Kelle Brainerd, scion of Maxim Brainerd of Brain Trust Incorporated, earned her first Ph.D. before she was seventeen, and by twenty-six she was the foremost thinker in reality physics in the nation, but she could never escape her overbearing, dismissive father or the fact that the world was not yet ready for a woman of her intelligence and accomplishments.
Dr. Kelle Brainerd may not look like it, but she is both the leader of the group of "Travellers" and one of the strongest characters in the book, despite having never seen war and having a sheltered up bringing. The reason is because she is likely the smartest person in any given nation, and that intelligence is not a debilitating crawl through the zone of confusion but is practically applied and hardly noticeable to people around her, unless she wants it to be noticed.
Seeing Kelle for the First Time
She was petite, maybe 150 centimeters tall, and probably not even 50-kilograms mass. She had dark, black hair, cut boyish short and held in place by metal hair clips. She was wearing a pink poodle skirt with a black appliqué poodle prominent on the front, black and white saddle shoes in shiny patent leather, and a grey sweatshirt that said, "College" on it. It was odd that it did not say what college was being referred to. The girl appeared to be fifteen, but was reading a huge university-level textbook of some sort, labeled as a library checkout. Beside her was an Aladdin Industries vacuum flask and lunchbox with the image of Hopalong Cassidy fixed to the metal. She also had a huge blue backpack with a brushed metal frame she leaned against, an impossibly large thing for a girl her size, made of some space age blue fabric. It looked like a square satellite dish.
Iconic Weapons
Although she does not use her iconic weapon, preferring non-violent means of chasing away adversaries, and we never see it in the first book, Dr. Brainerd carries in her Jansport expedition pack wrapped in a canvas cloth her great-grandfather's knuckle knife. Sergeant William Match of the 2nd Infantry Division (United States) carried the weapon into battle at Belleau Wood, Château-Thierry, and the Argonne. The weapon was passed to his only daughter and on until Kelle received it at age 22. It first appears as a paperweight on her desk in the book A Crack in Time.
Scientific Writings
They day I understood that the world was made of thirteen dimensions, was the day everything finally made sense.
