Date of Birth: May 30th, 1997
Part of Gem's unit and her best friend since they were small children. Also very good friends with Alec, Biggs, and Sasha since her teens.

In the "Thwarted Dreams" / "Where Were You?" , etc. AU, Brin was one of two members of Max and Zack's family to develop progeria, though she lived. When she got to the infirmary at Manticore after the destruction of the DNA lab and saw Zack raise the gun to his head, she immediately shot him in the shoulder to stop him from killing himself, not realizing that he was doing that to save Max and was able to let go of her guilt over that and her role in Tinga's capture/death when she reconnected with her family. She was Alec's first partner in the 2020 breeding program and through that, they had a son, Anthony and they eventually realized their true feelings for each other and became an item.
