staff at the institute
Tony Stark // Iron Man (bootjets)
Tony. Where do we begin with Tony? He's Pepper's employer and also probably her closest and oldest friend. Of all the people she knows, she trusts him the most and for all her nagging and worrying, she always believes in him. She would put her life on the line for him, just as she knows he would for her. Also Tony made her the Rescue suit. And that's pretty damn cool, has she to admit.
Dug (irondug)
The most adorable, precious dog, rescued from a burning building about a year ago by Tony. When no one came forth to claim him, Tony and Pepper thus adopted him. Secretly Pepper was absolutely delighted about this, because Dug's initially temporary presence at the house had grown on her very quickly, and she'd become very fond of him.
Aimery de Courfeyrac (le_centre)
Courfeyrac is probably the best friend that Pepper's made at the institute, an endlessly charming and lovely young man. They have brilliant banter and There's also the small matter of the fact that Courfeyrac pretty much helped save her life after she was crushed by part of a conference hall sometime back, and she's rather heavily indebted to him for that.
Lara Raith (truewhitequeen)
One of Pepper's friends at the institute, someone who she finds very charming and is good company, and Pepper's still very grateful for Lara sneaking her laptop to her in the infirmary. Is perfectly oblivious to Lara's involvement with the Brotherhood and thinks of her as a good person and friend.
Olivier Enjolras (righteousapollo)
Enjolras is a mildly confusing individual, in that Pepper finds him a brilliant and interesting person, and is sort of in awe at his being so politically aware and passionate, but she doesn't really understand him nonetheless. He also helped Courfeyrac with the business of saving her life, for which she is terribly thankful,
Ororo Munroe // Storm (stopitstorm)
A colleauge of Pepper's at the school, and a lovely woman. Pepper really enjoys talking to her and finds her relaxing company. Pepper seems to have made a habit of making friends with a surprising number of men at the school, so a girlfriend with whom she can have lunch is a nice change :')
Jack Sheppard (fairerthandeath)
A nice guy - has quite interesting banter with Pepper involving pompoms, but at least it was pretty funny.
students at the institute
Billy Kaplan (likeshiscape)
A sweet boy that Pepper sort of befriended through a mutual interest in dragons - plus Billy is Iskierka's captain. He's a refreshing, smart kid to talk to, and she thinks he's really pretty adorable.
