Panini is a bear-cat-rabbit hybrid who is serving an apprenticeship at Ms. Endive’s Tasteful Foods, which is owned and operated by Ms. Endive. While her reasons for doing this are uncertain, she is extremely talented and has learned a lot of information from her master, even reaching the point where she was capable of cooking a dish all on her own. She doesn’t mind Ms. Endive’s strict, disciplinary style of cooking, and she usually does whatever Ms. Endive tells her to do. However, things have started to change as of late.

After meeting Chowder in Marzipan City’s marketplace, she became infatuated and fell deeply in love with him. Unfortunately for her, Chowder isn’t interested in girls and he has declined her advances. None-the-less, Panini hopes that he will one day accept her and she plans to keep flirting with him until he does, though Ms. Endive would much rather have her stay away from him. She believes that relationships are nothing but trouble, due to her own bad experiences, but she’s also noticed that Panini’s performance in the kitchen has been slipping. Panini hasn’t been paying attention to her duties, as she’s been spending too much time daydreaming about Chowder. However, Panini has no plans to let Chowder get away from her.
