— mocked Brenda when a vanquishing spell had no effect on her
| ||
Brenda Mancini was a pledge of Kappa Tau Kappa who died on February 13, 1989, after falling off of the sorority's roof. She would become a ghost and begin to haunt the women of Kappa, influencing several sisters to fall to their deaths just as she had.
She briefly targeted Lucy, who had been hurt by Maggie Vera, and attempted to cause her to kill herself as well. However, Maggie was able to ease Lucy's pain and thus Brenda lost her connection to the living world.
History[]
Sorority Life[]
Brenda started pledging Kappa Tau Kappa sorority in the late 80's. During her time, she was a bully and slept with two of the members' boyfriends simultaneously. Then-president Jenna Gordonson found out and kicked her out of the sorority. Angered by this, Brenda got drunk and started vandalizing the sorority house rooftop before she fell off the rooftop to her death.
Afterlife[]
Her spirit had since been stuck in her pledge candle and haunted Kappa Tau Kappa, preying on brokenhearted sorority sisters who felt betrayed by their friends. In November, 2018, Brenda targeted Lucy, the current president of Kappa, but was defeated by Maggie Vera's genuine apology that eased Lucy's hurting. With Lucy's pain gone, Brenda lost her connection to the living world and disappeared.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Flight: As a ghost, Brenda had the ability to take on a flying spectre form.

- Pyrokinesis: The ability to create or manipulate fire. In her flying ghost form, Brenda was able to cause the fireplace to ignite.
- Telekinesis: The power to move objects with one's mind. Brenda used this power to close curtains.

Trivia[]
- Brenda was described as being vanquished but she was not destroyed and simply lost her connection (Lucy) to the physical world. Thus, one could say that she was vanquished in the more general sense of "defeated" or "banished", but she was not vanquished in the typical Charmed sense of "total destruction".
