Brittany Taylor is a student at Lawndale High, the head cheerleader of the Lawndale High Cheerleading Squad and the on-again and off-again girlfriend of Kevin Thompson.
She is voiced by Janie Mertz. An older Brittany will appear in Jodie, this time voiced by Arden Myrin.
Physical Appearance[]
Brittany Taylor is a preppy, popular teenage girl with bright fair skin, an upturned nose, a triangular face, and pale pink-glossed lips with a heavy bottom lip. Unlike most other characters from the series, Brittany is among the few characters who actually has the whites of her eyes included in her design - notably being wide and rounded in shape, with four thin eyelashes circling at the top, paired with miniature black pupils, and small perky eyebrows. In terms of body shape, Brittany has a noticeably curvaceous, hourglass figure; consisting of broad hips and an evidently large bust size. In terms of height, Brittany seems to stand at the average side of stature.
Brittany has golden-blond hair that's normally styled into a pair of two large matching pigtails held by dark red hair ties which lengthen down to her shoulders and curl outwards into a spiral at the very ends; her bangs are also fashioned into face-framing curtain bangs, though they are styled a bit unevenly. In a few occasional moments throughout the series, we can see that her hair is quite long in length; draping down to just below her chest-level, as seen in the episode: "ill"
Because she is a Cheerleader, Brittany is typically seen donning the standard-issue Lawndale High Cheerleading uniform; which consists of a mismatched royal-blue and golden outfit, sporting a royal-blue t-shirt top with a thick golden neckline and sleeve cuffs, a box-pleated blue and yellow skirt, yellow ankle warmers, and blue high-top sneakers with off-white outline designs.
Personality[]
The stereotypical rich "popular" cheerleader, Brittany Taylor is the "second-dumbest" kid at Lawndale (the first being her boyfriend Kevin Thompson). She has more than her share of moments of gullibility and is easily distracted, but occasionally shows idiot-savant moments, like when planning a complex, and successful paintball tactic.
Brittany is never mean on purpose but does show hidden feelings of naïve self-respect, mostly towards Kevin. She usually imagines her future self as leaving him and becoming amazingly successful. As the series progresses, she starts to become friendlier with Daria and Jane, occasionally going to them for advice. After graduating, her unfaithful relationship with Kevin became in jeopardy. It is unknown if they broke up or not.
Brittany is generous, optimistic, friendly, manipulative, naïve, and often seems like she is trapped in her own shallow, materialistic world. When Kevin is involved, she is by turns doting, worried, jealous, loving, and protective. She also has "come and go intelligence," because while ignorant and gullible, she can be shockingly sensible. She displays an aptitude for military tactics, is a decent actress with an above average memory, was accepted into Great Prairie State University, and receives favorable marks in Creative Writing.
In Partner's Complaint, she and Kevin had an argument over who was supposedly smarter and paired up with Jane Lane and Mack respectively deciding to go through the process of purchasing a car for an economics project (Kevin copying from Jane's idea). It was proven then that Brittany was the smarter one, due to Kevin believing that they actually had to purchase a car and doing so while leaving a cash down payment.
Relationships[]
Jodie Landon[]

Despite being polar opposites, Daria and Brittany are almost constantly talking to each other. Brittany seeks Daria out for advice, homework help, and comfort, despite Daria being annoyed and uncomfortable. Once Brittany thought Daria was stealing her boyfriend Kevin Thompson, when they were working on a school project, when really Kevin was going over to Daria's house because she had a certain sports channel, and Quinn Morgendorffer was trying to steal Kevin (Partner's Complaint). Over all, the two share a sweet friendship throughout the course of the show.
Kevin Thompson[]

Brittany and Kevin have a very turbulent relationship; the two often yell and fight with each other, and Brittany can be very jealous and possessive of Kevin. She worries about him interacting with other girls, but the two still maintain a very sexual relationship, losing their virginities to each other.
Brittany marries Kevin (whick now makes her Brittany Thompson) and the couple have three girls and two boys. Brittany is the weathergirl for Lawndale's local news station and moonlights as a cheerleading coach at Lawndale High.
Occupations/Hobbies[]

As an adult, she is a weathergirl for Lawndale's local news station, and moonlights as a cheerleading coach at Lawndale High.
Future[]
Brittany and Kevin in 2017

Kevin is a stay-at-home dad who dabbles in children’s birthday-party entertainment.

Trivia[]
- Brittany was modeled after Jenny McCarthy.
- In Latin America dubbing, Brittany was voiced by Claudia Motta.
- During the first few episodes of Season 1, Brittany's voice was noticeably softer and she spoke in a much less perky fashion. This was likely changed to make her easier to hear and to fit in better with her position as head cheerleader.
- She loves kitties as mentioned in The Old and the Beautiful.
- One of Brittany's Alter Egos is Joan of Arc carrying a French flag. Anachronistically, the flag she is carrying is the modern, republican tricolour, which was created more than 300 years after Joan of Arc's death.
