Biography[]
Early Life[]
Pacific Rim: The Black[]
Operation Blackout[]
Moments prior to the activation of Operation Blackout by Ranger Herc Hansen, Brina, with pilot Ford, had just defeated Bone Spur, an unknown category Kaiju, in Meridian City. Returning to the city to save her children, Brina and Ford worked with Marauder Zeus and its pilots to get them to safety. After securing a bus of evacuees, Brina and Ford are surprise attacked by Category III Kaiju, Acidquill. Marauder saves them using its Rotary Machine Gun. Moments later, Marauder Zeus is jumped by another Acidquill, and Brina and Ford are required to watch their Jaeger partner be destroyed.[3]
Brina and Ford pilot Hunter Vertigo to the Shadow Basin base to find that it has been covered. After registering another Acidquill approaching them, they leave the bus on a cliff edge, and turn to fight the oncoming Kaiju. After they attempt to engage their Cryo Cannons, Acidquill uses one of its tails to disable their left cannon. Brina then attempts to dislodge the cannon and strike the Kaiju with it. Ford deploys a warhead, the Kaiju deflects it back, but the both of them catch the warhead, and detonate it in the Kaiju's mouth, killing it.[3]
Brina leaves the Jaeger with Ford to tell her children that the both of them are unharmed. After exchanging a short conversation about the current occurrences, Brina and Ford show the bus evacuees a hidden oasis within the mountains. Brina and Ford leave the children in hopes to go and signal for help by heading towards Sydney.[3]
Abandoning Hunter Vertigo[]
After a battle in Clayton City, Brina and Ford are required to evacuate their Jaeger in order to survive the ordeal. They leave a message within the system of Hunter Vertigo in hopes that someone will find it. With their last nuclear warhead jammed in the launcher, Brina says that there is "no more fight left in this old Jaeger". She then asks for Marshal Rask to go and find the bus evacuees and their children at Shadow Basin. Ford and Brina then evacuate the Jaeger, leaving to the outside world where the Kaiju was.[4]
Trivia[]
- All damage received by Hunter Vertigo on screen was on its left side, the same hemisphere Brina controlled. In addition, she was also the primary pilot when ripping off one of Hunter's cryo cannons and shoving a nuclear warhead down a kaiju's throat. Her willingness to sacrifice multiple parts of her Jaeger, sustaining pain while doing so, suggests she is possibly the more adept pilot of Hunter Vertigo.[3]
- Her usage of the word "papa" implies her dog tags belonged to her father. This further implies that he was also a Jaeger pilot before her (making her a second-generation pilot, and by extent Taylor a third-generation pilot).[3]
- Whilst under the control of the Sisters of the Kaiju, she was able to recognize her son, as evidenced by her tearing up when seeing him.[5]
- Brina is close with her son.
