'''Mingella''', occasionally nicknamed '''Mingy''', is a character in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.


==Physical traits==
'''Mingella Winkybunion''', also called '''Mingy''' on occasion, is a sister of [[Gruntilda]] who appears as an antagonist in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. She is depicted as tall with 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]].
Mingella is tall and thin. 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.


==Biography==
==Physical Characteristics==
Mingella is one of [[Gruntilda]]'s three sisters, along with [[Blobbelda]] and [[Brentilda]]. Mingella is paired with Blobbelda, and both of them only appear in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', as secondary antagonists. Both Mingella and Blobbelda speak in anastrophe.
Mingella is the thinnest of the four Winkybunion sisters. A stereotypical witch, she's tall and thin. 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.


===''Banjo-Tooie''===
Mingella also has a tendency 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).

In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Mingella and Blobbelda first appear in the opening cutscene, where they arrive at [[Spiral Mountain]]. Mingella takes out her spellbook and manages to lift the boulder that Grunty has been stuck under, thus freeing her. Shortly after Grunty is freed, she and her sisters go into the [[Hag 1]] and leave off to [[Cauldron Keep]].


At the [[Tower of Tragedy Quiz]] show, Mingella and Blobbelda are contestants. Grunty calls Mingella her "gorgeous, slim sister." Both of her sisters up losing, and Grunty impulsively drops a 1-ton weight onto both of them.
==History==
{{quote|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]]|[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]}}


===''Grunty's Revenge''===
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]]''.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''{{'}}s ending, Blobbelda and Mingella are vaguely mentioned by Gruntilda, who orders Klungo to get her sisters to help her, thus starting the events of ''Banjo-Tooie''.


===''Nuts & Bolts''===
[[Rare]]'s official site also reveals that the trio have not been together since childhood. It also states that Gruntilda is the eldest of the three witches.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Mingella is an incorrect answer for a question in [[Lord of Games]]' [[List of questions from The Six of the Best|quiz]] that asks "who was Banjo's adversary in ''Banjo-Tooie''," with the correct answer being "Gruntilda."


Her and Blobbelda are also vaguely mentioned in [[Spiral Mountain]] by a information speaker in the description for "Grunty's Grave." It mentions that, after being buried under a rock in the events of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Gruntilda was "brought back by her sisters as an even less attractive skeleton."
==Games==
===''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''===
[[Image:Grunty's sisters.png|thumb|The two sinister witches anxiously watching Grunty rise for the first time in two years.]]
Upon reaching Spiral Mountain, Mingella, with spellbook in tow, combines her powers with Blobbelda and frees Grunty by making the boulder 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.


==Flavor text==
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 their next move. Neither Mingella or Blobbelda are seen until the [[Tower of Tragedy Quiz]], where they serve as the other two competitors.
*'''''Banjo-Tooie'' manual profile (shared with Blobbelda):''' "''The comical appearance of tall, thin Mingella and short, fat Blobbelda is a perfect disguise for their magical prowess, which makes short work of the giant boulder that covered their elder sister's grave. Not since childhood have the wart-covered coven been together, and as a result the odds have suddenly swung back to three against two in their favour!''"
 
Following her inevitable failure in Tower of Tragedy Quiz, Grunty impulsively drops a 1-ton weight on her, presumably killing her.
