“Hello there, young ones! I'm Brentilda, Gruntilda's nicer sister. I've crept down here to help you defeat the old hag, it's about time she was taught a lesson!”
Brentilda, Banjo-Kazooie

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

Appearance

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.

In terms of her body type, she has a pudgy frame, being mildly thinner than Gruntilda but nowhere near as thin as Mingella.

History

Banjo-Kazooie

Banjo encounters Brentilda in Banjo-Kazooie

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.

A portrait depicting Brentilda can be seen in Mad Monster Mansion, where Napper is located.

Banjo-Tooie

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.

Locations

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

Trivia

  • Brentilda's wardrobe draws heavy inspiration from Glinda the Good Witch of the North from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its adaptions, while her sisters (specifically Gruntilda) appear to take their designs from the Wicked Witch of the West.
  • Although being absent from Banjo-Tooie, she seems to have the same voice as Honey B.
  • When Banjo and Kazooie first meet Brentilda, she mentions how her facts about Gruntilda would "save them from a fiery fate," foreshadowing Grunty's Furnace Fun.
  • Though she is absent from Banjo-Tooie, a portrait of her can be found in the level Jolly Roger's Lagoon in Pawno's Emporium. It is turned on its side, leaning against the wall behind a B-K box.
  • Brentilda is the only one of the Winkybunion sisters to speak normally (Gruntilda speaks in rhyme, while Mingella and Blobbelda speak in anastrophe just like Yoda from the Star Wars franchise).
