- “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 Winkybunion, Banjo-Kazooie
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 is a kindly fairy godmother. This causes much tension between her and her three sisters.
She is disgusted with Grunilda, 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.
Physical Characteristics
Brentilda, like Gruntilda, Mingella, and Blobbelda, is green and has pointed ears. However, rather than a witch, Brentilda assumes the role of a benevolent fairy godmother, complete with a delicate pink outfit and fairy wings. In stark contrast with her sisters' black robes, Brentilda wears a frilly, lacey, lareyed 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.
In terms of her body type, she has a pudgy frame, being mildly thinner than Gruntilda but nowhere near as thin as Mingella.
Games
Banjo-Kazooie
Brentilda hides around various points around Gruntilda's Lair. Gruntilda is likely not aware of her presence or simpy is to 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.
Once the duo find her, she tells them disgusting yet helpful 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.
The facts are different for every save file, each having three variations, 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.

Trivia
- Brentilda's wardrobe draws heavy inspiration from Glinda, the Good Witch of the South 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.
