Brittany

**Brittany** is one of the three leaders in Pikmin 3 and a supporting character in Trooper Village Stories. 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. Brittany is the first playable female character in the Pikmin series.

Brittany appears in the Kirby Bulborb Cinematic Universe as a botanist, peacekeeper, and ally to the citizens of Trooper Village. She is also allied with the Hocotations in the Trooper Dimension, but fought against alternate universe counterparts of them. Brittany created Cyber Captain Olimar to serve her both with finding fruit and assisting Koppai in various battles, including the Hocotate and Koppaite War.

## 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 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 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 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.

## History

### Pikmin 3

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 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 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.

### Trooper Village Stories

Brittany became a peacekeeper and was allied with the Hocotations in the Trooper Dimension, but fought against alternate universe counterparts of them in the Hocotate and Koppaite War.
