==Personality==
==Personality==
Brittany may be a bit dishonest and gluttonous, as [[Alph]] suspects that she tends to take slightly more than her share of juice. She is close to her family, as seen in the Fruit Files where she says she misses her family and frequently relates fruit to her Aunt Bea. She also seems to have a liking for all things cute, particularly the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and some of the [[fruit]] she encounters. She appears to dislike Charlie, and appears to like Alph, sometimes calling him "Alphie" in an affectionate way.
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, if not flirty 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]]''.
