**Brainy Barker** (better known as **Brainy**) is a major character from the *Enchanted Pup* franchise. She's the head of the super-powered Dog Stars and just like her teammates, she has superhuman powers. She's able to read the minds of others, as well as control things with her mind and is capable of levitating herself and others.

## Background

Brainy lived on a planet where aliens could perform telepathy, the ability to manipulate objects and/or people with their minds. Before the Enchanted Pup's arrival, Telepaths were the most powerful aliens in the entire universe. Brainy was the one who created the Dog Stars spaceship because after a robbery on her planet, she made it her lifelong mission to roam around the galaxy and fight intergalactic criminals. During her years of roaming around in space, she grew lonely and realized that if she wanted to bring criminals to justice, she needed a team. She spent the following years traveling to random planets and recruiting dogs with fantastical abilities, dogs with powers capable of going against the evil Mechanikat.

### Development

Brainy Barker is based off Brainy Barker from *Krypto the Superdog.* Prancer Elkwood wanted to include her and the members of the Dog Stars. Also, along with the members, Brainy's family and backstory will be further explained in the upcoming episodes of the cartoon series. She'll be seen walking on two legs, just like the other Dog Star members.

### Personality

By her appearance, nature and tone of voice, Brainy is elegant and soft-spoken. As the leader of the Dog Stars, Brainy is strong and has a stern demeanor when dealing with their occasional childish and immature behavior. When angered or annoyed with someone or something, Brainy uses her powers. She only uses them when she feels threatened or if somebody feels threatened. Brainy doesn't sympathize with those who are cruel and disrespectful towards those who are innocent and helpless. Brainy was later revealed to be a kind, compassionate, caring and supportive dog who loves to train and motivate others to chase their dreams.

Brainy was very fond of Hansel when he entered the Dog Stars ship, mostly because of his reputation for saving his home planet and possibly the universe from an army of powerful demons. She immediately gave Hansel, her respect and helped him with retrieving his invention and defeating Mechanikat. When Hansel begins to bark orders at the Dog Stars, Brainy doesn't seem to mind Hansel doing her job, she does however doesn't like it when her teammates disrespect or question Hansel. She seems to pose as a motherly guide to him.

Brainy is somewhat shy as she appears to be mostly quiet whenever she's seen by the other characters. Probably due to the fact, that she's an introvert and that she spend a quiet life with the Telepaths.

### Physical appearance

Brainy is a slender Afghan Hound with dark purple fur and light purple hair. She wears a white cape and yellow collar that has her initials on them.

## Appearances

### The Enchanted Pup: The Series

#### The Enchanted Pup meets Krypto

Before the events of the episode, Brainy and her teammates were battling Mechanikat over the memory drive that contained the blueprints of a doomsday device. Tusky destroys the memory chip by using his overly-sized tooth. As the Dog Stars retrieved back to their ship, Mechanikat swore vengeance and that he'll find a way to get the memory chip back, if it's the last thing, he does.

Brainy is later summoned by Krypto when Hansel's invention was stolen by Snooky. Aboard the Dog Stars' ship, Brainy is introduced by Krypto, along with the other Dog Stars. To Hansel's surprise, she recognized Hansel as the Enchanted Pup and bows to show him respect, saying how they all look up to him as the protector of the universe. The Dog Stars then go into stealth mode and infiltrate Mechanikat's ship. Unfortunately, Hansel accidentally triggers a trap where a cage traps the Dog Stars and himself. Mechanikat appears and uses a neutralizer to neutralize the Dog Stars' powers.

He then tells the Dog Stars, his plan to retrieve the memory of the doomsday device and use it conquer the entire galaxy, starting with planet Earth. Mechanikat then leaves the room to retrieve the memory. Hansel is then able to free himself by using his grappling hook gun to grab the neutralizer. He restores the Dog Stars' powers. By using their powers, they free themselves from the cage and battle the incoming Cat Bots. The Cat Bots are later defeated and Mechanikat is stripped of his memory.

Back aboard, the Dog Stars' ship, Brainy awards Hansel with a medal for his heroism and offers him a job at the Dog Stars patrol. Hansel accepts the offer, much to the joy of the other Dog Stars. He also welcomes them to stay on planet EverRealm as appreciation for helping him retrieve his invention. They journey with Hansel back to Metro City, as he re-enters the science fair and wins the science fair with his repaired invention.
