For Saison Margeurite's daughter, see Brittnay Margeurite.

Brittnay Matthews is a hot-headed and sassy cheerleader. She willingly challenges anyone, not caring who they are and verbally abuses anyone that bothers her. She also has an unhealthy manner of revenge that often involves pain and serious damage.

Personality[]

Brittnay is a short tempered, easily irritable and spoiled teenager girl; She is mainly known for severe anger outbursts, ranging from simply cursing out people to blatantly murdering four full grown men all by herself, and is arguably the most aggressive member of the cheer squad, having personally insulted or taunted most of the other characters she had contact with, including her best friend and her own mother. She tries to solve all of her problems with violence and constantly ignores the consequences of her own deranged actions and mostly depends on the other members of the cheer squad, specially Mackenzie, to hold her back. Furthermore, she also has no respect for authority, a trait she has maintained from her childhood. Additionally, she is ungrateful towards her mother affection for her and is often rude despite the latter spoiling her.

The biggest trigger for her fiery temper seems to be treachery, and she often holds grudges for a long time. The biggest example of this is her relationship with Saison Margeurite, whom she has hated ever since their first appearance; She has a deep grudge for Saison for supposedly lying about her nationality and, while initially loving and excited to have Saison around, now wishes for her misery ever since, being overjoyed by her pregnancy and the prospect of having her life ruined, constantly threatening her both physically and emotionally and constantly feeling annoyed by her bare presence. Another major example is presented over the course of Season 4, where Brittnay goes after Mackenzie for breaking a promise they made in the 3rd grade. However, this is not a rule, and Brittnay seems to hate Rachel Tice, and by extension Judith Dinsmore, simply because the former ate a roly-poly during their 3rd grade. It's notable that, however, both of them are widely hated by the rest of the cast.

Despite her violent persona, she still displays several moments of civility in the course of the show: her friendship, and furthermore patience, with Trisha Cappelletti is a clear example of how she is perfectly able to be kind with people who doesn't do her any harm. As implied several times, her lack of self-control is mostly triggered by blatant lying, betrayal or similar kinds of treason: She only goes rogue with Mackenzie Zales when the latter blows up her car after clearly promising otherwise, was kind and friendly to Saison Margeurite before Jennifer McMinnimen revealed she was lying about her origins and seems barely annoyed by harmless people such as Trisha 2 and Brittnay Margeurite.

Likewise, she is not fully erratic and, while hesitant, is willing to make up for her mistakes. Once she is convinced that Saison is actually french, she feels guilty about doubting her and apologizes for the harm she caused. Furthermore, she is able to make up rationally with Mackenzie in the end of Season 4, after a heartfelt speech from Trisha, but not without blowing up Mackenzie's car herself to even up their odds.

She has rather eccentric side and, while being clearly repulsed by matters such as racism and avoiding to mingle with such people, often makes up her own ethics and morals and expects people to fully embrace it. Along with it, this eccentric side of her is further evidenced in her character blogs from the MPGIS app (see below) such as claiming in her French class notes that "[she's] genetically engineered to be compatible with plastics", or when the TSA claimed various unusual items from her, which included needles filled with Botox (thinking that "the toxins in the French air will ruin her fucking pores"), bacon (to "fuck with the bomb dogs"), a shuriken, and a human skull (both of which are part of her ex-mercenary cheerleader uniform).

While downplayed in later seasons, Brittnay has a very active sexual life and is widely known, and panned, for her "second-rate handjobs". She is easily swayed over by boys even when they mock her and is aroused when people make use of reverse psychology to flirt with her, but constantly claims she has standards because she only lets boys have intercourse with her in the butthole, and not her self-proclaimed "growler", whose virginity she is saving for someone special.

In her first appearance in Episode 2, Brittnay had several differences from her current self: she was much more ditzy and more of a dumb blonde than everything, as well as being much more girly and airheaded to the point of breaking up with Blaine McClaine solely because he liked Gossip Girl more than Glee, her favorite show. Those traits, however, are downplayed as the series progresses.

