Among the many derived works are two short stories, three novellas, a novel series featuring recurring secondary character Lord John Grey, a graphic novel, a musical album, and two television series.

Brianna Ellen Randall Fraser MacKenzie is the second daughter of Claire and Jamie Fraser. Brianna did not know the story of her true parentage until after the man she had thought was her father, Frank Randall, had died and her mother took her to Scotland, where she told Brianna and Roger MacKenzie about her journey through time and her life with Jamie.  Brianna and Roger would marry and have two children:  Jem and Mandy

Brianna was born and raised in Boston, Mas.sachusetts, to English expatriate parents Claire and Frank Randall. Frank was a professor of history at Harvard University, and Claire was a homemaker during Brianna's early years.

Brianna attended a private Catholic school. When Brianna reached school age, her mother started medical school. One day when Brianna was seven, Claire was late coming home to relieve the babysitter. The babysitter left Brianna alone, and Brianna ventured outside to look for Claire. She was hit by a slow-moving car, and Claire decided to quit her program so she could care for Brianna full-time. Frank persuaded her not to, and offered to have Brianna come to his university office after school.

When she was about twelve, Frank taught Brianna to shoot a gun. He gave her a .22 gauge rifle when she was thirteen, and a shotgun for her fifteenth birthday. He continued to take her to practice shooting, with a pistol, rifle and shotgun well into her teens.

Shortly after her seventeenth birthday, just months before she would graduate from high school, her father was killed in a car accident. In the fall, after having taking history courses at the university while in high school, she enrolled as a history major.

In spring of 1968, Brianna's mother took her to Scotland, ostensibly for a sight-seeing tour. However, soon she found out that Claire had ulterior reasons for bringing her there. Claire revealed the truth to Brianna: that her biological father was an 18th-century Scottish Highlander named Jamie Fraser.

With a little time and some first-hand experience with the stone circle at Craigh na Dun, Brianna came to accept her mother's incredible story as true. At Brianna's urging, Claire traveled back to the 18th century to be with Jamie. Brianna returned to Boston and changed her major to mechanical engineering. She completed her degree at the Ma.s.sachusetts Institute of Technology in the spring of 1971.
