Temperance "Bones" Brennan

Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Season 1–) works as a forensic anthropologist at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington, D.C. and is also a best–selling novelist. She is nicknamed "Bones" by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. Brennan and Booth work together on Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) cases concerning recently found human remains. Although she is an expert in her field, Brennan is socially awkward and has limited knowledge about pop culture. Her birth name was Joy Keenan while her brother's birth name was Kyle Keenan and their names were changed by their parents in an effort to protect them from enemies from their past. Brennan's parents left her and her older brother, Russ, when she was fifteen. She also thinks herself to be extremely rational. She is not usually (barring a few episodes, such as the Doctor in the Photo) the one to get the most emotionally attached to the cases and/or the people involved. She and Booth became a couple and have a daughter, Christine, and are later married. In season 10 episode "The Eye in the Sky", she is revealed to be pregnant again. At the end of season ten, she and Booth quit the team, planning to move away. In the first episode of Season 11, 6 months have passed and Brennan has given birth to a son named Hank Booth ll, after Seeley Booth's grandfather.
