this character.
Her superpowers – strength, exception, energy blast and super speed all make her the Buttercup of the resident Powerpuff Girls and this has been displayed in the way she handles her friendship with them.
When Elozonam Saved Venita instead of Diane as the other Housemates predicted, Esther was quick to call Diane aside and give her bits of advice regarding the ‘betraying’ move. Also, she took the same energy and told Elozonam how she felt about his action.
In addition, similar to the original Buttercup, Esther takes things more seriously than her resident sisters and spends more time frowning than the other two. See why we call her Buttercup? Oh well, this strength has earned her the title of the only female Head of House to sit on the throne twice. Go Buttercup!
Let's have fun. Which of the Pepper Dem Powerpuff girls are you? Before you answer, take your time to answer the following questions:
- Pick a fight move - If you’re at the party with your friend and someone is taking a picture of your tipsy friend, would you: A. Take the phone and smash it B. Frown at the person to express your disapproval C. Calmly ask for the phone
- Choose a special power A. Ability to breathe fire and ice B. Super strength C. Ability to read minds
- Choose a flavour – Your favourite food flavour is: A. Spicy B. Savory C. Sweet
If your answers are leaning towards option A, you’re most likely Mercy a.k.a Blossom: You’re a loyal friend and you constantly make the effort to show how much you value your friendship.
If you mostly chose B option, you’re most likely Esther a.k.a Buttercup: You plan to make your friendship last a lifetime and you should start looking at joint retirement packages now
For option C pickers, you’re most likely Diane a.k.a Bubbles: You’ve really clicked with your friend and maybe you need to practice being more vulnerable in the relationship to show that you really care.
…and once again, spicy friendship is served in the Pepper Dem House, thanks to… The Powerpuff Girls.
