Brenda is a young little witch from Witch Haven Conservatory who first appears in Season 3's "The Littlest Witch" and then later in Season 6's "Scruple's Sweetheart".

Biography

In her first appearance, Brenda was chastised by her teacher Miss Snarly for failing to be an evil witch like her fellow students and was given one last chance to become one by changing a songbird into a bat or she will be expelled. In her attempts to turn songbirds into bats, which only resulted in one turning into a butterfly and another turning into a frog, she came into contact with Smurfette who scolded her for tampering with Mother Nature's creations.

Brenda explained that she was supposed to be evil, but Smurfette and Hefty challenged her to become good, which she had no idea what that was supposed to mean. Smurfette took Brenda to the Smurf Village so that Papa Smurf could teach her to be good, but as she was trying to be good, Brainy had insulted Brenda, which made her change Brainy into a pig. Later, when Papa Smurf changed Brainy back into a Smurf, Brenda's teacher changed Brainy into a chicken and also kidnapped Scaredy, forcing Papa Smurf to surrender himself unto her. Brenda took Papa Smurf with her to confront her teacher while Hefty and Smurfette sneaked into the teacher's office to rescue Scaredy and to get a page from her spell book in order to change Brainy back into a Smurf.

Brenda - Smurfs

As Brenda's teacher gave chase to Brenda and Papa Smurf, the village leader fell off Brenda's broom and was clutching onto a root for dear life over a ravine. Brenda's teacher now had Papa Smurf at her mercy, but Brenda saved Papa Smurf by turning the teacher's broom into an anvil, causing her to plunge into a ravine and be soaked by the river, which would make her lose her powers for a year. After returning to the village, Papa Smurf used the page from the teacher's spell book to change Brainy back to a Smurf, though he was still biased against Brenda's presence in the village. Brenda learned from that adventure that she had the capacity for doing good and had planned on traveling the world doing good deeds with her powers, the first of which was to change a songbird that she turned into a butterfly back into a songbird.

Scruple's Sweetheart - Smurfs

In her second appearance, the Smurfs encounter Brenda again when they find her crying due to no one asking her to attend the Broomstick Ball. After she expresses the opinion that she isn't beautiful, the Smurfs offer to help her. While flying with them to Smurf Village, she accidentally drops them into a bog, and while looking for them runs into Scruple. Brenda is smitten with the young apprentice but is forced to break off her conversation with him to rescue her Smurf friends from Gargamel. In the process, she shows off the powers of her new magic wand, which attracts Scruple's interest.

Oblivious to Scruple's true character, Brenda tells the Smurfs about him, and they try to give her advice on how to win him over. However, Smurfette encourages Brenda to be herself, and Brenda follows that advice and seeks out Scruple, asking if he plans to attend the Broomstick Ball. Seeing an opportunity to steal Brenda's wand, Scruple asks her to be his date to the ball, much to Brenda's delight. The Smurfs help Brenda get ready for the ball, and then offer to accompany her when she admits to still being nervous.

Brenda drops off the Smurfs at Witch Haven Conservatory before going to meet Scruple, whom the Smurfs recognize and resolve to warn Brenda about. Brenda dances with Scruple, who keeps stepping on her feet, and then spots Gargamel chasing the Smurfs. Scruple, pretending to be heroic, takes her wand to use against Gargamel, only for Gargamel to try and take it from him and cause utter chaos. Gargamel eventually obtains the wand, and turns the students who confront him into frogs, before capturing the Smurfs except for Smurfette, who finds Brenda crying after realizing that Scruple never really cared about her.

Smurfette helps Brenda overcome her grief, and after overhearing Scruple call her a "silly little witch" soon becomes determined to put a stop to him. She tips over an apple-bobbing tub to knock Gargamel and Scruple down a set of stairs and succeeds in recovering her wand. Brenda then curses Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael by turning them into pigs for a day, before reversing Gargamel's earlier enchantment on the other students. Brenda is cheered for her heroic efforts, and soon acquires a crowd of young wizard admirers.
