Hey, Brenda! You care to tell me why you've had a hole in the wall the size of Plymouth Rock coming out of your crapper going on three weeks now?
― Steve Barker[src]

Brenda was, for a time before Rapture's collapse, the owner and manager of the Kashmir Restaurant. Though she was once a capable and successful restaurateur, she eventually succumbed to ADAM addiction, which led her to neglect her restaurant. Steve Barker, a nearby theater owner, complains about this in his Audio Diary. As her addiction grew, and ADAM grew scarce, Brenda teamed up with another splicer named Charley.

BioShock[]

Main article: BioShock
Brenda - Splicer

Brenda lurks in her kitchen.

She appears in the Welcome to Rapture level and is found locked in the kitchen of the Kashmir. In order to fight her, the player must kill Charley, a Thuggish Splicer, while they are arguing over ADAM. She is the first Leadhead Splicer encountered in the game. She is slightly tougher than the Splicers encountered in the game so far, most likely from the ADAM, but it is still a relatively easy fight. Fighting her is optional since she doesn't even know of Jack's presence.

If Brenda is not killed in the Kashmir, then she may be encountered shortly after in the Transit Hub. After Jack descends the staircase and heads to the towards the Neptune's Bounty entrance, the gate security seals and an alarm is triggered. While Atlas tries to override the security lockdown, a hole is blown in a wall on the upper floor, through which a wave of Splicers come running out of to attack. Occasionally, Brenda is one of the Splicers, which is identified by her quotes.

Quotes from Brenda.

Bugs/Glitches[]

  •  Icon mac Icon xbox Icon ps3 If Brenda kills Jack, he can return to the restaurant after being revived in the Vita-Chamber, and she will not attack unless attacked first. The exception to this is when another Splicer is already attacking Jack.
  •  Icon ps3 If two Leadhead Lady Smith Splicers spawn from the blown up wall in the Transit Hub, both may have Brenda's quotes.
  •  Icon ps3 Even if the player kills Brenda in the Kashmir Restaurant, a Splicer with her dialogue may still appear in the Transit Hub.

Behind the Scenes[]

  • Brenda uses one of the first five variations of the Lady Smith Splicer model.
  • The gate to the Medical Pavilion will open as soon as the second Splicer of the second wave (which contains three Splicers) is killed, meaning that the player doesn't have to kill Brenda to proceed.
  • Brenda is not always encountered in the Transit Hub, as the Splicer models that appear are random between Lady Smith, Toasty and Rosebud, and a Lady Smith doesn't always spawn (additionally, the Lady Smith(s) that do appear do not necessarily have Brenda's quotes).
