Brenda

Brenda was one of the 7 murdered counselours in the orginal Friday the 13th movie.

In 1979, she was hierd as a camp counselour by Steve Christy when he decided to open Camp Crystal Lake again. When setting up the archary range, she was almost hit by an arrow shot by prankster Ned Rubinstein who secretly had a crush on her. After Ned pretends to drown in order to get mouth-to-mouth from her so he could kiss her, a storm svept in over the camp. When Ned, Jack Burrell and Marcie Cunningham was outside, she together with Alice Hardy and Bill suggested they should play strip monopoly. When the door breaks up due to the storm, she reminds that she leaved the window open in her cabin, leaving Bill and Alice to close the window and go to bed. After brushing her teeth (feeling watched) she goes to bed and reads in a book. When reading, she suddenly hears a child voice yelling "help" not knowing it was Mrs. Voorhees who did the voice in order to trick her. So nice and caring, she picked up a torch before walking out in the storm, wearing nothing more than a nightgrown. When she walked into the archary range, the lights in the range was turned on, after that Brenda was killed my Mrs. Voorhees when she shot arrows into her, ironic to Ned's prank earlier in the movie. Hearing Brenda's scream, Alice and Bill walked to her cabin, only to find a bloody axe in her bed used to kill Marcie. Her body was later thrown into the window by Pamela in order to scare Alice who at the time was the only survivor.
