Mingella

"Grunty's sisters you should not mock, now watch out magic blast this rock!"

- Mingella Winkybunion

Mingella Winkybunion, also called Mingy on occasion, is a sister of Gruntilda who appears as an antagonist in Banjo-Tooie. She depicted is tall and has a very gaunt, thin frame, in stark contrast with her other sister Blobbelda, who is garishly obese. Together with Blobbelda and Klungo, Mingella hopes to revive her sister, restore her to her original form, and help her get revenge on Banjo and Kazooie.

Physical Characteristics
Mingella is the thinnest of the four Winkybunion sisters. She is tall, thin stereotypical witch. She wears a sleek, low cut navy blue dress and pointed witch's hat. She has a pink bob cut, a large, thin nose, and crooked yellow teeth. During the Tower of Tragedy Quiz, Grunty refers to her as her "gorgeous, slim sister". She is also seen in the beginning of Banjo-Tooie carrying a large spellbook, which she uses to unite her powers with Blobbelda and free Grunty.

Mingella also has a tendancy to speak cryptically. She, along with Blobbelda, commonly uses anastrophe (a figure of speech involving an inversion of a language's ordinary order of words). Ironically, they find Grunty's rhyming annoying and force her to stop.

History
"Listen Klungo, save your shoulder, you'll never shift this massive boulder. If you insist on getting blisters, first send a message to my sisters!"

- Gruntilda Winkybunion

At the end of Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, Grunty's ghost, who has just been defeated by the duo on top of her tower once again, returns to her body, still underneath the boulder. She tells Klungo to summon her sisters to help him move the boulder crushing her. Using the wreckage of Mecha-Grunty, Mingella and Blobbelda create the Hag 1 and break into Spiral Mountain, beginning the events of Banjo-Tooie.

Rare's official site also reveals that the trio have not been together since childhood. It also states that Gruntilia is the eldest of the three witches.

Banjo-Tooie
Upon reaching Spiral Mountian, Mingella, with spellbook in tow, combines her powers with Blobbelda and frees Grunty by making the bouder crushing her vanish. After she rises, Grunty is immediately concerned with her boney, skinless body, which has apparently been disintegrating ever since the end of Banjo-Kazooie. Mingella shallowly complements her weight, saying that she looks thinner.

After wreaking havoc and killing Bottles the three go back to Cauldron Keep, where Mingella and Blobbelda introduce Grunty to B.O.B., a large life-draining machine which they have built prior to start of the game. From there the three of them drain the life force from King Jingaling, and plan thier next move. Neither Mingella or Blobbelda are seen until the Tower of Tragedy Quiz, where they serve as the other two competitors.

Following her inevitable failure in Tower of Tragedy Quiz, Grunty impulsively drops a 1-ton weight on her, presumably killing her.
