Dr. Temperance Brennan is the lead forensic anthropologist at the Jeffersonian and possibly the nation, played by Emily Deschanel. She is a novelist, which is shown on Season 4 Episode 26 "The End in the Beginning" when her story becomes the dream of Booth's comatose dreams.
She could be considered dysfunctional and is constantly called a "cold fish," simply because she views the world of human emotions as an outsider. She understands the concepts behind love and social moralities, but she does not feel the need to follow the tradition.
Her parents have a huge crime history. As a child, she was on the run and in hiding with her mother, father, and brother, because her father was a vigilante, killing men justifiably but still considered a criminal and murderer. Her brother followed his footsteps and they both end up in jail in one of the episodes, and are recurring characters throughout Bones. They are the reason that she is so "cold."
I love her character. She isn't afraid to say a relationship is "purely physical" and ended up dating two men at once, one for an intellectual connection and the other for a sexual satisfaction. Her comments are generally blunt and to the point, lacking civilities that drive Booth crazy (he is the only one who can call her "Bones"). Currently, she has no idea that Booth cares for her, but it is foreshadowed that if she did know and let him in, that they're break up would permanently hinder her future.
