Characterisation
Network Ten describe Bree as being totally different to her siblings and that it makes sense they are not related biologically. They also call her a "introverted and studious girl" and the problem solver of the Timmins family. She "clearly possessed an overactive imagination, fuelled by years of reading trashy novels, and her bizarre flights of fantasy made her a bit of an outsider." In her early year she was shy, but when she discovered she was in fact not related to the Timmins, she craved a new identity, being a "disaffected and disillusioned young adolescent teenager" she transformed into a goth. The Age described the character of Bree as "troubled" and "sullen". They said her major development was "morphing into an 'emo' while grieving for her brother". Of her character, Smit-McPhee said "Bree started off as a geek but a brainy one. When her brother died she didn't really find who she was. I think all teenagers go through that, to find themselves and want to be Paris (Hilton) for a day".
