Patricia Brenner is a blonde haired green eyed Marine Corps helicopter pilot. As the only child of a Marine Corps major and a Navy flight controller, there was little doubt that Patricia would end up in the military like her parents. She is extremely cocky and opinionated. As a female Marine she tends to have a chip on her shoulder and feels like she has something to prove although what exactly that is is a mystery. She tends to talk big even when she herself is unsure of her competence.

Patricia is a very skilled pilot and for that reason she was chosen for the colony despite her record of getting herself into trouble outside of the cockpit. Her attitude is often caustic and condescending towards anyone she views as lesser and antagonistic towards anyone she views as a threat to her sense of importance. She is very difficult to get along with and has almost no friends but she's just fine with that because she feels as if she is superior.
