'''Brittany''' ({{j|ブリトニー|Buritonī}}) is one of the three [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. She visits [[PNF-404]], along with [[Alph]] and her captain, [[Charlie]] in search of food for the hungry planet of [[Koppai]]. She is a botanist, who is responsible of keeping track of the fruit found on the planet and juices produced by the crew.

==Appearance==
Brittany has a pointed nose, small black eyes, and shoulder-length pink hair. She wears glasses with dark red frames, a bulky space suit with a transparent helmet, whistle, and an antenna. Her gloves and boots are the same shade of pink as her hair, as is the light atop her helmet's antenna. Differentiating her from all other leaders are some feminine touches: her [[spacesuit|suit]] ends in a small skirt highlighted in pink, and a gap in the sole of her boots gives the impression of a modest heel.

In [[Pikmin 3 prerelease information|prerelease versions]], both her spacesuit and antenna-light were colored yellow.

==Personality==
Brittany is, for the most part, a caring and friendly individual. She takes her role as the crew's botanist very seriously, making note of every piece of fruit the crew finds, and also portioning out the helpings of juice delivered at the end of each day. Brittany is a bit of a glutton, humorously noted for retaining the largest portions of juice among her fellow crewmates.
[[Alph]] does suspect that she tends to take slightly more than her share of juice, but Brittany will always shrug it off and insist that she is handing out equal portions, implying she is also fairly dishonest. She also seems to have a liking for all things cute, particularly the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and some of the [[fruit]] she encounters.

Brittany appears to have a mostly friendly relationship with Alph, sometimes calling him "Alphie" in an affectionate way and always preferring to talk with him instead of Charlie. However, she seems to have a disliking for [[Charlie]], noted by insulting his favorite color when mentioning the green color of [[Dawn Pustules]] and suspecting that he was 'hogging all the fruit to himself' before rescuing him in [[Distant Tundra]]. She will also consider giving him portions of juice even smaller than Alph's. Brittany also seems to get lonely and homesick easily, as seen in the Fruit Files, where she says she misses her family and frequently relates fruit to her [[auntie Bea]], who she is particularly fond of.

Knowing that the Pikmin are plants themselves, Brittany has a deep respect and care toward them, lamenting the loss of any Pikmin to large creatures or bosses.

==Biography==
{{spoiler}}
Brittany, [[Alph]] and [[Captain Charlie]], three astronauts from the planet [[Koppai]], were are tasked with saving their home planet after their planet's food supplies become nearly depleted. When data collected reveals that [[PNF-404|a distant planet]] is rich with a variety of fruits whose seeds can be cultivated on Koppai to end the food shortage, the crew of three travel to the planet in the [[S.S. Drake]].

However, their ship malfunctions and they become separated just before landing, with the cosmic-drive key also being lost, which is mandatory for leaving the planet. The three eventually reunite and begin collecting fruit, harvesting their seeds and using their juice for sustenance while on the planet, and eventually meets up with [[Louie]] and later on [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], who they rescue from the [[Plasm Wraith]]. He then gives them their lost cosmic-drive key, allowing them to return to Koppai safely with their findings. She may also have a relative named [[Nelle]] from ''[[Pikmin 4]]''.

:''Brittany: "And I'm starv-"''
:''Alph: "Oh, no! We've been cut off! I wonder how far Brittany is."''
:''Alph: "In any case, I'm glad that she seems to be safe and sound."''
;Alph calls Brittany

:''Alph: "Pick up, Brittany! Pick up! Please be OK!"''
:''Alph: "......"''

:''Brittany: "Why wasn't I moving, you ask? Hee hee, well, you know me. I can sleep anywhere."''
:''Brittany: "But never mind that. Listen, I discovered what looks like a huge piece of fruit! It's over there!"''

:''"What's that you say? They're called Pikmin? They're cute."''
:''"But we don't have time for cuteness right now! Look over there, Alph!"''
:''"Let's work together and nab that huge piece of fruit!"''

