Changes: Brittany Reynolds

Revision as of 15:17, 16 January 2015

"At least we helped those people. I mean, it's nice we know our powers really are good."

—Piper after saving Brittany.^[src]

Brittany Reynolds was a friend of the Charmed Ones and the girlfriend of Max Jones. In 1998, she was one of the victims of the demon Javna, causing her to rapidly age into an old woman. Her youth was restored when the sisters banished the demon.

Years later, Brittany was killed by Neena and Hogan, as they required the blood of innocents as part of a ritual to resurrect the Source of All Evil. As the demonic influence of Javna was still in her system, she once again aged rapidly upon her death.

History

Getting Kidnapped

Phoebe: "Hey, Brittany. Ooh, I love that tattoo... I thought it was illegal to get them on your hand because of the veins."

Brittany: "In the States, yeah. I got it done in Tahiti."

— Brittany talking to Phoebe about her tattoo.^[src]

Brittany lived in San Francisco, where she befriended the sisters and presumably met her boyfriend Max. She went on holiday to Tahiti around that time and had a tattoo of an angel on her hand, which would have been illegal in the United States. While talking to Piper and Phoebe at Quake, she showed the sisters her tattoo. When she left, she got in her car and checked the mirror to fix her make-up. She then spotted someone sitting in the backseat and screamed, though she was overpowered and taken.

The following day, Max went to the police station to report her missing and talking to Andy Trudeau and Darryl Morris. Andy then mentioned she was the fourth young woman to disappear.

Becoming Elderly

1x02-brittany — Brittany's youth restored

When Piper left the church after dropping off the catering, she noticed an old woman walking around. When she later returned and saw the woman again, she recognized the tattoo on her hand and took her to the manor. She asked her several questions to confirm it was Brittany. As Piper and Prue checked the Book of Shadows, Brittany recognized Stefan's address on a napkin, which he had given to Phoebe. She grabbed the napkin and collapsed, saying the name Javna.

After Javna took Phoebe, she and her sisters banished the demon with a spell. As a result, Brittany's youth was restored.

Death

BrittanyCoffin — Old Brittany in her coffin.

In 2008, the sisters learned that Brittany had been killed and Piper and Phoebe attended her funeral. When Phoebe touched the coffin she had a premonition of Brittany and saw she was once again elderly. Piper couldn't believe it was possible since they defeated Javna years before. To be sure, Piper froze the cemetery and opened the coffin to check for herself.

As Piper was sure her death was not by natural causes, the sisters returned home to check the Book of Shadows. They later learned that all the innocents they saved were being targeted by Neena and Hogan, who required their blood to resurrect the Source of All Evil.

Notes and Trivia

It is likely that Brittany did not remember what happened to her, as Phoebe ran into another victim named Tia, who did not remember a thing.
Brittany Reynold's license plate number was ZJS1723.
Brittany is the first innocent saved by the sisters in the series. In the comics, she was the first innocent revealed to have been killed.

+'''Brittany Reynolds''' was a friend of [[the Charmed Ones]] and the girlfriend of [[Max Jones]]. In [[1998]], she was one of the victims of the demon [[Javna]], causing her to rapidly age into an old woman. Her youth was restored when the sisters banished the demon.
-'''Brittany Reynolds''' ''(died [[2007]])'' was a [[mortals|mortal]] and the first [[innocents|innocent]] that [[Prue Halliwell|Prue]], [[Piper Halliwell|Piper]] and [[Phoebe Halliwell]] ever saved. She was a friend of the sisters beforehand, and was the girlfriend of [[Max Jones]]. She went on holiday to [[Tahiti]] in [[1998]], and had a tattoo of an angel done on her hand, since it was illegal to have tattoos on your hands in the United States. After an evening at [[Quake]], Brittany was kidnapped by [[Javna]], who proceeded to suck out her youth through the power of the [[Evil Eye]]. As an aged old lady, she lost her memory and wandered the streets of San Francisco until she met Piper outside a church, who recognised her because of her tattoo. After taking her to the [[Halliwell Manor]] for her safety, Brittany mentioned Javna and, soon enough, the Halliwell sisters vanquished him using the [[Hand of Fatima]], restoring her youth. She apparently remembered nothing of the event.
+Years later, Brittany was killed by [[Neena]] and [[Hogan]], as they required the blood of innocents as part of a ritual to resurrect [[the Source of All Evil]]. As the demonic influence of Javna was still in her system, she once again aged rapidly upon her death.

