Dante
Brianna and Dante have a positive relationship. They often jest with each other and are seen together often due to their proximity to Maggie.

Appearances
Trivia
- Brianna had one of the largest known families before the apocalypse.
- Upon their introduction, Brianna mentions losing a boyfriend a few weeks prior to meeting Maggie. This coincides Ethan stabbing Gregory after having returned from a failed supply drop that resulted in Andy and David being killed and Crystal being taken hostage, so it's possible she was in a relationship with one of the expedition members.
- Brianna is the only named female character to be still alive in the Hilltop Colony.
