'''Mingella''' (also known as '''Mingy''') is the sister of [[Gruntilda]] who appeared as one of the two secondary antagonists in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. She was 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 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.  


==Physical characteristics==
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. Both Mingella and Blobbelda speak in anastrophe, just like {{wp|Yoda}} from the ''{{wp|Star Wars}}'' films.  
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.


Mingella also has a tendency to speak cryptically. She, along with Blobbelda, commonly uses anastrophe similar to Yoda from Star Wars (a figure of speech involving an inversion of a language's ordinary order of words). She does, however, speak in rhyme once, when telling Klungo not to mock Gruntilda's sisters, and thus watch them blast the boulder over Gruntilda, though in that particular case, it was most likely them reciting a spell.

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]]''.
 
[[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.{{citation needed}}

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.
In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Mingella and Blobbelda first appear in the opening cutscene, where they arrive at [[Spiral Mountain]].

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.

Neither Mingella or Blobbelda are seen until the [[Tower of Tragedy Quiz]], where they serve as the other two competitors.

==Trivia==
*Like Blobbelda, after draining Jingaling's life force, Mingella's role in the plot drastically diminishes, to the point that she has no dialog whatsoever after said scene. Between that scene and the Tower of Tragedy, her only appearance is as the [[Chuffy]] icon for the Isle O' Hags.
