 **- Rex Cavanaugh about Bree**

It has been noted that Bree used to be ‘normal’ and had a decent childhood. However, when her mother left the household, Bree changed and became more rebellious. She didn’t have a strong relationship with her father after her mother left until Episode 9, where he vowed to be a better father. She has been friends with John Baggott since at least they started going to Bannerman.

## Appearance

* Eye color: Brown
* Hair color: Black
* Height: 5 feet
* Trademark: Leather jacket, tie, and blonde hair tips

Bree is the shortest member of DGM. Her fashion style is a cross between grunge and street. She often wears items of clothing that are black- such as her infamous leather jacket and fishnet- and wears dark makeup around her eyes. She also has a small tattoo on her wrist. Her nails are painted light blue in season 1.

## Personality

Bree has a tough-to-crack exterior. Towards most of the general population, she is sarcastic, sassy, dark, rebellious, and in some cases, rude. Her attitude towards figures of authority (along with her regular absences from PE) has gotten her in Principal Harrington's bad books. She isn’t one to conform with regular standards- such as wearing the boy’s tie with her school uniform- and shows little to no hesitance in breaking rules.

However, towards the handful of people she trusts, Bree can be loyal, considerate, fearless, sweet, and funny (though her sarcasm doesn’t go anywhere ;). She isn’t one to betray her friends and sometimes goes out of her way to keep them in the clear. She *can* work well with people, though she doesn’t always prefer to do so. She is also polite to adults whom she knows well, such as John’s mother, Mrs. Baggott.

## Relationships with Other Characters

> **~ An exchange between John and Bree ~**

John and Bree are best friends and each other’s closest confidants. Bree’s true personality shines through the most when she’s with John and thinks of him as family. John cares very much about Bree and often goes out of his way to protect her or figure out how she’s feeling. They spend the majority of their time together, a routine that didn’t even change when Bree and Shane were in a relationship. The show dropped hints throughout the season that Bree and John harboured romantic feelings for each other, but this only became a larger focus towards the end of the season. Shane breaks up with Bree because he knows that she loves John and tells her to “fly to him”, but Bree isn’t so sure of what to do. Since Bree wouldn’t clearly tell him why Shane broke up with her, John talks to Shane himself, and comes to a realization. In the season finale, John tells Bree that he loves her, but she rejects him, denying her own feelings and leaving their friendship on less-than-stellar terms. Their future is currently unknown.

### **Kitty Wei**

Kitty and Bree are good friends. At first, they didn’t think much of each other, as they rarely crossed paths, but since then have established a strong friendship. They often pair up with each other in their schemes. Bree actually listens to Kitty whenever she wants to make a new plan, and Kitty trusts Bree’s abilities enough to let her be the one to break into buildings and houses (such as getting into Ronny’s house).

### **Margot Rivers**

Margot and Bree are also friends, though they probably interact the least out of the members of DGM. Just like with Kitty, Bree didn’t know Margot well, with the latter not knowing Bree well either, but they get along well now, and are almost always willing to help each other.

### **Olivia Hayes**

Olivia and Bree are good friends. Unlike the others, both *did* have opinions of each other when they first met- Bree viewed Olivia as a whiny, rich A-lister while Olivia thought of Bree as a stuck-up outcast, but soon enough those opinions changed. They are able to work well together, as shown when Margot and Kitty temporarily left DGM, when they managed to get to Donte’s file, despite lacking the planning and tech skills.

### **Rex Cavanaugh**

Bree and Rex are frenemies. While they were stuck in detention together, they got along (for the first day at least) and the show even hinted that they were friends during childhood. However, after a bust-up on their second day in detention together, went back to rarely speaking. After finding one of Bree’s paper cranes in Ronny’s house, Rex tipped her off to the police, and seemed very shocked when they didn’t charge her with anything. Bree doesn’t think highly of Rex and vice versa, but she has enough respect for him to describe him to Kitty as, “an idiot who really cares about his sister.”

### **Shane White**

Shane is Bree’s ex-boyfriend. Bree had an interest in him from the beginning and tried to make it clear, though Shane only really returned the feelings when she didn’t call him back. Their relationship was short-lived and didn’t involve any romantic arrangements, mainly due to Bree’s friendship with John. Ultimately, Shane breaks up with Bree because he knows she has feelings for John. However, they remained friendly, with Shane constantly urging Bree to tell John how she feels.
