CHARACTER
NAME: Temperance Brennan
SERIES: Bones
TIMELINE: Pre-season 5
BACKGROUND: wikipedia.
ABILITIES:
☠ Crazy intelligent: She's a brilliant scientist. Though her field lies mostly in anthropology and osteology, she's capable in some areas of engineering, mechanics and biology.
☠ Apt at selfdefense: Don't get too close to her, she doesn't like it when people get in her space. She's been known to break the wrists of serial killers, punch out people trying to shoot her, beat up a mob boss etc..
☠ A decent shot: She's a hunter and she can kill, but she isn't as accurate as say, Booth.
☠ Can identify dead bodies: She's the best forensic anthropologist in her field. She can identify a person by their skeleton and give you their age, sex, occupation and hobbies just from the indicators on the bone.
☠ She can say skull in almost every language, but it's also shown that she can speak Chinese and Spanish.
☠ She can sing really well, though the times she sings, Booth gets shot.
H-However, none of these will need to be operating at 30 percent as she has no paranormal skills.
PERSONALITY:
☠ She puts science first before making any conclusion. Though later on in the series she becomes to get excited about speculation, she's horrible at it. Brennan puts the empirical facts before any psychology. It's how she hides her other side, the side that detests losing people and being betrayed. After her mother and father abandoned her, she sought comfort in science and academia, hence why she finds more in common with facts than with people. This adds into her complex relationship with her father: he's her father, first and foremost, however he's also a criminal. It's a huge conflict within her and it tends to display itself in the most hostile of ways. She can't forgive him, but a the same time, she loves him so absolutely much.
☠ She doesn't believe that she should change just because someone else told her not to. She states that when she was working in Nicaragua, she was threatened to stop identifying bodies killed from the death squads or else she would die. She's also run from the Chinese government because she was doing work in Tibet. She even gets buried alive for trying to solve the murder of two twin boys in an aluminum can. Justice before safety, but her feelings are last before logic.
☠ Brennan loathes psychology; it's not a hard science, you can't apply the tests of science to it. She cannot think of things as a result of a conditional, she cannot experiment with psychology. Therefore, she wishes to learn how Booth manages to use his intuition- she admires him for it. On that respect, she hates it when people tell her about her science - especially coroners and people who tamper with her crime scene.
☠ She has a strong distaste for religion, she supports death opposition and she knows martial arts and wants a gun. She doesn't let anyone in, she only believes in herself. As time goes on, however, she allows Booth in as a support. But, she loves to shoot people - she shot a man in the foot, she has a hunting license in four states and she tends to hurt men who dare to talk down to her.
☠ She finds more companionship in bones than she does people. There's a disconnect with how she views people: she knows nothing of pop culture, she gets common colloquiums in correct - though, she tries her best to- she cannot read body language nor can she understand humor or sarcasm or timing. She doesn't pick up social cues nor does she know when not to say something. Though, she seems to be an apt pupil.
☠ She has a derpy side. She adores cute things (daffodils, daisies, cute animals) and she gets along with children. At some point, she allows her wall to fall and considers adoption - but in the end, she decides against it.
☠ Booth is the exception to all rules. Booth is sort of her rock in stormy weather. For instance, when his brother didn't pull any strings in the Navy when he was buried alive, she called him a loser and shoved him off of a bar stool. When it comes to him and his cases, she allows herself to get emotional. His well being is her first priority, even though the facts suggest otherwise.
