Britta for the Win

Now its no surprise that I love Community, one of my all-time favourite shows. Its Breakfast Club like premise of a Group of Misfits that form an unlikely friendship at Community College is greatly complimented with its exceptionally talented ensemble cast. Very few shows have ever had so many rich, diverse and well rounded characters, Today I'll write about my current favourite.

Britta Perry has to be the most interesting member of the Group. She's a completely wayward and broken person. The show Wildcard as Abed put it. She's more aware of the World outside the study group and seems to be the only one interested in it, even though the character itself is one that is quite unlikeable. She's socially insecure and awkward and will do anything to feel "Cool and Hip"... Which really makes her such a sad character to begin with.

She champions causes that no one else cares for and that just further alienates her from the group. That's all they seem to have mostly for Britta, she cares too much about stuff no one else cares for and she's outcasted for it.

Other than that she's playing Troy's love interest, which is what is helping establish Troy as more of a leading character and rival to Jeff's leadership. Troy and Britta's little shipper moments are really building Troy's character into a more grown up adult. So she's playing a crucial role in Troy's character development too.

But besides being the self righteous hippie do goer and Troy's love interest they are obviously setting up the character reveal of her being sexually molested as a Child. Which is why her Psych test evaluation seemed rather interesting... you know, about the Penises.

In Britta's above NBC character Bio she reveals some very personal secrets about a man in a Dinosaur Costume on her Eleventh Birthday which of course is brought back up in the Season 1 Finale with her Psych visits with Professor Duncan. Then during the Season 2 Halloween Special she was dressed as a Dinsaur.

That will probably be the most critical character reveal of the season and how that is handled will pretty much make or break Britta's overall character involvement in the show.
