Annie Edison and Britta Perry portrayed by Alison Brie and Gillian Jacobs.
Britta and Annie were not the closest members of the study group but maintained a solid friendship throughout their years together at Greendale. Initially Annie was in awe of Britta's varied experiences and worldliness. Meanwhile, Britta felt the need to act as a parental figure to Annie and the group. In their first year they would even hang out together on the weekend. However, this dynamic faded as Britta's social activism began to annoy everyone and Annie started to become more assertive. Things between them got more strained due to their seemingly similar interest in men; at different times they had romantic interests in Troy Barnes, Vaughn Miller and Jeff Winger. It was mostly due to the latter that they had a public (and very embarrassing) argument. For the most part they worked through these issues and Annie was even supportive in Britta's involvement with her former high school crush Troy. When he moved out of the apartment Annie shared with him and Abed, Britta became the new roommate. Britta is portrayed by Gillian Jacobs and Annie is portrayed by Alison Brie. They both first appeared in the Season One episode "Pilot".
In their first year at Greendale, Britta Perry and Annie Edison learned about a Spanish study group and decided to attend. It was discovered that the study group was just a ruse set up by their classmate Jeff Winger to woo Britta. He hadn't anticipated Annie and several other classmates would show up as well. After a failed attempt to continue the group without Jeff, they found him depressed on the steps of the library. Annie took pity on him and convinced Britta to allow Jeff to rejoin the group. Annie and another study group member Shirley were impressed with Britta's social activism and asked her advice on how to stage a political protest on campus. When Annie has trouble getting her crush Troy Barnes to notice her, Britta comforts her in the Woman's restroom. After Winter break, the study group deals with a student named Buddy who wants to join them. He tells them about daydream he had where Britta and Annie wore cheerleader outfits and fought in bubble bath. When Annie takes an interest in Vaughn Miller, she asks Britta for her permission since Vaughn had dated her briefly. Although she claimed not to have a problem with them dating Britta conspired with Jeff to break Vaughn and Annie up. Ultimately Britta realized Annie and Vaughn really liked each other and gave them her blessing. Annie herself experiences some jealousy after witnessing Troy and Britta perform a sensual dance on stage at a recital the study group attended.

At the start of the study group's third year at school, Britta and Annie helped Troy console Abed when his favorite TV show was put on hiatus. Britta declared Psychology as her major much to the amusement of Annie and the rest of the group. Britta and Annie showed up together at a housewarming party Troy and Abed were thriving at their new apartment. On Halloween, Jeff and Britta encouraged the study group to tell horror stories in order to determine which one of them could be psychologically unbalanced.

In the morning, Britta would exit Troy's bedroom through his window, climb out to the fire escape and make her way to Annie's bedroom. Once inside she would finish getting dressed and Annie would have her a curling iron ready to go. The daily routine ended after Abed revealed he already knew Troy and Britta were hooking up. Annie and Britta accompany Troy, Abed and Jeff to an Inspector Spacetime convention. Britta turned to Annie for support when Abed declared her opinion on "Inspector Spacetime" to be invalid. Annie refused to back Britta up unwilling to upset Abed and walked off. Britta and Annie dress up in traditional Oktoberfest barmaids as part of an elaborate ruse to trick the same German exchange students from their previous year. Months later, both Annie and Shirley reminded Troy and Britta about the upcoming anniversary of their first date. Afterwards Annie asked Britta how the date went unaware that Troy and her broke up.
After the study group graduated, Annie and Britta returned to Greendale when Abed told them Jeff had come back and was forming a "Save Greendale Committee".

In Britta and Annie's sixth year at school, an overlooked task by the Save Greendale Committee resulted in a disastrous outcome. Britta and Annie initially disliked the consultant Frankie Dart that Dean Pelton hired to run the committee. Eventually they accepted her and inventor Elroy Patashnik into the group. Britta was homeless at the time and accepted an offer from Annie and Abed to move into their apartment. She was infuriated that her parents George and Deb Perry orchestrated the arrangement. Britta ultimately made peace with the arrangement but tested Annie's apartment rules when she threw a large party at her new home. When a hacker threatened to expose sensitive school information, Britta convinced the committee to not give into his demands. Britta and Annie regretted this after the hacker released their personal emails to the public. Britta and Annie have an awkward lunch with Frankie before attending the wedding of Garrett and Stacy with the rest of the committee. Britta and Annie's arrival with the group creates a spectacle at the event. Their attempts to improve their behaviour at the reception results in a worse situation unfolding. At the end of the semester she and the committee imagine what next year might be like. While Britta stays behind at Greendale, Annie leaves for the summer to accept a F.B.I. internship.
