She seems to actually like [[Charlie Brown]], although she gets frustrated with him and tries to get him to do things he is not really willing to do.

Although she excels in athletics (particularly her favorite sport, [[baseball]]), Peppermint Patty has a tendency to be weak in academics, to often be clueless and misunderstand basic ideas and concepts known by nearly everyone around her and to ignore any advice telling her otherwise, which lead to embarrassing situations for her which she [[liberal excuses|refuses to take responsibility for and for which she blames those who tried to tell her the truth]] (reflecting examples of [[deliberate ignorance]], [[denial]] and [[liberal stupidity|stupidity]], all liberal traits). It is this cluelessness which has often caused her to get low grades in school (most often a D-, considered either a borderline pass or a fail in the American public education system, depending on the school). |
