BioEdit

Pre-Greendale Britta was born in Riverside, Colorado in October 1980. Britta has two older brothers, one of whom works with children with some type of special disorder in a hospital. On her eleventh birthday an eager-handed man in a dinosaur costume intruded in on her party at a restaurant. This event has haunted her into adulthood. Britta dropped out of high school because she thought it would impress Radiohead and joined a group of anarchists who vandalized billboards. She was successful at recruiting new members, but was kicked out for not being anarchist enough. She joined the Peace Corps, did some foot modeling, attended a world-trade rally where she was tear-gassed, and visited Africa.

At GreendaleEdit

One day Britta woke up and realized she was "almost thirty and flat broke," thus prompting her to enroll at Greendale. She is attending the community college because it is very inexpensive and convenient for her. In season three she declared psychology as her major.

In the study groupEdit

Jeff met Britta in the cafeteria and asked if he could help tutor her in Spanish. She did not want to fail the upcoming exam, so she agreed. She told Abed (who invited other students from the class later) about the group and they all met in the library for the first study group. After revealing Jeff to be a fraud, Britta still stayed in the study group. Britta attempts to keep everyone in the group in line, especially whenever Jeff is absent, late, or just not caring. Occasionally Jeff and Britta work together for the group, often referring to themselves as their "Greendale Parents." Britta is often mocked and teased by the other members of the group and is often referred to as the buzzkill of the group. Though she is considered to be the least fun member, she is well respected and knows that she is an important member of the group.

RelationshipsEdit

Britta's personality has caused her problems in connecting with others. She has claimed that girls have always hated her, and Abed claims that over 50% of the people who meet her don't like her. She tends to be abrasive and hypocritical, which has caused stress between her and others, as well as for herself. Despite her flaws, Britta is able to form close friendships with the study group members, especially Shirley. Britta briefly dated fellow Greendale student Vaughn Miller.

Throughout season one she was constantly pursued by Jeff, but shut him down on every attempt, however it was shown that she did develop some feelings for Jeff to the point that she had sex dreams about him and got jealous when he was dating Michelle Slater. The two eventually slept together during paintball, but pursued no more afterwards. In the season one finale Britta proclaimed her love for Jeff (due in part to her competing with Michelle). In the season two episode "Paradigms of Human Memory" it is revealed that Jeff and Britta have been having secret sex since Halloween, and after the rest of the group decides that they have no problem with it, the two end the affair.

Britta later kisses Troy after he uses her attraction to men with pain to woo her. There is lingering tension after Troy comes clean, and Britta claims it was a mistake. However, in season three, there have been hints that the two remain attracted to each other.
