Bio
I peed alone my whole life...women have always hated me...I don't even know how it started.

— Britta Perry, "Football, Feminism and You". |
|
Personality
Britta's claims that other girls have always hated her ("Football, Feminism and You"), and Abed estimates that over 50% of the people who meet her don't like her ("Communication Studies"). Although she aspires to be selfless, she is prone to being vain, preachy, and hypocritical in her actions ("Contemporary American Poultry"), ("Advanced Criminal Law"). Despite her best efforts, when she tries to do good it will usually backfire on her ("Debate 109"). She is distrustful of large organizations, particularly governments and religions (she has identified herself as an atheist ("Comparative Religion"). Britta's constant rants against such institutions annoy everyone in the study group who consider her a buzz-kill ("The Science of Illusion"). She attempts to appear progressive and cool but often comes off as misinformed and pretentious ("Early 21st Century Romanticism"). Her mispronunciation of certain words has caused her to be referred to as "the worst" and made her the butt of many jokes ("Physical Education"). She has a hipster mentality and scorns anything conventional or popular ("The Art of Discourse"). Britta loves cats and has had several including Suzie B who became ill and died whom she later replaced with Daniel who has only one eye ("The Art of Discourse"). Romantically, she found herself drawn to men who are damaged in some way; she admitted it's because she hated herself that she did this ("The Psychology of Letting Go"). |

Relationships
In the study group
Britta's original role within the group was to keep them focused on the goal of studying for Spanish without any distractions. Ironically when Annie took over as the taskmaster Britta herself became an increasing distraction. She would interrupt meetings to go on tirades about various injustices occurring in the world. Her uniformed and clueless rants caused her to be mocked within the group. The group would refer to her as "The Worst", a nickname which stuck throughout her time at Greendale. They would also start using her name to mean messing something up.
