History
Bond first meets Brandt when he comes to meet Osato. She and Osato arrive by helicopter. After being introduced to Bond she offers him a glas of champagne which he politely turns down. When Bond leaves Osato orders Brandt to kill 'Mr. Fisher'.
Later at the Kobe docks Bond is captured and taken to see her on board the freighter Ning-po. Knowing that she will be killed later she allows herself to be seduced by Bond pretending to be on his side. During the interrogation, Bond lies to Brandt saying that he is an industrial spy and offers Brandt $150,000 to help escape back to Tokyo. The next day while traveling in a Meyers 200 however she parachutes out after dropping a magnesium flare disguised as a tube of lipstick onto the floor leaving Bond to try and control the diving plane.
He manages an emergency landing narrowly escaping before the plane blows up. Later at Blofeld's volcano lair Blofeld calls Brandt and Osato to his quarters. At first Blofeld accused Osato of failing to kill Bond but displeased with Number 11's failures. Blofeld feeds her to his school of hungry piranhas.
