'''Brentilda''' is a recurring character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].


'''Brentilda Winkybunion''' is one of the four Winkybunion sisters. Unlike the rest of her sisters Brentilda's looks are passable and she chooses not to be evil. Thus, rather than a witch, Brentilda assumes the role of a benevolent fairy godmother. This causes much tension between her and her three sisters.
==Physical traits==
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.


She is disgusted with [[Gruntilda]], who has become evil, and helps [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] by telling them interesting facts about her. While this may seem completely trivial and pointless at the time she tells them, they are actually very helpful ( And borderline, required! ) during certain questions of [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]].
==Personality==
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.  


==Physical Characteristics==
==Biography==
Brentilda, like [[Gruntilda]], [[Mingella]], and [[Blobbelda]], is green and has pointed ears. However, rather than dressed 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' black robes, Brentilda wears a frilly, lacey, layered pink gown. She has her whitish-blonde 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.
Brentilda is [[Gruntilda]]'s sister. Unlike her other two sisters, [[Blobbelda]] and [[Mingella]], Brentila is a kind fairy godmother rather than an evil witch.

[[File:Brentilda BK screenshot.jpg|thumb|200px|Brentilda near Bubblegloop Swamp's entrance in ''Banjo-Kazooie'']]


In terms of her body type, she has a pudgy frame, being mildly thinner than Gruntilda but nowhere near as thin as Mingella.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Brentilda's first appearance, she 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.

Brentilda can be found in ten different areas of Gruntilda's Lair:


Brentilda hides around various points around [[Gruntilda's Lair]]. Gruntilda is likely not aware of her presence, or is simpy too lazy to deal with getting rid of her; thus she is free to run wild, working behind her back and pulling strings behind the scenes to get the duo to defeat her.

*Atop one of the pipes near the entrance of [[Clanker's Cavern]]

Every time the duo find her, she tells them three disgusting yet helpful [[Facts about Gruntilda|facts]] about her sister [[Gruntilda]], ranging from the name of her old boyfriend to her favorite color. Banjo and Kazooie use these facts for the "Grunty Square" questions on the [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]] board game. These facts are different for every save file, each having three variations (which are also picked at random at the time you'll hear them first), so the player must hear what Brentilda has to say in their own file for the facts to be of any use. Brentilda will also refill Banjo and Kazooie's health bar when they talk to her.
===''Banjo-Tooie''===
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.


An interesting thing to note is a painting of Brentilda that is hung in the dining room of [[Mad Monster Mansion]].
===''Nuts & Bolts''===
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]]. She is an incorrect answer for a question that asks "who was Banjo's adversary in ''Banjo-Tooie''," with the correct answer being "Gruntilda."


===''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''===
==Flavor text==
Brentilda is completely 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 previously seen in [[Mad Monster Mansion]] in the last game. The difference is that the one in pawno's emporium is rectangular, whereas the one in the Mansion was arched.

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.''"


==Trivia==
==Quotes==
*Brentilda's wardrobe draws heavy inspiration from [[wikipedia: Glinda|Glinda]], the Good Witch of the South from [[wikipedia: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]] and its adaptions, while her sisters (specifically Gruntilda) appear to take their designs from the [[wikipedia: Wicked Witch of the West|Wicked Witch of the West]].
