Brenda

**Brenda** (Japanese: **ブレンダ** *Burenda*) is a young girl who lives in the city of Alto Mare in the Johto region. She's also the best friend of Latias, and the granddaughter of Quentin.

## **New Era**

### **Johto Journey**

Brenda first appeared in the museum, drawing some of the stain glass windows in the museum. Dwayne was distracted by her, since he previously saved Latias in the form of Brenda and believed she was the same girl he rescued. Wanting to know why she disappeared after he saved "her", Dwayne pursued her across Alto Mare, finally catching up to her on the other side of the bridge, but Brenda was confused by his questions and quickly left. Dwayne lost track of Brenda but instead followed Latias to the Secret Garden.

As Latios attacked Dwayne, Brenda appeared and believed Dwayne was trying to harm him. Quentin soon appeared and stopped the fighting. Brenda soon learned the truth and apologized for her actions, becoming friends with Dwayne after seeing Latias's attachment to him. She and her grandfather were later held hostage by Tyra and Moira, who had captured Latios and the Soul Dew to power up the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare. Brenda ordered Latios to use sight sharing to bring Dwayne and Latias to the museum. Brenda and Quentin were soon freed and helped save Latios from being tortured by the DMA. Latios and Latias later stopped the tsunami wave from hitting Alto Mare. The following morning, Brenda and others searched for the guardians. While Latias was soon located, she learned of Latios's sacrificial death to save the town and received the new Soul Dew.

As Dwayne and his friends prepared to leave Alto Mare, Brenda interrupted Latias's farewell with Dwayne, and commented on the fact that Latias's attachment towards him was stronger than Latias's attachment towards her, and agreed that Latias should join Dwayne's team, and bid Latias goodbye as she left with Dwayne.

## **Character**

Brenda is a friendly and kind-hearted individual, but also very protective of Latios and Latias, and hastily assumed that Dwayne was trying to harm the Eon Pokémon, but only after Latias prevented him from getting hurt, and when her grandfather explained the situation, was when Brenda realized her mistake and apologized.

She's also an extremely talented artist, with her drawings being compared to a professional artist's, and Brenda says that her dream was to become a worldwide famous artist, and hopes to travel the world and create as many drawings as possible and hopes that her drawings would one day be placed in the Alto Mare museum.

### **Cared for**

Latias and her brother, Latios, lived in the Secret Garden in Alto Mare, where they were the guardians of the Soul Dew. They are longtime friends with Quentin and Brenda, who have cared for them since they were young. Latias is particularly close with Brenda, and often shapeshifts and walks around Alto Mare as her.
Latias and Latios presented some very unique powers, such as sight sharing, invisibility, and shapeshifting. Latios ordered Latias to escape to safety, while he was captured by Tyra and Moira and used to operate the DMA. Latios later sacrificed himself to save Alto Mare, leaving Latias behind, but after seeing Latias's strong attachment towards Dwayne, Brenda and Quentin agreed that Latias should join his team, and Latias and Brenda share a heartfelt goodbye as Latias leaves the city with Ryder.
