==Physical appearance==
==Physical appearance==
Brain is an anthropomorphic bear who wears a grey sweater with olive green pants (according to the promotional art on the cartoon's official website, he had on khakis instead) and brown loafers. In the books, he wears different-colored shirts and sweaters, and blue jeans or sometimes khakis. He has clumps of hair which are brown in the books, although the cartoon depicted the hair in thin black lines in order to simplify the animation process. He wears sneakers when playing sports. His pajamas consist of a yellow sleep shirt and orange and yellow striped pajama bottoms, and is one of the few characters to wear detailed pajamas in the animated series, while most other characters wore monochromatic pajamas in order to simplify the animation process.

He also owns a grey single-breasted suit with two pockets on each side of the suit jacket. He wears a white collar shirt with a blue tie. He also wears matching grey trousers and light black shoes.

His proper name, Alan, was spelled "Allen Powers" in the episode, You Are Arthur.


==Personality==
==Personality==
He is mild-mannered and is one of the most polite characters in the series. He is an expert soccer player,<ref name="The A Team">"[[The "A" Team]]"</ref> despite [[Francine Frensky|Francine]]'s jealousy that she was great in other sports.<ref>"[[The Good Sport (episode)|The Good Sport]]"</ref> He is one of the few characters who are usually left-handed. His usual grade is an A that ranges between 100% and 90% as he is often considered the most intelligent student in Mr. Ratburn's class, and he often gets his work done faster than the other students.

Despite being quite well mannered, Brain sometimes would imagine vengeance when he feels defeated, as seen when he was defeated in a science fair by [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]]. He was formerly hydrophobic.<ref>"[[Water and the Brain]]"</ref> He tends to be called upon a lot when his friends have technical difficulties but also is great fun to hang out with. In "[[The Wheel Deal]]", he suffered a leg injury and temporarily ended up in a wheelchair.
Despite being quite well mannered, Brain sometimes has a tendency to fantasize negative and sometimes dangerous things to happen to those who have wronged him, as seen when he was defeated in a science fair by [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]].

He is a big believer in the power of science. He has a tendency to think logically but sometimes has trouble adjusting when things seemingly cannot be explained by either, or when his emotions get in the way of his logical side. After an increasing spate of bad luck, he tries to chart what's happening to him only to find that his "luck" only seems to be getting worse.<ref>"[[Friday the 13th]]"</ref> Later, he is stunned when [[Hurricane Sadie]] wrecks the Ice Cream Shoppe despite his family's careful plans and preparations to prevent such an outcome. His father's words that sometimes things like this happen no matter what only make him more anxious, as he begins to fear that the worst really could happen at ''any'' time and becomes jittery at the slightest sound of wind. A visit to [[Dr. Paula|a therapist]], as well as some more words of encouragement from his father, help him to see that he can overcome his emotions about this if he tries. His father called him the smartest, bravest and most determined person that he knows.<ref>[[Shelter from the Storm]]</ref>

He went to the [[Elwood Community Preschool|preschool]] [[D.W.]] goes to and [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] went to. He oddly enough had a rivalry with [[Binky Barnes|Binky]] that still lives on in the present. He was held back in kindergarten because he started school a year early, wasn't mature enough at the time.

[[Arthur Read]]: Arthur is Brain's other best friend as they regularly hang out. In "[[Arthur's Faraway Friend]]", Arthur and Brain spent a lot of time together while Buster was gone and the two even wrote a story together.<ref>[[The Ballad of Buster Baxter]]</ref> Brain is sometimes looking out for Arthur and cares about his well being, as seen in "[[Arthur's Knee]]", where he's concerned over Arthur's injury. The Brain often helps Arthur with his homework and helps him study. Likewise, Arthur almost always shows complete confidence in the Brain both as an intellectual and as a friend, as he was the only one who stood up for him in "[[Water and the Brain]]" when everyone else thought Brain was a snob. Despite their good friendship, Arthur doesn't seem to recognize Brain's birth name of "Alan".<ref>[[Prove It]]</ref>

[[Buster Baxter]]: Both Brain and Buster are sometimes seen hanging out and Brain also helps Buster with his homework, just like Arthur. They are good friends and Buster likes going to his Ice Cream shop almost all the time. However, Buster can be quite annoying to Brain and they may end up getting into a bad argument, but they get over it anyway.