-Unbeknownst to everyone, Javna's dark magic remained with Brittany, according to the ''[[Once a Mortal...]]'' entry in the [[Book of Shadows]], and she either aged dramatically before dying or died of natural causes before her body returned to its elderly state. Her funeral was attended by Piper and Phoebe, who had a [[premonition]] of her aged body in the coffin before Piper froze the scene and checked. She was indeed elderly, which confused the sisters. It turned out that Brittany was only the first of many of the Charmed Ones' innocents to die, [[Marcy Steadwell]] and [[Owen Grant]] following.

-Brittany was born into the Reynolds family, a family of [[mortals]], and lived in [[San Francisco]]. At an unknown time, she met [[Max Jones]] and became his girlfriend. They had also moved in together by late [[1998]]. She went on holiday to [[Tahiti]] around that time and had a tattoo of an angel on her hand, which would have been illegal in the United States because of the veins.

-When [[Piper]] and [[Phoebe]] talk at [[Quake]], Brittany walks up and hands Piper her check. Phoebe notices her tattoo on her hand and asks if it's not illegal to get them done in the states. Brittany says that she got it done in Tahiti and then tells Piper to keep the change on her bill. As Brittany leaves Quake around 10pm, she gets into her car and checks her makeup in the mirror. When she readjusts her mirror back she sees [[Javna|a man]] sitting in the back seat. She screams. The next day her boyfriend, [[Max]], shows up at the police station asking [[Andy]] and [[Darryl]] for any help. He says that it's not like Brittany to not call. Andy mentions that she is the fourth victim in the past week.

-When Piper drives off from the church, an older woman is seen walking around outside. She scratches her head and an angel tattoo on her hand is revealed. Later when Piper returns to the church to discover that she can in fact walk inside, Piper runs into the same older woman and Piper recognizes the tattoo. The woman can not remember her name but Piper is convinced. She brings her back to the manor and when [[Prue]] gets home, Piper has food ready for Brittany. Piper explains to Prue that the elderly woman is Brittany Reynolds and that she was able to answer questions that "only Brittany would know."
+===Death===
-While Piper and Prue are looking for answers in the [[Book of Shadows]], Brittany walks around in the kitchen, downstairs. She recognizes Stefan's address written on a cocktail napkin from Quake. She grabs the napkin and then falls to the floor. Prue and Piper rush to Brittany's side and all she can say is, "Javna."

-After Javna is vanquished, Brittany's youth is restored as she is laying down in the manor. She is confused about where she is and why she is dressed the way she is.
+In [[2008]], the sisters learned that Brittany had been killed and [[Piper]] and [[Phoebe]] attended her funeral. When Phoebe touched the coffin she had a premonition of Brittany and saw she was once again elderly. Piper couldn't believe it was possible since they defeated Javna years before.

-===Funeral===
-In [[No Rest for the Wicca]], it is stated that she has been killed. As Piper and Phoebe attend to her funeral, we learn that she was still in couple with Max.
+==Notes and Trivia==
-As Phoebe touches the coffin she has a premonition of Brittany, inside the coffin, extremely elderly, like how Javna made her, before the sisters turned her back to normal. Piper says that this can't be possible because they vanquished Javna almost a decade before. Just to be sure, Piper freezes the whole place and opens the coffin only to find that Phoebe's premonition was true. Brittany is old again. Piper was convinced that her death was not caused by natural causes.
+*It is likely that Brittany did not remember what happened to her, as Phoebe ran into another victim named [[Tia]], who did not remember a thing.