:''"OK, let's throw some Pikmin."''
:''"OK!"''
:''"I'll take it from here! Press {{button|wiiu|y|wii|-|wiiu|pcy}}, if you'd be so kind!"''
;Approach [[electric gate]]
:''"Think I'll keep my distance..."''
;Picking up signal
:''"Now, what could this be? The radar's picking something up."''
:''"There's a signal coming from here! Maybe it's a new type of food!"''
:''"Let's go and look right away!"''
;Finds "Go Here!" note
:''"How odd to find such a memo!"''
:''"Come to think of it, the radar did have a "Go Here!" feature."''

:''"Yeah, if I'm remembering right, its inhabitants love treasure and eat only vegetables."''

;Almost sundown
:''"It will soon be sundown."''
:''"According to what Alph said, stray Pikmin face attacks from nocturnal predators."''
:''"It looks like the Pikmin in the area of the nest thing we call an Onion can get back on their own, though.''"
:''"I'd better call back any Pikmin who aren't in my squad."''
;Morning after Brittany's rescue and fruit is recovered
:''Alph: "We've finally discovered edible matter!"''
:''Brittany: "Yes! And after careful analysis, my conclusion is that the fruit juice... is delicious!"''
:''Alph: "I've never tasted anything like it on Koppai!"''
:''Brittany: "There's got to be more where that came from. Let's focus our efforts on finding as much as we can!"''
:''Alph: "But don't forget the cosmic drive key! It's no use finding fruit if we can't get it back to Koppai."''
:''Brittany: "Right! Gathering food and locating the cosmic drive key. That should be more than enough to keep us busy."''
:''Alph: "And, err, don't forget the Captain. We need to rescue him as well!"''
:''Brittany: "The Captain? Oh yeah. He almost slipped my mind."''
:''Brittany: "Well I guess we can pick him up along the way."''
;Regarding the mysterious signal in the Garden of Hope
:''Brittany: "What's that signal coming from over there?"''
:''Alph: "It has to be the Captain! Let's hurry up and rescue him!"''
:''Brittany: "...Good idea. He might be hogging all the fruit to himself."''
;Falls into cave
:''"Ouch ouch ouch! My...face... Alph? Are you OK?"''
:''"Alph? I said, are you OK?"''
:''"Oh, no! Don't tell me we've been separated again!"''
:''"It's so dark in here..."''
;Finds [[Yellow Pikmin]]
:''"There's something here!"''
:''"What are these Pikmin doing?"''
:''"Pikmin sprouts?"''
:''"Is this another Onion? I suppose they need light to live."''
;Near cave exit
:''"I can feel a draft coming in..."''
;Exits cave
:''Brittany: "Phew! It's good to be outside again. I was getting claustrophobic in that cave!"''
:''Brittany: "Hey, there's Alph! And the S.S. Drake is there, too!"''
:''Brittany: "Alph! I'm over here!"''
:''Alph: "Ah, Brittany! Thank goodness you're OK!"''
:''Alph: "I see you're on the other side of the river!"''
:''Alph: "Our first priority is to reunite, so let's work together! Press Y when you want to hand over control!"''
:''Brittany: "Got it!"''
:''Brittany: "This place is absolutely freezing! If we stay too long, I'm afraid we're going to die of exposure."''
:''Brittany: "That is, if we don't die of starvation first."''
:''Alph: "Hey Brittany!"''
:''Alph: "Did you find something interesting over there?"''
:''Brittany: "Yes, actually! A new type of Pikmin!"''
:''Alph: "Really?!"''
:''Brittany: "Yep, they're yellow and have big ears!"''
:''Alph: "Wow! I want to meet them too!"''
:''Brittany: "OK!"''
:''Brittany: "I'll have to find a place where I can throw them across to you."''
;Pikmin's path is abstructed
:''"The Pikmin seem to be having problems carrying their load back. I'd better do something...''"

;Near a warm cave
:''"I can feel a warm breeze coming from within..."''

One of [[Alph]]'s alternate costumes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' has a pink color scheme, reminiscent of Brittany. She also appears as a trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.