Brittnay Matthews is the only in-uniform cheerleader in the Overland Park cheer squad to not have her hair tied up in a high ponytail. She is a blonde-hair-blue-eyed girl with wavy locks, pinned back in a side parting. She wears the standard-issue Overland Park cheer squad uniform and operates the megaphone (included with her doll) in the cheer squad. She has flexible elbow joints that allow her to move her forearms and in Episode 6, Brittnay is shown to be able to easily do the splits and is revealed to have flexible knee joints as well. She also mentions that she is a size 0, along with the rest of the cheer squad.

After a cheer invention in Season 3, Brittnay wears the new red and white Overland Park Cheer Squad uniform. After being betrayed by Mackenzie, she quits the squad and begins to wear a black and white cheerleading outfit with skull insignia, as part of her new mercenary cheerleader/revenge agenda.

Biography[]

Brittnay originally attended St. Teresa's All Girls School in Kansas City, before being expelled in the third grade and transferring over to the same school as her future cheer squad. Alone and severely aggressive, Brittany originally had no intention of becoming friends with anyone, until Mackenzie, Shay, and Rachel allowed her to realize she needed friends or she'd risk another expulsion. Brittnay then made the girls swear not to make her sacrifice herself as the others did for her and became their enforcer. She would eventually go to Overland High and become part of its cheer squad, with Mackenzie as Head Cheerleader.

Relationships[]

Mackenzie Zales[]

Brittnay is Mackenzie's best friend, first lieutenant, and co-head vice-captain of the Overland Park Cheer Squad. She is often called on to do Mackenzie's dirty work, usually involving physical violence or verbal abuse. They both seem to consider their friendship as a mutually beneficial arrangement, which they set up back in third grade; Brittnay beats up anyone who bothers the group, and the other girls make sure she doesn't get in trouble for it. Their friendship fell apart at the end of season 3 when Mackenzie blew up Brittnay's car as part of her elaborate scheme to bring down Jenna Darabond, causing Brittnay to cut all ties with the cheer squad and vow revenge on Mackenzie. However, they reconciled at the end of the season due to Trisha's interference; Trisha stated that while Brittnay makes Mackenzie stronger, Mackenzie makes Brittnay smarter. Because of this, fans have speculated a romantic subtext between the two, appropriately entitling it "Brittkenzie".

Trisha Cappelletti[]

Brittnay is quite close with Trisha and considers her one of her best friends. After Brittnay turned against the cheer squad and vowed revenge on Mackenzie, Trisha was the only one she remained on good terms with. She even refrained from damaging Trisha's locker, spray painting the words "You're cool", while she spray-painted vicious insults on all the other girls' lockers. She even cut ties with Trisha after teaming up with Shay, claiming she didn't want to drag Trisha down with her.

Saison Marguerite[]

Brittnay powerfully despises Saison Marguerite, due to the fact that Jennifer McMinnimen told Brittnay that Saison is lying about being French, and is actually from Montreal. Brittnay also hates Saison's tendency of saying "how do you say" before words she clearly knows how to say. This hatred was only compounded after Saison started dating Blaine minutes after Brittnay broke up with him.

Despite the hatred she has for her now, Episode 39 revealed that Brittnay originally was very friendly to Saison Margeurite, even finding it endearing when she adds "how do you say" to her sentences.

In season 5, Brittnay became determined to prove that Saison was lying about her French roots. However, when she failed to find any proof and was even rescued by Saison after being kidnapped by the French models, she officially apologized for treating Saison badly and buried the hatchet.

Jonathan Getslinhaumer[]

Brittnay and Than first met in the Third Grade, when she beat him up for cutting in the juice line. Many years later, they dated, after they had sex in Episode 16. But they broke up in Episode 27 due to Brittnay's fame as a result of the "Epic Cheerleader Meltdown" video, as well as Jonathan's repressed sexuality. Brittnay later knew exactly how to tease Than in Episode 43.

Tristan Mckie[]

Brittnay and Tristan Mckie have an immediate mutual connection after meeting in Episode 23 and are now best friends. They often go on shopping trips and gossip about things. Brittnay even told Tristan that she had murdered four men and the two laughed it off together.
