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. | He is mild-mannered and is one of the most polite characters in the series.

Despite being quite well mannered, Brain sometimes | 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 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. | ||
He is a big believer in the power of science | He is a big believer in the power of science and logic, 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> | ||
