Template:DB Character Bra (or Bura; pronounced as "Bulla" in the FUNimation English dub) is a fictional character in the manga Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z and the anime Dragon Ball Z, as well as Dragon Ball GT. Her seiyū is Hiromi Tsuru. In the FUNimation dub, she is voiced by Pariksi Fakhri. Bra's unusual name comes from the running joke of her family members all being named after various undergarments. It's commonly accepted that her full name is Bra Briefs[citation needed].

Biography

Bra is the second child (after Trunks) of Bulma and Vegeta, therefore half-human and half-Saiyan. She is good friends with Son Gohan and Videl's daughter, Pan and with Kuririn and Android #18's daughter, Marron. She is half-Saiyan, where as Pan is only quarter Saiyan. Unlike Pan who seems tomboyish, Bra seems pretty feminine and sticks around her mom. Like Bulma, Bra has blue hair in the anime and purple hair in the manga.

Bra is usually cheerful, eager to please, and very fond of her father. In fact, Bra may be the only person in the universe that Vegeta will answer to, often bending to her wishes, such as insisting Vegeta shave off his mustache or alas, go shopping together. Her father doesn't appear to make a point of encouraging her to train (like he does to her brother Trunks), but the two are quite close, as it becomes apparent in DBGT, where Vegeta proves to be very protective of his daughter on subsequent occasions.

During the Baby Saga, Bra (along with the rest of the world) is possessed by Baby. She is one of the four characters who help Baby become stronger; after this, however, her role is greatly reduced. Later, she, along with Videl, Bulma, and Chi-Chi want to fight along in the Super #17 Saga, however, Goku and #18 have done the job already. She is last seen at the end of the Super #17 Saga, standing with the others at the Capsule Corp., when Evil Shenlong appears, but for some reason she is not seen in the next episode with them, and is not seen for the rest of the series.

Special abilities

Bukujutsu

Although she has never been seen in combat, except when bebi or Baby had her under his control, she does have the ability to fly through use of her ki.
