'''Brentilda''' is a recurring character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].
'''Brentilda''' is a character in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series. She is [[Gruntilda]]'s sister and is, rather than an evil witch, a kind fairy godmother.


==Physical traits==
==Appearance==
Brentilda has green skin and pointed ears, much like her sisters Gruntilda, [[Mingella]], and [[Blobbelda]]. She dresses a pink oufit with sparkles, white sleeves and fairy wings. She has a white-blond hair and wears a golden diadem, thin-framed round glasses and holds a star-tipped wand.
Like Gruntilda and her two other sisters, [[Mingella]], and [[Blobbelda]], Brentilda is green and has pointed ears. However, rather than dressing in black and blue like her sisters, Brentilda dresses as a kindly fairy, complete with a delicate pink outfit and fairy wings. In stark contrast with her sisters' drab black robes, Brentilda wears a frilly, lacey, layered pink gown. She has her whitish-blond hair up in a bun and wears a golden diadem. She holds a sharp star-tipped wand and appears to wear very thin-framed glasses.


==Personality==
In terms of her body type, she has a pudgy frame, being mildly thinner than Gruntilda but nowhere near as thin as Mingella.
Brentilda is described many times as being much nicer than her sister Gruntilda, being "her opposite in every way, and a far better person for it."<ref>''Banjo-Kazooie'' instruction booklet, page 7</ref> She appears to be very kind towards people, referring to Banjo and Kazooie as "young ones" and "dears." She is not very polite when talking about her sister, however, calling her things such as "old hag," her "fat old sister" and "wartbags," among other names.  


==Biography==
==History==
Brentilda is [[Gruntilda]]'s sister. Unlike her other two sisters, [[Blobbelda]] and [[Mingella]], Brentila is a kind fairy godmother rather than an evil witch.

Brentilda can be found in various points throughout [[Gruntilda's Lair]] and, when encountered, will tell the duo facts about her sister's life which are often regarded as "disgusting," such as the flavor of her tooth paste, what was her nickname in witch school, where she sleeps among other trivia about the witch. While they may seem useless, these facts are required to be known in order to answer specific questions in [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]], near the end of the game. The pieces of information told by Brentilda will change in every save file, each having three possible variations picked at random. If Banjo and Kazooie's health bar is low when talking to her in a new area for the first time, she will refill it completely.

While not physically appearing in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', a picture of Brentilda can be found in the floor of [[Pawno's Emporium]]. This portrait is similar to the one found in Mad Monster Mansion in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', but with a more rectangular frame. Additionally, [[Honey B]] reuses Brentilda's voice clips.
Brentilda is absent from ''Banjo-Tooie'', nor is she even mentioned by the other Winkybunions. However, a portrait of Brentilda appears on the floor in [[Pawno's Emporium]]. This portrait is similar to the one in [[Mad Monster Mansion]] in ''Banjo-Kazooie''. The difference is that the one in Pawno's Emporium is rectangular, whereas the one in the Mansion was arched.


===''Nuts & Bolts''===
==Locations==
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Brentilda is mentioned in the [[Lord of Games]]' [[List of questions from The Six of the Best|quiz]] in [[Spiral Mountain]].

In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Brentilda is found in the following areas of Gruntilda's Lair:


==Flavor text==
*Near [[Treasure Trove Cove]] 's puzzle station.
*'''''Banjo-Kazooie'' manual profile:''' "''The witch's sister is her opposite in every way, and a far better person for it. Unfortunately even Brentilda's fairy godmother powers aren't strong enough to let her confront Gruntilda directly, so she offers all the help she can to Banjo and Kazooie instead.''"
*On the pipes atop the entrance to [[Clanker's Cavern]].
*Near the [[Click Clock Wood]] puzzle station.
*Behind the giant Grunty Statue.
*In the Right Alcove tunnel near the entrance to [[Bubblegloop Swamp]].

*Although being absent from Banjo-Tooie, she seems to have the same voice as [[Honey B]].
==References==
