Brenda Sorenson was a human female. She was engaged to Kyle Riker in 2371; the same year, she visited the USS Enterprise with Riker when he was brought in to consult regarding a situation with the Tholians. Her own father remarried a woman whom Brenda could not stand, and as such she honed in on her own fracturing of the Kyle/Will Riker relationship. Brenda attempted to talk to Will Riker unsuccessfully, then broke off her engagement to Kyle, using a hostage situation that she was involved in as an excuse. After a counseling session with Deanna Troi, and coming to an understanding with Will Riker, she put the engagement back on.
