===St. John's Dairy Farm===
Very little is known about Brenda before the outbreak except that she owns the St. John's Dairy Farm somewhere near or in Macon, Georgia. She grew up in Macon or the Macon area where she was taught not to waste resources and how to "survive" both physically and metaphorically. She has two sons, Andrew and Danny and a likely deceased husband, Terry.
==Post-Apocalypse==
===Season 2: Starved For Help===
===="Chapter 14"====
Brenda is first seen looking out the window in her house on the St. John dairy. She exits the house to greet Lee and his group. She introduces herself and welcomes them to the dairy. Brenda asks them about their location and how safe they are there, and she gives them some bread, since they haven't eaten in so long. When Mark tells Brenda that they have a vet in their group, who can care for her sick cow, she is excited to hear it, saying her prayers have been answered. Brenda tells Lee and the group if she brings Katjaa to the farm, she'll prepare them a big feast for them.
===="Chapter 15"====
They run for the farmhouse, and the bandits back off. They run into Andy and Danny in front of the house, and Sandy begins to berate Andy for turning the fence on. Andy apologizes and says he thought he heard them give the "all clear" to turn it on. Brenda comes outside to check on Mark and his shoulder. The motel group arrives and sees the mess, and Lilly believes the farm is unsafe. Andrew states that the bandits and St. John's had a deal and that as long as they provided food, the bandits would leave the farm alone. He says that the bandits have broken the truce and that Lee and Danny should try and find where the bandits are sleeping. Brenda tells Mark to come inside the house so she could help patch him up, and Katjaa goes with her to help out.
===="Chapter 16"====
Back at the farm, Lilly is talking with Kenny about how dangerous the farm is and wants to leave as soon as Lee gets back. Kenny argues with her that they have food, and the fence to protect them, and wants Katjaa and Duck to have an easier life there. Larry interrupts him, saying that the group will decide on leaving anyway. To get away from the pair, Kenny goes into the barn to explore, when he sees Andy coming out from the door across the barn. Kenny asks him what was in there, and Andy tries to change the subject by averting his attention to Clementine who is on the swing outside. Inside the house, Mark is being tended to by Brenda and Katjaa. Brenda talks with Katjaa about the medicine they've stored up over the past few months, but she can only do so much with it and thanks Katjaa for her expertise. Mark thanks Katjaa and tells her that she should go take a look at the cow in the barn. Sandy looks around the barn and notices some bloody clothes in a wastebasket. She goes up to Kenny, who is watching Clementine and Duck playing with the swing, and tells him of what she found. Kenny then tells her about the door and what he saw and wonders if she was right about something being odd about the place. Sandy tells Kenny that they need to let Lee know once he gets back and try to find a way to look in there.
===="Chapter 17"====
Once arriving back at the dairy, Brenda asks Danny and Lee how it went, and Danny tells her nothing important happened. Lee looks at him in suspicion. Lee goes outside to look for a way to distract him, and notices Larry talking with Brenda by the house. Lee finds a multi-tool on the bench and decides to use it on the generator to distract Andrew, however, Brenda calls Lee and asks him if he could come inside and help her with finishing up dinner. Lee looks over at Sandy and Kenny, who watch from the barn, and tells Brenda that he'll be right there.
===="Chapter 18"====
Upon arriving inside the house, Sandy looks at a barricaded wall and Andrew exclaims that a lone walker got into the house awhile ago and that the hallway is barricaded from that incident. Everyone gathers around the table for dinner. Noticing Mark is absent from the table, Sandy asks Brenda where he's at, and she tells her that he's upstairs eating his meal. Lee looks over at Sandy, who gives him an uneasy look and then looks back towards the stairs, believing something is wrong. With everybody at the dinner table waiting, Lee asks where the bathroom is. Brenda exclaims that it is down the hall. As Lee leaves the dining room, Sandy notices a gun tucked in Andrew's pocket. Lilly compliments Brenda on the dinner and says it looks good. Duck wants to start eating, but Katjaa tells him that it's polite to wait for everyone to be at the table. Kenny says that if Lee takes too long in the bathroom, they could just go ahead and nibble a little. Sandy sits down and looks at the meat on the table, before turning around to see Lee about to sneak up the stairs. Lee goes upstairs and finds many unusual items, such as a bottle of morphine and bloodstains on the floor in the closet. He turns on a power switch while inside the closet, which lights up a room connected to the bedroom. Lee enters the bedroom and sees that Mark is nowhere to be found, and sees a light shining out from below the bookcase. He moves it and sees a door behind it, and opens it. To his shock, he finds Mark with his legs cut off and blood on his entire body. Lee asks Mark what happened and Mark weakly replies that the brothers skinned his legs and that is what they are having for dinner. "Lee, did you fall in? Dinners on the table and everyone is havin' at it!" Brenda yells out. Lee rushes down into the dining room and sees everybody about to eat. Lee yells at Clementine to not take a single bite, much to the confusion of the others. Lee tells them that the farm is a human slaughterhouse and that Mark is upstairs, legless. Larry argues with Lee to sit down, claiming that he's being rude. Everyone begins to act uneasy, while Danny claims that everything could have turned out well for everyone. Not denying it, Brenda claims that while growing up in rural Georgia, they were taught to not waste a thing. Andrew exclaims that Mark would have died anyway, and they only go after people who were going to end up dead. "Like y'all." Danny says. Lee tells Sandy to grab her a knife, but Andrew and Danny pull their guns out and order Sandy to put down the knife. Through the confusion, Andrew grabs Clementine by her hair to taunt Lee. At this moment, Mark falls down the stairs and crawls all the way to the dinner table, begging for help. Danny then hits Lee with the butt of his rifle, causing him to blackout. Lilly and Kenny threaten all of the St. Johns for what they've done, and they order them to go outside. Brenda says she'll stay in the house for now and watch Lee in case he wakes up. Sandy attempts to fight back, but Andrew punches her in the face and tells her if she makes another move he'll shoot her. As Andrew and Danny escort everyone out of the house, Andrew stops Katjaa and tells Brenda to keep her in the house as well as Duck. Kenny lashes out and attempts to get to his family, but Danny fires a warning shot by Kenny's feet and tells him to keep moving.
===="Chapter 20"====
He then enters the house and finds Brenda holding Katjaa hostage. He asks her questions, why it came to eating other human beings to survive, what would her husband think, and she backs up pleading him to stop reminding her while holding the gun to Katjaa's head. Lee keeps walking slowly to her, seeing Mark, now a walker, upstairs, struggling with the railing. Brenda ends up walking back into Mark's outstretched arms, in which he pulls her towards him and takes a bite out of her shoulder.
